Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The tengu eating the moon in the murals, the mummified corpse with the bark mask, the ancient tomb under Xiandun Lake, and the dead man whose intestines were pumped out in the jade coffin. I only have these vague understandings of that mountain mausoleum. If I can enter I believe that there will be amazing discoveries in the underground palace. All the way through the Caoxieling dry cave, it went smoothly beyond expectations. There are caves everywhere, and each cave has a different shape. There are no more than 18 patterns, which are collectively called "Eighteen Holes in the Mountain" according to the feng shui situation. It is not difficult to get out of Huangchao Cave. After noon, you arrive at the south side of Caoxie Ridge. There are dangerous peaks on three sides that you can't even fly up. Surrounded by these mountains, the 370-hectare lake is open and calm. The reeds are wandering, there is mist in the distance, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness in the past. The water level of Xiandun Lake was much higher than now. There really is a fish god, that kind of legend has no basis at all, the ancients had nothing to do when they had enough to eat at night, except for giving birth to children, all they had to do was to tell stories. The four great classics were all collected in this way, but Xiong'er Mountain is really on the dragon vein of the Central Plains A treasure cave, now most of the receding water has become a wetland, where wild geese and ducks come and go.

Big Yandie looked at the water with a long-sighted look: "The ancient tomb under Xiandun Lake must be there, I can already see the treasure in the underground palace!" I said: "Don't mention that for now, we have neglected a very important thing, how to enter Xiandun Lake?" Big Cigarette and Cheeky were dumbfounded when they heard it. They didn’t expect that Xiandun is surrounded by water. It’s impossible to cross the lake without the help of a vehicle. , the weight in the backpack is not light, and it will sink to the bottom in the water. Secondly, I heard that there are zombies at the bottom of the lake. They are many dead people with bark masks on their faces. No matter how brave we are, we dare not go directly.The three of them made up their minds and decided to go down the Gunma Mountain by the lake and go around to Jimingdang first. I heard that mountain people often dig wild duck eggs in that piece of reeds, and maybe they can find a raft or a tank boat for crossing the water. .

The dry food with me is limited, if I delay one more day on the road, I will spend one less time digging the hole. Make a plan and immediately find a way to go around. When the water level of Xiandun Lake was deep, there might really be no way to go. After the water level dropped, and On the edge of the lake bordered by Gunma Mountain, reeds more than 100 meters wide formed. We walked south through the wetland at the foot of the mountain. When the autumn wind blows, the catkins flutter in the sky like snow, and the scenery is like a landscape oil painting. But before I came here, I heard many legends about zombies in ancient tombs in Xiandun Lake. I always feel that under the calm lake, there are infinite of mystery.

There is only one road in Jimingdang, which is not a road, and the two sides are full of mud. We were lucky and went in along the road, and soon found three tank boats in the wandering house. Two of them were decayed and seeped, and the other one was still intact. , It is to take out an empty trough on the thick round log, which can seat two or three people, and with the help of wooden oars, it can be used to cross the water.Seeing the dusk, Da Yandie'er said, "It's better to have a good night's rest in the wandering house, and go to dig the ancient tomb under Xiandun Lake tomorrow morning."

We couldn't walk anymore, so we sat down in a dry place among the reeds and ate a few dry flour pancakes to satisfy our hunger. He cheekily complained that the pancakes were so hard that his teeth would break out. He said: "Otter is the best game food. I served as a soldier in the Northwest two years ago. I drove long distances, but I couldn't eat or drink. If I can eat it in a sandy nest Catch a few marmots in the house, that will satisfy your hunger, the marmots are fat and fleshy, and they will squeak when roasted on the fire." Big Cigarette seems to have eaten otters before, and said in agreement: "Well... the taste is somewhat similar to that of civet cats, but eating otters pays attention to the seasons. After the sting of stings, otters smell under the armpits, so you can't eat them at that time. .”

