Chen and Luo heard that the engineers there were in chaos, saying that they had dug up "human heads and watermelons". They knew there was something wrong, so they led the people over to check. At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the heavy rain that had fallen all night had stopped. The ground gate was in the shade of a mountain. The terrain was high and dry, and the water flowed around. After the rain stopped, there would be no water to come back, but the ground was dug by engineers. The area was uneven, with nothing but mud and sewage. After bypassing several construction ditches, Blind Chen separated from the crowd and looked inside. He was also very surprised. He couldn't help but said "Huh" and thought to himself, "It's weird."
It turned out that more than ten feet underground, there were many watermelon-like things with branches and vines and leaves, but they were buried deep in the soil. The undulations on the melon skin looked like human faces, and the spots on the faces looked like blood stains. If someone were unaware and saw it, they would inevitably think it was a "human head" in the soil.
Luo Laowai crushed one with his foot. The flesh inside was as red as blood, and a lot of red juice splattered out. It was not like ordinary watermelon flesh. He whispered to Blind Chen: "Mr. Chen, my brother did it in western Hunan." There was a business of sending corpses for smuggling. Although there are many weird things in the mountainous area, I have never seen anything like this before. Now that I have dug it up, I wonder if it is good or bad?" Although he is a murderous warlord leader, he is used to doing deceptive business and concealing the truth from the truth. But after all, he was from the bottom of the old society, and he was still a little afraid of things in the dark. He felt that digging up melons like human heads was definitely not a good sign, so he asked.
Blind Chen picked up a melon from the soil, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Brothers, you don't know something. There are only winter melons, watermelons, and pumpkins in the world, but why are there no north melons? In fact, it's not that they don't exist, but very few people know. Because the northern melon only grows in the barren mountains and rivers of Yidong, it is also called corpse head man. It is caused by the resentment of the deceased and is often produced from the ground. It is rarely seen in the world. What is dug out now is the corpse head in the soil. quite."
In the early years, there was a saying that the ghosts of those who died would go down. For example, there would be a piece of black coal in the ground at the feet of the hanged ghost; and a melon with human head would grow out of the ground of a decapitated corpse. Before death, a wave of resentment is difficult to extinguish, and it forms into an object. It is usually found in execution sites and ancient battlefields, but it is rare to find this object when digging graves. Blind Chen knows all the things in the world. Although he recognizes them, he can't tell whether they are good or bad. However, the vicinity of Pingshan Mountain was originally a battlefield in ancient times. Countless Miao people were slaughtered in the Seventy-Two Cave. The souls of the dead under Pingshan Mountain must be full of resentment, so it is not surprising to find corpses in the ground. On the contrary, it shows that there is a sinister underworld at the foot of the mountain. The energy was deep and heavy, and we were not far from the tomb door.
Although Luo Laowai is an illiterate and cruel warlord, he also knows that sometimes you cannot rely solely on the gun leader. Now that the engineers and soldiers are frightened when they see the foreign objects dug out, they must stabilize the morale of the army to prevent more and more deserters from deserting. He rolled his eyes twice to figure it out, and moved a human-headed melon out of the mud pit, saying in his mouth: "Bridges return to bridges, roads return to roads… Clothes go to the pawn shop, no one in the East China Sea is afraid… Young people are most afraid of keeping an empty house. Ah…" He wanted to recite a few words of the spell he learned as a corpse transporter to save the souls of the dead, so that the engineers would feel more at ease and not delay the important event of tomb robbing.
Those mouthpieces had been used for many years and had become rusty, so I had no choice but to talk nonsense. Unexpectedly, just after Luo Laowai started talking nonsense, the corpse head he was holding suddenly fell from his hand as if it was alive. Come and immediately roll up the slope.
