Chapter 4: Tomb Robbers
The night is getting deeper, and the Beibi Mountain under the night has become extremely deep and silent, and there seem to be thousands of powerful ghosts lurking in it, and they are about to choose people to devour. But then again, how many people will still be active at night in Beibi Mountain after dark? Even if there are really man-eating ghosts, I am afraid that they can only wait for one time.
In fact, in the early years, Beibi Mountain was not like this, but in the last years of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Golden Horde invaded the Central Plains and slaughtered, ten rooms and nine empty, and the souls were everywhere. Although the righteous path sects and the evil path sects later joined forces to destroy the Soap Pavilion Sect and destroy the ghost country here, there are still many "remnants" left, so today's Beibi Mountain is still a forbidden place for ordinary people not to set foot in.
Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no one living in the Beibi Mountains at this time, in addition to the masters of the arts, at least there are the disciples of the Soap Pavilion Sect, even when there were the most ghosts back then, the disciples of the Soap Pavilion Sect were still able to move freely in the Beibi Mountains where ten thousand ghosts came to the dynasty by virtue of raising ghosts.
There were no stars in the dark night sky, only a broken semi-circular cold moon hanging, revealing a little pale light, a gust of night wind blowing, the leaves rattling, and the rugged mountain road between the dense forests was suddenly full of shadows, like ghosts.
There is an old saying that people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points, at this time it is people who are more terrible than ghosts, in the bushes on both sides of the road, there are more than a dozen figures, all of them are black-clothed soap boots, covered with black iron masks, only their eyes are exposed, and the black pupils reveal a faint light in the night.
After a short time, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves from the end of the mountain road, and then a team of men and horses came out of the night, there were about ten mules and horses, and each mule and horse had a box hanging on the left and right, so that there were more than 20 boxes, all of which were tied with ropes.
Walking in the front was an elderly man, with a weathered face and gray temples, obviously the leader, he was halfway through, suddenly stopped, raised his hand and made a gesture, the horse team behind him immediately stopped, and the man escorting the mules and horses immediately shot his weapon, as if facing a great enemy.
The black-clothed people who were originally standing in the dense forest on both sides of the road slowly walked out, although they didn't see weapons, but just one stop in the middle of the road, it made people feel suffocated. The leader is also dressed in black, but the mask on his face, the buckle on his wrist, the belt on his waist, and the soap boots on his feet are embroidered with silver threads, and even the black robe has a faint silver edge, but it is not clear in the dark.
When the leading man on the mule and horse side saw this man, he immediately felt cold, and knew that today's affairs were difficult to be good.
Sure enough, the man took a few steps forward and said slowly: "Beibi Mountain has been the location of the emperor's mausoleum since ancient times, so for thousands of years, what touching gold and fighting has been repeatedly banned. ”
Speaking of this, the man in black smiled, and the laughter came from under the mask, and in the cold night, it seemed a little cold and penetrating.
He continued: "Our Soap Pavilion Sect has been based on Beibi Mountain for many years, and we don't dare to regard the entire thirty-two peaks of Beibi Mountain as our own private property, some petty theft, we can turn a blind eye, but like you today, first without saying hello, so fanfare to 'get rich', and then run away overnight without saying a word, it is inevitable that we will not take our Soap Pavilion Sect in our eyes. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the mountain road suddenly froze.
Behind the man with gray temples, there stood a sturdy young man, who immediately said indignantly after hearing this: "There are many organs in that big tomb, and there is a big zongzi, we have paid a 'dragon rope' and the lives of a dozen brothers to get these bright weapons out, and if you don't do anything, you will take away sixty percent, and give us forty percent, which is too greedy." ”
The man in black didn't even glance at this nobody, he still stared at the leading man, and said indifferently: "If I can leave you forty percent, it is already the sect master's old man's grace, if it is placed in the past, we will take away seventy percent, if it is not pleasing to the eye, eighty percent is also available." ”
The sturdy young man was about to speak, but the leading man raised his hand to stop him.
