Ghost Blowing Lantern II

A group of thieves chopped off chicken heads and burned yellow paper, and made an alliance. They stole the pill pills and pearls from the ancient tomb, and all of them belonged to the Taoist monks. All the rest of the buried artifacts and treasures were obtained by the Xiling thieves. Then they lit "lanterns and torches" , bright seeded pine", left Laoxiong Ridge Yizhuang, and went into the mountains to rob tombs under the moonlight.

The team that went into the mountain to rob the tomb was led by engineers. Among the engineers under Luo Laowai, there were also many people who had put incense sticks in the "Changsheng Mountain". Putting incense sticks meant joining the gang in the green forest. This group of people and the unloaders Like the Ling group bandits, they all wore cinnabar silk ribbons on their arms as a mark.

The rest of the engineering soldiers are no different from those who work as soldiers in the ordinary warlord team. They are equipped with machine guns and explosives, and carry tools such as pries, pickaxes, shovels, and axes for digging mountains. In addition, each person also has To bring an extra live chicken in a bamboo basket, the engineers marched in a loose formation amidst the chaotic sounds of chickens.

Although they were walking awkwardly on the mountain road, the faces of these soldiers were full of excitement, and they did not care about the dangers they encountered during the two tomb robberies in Pingshan Mountain, because most of them were looking forward to fighting with Shopkeeper Chen and Mr. Luo. If a handsome tomb robber makes a fortune, once he digs out the real underground palace, although the soldiers will not get much of the benefits, according to past practice, ten pieces of foreign money and a large piece of hibiscus paste are indispensable. Although tomb robbing is indeed risky, but nowadays The warlords in the world are fighting in chaos, and people are in despair. Even if they rob tombs and encounter evil spirits, it is better than going to the battlefield and being shot directly. At least they dig graves and pay real money after bleeding and sweating. The only reason for being a soldier is to eat food. A bowl of rice to eat, how many of them came to serve as soldiers for the purpose of fighting?

Following the engineering troops were the Xiling bandits directly commanded by Chen Xiazi. They had lost hundreds of brothers twice before, and a group of smart and capable bandits were temporarily transferred from Xiangyin. These people were also "invisibly and secretly" ”, all of them have real characters.

The mountain-moving Taoist Partridge Shao, along with the old foreigner and Hua Ling, also mingled among the bandits in Xiling. Partridge Shao himself packed the Nu Qing chicken in a bamboo basket and hid a twenty-ring mirrored box gun. His younger brother, the old foreigner, His appearance is so unique that he looks like a man from the Western Regions, and he is only in his early twenties. His sideburns and beard have already grown very thick, and his physique is very burly, so he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties. A strong man, this person has a generous personality and is not good at words. Anyway, he will do whatever his senior brother Partridge Whistle says.

Hua Ling's appearance is similar to that of a partridge whistle. Except for the slightly eagle nose and deep eyes, he is no different from the Han people. He carries a medicine cage with him. Nowadays, these three are the only Taoist monks who can rob tombs. , this time when they entered Pingshan, the three of them were all carrying heavy "Mountain Digging Armor". This thing was the secret of Banshan Taoist. No one had seen them use it, not even Chen Xiazi, the leader of the Xiiling Pirates. I don’t know its details either.

The mountainous area of ​​western Hunan is home to "eight hundred strange peaks, three thousand beautiful waters, and ten steps to the sky." The mountain topography is completely different from the outside world. When a group of thieves came to Pingshan, the sky was already bright, and they saw only mountains and jungles, green and green, but this mountain The gully was filled with mist and mist, and there was a faint mist. There were many strange and evil things like the "White Old Lady". However, a large number of troops entered the mountain, and the murderous aura on the soldiers' bodies was so heavy that the mist was diluted.

Blind Man Chen asked the Partridge Sentinel to observe the situation in Pingshan Mountain. He would not be able to move mountains and unload ridges without using Jin Xiaowei's skill of "mountain shape on the outside and checking the ground veins on the inside". However, Blind Man Chen was good at using the word "smell" to figure out how much space there was in the mountains. It has been known for a long time that the urn city where the mercury mechanism was instilled has been buried by the quicksand in the mountains. There should be a hall of the underworld in the mountains, and its approximate location is in the middle of the "bottle belly".

However, since the mountain is covered with bluestone, it is difficult to distinguish the traces of mud by looking at the color of the grass. To find the entrance to the real underground palace tomb passage, there may be no entrance at all. The real entrance is only the organ city, which was blocked by the huge boulders filled with copper juice when the Hades Palace was closed. It seems that if you want to enter the ancient tomb and steal the treasure, you can only go down the cliff from the top of the mountain, which leads directly to the apse. However, the apse and the underground palace are also blocked by stones. Without going down, a large team of people will not be able to move those things away. Boulders blocking the road.

