Volume 2 Chapter 49 Opening the Thief's Cave
The underground palace in this bottle mountain is no different from the Taoist fairy palace built on the mountain peak, but it is just that the fairy palace is built in the belly of the mountain by using the cave inside the bottle mountain.
It is also a step-shaped gradual upward, following the crooked trend of the bottle mountain, there is a hall in the belly of the mountain, which is higher than a hall, about four or five stories high, and the scale is very grand.
Although the bottle mountain is a whole large bluestone, it is not really invulnerable, and some places in the mountain are mixed with earth and stones.
If Shanyang is compared to a bluestone giant shield, like an invulnerable golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, blocking all tomb robbers who want to dig up ancient tombs with external forces, then Shanyin is an empty door, a cover door of iron cloth shirts.
The larger the scale of things in the world, the easier it is to find weaknesses, there must be a sparse in the hundred secrets, the rocks and soil in the shade of the mountain are mixed, and the partridge whistle is looking from the inside, so naturally the weak link of the underground palace is quickly found.
The partridge whistle determined the location, stood in front of a mountain wall, and said to Chen Yulou and others: "This is the place, if you dig out a thief hole, you will be able to penetrate the mountain yin, and it will be much more convenient to transport Ming weapons from here." ”
Chen Yulou and Luo Lao were overjoyed, and Chen Yulou smiled at the partridge whistle: "I was about to see the magic of moving mountains." ”
Partridge Whistle smiled, beckoned to the old foreigner and Hua Ling, and said, "Take the mountain and dig the sub-armor." ”
"Yes. ”
Chen Yulou and all the swordsmen of Jieling surrounded them with great interest, and they didn't expect to have the opportunity to see the secret art of moving mountains today.
Who has never heard of the art of moving mountains and dividing armor into tombs? But before, the mountain movers never interacted with outsiders, so almost no one had seen the mountain digging and digging the armor with their own eyes, and everyone was in the business of fighting backwards, so how could they not be curious?
Immediately, everyone was concentrating, holding their breath, staring at every move of the three mountain movers without blinking.
Luo Changfeng crossed his arms and watched coldly, he already knew what was going on in the mountains and digging Zijia, so naturally he didn't have that expectation.
I saw Hua Ling and the old foreigner unloading the bamboo basket from behind, and the bamboo basket was covered with batik cloth, and it seemed to contain a lot of things.
Hua Ling took out the medicine cake and twisted it and sprinkled it on the bamboo basket, and she didn't know what the composition of the medicine cake was, she shook it casually, and suddenly a cloud of dust and smoke came out, and she heard something in the bamboo basket wriggling and about to come out, and there was a chaotic sound, like a large piece of iron armor leaves rubbing against each other.
The group of thieves was taken aback, and after hearing the name of the mountain digging Zijia for a long time, no one thought that this thing was actually a living thing.
The word "digger" is a kind of name for the engineer in ancient times, in ancient wars, there was often a method of attacking the city and pulling out the village, and it was difficult to conquer the city with strong walls and high fortifications, and the siege troops would divide their troops to dig tunnels and trap the city.
The defenders of the city also dug deep ditches and poured water and stones into them to prevent the enemy from digging through the walls from the outside.
Most of the soldiers who perform this kind of task are short and stout people who are good at digging the earth and digging the mud, and they are like gophers drilling around in the earth ditch tunnels, and jumping in the ground is a typical representative, they are also called "digging army" or "digging battalion".
Therefore, the group of thieves had previously guessed that the Dividing Mountain Digger Armor should be a set of copper armor, which was the special armor worn by the Digger Army in ancient times, with iron claws and iron leaves for digging the ground, but they never expected it to be a living thing.
Listening to the sound in the bamboo basket getting louder and louder, Hua Ling took out two balls full of armor leaves from it, and rolled on the ground twice before stretching out, which turned out to be two monsters with scales and armor all over their bodies.
The pair of monsters were shaped like dragons and carps, with neat scales like ancient armor, a head like a cone, a tail with horns, short and thick limbs, sharp toes and claws, and a swaying head and tail that looked vigorous and vigorous.
As soon as he crawled slightly, the scales on his body made a sound like iron armor leaves, and there was a copper ring on his body, which was engraved with the word "Cave Tomb".
