Great Lawyer

Chapter 728 Huairou Ancient Tomb ([-])
The wind passed through the treetops, and the bare trunks trembled, driving away the few yellow leaves that refused to leave, floating and falling in the dust.

Two horses were running through the woods.

"Where are your people waiting? Lame, I'm not good at punching and kicking. Are your people reliable?" Du Jiuyan was tightly bound, wishing to wrap up his exposed eyes as well.

The lame man said, "When did I ever cheat you?"

Du Jiuyan thought for a while, and said, "That's right, I've known you for a few years, and it seems that I'm the one who is trying to harm you."

"I hope you don't take revenge this time, and be normal."

The lame man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "Ride the horse well, if you fall off, you'll be entrapping yourself."

"Got it, got it." Du Jiuyan rode his horse, and the horse sped up. The two of them spent the night passing through the two mansions, went to the city and slept for a day, and continued on their way after dark.

When the night was over, the two arrived in Huairou.

The last time they visited this mountain, Bai Jun's mother's empty tomb was buried here.

As soon as the two of them entered the mountain, fourteen masked men in black appeared silently. Du Jiuyan was very excited, and pulled the lame man and said: "These are all from the Dragon Guards, and they are all from the royal family." ?”

"No. The commander of Longwei needs to be a son of the royal family, and the others don't care." The cripple said.

Du Jiuyan nodded in that way. This is the first time she has cooperated with the mysterious Long Wei. "The last time they fought in Yuan Yi's courtyard, those people were very good at fighting. Are they all at this level?"

"Well, it's all above you." The lame man said.

Du Jiuyan was unhappy, and glared at him in the dark, "This only shows that you didn't teach me well as a master."

"I taught them the same way, only you can't do it." The cripple said flatly.

"The talent is different, no wonder you."

Du Jiuyan took the cripple's arm, crushed his foot, and said in a low voice, "Just wait, when I'm done, I'll beat you all over the place begging for mercy, and call me Jiu Ye!"

"Looking forward." The lame man said.

As Du Jiuyan spoke, he kept running up to the top of the mountain without stopping. The lame man asked, "Are you sure the ancient tomb is really here?"

"Hmm. Do you remember the mud on Bai Jun's shoes?"

The lame man nodded and said, "The loess is red."

"Ah Shi said at the time that the tomb where he grew up was surrounded by yellowish red loess." Du Jiuyan said, "I hadn't thought of this layer before, but after I came here, I found that there are actually a lot of people in this mountain. White bark birch and pony hair pine. I wonder if the ancient tomb is nearby."

"We have been thinking to the northwest. It seems that only in the deep mountains and old forests there are such ancient tombs, which are convenient to hide and will not be discovered. But, it is so far away, how to manage the ghosts behind the scenes?"

"That makes sense. We've been looking far away, but we've ignored the vicinity of the capital." The lame man said, "The most dangerous place is actually the safest."

While the two were talking, another figure appeared in the darkness and whispered towards them, "Is it Mr. Du?"

"A Shi," Du Jiuyan beckoned, Ah Shi ran over, and she asked, "When did you come?"

Ah Shi replied: "I arrived an hour ago. I walked around the mountain. I don't know if it is here."

"Go." Du Jiuyan pointed down, "Go to the mountains."

A group of people walked inside.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the lame man suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked at him.

It was dark all around, without any lights, not even a bird, and everyone was puzzled waiting for him to say something.

"Fireworks," said the cripple, "is the aroma left behind after cooking in life."

Everyone sniffed desperately. He didn't say that everyone didn't feel it yet, but after he passed by, he could immediately feel that the air was filled with the aroma of firewood cooking food.

"Not far." The cripple told everyone, "Be careful."

After walking a dozen steps, the lame man stopped again, "Wait for me here." As he spoke, he disappeared before Du Jiuyan's eyes like a falcon.

Du Jiuyan pulled everyone to squat down against the tree trunk and listened to the movement around them.

After about a quarter of an hour, the lame man came back silently and said in a deep voice, "Front left, go."

Everyone was very excited, and Ah Shi followed behind tremblingly.

After turning over a slope that was not too high or too low, there was a depression like a groove below. The cripple pointed to the open space between the depressions and said, "Where!"

"Yes!" Ah Shi's voice trembled, tears streaming down his face, "It's here, it must be here, it's here."

"This ravine, we played in this ditch when we were young, and we can come out for an hour and a half every day. I am familiar with every tree here, and I can distinguish the difference in the smell here."

"Then below is the door." Ah Shi pointed to the end of the mountain, which was as quiet as a worm. "Just behind the weeds is a stone door. It's small, and we have to climb out."

"Those two stone lions are lying at the door."

