Chapter 11: The Tomb Keeper
The two of them drove to our place of stay that evening and met with us.
At that time, I also knew their names, one was named Li Wei and the other was Chen Gang, and their homes were all near Shaanxi.
They also prepared a lot of equipment and food this time, and they also brought a few black donkey hooves to ward off evil spirits and deal with the big dumplings in the tomb.
I thought to myself, "This amateur tomb robber also believes in zombies, and the preparation is quite complete."
After another day of resting, the next night, a strange man took advantage of the darkness of the night and walked to our car while we were all resting.
This person was wearing a white striped sports suit, a travel bag on his shoulder, a black hat on his head and a pair of sunglasses, he walked to the front of the car and knocked on the car glass.
At this time, Lei Zi said to me, "Xiao Linzi, don't do it first, he is my comrade-in-arms who is here to help us this time, you can call him a lone wolf."
This is his "code name", we used to call him that, he has been waiting for us here for many days, and I contacted him yesterday.
As soon as they heard that there was movement here, the two earth rats in the car also woke up, and when they saw that the current situation was a little relieved, they all got up and gathered together, and they were just ready to start planning the matter of going to the tomb this time!
I said to the two earth rats, "Brother Li Wei, please introduce some information about this ancient tomb, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles, and we are also in order to better enter the main tomb, so that we won't all die before the curse is lifted halfway."
Li Wei immediately spoke, "There is a mountain range in the north of the Guanzhong Plain that spans east and west, facing the Qinling Mountains in the distance, and the low part of this mountain range is also more than 1,000 meters high."
"According to legend, there are many tombs here, and many of them are tombs of the Tang Dynasty, the big tomb we found is in Dazhao Township, under a big mountain outside the village, that big mountain is actually a sealed mound, so huge sealed mound, you can expect how big the tomb below is, we also hit a hole in the ground at the beginning"
"Since we are laymen, no one understands the secret art of feng shui, and we can't find the correct position of the main tomb to shovel, so we randomly hit the thief hole and dig down, and tried several times to open the thief hole, and indeed hit the thief hole into the passage on the edge of the ear chamber, just inside we people touched the hidden weapon, and someone touched the mechanism on the floor."
"The poisonous arrows fired from the wall caused several people to fall to the ground and die on the spot, and the rest of us were terrified at the time, only to find that these arrows were coated with poison."
"Since none of us are professional tomb robbers, the preparations for going down to the tomb are not sufficient at all, and so many people have died in the encounter, so we have no choice but to leave the bodies of our companions."
"Hurry away in order to get something valuable, and everyone retreats a little further and heads down another fork in the road."
"Judging from what we found at the time, this tomb should be about 100 meters deep underground, and we walked inside from the tomb passage at that time, and we encountered a lot of strange insects on the way to the left ear chamber."
"We don't know what kind of bug it is, each black beetle has sharp teeth, and each beetle is the size of a baby's fist, and the black and bright carapace looks quite hard, so it's not easy to deal with."
"Several brothers were bitten, and there were some pus pockets on their bodies, and some yellow pus and blood were lying out, and they all fell to the ground in pain and rolled around, looking extremely painful, and their mouths made screams, and they died after a while."
"At that time, there were too many people dying, we all messed up, and began to run blindly, I turned around and ran to a room to hide, there were some burial goods in that room, and there was a coffin in it, but I didn't dare to open this coffin, this ancient jade was obtained in that room, and it was inlaid in a treasure box"
"This wooden box was placed on this coffin, and then I cut it off with a dagger, there were too many things to accompany the funeral in that room, there were a lot of good things, I was afraid that the things were too big to take and it was difficult to shoot, so I had to take the jade pendant and escape."
"I also found a lot of beautiful pictures of maids on the walls of this house, and I looked at the pictures that seemed to be from the Tang Dynasty, and I had some judgment in my heart at that time."
"I also thought about it at the time, and gave up this life, rather than not knowing if I could go out, in case I could really get out alive, without bringing something out, I was sorry for the desperate effort this time, I hid this piece of jade in the pocket of my clothes and took it out"
"At that time, I listened carefully to the screams outside in the stone room, and then I dared to go out to take a look, and looked at several corpses lying on the ground, and it is estimated that the people who did not die also ran away in a panic."
"I was just about to leave here and exit outside, when I heard a few more screams, and a low, roaring beast, and the sound of teeth chewing and swallowing food."
"Listening to the roar of this beast, I was so scared that I peed my pants, and I ran outside, and Chen Gang happened to run outside, and the two of us collided together, so we rescued each other and ran out, and he ran out alive from the mouth of the monster."
After recounting these situations, Li Wei's body couldn't help but tremble, and it seemed that what happened at that time should have frightened him.
At this time, the man named Chen Gang suddenly said, "Yes, that monster is a huge beetle, I saw it when I was chased by a black beetle, this huge beetle is as tall as a three-story building, and the underground space is not very bright."
