Chapter 80: The Ghost Tomb

According to Guo Tianxiao, the two brothers and their father Guo Jianguo are the descendants of the Yinbei faction, a branch of the Outer Eight Elements Thief Sect.

This sect has a rule since ancient times, that is, the father and son must cooperate to rob the tomb.

The artifact in the tomb is a priceless treasure, and if it is not for the cooperation of people of the same bloodline to rob the tomb, it is very likely that something will happen in the dark.

The relationship between father and son is closer, and the probability of this situation is less, so the Yinbei faction will have such a rule, and it is precisely because of this that there are very few disciples in the Yinbei faction, and there are only seven or eight teams at most if they are counted in the Guo family.

Forty years ago, the father and son stole an ancient tomb in Xiangxi, and when they returned, they learned in a gambling house in Zhaoping that there was a big tomb hidden in the steamed bun mountain here, and there was a treasure in the tomb named Zhentianyin.

The age of this thing is unknown, but it is a rare treasure, this Zhentian seal is not a seal used by ordinary emperors and generals, but an artifact.

It is rumored that the size can be changed, suppressing all things in the world, according to the ancient books, the Zhentian seal is hidden in the ancient tomb of Mantou Mountain.

After hearing the news, the father and son of the Guo family changed their plans and rushed to Chenjia Village before the other colleagues did not make a move.

It's just that three outsiders came to the village for no reason and would definitely arouse the awareness of the village police, so Guo Jianguo lied that he owed gambling debts outside and came to Chenjia Village to take refuge.

After obtaining the consent of the village chief, they entered Mantou Mountain under the pretext of quarrying stones, in order to find the ancient tombs in Mantou Mountain.

At that time, they carried professional equipment and were ready to find out in Mantou Mountain, but what they didn't expect was that they searched in the mountain for two days and two nights without finding any clues.

Not to mention digging into the coffin to find the artifact, even the door of the ancient tomb was not found.

Two days later, in the evening, Guo Jianguo held a meeting with Guo Tianxiao and the two brothers, planning to search for the ancient tomb in the mountains again at night, and if they did, they would not be able to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning.

After all, the three of them, father and son, have been in the mountain for two days, and if the time goes by, the villagers of Chenjia Village will definitely feel that there is a problem.

If they were really discovered, it would probably not be so easy for them to go into the mountains again, so they planned to go back to the village for a few days first, and then continue to go into the mountains to search for graves after the limelight had passed.

After discussing the plan, the three of them hurriedly had dinner in the forest, and then entered the forest again to find the location of the ancient tomb, but just as they were halfway up the mountain, they suddenly heard a small singing sound from the forest.

The singing sound is ethereal and pleasant, like floating clouds scattering and gathering and scattering, ethereal and difficult to find.

After hearing the sound of singing, the three of them secretly wondered in their hearts, this Mantou Mountain is rarely populated on weekdays, how can there be a singing sound, could it be that there is a passing opera troupe passing by?

But it's impossible to think about it carefully, the troupe is tired of traveling, and if it stops, it will be good to rest, where can I have the leisure to sing again.

After thinking about it, the three of them decided to follow the sound of singing to find out what was going on.

The three of them listened with bated breath, and after a few minutes, they finally made out the exact location, and then the three of them followed the sound in the direction from which the sound came.

After pacing all the way, the three of them soon came to a cave that was two meters high and one and a half meters wide, and the interior was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but the sound of singing came from it.

Seeing the cave in front of them, Guo Jianguo and the others were surprised, because in the past two days, they had searched the entire Mantou Mountain, but they had never found this cave, and they had been here more than once, and there was no cave here at that time.

Surprised, Guo Jianguo proposed to go to the cave to find out what was going on, but it was this decision that led to the death of Guo Tianxiao and Guo Zhenxing.

The trio left their heavier equipment outside the cave, carrying only sapper shovels, daggers, and flashlights.

After bringing their equipment, the three of them entered the cave, which was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers.

The three of them turned on the flashlight and shone it around, and they found that there were dirt walls all around, and there were traces of knives and axes on them, which they thought should be caused by manual excavation.

Seeing that the cave was dug out by hand, Guo Jianguo and the others were overjoyed, because it was very likely that this was a passage into the ancient tomb.

Tomb robbers are rumored to have ghost tombs in the world, and this kind of ghost tomb is not named because there are ghosts in it, but because this kind of tomb cannot be explored at all in ordinary times, whether it is using ancient folk methods or modern technology, it cannot illuminate the tomb gate.

The door of the tomb is only open at a certain time on a certain day, and because of this uncertainty and mystery, it is called a ghost tomb by people in the tomb robbery industry.

In the ecstasy, the three of them continued to walk along the cave, but after walking for about a few minutes, a dazzling red light appeared in front of them.

After seeing the red light, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little stunned in their hearts, this ancient tomb is generally thousands of years old, and it is rare for a light to exist, let alone a red light.

And the ethereal opera sound accompanying the advance is becoming clearer and clearer, it sounds like it should be a drunken concubine, which is generally used for the birthday celebration of the elderly.

Guo Jianguo's father and son felt retreating when they saw the red light appearing in front of them, and felt that this cave was a little evil, and they couldn't help but retreat.

