When the Partridge Whistle heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Chen's words are serious. I followed the brothers to rob this tomb and found a clue to the Muchen Bead in the tomb.
The Muchen Bead is something that my Shishan sect has been searching for for thousands of years. It is related to the rise and fall of our clan. If all the heroes from Feisheng Mountain help me today, I am afraid that my two junior brothers and sisters will still be wandering around Guizhou like looking for a needle in a haystack. This is the end of the world.
A great kindness.
The next time Brother Chen goes into the mountains to rob a tomb, no matter how difficult the mountain or the river, I, Partridge Whistle, will definitely follow him and risk his life to repay this great kindness just in case. Otherwise, I, Partridge Whistle, will be taught to be a cripple with short legs and short arms for the rest of my life.
"
The two of them were so excited that they cast a curse inadvertently, but neither of them really took it seriously.
Zhang Lin heard the words on the side, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the bronze man in the hand of the partridge whistle, and said: "You two, I would like to advise you two, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Linke remembered that when Chen Yulou later led people to steal the king's tomb, he really ruined a pair of his tricks. The last generation of Xiling leaders ended up living in loneliness and poverty, relying on the streets to tell people their fortunes.
day.
And when Partridge Whistle went to the Tongtian Buddhist Temple in Heishui City, he also broke his arms and went in.
Zhang Lin spoke, and the two of them were surprised, but before they asked in detail, they suddenly heard the chaotic sound of gunfire in the distance. They carefully discerned the movement, and it seemed that several bandits who were spying on the treasures in Pingshan got angry.
Now that the Xieling bandits were seriously injured, Luo Laowai was buried in the snake's belly, causing parts of it to fall apart. Chen Yulou was afraid of encountering a large group of bandits, so he quickly called everyone to retreat.
Led by Chen Yulou, the Xiling people spent their time robbing tombs near Pingshan Mountain. They were also familiar with the surrounding terrain, so they took a small path out of the mountain.
The group crossed mountains and rivers and reached the border wall of the Miao border. They finally returned to the group and retreated to their hometown in Xiangyin without stopping.
After returning to Xiangyin, Zhang Lin said goodbye to everyone and went to meet Mr. Chen.
The bandits were exhausted and rested for several days before regaining their energy.
Although Rong Baoxiao was not as good as before, he died because he did not hold his breath in the tomb and inhaled too much yang marrow. Also because Zhang Lin and Partridge Whistle hesitated, he was sucked in too much yang marrow by the Xiangxi Corpse King.
Although he took the Yin Dan, he was too old and frail to survive the bumpy journey and died before reaching Xiangyin.
This made Zhang Lin lament that the damned person could not be saved no matter what, it was God's will.
As the thieves regained their strength, Chen Yulou realized that his position as the helmsman of Changsheng Mountain was in jeopardy.
From ancient times to the present, the most serious tomb robbery by the Xieling Group may have been the robbery of the Fapingshan Ancient Tomb.
Although all of his confidants are now healthy, Luo Laowai's troops have fled and scattered, and most of them cannot be gathered together.
But this time Xiling actually ran away when faced with the warlords and bandits who picked up the leaks, causing Changsheng Mountain to lose its prestige on the ground in Hunan.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but get angry about this, knowing that the current situation was not optimistic. If he didn't steal a big tomb and make a fortune, it would be impossible to make a comeback.
But now most of the ancient tombs in the surrounding provinces have been destroyed. Where are the large ancient tombs of the princes and kings? After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea.
In his early years, when Chen Yulou first debuted, he often fought in the south, from Guangdong and Lakes to Yunnan and Jiangxi. He traveled everywhere. He once robbed the tomb of the Dian King in Lijiashan, Yunnan.
The tombs of the ancient Dian Kingdom in Lijiashan are stacked one on top of another. Many tomb robbers in the past dynasties have dug up treasures in this mountain.