Chen Xiazi planned to lead people down from the mountain crevices, first scatter a large group of live chickens, wipe out the poisonous insects hidden in the apse and mountain crevices, and then use explosives to blow up a passage directly to the Hades Palace, or still use explosives as a weapon. Lord, choose a weak position on the ridge, blast through the rocky mountain, and dig out the underground palace. This is a common trick used by mountain warriors. Although it is feasible, it requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources.

The Partridge Whistle looked at Pingshan and pondered for a moment. This mountain is really strange. The mountain is so crooked that it is about to collapse. There are huge cracks on the mountain. Moreover, the mountain is shaped like a vase. I am afraid that the vase containing the elixir from the sky has fallen to the earth. Time, otherwise how could there be such a miraculous creation? He looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved. If you can't get in from the mountain, why not go in from the bottom of the mountain?

I saw that the sloping mountain of Pingshan formed an angle with the ground, with vines hanging upside down and gurgling water. The angle between the mountain and the ground gradually shrank and narrowed as the sloping stone wall above gradually shrank and narrowed, and the sunlight was blocked by the clouds and mist of the mountain. The bottom is like night.

Although Partridge Whistle doesn't understand Feng Shui, he is clever and has the ability to observe the mud and distinguish the soil. The large gap at the bottom of the mountain has not seen sunlight for thousands of years and is a shady place. However, the dense vines and baskets inside indicate that the root of the mountain is not perfect. It's a rock. It definitely takes less effort to dig up from the dead end at the bottom of the mountain than from top to bottom.

Everyone discussed on the spot and decided to divide the troops into two groups. Chen Xiazi and Luo Laowai led the engineering battalion, buried blast holes on the ridge, blasted the mountain and blasted rocks to excavate the tomb passage, while the partridge sentry led the mountain Taoist and others. A group of bandits from the Xiling Mountain were looking for an entrance from the bottom of the mountain. There were enough people entering the mountain this time, so it was time to attack on both sides. No matter which way they succeeded, they would have obtained the treasures in the Pingshan Ancient Tomb.

A large number of live chickens confiscated were given to Chen Xiazi. These big roosters were enough to drive away the poisonous insects in the tombs. The chickens crowed all over the mountains and fields, making the poisonous mist and poisonous mirages in the cracks of Pingshan completely disappear. The little centipede seemed to know that a nemesis had entered the mountain. It hid in the deep roots of the rocks and lay dormant. Where could it dare to spit out the poisonous miasma? Chen Xiazi and his group were busy sniffing the ground and digging holes. The blast hole, don’t mention it.

Shan said that the only angry chicken was carried by a partridge whistle. In addition to the other two mountain-moving Taoist Hua Ling and the old foreigner who followed him, there was also a dozen Xiling bandits led by Miss Hong to supplement it. , when ready, he turned to the back mountain. The area at the bottom of the mountain is not so easy to get to. From the mountain pass to the bottom of the mountain, there are heavy rocks and steep rocks. There is no way to pass. You have to go down from the steep mountain top.

From top to bottom, although there are dangerous paths to climb, they are almost all steep cliffs and rocks that go straight up and down. A timid person will feel his calf muscles twisting just by looking down. Partridge Whistle and other mountain movers are all highly skilled and daring people. The group of brothers led by Miss Hong are also good at Changsheng Mountain. They use centipedes to hang mountain ladders and climb down the dangerous paths of cliffs without any effort.

The Partridge Whistle saw that although the centipede-hanging mountain ladder had a simple structure, it was an ingenious tomb-robbing instrument with great effects. He couldn't help but secretly admire this set of tools passed down from the Xiling Qundao.

Like apes, the group of people climbed the vines and ladders and quickly descended to the bottom of the mountain. Looking up, the bottle shoulders and bottle mouths of Pingshan were all green and green hanging high above their heads. From a distance, in addition to the strange and steep mountains, the mountains were strangely beautiful and steep. I didn’t think it was scary. When I reached the bottom of the mountain, I saw that this bluestone mountain was so majestic and formidable. Thousands of huge rocks were hanging slanted in the air for tens of thousands of years. If the mountain suddenly suddenly If the cave collapses, everyone below will be smashed to pieces, and even the gods will not be able to dodge. Although the thieves are brave, they can't help but breathe heavily when they see the dangerous situation of the mountain.

After walking a few steps forward, water droplets seeping out from the rocks fell on their heads. The water was bone-chilling cold, so everyone had to put on their bamboo hats, put on their raincoats, carry lanterns and move forward. Those rattan baskets blocking their way were walking extremely slowly, the rocks above their heads were getting lower and lower, and the gloomy moisture around them was extremely heavy, making the group of thieves feel oppressive.

After walking a few hundred steps, in front of us is a pool formed by accumulated rainwater in the mountains. Due to being soaked in cloudy water all year round, the ground has sunk in. The water is very deep, and the water surface is full of duckweeds. The dripping water stirs up ripples. There were also many long vines hanging down in the water. The Partridge Whistle saw that there was really a cave at the bottom of the mountain, which further confirmed his previous judgment. However, this place was deep and closed, and the water was deep. If he wanted to continue walking in, he could only climb the vines. The Partridge Whistle can certainly use this method, but the rest of the people may not be able to do it. Is it possible to swim in this biting and cold water? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown slightly.