I said, "Why do you two eat everything? Otters have human-like hands and feet. Doesn't it look like a roasted human after being cooked? Besides, marmots are very alert. A hole has several exits, so it's not easy to catch. " Thick-skinned said: "I am a layman when I hear your words. Marmots only eat grass roots, and no grass will grow in the place where it gnaws. If you eat it, it is equal to killing the pests. Moreover, there are usually two exits in the otter's burrow. You just need to find two exits. Use smoke to choke one hole, and then hold a stick to guard the other hole. If you have a dog, it is easier. You don’t have to do it yourself. Next time you have a chance to go to the northwest, I will let you two eat enough We have lost the marmots, so today we have to eat dry flour pancakes first, by the way, why don't we shoot two wild ducks to try?"

After being reminded by him, Big Cigarette and I both thought it was a good idea, and it was time to beat our teeth. Immediately, we threw down the hard dry food and tiptoed around in the chicken crowing, but we didn't find any duck feathers or wild goose feathers. Suddenly I saw a piece of reed in front of me shaking slightly, obviously something was moving, I touched it and quietly pushed the reed aside to look in, I was startled and almost cried out. I immediately covered my mouth, lowered my body, did not dare to take a breath, and made a gesture to make Cheeky and Big Cigarette get down too. It turned out that there were more than a dozen people standing behind the reed , the leader is a short, fat and fat man, in his forties, with a short stature, his head is two sizes larger than ordinary people, his mouth is big, his eyes are narrow, and no matter what time it is, his face is also yin and yang. Looking at his expression, just looking at his stature, it was as if the statue of Mirai Buddha in the temple had come alive.

Both Dayandie and I know this person, his real name is Huang San, everyone calls him Huang Foye, a bully in the ghost market, when he was young, he was just a peddler selling fried ghosts, digging graves in the mountains in recent years I have made a fortune by digging graves. I have heard for a long time that Huang Foye has no skills. He relies on ruthlessness. Those who hang out with him are also outlaws who seek money but not righteousness. He often came to ask the blind man for advice on how to find ancient tombs. Well, the blind man didn't want to see him, and he was rejected several times in a row, so he rarely came again. I almost never dealt with him.

I didn't expect to meet Huang Foye in the chicken crowing. The two followed me and saw the situation behind the reeds. They were astonished, and no one dared to speak out. Most of Huang Foye and his men took The guns are long or short, and the backpacks behind several of them are filled with homemade explosives. The local mountain people have a tradition of hunting geese and wild ducks. As long as they are willing to pay, it is not difficult to find a few shotguns. Those explosives were probably also purchased at high prices from nearby black mines, which is too bold. I thought to myself: "I heard that Huang Foye is the leader of the armed tomb robbery gang. It is true. Is this going to use explosives to blow up the ancient tomb of Xiong'er Mountain?"

I only heard a man with a snake waist in that group say: "I already have a map of the ancient tomb, do I still need a guide to lead the way?" Another man with a scarred face said, "Where do we have a map? There will be heavy fog on the lake at any time. It's not safe to have no locals to guide the way." The water snake waist chuckled, and said: "You don't know something. There is a stupid bird named Big Yandie, who is holding a yin and yang pillow that was handed down hundreds of years ago, looking for capable people to dig out the map of the ancient tomb. Don’t want to ruin the pillow, thinking that all the good things are his? Our Buddha heard about it. It’s not like playing with that stupid bird. The Buddha told me to take a picture when I got the map In the end, that stupid bird with the big cigarette dish would never have dreamed of it."