"I feel that it is black in color, and the body is very huge, the exposed fangs are more than three meters long, and looking at the fangs of the giant worm like knives, it should be very sharp."
"When we were running around, five of me ran in front of this giant worm, and it came out of a huge open space in the middle of the burial chamber, and there was a huge deep hole in the ground, and it crawled out of the hole, and except for me, who escaped alive, all those who died were cut open and eaten by it, and all the bones were gone."
"This giant insect looks very similar to those small insects in the tomb, I am afraid it should be the king of these beetles, but why it can grow so huge, no one can know, and I later guessed that this giant insect is probably the tomb keeper of this tomb."
I thought about what the two of them said, and thought to myself, "Why did this big beetle grow so big, isn't there something in this dungeon that caused the appearance of this giant beetle?"
"It can't be that it's huge enough to be guarded by the people of this ancient tomb, I don't believe anyone can control and drive such a large beetle"
At this time, Uncle Wang said, "Xiao Linzi, how much have you learned the skills of your family, how much have you practiced the ability to find the dragon and see the feng shui, and then use your blood demon pupil technique to look at the mountains and the earth, and see if the direction of the dragon vein can be done?" ”
"As the coffin mountain Taibao of the Feng family, you must not weaken the prestige and momentum of your Feng family, let's rest for another day, let's go to the tomb tomorrow night, and the organs in the tomb will depend on your means at that time."
"That's it for today, lone wolf, you get in the car and rest, let's go into the mountain tomorrow, after the meeting, everyone will find a place to rest."
After seven o'clock in the evening of the next day, a few of us drove to the mountain behind Pangliu Village, Dazhao Township.
I stood on the side of the road, using the qi in my body to directly open the blood demon pupil technique, and the three red dots around the blood line in my eyes began to move rhythmically, and a faint red glow came out of my eyes!
I raised my eyes and glanced around, and saw colorful colored gases floating in one direction, faintly forming a vein!
What are these things that I see in my heart? Is it the direction of the aura under the leylines? Is this the dragon vein? I found that there were a lot of thick five-colored aura, all of which converged into the mountain along the veins.
I stretched out my hand and pointed to the mountain and said, Uncle Wang, "I have seen a lot of colorful aura with my demon pupil, and the direction of the aura convergence is there, this is a treasure land of feng shui, I will go to the location and let's dig a hole in the ground."
Uncle Wang said, "Leizi, you and the lone wolf and Li Wei, you take the tools, take the Luoyang shovel down and prepare to start digging, bring all the equipment you want to use, and bring all the supplies, don't leave anything behind, because all the things you bring can be used."
I also carried my Yin-Yang Spirit Sword on my back, put seven colored paper figures in the pocket of my tactical vest, and carried a handful of yellow rune paper in my pocket, and then I drove the car to a nearby ravine to find a place to hide.
We walked to a big tree under this mountain, everyone stopped, I pointed to this tree and said, "I see in my eyes that this tree is a source of gathering earth qi, that is to say, this should be the entrance to the underground palace, let's not take the thief hole that Li Wei and the others came into, and make a new one from here."
I pointed to a place and said, "Leizi starts digging from here, our thief hole doesn't need to be too big, so as not to be time-consuming and laborious and easy to attract the attention of nearby villagers."
Then Lei Zi, Lone Wolf, Li Wei and several people took the Luoyang shovel in their hands and began to dig up quickly, Chen Gang transported the soil that was turned up, these people took turns to dig holes and finally dug down more than ten meters deep after two hours, and a square thief hole was dug through.
Li Wei and Chen Gang were the ones who had done tomb robbery, and there was not much excavated soil around the robbery hole, so it turned out that these two dug another pit in the middle of the hole in the process of digging the hole, and backfilled the excavated soil on the spot.
After this work was done, there was not much soil on the ground, and I could already see the steps underground through the layers of darkness when I looked through the holes dug through the holes.
How can there be stairs down here? I thought to myself, "Isn't this the entrance to the tomb?" Do you have to go down the stairs to get to the entrance of the tomb? ”
I turned back to Uncle Wang and said, "There seems to be a stone staircase below, my eyes saw the stairs through the ground, and this staircase is probably the one leading to the entrance of the underground palace."
I looked at Uncle Wang and said, "After all, this is the first time that I have relied on our family's blood demon pupil technique to determine the entrance to the tomb, and I don't know if it's the right thing to do, can you help me see how it is?" ”
Uncle Wang looked at me with a smile and said, "Xiaolin, you are doing a good job, this is indeed the entrance to the underground palace, let's bring the equipment and prepare to go down, tie the rope to the tree, the air below is definitely not good, it is easy to be poisoned if you go down now, ventilate this thief hole, and then let's climb down the rope one by one." ”
Uncle Wang continued, "Let's assign the position now, who will open the way in front of the next road, and who will walk last, if there is an emergency, the people behind should have a response, because I don't know how many hidden weapons are in the tomb, and a clear division of labor can ensure the survival of myself and my companions." ”
