Chapter 4 Chapter Three

Mao Hu screamed, and he had already crawled out of the cave he found.He was holding a bone in his hand, and an iron plaque covered in mud, and he called himself to find it as soon as he came out.Bai Yeyou hurried over, and Mao Hu handed him the iron plate, he thought about it, then lightly scrutinized the sign, and said, "This is a bronze ware." Fang Ding and Daxia also crawled out of the cave they dug themselves. "Is it real?" Fang Ding asked. "Looking at the quality, this bronze sign is from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and there are still many gluttonous patterns on it." Bai Yeyou said.

"How to say?" Fang Ding asked again. "The gluttonous pattern is also called the beast face pattern. Look, does the pattern on the bronze piece look like a ferocious beast?" When everyone nodded, Bai Yeyou continued, "The gluttonous pattern was originally created by many people in ancient times. A collection of ferocious beasts with huge heads and big mouths. They are greedy and eat everything they see. The appetite is unprecedented. Later, they were imitated by the ancients as textures on bronze wares, which generally appear in the characteristics of ferocious animals, with eye patterns, Nose pattern, horn pattern, eyebrow pattern, mouth pattern, ear pattern, etc. The Taotie pattern is ferocious and solemn, rigorous in structure, and exquisitely crafted. It is a fine production of bronze wares in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, representing the highest level of bronze wares. If This time it’s really the giant tomb of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, then we will be prosperous.”

"Mao Hu, you're lucky." Fang Ding smiled at Mao Hu. "Look at this." Mao Hu threw the bone in his hand to Fang Ding. "Fuck you, it's so dirty, why do you give it to me?" Fang Ding didn't try to connect the bone, and let the bone fall to the ground.He walked up to Bai Yeyou and said, "Looks like Gui Ye and his gang really found a big tomb, these bastard sons." "Where is it, the ancient tomb of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, I think there must be a large number of bronze funerary objects inside. This is a very precious treasure. If it falls into the hands of Lord Ghost and the others, it will be lost to the East, and it is a national shame. "Bai Yeyou said with a sigh.

"Is it worth it?" The hero came over and asked. "Isn't that nonsense?" Fang Ding slapped the hero, and cursed again, "In these days, don't spend money, the little Japanese devils don't die for a day, and we don't have a good day. Ask for money What are you doing?" "Fang Ding, do you want to continue digging?" Mao Hu asked. "Are you stupid, kid? Hurry up and dig, you can't wait for the ghost masters to come, can you?" Fang Ding yelled, and Mao Hu ran to the tunnel he dug with a shovel in his hand, and glanced down.Fang Ding stopped him: "Wait a minute, let's be more careful this time, since it is an ancient tomb, the yin energy inside must not be weaker than other tombs."

"How?" asked the hero. At this time, the four of them gathered around the entrance of Mao Hu's cave, and they all poked their eyes into the cave. "Hero, don't ask so many questions, go get that chicken from my bag." Fang Ding said. "Ah? There is something in your bag that keeps shaking. It turned out to be a chicken." The hero said in surprise, and Mao Hu and Bai Yeyou couldn't help but glance at Fang Ding.They didn't know what mystery Fang Ding was going to make. On the way, the three of them noticed that there was something alive in Fang Ding's bag, but they didn't ask. Fang Ding said it was a chicken at this time, and everyone was a little disappointed. .

"Fang Ding, isn't this your old rooster that crows endlessly every morning?" The hero grabbed a red-crowned, gold-bodied and barefoot rooster from the bag and handed it to Fang Ding, then just ask. "Hey, it's true, Fang Ding, aren't you afraid that your father will take care of you?" Mao Hu also teased after seeing the rooster. "I can't control that much, I've got a clever plan, you go and find me a rope." Fang Ding pushed Mao Hu. Mao Hu turned around and took out a rope from his bag and threw it to Fang Ding. After Fang Ding got the rope and the big cock, the rope swung to bind the big cock's claws, and then took out a dagger from his waist.In the light of the blood moon, the rooster screamed, and Fang Ding's dagger had already cut through the neck of the rooster, blood splashed out, and the chicken feathers flew.The big rooster was still half dead, as soon as Fang Ding let go, it struggled on the spot, looking extremely painful.Fang Ding stood up and said, "It's just right." With one kick, he kicked the big cock into the cave dug by Maohu. The connection between the newly dug tunnel and the tomb.As the rope in Fang Ding's hand gradually shortened, it was conceivable that the big rooster had entered the depths of the tomb with the rope.

