Miss Hong was familiar with the costumes of the theater troupe, and she concluded at a glance that the guy in the corridor was definitely not dressed like a Yuan Dynasty general, but an impermanent evil ghost wearing black clothes, boots and hats. Although the murderous shroud worn by the corpse during the burial was unusual, how could the nobles in the tomb be buried here wearing costumes? The costumes worn by the ancients during the Republic of China may have looked like those worn on the stage by Xi Yu, a ghost who dies in love , but where would anyone wear a black robe in a tomb that would seduce a dead ghost?
The thieves were all stunned when they heard this. Previously, I saw a paper-cut woman in Ming Dynasty paddy field clothes in the iron attic, and now there is a woman wearing a ghost performance robe. The real tomb in Pingshan Dan Palace has not yet been found, but it has encountered so many weird and strange things. Things like this can't help but give rise to a sense of self-danger. What if there really is black impermanence hidden in the mountain mist?
To rob and dig up graves is all based on a moment of courage. The more uneasy you feel, the more suspicious you are of giving birth to ghosts. Therefore, there has always been a saying that if you fight against ghosts, you don't believe in ghosts, and if you believe in ghosts, you don't fight against them. The Xiling group of thieves have always believed that the threats in the ancient tombs mainly come from agencies and fake corpses. Very few people talk about taboos such as ghosts and spirits. But the black-robed ghost had just been seen by everyone. The main entertainment activities in that era were listening to books and watching plays. The relatively vulgar folk operas included ghost plays, fox plays, cat plays, etc., which all relied on exaggerating ghosts and foxes. The plot is used to attract the audience. The seductress in black robe and black hat is the main character in this kind of drama. Because it is closer to real life, it is easier for people to believe it.
Seeing that people were panicking and worrying that his brothers would lose their strength, Blind Chen said: "I think the text of the play is mostly made up. Eighty-nine out of ten plays are just made up. How can we believe it to be true?" It's said that it's an impermanent ghost that seduces souls and threatens lives. In today's world, even gods can't hide from the smoke of foreign guns and cannons. No matter what is in this corridor, let's send two rows of guns over first." After saying this, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates. He raised his rifle, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, and fired at random in the corridor.
The Partridge Whistle saw a group of thieves about to shoot. He had a change of heart and hurriedly told Blind Man Chen not to use guns. The reason why the chickens were singing strangely must be because the dead man in black robe had something poisonous on him. , don't rely on the power of the equipment and be careless, otherwise the poison will be splashed out, and this tunnel will be inaccessible.
Blind Chen suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "All heroes have the same idea. The bullets in the gun are for courage. I was about to ask the boys to use hooks and poles to set up." Then he ordered a dozen of his men to come up. He walked forward, looked out into the fog and hung a centipede on the mountain ladder, put it on the black-robed man and pulled him backwards.
The thieves took action and dragged the man in black robe who was sitting cross-legged with a bamboo ladder into the iron wall. The rest of the men had their guns loaded and their knives unsheathed, and they surrounded them as if facing a formidable enemy. . After dragging it closer, I saw that it was indeed a strange-looking zombie, that is, an ancient corpse that was dead but not rotten.
This black-robed male corpse was tall and fat, sitting cross-legged, with a strange finger in his hand. He was indeed wearing the outfit of a ghost on the stage. He was pulled by the bamboo ladder, and the clothes that had begun to decay long ago were all in pieces. It cracked open, revealing that the swollen flesh on the body was white as if soaked in water, and pus leaked out when touched with a bamboo ladder. There was black powder in the ears, eyes, mouth, and nose. He may have died from bleeding from the seven orifices. But there was no way to tell which dynasty or generation this outfit was from. The boots and robes were all rotten, so it was expected that he had died a long time ago.
When the thieves saw that they were just stiff ancient corpses, they felt relieved and cursed one after another: "Damn ghost, you looked like this. You almost scared the courage of your grandfathers just now…"
Blind Chen felt that the body was dead in a strange way, so he led a group of thieves to take a closer look. The ancient corpse was filled with highly toxic poison, but it did not appear to be the common centipede poison in Pingshan Mountain. The poison spread all over the body, so it must have been poisoned before death. Worried about being contaminated with poisonous pus, he turned over the corpse with bamboo sticks and sorted out the things on the dead body one by one. All he saw were medicine bottles and jars, as well as puppet humanoid limbs made of paper and wood, and a large The skin bag was filled with dark and hard beans. Everyone was confused when they saw it, and they didn't know what these various things were.
Finally, a famous gangster used a bamboo stick to pick out a gold medal from the black robe around the waist of the corpse. There were characters cast on it. Both Chen Xiazi and Partridge Whistle recognized the ancient documents. When they took a closer look, they saw that it was four vigorous and upright old men. The seal script reads "Guanshan Taibao".
When the two of them saw this object, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up in their minds like dark clouds in the sky, and they suddenly remembered a past event that had been sealed for many years. It turned out that there were other tomb robbers in the Pingshan Ancient Tomb, and someone had already arrived first! The two said in unison: "It turns out to be the Taibao of Guanshan of the Ming Dynasty!"
