Go back 10 years......

After the four big men who trespassed on the border of the Central Plains to chase and kill the baby left Lingshan, they were not in a hurry to return to the West Wind Tribe to recover their lives, they would turn back at any time to find the baby, if the baby was not removed, it would definitely become a great trouble for the clan in the future.

The patriarch was still indignant in his heart, and secretly scolded from time to time: "Damn, although this bad old man also has some skills, if the four of us join forces, won't I be able to fight him?" The most hateful thing is that the baby let him rob it, if he goes back like this, let Tuoba Hu Xian and Elder Zephyr know about it, he will have to kill the four of us......"

The patriarch squinted at the three entourage, all of them were stunned, feeling that the three of them were loyal to him, but at the critical moment, no one could guarantee that the three of them would shake this matter out.

The four big men wandered around the junction of the West Wind Tribe region and the Central Plains, saw countless beautiful scenery, got tired of eating roast fat sheep and other delicacies, and visited all the kilns.

The patriarch decided to go to Lingshan to look for the baby again, he was worried that the longer things dragged on, the more variables would be, even if he fought with the old man, he would have to get the baby, so they rode their horses and whips to Lingshan.

When he was about to reach the pass of Donglang Mountain, suddenly a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and the black clouds pressed over, and the raindrops like beans poured down.

From a distance, they saw a wooden house on the pass, and the four of them drove their horses up and entered the wooden house, where a little boy was sitting on the edge of the fire pit on the east side of the wooden house.

Xiao Er wore a purple round hat and a yellow rag on his shoulder, and the rag emitted a foul smell, he smiled innocently and asked head-on: "Four guest officers, welcome to this station, what kind of antiques are you going to pour today?" ”

A big man shouted: "Don't be verbose, let's get something to eat." ”

Xiao Er nodded and said a few words, and served a pot of rice wine and a few plates of broad beans to the four big men.

The four big men sat down to drink and chat, the patriarch was a little anxious, and from time to time he looked out the window, and the raindrops "crackled" on the edge of the window.

The other three men laughed out loud when they talked about visiting the kiln and playing with prostitutes, so they couldn't indulge in it......

While talking and laughing, three young men broke in, one of them carrying a black cloth package, and the package hit the ground with a "clang" sound.

Hantou Xiaoer took the initiative to greet him, and said innocently: "Yo, the three guest officers, are they all here?" ”

A man laughed and said, "Do you want to get rich? He took out a wine lord in the package and threw it to Xiao Er, saying, "Don't look for it, just come up with delicious food." ”

The little second man carefully stroked the wine lord, like a treasure, he served a pot of warm wine and a plate of fat sheep to the table of the three men. The three men ate and drank, talking and laughing, completely ignoring the four big men.

The four big men saw that the three men were dressed very plainly, the coarse cloth clothes were covered with dust, and the clothes on one man's shoulders were patched, like people who were farming in the countryside, why was the little boy so enthusiastic about them.

A big man wanted to draw the long sword at his waist to provoke them, but the patriarch immediately stopped him, signaling to wait and see what happened first, and not to act rashly for the time being.

The three men were drunk, and their words were presumptuous, and the man with patched clothes smiled and said: "The entrance of the cave has been sealed by me, and next time we will dig a better treasure along the hole, have you ever heard of the golden jade clothes?" ”

The two men were listening attentively, and the man continued: "The golden jade clothes are said to have appeared in the Xia and Shang periods, when handmade products were very developed, and the nobles of the imperial palace used gold threads and jade pieces smaller than a hair to weave clothes, I heard that the workmanship is exquisite, and not ordinary craftsmen can complete the ......."

At this point, the man smiled mysteriously and continued: "Zhang Tianshi of the Han Dynasty cast a spell on several jade clothes of the royal family and turned them into burial goods, and the emperor and queen wore them after death to keep the body from decaying, and I heard that one of the jade clothes is in the ancient tomb, if you can get a jade dress in the ancient tomb, you can order the Three Realms, and play with it in the palm of your hand......"

The other two men exclaimed, "Is that so? Why didn't you mention it when you brought us into the ancient tomb? ”

The man sighed: "Hundreds of years have passed, no one has ever found the jade clothes, the ancient tomb is bottomless, the closer you get to the coffin, the more many mechanisms, only you and I are far from enough, I am afraid that before you get close to the coffin, you have already died under the arrows or poison!" ”

The patriarch snorted and said in his heart: "I thought there was something big, it turned out to be a few tomb robbers." ”

After a moment, the patriarch thought again: "Is there really a golden jade robe?" Ten years ago, when Elder Zephyr proposed to Tuoba Hu Xian to attack the Central Plains, he mentioned the matter of the golden jade clothes, if he could get this clothes, would he be afraid of Tuoba Hu Xian......