Although the young man's face was still unwilling, he still retreated stupidly.
The leading man said slowly: "It's not the first day that we came out to mingle with the rivers and lakes, so there is no need to say these nonsense anymore. ”
Tomb robbers, named thieves, are actually huge thieves on the rivers and lakes, they do not only open the tomb and steal the treasure, after all, the wealth is moving, the burial of the emperors and princes of the past dynasties, which is not worth a thousand gold, so the tomb robbers are among the peers, between the seller and the buyer, it is a common thing to fight, and even more, between the green forest and the tomb robbery, there have always been many people, when the tomb can not be found, they will gather in the mountains and forests to rob the property, as long as they can find a place, even if there is an emperor mound, dare to excavate. Therefore, most of these tomb robbers are very skilled, and they are all outlaws who die for money, and most of them have human lives on their hands.
At this time, when facing the Soap Pavilion Sect, everyone is one head and two hands, no one has anything more than the other, there is no reason to be afraid of you just because you are the Soap Pavilion Sect, if you are timid and afraid of things, you will not do the business of tomb robbery.
"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and that's what you do. The black-clothed iron-masked man smiled coldly, and his voice was like a night owl: "But it doesn't matter, we don't have much else in the Soap Pavilion Sect, but there is no shortage of coffins to bury the dead!"
Speaking of which, it is the real chapter under the hands, one side is a giant thief who travels all over the rivers and lakes, and the other side is the Soap Pavilion Sect that acts secretively and has no taboos, no one is good at stubble, in this case, you can only live and die.
"Kill!" The leading disciple of the Soap Pavilion Sect did not say a word of nonsense, and resolutely ordered. He has been responsible for inspecting the major emperors' tombs in Beibi Mountain for many years, and these people who want to get out of the way don't know how many they have encountered, they would rather be supported to death by gold and silver than starve to death, this kind of person is the Buddha can't be saved!
The tomb robbers on the other side were also not afraid, and the three tomb robbers who rushed to the front rushed directly towards the leading disciple of the Soap Pavilion Sect, the leading disciple smiled coldly, waved back the three long knives that slashed at him with one sleeve, and slapped it out with one palm, directly imprinting a pitch-black palm print on the chest of a tomb robber, which was clearly visible.
This is the "black palm" of the Soap Pavilion Sect, with poison in the palm, if it is hit on the body with a palm, it will be killed on the spot, or it will be poisoned by the corpse into the body, and after the poisonous gas attacks the heart, it will turn into a living corpse, but this tomb robber is like no one, he is unaware.
On the contrary, this Soap Pavilion Sect disciple felt as if his palm had slapped on a stone, and he was actually shocked and felt a faint pain, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Take a closer look, these tomb robbers are wearing "paper armor" under their clothes, not paper armor in the army, but folded into a clothing armor style with rune paper, and thrown into the body, it can be turned into clothing armor, also known as "rune armor", not only harder than iron armor, but also able to resist the qi machine, if you can't break the paper armor, you must not hurt its inside. The only drawback is that this kind of paper armor is not easy to make, and it can only be used for a stick of incense.
The face of the leading disciple of the Soap Pavilion Sect became solemn, there can be such a thing as "Divine Rune Armor", which shows that the origin of these tomb robbers is extraordinary, you must know that in addition to the twelve sects of the righteous path and the ten sects of the evil path, not to mention the important places of Confucianism such as the Vientiane School Palace, there is no shortage of side doors and left ways on the rivers and lakes. For example, the Luo religion in the previous dynasty, once flourished, after the rebellion, it was suppressed by the imperial court, and later changed its name to the White Lotus Sect, the Red Lotus Sect, etc., and now it is called the Qingyang Sect, which combines the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and is known as the unity of the three religions, which is jointly excluded by the three religions.
Could it be that these tomb robbers are from the Qingyang Sect?