Ah Shi pulled Du Jiuyan's sleeve, "Mr. Du, yes, yes!"

"I've found a home."

Du Jiuyan looked at him, with helplessness and pity in his voice, and said, "Congratulations, you have found your home."

"Then invite us to your house as a guest." Du Jiuyan took his hand and held it, "Remember the hospitality with good wine and good food."

Ash nodded.

A group of people rushed down, the dead grass rustled under their feet, Ah Shi said: "There are two masters inside, and there is no one else except them."

"It's not good that the two masters are very fierce, we dare not come out."

Stop at the gate of the tomb.

The door of the tomb is about three feet long. It is an exposed door to the tomb. On both sides of the door, there are two lions.The lion was about the size of a small dog, and it grinned fiercely.

The lions were buried deep in the ground, Du Jiuyan didn't know why he didn't steal them away, maybe it was because the tomb had been occupied long ago.

"How?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Ah Shi was already kneeling on the ground, touching a brick, and looked at Du Jiuyan questioningly, "Push this brick to open the door, do you want to push it?"

Du Jiuyan and the cripple looked at each other.

"I'll go in." The lame man said, "You wait for me outside."

Du Jiuyan didn't talk too much and didn't want to be brave. If the inside was really dangerous, she wouldn't be able to help them if she went in. Instead, she would become a hindrance and concern for the lame man, making him unable to use his fists.

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan looked at Ah Shi, "I can trust you, right?"

Ah Shi nodded, "Yes!"

"Yeah." Du Jiuyan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You came here to say goodbye. After tonight, you will no longer be a business."

Ah Shi nodded and turned the block.

There was a creaking sound from the stone door, like a sliding wooden door, sliding on the track buried in the soil, and then the three-foot-high and two-foot-wide door opened, and immediately, a musty smell rushed out.

The turbid gas makes people dizzy.

Ah Shi got in for the first time, followed by the lame man.

The tomb was huge, and Ah Shi led them around a corner before disappearing in front of them. Du Jiuyan and another masked man squatted at the door, watching the inside and defending the outside.

Du Jiuyan felt very insecure about this confined space.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from the tomb.

Ah Shi said that his apprentices are all classified according to their individual talents. Some specialize in martial arts, while others study. Like him, he learns to do business, and he has been able to calculate accounts since he was a child.

This fighting sound... It seems that their master is inside.

She walked around twice anxiously, then stopped and squatted in front of the door. The fighting continued, and a sharp male voice came out.

A quarter of an hour later, there was light from inside, and Du Jiuyan heard the lame man say to her, "It's all right!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, "Come out now?"

"En." The lame man replied, and then he and his companion pushed people out.

One or two waited for everyone to come out, she counted, a total of seven people.

Although the light was not clear, but judging from their height and body shape, five of them could be recognized as children, while the other two men were about in their early forties, and they should be the masters that Ah Shi was talking about.

The torches were lit, and the seven people were pale and ragged.

The five children looked at her with terrified eyes. There was fear in their eyes but more curiosity, curiosity about other people and outsiders.

"What's it called?" Du Jiuyan asked the two masters.

One grid is taller, as skinny as a bamboo pole, with a long beard, and a pair of gray eyes, like a living dead.

The other short man was also as thin as a skeleton, and his whole body was full of decay.

The two looked straight at Du Jiuyan without speaking.

"Master Gao and Master Short." Ah Shi stared at the two masters, his legs were still shaking because of excitement.

He found it, entered here from the outside, and looked at them with another identity.

It turned out that the two masters were like this.

He remembered that when he was a child, he was so afraid of the two masters. It seemed that they were not like living people, but like dead people. The fear of death forced them to be afraid.

"Does your master usually come?" Du Jiuyan asked Master Gao.

Master Gao shook his head blankly, "No! When he commands, there will be an arrow nailed to the branch."

Du Jiuyan followed the direction of his fingers and looked at the tree trunk above his head.

"How long will I give you the task?"

Master Gao said: "I'm not sure, sometimes it doesn't happen for three years, sometimes it happens a few times a year."

"What about eating and drinking? Are you going down the mountain?"

"Eating and drinking will be delivered every three days, and they will be placed at the door." Master Gao said, "We don't go down the mountain. I haven't gone down the mountain for 20 years."

20 years?Du Jiuyan couldn't believe it, "You've been here for 20 years?"

Master Gao nodded, as if there was nothing like Ah Shi, not because he didn't look at it, but because he had already forgotten about Ah Shi.

The children here come and go, every year for 20 years there is a child named Ah Shi, and every year there is a child named A Biao... They live in darkness most of the time, and he does not remember their appearance.

"Why don't you leave? No one is watching, why don't you leave?"
