Chapter Twenty-Six: You sigh softly
Ling Han hurriedly chased after him, and as soon as he turned the mountain, he saw that the white shadow was still speeding in front, and Ling Han gritted his teeth and chased after him. But he is fast, Bai Ying is also fast, he is slow, Bai Ying is also slow, as if he is deliberately playing a cat and mouse game with Ling Han, always separated by a distance of more than ten meters.
Ling Han shouted, "Stop!
But as if he hadn't heard, the white shadow kept going. After rounding a few more mountain beams, the white shadow disappeared.
Ling Han bent down, gasped for a while, calmed his rapid heartbeat, and patrolled around the place where the white shadow had disappeared, and found a circular black hole from top to bottom, straight into the bottom of the mountain!
Ling Han looked down, it was black, as if there was no bottom. Ling Han found a stone next to him and threw it down, and after a long time, he heard a "plop" sound from below, it seemed that the hole was very deep, and the bottom was full of water.
Ling Han himself had no way to go down to explore, so he made a mark at the entrance of the cave, and then returned the same way, leaving a mark along the way. Fortunately, he didn't go far, and after a while, Ling Han returned to the village.
At this time, it is midnight.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Ling Han was woken up in a daze, he yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he saw it, it was Tianbao!
"Let's go catch a hare for breakfast!" said Tempo excitedly, looking like he had slept well last night.
"Brother Tianbao, we didn't come out to play, we have to obey the rules even if we are in the army!" Ling Han said.
"Brother Ling, are you awake!" A voice came in from outside the tent, it was the city lord of Liao. "I shot a hare in the morning, it was just roasted, and I got two for Brother Ling!"
"I'm going to fight it myself!" Tianbao said angrily.
Ling Han had no choice but to smile in return.
Ling Han came out of the tent, and when he saw the city lord of Liao, he was holding a roasted fragrant hare in his hand, and Ling Han couldn't help but move his index finger when he saw it.
took a hare, with a little force on both hands, a thigh was torn off, and in an instant, the fragrance was fragrant!
Tianbao "Teng" got out of the tent, snatched half of the hare from Ling Han, and chewed it!
Liao Bufan and Ling Han couldn't help but laugh out loud as they looked at Tianbao's gobbling appearance.
After eating the hare, Ling Han said to the Liao City Lord: "I have something I want to tell the Lord Shen Zhuang and the City Lord!"
So, the two entered Shen Chao's big tent, and when Shen Chao saw that it was Ling Han, he greeted each other.
Ling Han said: "The owner of the village, the elder lost sleep last night, and when he was walking outside the mountain, he found a woman in white flashing in front of him, but the junior followed for a long time and did not catch up, and finally, the woman disappeared, but the junior found a strange cave, where the woman disappeared!"
I saw that Shen Liao's expressions were a little excited, and Shen Chao's voice trembled a little: "Mo Fei, Mo Fei, Mo Fei......"
"Concubine Xiang is manifested!" Liao Bufan said loudly!
"Brother Ling, do you remember where that cave is?" Shen Chao said.
"I made marks along the way, I should be able to find it!" Ling Han said.
"Without further ado, let's get ready and go!" Shen Chao said.
Ling Han led the way, Shen Liao and the others followed, and a group of more than 20 people, all of whom were good hands of the Shen family, brought rope tools and went to explore the legendary Xiangfei tomb together.
On the way, Ling Han asked Shen Chao about the origin of this fragrant concubine. Shen Chao told the legend that he had been familiar with since he was a child:
There is a demon sealed in the Sealed Demon Mountain, and it has been sealed for so long that everyone has forgotten it. One day, a group of children went to play on the side of the mountain, and met an old man with a white beard, and the old man played with the children for several days, and the children liked this old man very much. A week passed, and the old man suddenly said to the children, "Let's make a game!" The old man took out a long-necked transparent bottle with three small balls in it, and a rope was tied to each of them, and the other end of the rope was on the outside of the bottle. The old man asked the three children to hold a small ball tied to a rope and said, "This is a bottle or a well, and each of you is a small ball tied to a rope, and suddenly there is water in the well, you must run out quickly, otherwise the well will be drowned if it is full of water!" Until the last three children came to play this game, a quiet little girl said: "Xiaohua, you pull it out first, then the second fat pulls out, I last!" The old man asked the little girl, "Why did you let the others go out first?" and "Because I am the biggest, I want to protect them!" said the little girl without hesitation. The old man was very pleased, so he took this quiet little girl as an apprentice and taught her some spells. Later, there was a plague at the foot of the mountain, and this little girl cast a spell to save people, because her body exuded a faint fragrance, and everyone called her Xiangfei! Legend has that Xiangfei has the secret books and treasures handed down by the old man, and they also disappeared into the depths of this mountain, there were many people who wanted to come to worship Xiangfei, and there were many greedy people who wanted to find Xiangfei's treasure, but they all returned empty-handed, so the legend of this Xiangfei tomb has been handed down.
After hearing this, Ling Han secretly admired in his heart that although this Xiangfei was young, she had a compassionate and compassionate bodhisattva heart, which was really admirable.
Walking to the place where the woman in white disappeared last night, I saw the cave, and there were traces of water flow next to it.
The entrance to the cave is very small, and only one person can go up and down, looking at the black hole inside.
Tianbao was the most timid, but he was very curious, lying at the entrance of the cave and looking, a gust of wind blew, making him creepy, "There are ghosts!" suddenly jumped up and hid behind everyone.
