Chapter 23 Chapter Thirteen

Situ Tianzuo pointed to the piles of white bones in the Bawanggou, and said to Tie Pobei: "Master, this is the place. Last night, Xiao Tie and I met a monster. The monster acted like a ghost. Xiaozi is here." Here, the monster took out his heart and liver and died." Situ Tianzuo said this, with lingering fear in his heart. Looking at the deep ditch and the big hole under the bones, Tie Pobei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Everyone will rest here tonight, and I want to see what the monster that eats people's hearts looks like." Everyone nodded in agreement, only Xu Anda and Xiao Li turned pale.Thinking of the scene where Yu Yu's heart and liver were taken out, the two still felt palpitating.The disciples of Xiling School then built a fire by the side of Bawanggou to cook.After everyone hastily ate their meal, the sky gradually darkened.Tie Pobei ordered everyone to lie in ambush on both sides of Bawanggou and not to make a sound, so as not to alarm the monster.

After about an hour, the crowd was anxiously waiting, the little iron eyes were sharp, "hush", and said in a low voice: "Come, come." Everyone looked up, under the bright moonlight, there was a black shadow like Like the wind, galloping towards this side.The black figure was as fast as a ghost, and in the blink of an eye it had already arrived in front of Bawanggou. Xiao Tie yelled loudly, and jumped out suddenly, with the meteor hammer in his hand caught in the strong wind, he quickly hit the shadow.Situ Tianzuo swung a single knife in his hand, and with a move of a hungry tiger, he also rushed towards the black shadow.

The black shadow was startled, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, he opened his hands together, and suddenly pierced through the shadows of Xiaotie and Situ Tianzuo's sword, light and hammer, and rushed towards Wu Wantong who was guarding the east. Wu Wantong only felt a foul smell, and he was terrified, he stabbed obliquely with his right hand.This came down so fast, if it stabbed the black shadow, it would not pierce the black shadow!Hei Ying seemed to have expected the power of this ground-exploring dragon, before reaching Wu Wantong, he turned around, and with a tiger pounce, he pounced on Lian Xing again!This black shadow attacked four people in an instant!Tie Pobei stood on the sidelines watching the battle, also secretly horrified.

Lian Xing, seeing the black shadow rushing towards him, immediately stabilized his figure, did not dodge or dodge, held the dagger in his hand, and at the moment when the black shadow was about to catch himself with both hands, he flipped his wrist! This time, it was faster than lightning, and with a "chi" sound, Hei Ying's hands were cut off at the wrists! Heiying let out a miserable cry, opened his eyes, looked at his hands, and couldn't believe that there were such fast knives in the world! Situ Tianzuo quietly came behind the black shadow, and slashed heavily at the black shadow's back!The black shadow was caught off guard, and was slashed firmly by Situ Tianzuo with a single knife. He fell to the ground with a "plop", blood gushing from his mouth, and he could not survive.

Because of his own reasons, Xiao Tie caused Xiao Yu to die tragically at the hands of Sombra, and he has always been brooding about it.At this time, seeing the black shadow fell to the ground, he couldn't help but stepped forward, and hit the black shadow on the head with the meteor hammer! Unexpectedly, with a low growl, Hei Ying suddenly jumped up from the ground, with the top of his head like a hammer, and viciously slammed into the little iron forehead!If he hit Xiao Tie's head this time, Xiao Tie would have a craniotomy! All the disciples of Xiling Sect exclaimed in unison! At this critical moment, an arm stretched out from the side, forcefully pulling Xiao Tie half a foot away!

Hei Ying's miss was already the end of his strength, and his entire figure fell from midair, with a "plop", and fell on the slope at the top of Bawanggou, dust flying. After pulling Xiaotie away from the danger with his arm, he immediately let go.Xiao Tie turned around, and it was Lian Xing who saved him.Xiao Tie nodded to show his thanks.Lian Xing smiled slightly. Xiao Tie walked up to the black shadow, took out the meteor hammer and hit the black shadow hard on the back. Under the severe pain of the black shadow, he looked up to the sky and spurted out a mouthful of blood.Blood splashed everywhere, and everyone hurriedly scattered away.After the black shadow spurted out the mouthful of blood, his body went limp, he prostrated himself on the ground, and did not move anymore.