Scarface raised his thumb after hearing this, and slapped Huang Foye's ass hard: "Tall, it's really tall, brother is convinced and takes it away." Huang Foye snorted, and said: "A big smoker is a stupid bird, he doesn't even ask what his origin is, how can a stupid bird like him dig the ancient tomb of Xiong'er Mountain?" Cheeky and I listened to that group of people talking stupidly one by one, and we understood what was going on in our hearts, only to see Big Cigarette's face turned pale and green for a while, feeling ashamed and resentful at the same time, wishing to pierce the ground In his heart, he had scolded all eight generations of Huang Foye's ancestors in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out, he knew that it would not be good if he ran into the hands of this group of people. It was already dark, we hid in the reeds where the cock crowed and did not dare to move a little, only to hear Huang Foye say: "We have a map left before the end of the Ming Dynasty in our hands, and we don't know how much it has changed, so we will keep it for now. These two lead the way." At this time, I heard a very familiar voice pleading: "Please let me go, my home is far away from Laojieling, and I have never been to Xiandun Lake. At most, I have only been to this chicken crowing swing. Today is this girl. Let me take her to draw waterfowls, please raise your hands and let me go, there are old and young in my family..." I followed the sound and saw Malu, and the young girl I met on the train. Hearing what Malu said, the girl seemed to like painting. She heard that Malu told me about Xiandun Lake, so after getting off the train, I found a donkey as a guide, and came to sketch with cock crowing, but unexpectedly bumped into Huang Foye's hand. Huang Foye said with a nonchalant smile: "Your name is Malu, and your appearance really deserves the name, but why didn't you say earlier that you had never entered Xiandun Lake?" He suddenly pulled out the folding shovel, and The back of the shovel was slapped on the face of the donkey, and the donkey fell to the ground with an oops, its mouth and nose were full of blood, and it couldn't stop twisting, but it couldn't scream anymore. The donkey slapped the donkey's head hard a few times, and after killing the man without changing his face, he told his subordinates: "I told you to find a local to lead the way, but why the hell did you find such a useless stupid bird, and hurry up in the prodigal Dig a hole and bury him for me." His subordinates didn't dare to contradict him, they obeyed his orders and hurriedly dug a hole in the wetland of reeds.The water snake waist asked: "Master Buddha, there is another girl, how should I deal with it?" Huang Foye saw his thoughts and said: "People in the Tao are superstitious, and you can't have both money and sex, so don't delay your business with women. , When the ancient tomb of Xiong'er Mountain is dug up and the golden figurines buried with her are taken out, what kind of girl can I play with?" Water Snake said in a bewildered way: "This girl is as beautiful as a flower, it's a pity to be buried, I'm really reluctant to do it, but I'm sure you're right, she's seen everything about us, leaving it behind is the root of the disaster..." I've only heard that Huang Foye is ruthless and ruthless in his actions. Who would have thought that he would kill people when he said they would, and he would be ruthless in his actions, without any warning beforehand. If we hadn't watched from the sidelines, who would have known this? What happened in the reed marsh, and it was too late to save the donkey. Hearing that this group of people would bury the girl alive, my heart was filled with blood, and I bumped my thick-skinned face lightly with my elbow. Winking, cheeky and understanding, the two of us each held two handfuls of soil, jumped out of the reeds without a word, and threw it at the face of this group without saying a word. The group was defenseless, most of them were confused by the sand Eyes, the rest of them were also stunned, not knowing what was going on.I picked up the folding shovel that fell on the ground, and slapped Huang Foye on the big fleshy head with the shovel. His head was bleeding, and he covered his head and eyes and screamed.Cheeky kicked the water snake's waist and lower abdomen hard.The water snake vomited blood from its waist, and fell to the ground amidst howls.The two of us took advantage of the chaos to grab the girl, turned around and ran back, and at the same time told Big Cigarette to run away. As I ran, I said to Big Cigarette: "I avenged you, if the shovel didn't kill Huang Foye, it would be considered an advantage for him." Big Yandie just realized what happened, but his throat seemed to be choked, and he could only squeeze out two words: "Awesome!" At this time, they heard Huang Foye and others chasing after him amidst the shouting and cursing, the four of them did not dare to stay for a while, and ran all the way among the reeds under the moon, not caring that their clothes were scratched, and kept going. When we ran to the place where the tank boat was placed, there was only