The thieves and the soldiers were all shocked. Luo Laowai was even more frightened and sat down on the spot in the muddy water. Chen Xiazi, who was nearby, had quick hands and had already swung out the small magic blade in his hand, cutting the corpse head in half with one knife. It turned out that there was a black centipede in the melon. He was cut into two pieces by the sharp blade. There are dozens of pearls the size of fingernails inside the centipede. These are called centipede pearls. They should not be brought close to the mouth and nose. However, if there are scabies poisonous scabs on the body, they can be rubbed repeatedly on the affected area to remove the poison. It is a rare medicinal material.
Luo Laowai thought it was Ye Mingzhu, so he hurriedly asked his men to dig out all the corpses from the ground, and dig them out one by one to examine them. However, they found nothing, so he couldn't help but lost his temper and had no intention of doing his dojo anymore. He ordered The engineers continued to work, and unless the door of the Pingshan Ancient Tomb was dug out today, his grandma would not allow him to stop and rest.
Most of the soldiers in the engineer digging camp were heavy smokers. After digging all night, they were already exhausted and yawning. Some of them couldn't help but became addicted to cigarettes. They collapsed on the ground on the spot and were immediately arrested. Drag him to the forest and kill him. This method of killing one person as a warning to others was indeed effective, and the rest had to continue digging with shovels and hoeing.
If there is anything to say, it will be long, if there is nothing to say, it will be short. This digging continued until noon, and sure enough, deep in the underground where there were corpses and barbarians, a majestic large stone gate was dug out.
It turned out that it happened to be stormy and thunderous last night, and Chen Xiazi's skill of listening to wind and thunder was put into practice. During the thunderstorm, he heard the endless echo in the ground, and concluded that the tomb door was at the foot of the mountain, but it was buried very deep, so he dug all the way down. Something must be gained. Ordinary tomb robbers would not have the ability to listen to caves to find hidden objects. Otherwise, even if hundreds of engineers vomited blood from exhaustion, they would not have been able to dig out the tomb door so quickly.
Luo Laowai was overjoyed and ordered each of the engineers who dug the stone gate to be rewarded with two taels of high-quality longevity ointment. As he spoke, he and Chen Xiazi led a group of thieves to go over. They pushed aside the tired engineers and saw that the dark blue stone door was divided into two doors, both of which were more than three people high. The width was also very wide, like a closed door. city gate. The stone door buried deep in the ground is extremely heavy, probably weighing no less than three to five thousand kilograms. Lead, molten iron, and liquid were poured into the gaps between the door and the door. The ancient cemetery palace is very large. Although there are no jewels and jade in the side hall, according to local legend, the rare things that Emperor Daojun enshrined the gods were hidden in a deep well in the main hall. Luo Laowai was so greedy that he thought of this. I felt my throat was dry and I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
At this time, a group of sharp-eyed thieves discovered ancient characters chiselled on the stone gate. After clearing the soil, they did not recognize it. The group of thieves in Xiling were all thieves in the forest. Although some of them had ink in their bellies, after all, their knowledge was shallow and they could not recognize it. I can't tell what ancient seals were carved. But everyone has curiosity. The more they can't understand, the more they want to know what the content is. Many ancient tombs have been stolen in the past, but I have never seen any with writing on the tomb door. This is not in line with the burial system.
Among this group of people, only Chen Xiazi, the leader of the bandits, was a well-educated man and often boasted that he was full of classics and allusions. At this time, the bandits invited him to the front to see the ancient seal script on the stone door. With just one glance, Blind Chen's heart was like fifteen buckets fetching water, moving up and down. It turns out that the line of large characters on the door of the tomb is not a seal inscribed on a stele, but a curse from the owner of the tomb to those who want to touch gold. Although the people buried in the tomb are Mongolians, the tomb robbers have always been Han Chinese, so these characters are engraved in Chinese characters. They are the seal script on the stele, but not the ancient seal script. The content is to punish the tomb robbers who dare to touch this tomb. Many vicious and sinister curses.
