Volume 1 Chapter 4: The Great Greed of the Ming Dynasty
I patted Dawu's hand lightly, indicating that I would not make a sound, and Dawu let go of the hand covering my mouth.
The monster hung upside down in front of us, its eyes rolling wildly, as if it couldn't see us.
Dawu and I took a few steps back and pointed to the second brother in the middle of the tomb.
"Third Master Qiu, let's go around from the side, there are not many bullets in my hand, we can only run when we fight."
"Well, what about the other brothers?"
"Except for Baisha, everyone else is dead.... But just now while walking, the white sand suddenly disappeared. ”
I feel sad, there were several people when I came, and now only me and Dawu and the guy named Baisha are left.
Dawu and I paced softly around the monster hanging upside down in the doorway, and quietly walked towards the second brother and them.
I felt very strange, how did Dawu know that this monster would not attack us if he didn't make a sound, but the second brother and their voice was not small, and at first this monster was still above their heads, and it didn't move.
With questions, Dawu and I walked to the second brother's side.
"Second brother...."
After five years, I finally met my second brother up close again, in the past five years in prison, he has never come to see me, saying that he is resentful, of course, it is a little.
The second brother turned his head suddenly, and was extremely surprised to find that he was in front of him, and his face immediately became solemn.
"Akiko, why are you here?"
I pointed to Dawu behind him and smiled bitterly: "As soon as I was released from prison, your brother sent someone to tie me up, and when I woke up, I was already at the door of the ancient tomb." ”
The second brother turned his head to look at Dawu, and suddenly said angrily: "Dawu, didn't I say not to take my brother to fight, I didn't let you pick him up to bring him to this kind of place!" ”
Dawu's face was full of guilt, and he was a little aggrieved: "Second master, you didn't come up at the specified time, I went down to look for you, and I didn't see you, I only saw the marks you left..... The mark can only be understood by the brothers of the Zhang family inside the door, and the brothers of the Zhang family who stayed outside were detained by the police some time ago, and you didn't bring a guy with you this time, I am worried that something will happen to you in the second master, so I can only take the third master of Qiu down....."
"What the could happen to me.... Alas, forget it, what about the other guys, why are you and Akiko alone? ”
"When I came, I met an evil thing, and the bullets couldn't penetrate it, and the guy was all gone.... It's just me and Third Master Qiu. ”
I wondered why the hell was still talking, and quickly interrupted: "Second brother, I just came in and you hung something on the top of your head that I don't know what it is, and now it's on the side of the tomb gate..."
I pointed to the tomb door, but the monster that was hanging there disappeared again, and I realized something, and when I looked up, I saw that it was hanging above our heads!
"it!"
The second brother scolded, pulled me up and retreated, the thing was no longer forbidden to move, it moved quickly on the top of the tomb, I and the second brother and a few guys around him were panicked, holding a flashlight at the top of the tomb.
With a scream, a fellow's flashlight fell to the ground.
"Second master, save me!"
We flashed our flashlights in that direction and saw that the guy had been pierced by the thing's tail.
Dawu took out the gun on his back and shot directly in that direction, and the monster used its tail to lift the guy who was pierced through the body and blocked the bullet.
The guy was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
Dawu scolded a sentence, and my second brother immediately said to Master Cao on the side: "Master Cao, go quickly, this armor corpse is fucking fine, it's so big, the bullet can't hit it at all.... Dawu, explosives explode! ”
I finally learned that this strange thing is called a corpse.
In the future career of fighting with the second brother, almost every murderous tomb of the evil sect can encounter large and small armor corpses, but the armor corpse I encountered this time is the largest one I have ever seen.
The second brother dragged me and ran towards the other tomb gate, while Dawu put away his gun and took out an explosive from his backpack.
I can't help but be shocked, this tomb robber actually brought such a lethal explosive, if this is heard by people outside, can the police not be called to arrest us?
Soon, my second brother and I, Master Cao, and the remaining two guys ran into the tomb, and Dawu followed.
With a loud bang, the whole burial chamber shook, and my ears were almost deaf and my brain was buzzing.
The second brother patted the dust on his body and scolded: "This tomb is evil, it's just dirty, this tomb is not a tomb of emperors and generals, how can there be so many tomb-guarding things in it?" ”
Master Cao is a little older, and he doesn't seem to have recovered from the explosion, and his eyes are a little dull.
Dawu took a flashlight at the tomb just now, and found that the armored corpse had turned into a puddle of minced meat.