one way for the chicken to crow, so we had to push the tank boat into the water. I remembered that the soil gun had fallen into the reeds, and we couldn’t go back to get it. the middle of the lake. Huang Foye and his men had just arrived at Jimingdang, and there was no tank boat to launch, and we were not familiar with the direction of the route. We rowed the tank boat a few hundred meters, and under the cover of night fog, we were out of danger and slowed down the speed of paddling. , driving northward according to the direction pointed by the compass, the lake surface of hundreds of hectares is open and foggy, and it may not be easy to find a mound. Seeing the girl's pale face, Da Yandie thought she was frightened, and said, "It's okay, sister, you've met your relatives when you see our three brothers, no matter how cruel that stupid Huang Foye is, it's not like that." Let my brother slap the ground with a shovel, and I don’t need to make a move. If I want to do it, there will be no such person as Huang Foye in the Jianghu. Don’t look at your brother, I am thin, and the weight is small and weighs a thousand catties. Kung Fu Here, what...how should I call you?" The girl's big eyes were as bright as the stars in the frosty night, with tears on her face, she said softly, "My name is Tian, ​​and my name is Tian Muqing." Big Smoke Die'er said: "You can call me Brother Die'er. These two are my brothers, Pi Zhan and Bai Shengli. How did you meet Huang Foye, that stupid bird?" Tian Muqing briefly explained the story, and it was almost the same as what I thought. She was an intern teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts. On the train, she overheard Ma Lv talking about Xiandun Lake, and wanted to see it too. On the way, I want to go to the lake to take some photos and take them back to make materials. Ma Lu intends to earn some extra money and agrees to lead the way for Tian Muqing, but he has to go home and explain some things, but he delayed his arrival until today, otherwise he would not have met Huang Foye That group, Tian Muqing was sad again when he mentioned that he caused the donkey to die while the cock was crowing. I said, "I can't blame you at first. If I hadn't asked the donkey about Xiandun Lake on the train, you wouldn't have heard it, so he wouldn't have brought you here." Big Cigarette said: "In the end, it's all about fate. That idiot Huang Foye is really tired of his life. He kills people as soon as he says he wants to. What age has he been?" He was called a lot by Huang Foye's group just now He was full of idiots, angry in his heart, and at this time he was also swearing at each idiot, fearing that he would lose money. I don't know Huang Foye with a thick skin, so I asked me what is the origin of that group?To take human life as human life is not a general in western Henan? I said: "Huang Foye was born in Hutong Chuanzi. Eight generations of his ancestors sold fried ghosts. He also sold fried ghosts himself. One year he stabbed someone with a knife and was sent to the Northwest for eight years. He met him on a labor camp. I found a habitual offender named Dumb Chengzi. I heard that he was a dumb man who knew how to use explosives. After the two of them were released, they assembled a group of men who demanded money and life to dig graves..." While speaking, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, the moon in the sky could not shine down, and the water surface was strangely quiet. Occasionally, a big fish with green scales about a foot long jumped out to take a breath and made some noises. Cheeky took out a flashlight from his backpack to illuminate it. The surrounding area was foggy, and there was no compass to distinguish north from south. It must be the three barriers of "Saoxie Ridge, Gunma Mountain, and Jilong Mountain" that block the water vapor and keep the clouds on the lake for a long time. I said to Big Cigarette: "If you want to disperse the heavy fog on Xiandun Lake, unless there is heavy rain..." Just halfway through the words, I heard someone talking in the fog behind me. When I listened carefully, it turned out to be The armed tomb robbers under Huang Foye somehow found a trough boat to cross the water at Jimingdang, and they followed up so quickly. I asked Tian Muqing: "How many people does Huang Foye have under his command?" Tian Muqing said: "Including him, there are seventeen people in total." He said cheekily: "The soil guns have fallen into the reeds. If you let those people catch up with empty hands, you will become a living target!" I said: "Fortunately, there is fog, so we won't be found ten meters away. Let's just paddle and keep quiet. The farther away from Huang Foye, the better." Big Smoke Disc said: "Exactly... exactly as it should be, eggs cannot touch stones!" Tian Muqing followed the helpers, and the four of them didn't say a word. They lowered their heads and used the shovel and wooden paddle to splash the water. Those who were tired from rowing would rest for a while, but they still couldn't get rid of Huang Foye and his group. The time passed hour by hour. , I don’t know how far I have traveled in the fog, and