It caused everyone to laugh for a while.
Liao Bufan took the lead, tied the rope around his waist, lit the torch, and went down the hole first, the rope was lowered for more than 20 meters, only to hear Liao Bufan shout: "Stop!"
And they stopped putting the ropes.
After waiting for a while, I heard Liao Bufan say: "Collect the rope!"
Everyone worked hard together, and they felt heavy, it seemed that it was definitely not the Liao City Lord who was tied to it. With great effort, everyone dragged into a well-sealed box.
"And!" I heard Liao Bufan shouting below.
So, the people put the rope down again, and in this way, more than a dozen identical boxes were pulled up in a row.
Everyone thought it was gone, but they only heard the Lord of Liao City say: "Also, pay attention, this time slow down!"
The crowd pulled the rope upwards, only this time it wasn't as heavy as before.
As soon as the rope came up, the child of the Shen family, who was pulling the rope at the front, actually sat on the ground with a "Mom!" sound.
When everyone looked closely, it was a skeleton! The clothes were already tattered, but they could vaguely see that it was the skeleton of a woman!
In this way, more than a dozen skeletons were pulled in a row, and Liao Bufan returned to the ground.
Shen Chao pried open a box, and it was all gold and silver!
Shen Chao said: "It seems that this is not the tomb of Concubine Xiang, but the treasure of the dragon in the sky back then! The bones of those women must be those innocent women of good families, who were hidden here by those thieves!"
"Yes!" Liao Bufan said: "I heard the elders say that before the burning of Jiulong Village, they also searched for the treasures plundered by the dragon in the sky, but they didn't find it! I didn't expect that after so many years, they would be able to see the light of day again! It's a pity that these women were mutilated by these beasts here!"
"It's really not a pity that these bandits are dead!" Ling Han said indignantly.
"What about these bones?" asked one of the disciples.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Ling Han looked around and said, "Lord Shen Zhuang, Lord Liao, the junior has a request, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Little brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Shen Chao said.
"It is said that the fallen leaves return to the roots, but too much time has passed, I'm afraid that the families of these women are also difficult to find, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, it is better to be buried on the spot! lest they will not be reincarnated after they die! When they return to the city, with the city lord of Lao Liao inquiring, can they find their family members, and then distribute these gold and silver to them, it can be regarded as a little compensation!" Ling Han said.
"Okay!" Shen Chao patted Ling Han's shoulder approvingly, "Little brother is very right!"
"That's very good!" Liao Bufan said.
Everyone nodded their heads, feeling justified.
"I have thanked Lord Shen Zhuang and City Lord Liao for these dead women!" I think these women will be grateful for their kindness even if they are under Jiuquan!" Ling Han said
"Brother Ling, they should thank you and thank you! It's all your credit!" Shen Chao said with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Ling! This expedition, you are the first to make these women safe, it is also because of your kindness!" Liao Bufan said.
All the sergeants started together, and in a moment, they dug the tomb, and everyone wrapped each skeleton in linen cloth and buried it carefully, Ling Han suddenly found that one of the bones was not tightly wrapped in linen, revealing a yellowed white skirt veil. Ling Han couldn't help but sigh lightly.
A new tomb rises in the mountains, and everyone bows in silence.
"You are the daughter of a good family, you are suffering from this great calamity, the dry bones cannot be harvested, and the soul cannot be free, now you meet the noble Ling Gongzi, let you enter the earth for peace, may you and others ascend to bliss as soon as possible!"
The army returned unharmed and fully loaded!
"Good news! Good news! The strongman of Jiulong Mountain has been exterminated!"
"Yes, I heard that it was Ling Gongzi, who killed the dragon bandit leader with one palm!"
"Ling Gongzi was sent by Concubine Xiang! He also found the bones of the woman who was plundered by the robbers back then! This time Ling Gongzi avenged them. ”
"How old is Ling Gongzi, really powerful!"
"I've seen that Ling Gongzi is seven feet long, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are clear, and his appearance is dignified!
The unmarried girls who heard it next to him were all secretly in love, and the young descendants next to him were all secretly jealous.
For a while, the entire Wind Chime City knew about a Ling Gongzi, and it was Ling Gongzi who was talking about it in the streets and alleys. There are even rumors that Ling Gongzi will marry Shen Biqiong, the daughter of Shen Zhuang, and the date is set for the fifth day of March next year, which can't help but make Lu Qiong ashamed and annoyed, and Liao Quan angry and anxious.
Back in Shen Zhuang, Shen Chao held a celebration banquet, and everyone unanimously recommended Ling Han's first merit.
At the banquet, everyone came to toast Ling Han one after another, and even the law enforcement elder who was not smiling also toasted Ling Han with a smile, because his grandson went out with the army, if it weren't for Ling Han, he almost threw his life in "Don't look back".
"Elder, Brother Ling's expedition this time can be regarded as a great contribution to the Shen family!" Shen Chao was a little drunk, and pulled the law enforcement elder to say.
"Count, count, this is not a great achievement, what else can be regarded as a great achievement! Ling Gongzi saved our entire Wind Chime City!" This time, this law enforcement elder supported Ling Han more firmly than anyone else.
"Then on the fifth day of the first month of next month, Ling Gongzi will worship our Shen family!
"This ...... It's just that the rules of the ancestors can't be changed! As long as someone recommends him, there will be no problem in entering my door!"
"I recommend!" a voice rang out!