The patriarch stood up with a "whoosh", pulled out the long sword at his waist and ran over, the long sword rested on the neck of the man who spoke, and shouted: "A few little tomb robbers are so arrogant in broad daylight, say quickly, where are you robbing the tomb, don't say that I killed you." ”

Three big men also ran over, holding long swords, standing proudly around the other two men.

The man said, "Who are you who dare to go to my Central Plains to spread wild?" ”

In anger, the patriarch stabbed the man twice in the calf and said, "It's more than enough to deal with a thief like you, be careful that I cut you alive." ”

The man let out a scream, his face turned pale, and pleaded: "Good man, don't be angry, there is something to say......"

I saw blood flowing down the wound like silk threads.

The patriarch asked, "Tell me quickly, where is the tomb robbed?" Otherwise, your life will be at risk. ”

The man trembled his voice and said: "In the ancient tomb of the south gate, after walking thirty miles southeast along the ancient road in front of the door, I saw a pool of blue lake, called Bibo Lake, there is a stone gate by the lake, the word south gate is engraved on the top of the stone gate, and then go forward five miles through the stone gate, and see a huge mound of earth is the ancient tomb of the south gate. ”

The patriarch continued to ask, "How do you get into the ancient tomb?" The sharp blade was already pressed against the man's neck, and soon blood was about to be seen again.

The man begged, "Don't kill me, good man, I said, sixty-six steps to the southeast of the ancient tomb, there is a large haystack, and there is a thief hole under the haystack, and you can enter by opening the haystack." ”

The patriarch, fearing that what the man had said was untrue, stabbed him in the shin and shouted, "Why sixty-six steps and not seventy?" ”

The man's whole body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "We tomb robbers pay attention to an auspicious number, we don't want to be empty-handed, there are many robbery holes nearby, you had better use a compass to guide the way......" He touched his chest.

The patriarch found a compass in the man's chest pocket, he clenched the long sword, and pressed it down sharply on the man's neck, the sword cut deep into the man's neck, and the man was killed with a sword, and the other two men were also stabbed to death by the three big men's sharp swords.

The patriarch looked through the three men's packages, which were full of bronze objects, some of which were still stained with dirt.

The patriarch motioned to another big man to close the shopkeeper, and when they looked around, the little boy was gone.

The heavy rain gradually stopped, and a rainbow crossed the pass, which was very beautiful.

Just as he was leaving, a big man set fire to the post station at the behest of the patriarch.

Four men mounted their horses, one of whom still had the large package of bronze on his shoulder, and they rode their horses to the southeast, the post station behind them blazing with fire.

The four big men came to a nearby town, exchanged a few hoes and shovels with bronzes, bought some candles, and arrived at the tomb at the south gate in the evening.

Bibo Lake reflects the slanting sun, a wisp of breeze blows over, the lake surface is microwaved, the ancient city wall in the northeast direction of Bibo Lake looms, the dead grass on the broken wall is submerged, and a group of geese fly slowly from north to south.

The patriarch looked at the sky and said, "It's getting dark, find the entrance as soon as possible." ”

One of the big men said: "If you enter the ancient tomb at night, will it stir up evil spirits?" ”

The patriarch shouted: "You and I have a charm to protect ourselves, even if they encounter evil ghosts, they have to take a detour." He snorted, and rode forward, and the three big men followed.

In front of me stood a large and majestic mound of earth, on which there were no lush trees, only a few weeds.

The patriarch looked at it with great interest, and secretly calculated in his heart that they had followed the man's instructions and had indeed found the thief hole, which was buried by the loose soil, and the four of them dug open the loose soil, revealing a bottomless hole.

The sky had darkened, and two bright stars shone brightly in the western sky.

The patriarch brought a large stone and threw it at the bottom of the cave, and after a long time, the sound of the stone falling to the ground came from the bottom of the deep cave.

The patriarch showed a wicked smile, he looked at the three big men and asked, "Which of you goes down first?" ”

The three big men muttered in their hearts, and they all secretly asked themselves: "You provoked this matter, who do you want to call down if you don't go down first?" ”

The patriarch saw that the three big men were silent, and scolded angrily in his heart: "Damn, they all compete when there is a benefit, but they all cower when they encounter trouble......"