suddenly I bumped into a mound-shaped mound. I didn’t expect that there was such a thick fog on the lake, and I could find this mound. It seems that when luck comes, blind cats can bump into it. Dead mouse. There are countless legends about the ancient tomb under Xiandun Lake. Some say it is an ancient tomb, some say it is an ancient tomb, and some say it is a mountain mausoleum. It is a tomb, and ordinary people are tombs. It can only be sure that it is the largest tomb in Xiong'er Mountain. The mound is extremely tall. It is said that the corridors inside are criss-cross and the scale of the underground palace is extremely large, but it is not known what kind of people are buried. Therefore, there are also mausoleums. It is said that it is a tomb, but this ancient tomb is located under a buried hill. There was a violent subsidence thousands of years ago, and the ancient tomb sank underwater. Whenever there is a severe drought, the bucket-shaped mound of soil will be buried on the surface of the lake. There is a part exposed on it, which is called Xiandun by the folks, and the lake is called Xiandun Lake. The area varies according to the spring and autumn floods. It is about 300-400 hectares. It is really not small. In the middle of the night, the surrounding area is full of mist. The visibility is only about ten meters, and the chance of encountering this mound is very slim, but it happened to appear in front of us. I secretly felt that this was strange, but Big Cigarette and Cheeky had already climbed onto the mound with flashlights to check. Tian Muqing suddenly asked: "Aren't you also here to find the ancient tomb of Xiong'er Mountain?" I thought to myself that Tian Muqing was on the train, and she heard me talk about this ancient tomb with the donkey, but she might not know that we came to rob the tomb to get the treasure, but I heard her speak in an orderly manner, and she is also a clear-eyed person. I can't hide it from her, and it's better to get the word out as soon as possible, so I said to her: "The ancient tomb of Xiong'er Mountain moved the dragon's veins arbitrarily, causing the Yellow River to seize the Huaihe River, drowning countless soldiers and civilians. We came here to rob the tomb for the sake of the common people in the world. Besides, things are dead and people are alive. I really can't bear to see those rare treasures buried in ancient tombs and rot together with mud and dust. Unlike Huang Foye, their group is no different from thugs. But robbers have their own way, just like Captain Mojin back then, have you heard of Captain Mojin, that is our team of poor people." Tian Muqing was sitting opposite me, we could hear each other's breathing, in the vast fog, I couldn't see her at all, and as if she was far away in the sky, she didn't say a word, just lowered her head to listen to me. Just as I was about to ask her, Big Cigarette and Cheeky had come back from exploring the way, and I heard the voices of Huang Foye and his group coming from far and near. Big Yandie panicked, and said in a low voice: "What a goddamn devil, can you still find him in such a thick fog?" I told Dayandieer that I heard before that one of Huang Foye’s subordinates is a dog’s nose, and that nose is smarter than a dog’s. If you stand in front of him for a while, he can find you from miles away. Really If that's the case, don't even try to get rid of that group of people wherever you go. Big Yandie said in surprise: "That's troublesome, but fortunately the mound has grown, so let's go up and find a place to hide." I knew the situation was extremely dangerous, and Huang Foye and his gang would not let us escape alive. It was strange to hear that the mound was huge, but the situation was urgent and we could not think about it. We saw that there were holes in the mound, and the inside was full of soil, so we pushed the tank boat in, and then climbed up the slope. Big Cigarette shone a flashlight forward and said, "Look, isn't the mound too big?" I took a closer look and saw that there were several mounds of similar size in the ups and downs ahead. There should be more in the fog in the distance. According to the legend of the ancient tomb in Xiong'er Mountain, there is a large tomb surrounded by numerous mounds The mounds we saw seemed to be those grave mounds, but when we dug them down with a mountain pick, the soil a few feet deep was covered with a layer of ancient cloth tiles, which seemed to be houses. Many years ago, perhaps a village sank into a lake. In recent years, after the water level dropped, the roofs of the houses in the village were exposed, which looked like grave mounds. Perhaps those dead people with bark masks were the lake. Villagers who drowned in the sinking. Big Smoke Disc grabbed my arm and said, "Brother, don't look, Huang Foye's stupid bird is catching up, hurry up!" I was engrossed in watching it, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't pull it so hard, can you, I was born by my parents, and if I pull it off, I won't be able to match the original one..." Immediately, I quickened my pace and followed the big cigarette dish Waiting for others, continue