Gao Mingcheng has been looking in the mountains, he has good physical fitness and sufficient energy, even if he doesn't sleep all night, he is not in the way.

He went into the mountains overnight to look for him, not because he wanted to catch someone so that he could make meritorious contributions, but because he wanted to confirm whether the murderer had gone into the mountains to dig up the ancient tomb.

Xu had experienced this in his previous life, and he was very sensitive to it.

It takes a lot of time for others to go into the mountains to find people, but he doesn't, he can turn the entire Taohualing in a short time.

It's just that most of the night has passed, and Gao Mingcheng still found nothing, but he was not discouraged, but continued to search.

Gradually, the fish in the east was white, and a touch of light broke through the darkness, and there was a trace of gray and white color between heaven and earth.

Gao Mingcheng stopped on a hillside, and he decided to take a short rest.

He took out an aluminum military kettle from his pocket and drank several sips to quench his thirst. Then he looked left and right, and looked for a peak.

But that wasn't enough, he chose a tall tree to climb on, this one was a cedar tree, with a slender body and lush foliage at the top.

In the canopy, a bird nested there, and the sound of his climb woke up the sparrow in the nest, and the sparrow flew away and made a chirping sound.

A bird calls, a hundred birds respond.

Birds are always early risers, so there is a saying that early birds get worms.

Today was just an early awakening, but it was not a big problem, and the sparrows gathered together to condemn it, and then flew away one after another, and went in search of the bugs.

Gao Mingcheng quickly climbed along the trunk to the canopy, the fir tree is slender, in fact, it is not easy to climb, or he has strong hands and feet, and his body is flexible, so he can climb up smoothly.

Standing on a high place, the view is wide, and the mountains are all under your feet.

Gao Mingcheng watched carefully, although the trees obscured some of the vision, but fortunately, this was winter, not midsummer.

Again, around the ancient tomb, under normal circumstances, there will be no lush trees to grow, this is because the ancients did some protective measures when building the ancient tomb.

They built burial chambers, piled sand, and piled charcoal powder and various medicinal powders, and this kind of underground environment is not suitable for trees to take root.

After probing for a while, Gao Mingcheng found several suspicious locations and decided to check them all out.

He began to descend from the tree, and when there were still about two meters left, he didn't bother to climb down a little bit, but jumped straight down.

Once he had landed steadily, he headed for the nearest place.

As time passed, the sky grew brighter.

Although Gao Mingcheng's eyesight is good and he can roughly see at night, the light is good, which is naturally more conducive to observing the surrounding environment.

He headed towards a relatively empty place.

If there is a place in the mountains where the vegetation is relatively empty, there must be a reason.

All the vegetation yearns for the sun, and if there is no reason, it will never be empty.

He walked all the way, and in the distance he saw that the empty hillside had been dug up!

The earth and stones were scattered all over the ground, and by the morning light, he could see that there was still a large amount of sand in the graveyard, and it was a common means to pile sand in the cemetery to mark and keep the tomb dry.

Gao Mingcheng ran a few steps quickly, and when he got closer, he saw that two coffins had been damaged underneath, and the coffin lids were scattered next to them, exposing two dry bones.

The soil was fresh, it was evident that it had only been dug up recently, and there was a hoe on the side.

It was also dry this year, the coffin was very dry, there was no sewage, and there was nothing else in the coffin except for two dry bones.

Got it!

Gao Mingcheng's heart was beating, and he had a feeling that it was really like this.

Although these two ancient tombs were stolen and dug up, it does not mean that they were dug by the murderer Wang Zhi, assuming that Wang Zhi dug them, then is he still in the mountain now, or has he gone down the mountain?

This requires Gao Mingcheng to find the answer.

He looked down for footprints, there were many footprints on the side, and if the ground was dry, it would be difficult for people to walk on it, but the soles of the tomb robbers' shoes were stained with fresh soil, so there were some traces left some.

These traces, in the eyes of those who have a heart, are particularly obvious.

Gao Mingcheng followed these traces and soon found a cave.

The cave is not large, it is naturally formed and has a half-moon shape. Because the cave is shallow, when Gao Mingcheng found the cave, he saw Wang Zhi who was still sleeping.

Beside Wang Zhi, there were some clay pots and porcelain taken out of the ancient tomb.

The ancients regarded death as life, so they would use clay pots in the tomb to contain grains and grains, meaning that there is food to eat after death, these clay pots, basically not very valuable, real tomb robbers, generally do not touch these clay pots, but only look for exquisite porcelain and utensils placed close to the tomb owner.

Because of the belief that there is a spirit after death, some tomb owners will bring their favorite utensils with them for burial, such as jade, gold and silverware, books, picture scrolls, etc.

This Wang Zhi didn't know how he found this ancient tomb, but he was obviously inferior to Gao Mingcheng, a half-man, so he moved all the things that were still intact to the cave.

Gao Mingcheng's eyes swept around, and then quietly left, and when he came back, he already had two vines in his hands.

He didn't carry a rope with him, but the vines in the mountains could replace it.

So before Wang Zhi woke up, his hands and feet had been tied by Gao Mingcheng.

In the process of tying, Wang Zhi woke up in a daze, he subconsciously stretched his body, but found that his hands and feet were no longer able to move.

He screamed in panic and struggled to run.

"Save some snacks, you can't run away." Gao Mingcheng's voice sounded, but he didn't look at Wang Zhi, but squatted down and looked at the things that were brought out of the tomb.

In addition to the worthless clay pots, there are also some lacquerware, which has plates and small boxes with some patterns painted on them, which look more beautiful.

The small box has a lock, but the green patina is the mark of time.

Gao Mingcheng tried to open it, but he couldn't open it anymore unless it was violently destroyed. He shook the box and heard the crash of something inside.

This box, possibly a dowry, contains women's jewelry.

Just as Gao Mingcheng looked down at these things, Wang Zhi panicked and said, "Who are you?" You let go of me, I can divide half of you! ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I want them all!" Gao Mingcheng sneered and said deliberately.

Wang Zhi was stunned, he looked down at the pig-killing knife beside him, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

He begged for mercy in a low voice: "Okay, it's all for you, then you can let me go, and I'll leave immediately." ”

"Heh, where are you going? In this barren mountain range, there happens to be a dug pit, which is very convenient for you to bury. Gao Mingcheng stood up, he noticed that Wang Zhi's eyes were staring at the pig-killing knife, so he pretended to kick it inadvertently, and kicked the pig-killing knife far away.

Wang Zhi saw that the pig-killing knife was farther away from him, and his heart was beating rapidly, at this moment, his murderous intent had risen, but he couldn't move.

Gao Mingcheng didn't take his murderous intent seriously, but thought about how to bring people and things down the mountain.

The place where he found Wang Zhi was actually not that far, if a normal person entered the mountain, as long as he found the right route, he would be able to reach it in half a day.

But this is too troublesome for Gao Mingcheng, it is better for him to do something by himself and bring people and things down the mountain.

His gaze fell on the half of the yellow muntjac in the cave.

The meat was still relatively fresh, and Wang Zhi should have found a way to hunt it.

Well, just let him have a full meal first.