However, precisely because the tomb of the Dian King in Lijiashan is so obvious, it has been stolen countless times since the Song Dynasty. Instead of nine out of ten tombs being empty, it is basically ten out of ten tombs.
When Chen Yulou went there, he was already in the Republic of China.
When he led his people to Lijiashan, they found that it was already in a desolate state where "the stone figures had their eyes closed and the pillars burned silently", which was like a desolate place where thousands of holes had been dug out.
In the field of tomb robbing, those who rob other people's tombs that are left behind are called filter pits.
The first group of tomb robbers who found the ancient tombs and entered the tombs had the most to gain. They returned home laden with gold, jewels and jade, while the rest were looked down upon.
Although the second group of tomb robbers who came in saved some effort, most of the valuable artifacts were lost to them, so they had to pick up what was left by the first group.
For example, the burial robe worn by the corpse of the tomb owner, the copper lamps, clay pots, human figurines, stone animals, etc. in the tomb chamber were all looted by the second group of people.
When the third group of tomb robbers came in, basically there was only an empty coffin and four corners left in the tomb.
But the truth is that thieves never leave empty-handed. The third group of thieves cannot return empty-handed. If there are murals in the tomb, they will cut off the murals. If there are no murals, they will dig out the tomb bricks and tiles. Finally, they have to drag back the coffin boards.
, wash it once, and then sell it to a coffin shop to be used as coffin materials.
When Chen Yulou arrived at Lijiashan, he saw that among the tombs of ancient Dian princes and nobles, there were only mud holes left. It had not been known that they had been robbed by the people, and the thieves had filtered the holes many times, and not even the bones of the dead were left behind.
People are left.
However, Chen Yulou was quite lucky at that time. They did not give up and dug through several mud ponds with deep mud-colored grass marks. They discovered a tomb of the last Dian king that had only been stolen two or three times.
However, there are no obvious artifacts in this tomb. There is only an empty coffin. The material is extraordinary, as it is all precious wood from the primitive forests of Yunnan.
At that time, Chen was not in a good mood and had the coffin boards removed. Unexpectedly, a human skin map was found inside. He went back and asked a skilled craftsman to restore it. The area depicted on the map turned out to be the specific location of King Xian's tomb.
Most of the tomb robbers know the various legends about the "Tomb of King Xian". It is said that the ancient tomb was built extremely luxuriously and that thousands of people were sacrificed. Moreover, the underground palace is a palace in the sky. Mortals who want to enter the ancient tomb to pay homage to King Xian will do so.
You can only reach it by riding a small boat from the Tianhe River and crossing the Yin River. And if you go there, you will never come back. You will have to stay there to serve King Xian.
This tomb exists in heaven but does not exist on earth. It will never be defeated by tomb robbers.
These legends have been circulating for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will gradually become distorted. Many veterans in the tomb robbing business believe that the "Xian Wang Tomb" is just a legend.
Thinking about the emperors like Emperor Qin, Wu of Han, Zong of Tang, and Emperor Song, they could only build their tombs underground. How could he, a grass-headed emperor in southern Xinjiang, build ancient tombs in the halo of dragons in the sky?
Absolutely not true.
Seeing that it was difficult to find the ancient tombs around him, and eager to make a big move, Chen Yulou came up with the idea of ​​offering the king's tomb, and immediately took out the human skin map to discuss it in detail with Partridge Whistle.
At this time, Partridge Whistle was only thinking about the Muchen Bead hidden in Heishui City of Western Xia Dynasty. He had no interest in presenting the king's tomb, and all his spiritual life was devoted to the Muchen Bead.
Moreover, the legend of the Worm Valley in Yunnan is illusory, and it is not certain whether there is a tomb dedicated to the king in the world. If you mobilize an army to go to Yunnan, you may not be able to gain anything.
So he told Chen Yulou that he would first go to the desert of Heishui City to steal the treasure, and after that, he would help the Xiling group to find the tomb of King Xian.
Chen Yulou disagreed, and now it is urgent to consolidate the position of the helmsman of Changshengshan.