to move forward on the undulating roof, the terrain rises slowly, and after walking a hundred steps, the road in the village is already above the lake, but the roads and houses are covered by mud, only the outline, you can see It is no different from the barren tombs and ancient mounds. When you walk to the middle of the village, a big earth mountain appears in front of you. It is so big that there is no end. There are stones underneath, and there is soil outside, and a lot of silt has accumulated under the water, which looks like a big mound. The ancient tomb of Xiong'er Mountain refers to this place. A part of the southern end of the earth mountain was sunken. The beam of the flashlight passed through the mist and just hit the top of the convex hole. It was about five or six meters high. We scraped it a few times with picks and shovels, and there were two thick stone doors in the soil layer. Inlaid with rusted copper rings, the incised design is still discernible. Huang Foye and others will catch up at any time. We know that we have no chance to dig the ancient tomb of Xiong'er Mountain. Unfortunately, the cooked duck flew away again, and we wanted to leave after a second look. Cheeky but not reconciled, he stepped forward and pushed hard on the tomb door, unexpectedly, the gate of the underground palace slowly moved inward by an inch, and dust fell down. Big Cigarette and I looked at each other in blank dismay, both of them were inexpressibly surprised, and looking at our own hands cheekily, we were also stunned. A thought popped into my mind: "Mostly there is a chute under the stone gate of the underground palace. Otherwise, no matter how many people come, it is impossible to push it. Then this is a mass burial type ancient tomb. Multiple coffins are put into the underground palace one by one. It sank under Xiandun Lake before it was completely closed." The four of us pushed forward together, and the door of the tomb opened with a bang. It was not too bad luck. I took a photo with a flashlight, and there was a groove under the door of the underground palace, with heavy wear and tear, as if it had been opened and closed many times. , It has been more than two thousand years, and it can still be pushed freely, but it can only be pushed from the outside, and cannot be pushed inside. The underground palace is gloomy and dark, and there is no sound at all. In my astonishment, I suddenly realized that the footsteps of Huang Foye and others had been dozens of steps away. Those gangsters were carrying guns and explosives. If they ran into them, they would die. Shimen, and stuck the head of a mountain pick in the groove, and pushed the Shimen of the underground palace to death from the inside. Even if Master Huang ordered his men to use explosives to destroy the Shimen, it would not be possible to do it in a short while. Tian Muqing said: "There is no way out in the ancient tomb, Huang Foye and his gang can always come in, but we can't get out." I said, "We can dig in to rob the tomb to get treasure, and of course we can dig out. Besides, the tomb passage is very deep and alive. There should be a lot of space. Maybe it's in the middle of the mountain, so there's no way out." Big Yandie said: "The underground palace is very cloudy. I think if we hide in the depths, Huang Foye's subordinates will not be able to find us." Cheeky said: "It's better to open the coffin and get the treasure out of that group of people, and let them bite the urine bubbles to get rid of it, then his grandma will be relieved." I said: "This place is too big, there may be many coffins, how many things can we take with us?" Thick-skinned said: "You can take what is worth the money. The principle is to harm others and not benefit yourself. If you can't take it away, you can't fall into the hands of those people." We were going to go deep into the tomb. When passing through the Yellow Nest Cave, we made a few torches in advance. There were still some unused when we got here. He took out two big cigarette dishes from his backpack, which can be used for lighting The road repels snakes and insects, and secondly, it is easy to know whether there is vitality. If the torch suddenly goes out, it means that there is a lingering Yin Qi. Since the electric light, many inexperienced tomb robbers no longer use candles. It is said that some people suffocate to death in the robber's cave because of this. