Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 179 Nu Qing Xiangxi Engineer Digging Camp

As the saying goes, "rich wealth buries a traitorous heart." He couldn't wait any longer. He saw the rest of the people were overlooking the deep stream with Chen Xiazi. It happened that the mute Kunlun Moleh was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and put it on the ground. Some dry food, water bottles, and bundles of ropes. Luo Laowai reached out and took out the ropes, threw them in front of the mature seedling guide, and forced him to fall down with a long rope to explore the underground palace. He said with a cold look on his face: " I want to show your Luo Shuai how people in ancient tombs never come back. If you, the cave barbarian, have half a broken tooth, don’t blame Luo Shuai for killing him or not burying him." After that, he took the cave barbarian and left him alone. The guide dragged it to the edge of the cliff and pushed it down hard.

There is a gap at the top of Pingshan Mountain surrounded by clouds and mist. This bottomless natural crack exposes the ancient tombs in the heart of the mountain. If we can reach the underground palace directly, we will save a lot of trouble of digging mountains and unloading mountains. But the legend of Pingshan Ancient Tombs It has been rumored for a long time, but no one has ever stolen the treasure from it. Local bandits and bandits have tried to enter the ancient tomb through the cracks in the earthquake several times, and most of them lost their lives. No one can guess what danger is hidden under the clouds.

When the others were not paying attention, Luo Laowai forced the mature young man to explore the ancient cemetery palace under the cliff to see what kind of person he was. The warlord at that time was the King of Heaven. There was a very apt saying among the people at that time. The proverb can describe the warlord's style - "Mala Bazi is a rabbit ticket, Wangba box is a passport". You don't pay for food, drink, prostitution and gambling. When you're done, you just slap the gun case and turn around and leave. You want to kill a few people in the mountains. Common people are more ordinary than squeezing a few ants to death, so how can they care about the life and death of a cave barbarian?

The mature young man was put to the head with the muzzle of the gun. He was so frightened that he urinated on the spot. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground. He hugged Luo Laowai's thigh and begged for mercy. This deep gorge on the top of the mountain was steep and dangerous, and it was very timid. Just looking down from a high place made me feel dizzy and my legs were trembling. I dared not go down to find the ancient cemetery.

Why did Luo Laowai let him know? He dragged him to the edge of the cliff like a dead dog. Just as he was about to kick him off the cliff, he saw the colorful mist in the middle of the mountain suddenly rise, and the deep stream rumbled and echoed like a train passing by. The shaking made all the rocks tremble, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. Chen Xiazi's face changed drastically, he raised his hand and shouted: "It's a pig blocker, what a joke!"

Seeing the leader's message, the rest of the people retreated quickly, knowing that something was not going well. Even Luo Laowai no longer cared about the mature seedling guide. He took a breath and said, "It's dangerous. There really is something famous in this mountain. The rainbow energy in the deep stream is not the treasure energy in the tomb at all. It's all the mirages spit out by poisonous insects. Poisonous pythons, centipedes, long worms... There are no traces of them yet at this time." I can't say what it is, but looking at the momentum, I'm afraid it's poison that has been dormant for hundreds of years. As soon as the sun turns aside, poisonous mirages will rise from the depths. We just stayed on the top of the mountain for a while longer, and now Shi had already been poisoned and died."

Luo Laowai, Hua Maguai and others were all frightened when they heard this. At that time, anti-virus measures were backward. This group of murderous thieves were not afraid of water, fire or weapons, but they were most afraid of poisonous gases. It was unknown what kind of poison was spitting out the poison, so it was difficult to find an antidote. Treatment, once poisoned, it is impossible to survive. In the incision of the Xiling bucket, the poison related to the ancient tomb is called "pig pen". The rotten pigs are pig pens. In ancient times, pig pens were mostly beside the dung pits. The smell of the two smells mixed together was very unpleasant, and everyone avoided it. In the green forest, people said that the poison was in the pig pen, which meant to avoid it. This code word was no longer used after the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. There are already countless people in the "pig pen".

Luo Laowai saw that there were poisonous insects in the belly of the mountain, but he was unwilling to accept it. He asked Blind Chen whether he could just do it.

Blind Chen shook his head and said in a pretentious manner: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, but this is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the mountain first and then worry about it." So while it was still early, he took everyone back to the yizhuang on the mountain. , the bandits used the Dead Man’s Hotel as a temporary command post.

In front of Blind Chen, although Luo Laowai did not kill the caveman guide, he could not just let him go and leak the military plan. He temporarily detained him as a handyman and did some errands with the army, carrying water and sweeping the floor.

Dong Manzi had saved his life, but he still dared to disobey this group of strong men. He hurriedly packed up a spacious room in the Yizhuang, brought a broken Eight Immortals table and a few chairs and put them in. Chen Xiazi, Luo Laowai and others were very careless. We sat down, drank and dined, and spent the whole night plotting how to steal the big tomb in Pingshan.