Chen Xiazi is the leader of the Xiling Mountains. He has dedicated his life to visiting ancient tombs and tombs in various places. He has never believed in the nonsense that robbing tombs will lead to retribution. However, standing in front of the big stone door of the tomb passage, he felt strange and ominous in his heart. As a student, I vaguely felt that there was a huge danger hidden in the darkness behind this door. Once the door was broken in, a nightmare would be waiting for everyone. There is a saying that "God cannot be deceived. Think before you take action. Everything will be rewarded in the end. Just fight whether you come early or come late." There have been many tomb robbing activities. Even the giant Xiling robbers who are rampant in the world are unavoidable. There will be times when you feel guilty.
But there was no turning back when he opened his bow. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on Blind Chen, which did not allow him to hesitate or fear. As soon as these thoughts changed, he pointed at the tomb door and said to the group of thieves: "Read the inscription on the tombstone." The text is from the Ying Dynasty in the past… These are the names and official titles of the tomb owner, and the etching on the stone door is exactly the custom of those from the Western Regions, so we don't have to be surprised."
After hearing this, the group of eavesdroppers nodded repeatedly and secretly raised their thumbs in their hearts. Luo Lao Wai smiled and said: "Sure enough, Mr. Chen is very knowledgeable. I can't even recognize half of the bird characters in these ghostly drawings." After saying that, he nodded and called the engineer battalion commander: "Come on, prepare explosives for me quickly. Let's blast it." Get rid of these people’s dicks!”
Since ancient times, Xieling tomb robbers have used long hoe and big shovel, and they destroyed every tomb they dug without worrying about anything. They immediately left twenty or thirty engineers who were familiar with burying blastholes and asked them to drill holes in the tomb doors to blast them. Door. The giant bluestone door was so hard and heavy that only a white spot was left when the chisel was drilled down. This kind of work could not be completed in a moment. The rest took the opportunity to eat and sleep in the forest, recharging their energy and waiting to fight in the tomb.
In the afternoon, the blasts of the last few blast holes resounded through the mountains, and the tomb door weighing several kilograms was finally blown open. A lot of smoke was seen rumbling from the tomb door, and it only stopped when the Jade Rabbit rose to the east. The thieves believed that all the bad luck in the tomb passage had been blown away by the mountain wind. They went in to explore and cried out in pain. It turned out that the depths of the tomb passage were blocked by stone bars. The stone bars were surprisingly large, and the small ones weighed more than two hundred kilograms. . However, it was difficult to use explosives to blast the tomb passage, so we had to send engineers to cut out the cow's nostrils in the stone, tie them with thick ropes, and drive the mules and horses to forcefully drag them out. pole".
This was quite time-consuming and took a whole day and night of effort. Old Luo was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head. However, Blind Man Chen had long known that this kind of Yuan Dynasty tombs that "cut the mountain into a coffin and pierced the stone to hide" should be like this. If not With such an arrangement, wouldn’t it have been stolen over the past few hundred years? So he calmed down and ordered the thieves to excavate step by step. After all the stones were transported out, a stone door on the inside was cut open, and the long tomb passage was exposed. Judging from the material structure of these huge stone tomb doors, they all demolished the Taoist temples on Pingshan Mountain, and blocked the tomb passages with stone steps and stone beams to prevent thieves. The tomb passage at the entrance is still far away from the Hades Gate of the underground palace. , I don’t know how many portals there are, and there are inevitably some organizational arrangements. I immediately ordered everyone to be more careful and not to be careless.
A group of thieves lined up in front of the door. Some were carrying bags of temporarily transported herbs and lime to deal with poisonous insects and mirages lurking in the tomb; Inside, they built ladders across the mountains and bridges across the water; each person in the front row held a large bundle of straw with nine layers of leather hidden in the middle, all of which were soaked with water. The other group of thieves all carried rattan shields to protect themselves from the hidden dangers in the tomb. Fire and hidden arrows; Luo Laowai's troops had also smoked enough, and their guns were loaded with bullets, just waiting for the leader's order.