Blind Chen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then hurriedly had the body dragged to the brick furnace for burning elixirs and burned. Then he turned to ask Partridge Whistle: "The matter of mountain viewing is complicated and confusing. In the past, it was just a legend and unofficial history that could not be made true." , It turns out that there really is a Guanshan Taibao in this world. My virtuous brother has traveled all over the world, have you ever heard of the details?"
What Partridge Whistle knew about this matter was not much more than Blind Man Chen. According to legend, among the tomb robbers in the world, the only brands and traditions that have names and traditions are Faqiu, Mojin, Bishan, and Xiling. It is said that there are four branches, but in fact there are three branches, because Faqiu Tianguan and Mojin Xiaowei are the original ones. It's the same thing. After the Faqiu Seal was destroyed, only Captain Mojin was left in the world, and the rest were Xiling Litu, who had a large number of people, and Banshan Taoist, who was full of tricks.
Except for these three branches, they are all scattered thieves and civilian thieves. The ones with a little bit of fame are just the ones from the south who carry corpses and dig through the trunks. The rest of the roosters and dog thieves are not worth mentioning. However, in the history of tomb robbing in recent hundreds of years, an extremely mysterious legend has always been circulated. It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a group of rebels called "Guanshan Taibao". They were good at observing mountains and pointing out mysteries. They secretly excavated many emperors' tombs. No one knew their methods and motives for robbing tombs. Once they did something, even the gods would be confused. He couldn't guess. The legend is limited to this, and people in the world know nothing more about them. It is difficult to judge whether the legendary mountain viewing deeds are true or false.
Unexpectedly, today I bumped into the body of a mountain-watching Taibao in the tunnel behind the exposed house in Pingshan. Seeing the strangeness of this man's attire and behavior and the things he carried, it was really strange that he had never seen anything in his life. Blind man Chen thought that among the catty thieves who visited hundreds of houses in the past, there was a good practice of "bone shrinking method", which is to steal and steal. If you find a way, you can drill a dog hole or a mouse hole into a closed courtyard, steal money and property, and then sneak back the same way.
But this evil method is limited by time. Once delayed, the thief will die in the house. But after all, this is just a rumor in the market. Although there is a bone-shrinking technique that can remove handcuffs and shackles, it only removes the joints of the body and cannot drill holes for cats and dogs. But there is also a puppet technique that is similar to the corpse control technique. It can control paper man or paper dog to get into the cracks in the door wall and steal. The control principle is not to attach the soul to the paper, but to drive a large number of insects and ants to steal. The specific situation is described in detail. Even a blind man doesn’t know.
Looking at the paper-cut man in the Iron Pavilion and the Guanshan Taibao who died outside the gate, it seems that they used evil magic to steal the elixirs in the Iron Pavilion. In order to avoid being bitten by the mountain centipedes, the Guanshan tomb robber was here. He poured potion into his body and was able to sneak into this place, but it seemed that the pattern of the Iron Tower Corpse Gui was beyond his expectation. It took too long and he died here after his skills were exhausted.
Chen Xiazi deduced seven or eight points based on his own experience, but the way of tomb robbing by the Taibao of Guanshan in the Ming Dynasty was so strange that even an expert would not be able to tell the details. In order to rob the Pingshan ancient tomb, the Xiling group of thieves tried their best, not only spending money and materials, but also losing many people. However, they unexpectedly encountered a "second entry into the palace", which was hundreds of years too late for the Guanshan Taibao. .
However, seeing that this black man died in the tunnel, with no visible treasures on him, and no one collected his body, this is enough to show that although he entered Pingshan Mountain to steal the treasure first, he did not have any other accomplices accompanying him. If there is really a large ancient tomb in the mountain, the tomb chamber Most of the things inside are still in good condition.
Blind Chen felt a little calmer when he thought of this. From ancient times to the present, there has never been any grudge between the organized tomb robbing organizations. They are completely in a state of non-interference with each other. If anyone is a step later than others, when they enter the ancient tomb for a fight, they will find the tomb. There were other people who had visited the tomb beforehand, and they were just considering themselves unlucky. Therefore, the thieves did not take it too seriously when they found an ancient corpse with a mountainside sign in the tomb. After all, it had been dead for two dynasties. The ancients burned the body in the brick furnace secret room and paid no attention to it.
After taking a look at the treasures and artifacts that had been evacuated under the old osmanthus tree, the bandits sent out a few clever spies to explore the tunnel first. The rest of the group followed Blind Man Chen and Partridge Whistle behind. This tunnel built in the heart of the mountain is winding and twists and turns. It slowly goes up the mountain. After walking out for a while, the stone path gradually becomes higher and higher, and suddenly turns into a stone staircase. Climbing up it is another narrow cave. The cover of the secret passage had been removed, and everyone came out of the cave with candles. In front of them was the ruins of a palace with broken rafters and broken tiles.
