Chapter 339: The Late Ming Dynasty and the Ming Burial
Xiongba looked at the broken wrist on the table, such determination and ruthlessness are terrifying, it is not difficult for people to be ruthless to others, but it is difficult to be ruthless to themselves, the so-called strong man broke his wrist, that is a great pain.
"In order to deal with me, you do not hesitate to use this means, and you want to die with me."
The dwarf had stopped his blood, and he sighed: "The means don't care about the low or the low, as long as it works, looking at your expression, I know that this one has a high chance of winning me." ”
Xiongba looked at all this in a daze, his eyes were shaken, his hands were trembling, as long as he stabbed down, he would lose most of his martial arts, would he do this.
"If I cut off this hand, you'll cut off the other right away, I'm right."
The dwarf sneered, "You want to find a reason for yourself, and this is a reason. ”
Xiongba ignored his sarcasm and said, "Okay, you won this one." ”
The unparalleled tyrant in the world can cut off an ear for a woman, but he will never cut off one of his hands for a woman.
That's the trade-off for big people like them.
"Good, good." The dwarf glared at him viciously and said, "If you lose this one, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win me in the next one." ”
Xiongba said in a deep voice: "You draw the next line, I'll continue." ”
"Don't worry, the third game won't be a weird thing." The dwarf waved his hand and said, "The third scene, it's just to see if you can find her here." ”
"What do you mean?"
The dwarf said: "Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where, if you find her first, you take her away, if I find her first, you will come back in three years." ”
Xiongba pondered for a while, and said: "Only in this mountain, I don't know where, it turns out that you can't find her, she"
The dwarf said, "You're right, she poisoned my girls, and then took advantage of the chaos to hide." ”
"Hidden, how do you know if she didn't run out."
"She can't get out." The dwarf said: "You can find it, but if you can't find it, it's up to you." ”
The third game is to find out what Perrin is doing now.
Her bare body writhed like an eel on the dry and rough ground, and she gasped, "It seems that the air is getting less and less, and I am holding myself up to breathe not oxygen, but fire." ”
Fire, every breath like a stream of fire in her throat, dry and jerky, Perrin almost felt like she could drink a Pacific Ocean, she tried to pour herself some water and drink it, but to no avail.
That kind of suffocation and pain has soaked Boss Cao's back, he has always been good to himself, how could he ever think of suffering like this, he drooped his head and said: "No matter, if it goes on like this, we will die, it is better to rush out." ”
Perrin was startled and shouted: "Since you have come in, you can't go out, it doesn't matter if you are caught, in case you betray me, I can't take this risk." ”
"Then what do you say?"
"Wait, wait for death."
"Hey, it's funny, if we really die here, thousands of years later, will anyone think that we died in the same bed." Cao Yi put the dagger back into its sheath, threw it aside, and said, "Then wait." He believed that now that he and Perrin were grasshoppers on the same red rope, he believed that there was no need to fight.
As soon as he threw away his dagger, Perrin quickly picked it up, pulled out his scabbard and stabbed him in the chest.
Cao Yi was shocked, he barely dodged, and his chest was still cut wide, "You're crazy, I'm dead, you have to guard a corpse, have you ever thought about that kind of day." ”
Perrin pounced desperately and shouted, "I only know that if you die, the air consumption will be twice as slow, and I will live a little longer." ”
Cao Yi was surprised: "Just for such a little time, you have to kill someone." ”
"Even if it's for a second, I'm going to fight." Pei Lan said fiercely: "Besides, you have heard so many secrets from me, and you still want to get out alive." ”
Cao Yi dodged left and right, and was still scratched a few times, but the injury was not very serious, he kept saying: "After I die, my eyes will stare at you deadly, hey, have you ever been looked at like this in addition to being blind, you have experienced it." ”
Na Peilan's teeth are already fighting, if she can, she doesn't want to kill, but if necessary, she will not hesitate to kill the person she thinks should be killed, this is the first criterion for survival on the rivers and lakes.
The two quickly scuffled together, Cao Yi was strong after all, he grabbed Pei Lan's wrist again, and slammed his palm against the wall on one side, causing him to let go of his fingers and put down the dagger.
"Knock knock." With a loud sound, Na Peilan finally let go of the dagger, and she screamed in despair, no longer struggling.
"Calm down." Cao Yi said: "There is no endless road, we have come here, there must be a way to escape." ”
Perrin said with a dead heart: "Method, what way." ”
Cao Yi was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "I haven't expected it yet." ”
It's really a shame for him, and he can still laugh at this time.
Perrin said, "What are you laughing at." ”
Cao Yi smiled slowly, he smiled happily, and said in a deep voice: "I will let go of your wrist now and let you be free, but you have to promise that you will absolutely cooperate with me." ”
"If you want me not to kill you."
