Chapter 197 Nuqing Xiangxi Cave Mausoleum
The pair of "Chuano Tomb Armor", one large and one small, seemed to have been sleeping in the bamboo basket. Until now, they were crawling on the ground as if they had just woken up from a dream, shaking their bodies and stretching their limbs. Listening to the sound of their sharp claws scraping the ground, you can tell It was so powerful that many of the thieves in the group were unaware of it. They were worried that it would hurt someone, so they involuntarily took a few steps back.
At this time, Hua Ling and the old foreigner stepped forward side by side, grabbed the copper rings on the "Chuangshan Cave Mausoleum Armor", and pressed them firmly to the ground. The pair of long armor kicked around with all four legs, struggling constantly, but they were suffering from being trapped. The copper ring has locked the acupuncture points, and it is difficult to break free even with the force of breaking rocks and penetrating mountains.
The "Crangolin Armor" is a foreign object in the world. Although its appearance is similar to the "Pangolin Armor", in fact the two are still very different. More than two thousand years ago, tomb robbers tamed the "Pangolin Armor". By feeding it refined food and medicine, its forelimbs are particularly developed. After long-term domestication, it can be used as a digging tool for tomb robbers. It was called "Chuanshan Mausoleum Armor" in ancient times.
Most of the ancient tombs at that time were bell-shaped and covered with douqiu. Even if there was no underground palace inside, most of the interiors were wooden coffins, built with layers of wood to form a "huangchangtikuo" pattern, and all tomb bricks were used. There are not many, and there are very few large-scale mountain tombs that "use mountains as hiding places". Ordinary tombs and rammed earth cannot stop the sharp claws of the "Cave Mausoleum Armor".
Later tombs gradually learned from anti-theft experience. The stones became larger and thicker, and the gaps were irrigated with molten copper and iron. As a result, the "Chuanshan Cave Armor" gradually lost its usefulness, but for Ordinary tombs in cold and humid areas in the mountainous areas of Hunan and Guizhou can still be of great use. The ancient art of "Crossing Mountain Cave Mausoleum Armor" has been lost in the Tang Dynasty. In today's world, only Taoists who move mountains can still use it, and it is always the best way to move mountains. The secret method of mountain magic.
The Taoist priests of Banshan do not use the "cutting holes" method of Mojin Xiling. Relying on the accuracy of the points determined by Mojin, the Taoist Mojin is used to using a cyclone shovel to dig holes for thieves. Even the piles of sealed earth cannot stop them from digging randomly; Taoist monks often use "digging mountains to dig holes" to dig holes, which has always been known as the "Three Nails and Four Armors". This "Chuangshan Cave Mausoleum Armor" is only one of the four armors. Outside of Hunan, Guizhou and Guangdong, this technique cannot be used, but they are good at adapting to local conditions, and can also use other "dividing mountains and digging sub-arms", which are all "cut" techniques for moving mountains and fighting against each other.
Partridge Whistle ordered Hua Ling to take out several bamboo tubes, which were full of big red-headed ants, weighing several kilograms. He first fed the two "Chuanshan Cave Lingjia" half full, and then dragged them away. Go to the root of the mountain, use medicinal bait to pound the place where the raccoons were bleeding, and push them to dig out the earth and rocks.
The "Panthera Cave Mausoleum" is a thing that digs into mountains when it sees them. It especially likes the soil and rocks with heavy Yin Qi near tombs. I saw the slightly smaller one standing in front. It bowed forward, shook out its thick armor, and turned its hooked toes. It was so fast that it was dazzling. Digging out hard soil was as simple as digging up beans, and it was easy to penetrate the mountain.
The old foreigner grabbed the other huge "Chuangshan Cave Armor" and tied a chain to its copper ring to make it difficult for it to get into the mountain with the previous one. These two guys are "inseparable from the weight." , if you catch one, you don’t have to worry about the other one deviating from the direction or escaping in the middle. You just shorten the chain and deliberately make the big one spin around in a hurry, making the hole that has been dug bigger and bigger. .
Although the bandits in Xieling were all veterans of back-and-forth fighting, they had never seen this method before. They were stunned to see that these two "cave mausoleum armors" had different body shapes, but they were a perfect match for separate attacks. Digging criss-cross caves, the other one expanded the diameter of the cave, and the speed of digging through the mountain was almost unimaginable to ordinary people. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, how could you have imagined such a strange skill.
This robbery hole dug by the "Chuanshan Cave Mausoleum Armor" is wide enough for people to squat. The angle is parallel to the ground and cuts straight through the sloping mountain roots. It is not far away from the underground palace behind the urn city. Recently, although the double armor is magical and powerful, it really takes a lot of effort to penetrate the middle palace.