Logically speaking, it would be far easier for them to find King Xian's tomb in the deep mountains and forests than to find Heishui City buried under the yellow sand.
After all, they now have a human skin map with a standard and clear route for reference, and finding ancient ruins in the desert is really harder than climbing to the sky.
At least he, Chen Yulou, had never heard of tomb robbers hunting for treasures in the desert.
The boundless desert has always been a forbidden area that is difficult for tomb robbers to set foot in. It is difficult to use the method of moving mountains and unloading mountains in such a place.
The Banshan faction often travels alone, and the Partridge Post went to Heishui City in Western Xia not to let the Xiling group of thieves help.
But he was open-minded and told Chen Yulou frankly.
Speaking of tomb robbing in the desert, in fact, the entire family lineage of Banshan Taoists migrated from the deserts of the Western Regions to the south of the Yangtze River. They also went deep into the desert many times to search for ancient ruins, but that was thousands of years ago.
As early as the Han Dynasty, Banshan Taoist priests had exhausted their efforts to find the Muchen Bead. At that time, some people thought that if they could not find the Muchen Bead, they might as well return to their ancestral home, Shuanghei Mountain, and go to the bottomless ghost cave in the Zagrama Sacred Mountain.
If we look into it, we can't find the source of the evil curse.
However, at that time, the Shuanghei Mountains of Zagrama had been occupied by the Ghost Cave People. They built a city at the end of the Shuangsheng Valley, with the country name: Jingjue
Among them, Queen Jingjue is an extraordinary person.
Legend has it that Queen Jingjue can capture people with her eyes. Some people say that her magic is a moving magic, while others say it is a magic that uses round light to capture souls. No one knows her true identity. There are many people in the thirty-six countries in the Peacock River Basin.
Fertilization is absolutely controlled.
The mountain-moving Taoist sneaked into the heavily guarded Zagrama Mountain several times, but was discovered by the guards and lost several lives out of thin air.
Later, a Taoist named Banshan finally came up with a clever plan to deal with Jingjue Kingdom.
The reason why Jingjue is so powerful is because the queen of the country is so powerful. As long as this person is removed, the city can be broken down easily.
So this senior Banshan Taoist pretended to be a fortune teller from the far east, and used the art of vertical and horizontal alliances to make the countries in the Western Regions, which were enslaved by the Jingjue, share the same hatred. The countries joined hands and secretly planned to gather people.
Ma, raised troops to attack the main city of Jingjue. Taoist Banshan prepared slow medicine and hid it in the meat of the golden lamb. Prince Gumo, the first warrior of the thirty-six kingdoms, brought the golden lamb to sacrifice Queen Jingjue and used the slow medicine to harm her.
took the queen's life.
The weakness of Queen Jingjue is that she thinks too highly of herself. She is the bright moon in the desert that eclipses the stars. She thinks that only a god-like figure like her can taste the golden lamb. Sure enough, she fell into this trick and soon became poisonous.
He died in a fatal accident and was buried in the bottomless ghost cave of Zagrama Mountain. When the coalition forces of various countries, which had been ambushing in the desert for a long time, learned of the queen's death, their morale was immediately boosted and they stormed into the city with all their strength.
The coalition forces slaughtered all the best people in the city regardless of good or bad. The fierce fighting lasted from the early morning of the first day to the early morning of the second day, and finally the underground palace fell.
The soldiers of the Allied Forces, who had a deep hatred for Queen Jingjue, were about to dig up the Queen's ancient tomb, whip her corpse to vent their hatred, and then empty out the large amount of treasures that the Queen had collected. However, they did not expect that suddenly sand and rocks suddenly flew in the desert, and the sun and moon were dimmed.
The black sandstorm that swallowed everything was like the whip of the true god. Wherever it went, the sand dunes moved, and the sandstorm was like the sky pouring down, covering everything in the Zagrama Mountains.
