"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Just as I was talking to Sister Hong, I clearly heard two footsteps coming from behind, which was obviously the sound of someone stepping on wet steps to the shore!

I quickly pricked up my ears and listened again, but the footsteps suddenly disappeared as if none of this had happened.

I asked Sister Hong, "Did you hear a sound of footsteps?" ”

Sister Hong and Uncle Mei's faces changed suddenly.

Uncle Mei said nervously: "No, what's the matter, Rong Sheng, did you hear the footsteps?" ”

Sister Hong hurriedly said: "Rong Sheng, don't scare Sister, how can there be footsteps?" Behind you? ”

Lao Wu glared at me suspiciously and scolded: "Little cub, don't pretend to be a ghost!" The black lights under this ground are already terrifying, and if you make any more tricks, you will be scared to death! ”

Neither of them heard anything.

I was the only one who heard the footsteps.

This made me wonder if I was hallucinating, when I was in the ancient Shu tomb in Tuojiang, I could often hear something that others couldn't hear, and I also doubted my auditory hallucinations at that time.

To be on the safe side, I still turned around and looked back at the thief hole, but the illumination range of the headlamp was limited, and it could only illuminate the distance of seven or eight meters in front of me.

In the darkness I could vaguely see the body of the grave robber Xiaoshuai still nailed to the wall, the light above his head flickering in the distance, and there was no other unusual sign of the dark robber's cave.

I shook my head and said, "Don't be nervous, maybe it's just me hallucinating." ”

Hearing me say this, Uncle Mei and Sister Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and Lao Wu anxiously pointed to the gap in the tomb wall, gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, since there is no way out, it is better to go out and break through!" Without further ado, let's go to the grave! ”

Sister Hong also agreed: "Let's go to the tomb, I hope to meet with the king's shopkeeper as soon as possible, they are overwhelming, and if we find them, we can have more hope of survival!" ”

I was at the forefront, and of course I was the first to drill holes.

Before leaving, I reminded them: "Pay attention to the liquid on the cracks in the wall, this thing is still a bit dangerous, don't get on yourself." ”

Lao Wu and Sister Hong each responded.

Uncle Mei suddenly grabbed me and said, "Rong Sheng, you wait, it's pitch black inside, I don't know what the hell there is, let me go first!" ”

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "Uncle, I'll go in first, and you will follow me." ”

Uncle Mei dragged me to death, and his big rough hands were like iron tongs.

He stepped ahead of me and said to me in a serious tone: "Uncle is old, don't be afraid of accidents!" You're different, you're young. I'm ahead, you follow me! In case I have a three-long and two-short...... You go find An An for me! ”

After saying this, Uncle Mei plunged into the gap and rushed to the mausoleum.

Seeing his resolute back, I only felt a heat in my chest.

My father was gone when I was very young, so I didn't know what it was like to have a father, and now looking at Uncle Mei's back, I suddenly understood what it means to be a father's love.

Soon, there was a "poof" sound on the other end of the gap, and I hurriedly asked, "Uncle, how is the situation?" ”

Uncle Mei's loud voice immediately came: "There is no danger, just jump in!" ”

I answered, and then jumped in, only to see that on the other side of the gap seemed to be a spacious burial chamber, which was indeed very safe without traps.

After I landed, Sister Hong also turned over.

She landed on her feet unsteady and fell headfirst into my arms.

I took advantage of the situation to hug her plump body, hold her steady, and then helped the lame old Wu come in over the wall.

When all four of us were in the tomb, I looked around by the light of my headlamp.

I saw that in front of me was a tomb with similar specifications to the ancient Shu tomb in Tuojiang, the whole space was spacious and generous, but there was no sarcophagus in the center of the tomb to collect the remains, but instead there were all kinds of bronzes.

It appears to be an exhibition hall dedicated to bronzes.

I walked towards the tallest bronze in the center, and I saw a lifelike bronze figure.

The shape of the characters is very similar to the bronze figures seen in the ancient Shu tomb of Tuojiang, and they are also longitudinal and square-faced, with both ears to attract the wind.

But slightly different from the bronze figure in the ancient Shu tomb in Tuojiang, the figure in this bronze statue is not sitting on a pedestal, nor is he standing on the ground with his feet, his body has turned from the waist down into a thick and straight tree trunk, and countless lush and fine branches have grown.

The upper body of this bronze figure is a human and the lower body is a tree, forming a strange combination of half human and half tree, which inexplicably gives people a creepy feeling.

Just as I was squinting my eyes and looking at the strange bronze figure in front of me, Lao Wu's excited voice suddenly came from my ears:

"Look at these bronzes! How much is it worth? It's not Lao Tzu's bragging, just move out a set of bronzes with all the beards and tails, it's enough for Lao Tzu to eat and drink spicy food for the rest of his life! ”

While speaking, Lao Wu stretched out his hand to touch a delicately shaped bronze lampstand, and seeing him so frizzy, I hurriedly said loudly: "Stop!" ”

It's a pity that it was too late, Lao Wu's dirty paw had already touched the bronze, and at the moment of contact, the originally beautiful bronze lampstand fell apart in an instant, and with a heart-wrenching cracking sound, it shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

Lao Wu was stupid, and looked at the baby in front of him dumbfounded.

Sister Hong was also sorry, stomped her feet and said, "Old Wu, look at the good things you have done!" ”

Lao Wu hugged his head in annoyance and said, "Why is this bronze so unstrong?" I touch it and it breaks? ”

I hurriedly explained: "This ancient tomb was originally a water cave, and the bronzes inside were sealed in the water environment for more than 4,000 years, but now the water in the ancient tomb has been suddenly emptied, and the bronzes have lost the support of buoyancy, and they have been exposed to the air and oxidized, and they will naturally become very fragile and will shatter if they are touched slightly." ”

Lao Wu suddenly realized, patted his head and said: "I said that the king's shopkeeper came down in advance, why didn't they move the bronzes in this tomb, it turned out to be this reason." ”

Sister Hong looked at me with admiration and said, "Rong Sheng, I didn't expect you to know a lot, and you even know this." ”

I said in my heart that this knowledge was actually in the last ancient tomb, Xiaolingwei Jiang Yongguang told me.

Of course, you can't tell Sister Hong about this.

At this time, Lao Wu looked at the other complete and exquisite bronzes in the tomb greedily, and frowned: "Then these good treasures can only be seen, can't you take them?" It's really not good, if you break them and take them out, you can sell them for some money, right? ”

Hearing this, I only felt a wave of disgust.

No wonder Jiang Yongguang hated tomb robbers, these greedy guys only had money in their eyes, and in order to make money, they would not hesitate to destroy national treasures.

Seeing that he was about to walk towards another bronze artifact, I hurriedly said to stop him: "Old Wu, haven't you ever thought about why the shopkeeper Wang passed by this tomb and didn't take anything?" ”

When Lao Wu heard this, he really stopped, turned around and asked me, "Why?" ”