The patriarch let out a "whoop" and ordered one of the big men to go down to the cave first, and the big man went down to the cave with his limbs on all fours supporting the two walls of the deep pit.

A stick of incense passed, the hole is still bottomless, the surrounding has been so dark that you can't see the five fingers, the more you go down the hole, the more cold it is, what kind of world is the ghost underneath to know, he is afraid in his heart, sweating profusely, his hands and feet are sore, and he suddenly heard an exclamation of "ah", and he fell to the bottom of the cave.

There was a muffled "bang" and rushed to the entrance of the cave, and the big man fell to the bottom of the cave, and then he heard a few more "clicks", and he said in horror: "It's over, the bones in my body are broken." He lay at the bottom of the cave and didn't dare to move, looking at the big hole at the mouth of the bowl, the patriarch and the three of them were gone, and he was terrified to the extreme.

It turned out that outside the cave, the patriarch and the three of them heard a burst of shouts and killings and the sound of a scuffle of blades from the side of the ancient city wall, and the three of them climbed to the top of the big earthen bag to find out.

I saw that the wolf smoke was rising on an open field not far from the ancient city wall, there were two teams of men and horses were fighting each other, the scene was extremely bloody and tragic, the team wearing the Central Plains costume was more numerous, about a thousand people, but it seemed to be losing and retreating.

Another team of men and horses dressed strangely and redundantly, the number of about five or six hundred, but the battle Xiao Yong, step by step forced back the Central Plains soldiers, the leader of the leader wore crane age feathers, held an eagle head long axe, the leader of the Central Plains soldiers under the horse, the rest of the remnants of the army fled, the leader drove the horse forward, ten meters away to cut more than 100 heads.

The defeated men and horses threw away their armor and rushed straight to the ancient tomb of the South Gate, where a large white horse was mixed in the crowd, and this white horse was the mount of the leader of the Central Plains soldiers.

The patriarch and the three of them were afraid of alarming those soldiers, so they slowly retreated from the ancient tomb, and when they reached the entrance of the cave, they saw the white horse galloping violently, and when they were about to collide with the three of them, the white horse turned around and burrowed into the ancient tomb beautifully.

The patriarch was taken aback, and said in his heart: "Could it be that there is a mechanism in the ancient tomb?" He went to the place where the white horse disappeared to find out, but saw that the ancient tomb was tightly sealed with earth, and there was not a trace of a gap. He was shocked and said, "Go in and chase the white horse, the treasure must be here." ”

The man at the bottom of the cave lay on the spot for a while, his whole body aching greatly less, he tried to get up, but when he held his hands on the ground, he grabbed a round thing with his right hand, and when he picked it up and stroked it, it vaguely felt like a dead man's bones.

The man was startled, hurriedly shook off his hand, and crawled to his feet, and when he looked up, he vaguely saw several people coming down from the mouth of the cave, and the fear and tension in his heart relaxed a little.

The three of them went down to the bottom of the cave and lit candles, which illuminated the walls.

The four walls are in a square shape, which can accommodate more than ten people, and there is a simple straw mat bed for tomb robbers to rest in the northeast corner, but I saw that there were several white bones where the man landed, and most of the white bones had turned into slag.

The man's buttocks were pierced into the flesh by a white bone, the blood stained the white bone, the wound was not deep, but there was a faint pain, by the candlelight he gritted his teeth and pulled out the white bone, took out the gold sore medicine from his pocket and put it on it.

When the patriarch looked around, he saw that there were "dog holes" all around, and he couldn't pay attention to it, so he took out the compass in his arms, and the needle of the compass swayed.

Suddenly, the big white horse came out of nowhere, and in an instant the big white horse crashed into a mud wall and disappeared.

The patriarch exclaimed, "Dig in from here, quickly." ”

The four men picked up shovels and hoes and dug along the wall where the white horse had disappeared, and a large pit had been dug out by a stick of incense.

After half a burnt of incense, I heard a spark popping out of the tip of the hoe, and by the candlelight, I found that the bottom of the cave was extremely hard, but when I looked closely, it was a huge granite blocking the way.

The patriarch drew the dagger from the calf and picked out the outline of the granite, which was square in shape and showed signs of being artificially carved.

The four of them worked together to slowly take out the granite, and a bottomless tomb was revealed as the granite was removed.

The patriarch's right hand reached into the dark tomb passage, only to feel that the tomb passage was piercing, like another world. He immediately withdrew his hand, secretly excited in his heart, but there was an inexplicable sense of fear.