People from the Xiling faction slowly surrounded them. Wu Wantong swiped the tip of the ground-exploring dragon at the back of the shadow, and only heard a "chi", and a big hole was torn from the clothes of the shadow, revealing the entire dark back, on which was engraved a small seal script in Qin Shu. "Shou" word.Everyone was puzzled, not knowing the meaning of the word "Shou" carved on Heiying's body. Little Tie wondered, "Grandpa, why do you see the word Shou engraved on this black shadow?" Tie Pobei said in a deep voice: "This black shadow must be the mausoleum guardian of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. According to legend, Qin Shihuang set up an army to protect the mausoleum after his death. This person must be the mausoleum guardian of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. "

Little Tie asked strangely: "Could it be that the army has been guarding from two thousand years ago to today?" Tie Pobei nodded: "It must be so. The emperors of all dynasties would station troops to guard the imperial mausoleum. You can see that after Genghis Khan died, he specially sent the descendants of eight heroes to guard it. It has continued until today. Eight heroes The descendants of Darghut also inherited the last wish of their ancestors, not to be an official, not to wear filial piety, not to obey corvee, not to pay taxes, and they have guarded the tomb to this day."

Everyone looked at the tomb guard of Qin Shihuang lying on the ground in a pool of blood, and the hatred for injustice seemed to have gradually subsided a lot in their hearts.Tomb guards and tomb robbers are always natural enemies, who can tell right from wrong? Tie Pobei sighed, and said: "Although the mausoleum guard killed one of our brothers, it is because he was doing his job, Junior Brother Wu, you should find two disciples and bury him. He has a whole body, so as not to be exposed to the wind and sun after death." Wu Wantong nodded in agreement, and then called two disciples of the Xiling Sect to come forward and carry the tomb guard's body down.

Situ Tianzuo said to Tie Pobei: "Master, look at the big hole at the bottom of the Bawanggou. The mausoleum guard came out of that big hole. Shall we go in and have a look? Maybe there are still mausoleum guards inside. The mausoleum guards will definitely obstruct us when we go to destroy the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin on this trip, so let's find out the reality of the mausoleum guards first." Tie Pobei nodded, feeling that what Situ Tianzuo said was reasonable.Immediately, he ordered Wu Wantong to be the guard on the top, and himself, Situ Tianzuo, Xiao Tie, and Lian Xing walked down the slope of Bawanggou to the bottom of the ditch, passed through the piles of bones piled up at the bottom of the ditch, and came to the big cave.