The leader of Duandou Xiling is Chen Xiazi, and these plans are all arranged by him. After investigation during the day, it can be concluded that there are at least three or five large caves in the heart of Pingshan Mountain, connected to each other by figurine tunnels. The entrance of the figurine tunnels is at Although the area near the "Gate Gate" is well hidden, Blind Man Chen is good at hearing the words. He can hear the wind, rain, thunder and lightning coming to find the dragon's point. It is not difficult to find the approximate location of the tomb gate. As long as there are enough explosives and a few layers of land are blasted, he will definitely be able to find it. It would take a huge amount of manpower and material resources to dig out the underground tomb door, but the tomb of Yuan Dynasty is buried deep in the tomb, and the front is to remove the ridge and break the mountain.

In addition, the deep crack on the top of the mountain has been open for at least two to three hundred years. The two sides are like knives and axes, and colorful mist rises from below. The poisonous gas only weakens slightly when the sun is sufficient, and the mountain gap Although the place can lead directly to the underground palace, there must be something hugely poisonous inside that will reject the ancient tomb as a lair. If you go directly from the deep stream, even if you can avoid the poisonous mirage, you will still be devoured.

Based on these factors, Chen Xiazi felt that it would be difficult to achieve anything by relying solely on the power of mountain-moving, and planned to wait for the mountain-moving Taoist to come to help. However, Huamaguai and others did not know much about the mountain-moving armor-breaking technique, and thought it was all magical legends. This is nonsense and cannot be taken seriously. Today is a world ruled by the barrel of a gun. It is difficult for gods to escape. No matter how powerful you are, even if you hit them with bullets, they will all fall under the gun. Is there really such a thing as "skill" in this world? Can't?

Chen Xiazi scolded, "You are the frogs in the well. You only know that you can rely on the strength of the number of people and the use of some explosives, earthen cannons and thousands of poles and equipment to look down on the world. In today's world, we can get rid of those scattered thieves and thieves." , there are still three types of thieves who have good skills: Faqiu to touch gold, moving mountains, and unloading ridges. To touch gold and rob tombs, "god" is used, to unload ridges and rob tombs is to use "strength", but to move mountains and rob tombs is to use "skills". It is mysterious and unpredictable. It can move mountains and fill the sea. It can fly through the hole of a pin. It can travel thousands of miles without hindrance. How can there be no "skill"?

Huamaguai knew that Chen Xiazi never "grows up others' prestige and destroys his own spirit." Since he said this, he must have attached great importance to Taoist Bishan's art of dividing armor. He also felt that the Pingshan ancient tomb was not a trivial matter, so he advocated using it to dismount the mountain. With their own strength, combined with the skill of moving mountains, the two parties working together is a perfect strategy, and I immediately admired him.

After listening to the strategy mentioned by the bandit leader, Luo Laowai scratched his head anxiously: "Fuck you, grandma, when those bastards come back from Guizhou, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold, and this piece will be on your lips." The fat meat is really unpalatable..." He was reluctant to let Taoist Banshan have a hand in Pingshan. No matter whether Taoist Banshan was looking for medicine or pearls, according to the rules of the road, at least part of the artifacts in the ancient tomb had to be divided. Come on, the Xiling bandits can gather hundreds of master tomb robbers at any time between the three Xiang and four rivers. Moreover, Marshal Luo, who sits in the second position, has tens of thousands of guns. With such strength, it is necessary to To dig an ancient tomb, you have to wait for help from a few Taoists? Whether it spreads out well or not, where will the reputation of the Xieling group of thieves go from now on?

Luo Laowai, based on his own wishful thinking, persuaded Blind Chen not to wait for Taoist monks, but to go it alone. Anyway, he had a well-equipped engineering excavation camp. What kind of ancient tomb couldn't be dug? As long as you plan properly, you won't be able to break the Pingshan Mountain, and it doesn't matter even if you kill or injure 1,800 soldiers. Anyway, human life is worthless these days. As long as there are silver coins and smoke, if we put up the recruiting flag, we will have our own damn food eaters. , there are as many soldiers as we need to eat food, and if there are not enough, we can still recruit strong men. As long as we rob the Pingshan Ancient Tomb and make a huge windfall, we can have as many men and guns as we want. .

Blind Chen is a person who has a very high self-esteem. Even when he was in danger, his life was saved twice by the leader of Banshan, Partridge Sentence. He couldn't help but feel a little bit resentful about this in his heart. He felt that he was always inferior to Banshan Taoist. I heard what Luo Laowai said at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it made sense. If the Xiling bandits were to go it alone, although a lot of people would be lost, if this big thing was really accomplished, the future would be just right. You can let the group of Taoist priests at Partridge Post know what the methods of the Xieling group of bandits led by Chen were, and how much they studied hard in the mountains. This great opportunity to make a name for yourself cannot be missed.