Most of the thieves in the Jieling Ridge had never seen this thing, and their surprise was beyond words, and they took two steps back, Chen Yulou was naturally knowledgeable, and when he saw the monster, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't it the Tomb Armor of the Mountain Cave?"
Partridge Whistle looked at Chen Yulou and praised: "Brother Chen is so knowledgeable. ”
Chen Yulou said with admiration: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being a mountain movers, this mountain cave tomb armor has been lost in the Tang Dynasty, I didn't expect you to raise this treasure, admire, admire." ”
Listening to Chen Yulou's admiration, the partridge whistle just smiled silently, but the old foreigner and the flower spirit were colorful, and now in the world, only they know how to domesticate the mountain and cave armor, which is indeed worthy of their pride.
The pangolin is a foreign object in the world, and although it resembles a pangolin in appearance, there is actually a big difference between the two.
More than 2,000 years ago, tomb robbers tamed the pangolin, and by feeding it fine food and medicinal materials, its forelimbs were particularly developed, and through long-term domestication, it could be used as a sharp weapon for tomb robbers.
In ancient times, most of the tombs were covered with bucket mound bell-shaped sealed soil, even if there was no underground palace and underworld inside, the interior was mostly wooden coffins, built with layers of wood.
There are not many tomb bricks that are completely used, and there are few large-scale tombs with mountains as hiding, and ordinary grave mounds rammed earth cannot stop the sharp claws of the tomb armor that pierces the mountain.
Later tombs gradually absorbed the experience of anti-theft, the stone is getting bigger and bigger, and the degree of hardness also increases, and the cracks have to be watered with molten copper and iron juice, so that the pan cave tomb armor gradually lost its usefulness.
But for the ordinary graves in the cold and damp areas of the Xiangqian Mountains, it can still come in handy, this Tang Dynasty has been lost in the cave tomb armor domestication method, in today's world, only the mountain movers still understand, has always been the secret method in the moving art.
The pair of cave armor, one large and one small, seemed to have been asleep in the bamboo basket until they crawled on the ground like a dream at this time, shaking their bodies and stretching their limbs.
Listening to the sound of their claws scraping the ground, you know that the strength is fierce, and many of the thieves don't know it, and they are worried that this thing will hurt people, so they can't help but take a few steps back.
At this time, Hua Ling and the old foreigner stepped forward side by side, grabbed the copper rings on the body of the Lingjia in the cave and pressed them firmly to the ground.
This pair of mountain cave armor kicked on all fours and kept struggling, but because the acupuncture points were locked by the copper ring, it was difficult to break free even if there was the power to break through the rocks and penetrate the mountain.
Hua Ling took out a few bamboo tubes, which were full of red-headed ants, which could weigh several catties, and first fed the two cave armors to eat half full, and then dragged them to the mountain wall, pushing them to dig the earth and rocks there.
Panshan cave mausoleum armor this thing drills when it sees the mountain, especially likes the soil and rocks near the tomb, which is heavy in yin air.
I saw that the slightly smaller body was in front, its body arched forward, shaking up a thick armor, hooked toes flying, dazzlingly fast, digging hard soil is as simple as digging up crushed tofu, easily through the mountain.
The old foreigner grabbed the other large pangolin armor and tied a chain to its copper ring, making it difficult for it to burrow into the mountain with the previous one.
These two guys are not separated from the scales, and if they catch one, they will not worry about the other going in the wrong direction, or they will escape in the middle of the way, but they will shorten the chain, and deliberately rush to the big one to land on the ground, and the hole that has been dug up will be bigger and bigger.
Although Chen Yulou and the Xieling group of thieves are also veterans of inverted fighting, who has ever seen this kind of method, and they are dumbfounded.
It turns out that these two cave armors are different in shape, but they are a perfect match for separate attacks and combined attacks, one digs a vertical and horizontal robbery hole, and the other expands the diameter of the cave.
Moreover, the speed at which they dig and drill into the mountains is almost unimaginable to ordinary people, if they don't see it with their own eyes, how can they imagine that they have such a strange technique.
This robbery cave dug by the armor of the cave is wide enough to allow people to bow down, although it is more difficult than standing up straight, but it is much easier than carrying gold and jade treasures on their backs and climbing the cliff.