But after thinking about it, maybe it is precisely because of the unusual appearance of this ancient tomb, maybe the legendary Zhentian seal is hidden in it.

After a fierce ideological struggle, the three of them decided to continue moving forward with courage, so the three of them changed their formation and advanced in a fan shape.

Guo Jianguo is holding a flashlight in the center, and the Guo brothers on both sides are holding sapper shovels in addition to holding flashlights, and they can block in time if there is danger.

The three of them walked slowly and softly, and after about two or three minutes they came to the place of red light, and when they looked up, the scene in front of them made them stand on the spot.

In front of me is a passage about dozens of meters long, and the passage is surrounded by bluestones, which looks extremely neat.

Between the bluestone and the top wall, red silk and red lanterns are hung, and each lantern has a word for longevity written on it, as if someone is celebrating a birthday.

Seeing this, Guo Jianguo already felt that something was not right, because there was no way to see the vision in this ancient tomb, and besides, there was no one in this steamed bun mountain, how could anyone have a birthday?

Although he had doubts in his heart, his curiosity drove him to continue to walk forward, and the two Guo Tianxiao brothers had no choice but to follow closely when they saw Guo Jianguo continuing to move forward.

After passing through the passage covered with red lanterns, the three of them came to a stone gate, which was wide open, and the interior was filled with laughter and laughter, and the ethereal singing sound came from it.

The three of them stood boldly behind the stone gate and poked their heads out, but what they saw in front of them completely shocked them.

Behind the stone gate is a huge stone chamber space, not to mention tens of thousands of square meters.

At this time, hundreds of yellow-skinned children sat in the stone room, and in front of them were nearly a hundred young men and women, who surrounded an elderly lady in it.

The old lady wore a yellow satin blouse with the word "Shou" embroidered on it.

Judging from her appearance, this old lady is rarely seventy or eighty years old, with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and white hair, but her eyes are bright.

From a distance, there is a fine light, as if it is not a baby born with grains.

In front of the old lady in yellow is a stone-carved table of eight immortals, on which are placed more than a dozen steamed chickens, in addition to various melons and fruit snacks.

A few meters away from the old lady is a high platform, and at this time, a woman in a costume is tossing and turning on the stage, and her graceful figure has caused bursts of applause from the audience.

There were several musicians beating gongs and drums next to her, but there was no smile on their faces, some were just frightened, and some even shivered while playing the drums.

After singing a song, the applause thundered, and one of the men sitting next to the old lady saw that the singing woman was about to step down, at this time he looked at the old lady, saying that today is the grandmother's birthday, so naturally he wants to make the grandmother happy.

After that, the man clapped his hands, and saw several men and women in the cave next to him pushing a huge iron pot into the stone room, which was still filled with boiling water.

Seeing this, the singing woman exclaimed in surprise and wanted to escape, but she didn't expect to be restrained by several men, and after taking off her clothes, she threw it directly into the boiling water.

The woman struggled in the iron pot for a few seconds before she stopped moving, and soon it was boiled into a pot of rotten meat.

Seeing the terrifying scene in front of them, Guo Jianguo's father and son knew that they had encountered something unclean, and just as they were about to turn around and flee, Guo Tianxiao accidentally collided with the stone gate because of the sapper shovel in his hand in a panic.

Hearing the sound, all the people immediately looked at the door, and when they saw Guo Jianguo's father and son, they immediately pounced on them.

Although the Guo brothers had sharp sapper shovels in their hands, they had a large number of opponents, and finally the two Guo brothers were caught by the other party after a battle.

In the fierce battle, Guo Tianxiao's palm was broken, Guo Zhenxing's ear was bitten off, and Guo Jianguo finally escaped under the cover of his two sons.

Later, the two brothers of the Guo family, like the singing woman, were thrown into a boiling iron pot to cook and eat, and finally ended up with no bones left.

After the death of the two, due to their physical disabilities, they could not enter the reincarnation of the underworld, so they have been wandering in the Mantou Mountain, trying to find a substitute to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul.

But I didn't expect that this wait would be forty years, and I haven't seen the three of us alive until today.

After listening to Guo Tianxiao, I finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, but I didn't expect the Huang family, as a Northeast Baojia Immortal, to be able to do such a cruel thing, so it was not groundless for them to want to capture Chenjia Village and kill the villagers.

"Do you hate the disciples of the Huang family?" Ning Nanxi suddenly looked at Guo Tianxiao and the two brothers and asked.

"How can we not hate, they threw our two brothers into the boiling water of the iron pot, let the boiling water erode our whole body, and finally ate our meat into our stomachs, how can we not hate them, it's just that the Huang family's immortal skills are too high, and our brothers have no way to take revenge, although they are unwilling, they can only give up."

Guo Tianxiao gritted his teeth when he spoke, and his face showed resentment and helplessness.

"It's not a secret, this time we came to Mantou Mountain to find the Huang family's great immortal, if possible, we will destroy it, but now we can't find the Huang family's lair, if you believe us, tell us where the cave is, maybe we can help you avenge your hatred!" Ning Nanxi looked at Guo Tianxiao and the two brothers and said.

As soon as these words came out, Guo Tianxiao and Guo Zhenxing both showed great joy on their faces, but soon their joyful expressions dissipated, and their faces once again showed a solemn and gloomy expression.