As expected, as Blind Chen expected, this was the back hall where he first entered. The passage between the back hall and the Dan Palace's Wuliang Hall was sealed with huge rocks and lead water by the Yuan people. This palace was burned down when Chen Xiazi and others fled. The secret passage connecting the Danjing is hidden in the rockery in the garden. It is extremely hidden. If you don't drill out from inside, it will be difficult to find it from the back hall.
When he arrived here, Blind Chen couldn't help but feel a little anxious. All the centipedes hidden in the mountains had been wiped out, but he still couldn't find any trace of the tomb. There were doubtful tombs everywhere, and he couldn't help but curse the Yuan people for being cunning. Among all the dynasties, the most difficult to steal is the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty. Because of the compatibility of various cultures in the Yuan Dynasty, even if they were the same aristocrats, their burial methods and customs were very different. The layout and site selection of the mausoleum have many customs from Mobei in the Western Regions, and are mixed with the mystery of the Feng Shui and Dragon Veins of the Central Plains. The box tombs buried upside down are the product of this special period, so the craftsmen who dug them upside down robbed the tombs of Yuan Dynasty. Most of the tombs were excavated by mistake. The ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty have always been the "blind spot" in the tomb robbing industry.
At this time, Chen Blind's subordinates gave him an idea. Since he couldn't find the treasure in the tomb, why not use the "urn listening method" to find out? This urn listening method is to dig a hole in the mountain, bury an urn large enough to hold a person, and then the tomb robber crouches in the urn, which is equivalent to being in the ground, using the giant urn to amplify the ear sound and listen to the underground The orientation of space.
Blind Chen shook his head, this was obviously a layman's talk. The urn listening method only detects the ground below the position where the urn is buried. It is mostly used in the soil layer. The mountain of Pingshan is sloping and full of blue rocks and boulders, so this method cannot be used at all. In addition, when I first visited Pingshan Mountain, I had already heard about this mountain using the word "hear". I could only discern that there were vast caves in the heart of the mountain, one after another. Because there were too many caves, the accuracy of the underground echo was affected. Even if Chen Xiazi His hearing is superior to that of ordinary people, and he cannot discern the contours of the interior of the mountain, so he does not need to speak.
Now I have searched through the Wengcheng, Wuliangdan Palace, Corpse Well, Iron Pavilion and Back Hall, but I can't find where the Yuan Dynasty general is buried. I have to wonder if there is no seal or tree on the tomb site. The tomb was also backfilled with soil, leaving no gaps in space. If the tomb is really rammed with earth, it is impossible to find it in the complex terrain of Pingshan. The Yuan people did not follow the Feng Shui situation, and I am afraid that they moved to touch Jin Xiaowei to help, and it was difficult to use the gold to fix the acupoints to penetrate Huanglong.
However, Blind Chen also understood that although he had obtained many rare things this time, he could not find the real tomb. Even if he lost his hand and lost such a huge amount of money, he finally came back in vain. He was the helmsman. From now on, the leader of thieves will never have the face to argue with the people in the world.
When he was in trouble, Partridge Whistle suddenly had a plan. Although Wen Di's method of robbing tombs was miraculous, the scale of the Dan Palace inside Ping Mountain was so huge that the group of thieves devoted all their spiritual life to it, but ignored the topography of the mountain. Pingshan is like a treasure bottle dropped to the ground by an immortal holding elixirs. The mountain is shaped like an ancient vase, and the belly of the mountain is as hollow as the belly of the bottle. The alchemy palaces and treasure halls are all built in it. Therefore, all tomb robbers who come here keep their eyes on the caves. The bottle mouth on the top of the mountain was ignored.
Ancient mausoleums were all built underground. Even for mountain mausoleums that were cut into coffins and pierced through stone for storage, the tombs were deep in the mountains. But how can the ancient tombs at Pingshan be judged by common sense? Maybe the location of the tomb is completely opposite to the ancient tombs in the world. It may be built at the top of UJ, but at the bottom of the mountain, there are empty tombs and suspicious tombs to disturb the view.
The top of Pingshan Mountain is extremely dangerous. If the ancient tomb is really hidden on it, the large group of Xiling bandits will not be able to move away at all. This contrary strategy is indeed unexpected. However, Partridge Whistle is very clever and has rich experience in tomb robbing. After two trips in the mountains, he guessed this possibility.
In terms of wisdom and strategy, Chen Xiazi is not inferior to the Taoist priest Xi Yu who leads the world. However, he leads the thieves in the world. His plans are huge and his personnel are complicated. When encountering difficulties, he is not as clear as Partridge Shao with a clear mind and a thorough spiritual platform. Therefore, Never thought of this section. At this time, when he heard the partridge whistle, he suddenly woke up and said: "What a few words to wake up the dreamer!" The Yuan people built the tomb in Pingshan Dan Palace with the intention of suppressing the Dongyi. This is " It is true that it is rare to use the method of "wearing off victory" to use mausoleums to protect objects. However, the method used by Zhalou Mohist to build a Yangzhai is to locate it high in the house. The Pingshan Ancient Tomb must be hidden on the top of the mountain.
