People check in and punch cards in tomb robbery

Chapter 203 Departure
"It's an exaggeration, it's an exaggeration, there are countless people in this industry in old Changsha, and when it comes to collecting artifacts, the second master is the number one."

Wu Laogou waved his hand, and took advantage of the situation to put down the three inches in his sleeve.When only he and Wishing were left in the room, his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Brother Xu, there is something I still don't understand, please help analyze it."

"Brother Ang has something to say."

Wishing to put down the tea in his hand, he only felt a faint fragrance lingering between his teeth.

"I've seen that sarcophagus once."

Wu Laogou was silent, but when he said it, he was shocked. Even if he made a wish, his heart jumped suddenly, and he frowned and looked at him in disbelief.

"where?!"

"A deep valley in Miaojiang."

Wu Laogou didn't hide it, and explained the matter carefully from beginning to end.

It turned out that a few years ago, there was an earthquake in the mountains over there, and his subordinates heard the news, saying that the coffin was found in the crack.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that there must be a big tomb underneath.

Ordinary people usually use wooden coffins for burial, while sarcophagi are hard to see, and the size is not small.

Then, he led people there overnight, and went deep into the crack. The surrounding terrain hides wind and water, and it is a top-notch geomantic treasure.

But a group of people struggled to open the sarcophagus, only to find that it was not a human being buried inside.

"It's not a person, what is that?"

The wish sounded weird, and asked subconsciously.

"The corpse is very evil. I didn't recognize it at first. It looks like a monster with a snake head and a human body."

"It's as if someone just put the snake's head together on the man's neck."

"A few guys and I were terrified, but we didn't think much more about it. We thought it was just a deformed freak, and we were going to continue digging, but when we shoveled, blood started to ooze from the mound..."

When talking about these things, even though many years have passed, there is still a trace of uncontrollable panic in the depths of Wu Laogou's eyes.

What he didn't notice was that the wish on one side had long since disappeared.

The head of a snake!

Wishing frowned, for some reason, he immediately thought of King Wannu in the bronze gate of Yunding Tiangong, that monster that was rumored to have crawled out of the ground.

Equally weird...

Also, they are all experimental products on the road to longevity.

"Blood oozes in the soil, so there must be blood corpses underneath."

"That thing is extremely strange. I saw it once when I was very young, so when I saw the blood flowing out, I didn't dare to stay any longer."

"Taking advantage of the night, the few of us ran like crazy, and we didn't care about weapons anymore, we just wanted to save our lives."

"It's also my fault. I didn't think about it when I was at the train station. I just remembered it on the way back."

"Those two sarcophagi are exactly the same, and they must be the same old pit."

"They're still coming."

Old Dog Wu was still talking intermittently, even inadvertently telling the story of the first time he went to the tomb as a Tufuzi.

His eyes were full of fear, and his face was extremely pale.

That incident left a deep impression on him. After returning from the deep valley for a long time, as soon as he closed his eyes at night, his mind would be filled with those strange images.

The blood-oozing soil, the strange corpse under the sarcophagus, the bloody corpse and the huge strange face that he pulled out from the robbery hole when he was a child.

All the memories intertwined and then woke up in that nightmare.

"Brother Xu, there is definitely a great horror in that place, you can't go there, brother Xu, hey, wake up, do you hear me?"

Wu Laogou rubbed his face vigorously, forcibly getting rid of the images that frightened him in the back of his mind.

Only then did he look back and make a wish.

Unexpectedly, when he made a wish, he was in a daze, as if he had fallen into a hallucination.

"Brother Xu?"

Wu Laogou quickly pushed him.

"what?"

The wishing body shook, and then he came back to his senses, and shook his head at Old Dog Wu apologetically, indicating that he was fine.

"Brother Xu, did you just hear what I said?"

"I heard." Wishing nodded.

If he guessed correctly, the crack that Old Dog Wu accidentally broke into a few years ago should be the periphery of the ancient tomb of the mine.

It's just that he was scared out of his soul by the blood corpse, so he failed to go deeper, and instead missed an opportunity.

Wu Laogou glanced at the wish in surprise, but didn't think much about it, thinking that he was just tired from traveling all the way, "Then do you think I should go?"

"This matter is indeed complicated..."

Making a wish hesitated for a while, but swallowed back the words that followed.

Now even he has just figured out what it looks like, and he will only know after meeting him.

There is really no way to give Wu Laogou a better suggestion.