"It's not enough, I want you to escape with me."
"Get out."
Cao Yi said: "Yes, I have already thought of a way. ”
Perrin jerked up, then let go, and said, "You've figured out something." ”
Cao Yi stood up, stretched out his fist, and slammed into the wall that hit Pei Lan just now, only to hear the sound of "dong dong".
"Did you hear that?"
Perrin said: "Heard something. ”
Cao Yi shouted wildly: "Hey, haven't you really noticed, you listen, you listen again"
"Knock Knock"
It's still this voice, but Perrin suddenly thought of something, she jumped up all of a sudden, and said excitedly: "This is the sound of a hollow, this"
Cao Yi said: "You're right, this is hollow, that is, we have a chance to escape." ”
Pei Lan's eyes widened, she seemed to be nervous and speechless, and said, "Of course, this sound is empty behind the wall, but how can the wall be empty?" Is there anything else behind this? ”
Cao Yi didn't speak again, he picked up the dagger and dug it up desperately on that wall, Pei Lan stared blankly, his hands were shaking.
She looked at it, suddenly picked up the water jar in the corner of the wall and smashed it to the ground, then picked up a large tile, and began to desperately help Cao Yi dig up the soil on the wall.
Fortunately, this side is not a rock, it is soil that can be dug up, at this time, the air in the cave has been extremely thin, they have already extinguished the candle, in the dark of the fingers of the fingers desperately digging, gradually, Cao Yi has felt that his mind is stagnant, will only dig mechanically, he only knows, to survive, to keep digging, keep digging.
In the darkness, there was only the gasping sound of two people.
Finally, Cao Yi felt that his hand had burst into the air, as if he had broken through some barrier, he was slightly stunned, and then shouted: "I dug it, dug it out." ”
"Yes, it was dug up"
Pei Lan also felt it, she felt the cool breeze, the cool breeze measured by the shadows, like the wind from the deepest part of the earth, the biting cold, but it also lifted her spirits, and her brain cleared up a lot after the lack of oxygen.
"This, how can this wind be so cold, here, how can there be wind,."
If the hole that Perrin originally dug was already extremely deep, then it is unbelievable that there would be wind in the place behind this extreme depth.
"Isn't it the yin wind of the underworld, will we dig into hell?" Her teeth chattered and she murmured, "We"
When she was still at a loss, Cao Yi had already opened a hole that could pass people very quickly, and then drilled over, lit a candle, and looked at everything in front of him, he seemed to be stunned all of a sudden.
Everything in front of him was completely beyond his imagination, in Cao Yi's original consideration, he calculated that behind this wall, the most likely is a karst cave, after all, in the southeast hills, mountain caves are still very common, for example, the famous Longyou Grottoes is an example.
But behind the wall, there was not a cave at all, but a burial chamber.
This is a very simple burial chamber, but the layout is very generous, there are no common coffins, lanterns, etc., there is only a bluestone slab, and the owner of the tomb sits cross-legged on the stone slab.
I don't know how many years have passed, the corpse is still wearing what seems to be the costume of the Ming Dynasty, with a sharp sword and a letter in front of him, to be precise, it cannot be called a corpse, but a skeleton in clothes, Cao Yi tried to hold his breath, but he was afraid that he would destroy everything in it if he was not careful.
He was not familiar with the ancient tradition of tomb specifications, but he also knew that there would definitely be a coffin in the tomb, and now there was no coffin in this tomb, which was really strange, if the poor family could not afford to buy a coffin and only wrap the body in straw mats, why could they afford to build such a tomb.
"It's ,,。" At this time, Pei Lan finally came over, she looked good-looking, and at first she was as strange as Cao Yi, but then she suddenly thought of it and said, "Is this a Ming burial?" ”
"Ming burial,." Cao Yi had never heard of this method of burial.
Pei Lan explained: "Xiongba likes to collect all kinds of strange books, especially about martial arts classics, I once heard him mention, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Central Plains martial arts suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, countless people with lofty ideals went to the country, countless classics were lost, and finally the general trend is irretrievable, manpower is irretrievable, those Chinese men are unwilling to shave their hair and slaves, so they would either rather commit suicide with a sword, or return to the mountains and forests, and after death, they can't forgive themselves for the loss of the Han family, so they are buried naked, do not put the coffin, do not accompany the burial, and shall not rest for ever. ”
"Oh" These old antique stories in the martial arts, Cao Yi was not interested at all, he listened to it and thought that Qu Yong might be interested in the future, "It seems that the master of this tomb also died at that time." ”
"Yes." Pei Lan said: "The letter in front of him should be an introduction to his life, we can take a look." ”