The four big men each held a candle and entered the tomb one after the other, the tomb was extremely dark and quiet, the candlelight could only shine on the face of each of them, and they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, and the footsteps and breathing of the four people echoed in the tomb.

Suddenly, the big man who walked in front screamed, he stood still and didn't dare to move, because of the pain in his feet, his face kept twitching, and the ankle of his calf was bitten by something, and the more he tried to struggle, the more intense the pain became. He cried out in horror, "My feet, my feet are broken." ”

When the patriarch stepped forward to check, he saw that it was a large iron cat clamping his calf tightly, and the rusty sawtooth had sunk into the flesh, and blood was pouring out of the sawtooth.

The patriarch thought in his heart, if there is really a mechanism in the tomb, we don't have any experience in robbing the tomb, so recklessly entering the ancient tomb, I don't know what kind of mystery there is in the ancient tomb, I really shouldn't have ended the man's life early, he sighed lightly, and said: "The matter has come to this point, and we can only break through." ”

By the time the big iron cat took it off the big man's feet, the big man was already in pain and couldn't move his steps, and the patriarch ordered another big man to carry him forward.

The patriarch advised: "There is an iron cat underground, don't lift your feet, wipe the soles of your feet on the ground, and kick the iron cat away." ”

The sound of clanging underground was endless, and the iron cat bounced towards both sides of the tomb, and the patriarch's trick really worked.

After walking for several miles, seeing the faint light reflected on the ground in front of them, the four big men raised their vigilance and did not dare to move forward rashly, but when they looked carefully, there was a pool of stagnant water lying in the tomb passage, and the stagnant water was surprisingly quiet and bottomless.

When the patriarch stretched out his finger to touch the stagnant water, his skin was burned by the stagnant water, and the wound festered along the surroundings. ”

When the other three big men heard that it was sour water, they all took a step back, not daring to approach, and suddenly five rats rushed from the mouth of the cave with a chirping and rushing to the light, and they rolled into the stagnant water, and in a moment, their bodies were dissolved, and even their bones could not be found.

The patriarch's heart trembled, and a sense of fear abruptly arose, he wanted to stop there, planning to withdraw from the ancient tomb to find the baby and return to his life, but he was unwilling, if he could really get the golden jade clothes, what was this risk? The immediate issue is how to wade through this stagnant water safely.

Just when the four of them were at a loss, a loud noise was suddenly heard from the depths of the deep underground palace, and the tomb road shook left and right, and the pool of stagnant water overflowed along the tomb road.

Four big men dodged to the left and right in terror, and one big man begged the patriarch to leave quickly, so as not to alarm the ghosts of the underground and cause trouble.

The patriarch pretended to be calm and shouted: "How can I, the West Wind Clan, have such a greedy and fearful of death as you, if you disturb our minds again, you will be killed." ”

After a while, a door in the deep underground palace was opened, and the shaking in the tomb gradually stopped, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.

Then the water level of the stagnant water slowly dropped, and after waiting for half a stick of incense, several large stone piers in the stagnant water were revealed.

The four big men were very surprised, and quickly stepped on the stone pier and crossed the backwater pool. Another walk along the deep graveyard was carried out.

But the patriarch thought a little more in his heart, if this sour water rose again when he came back, wouldn't he be trapped here? Just as he was still thinking about this, the way ahead was blocked by a stone gate.

The patriarch looked at the candlelight to carefully check whether there were any other secret passages in the stone gate, which was as thick as a city wall, standing still in front of it.

In the center of the stone gate is carved the heads of a man and a woman, the face is extremely hideous and weird, the patriarch patted the face of the man on the stone gate with his hand, and said angrily: "What a fucking bad luck, what a messy tomb, this tomb in the Central Plains is so complicated." ”

Suddenly, the man's eyes on the stele shot out two green lights, and loose soil fell above his head, and then a thousand catties of boulder fell from above, the patriarch reacted quickly and rolled forward, and the big stone fell behind the patriarch with a "bang", and the entire tomb was shaken.

The patriarch was shocked into a cold sweat, and thought in his heart, the four of them definitely couldn't move this bulky stone gate, there might be a mechanism, and then he carefully checked the pair of men and women on the stone gate, and found that the tip of the woman's nose was inlaid with a thumb-sized white marble.

The white marble was white and translucent under the candlelight, and the patriarch was surprised and delighted, and said in his heart: "This white marble is much better than the bronze artifact, why don't you get it first?" But is it the mechanism that opens the stone door when it is placed on the tip of this woman's nose? ”