Blind Chen couldn't help but feel proud when he saw hundreds of his men standing in front of the tomb passage. Although this formation was not as good as the hundreds of thousands of troops who excavated the tombs of the Han Dynasty emperors, it was still impressive. Seeing that the Xiling bandits were already in the sunset, they seemed to be reviving under his leadership. He felt heroic and said loudly to everyone: "We are not born to be thieves. Just because the world is in chaos today, Instead of suffering in dire straits, it is better to be a hero in the green forest road and do some actions to gain strength, so as to impress the world. In the underground palace behind the tomb passage, there are gold and silver treasures buried by martyrs, such as bright objects Are they really the ancient corpses in the tomb? I wonder which one they didn't collect from the people? They were used during life, and they will be left to rot with them after death. Do you really think that the old man above your head has no eyes? Now it is the way of heaven. Cycle, what we take is to do justice for heaven, this is called retribution for retribution. Brothers, those who can do extraordinary things must be heroes. As the saying goes, if you are bold, you can conquer the world. If you are careful, you will not be able to do it, so let go of your courage. Come and fight me!"
The group of thieves responded in agreement and followed the leader into the tomb passage. Luo Laowai also pulled out his gun and added a few words for Blind Chen as he walked, shouting: "Everyone who moves forward will be rewarded, and whoever retreats… It’s inevitable that he will take advantage of me. I’ll fuck his grandma, don’t keep any of those dick-like weapons, I’ll take them all back to the handsome man’s house!”
Blind Man Chen is good at reading people's faces, and knows that although Mr. Luo Wai is a quick-tempered King of Hell, he also came from the Green Forest Road and is very loyal. Also, he will have to count on Blind Man Chen when robbing tombs in the future, so he will not betray him. Things. At this time, he, a warlord addicted to tomb robbing and voyeuristic, wanted to follow him to the underground palace. Naturally, there was no problem. However, some of the pistol company soldiers guarding the tomb gate were commanded by one of Luo Laowai's adjutants. Although it was his A close confidant is not very reassuring. He was very resourceful and ordered Miss Hong to stay with a group of Xiling bandits to avoid sudden changes.
The group of thieves covered their faces with black cloth and crowded into the tomb passage. In the front row were the thieves holding bundles of long straw and pigeon cages hanging on their waists. Behind them were people carrying lanterns, candles, and horse lanterns for lighting. This tomb passage was originally the dome corridor in front of the Alchemy Palace. The ancient passage was wide and flat, and could pass a carriage. Every ten steps on both sides, there were gorgeous stone pillars, about the height of a person, which were originally used to place lamps for lighting.
There has been a lot of rain in the mountains recently, and there is a slight water seepage in the tomb passage. There is a dripping sound in the quiet and dark distance. The tomb door has been closed for a long time, and the bad luck is difficult to eliminate. Everyone is worried that there are poisonous insect traps in this section of the tomb passage, so the advancement is extremely slow. Every step forward, light was left on the lamppost next to the wall for illumination. If there were any cracks in the wall, they were immediately blocked with lime.
After walking like this for three or four hundred steps, the tomb passage gradually became wider. However, due to the large number of thieves, one could not help but feel short of breath and depressed. The lights were also very dim due to the poor air. At the end is a vermilion brick wall, which blocks the tomb passage like a city wall. It does not reach the top. There is a round-arched city gate hole below. The two gates with copper nails are not tightly closed, but the door knockers are covered with iron chains. locked. The mute Kunlun Molec picked up the mountain axe, stepped forward and struck it with a few blows, breaking the chains.
Blind Chen raised his finger and pointed to the front, and ordered someone to use a centipede-mounted ladder to push up the copper-nailed door. Several thieves stretched out the four long ladders, pushed the front end against the door and pushed it, and the two doors creaked. With a rusty sound, he was slowly pushed away. The thieves held their breath and stared at the tomb door, not knowing what was going on inside. But as soon as the tomb door was opened, a woman's screams were heard from inside. The woman's screams were particularly thrilling in the tomb passage, and the brains of the thieves were all numb.