Partridge Whistle took the opportunity to sit cross-legged on the ground and close his eyes to rest. Once the Shuangjia Point penetrates the underground palace, he still might not know what kind of danger he would encounter in this strange ancient tomb. He could only hear a rumbling echo in the mountain. Chen Xiazi, the leader of the Xiling Pirates, had already led his troops to plant gunpowder to open up the mountain. But Partridge Whistle knew clearly that the mountains of Pingshan were thick and thick, and the earth color was dense and dense. It would not take a day or two to blast rocks in from the top of the mountain. If you succeed, if there is no hindrance to this pair of "Crossing Cave Mausoleum Armor", you will be able to reach the ancient tomb after dark. I don't know what the pills and beads in the tomb are, but now that you are here, There is no need to be anxious, so I can only paddle slowly to catch the drunken fish and wait for the change. I gradually drift away from things, just like a monk entering samadhi.
The bandits in Xieling did not dare to disturb him, so they sat down at the foot of the mountain to rest. Miss Hong was often by Partridge Whistle these days, and saw that he was full of tricks, free and easy in his manners, and clear in speech. Luo, down to the countless thieves, are either vulgar and rude, or are full of ambitions to become kings and hegemons. Only by marrying someone like him can your life be lived in vain. I can't help but regret that I vowed not to marry for the rest of my life. "I came to the top of the building at night and looked at the bright moon. Only Chang'e was not married." Thinking of this, I sighed softly, but I had already made up my mind. In the future, I would go to the end of the world, and I would go with him anyway, no matter what I had promised and made a bet. Curse, but I don’t know if this mountain-moving Taoist has ever asked for a wife?
Thinking of this, Miss Hong whispered to partridge whistle's junior sister Hua Ling, but it was not easy to inquire directly about this matter, so she had to go around in circles: "Little sister, I see you look like a flower, do you have any luck this year?" Seventeen or eighteen years old? Whoever marries you in the future is really a blessing from his previous life. I wonder if your senior brother has arranged a marriage for you?"
Hua Ling had never heard of such a rule and wondered: "Sister, why is it my senior brother who decides my marriage? My parents are still alive. Although they are bedridden, they are still..."
Miss Hong said: "I logically speaking, since your father-in-law is not feeling well, senior brothers should be concerned about important matters like this. Male seniors should get married, and female seniors should marry, as the saying goes... The radish was pulled out wide from the ground, It saves your worries if you marry me, but your senior brother seems to have a frown all day long, as if he is very worried. I wonder if he has thought about these matters for you. He...has he ever been married? Probably not. Can you take care of it?"
Hua Ling was just seventeen years old and had little contact with outsiders. He didn't understand what Miss Hong meant. He just felt that what she asked was a bit strange. However, many of the thieves in Xieling were veterans of the Fengyue field and had sharp ears to listen. In his ears, he had probably guessed what Miss Hong was thinking. Hearing her go round and round to find the little girl to find out if Taoist Banshan had ever asked for a wife, he couldn't help but be secretly amused. He didn't expect that this iceberg beauty could also be in love.
The more I thought about it, the funnier it became. One of the thieves couldn't bear it anymore and actually laughed a little. Miss Hong heard it clearly. She knew it was bad. She was so anxious just now that she didn't expect the mountain crack. Yin, any words of confidants were also heard by those people.
When she got angry, she slapped the gangster with her backhand, knocking out two of the gangster's front teeth. Others knew how powerful this woman was. In addition to the leader of the bandits in Xiling, she dared to slap even Luo Laowai, who was under Changsheng Mountain. Who among the gang has the guts to mess with her? Everyone quickly straightened their faces and pretended to be nonchalant. The atmosphere seemed extremely awkward.
The red girl had a fever on her face and was about to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. At this time, the old foreigner came out of the thief's hole and two "Pangolins" were also pulled out. He reported to the partridge whistle: "The cave has been dug." Through the mountains and hills, the wind and water rise."
"The wind rises and the water rises" is a phrase commonly used when robbing tombs. "Wind" refers to the air circulation in the ancient tomb, without the accumulated gloomy atmosphere. The urn city in front of Pingshan Mountain is independently closed and is used as a ruin tomb. The trap is a trap, so there is no trace of poisonous insects in the mountain. The hole dug by the "Chuangshan Cave Tomb Armor" just cuts into the sealed tomb passage behind the urn city. "Water" refers to "wealth" or "underworld weapon". If there is water, it will It shows that there is indeed an underground palace.
After hearing the news, Partridge Whistle immediately ordered everyone to prepare to enter the robbery cave. He tied a lantern to his body, looked at two mirror boxes made in Germany, and saw that they were full of bullets, and covered a black gauze. On the face, only two eyes were exposed. The rest of the people also packed up quickly and neatly. They dismantled the centipedes and hung them on the mountain ladder to carry them separately. They stood in front of the thief's cave and waited for their orders.
When the Partridge Whistle saw that everyone was ready, he took out the Nuqing Chicken from the bamboo basket. He saw the rooster Caiyu Kinsuke. He seemed to be able to sense that there was a mortal enemy hidden in the Pingshan Tomb, and knew that there would be a fight to the death today. After a bloody battle, he immediately looked up, flapped his wings and screamed angrily, his spirit seemed particularly exciting.