"Fang Ding, what are you doing?" Mao Hu didn't understand. "That's right, it's so mysterious." The hero didn't understand either. "You guys don't understand this. I'm just tentatively looking at the omens in this ancient tomb. In the tomb robbery industry, it's called 'fishing for good and bad luck'." Fang Ding held the rope holding the big cock tightly with one hand. while talking. "Fishing good or bad luck?" Mao Hu shook his head. "How do you calculate this?" the hero asked. "If it's good luck, then there's nothing. If it's black evil, it's miserable." Fang Ding said.

"What kind of tragedy?" The hero asked immediately, Fang Ding's words were suspicious, which was a bit scary. "We're all going to die." Fang Ding said coldly with his eyes turning white. "Why didn't I hear you say it before?" Mao Hu asked. "I know a lot of things, how can I tell you all? This is a huge Shang and Zhou tomb. I think this ancient tomb must be very evil, so I have to use the method of 'fishing for good and bad' to try it out." "How long will it take to test?" Mao Hu asked. Fang Ding didn't answer.

"If there is a bad omen, can't we go down?" the hero asked. "Next, of course, with me here, what are you afraid of? Otherwise, we will be reduced to sinners if we are attacked by the ghosts and others. Are we worthy of our ancestors? I am doing this test now because I want to have a Get ready, the so-called sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood. Haha, haha, can that bit of evil spirit still restrain my Fang Ding?" Fang Ding laughed. "Is sharpening a knife not mistaken for woodcutters?" Bai Yeyou murmured beside him. "Fang Ding, what you said is really good." The hero cheered up and said.

"Okay, I'm hooked." Fang Ding yelled, but saw the rope he was holding in his hand suddenly twitch, and suddenly there were several screams from the big rooster in the cave. Although the sound was dull, it was still faintly audible.When the rope was pulled, a force was pulled into the cave, Fang Ding leaned forward, and was almost pulled into the cave by the rope. "Grandma's, what is it?" Fang Ding grasped the rope tightly, and moved his body back, as if tug-of-war with something in the cave.The other three all looked into the cave, and they also wanted to know what was hooked inside.Seeing Fang Ding's tense expression, they felt thumping in their hearts, and they didn't know if Fang Ding's "fishing for good and evil" would work.But they never questioned Fang Ding's words. Judging from the situation, it seemed that it was not auspicious.