After all, life is related, and this matter can only be decided by himself.

"I understand."

After understanding the meaning of the wishing words, Old Dog Wu nodded.

Two days passed in a flash.

Taking advantage of the free time, he made a wish and walked most of Changsha City.

Since we can come to this era, of course it is not just to rob graves and dig coffins, otherwise life seems so boring.

I went to Yuelu Mountain, I also went to Mingji Fan Wangfu, and even went to Er Yuehong's theater, and listened to him sing Huagu Opera all night.

Although the tone was strange, it did not prevent him from enjoying the rare leisure.

In the theater building, he met Chen Pi who had not been kicked out of the division.

Completely different from the blind, sinister old guy in my impression, Chen Pi is only 19 years old at the moment, with a flexible and energetic figure, and he doesn't have too many cities.

But the ruthlessness in his bones has already begun to take shape.

The only pity is that I didn't get to meet that lone swordsman from Nine Gates.

He really wanted to meet the black-backed sixth child.

After all, compared to the others, his end was the most miserable.

At five o'clock in the morning, I was used to getting up early to make a wish, and I had already punched in the backyard.

"Master Xu, Lord Fifth is waiting for you in the front hall."

He had just packed his things when someone knocked on the door.

The person who came was the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion.

I don't know what it is called Wishing, but I only know that my surname is Lu, and I have worked with the Wu family for three generations.

His son made a wish and met him once from a distance, a thin young man who is now also Wu Laogou's buddy.

"Tell Fifth Master, I'll be there right away."

The butler nodded, saluted and turned to leave.

After carrying the Seven Star Longquan sword on his back and putting other things in the ring, he went to look for Old Dog Wu.

When he arrived, Old Dog Wu had already counted the companions in the yard.

About thirteen or four people.

Butler Lu's son was among them.

All of them were dressed in bunts, with weapons hidden in their waists, and burdened water bottles on their backs.

"Going out this time is not a small danger. When the time comes, the recruiter will show me the highlights, and I will come back with my life."

Old Dog Wu's voice was not loud, and after a few words, he asked them to go out to prepare horses first. There were all mountainous areas over there, and they had to go to Changsha City. It would take too much time not to ride a horse on the road.

"Brother Xu is here?"

Hearing the movement behind him, Old Dog Wu looked back to make a wish.

He had changed out of his previous clothes and dressed up as a merchant.

It's not surprising to make a wish. When Chen Yulou was stepping on plates in Pingshan, Chen Yulou and the others also disguised themselves.

"Let's go, Master Buddha is probably here." Old Dog Wu estimated the time, and it was getting late.According to Zhang Qishan's fierce work style, he should have arrived at the agreed place long ago.

Wishing just nodded, and walked to the backyard with him, the guys had already prepared the horses, and his one was still there.

A group of people rode through the old town on horseback.

When we arrived at the North Gate, it was around 06:30.

really.

As soon as they left the north gate, they saw Zhang Qishan and Zhang Rishan in the distance.

Both of them also changed into bunts, and they also carried a tobacco box with them, which seemed a little unaccustomed to them.

They had arrived an hour ago, and they had already dispatched many people out in advance, covering twenty miles, disguised as a tea caravan.

Seeing Wu Laogou and Wishing Come, Zhang Qishan beckoned.

"Fifth Master, Brother Xu is here?"

"Buddha!"

Several people met each other.

After chatting for a while, Qi Tiezui came late, but when they saw him, they all had strange expressions on their faces.

Dressed up like an iron-tongued Taoist priest, dressed in Taoist robes, with a treasure bag hanging around his waist, and riding a donkey under him, he came here at a leisurely pace.

It doesn't look like an inverted fight, but rather like going out for a spring outing.

Zhang Qishan frowned fiercely, "I asked you to disguise yourself, why are you so virtuous?"

"Buddha... You don't know this, the Miao and Han people live in the mountains, Taoist priests are the least likely to arouse suspicion."

"It's you tea merchants, who are you going to sell tea to in the mountains?"

Qi Tiezui spoke plausibly, without any sense of shame for being late.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go."

Go west along the railroad tracks.

After entering the mountain, the road became more and more difficult.

Xiangxi is rich in copper mines, and there are at least eleven or twelve mines seen along the way, let alone various associated miscellaneous mines.

The miners live in the deep mountains all year round, surrounded by high walls, and there are natives patrolling with guns. It is a wild Miao border.