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes the Yin Qi in the tomb and coffin will burst into white flames when it encounters fire, let alone burn the tomb robber to death. The wall can also be burned through, but this kind of situation is very rare, and you have to consider yourself unlucky if you hit it. I first took a torch and lit it up, and the dark tomb passage lit up immediately, but I saw the three people staring at me with wide eyes. In a daze, I realized that they were not looking at me, but staring behind me. What is behind me? I let those three people look at it like this, and I felt the cool wind whizzing down my spine. I was ready to jump away to avoid it at any time, turned around and saw a white face in the mural of the tomb passage, saying The head is as big as a bucket, and this face is also as big, with big ears on one side, two slender beards on the lips, a strange expression, a human face and a tiger body, and nine snake tails. It is lined with clouds and can be seen in the dark. So scary. Cheeky said: "The tomb owner's face looks like this, it's not quite what I thought." I said, "That is the mythical beast that eats people on Kunlun Mountain in ancient legends. It is placed here to guard the gate of the tomb, and it will not move. Who can scare it?" Da Yandie said: "It has been nearly two thousand years since the Han Dynasty, but the murals are still so bright, and the treasures in the underground palace must be well preserved." Tian Muqing said: "You say this is a mural of the Han Dynasty?" Big Yandie said: "Under the Xiandun Lake is an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the murals of the Han Dynasty are in the Han tomb." Tian Muqing said: "I thought it was a Tang painting." I thought to myself that Tian Muqing is a teacher of the Academy of Fine Arts, and it is not surprising to recognize the murals of the Tang Dynasty, and her opinion is also consistent with mine. I said to Dayandieer: "The mythical beast with a human head and a tiger body on Kunlun Mountain comes from the legends of the Han Dynasty, but this mural is really a characteristic of the techniques of the Tang Dynasty." Big Yandie was puzzled: "How could it be an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty?" I said, "I can see that the engraved patterns on the door of the tomb are from the Han Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with that." Big Cigarette said: "That's really strange, there are murals of the Tang Dynasty in the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty?" I said: "From the rumors we heard in Feixian Village, we thought that this ancient tomb existed in the Han Dynasty, but in fact it is a mass burial tomb. They came in for burial, until the lake sinking earthquake occurred in the Tang Dynasty, and the whole mountain peak sank underwater, and it has been isolated from the world until now.” Da Yandie asked curiously: "From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty for more than a thousand years, coffins and coffins have always been sent into this underground palace. Who are those people?" I said, "I don't know, anyway, there are many things wrong." The layout of this underground palace can be said to be upside-down, yin and yang, sinking at the bottom of the lake for thousands of years, but there is no trace of being flooded in the underground palace, jade coffins and gold figurines, mummified corpses with bark masks, and houses around the mountain peaks are everywhere. Mysterious and weird, before the identity of the owner of the tomb is found out, everything is like a thick fog on the surface of a lake, making it impossible to see through and understand. He said cheekily: "If you don't understand it, don't think too much. The owner of the tomb is lying in the coffin. Let's go in and take a look." Big Yandie said: "Be more careful when you go in, everyone should follow closely and leave half a step away." We lit two torches, Cheeky and I each held one, and the other two held flashlights and walked deeper into the tomb passage step by step. We saw that the tomb passage was chiseled in a cave in the belly of the peak, with a neat top and flat feet, more than ten meters away. It was the same tomb door again, everyone walked in, and was about to turn around and close the stone door, when the big smoke dish suddenly said, "No, don't close this door!" After I asked, I found out that Big Cigarette had left his backpack in the tomb passage. At that time, our attention was attracted by the mythical beast with a human face and a tiger body in the mural. He also said that it was a mural of the Tang Dynasty. He put the backpack in the mural. I took out the torch on the ground, and then forgot to take it again. There were dry food, tobacco and spare torches in the backpack. Big Cigarette said: "That's what should be used, I have to take it back..." After speaking, he turned and wanted to go back. I asked Big Cigarette to wait here, handed him my own knapsack, a shovel in one hand, and a torch in the other, and went back to help him find the knapsack. What do you think? I walked back more than ten meters alone, only to feel a little bit timid. The place is cold and dark, the gray granite walls and ground are lifeless. When I came to the first stone gate, I found a backpack in the ground. Seeing that the road was dark, and after more than ten meters, I couldn't see their light at the second tomb door. Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind me, and the gravel collapsed. I was so shocked that I hit the wall of the tomb. . I was lying on the wall, my brain was stunned, and I lost consciousness for a few seconds. When I realized it, I saw Huang Foye and his group walking in amidst the smoke and dust, and they were all lit. Torches, but the explosion of the stone door caused smoke and dust to rise, which did not clear for a while, and the tomb passage was very wide. The robbers failed to find anyone under the wall. Come on, mingling among them without saying a word, everyone is ashamed, and their vision is blurred in the smoke, so it is not easy to be noticed. I opened my mouth vigorously, and felt that the eardrums were not broken, and my hearing gradually recovered, and I heard the water snake waist say: "With our loyal ministers and good generals assisting the Buddha, it is easy to blow up the tomb door. Everyone just wait to get rich." Huang Foye said: "Those stupid birds on the big cigarette plate really ran into this ancient tomb?" Water Snake said: "The dog's nose smelled it and followed it. It can't be wrong. Those grandchildren don't want to live anymore. How dare they die in Tai Sui?" The ground is broken on your head, Buddha, you... the injury on your head is okay?" Huang Foye snorted, and said: "What is this, grandpa has practiced..." The water snake waist is dedicated to flattering Huang Foye, and took the opportunity to flatter: " To tell you the truth, I have seen it a long time ago, mortals who eat whole grains can't have your kung fu!" I saw Huang Foye's big meaty head dangling in front of my eyes, and immediately thought of the donkey's death at the hands of this man. I couldn't suppress the resentment in my heart, and asked behind him: "Buddha, how long can you hold this head?" shovel?" Huang Foye said: "It's not like playing one by one three or five times, um... who are you?" I didn't wait for Master Huang to turn his head to look at it, so I grabbed the shovel in my hand and slapped his big head hard. This time I used too much force, and with a bang, the head of the shovel was deformed. Darou's head was so hard that ordinary people, and his head was not broken after being hit so hard, it was not a serious injury. He threw himself on the ground and screamed: "Ouch... Who the hell is here to plot against Grandpa again?" ?” Although all of Huang Foye's subordinates are desperadoes, they are all mobs. I also took advantage of the surprise. Before those people could react, I ran to the second tomb door, and I heard Huang Foye greet hysterically from behind. The men chased after him. I ran into the door of the second tomb in two steps at a time. Big Cigarette and the others heard the sound and knew that Huang Foye and the others had entered the ancient tomb. Pushing, trying to close the tomb door, but the torches in the tomb passage shook, and the group of thieves had already chased to the door. We had no time to close the second tomb door, so we had to run as hard as we could into the depths of the tomb passage. There was a third tomb door ahead. The four of us escaped in, and the tomb passage was at the end of this, and then passed through the stone arched hole on the top of the coupon, and it was the underground palace hall, but we saw that the walls were built with tomb bricks, the roof and the ground of the hall were also of masonry structure, supported by stone beams and stone pillars, and the corners Covered with dust, the underground palace is not small, but it is rough and simple, making it even more lifeless. We thought that this place might be just the front hall, and there should be a main hall where the coffin of the tomb owner was placed ahead. We walked quickly to the opposite side of the stone hall, but there was no passage there. Cheeky and anxious, he said: "Huang Foye's group will catch up immediately, and there is no way to go ahead, let's fight with them desperately, fight for one to earn money, fight for two to earn one." Da Yandie'er said in shock: "It's absolutely impossible, that's the courage of a man, you must hold your breath." I thought to myself: "The drought bandits have guns and explosives, and the four of us only have shovels and mountain picks in our hands. In the past, we fought with others desperately, and what we lost was our own life. It's not worthwhile..." When I was at a loss, I Looking up and seeing the stone beams on the top of the hall, I suddenly had an idea and felt that I had to go to the top to hide now. I took out the rope and handed it to Tian Muqing, and built a ladder with the other two, let her climb to the stone beam first and put down the rope, and the three of us climbed up with the rope, just worried that if Tian Muqing trembled with fright, maybe she would die Falling from a high place, I didn't expect her to be light and flexible, and it's even rarer to be calm. She immediately climbed up the stone beam, and Cheeky and I climbed up with the rope she let go, and put the big cigarette plate Pulled to the beam of the hall, the four of them just crouched down when Huang Foye and his group broke through the door and chased into the main hall. We put out the torches and flashlights, and lay on the top of the stone beam without daring to move, lest we accidentally catch our breath A cloud of dust would startle Huang Foye and his subordinates. They just lay on the top of the hall and silently peered down. Being in a dangerous situation, they unconsciously felt that they were in danger. However, what happened next in the hall , I couldn't believe my eyes.