"Help, gentlemen." Fang Ding was still tugging on the other end of the rope, looking quite strenuous.The rope seemed to be stuck in the cave, no matter how Fang Ding pulled it out, he couldn't pull it out. It is also unknown what was holding the rope in the cave. Fang Ding called for help, and the three hurried over to help Fang Ding pull the rope. A few old men pulled hard, and the rope flew out of the cave with ease.At the same time, a black object fell out along with the rope, and Fang Ding shouted: "Be careful not to be bitten by that thing." Everyone watched the lump of object hitting them, with a big mouth open. With a single fang, bloody spat out chicken feathers.Several people ran away in fright. "Pfft", the thing finally fell to the ground. Fang Ding ran up at this time, holding a shovel in his hand and slapped it hard, the thing was smashed to pieces immediately. "Fang Ding, what is this?" The hero asked in panic. "It's okay, it's just a skull." Fang Ding replied, and the three surrounded him.Fang Ding gently lifted the shovel, and under the shovel was indeed a skull with black messy hair. Under Fang Ding's vigorous shovel, the skull was broken, the fangs were broken, and only two black eyeballs were sunken in the eyes. It was rolling inside, and its mouth was smeared with stinky chicken blood and chicken feathers. It seemed that this thing took the bait after smelling the blood of the big cock. "Fang Ding, how do you calculate this?" Bai Yeyou asked. "This ancient tomb is very evil." Fang Ding thought. "Is there anything ominous inside?" Mao Hu asked. The hero pushed Mao Hu and said, "Didn't you see it? There are so many nonsense." "Then do you still want to go down?" Mao Hu turned his face and asked Fang Ding. "Excuse me, but I've agreed, wait a moment and be careful, the aura is overwhelming, if I can't take care of it, it's up to your own fate." Fang Ding looked at the three of them seriously.The three nodded at the same time, following Fang Ding for so long, this was the first time that something was wrong, something ominous, or what kind of horror they would encounter.However, Fang Ding was not afraid, the three of them were still very convinced by Fang Ding, if there were any supernatural, Fang Ding would not let them suffer any harm.Fang Ding is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Tonight's tomb robbery encountered a blood moon, and "fishing for good and bad luck" caught a bad omen, but with Fang Ding around, they had nothing to worry about. "I'll go down first." Mao Hu volunteered to take a shovel and jumped down the cave he dug. After Mao Hu had completely opened up the path between the cave and the tomb passage, he let out a cry. "Bai Yeyou, hero, you two go in first, and I'll be in the rear." Fang Ding said, each of them gave a bag, and Bai Yeyou and hero jumped down the cave and climbed into the tomb passage with the bags in hand.Fang Ding lit an oil lamp, explored into the cave and followed behind. Mao Hu was in the front, Bai Yeyou and Daxia were in the middle, Fang Ding was in the back, and the four moved slowly in the tomb passage. "Did you see anything?" Fang Ding handed the oil lamp in his hand to Mao Hu. "This tomb passage is so deep, Fang Ding, we haven't seen the end yet." Mao Hu said with an oil lamp in front of him a few times. "Yeah, it's really strange. We've been here for a long time." Daxia said depressingly. "Continue to climb forward." Fang Ding urged. "The air here is very stuffy, I can't stand it." Bai Yeyou was a little bit out of control, Fang Ding pulled him back and said, "You are a scholar, hehe, a scholar is a scholar, you go out first, hero, follow Bai Ye You change your position." The hero responded, then retracted his body and let Bai Yeyou go back, Bai Yeyou changed places with the hero, and then changed places with Fang Ding. "Fang Ding, I really can't do it anymore." Bai Yeyou had difficulty breathing. "Go, go, just wait for us outside. This tomb passage is indeed very deep, if you go any further, you might faint." After Fang Ding finished speaking, Mao Hu yelled: "Dizzy, ask the hero to give him artificial respiration." "Mao Hu, are you courting death?" The hero kicked Mao Hu. "Okay, stop making trouble, Bai Yeyou, go outside." Fang Ding said, Bai Yeyou nodded and crawled out of the cave.At this time, Fang Ding, Da Xia, and Mao Hu were left in the tomb passage, and Fang Ding gave each of them a black pill. "What?" the hero asked. "It's nothing, eat it, or you'll suffocate later, it's for smooth flow." Fang Ding said. "Bai Yeyou is really good. I can't bear to climb a hole." The hero complained to Bai Yeyou after swallowing the pill. "What nonsense are you talking