Chapter 9 Into the Ancient Tomb to Find the Beauty
(First update, ask for votes)
Scraping the part of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" engraved by Wang Chongyang on the top wall, Yin Zhiping was distracted for a moment, looked at the other passage leading to the ancient tomb above in the stone room, and said secretly in his heart: "Do you want to go up and see Mo Chou?"
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go up and take a look, but he couldn't find Li Mochou for a while, and it was always right to explore the way first. At that moment, look up at the general route map of the ancient tomb carved in the southwest corner of the top wall, and take a closer look at the study. The road map carved in this place has not been destroyed, but he still remains here.
After looking at it for a while, and after roughly figuring it out, he turned and walked into the passage that led to the ancient tomb above. After entering the passage mouth, there is a bend, after turning the corner, there is a short passage about two feet long, and at the end of the passage is a row of stone steps extending upward.
Yin Zhiping walked over with a torch, took the firelight, and saw that there were about a dozen steps, and the top step was connected to the stone wall on the top. Looking at the top wall, I saw a rectangular slab wall about three feet wide and nine feet long in the center, which was clearly different from the others, and it was expected to be the portal to the top.
Yin Zhiping climbed the stairs, went up five or six steps, and was already able to raise his hand to touch the top wall. He paused, took the torch and looked over the stone door on the top wall, and saw a handle in the middle of the left-hand side. At that moment, he stretched out his hand to hold it, and according to the instructions on the road map, he turned to the left first, and heard a soft sound of "click", which seemed to be the activation of the mechanism. Then he pushed it up hard, and the stone door opened casually.
He pushed up the stairs as he continued to walk up. When it is completely pushed away, take a torch and shine it on it. I saw that it was really a coffin, but the coffin lid on it was only half covered.
Yin Zhiping hurriedly took the torch away. Hide under the stone wall at the stone gate and keep it from the fire. Just in case someone happens to be spotted. Hiding the torch and listening carefully to the fact that there was no movement outside, he leaned the open stone door against the sarcophagus wall, and continued to climb the stairs until the top of his head was almost on the top of the sarcophagus lid prescription to stop. Then he first looked outside, and saw that there was a wide stone room outside, and there was no half a figure, so he took out his torch and jumped lightly. Jumped out of the coffin.
I looked around by the light of the torches, but I saw that this stone chamber was very large, about five or six zhang square. There was nothing else in the stone chamber, except for five sarcophagi in the center. The two sarcophagi from the right are tightly covered, and the lids of the coffins have been sealed. The lids of the other three sarcophagi were only half pushed up, and the sarcophagus he came out of was the last one. If you count from the left, it's the first.
The two bodies have been tightly sealed, and Yin Zhiping knows the first one on the right side of the road, and inside is the body of Lin Chaoying, the patriarch of the ancient tomb sect. The second sarcophagus. is the master of Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, that is, Lin Chaoying's maid. As for what the name was, he didn't know what to say, and he never asked Li Mochou. The remaining three coffins were half-opened sarcophagi. It was left to Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun respectively.
Except for the five sarcophagi here, there is nothing to look at, Yin Zhiping looked at it casually. Find the portal to this stone chamber. He walked over and stuck to the doorway to listen to the movement outside, and then slowly opened the heavy stone door. Try not to make a noise.
Counting from the front portal of the tomb, the stone chamber where the sarcophagus is placed is already at the back of the tomb. And the daily residence and scope of activities of Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun. are in a small part of the front of the tomb. In the back of this place, few people will come here except for the annual sacrifices, or the dead people who want to be placed here.
Yin Zhiping opened the stone door, and after going outside, he looked left and right, and sure enough, he still didn't see half a figure. He opened the oilcloth wrap in his arms and took out the map map of the tomb that he had copied from his first visit. He looked at it carefully again, and walked forward.
The ancient tomb was excavated and built by Wang Chongyang as a base of his anti-Jin rebel army, which can not only collect many grain and grass weapons, but also hide thousands of soldiers, and the scale is very large. Later, after losing to Lin Chaoying here, Lin Chaoying even her maid was only two people. Later, there was a grandmother-in-law, and there were only three of them. After Lin Chaoying died, there were two left, and it wasn't until her maid successively accepted Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu as disciples that it was the most popular, a total of four.
And now that Hong Lingbo and Li Mochou have returned to the division, the number of people has recovered to the maximum of four. But let alone four, even if it is one or two times more, even if there are ten times or forty more, compared to this huge ancient tomb, their range of activities is still limited, and it is impossible to occupy all of them.
Thinking about this, Yin Zhiping became bolder. At least in the back part, don't be so cautious at all times. He immediately strode away, listening only to the movements around him.
I don't know how long it will take, and the torches will run out. I looked at the drawings in my hand, and I was about halfway through it, close to the first half.
Yin Zhiping came this time with only a torch. At this point, it was about to burn out, so he simply threw the rest into the ground. With his current skills, he has no problem seeing things in the dark. Anyway, I don't need to read and read, and most of the routes on the drawings are memorized. And at this time, it was close to the first half, and it was close to the range of activities of Xiaolongnu and others. So he walked in the dark, lest the light of the torches attract attention. And the next road is also more careful than before, because at this time, it is possible to bump into Xiaolongnu and the others at any time.