Dawu said: "Second Master, there were a total of ten people when you came down, why are there only two brothers and Master Cao left now?" ”
The second brother's face was solemn, and he said after a while: "The structure of this tomb is a bit strange, not like the structure of the underground palace tomb, but it has two layers. At first, when we were on the first floor, we didn't find anything strange, so we went to the main room normally, touched things and prepared to go out.... On the way back, I saw a hole on the ground of the cemetery, and after going down the hole, I met the ghost thing you said, according to Master Cao, it was the tomb beast. ”
After a pause, the second brother continued: "Because I didn't bring the guy down, naturally I wasn't the opponent of that ghost, and a few guys were all left, so we ran to the depths of the tomb." Thinking about waiting for the town tomb beast to leave, we will go up from the original cave entrance, but the dog thing has been wandering near the cave entrance, no way, I discussed with Master Cao to go inside, to see if there are other exits, but this search is only three days, but no new exit can be found. ”
After speaking, the second brother turned his eyes to me again: "Qiuzi, I haven't seen you for five years, I didn't expect our brothers to meet under the tomb.... Alas, you kid has never fought since he was a child, even you didn't go down on the day of our grandfather's accident, otherwise you would have been shot like our father at this time. ”
With resentment, I replied, "You haven't seen me once in the five years I've been in prison." ”
"Alas, I'm going out to explain this to you, the top priority is to find a way to leave this tomb first, it's too evil!"
At this time, Master Cao also relieved himself, took a sip of water, and looked me up and down.
"This is the third master of Qiu.... The second master often mentions you to me. ”
I wasn't interested in this oily Master Cao, so I didn't answer his words. At the same time, the place where my arm had just rubbed against the little white worms on the tomb wall felt hot and itchy.
I lifted my arm and looked at it, and I was startled, and my whole arm turned red and purple.
When the second brother saw my arm, he immediately said, "If you don't deal with this arm quickly, it won't be long before it will be scrapped....."
As he spoke, the second brother took out a thumb-sized bottle from his pocket and sprinkled some of the medicinal powder inside on my arm, "Qiuzi, you touched the corpse moth on the tomb wall outside, that thing is poisonous, if you want to fight again in the future, remember to wear long sleeves, don't be stupid and wear short sleeves." ”
I cursed in my heart, this is not because of someone kidnapping me, otherwise I could have come to this hellish place?
But because there are still two brothers' subordinates, I naturally won't scold him like this, just nod.
We stopped in this tomb for a while, and the second brother asked Master Cao: "Master Cao, the coffin was also blown up by Dawu with explosives just now, and nothing popped out of it. ”
"It's strange, eighty percent of the things recorded on the ancient book I read are true, how can there be nothing in the coffin?" Master Cao was a little strange, lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Soon, Master Cao patted his head and said, "Second Master, when we touched the artifact on the upper floor, we went to a main burial chamber, and the other ear chambers and tomb passages are all in a unified style..... But when we reached the second floor, the layout of the whole tomb changed greatly, and it was very different from before. In addition, there are very few ordinary tombs with two floors, and there is such a high separation in between, so I suspect that this floor and the second floor are two tombs at all, so the style is completely different. ”
From ancient times to the present, it has never been said that the two tombs were selected together, and the ancients valued feng shui the most, which is a big taboo.
Even I, a layman, know something, but Master Cao said that these are two tombs in the same position, isn't this funny?
Sure enough, the second brother immediately said "".
"Master Cao, are you old and confused? How can any fool build a tomb on someone else's tomb, isn't this self-inflicted? ”
Master Cao shook his head and said: "It is true that no one will choose the tomb and other people's tombs in one location, the ancients paid attention to the saying of feng shui, and the location of the tomb was carefully selected, so they would naturally choose a feng shui treasure that is conducive to the development of their descendants.... However, there was a class of people in ancient times who would not have descendants and would not care about any feng shui at all. ”
I reacted immediately, could it be a eunuch?
The so-called eunuchs are actually eunuchs who have no male roots.
But I soon realized the problem, I was a liberal arts student in high school, probably because of the genes of the Zhang family, so I was very interested in history, so I read history books.
I said, "Master Cao, you're talking about eunuchs, right?" Although it is true that the eunuchs had no descendants, it is impossible for them to be buried in a tomb of this magnitude. ”
"Why?"
"Eunuchs are not allowed to die in the palace, and when they are old, the emperor will let them return to their hometowns, and basically most of the eunuchs are not enough to support them to build a tomb of this scale.... Moreover, a tomb of this level is already half the size of a prince's tomb, and the ancient emperor would never allow a eunuch to have such a vast momentum. ”
After listening to my opinion, Master Cao couldn't help but show an approving gaze, and he said to the second brother: "Second master, the knowledge of the third master of Qiu is much more profound than that of you, a rough man who doesn't know a few big words, you want me to see it, and in the future, I will also bring the third master of Qiu, you can take care of the feng shui and secret art organs, let the third master of Qiu learn more ancient books about the tomb with me, and the third master of Qiu can also help you when I am not there in the future." ”
After speaking, Master Cao smiled at me again and said, "Third Master Qiu, what you said is right, ordinary eunuchs do not have the ability to build a tomb the size of a prince, but you ignore one point, what if it is a traitor like Wei Zhongxian, a giant in the Ming Dynasty?" ”