about? Bai Yeyou is just a scholar." Fang Ding defended, Mao Hu in front of him suddenly screamed, Fang Ding climbed up and asked, "What? What's wrong?" There was nothing wrong with it. There was a torn rooster corpse lying on the ground, the chicken blood was spilled all over the ground, and the chicken head was thrown aside. The hero saw it and asked, "I said Maohu, what are you doing? You are scared like this even by a chicken." "Didn't you see clearly?" Mao Hu turned on the oil lamp again, and the light flickered.The hero was depressed, and asked: "Aren't you frightened by this dead chicken? Then what's wrong with you?" Fang Ding slowly moved up, frowned, and Mao Hu said: "Fang Ding, tell me, what's wrong with you?" What to do? You have the final say. Which tomb path to take?" When Mao Hu finished speaking, the hero realized that the tomb passage in front of him was actually divided into three parts.Suddenly there were three more tomb passages. Facing the three dark holes, the hero trembled a little. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was vertigo.At this time, Fang Ding patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hero, you go first, Mao Hu goes second, and I go third." "Hey, Fang Ding, is this bad?" Mao Hu trembled a little. "What's wrong? Are you scared?" Fang Ding asked. "There is only one oil lamp, the three of us, and I always feel that this place is a bit weird. Originally, there was only one tomb passage leading into the tomb. Now there are three more tomb passages. Don't you think it's strange?" Mao Hu said, The tombs dug are all one tomb passage, and I am a little bit overwhelmed at this time.Fang Ding sighed, and said: "I said that you are short-sighted. Anyway, I have led you for so long. Can't you figure this out? There is only one correct tomb passage, and two are false. Don't think that our ancestors are very knowledgeable." Stupid, won't design some fake tomb passages." "Then what should we do after we go in?" the hero asked. "If you find it or you can't find it, go back the same way, and then go in together after confirming the correct one." "Then what should we do if we encounter something strange?" Mao Hu said. "What's weird?" Fang Ding asked. "That's right, dead people, zombies, etc. Didn't you say that this ancient tomb is evil?" "Have you seen that kind of thing?" Fang Ding asked again. "Yes, I saw it just now." Mao Hu was still very afraid. "It's all hallucinations, hallucinations, you know? Let's go, let's go, I'll give you the lights if you're afraid, hero, you have good eyesight, and mine are not bad either. Let's go in the dark and have a look." Fang Ding said, While pushing Mao Hu into a tomb passage, then he and the hero chose a tomb passage and got in. Fang Ding chose the first tomb passage, which was also the one closest to him. As soon as he climbed in, he immediately felt a strange smell in his nose.He quickly held his breath and groped slowly. Although the tomb passage was extremely dark, it wasn't too dark, and he could barely see something with the naked eye.Besides, when he was studying with Li Jinshou, he had practiced eye skills, and was a tomb robber. Without eye skills, of course, the so-called eye skills are also to improve his eyesight and the ability to see things at night, and he has not yet achieved perspective or night vision. Effect. Moving in the tomb passage, after a while, he touched his head, he stretched out his hand and touched his eyes, but there was no way to go, it was a dead end.When he was stunned, his feet slipped suddenly, and he was lying on top of a pit. When his own gravity came, the cover of the pit slipped, and his whole body fell down the pit.When he was alert, a rope rushed out of his hand and shot it to the top of the tomb passage. The rope tied himself to prevent him from falling. He let out a breath, looked down, and saw that the pit was full of white skeletons.A burst of stench came up from inside, it was really unbearable.He clung to the rope and was half-hanging over the big hole. It wasn't a fun place.He quickly moved up with the rope, because he had already seen that this was not a good place. Really, Fang Ding just exerted his strength and wanted to climb up. Suddenly there was a sound of bones cracking under the pit, "beep beep beep", several screams came, and the white skeleton at the bottom of the pit was suddenly churning.A few skeletons suddenly jumped out from the skeletons all over the floor, and looked up at Fang Ding who was struggling to climb up with evil mouths.These skeletons should be regarded as the most complete ones. Some of them fell apart and were still lying on the ground. These skeletons were full of blood and