The direction and location he was heading to was the main entrance of the ancient tomb. According to his guess, the residence and range of activities of the people in the ancient tomb should be around the portal, so that it is close to the door and easy to enter and exit.
After about a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour, Yin Zhiping had faintly heard the sound of some voices in front of him. Knowing that he was already close to the range of activities of Xiaolongnu and others, he was even more cautious.
Along a passage, turning a corner, Yin Zhiping suddenly saw a light coming from a stone room in front of him with the door not closed. Immediately leaned against the stone wall and touched it more carefully. When I got close to the three or four zhang or so, I suddenly smelled the aroma of food coming from the stone room. I couldn't help but say secretly: "Is this the kitchen?"
Cautiously walked over and leaned against the door. The probe looked inside, and saw Grandma Sun's figure inside. And look at it according to the layout and utensils. Sure enough, it was the kitchen, and there was a stove in the corner of the wall. On the stone platform next to the stove are pots and pans, cutting boards, etc. And Granny Sun was facing away from the door, cutting something on the cutting board.
Yin Zhiping glanced at it, and while Granny Sun didn't look back, she flashed through the door like a shadow, and Granny Sun inside didn't notice it at all.
However, after walking a little further, after coming to a fork in the road, Yin Zhiping couldn't help but stop with some worry. The location of these two passages is connected to many stone rooms, and he doesn't know which stone room Li Mochou lives on. Although he has the general route map of the tomb in hand. But this picture was left by Wang Chongyang decades ago, and it will not mark where Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu and others lived. And Li Mochou is not the only one here, and he can't shout to lure Li Mochou out. A shout like that will only lead everyone out.
Frowning and thinking for a while, he thought of a stupid solution, and reluctantly retreated to the kitchen, hiding in a bend, monitoring the movement of the kitchen at any time, and then waited patiently.
Since Granny Sun is cooking. It was obviously almost time for a few people in the tomb to have dinner. When the meal is ready, whether Grandma Sun asks Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu, and Hong Lingbo to come over to eat together, or she sends them over separately, then he will have a chance. You can follow Granny Sun to find Li Mochou.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before he saw Grandma Sun come out of the kitchen, and then reached out and pushed open the stone door of a stone room opposite the kitchen. In a moment, there was a light coming from the stone chamber. It should have been Grandma Sun who lit a candle or an oil lamp or something like that.
After the room was lit up, Granny Sun turned around and walked back to the kitchen. After a while, he walked out with two plates and walked into the stone room opposite. She went back and forth like this several times. I served a few dishes from the kitchen one by one.
Yin Zhiping looked at Granny Sun's actions, and guessed in his heart that the stone room opposite should be the canteen in the ancient tomb. Once the kitchen is ready, we eat nearby.
Grandma Sun went back and forth a few times, and when she came out of the stone room opposite the kitchen again, she did not turn back into the kitchen, but walked along the passage to the front.
Yin Zhiping walked through a bend with her figure, walked out of the bend where she was hiding, walked to the kitchen door, and glanced into the stone room opposite. But seeing that this stone room is not big, it looks like it is about two or three feet in radius. In the center of the stone room is a round stone table, on which are placed several dishes, and next to the table are several stone drum stools. On a stone candlestick on the table, a candle is lit. Seeing that it was indeed a canteen, Granny Sun left, and it was expected that Li Mochou and a few people would come to dinner, so he did not step forward to follow Granny Sun, but turned around and retreated to the hiding place.
After returning to the hideout and hiding, after waiting for a long time, Yin Zhiping saw the figure in the passage flickering, and Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou walked over side by side. Behind the two is Hong Lingbo, and behind Hong Lingbo is Grandma Sun.
Seeing the four people approaching, he hurriedly shrank his head back to prevent being seen by the four. Then he listened to the footsteps of the four people and calculated the distance that the four people had walked over. He was about two feet away from the kitchen and the door of the dining hall, and when he heard Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu walking side by side to the door of the dining hall. He poked out a little bit of an eye, saw where Li Mochou was, and used the skill of transmitting the sound into the secret, forcing the voice into a line, and sent it to Li Mochou's ear and said: "Mochou, I am hiding behind the bend in front of you, you can come to me after you finish eating." ”
This transmission is to force the sound into a line, and then send it directly to the listener's ears with internal force, even if the person next to him is close to him, he cannot hear it. So he transmitted the message to Li Mochou at this time, and he was not afraid that the little dragon girl next to him would hear it.
Li Mochou was walking by himself, and suddenly heard the familiar voice of Yin Zhiping in his ears, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and his face couldn't help but change a little. Fortunately, at this time, Hong Lingbo and Grandma Sun were behind her, and the little dragon girl beside her just looked at the road in front of her, and did not turn her head to look at her, but no one noticed it.
She was startled and immediately suppressed the change in her complexion, returned to normal, and then glanced at the bend ahead, but found nothing. But at this time, Xiaolongnu was next to her, and she also knew that Yin Zhiping didn't dare to show her clues. He said secretly in his heart: "Whether you heard it wrong or not, you will know it later." (To be continued.) )
