Chapter 10: The Strange Light of the Night

"Goo!"

Zhang Fan, who was in a coma, was woken up by a continuous nightingale's sound, he felt very angry, and couldn't help scolding: "Damn nightingale, all rats know how to act secretly, do you want to die as a nightingale?"

"Childe, why don't you sleep?" At this time, Xue'er was also woken up, full of doubts, "Who were you scolding just now?" After hearing this, Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed and said: "I was woken up by the sound of birds, and I just complained." Cher, go back to sleep. Xue'er had fully woken up, so naturally she didn't feel sleepy, and said, "Childe, I don't want to sleep now." Seeing this, Zhang Fan said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xue'er, I woke you up." ”

Zhang Fan picked up the wine gourd that was put aside, unscrewed the mouth of the gourd, poured a mouthful of monkey brew into his mouth, and said: "Monkey brew is really good, if you can find a group of monkeys in the future, you may not be able to get some." Xue'er smiled: "Childe, you better save a little, so many monkeys will be drunk by you in a few days." Zhang Fan said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, the daughter will come back when she is gone." Xue'er was also a little helpless when she saw that her son-in-law was still the same, and then the two were silent for a while.

After Zhang Fan drank a few sips of the high monkey brew, he felt a little hot, and said to Xue'er: "Xue'er, how about we go out to enjoy the coolness?" Xue'er saw that the two of them had nothing to do, and she didn't want to cultivate, so she replied: "Okay." Then the two of them came out of the hut and walked to the stream, looking at the stars in the sky, and their thoughts lingered.

Suddenly, Xue'er pulled her son's arm and said, "Childe, look, there seems to be light over there." Zhang Fan came back to his senses, looked in the direction of Xue'er's finger, and found that there was a faint fire coming from a mile away, and thought: "In the middle of the night, how can anyone come to the depths of the beast forest?" So, he said to Xue'er: "Xue'er, let's go and have a look." Then the two men put on leather armor, took iron swords, and smeared and stalked towards the firelight.

As Zhang Fan and the two approached, several clear voices came. So Zhang Fan and the two hurriedly found a hiding place to hide and listened attentively.

First of all, a rough male voice came out: "Lin San'er, didn't you say that we only need to walk for half a day to arrive? Why did we not find the general's tomb from morning to evening." Are you kidding us?"

As soon as the rough male voice fell, a feminine voice came: "Big brother said well." Little San'er, if you dare to play with us, I will let you chrysanthemum bloom piece by piece. ”

Then, a somewhat strange children's voice sounded: "The two eldest brothers are right. If you dare to tell lies to our three saints, just wait for the brute beasts in the barren mountains and forests to take care of you. ”

Finally, a slightly frightened man said: "How dare the little one deceive the three great sages? The little one has been dealing with the medicine collectors all the year round, how can he not distinguish the truth from the falsehood of the news? The reason why the little one led the three great sages to come late at night is because the matter is very important, and it will be troublesome for people to know about it." ”

When several people approached, Zhang Fan finally saw clearly the person who had just spoken.

A thin man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, hunched over, walked in front, a tall, burly, bearded man carrying a two-meter-long knife followed closely behind, a middle-aged man with a skeletal face and a thin sword, and a wrinkled dwarf with a package on his back.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan whispered to Xue'er, who was trembling a little beside him, "Don't worry, there is me." Let's go and have a look. Then the two men followed the four of them and walked forward together.

After a while, the group came to a cave that was not very inconspicuous. This cave was only nearly a hundred meters away from the place where Xue'er was unconscious during the day. Seeing this, Zhang Fan hurriedly gave Xue'er and himself a detoxification pill, and then observed again.

When the four of them approached the cave, the middle-aged Yin Owl reminded: "Big brother, third brother, I just found out that a large amount of Ecstasy Grass has been planted here, you should quickly eat the antidote pill." As he spoke, he tossed the two vials at the big man and the dwarf. Seeing this, the emaciated man said with a frightened face: "Second Sage, give Xiao a detoxification pill." The little ones are going to die. ”

The dwarf said: "Lin San'er, the antidote pill costs 10,000 taels of silver, if you give you the antidote pill, can you afford to pay 10,000 taels of silver?"

When the emaciated man heard this, he was a little confused and said: "Three great sages, I brought you all the way, and it can be regarded as a high level of hard work, rescue" Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

Seeing this, Dahan said: "This kind of ungrateful person deserves to die." By killing the herb picker who told him the news, we would have been justified in killing him hundreds of times. Now we didn't kill him, and if we die in this barren mountain and wilderness, we will avenge the medicine picker. Second brother, third brother, let's start work. ”

Then, the three of them quickly took out the tools in the package and began to clean the cave. After a while, a dirt road about one zhang wide, two zhang deep, and several zhang long appeared. At the end of the dirt passage is the sealed door of a burial chamber.