stench, and kept roaring at Fang Ding.The teeth and claws seemed to want to eat Fang Ding, Fang Ding entered their territory, their resentment gathered, and evil broke out. "Hmph, sample." Fang Ding was not afraid at all. He knew that this pit was the so-called carrion pool. He threw the buried people into a pool and let their corpses rot slowly in the pool, and then fermented. The fermented corpse acquires a half-dead vitality.Yes, these corpses are almost reborn under the influence of the gas fermented from the accumulation and compression of their own dead bodies, except that a piece of flesh is missing, and these carrion skeletons serve as the protection of the ancient tomb. . After knowing the origin of this pool, Fang Ding hastened to climb up, as long as he escaped to the outside of the pool, he didn't have to worry about it.He was also glad that he was smart and didn't forget to bring his sleeve crossbow. The sleeve crossbow can shoot out an iron arrow and then hold the rope. Homeopathy worked. However, the skeletons seemed impatient, and after smelling Fang Ding, they salivated. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The first skeleton had already jumped up, stretched out its long claws and swept towards the high Fang Ding. Fang Ding was about six or seven meters high from the skeletons. When the skeleton jumped up, it was five or six meters tall. With the stretched arms and bones, the fingers and claws were as sharp as knives, and a cool wind flowed from Fang Ding's armpit. Swipe over.The skeleton had jumped to his crotch, stretched out its claws, reached for the bag, and hooked it straight to Fang Ding's belly. "Bastard, you bastard." Fang Ding cursed, retracted his body, turned his leg and kicked that skeleton's head, and the skeleton fell down with a buzzing sound. It seems that the skeleton didn't have any thoughts , it didn't expect Fang Ding to attack itself.The skeleton fell and hit the skeleton in the pit. After a snap, the skeleton was smashed to pieces. After the first skeleton was defeated, the rest of the skeletons screamed and rushed towards Fang Ding one after another. "It's over, it's over." Fang Ding didn't want to play anymore, what he thought was that Mao Hu and Da Xia would be in danger when he encountered such a pool of rotting corpses?When he thought of this, Fang Ding stepped up his strength and quickly climbed up the carrion pool.With all his strength, his speed is also fast, three times and two times, like a monkey climbing a tree, he jumped up with a whoosh. Watching the skeletons that were about to attack him rush into the air one by one. Fang Ding laughed loudly, and as soon as he took the rope, he picked up a few big stones and threw them at the arrogant skeletons in the carrion pool.One stone killed one, and after killing several, Fang Ding turned around and crawled out of the tomb.He couldn't stay any longer, he couldn't just ignore Mao Hu and Daxia, he knew in his heart that this time he encountered a really difficult ancient tomb, after doing tomb robbers for so long, this time he finally encountered a really challenging one ancient tomb.After seeing the rotting corpse pool, Fang Ding was a little worried. He took the members of the Yeyue Society with him, and the first thing he did was to protect their lives. This time, Fang Ding had to act carelessly. Soon he crawled out of the tomb passage he chose, and returned to the passage outside that came in. "Fang Ding, you finally appeared, how about your one?" Mao Hu and Da Xia lived in peace, but their faces were covered with mud and they were downcast. When they saw Fang Ding coming out, they asked. "It's good that you are fine." Fang Ding breathed a sigh of relief. "What's wrong?" Fang Ding shook his head and said, "Looking at you two, it must be a dead end?" Both Mao Hu and Da Xia nodded. Mao Hu said: "Then continue to dig holes? This is an ancient tomb with high gold content." "We have to think of a way." Fang Ding thought for a while. "Is there any way? There is no way to go." The hero said. "Didn't you find it? The tomb passage design of this ancient tomb is very strange." Fang Ding said while thinking. "Is there? I didn't find it." Mao Hu raised his head and looked around, shaking the oil lamp, but he didn't find anything wrong. "Careless guy." Fang Ding patted Mao Hu's head, and continued, "When I just came out, I came out in the tomb passage that Mao Hu chose, which doesn't make sense." As soon as he reminded, everyone Xia immediately screamed and said: "Fang Ding, you are right, it is very strange, I came out of the tomb passage you chose." "That's right, I entered through the third tomb passage I chose, but I came out from