After all, it is to find out the truth behind the sarcophagus, and it is not good for the group to have many conflicts with them, so more often, they can only follow the railroad tracks far away on the ridge.

But wild beasts are rampant in the mountains, and those beasts that have been hungry for a long time are astonishingly ferocious, and they move erratically.

Once encountered, it is almost immortal.

The next day when they were staying overnight in the mountains, they encountered a pack of wolves attacking the camp. In a panic, several brothers were killed or injured.

When it was dawn, thirty or forty wolf corpses were left around the entire camp. The blood stained the soil red, and there was a disgusting smell of blood in the air.

Send the injured back to Changsha City for treatment, and the rest continue to move forward.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the fourth day, they finally arrived at the first mining area Zhang Qishan had planned on the map.

At this moment, everyone has seriously deviated from the track.

This was also a helpless move. That section of the railroad track was occupied by the natives, and there was no way to pass through it. The group had to forcibly bypass it.

Wishing to ride on a horse, his body was covered with snowflakes, even though he was wrapped in a padded jacket, he still felt the biting cold wind blowing through the gaps around him, and his face was blown by the wind, like a knife cut.

This is not the most unbearable thing. After several times of wolves, there is basically no fire in the camp and no water source. When I am thirsty, I just grab a handful of snow and stuff it into my mouth.

This kind of life like survival in the wilderness has never been experienced in the two lifetimes of wishing.

Right now, he reached out and raised the brim of his felt hat, trying to see some cooking smoke from the snowflakes in the sky.

The old horse under him was weak, and exhaled two heavy white breaths from his nose, which immediately condensed into frost when it encountered the cold air, his eyes were depressed, and he looked extremely tired.

Reaching out to remove the water bottle from the horse's back, he opened it and made a wish and took a sip.

Suddenly, a strong pungent taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, and he felt a rush of gunpowder-like heat rushing straight to his stomach.

His head buzzed for a while, but fortunately, the cold air finally dissipated a lot.

He took a long breath, made a wish and glanced back, no one in the team spoke, they were all conserving their strength and persevering.

Such a cold weather is a great torture for everyone.

Because of his martial arts practice, he didn't feel much.

But the others didn't have his foundation, especially Qi Tiezui, whose thin body couldn't bear the ravages of this bad weather at all, and it looked as if he would fall off the horse in the next moment.

As a last resort, Zhang Qishan could only let someone ride a horse with him and take care of him at all times, otherwise no one would notice when he passed out from the cold.

"Buddha, there is a cave in front of us."

at last.

Zhang Rishan, who left the team to explore the road, came back.

Dongzhai?

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up subconsciously.

There are caves, which means that there are people living there, not to mention other things, and finally there is a place to live, and maybe you can have a hot meal.

There is no need to sleep in the ice and snow, and the frozen bones are trembling in the middle of the night.

"where?"

There was also a trace of anticipation in Zhang Qishan's eyes.

Although he can still persist, he is also forcibly enduring.

Zhang Rishan pointed at the wind and snow with his whip, "It's just ahead, about a mile or so."

"What are you waiting for."

"drive!"

Zhang Qishan raised his whip and lashed the horse's back fiercely, the old horse neighed, and the horse's hooves stepped on the mud and quickly rushed away from the heavy snow.

The people behind him were not slow and followed quickly.

It only took a few minutes.

Sure enough, I saw a cave village in my wishing sight, but it was built on the mountainside, relying on the ancient tea-horse road.

Below is a huge valley with cliffs on both sides.

If you want to go to Dongzhai, you can only go along the ancient tea-horse road.

When walking halfway, Wishing saw an ancient post station, which was built in the air on the edge of the cliff. A long straw eaves stretched along the mountain road for almost half a mile. the end.

At least it can sleep hundreds of people, but there is an abyss under the pillow, and most people dare not live there.

In the event of an earthquake and mudslide, the entire building will roll down the cliff, and the people sleeping inside will be smashed to pieces, with no hope of surviving.

I have seen this kind of post station in Laoxiongling before I made a wish. Most of them are temporary residences for businessmen and passers-by, and people with various accents gather.

These people dared to go to the deep mountains and old forests like Miaojiang to ask for a living.

"How can people live in this kind of place? If you wake up in the middle of the night and go out to pee, you will fall off the cliff with one foot."

Glancing at the place where he lived, Qi Tiezui's face turned pale with fright.