The middle-aged yin owl said: "Big brother, third brother." Stand aside, and I'll break the seal. After a while, he opened a hole in the door that was large enough for one person to enter and exit.

Seeing that the door had been opened, Dahan smiled and said, "Well done, second brother." Third brother, you go in and explore the way. ”

The dwarf complained, "Big brother, why am I again?"

The middle-aged Yin Owl said, "Okay, third brother." Of the few of us, you are the most dexterous, so you can go. As he spoke, he handed the torch to the three dwarf saints.

The three saints said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go." I'm going to get a little bit more in a moment, though. As he spoke, he took out a damp cloth and put it over his mouth and nose, took the torch, and like a spirit monkey, rushed into it.

After a while, the three saints ran out of breath. It's just that he was covered in mud, his hair was scattered, and he had a few mud marks on his face, and he looked a little wolf.

The dwarf said to the two elder brothers waiting outside: "Big brother, second brother, the crossbow array in the corridor has been damaged, come in." Then the Great Khan and the middle-aged Yin Owl quickly jumped in, and the Three Saints and his party walked towards the tomb with torches.

Zhang Fan and the two followed all the way. They found that the corridor was a little damp, and there were some decaying crossbow arrows scattered on the ground. Several people walked cautiously for a while, passed several forks, turned more than a dozen turns, and finally came to a two-meter-high arched stone gate.

Dahan said: "Third brother, second brother, you go to the side, I will break the stone gate." The dwarf said: "Big brother, wait for a while when the stone door is broken, and the mechanism inside may be activated." You put on the chain mail first. The middle-aged yin owl said disapprerovingly: "The third brother has seen it, hehe." Along the way, the bolts were rotting, and I don't think the mechanisms in the tomb were much better. But the third brother is right, you better be careful. ”

The three of them set their torches aside and prepared themselves. The Great Khan took out the big knife from the package, first came to a hundred meters in front of the stone gate, and then shot at the stone gate like an arrow from the string, and the big knife in his hand slashed at the stone gate. I heard a loud "bang!" sound, and the stone door shattered like glass, and then a faint white light shot out from inside. However, as the white light shot out, several iron spears also shot out from the stone gate, knocking the big man into a hundred meters in front of the stone gate.

"Big brother!" "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, the second and third saints shouted almost at the same time, and then quickly ran to Dahan's side and hugged Dahan.

The big man was full of blood, his eyes were blurred, and when he saw the two younger brothers running over, he said intermittently: "Third brother and second brother, I'm afraid I'm about to die, the iron spear hit my chest, and my internal organs were almost shattered, but it's a pity that I'm just refining the pulse realm, but it's a pity that we only know the three" He still finished speaking, and then he lost his breath.

Seeing this, the dwarf cried and said, "Big brother, it's the little brother who is sorry for you." If the younger brother knew that this would happen, I would have to block the spear for the eldest brother even if I died. The middle-aged yin owl was also full of sadness, and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry for you." If I came to open the stone gate, you wouldn't be like this. Third brother, let's take the body of the eldest brother aside, wait until we find the gold and silver, and burn some more paper money for the eldest brother. The dwarf said sadly: "Now that the eldest brother is gone, I will listen to the second brother." The middle-aged man said: "Third brother, now that the eldest brother is gone, you and I are very sad, but we can't live up to the hope of the eldest brother, let's hurry in and take a look, maybe there is something to gain, and after coming out, I can hold a vigorous funeral for the eldest brother, which can be regarded as repaying the eldest brother for taking in during this time." The dwarf said: "The second brother is right, we must not only prepare for the funeral of the eldest brother, but also run the cottage for the eldest brother, after all, it is the hard work of the eldest brother for many years." The middle-aged man looked at the short Sansheng with a smile and said, "Okay, third brother, you have the best experience in tomb robbing, and the money in the village will depend on you in the future." Now let's go in and have a look. The dwarf smiled: "Don't worry, second brother, you can't run." Among the three of us brothers, you have the most ideas, and now that the eldest brother is gone, you will be my eldest brother in the future. The middle-aged man said: "Okay, the seat of the second village master is indispensable to you." Let's go, let's go in. ”

The two of them then set the Khan's body aside, took torches, looked at the white light coming out of the stone door, and walked towards the tomb.

Zhang Fan and Xue'er, who were hiding in the shadows, were also frightened by the scene just now, but now when they saw the two of them entering, they also quietly followed in.