Thinking of this, Blind Chen had made up his mind. He looked around at the crowd and said, "Brothers, the bandits in Xiling all belong to the Red Eyebrow Rebel Army. They have reunited to form a party, roaring in the green forest, adhering to the instructions of the ancestors, doing justice for heaven, and cutting down unstoppable enemies." Righteousness, I have heard that the hungry people wrap their bellies in exchange for food, and the nobles' meat bags are buried in pearls and jade. It is true that the sky has no eyes, and the people hang upside down. Today there is an ancient tomb in Pingshan, with countless gold and pearls inside, which are condensed with the blood and sweat of the people. The people in Xiling are just trying to get the treasures from the tombs, accomplish great things, and help the troubled times."

None of the Xiling chief thieves in the past were as eloquent as Chen Xiazi. He explained the tomb robbing activities in an upright and generous manner. Luo Laowai and others were dumbfounded and admired them. They immediately offered suggestions and made various arrangements for the tomb robbing operation.

Blind Chen first asked Luo Laowai to write a transfer order, stamp it with a monogram, and give it to the mute Kunlun Molecule to take him out of the mountain. He asked him to quickly mobilize the troops and hide and ambush the troops near the ancient border wall of Miao territory. There were three groups, one of which consisted of nearly a hundred people, all Xiangyin thieves, belonging to the group of Xiling thieves directly commanded by Chen Xiazi, and the rest were two groups under Luo Laowai, the largest group numbered several hundred people. It is a so-called "engineer battalion". In fact, in the ranks of this kind of miscellaneous warlords, the various establishments are extremely irregular. Most of them do not set up professional engineering units, and the army formed by Luo Laowai does not build any fortification platoons at all. Landmines are actually inverted troops specially used to dig graves. They are all selected to be bold and unbelieving and want money rather than life. They have received relevant training, are equipped with various equipment for unloading mountains, and are also assigned There are many mules and horses, used to carry explosives, cannon and stones, or to transport stolen treasures.

There is also a "Pistol Company" whose members are all Luo Laowai's cronies, which is equivalent to a supervising team. During the tomb robbery, if anyone wants to embezzle treasures and weapons, or deserts as a deserter, he will be punished on the spot, and the pistol The soldiers of the company are well-equipped, all made in Germany, each with two 20-gun guns, and their combat effectiveness and firepower are very strong.

"Twenty rings" and "big-bellied box" are both common names for German Mauser guns. The largest magazine can hold twenty rounds of bullets, hence the name. At that time, due to the continuous melee between warlords after the Revolution of 1911, the international community in China had An arms embargo was adopted to restrict the Chinese army's purchase of submachine guns and heavy machine guns. However, in order to strengthen the firepower of their troops, the warlords had their own methods and took advantage of the arms embargo. German-made Mauser guns are pistols for self-defense and are not included in the arms embargo. It is embargoed, but this kind of gun has a large caliber, a long range, and a lot of lethality. There is a speed switch on the gun. If you turn on the speed switch, twenty rounds of bullets will be fired out. It can be used as a submachine gun, and it can be used as a submachine gun. The butt increases shooting accuracy and can be used as a carbine. From all aspects, it is a very practical and reliable individual weapon.

Luo Laowai made a fortune by robbing tombs, so he equipped such a pistol company and paid a lot of money to have German instructors train him. He directly commanded and governed. This time he came to Laoxiong Ridge, Mengdong River, Western Hunan to rob tombs. It happened to be in Operations in the vacuum zone between several warlords' territories may lead to armed conflicts. In addition, we must prevent those engineering troops who are resisting Hanyang from suddenly rebelling because of their wealth, so the pistol company was specially transferred here. .

Chen Xiazi meant to start from both the tomb gate and the underground palace at the same time. In addition to explosives, he also asked the engineers to bring a large amount of lime and Chenzhou sand to the Dizi Camp, preparing to use these things to deal with the poisonous insect giant python hidden in the rock crevices. , the mute Kunlun Molle went to accept the order. He was originally a wild man in the mountains. He was born with long arms and legs, and his whole body was knotted with muscles. The soles of his two feet were covered with thick flesh calluses. He looked like a hairless chimpanzee. The journey across mountains and ridges is like walking on flat ground. The journey from Laoxiong Ridge to the Miao border wall is just a trivial matter for him. However, the engineering battalion carries a lot of baggage. He sets off that night and will probably not be able to bring the troops until the evening of the next day. bring back.

After the deployment of the group of thieves, they were silent that night. At dawn, they ordered the guide to take everyone to the foot of Pingshan Mountain. This time, they went around the mountain for the second time to explore Pingshan Mountain. They saw only the surroundings of Pingshan Mountain. The trees are towering to the sky, and there are several clear or turbid waterfalls gushing out from the cracks in the mountains. The guide of Dongmanzi said that there are no water veins in the mountains. It is thought that the heavy rain has accumulated in the mountains and washed out the mud and rocks, draining out the green water. top.