The coalition forces that invaded the city, including the Taoist Banshan Taoist who planned to assassinate Queen Jingjue, were all swallowed up by the desert.
In the following thousands of years, only after desert storms have passed, the ancient city of Jingjue will occasionally reveal its mysterious veil. As the quicksand moves into the world, after the sandstorm ends, this ghost-eyed city, like a flash in the pan, will sink again.
Into the rolling yellow sand.
The rest of the mountain-moving Taoists were not willing to give in. After that, they continued to go deep into the desert, looking for the Shuanghei Mountains buried deep under the yellow sand, but they all returned in vain.
It took several generations of people to move mountains, and they tried their best, but could not find the unmarked Zagrama Sacred Mountain, so the idea was finally given up.
During this period, Taoist Banshan who entered the desert encountered countless adventures and accidentally found some ancient monuments and ancient tombs. Finally, he came to a consensus to search for ancient tombs and cities in the desert without any special geographical markers. For Taoist Banshan,
Not even a one in ten thousand chance.
After Chen Yulou heard these old stories, he was ambitious and couldn't help but imagine - he led a large group of thieves deep into the desert, dug out mountains of gold and silver treasures in the ancient city, and returned to Xiangyin to do something earth-shattering.
activity,
If you do something impressive for Green Forest Road, the man named Chen might be the founding ancestor of our country in the future, and let the American, British, and Japanese barbarians who have repeatedly offended our Chinese nation come to me one by one to write a letter of surrender and accept the order.
Table, make offerings every year, come to court every year.
In this way, he followed his heart, lived up to his lifelong ambition, and left a name of "Xiling" in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
The Partridge Whistle saw that Blind Man Chen's face was cloudy and clear for a while, as if he was happy and sad. How could he tell how ambitious he was? He asked him what was distracting him.
Only then did Chen Yulou come to his senses and sighed again and again. He also understood that going to the desert to hunt for treasure was ultimately a wishful thinking to the bandits in Xiling.
Not to mention his mere tens of thousands of people, even if they were doubled again, they would only be like a drop in the ocean in the boundless desert, and they would not be of any use. God knows where to dig them out.
Chen Yulou thought of this and asked Partridge Whistle: "Brother Partridge, since there is no trace in the desert, why do you still want to look for Xixia Heishui City?
As far as Brother Wei knows, as early as hundreds of years ago, a storm of quicksand swept across the sky and completely buried that famous Xixia city. Just like the ancient city of Jingjue, it is probably impossible to find it now, so you might as well follow me.
Going to Yunnan to rob tombs according to the map, there are still some clues to be found. With the abilities of you and me brothers, what big thing in the world can't be done?
Hearing this, the Partridge Whistle shook his head and said: "Heishui City in Western Xia was buried by quicksand. The art of moving mountains and reclamating the sea is indeed ineffective. However, it has been said since ancient times that there is a gold captain in the world who is good at searching mountains for dragons and dividing gold to fix holes.
,he
There is a secret technique of Star Feng Shui in the "Xunlong Jue". You can look up at the stars and inspect the earth's veins. If you can learn this technique, or ask Captain Mo Jin to help you, you can find the ancient ruins of the Tongtian Buddhist Temple in Heishui City, just like searching for something."
Chen Yulou said: "Brother, I have also heard of the gold-touching captain's ability. However, it is said that when it was passed down to Zhang Sanye's generation in the late Qing Dynasty, there were only three gold-touching talismans left in the world. After the Republic of China, there were no more.
I’ve heard of stories about people touching gold. Even if there are three or two experts who know how to divide gold and fix acupuncture points in the world, where can we find such an expert?"
The Partridge Whistle laughed and said: "To be fair to Brother Chen, I have inquired clearly. It is said that the abbot of Kunai Temple was a 'gold-touching school captain' before he became a monk.
Chen Yulou hesitated and said, "Really? But in today's world, there are so many people who cheat and cheat. Have you ever had any dealings with that elder? Do you know his true or false origins? And