the hero's tomb passage." Mao Hu also found out. "Fang Ding, how do you say this?" The hero looked at Fang Ding. "I'm holding an oil lamp. I can't have climbed the wrong tomb passage." Mao Hu shook his head, not understanding. "The design of this tomb passage is called 'Nine Curved Ileum', and it cannot be designed by a non-savvy designer. It seems that we have met an expert this time." Fang Ding said it after thinking a lot. "Is it a nine-curved ileum?" the hero asked. "That's right, the tomb passage here is like a maze, going back and forth, extending in all directions. But none of the passages is correct, confusing the direction of the tomb robbers, and finally trapping the tomb robbers firmly. Sometimes, such a tomb passage will The tomb robber was trapped to death. Why is it called 'Jiuqu ileum'? I think that's probably what it means." Fang Ding said. "Ah, a maze? It's so dangerous, so dangerous." Mao Hu sighed. "What? What's so dangerous?" Da Xia asked. "We can still run out, otherwise we will be trapped inside." After Mao Hu finished speaking, the hero also sighed. "Thanks to the person who designed this ancient tomb." Fang Ding sneered. "Ah, Fang Ding, can't you? Thank you for being almost trapped here?" Mao Hu was surprised. "Yes, the designer of this tomb passage is not good enough, so this so-called 'nine-curved ileum' is not perfect at all, and has many loopholes. For example, the three of us can climb out with luck after entering." Fang Ding finished. At that time, Mao Hu and Da Xia suddenly realized, and Fang Ding said, "Half of luck is good, and half is to blame each other." "Then what shall we do next?" Mao Hu asked. "Fang Ding, it seems that this ancient tomb is not easy to rob. Let's go back and let the ghost masters figure it out by themselves, and trap all those bastards, grandsons, traitors and traitors here." The hero said. "No, I have a way to find the tomb." Fang Ding smiled secretly, but it frightened Mao Hu and Da Xia. They were already planning to quit, but when Fang Ding said, the two cheered up again. Come.Fang Ding said: "It's not difficult to find the tomb of the 'Nine Curved Ileum', hehe, as long as we dig down, I guarantee we will find the tomb." "Dig it down?" Daxia pointed to the ground. "That's right, if my guess is right, the tomb and the treasure are under the tomb passage. The 'nine-curved ileum' is used to deceive people. The design of this ancient tomb must be divided into two floors, with the first floor at the bottom. In the tomb chamber, the coffin and funeral objects of the tomb owner are placed, and the upper floor is the labyrinth 'Nine Twist Ileum'." Fang Ding deliberated. "It's amazing, it's amazing, it makes sense." The hero was a little excited. "General tomb robbers come in, they just drill into the hole, hehe, it's hard not to die when they enter this 'nine-curved ileum'. This time we met a rookie designer, hehe, hero, you have Little shovel, come and dig." Fang Ding called out to the hero, and the hero immediately took out a small shovel from his bag, spotted a spot, and picked it up under Maohu's light. The sleeves just dig the soil. "Hey, hero, are you injured? Where did the blood come from?" Mao Hu suddenly asked. "Just now it was black and white. It's fine. It's okay." The hero said as he lowered the shovel, his face glowing. Fang Ding sat on the side quietly, looking around with his eyes, always feeling that something was wrong.The look of this ancient tomb always made him unable to find the slightest clue, and he couldn't even tell what kind of tomb it was.All kinds of ghosts here really make him not flattered, but, to be honest, this is the first time he has encountered such a strange tomb. To all kinds of strange supernatural. Of course, the tomb robbery industry is not without taboos. "Fang Ding, come and have a look." The hero suddenly handed Fang Ding a shovel of dirt at this time. Fang Ding nodded, stretched out his hand to smear a little soil on the small shovel and put it in his mouth to chew slowly.His method is the "tongue bud detection" commonly used in tomb robbery, using the sense of taste to feel whether there are treasures in the soil dug out from the shovel.Generally, if there are no treasures, the soil is no different. If there are a lot of treasures buried under the soil, there will be a metal smell in the soil, or other smells such as jade and agate, debris, etc. "Pfft", Fang Ding spit out the soil in his mouth. "What? Isn't it right?" Daxia asked with some regret. Fang Ding reached into his mouth and took out a piece of bronze shards. He smiled slightly, put the shards in his pocket, and said to the hero: "I got it, haha, hero, you are too powerful!" gone."