Partridge Whistle nodded secretly. He didn't care whether the rooster could understand human speech or not, but he actually gave it instructions in public. He saved the angry chicken from the butcher's knife in the mountain villagers' house in Jinfeng Village. He had all the skills. If you use it today, don't let the reputation of the Nu Qing Golden Rooster be ruined, and don't live up to the life-saving grace of Taoist Banshan.
The dozen or so Xiling bandits had seen it and knew that the Angry Chicken could sweep poisonous insects and centipedes out of graves. They had all seen with their own eyes the six-winged centipede that flew out of the chaotic clouds in the deep stream. It was definitely not something that ordinary firearms could withstand. , thinking that as long as this big rooster can make the group of robbers move away from the poison and steal the treasure in the tomb, it will be okay to call you "Chicken Master" from now on. The wealth and life of the group of thieves will all be tied to you. .
The Partridge Post immediately sent out four people, two of whom went to Pingshan Mountain to report to Blind Man Chen. The sound of explosives blasting in the mountain was intermittent and continuous. Maybe the engineering troops on the mountain had not revealed anything yet, since there was a robbery hole in the mountain root. , then asked Blind Chen to bring someone down to join them, while the other two stayed in front of the robbery cave to be in charge of communication.
The rest of the people followed Partridge Sentinel to visit the tomb. After the arrangements were made, he led everyone into the robbery cave. The bandits all carried a lot of iron nails on their bodies. After walking a short distance, they nailed two nails on the wall of the robbery cave. Two long nails were crossed with each other, and a simple leather lantern was put on a stand as a lighting mark.
Along the way, I saw that this thieves' cave through the mountain was dug by the "Chuanshan Cave Mausoleum Armor" to be extremely open and flat. People can go in without squatting, just bend down and move forward. The soil, as well as many solid rock formations, were actually penetrated by Shuangjia holes. I couldn't help but secretly praise the ancient tomb robbing technique of "Crossing Mountain Cave Mausoleum Armor".
The length of the thief's cave was shorter than what Partridge Whistle had previously estimated, but it was still a few hundred steps away. The group of robbers carefully drilled the hole and walked around. It took them a long time to reach the end. The place they came out of happened to be a sloping ramp. On the ramp The paved stone slabs have been pushed away. I held the torch and looked around. I saw that the lower part was blocked by huge stones, leaving no gap. Going up the slope, I saw huge bluestone roofs at the top.
Occasionally, there will be one or two centipedes scurrying away in the cracks of the stone wall. Their physical properties are incompatible. This thing and the angry chicken are like fire and water. They can only run for their lives. The poisonous insects in the entire mountain are originally in the night and dark places. They all spit out poisonous mirages, but with the crow of the Angry Rooster, none of these poisonous insects dared to spit out venom, and they desperately burrowed deep into the mountain crevices in order to get as far away from this natural enemy as possible.
The partridge whistle knew that there were many traps and ambushes in this ancient tomb, so he did not dare to rely on his superiors. He walked slowly along the wide slope. A group of thieves hung on the mountain ladder against the centipede and followed him around. Not far away, he saw There is a huge stone tablet on the rock wall, with four big characters on it, dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air. Partridge Whistle picked up the lamp to look at it, and saw the four characters "Reflection of the Red Dust", but he didn't know what they meant.
When you reach the end of the slope, you pass through a stone beam with reliefs of clouds and dragons, and suddenly there is a bright light in front of you. In a mountain cave in Nuoda, there are several grand halls with double eaves resting on the mountain. The palaces are towering, with towering pavilions and flying eaves. The brackets are densely arranged, and the carved beams and painted pillars are solemn and solemn. The lights outside the central hall are brightly lit, and the view is endless, making the golden bricks and blue tiles particularly brilliant.
There is stone smoke rising from the rock formations in the cave, making the palace as bright as the Milky Way filled with incense, giving off an indescribable remoteness and mystery. It is no different from the fairyland on earth in the paradise of cave heaven, but it looks particularly gloomy in the heart of the mountain, and is shrouded in clouds and smoke. , it looks extremely unreal and ethereal, like an illusion in the water. No wonder there is an inscription of "Reflection of the Red Dust".
It turns out that although Pingshan is solid, due to the long-term tilt of the mountain, there are many large or small cracks in the mountain. However, it is difficult to see from the outside. The heart of the mountain is a geomantic treasure land, with endless vitality. The ancient relics hidden in the mountain have been preserved for a long time. Newly, the "ten thousand year candles and glazed lamps" between the pavilions and pavilions are arranged completely according to the layout of the star palace, which is complex but not chaotic, and the atmosphere is rigorous.
This place was originally a "fairy palace" dedicated to the royal family's collection of elixirs and refining medicine. It has been operating and constructed since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Many of the monuments are of different ages, but there is a royal atmosphere everywhere, and those glazed lamps are filled with precious thousand-year-old treasures. A ten-thousand-year candle, a weak lamp can burn for thousands of years. After hundreds of years, most of the lamps are still on, especially the eight-treasure glazed lamps, which are illuminated by the candlelight.