Miss Hong saw what he meant and asked her men to hang the centipedes on the mountain ladder to form a net. The bamboo tube was hollow and extremely buoyant, so it could be used as a bamboo raft for crossing the water.

Partridge Whistle nodded in praise, immediately stepped onto the raft made of bamboo ladders, raised the lantern to illuminate, and after seeing the direction clearly, he ordered everyone to paddle forward, and the three rafts headed straight towards the center of the pool.

Halfway through the water, Miss Hong was in front of the bamboo raft. She could hear countless crawling things in the darkness in front of her. Although she was also a person with excellent eyesight, she was not as good as Chen Xiazi, who was born with adventures. In the ancient tomb I had my night eyes opened, so I couldn't see clearly in such a dark place.

She had seen this bottle of poison latently formed in the mountains, and she knew something was going on ahead. She hurriedly took out three throwing knives and stared at the front with all her concentration. If something came out, she would first use the moon door to stab it a few times. Say it again.

Partridge Whistle had already noticed it, but he was experienced and carefully used his ear sounds to distinguish it. As the bamboo raft moved forward, the noise in front became louder and louder. It seemed that a group of rats were biting each other, and the dense crowd also heard it. There was no doubt how many there were, but a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he shouted, "Down!" He quickly pressed down the flower spirit beside him and lay down on the bamboo raft.

Miss Hong and others were startled when they heard the sound, and hurriedly knelt down. At this moment, they heard a rumble, and countless bats flew out from the rock wall in front, like a black tornado, flying across the narrow rock wall and water surface. In between, they flew outside. Because there were too many of them, and they were frightened and flew out, many of them were squeezed by their companions and fell into the water, or hit their heads against stone walls and rattans, making bursts of miserable neighing. , echoing repeatedly at the bottom of the mountain.

On the bamboo raft, one of the Xiling gangsters was a little slow to react and was wrapped up by numerous bats. The bats did not intend to hurt anyone, but were frightened and subconsciously bit into something to protect themselves. Their claws were also very sharp and hung from their bodies. A large piece of skin and flesh could be removed with just one move. There was no way for the man to resist the struggle. In an instant, the skin and flesh on his body were torn off, leaving a bloody and fleshy skeleton falling into the water. He screamed before he died. The sound of silence echoed on the rock wall.

Partridge Whistle didn't expect that there would be so many bats hiding in the rock crevices at the bottom of the mountain. He was quick to think and quickly slapped the chicken coop hard. The angry chicken inside suddenly crowed, and the sound was loud and clear. On the water surface, the rooster singing at dawn is a sign of the separation of yin and yang between heaven and earth, but bats only appear at night, and the physical properties are naturally in conflict with each other. The Angry Rooster is not a mortal thing, so it really frightened the large group of bats and fled in all directions, no longer daring to escape from the bamboo raft. After passing by, everything disappeared within a short time.

When the thieves saw that a brother had been killed just after they entered the mountain, they all felt in danger. They felt that this was not a good omen. These people were used to the life of licking blood with the blade of a knife. They had seen many things about life and death. Grave robbers It's not surprising that several people died at one time, but the death of that accomplice just now was so tragic that it made people feel horrified.

Fortunately, the large group of bats came and went faster, and the pool at the bottom of the mountain quickly reached the end. The bottle mountain is inserted into the earth here, and the bottom is full of rocks. The narrowest point is no longer accessible. If you stand straight and look up, you will Hitting the cold rocks above.

Everyone followed the partridge whistle and got off the bamboo raft. Suddenly they heard the sound of drinking water in front of them. They felt strange. They picked up the lamp and looked around, and they couldn't help but say "Eh".

Under the dim light, I saw more than a dozen mounds of earth at the base of the mountain, which were piles of graves one after another. Most of them were soaked in water and mud, leaving half of the coffins in the graves exposed. Among them was a coffin with a conspicuous white stubble. A large pool of smelly blood seeped out from the top of the coffin. A little raccoon was lying on the lid of the coffin, greedily sticking out its tongue to lick the black blood.

The raccoon was just lying on the coffin licking the blood with a very greedy expression. It was completely unaware that a group of people were coming from outside. Not long ago, Partridge Whistle brought two other Taoist monks to move the mountain. In addition to using the round light technique on the ancient raccoon monument, The "Old White Lady" who eats human intestines. The mountains near Pingshan are cold and cold, and raccoons are not common. Unexpectedly, I bumped into another one at the root of the mountain. Judging from its coat color and evil demeanor, I knew it was the old raccoon from the ancient raccoon monument. Great-grandson of the son.

There was no need for Partridge Whistle to do something like this. The old foreigner with curly eyes and curly hair, his junior brother, took a step forward, pinched the raccoon dog with his big iron-like hands, and carried it to his senior brother to be punished.