Everyone lit the torch, and under the light of the fire, the black hole was even more eerie against the white bones. Situ Tianzuo held the torch in his hand, jumped forward, and jumped down first.Xiao Tie, Lian Xing, and Tie Po Bei followed behind and jumped into the cave one after another.This hole was obviously dug out by the mausoleum guards to hide.The inside of the cave is not very big, about ten feet or so. The cave is covered with thick straw, and beside the straw, a lamp with a unique shape is quietly leaning against the side of the cave.It seems that the tomb guard lives here every day. Everyone was stunned.This lamp is exactly the same as the lamp in A Fang's sarcophagus, it seems to be made in the same mold, it is also in the shape of a barbarian, the shape is simple, not modern.Xiao Tie picked up the Huren lantern, looked left and right, and said to Tie Pobei, "Grandpa, there is also a Huren lantern here." Tie Pobei nodded: "It seems that this barbarian lamp must have a lot of origins, maybe it has something to do with Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Xiao Tie, pick up the barbarian lamp first." , hastily put the barbarian lamp into the luggage on his back. The people searched again, and there was nothing else in the small cave, and the Tie Po Bei beckoned everyone to exit the cave.Everyone stood at the bottom of the ditch, looking forward, the Bawang ditch looked more like a long black dragon in the darkness. Wu Wantong looked at Bawanggou, and slowly said: "Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, spent 300,000 people, but he still hasn't found the tomb passage of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Can the hundreds of us find it?" He was quite discouraged. Tie Po Bei glanced at him, and said, "Junior Brother Wu, although the Overlord Xiang Yu is the ancestor we enshrined in the upside down, but when he stole Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, he just relied on the large number of people and aimlessly to dig around For a while, how can you compare with us?" Wu Wantong was robbed by Tie Pobei and stopped talking. Everyone climbed to the top of Bawanggou and got together to discuss.Tie Pobei said: "The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is nearby. Let's set off early tomorrow morning and try to find the tomb passage before those Shatuo people find it." Situ Tianzuo frowned, and said: "Master, according to my disciples, it's not only our Xiling Sect who are coveting Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum near Bawanggou, but also Shatuo Turks who are elusive." Lian Xing said in a deep voice: "Miao Wang, the number one expert in Miaojiang, is also one. He must have come here for Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. We have to guard against it." Tie Pobei nodded, and said: "Lian Xing is right, as far as we know, there are already three groups of troops. We must not only guard against Shatuo Turks, but also King Miao." The number one master in Miaojiang, Tie Pobei couldn't help but have a headache.King Miao's poison is really pervasive, how to prevent it has to be carefully considered. Situ Tianzuo said: "Master, we should also be careful of the mausoleum guards who act like the wind." Tie Pobei nodded: "Near Bawanggou, there must be many mausoleum guards secretly staring at those of us who are in the fight. These mausoleum guards are even more surreptitious, everyone must be more careful." Tie Pobei took out the Shatuo human skin map from his coat, gently unfolded it, pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Look at this human skin map, it was drawn after the Shatuo people risked their lives to escape from the Qin Shihuang's tomb. In order to prevent the map from being lost, the ancestors of the Shatuo people engraved it on the backs of their descendants and passed it down from generation to generation. Therefore, only the Shatuo people know the exact location of Qin Shihuang’s tomb.” After a pause, he laughed and said: "Now that we have this map, we can get twice the result with half the effort. We don't need a blind man to ride a blind horse and search around. As long as we follow this map and follow the map, we will naturally find the tomb passage." Situ Tianzuo nodded and said, "What Master said is true." Tie Pobei pointed to the human skin map and continued: "Look at this map, there are two straight lines like swords going eastward, which must be the two Bawanggou. The long dragon that came is the dragon vein from Mount Qiao to Huashan. The imperial mausoleum is built on the longan of the dragon vein, and the tomb path is a few miles west of the longan. Let's find the location of the longan early tomorrow morning to determine the location of the tomb. Then go to find the tomb passage hidden deep in the ground. What do you think?" Everyone nodded yes. Tie Pobei suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said, "There is one more thing that is a bit troublesome." Everyone was puzzled, only Lian Xing smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed what Tie Pobei was thinking. Seeing Lian Xing smiling and saying nothing, Tie Pobei felt moved in his heart, and said to Lian Xing: "Lian Xing, since you already know what the old man is thinking, you must have a solution. You might as well say it out, and everyone can refer to it for details." .” Everyone looked at Lian Xing together. Lian Xing smiled again, and said slowly: "Since Senior Tie is inquiring, this junior has to say." After a pause, he continued: "When we find Longan tomorrow, the entrance to the tomb must not be far from Longan. If we are four or five hundred When people come to the tomb passage together, it is bound to be very eye-catching. Those Shatuo Turks and King Miao don't have to think about it, as long as they follow behind us, they can easily find the entrance of the tomb passage. When the enemy is in the dark, we In the Ming Dynasty. If the few of us entered the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and the disciples of the Xiling Sect outside could not resist the Miao King and the Shatuo Turks, the entire army would inevitably be wiped out, and the gains would outweigh the losses.” When everyone listened to Lian Xing's eloquence, they all felt that it was very reasonable.It's just how to deal with it, no one has a good plan. Tie Pobei frowned and said, "What should I do?"
