Luo Laowai encouraged: "I said to the boss, you have hundreds of masters of tomb robberies, and I have tens of thousands of guns. With such strength, to dig out an ancient tomb, you need to wait for the help of a few mountain movers? According to legend
Whether it's nice to go out or not, where will the Xieling group of thieves put their face in the future?
It depends on me, Lao Luo. Anyway, I have a well-equipped engineer digging camp with plenty of guns and ammunition, and you have a group of experienced men. What kind of ancient tomb can't be dug?
As long as you plan properly, you won't have to worry about breaking the bottle mountain, even if you kill or injure 1,800 soldiers, it doesn't matter. Human lives are worthless these days anyway.
As long as there are silver coins, smoke and soil, and food and grass, and we put up the recruiting flag, there will be damn people who will eat the food. There will be as many soldiers as there are people who will eat the food. If there is not enough, we can still recruit strong men.
As long as we rob the Pingshan Ancient Tomb and make a huge fortune, we can have as many guns as we want.
So you and I simply gather people to take action now. There is no need to wait for the mountain-moving Taoist. If you always feel guilty and are afraid of breaking your trust, then we will take out all the elixirs in it. No matter whether they can be used or not, we will give them all to you.
They are."
Chen Yulou himself is a person who has a very high self-esteem. When he was in danger before, his life was saved twice by the leader of Banshan, Partridge Sentence. He couldn't help but feel a little bit grudge about this in his heart. He felt that he was always inferior to Banshan Taoist.
reward.
At this time, after hearing what Luo Laowai said, after thinking about it for a while, I realized that it made sense.
If he relies on his group of Xiling warriors and Luo Laowai to go it alone, although it will cost a lot of manpower, if this big thing is really accomplished, it will just happen to let the group of Taoist priests at Partridge Shao know that Chen's command
What kind of methods the Xieling group of thieves are doing is not in vain. They studied hard in the mountains all those years ago. This great opportunity to become famous must not be missed.
Thinking of this, Chen Yulou made up his mind, looked around at the crowd and said: "Brothers, my Xiling faction belongs to the Red Eyebrow Rebel Army. Now we are gathering together to reunite the party and gather in the green forest. We should uphold the instructions of our ancestors, walk the road for heaven, and fight against the enemy."
Take injustice.
I have heard: The hungry people wrapped their bellies in exchange for food, and the nobles' meat bags were buried in pearls and jade. It is true that the sky has no eyes, and the people hang upside down. Now there is an ancient tomb in Pingshan, with countless gold and pearls inside. It is all made of the blood and sweat of the people. I will unload it.
The people of Ling can figure it out.
Today we will take the treasures from the tomb to accomplish a great cause and help the troubled times."
None of the top thieves in Xiling in the past were as eloquent as Chen Yulou. He just explained the tomb robbing business openly and openly, with generosity and vehemence. Hearing this, Luo Laowai and others were dumbfounded and admired them, and they all immediately offered their suggestions and plans.
Various arrangements for this tomb robbing operation.
When the thieves below heard this, they all shouted: "Dump it! Dump it!"
They set off one after another to prepare various tomb robbing matters.
Chen Yulou asked Luo Laowai to write a transfer order and asked him to send people to quickly transfer the troops.
Before they came, the troops who had been hiding in ambush near the ancient border wall of Miao territory were divided into three groups. One group of nearly a hundred people were all horse thieves from Xiangyin, belonging to the Xiling group of thieves directly commanded by Yu Lou.
The rest are the two troops under Luo Laowai. The largest one, numbering several hundred people, is the so-called engineer battalion.
The army formed by Luo Laowai did not build fortifications or mine mines at all, but was a fighting force that was exclusively used to dig graves. They were all bold and unfaithful, and wanted money rather than their lives.
They have also received relevant training and are equipped with various equipment for unloading mountains. They are also assigned many mules and horses to carry explosives, earthworks and rocks, or to transport stolen treasures.
There is another one: the pistol company, whose members are all Luo Laowai's cronies, serving as Luo Laowai's personal soldiers and part-time supervising the battle team.
During the process of robbing tombs, if anyone wants to steal treasures and weapons or deserters, they can all be punished on the spot.
The soldiers of these pistol companies are well-equipped, all made in Germany, with two pistols of twenty guns each. They have strong combat effectiveness and firepower. Luo Laowaiduo relied on his ability to control the three Hunan provinces.
Luo Laowai made a fortune by robbing tombs and selling cigarettes, so he equipped such a pistol company and paid a large sum of money to hire a German instructor for training, under his direct command.
They were transferred here because, firstly, the location of the tomb robbery was Laoxiong Ridge in the Mengdong River in western Hunan. It was located in a vacuum zone between the territories of several large and small warlords in western Hunan. A mistake might trigger an armed conflict.
Secondly, it was also to prevent those engineering troops who were resisting the Hanyang-made forces from suddenly rebelling when they saw the money, so they specially transferred the pistol company as a deterrent.
As soon as the manpower was fully deployed and ready, Chen Yulou informed everyone that he planned to start from both the tomb gate and the underground palace at the same time. In addition to explosives, he also asked the engineer excavation camp to bring a large amount of lime and Chenzhou sand to prepare for use.
Come and deal with the poisonous insect giant python hiding in the rock crevices.
At noon the next day, Luo Laowai's troops arrived, and they hurriedly started to take action without waiting for a rest.
He also vowed to Chen Yulou: "To do this, you have to take advantage of the momentum. Large troops are coming all the way. It is the time when morale is high. Once you take a rest, you will not be able to get up after sitting down."
When Chen Yulou heard this, he also felt that it made sense.
As the saying goes: once you make great progress, then it will weaken, and after three times it will be exhausted.
At this time, the morale of the team was high, and they might be able to get the bottle of treasure in one go.
So he asked Luo Laowai to say a few words to cheer him up, and everyone set off.
That old man, Mr. Luo, couldn't read a single word. I'm afraid he fell to the ground and couldn't read a single word. How could he say something to inspire the morale of the army?
But as the saying goes: Those who succeed must have their own merits.
As a well-known warlord in Sanxiang, Luo Laowai had his own special skills when it came to serving his subordinates. He knew very well what his subordinates were like, so what principles could he use to boost morale?
I saw him standing at a high place, facing Pingshan Mountain and saying proudly: "Let's go!"
As soon as these words came out, the thieves who had heard that Pingshan was rich in treasures and countless gold and silver were like adding fuel to a fire, and their morale was greatly boosted.
A large group of people, like a swarm of ants, headed towards Pingshan from Changuan.
Everyone went for a walk at the foot of Pingshan Mountain. This time, they went around the mountain for the second time.
All around this Pingshan Mountain, in addition to towering ancient trees, there are also several clear or turbid waterfalls gushing out from the cracks in the mountain. The local villagers said that there are no water veins in this mountain. It seems that it has rained heavily in the past few days.
The mud and rocks accumulated in the mountains rushed out and spilled out of the top of Qingming.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but frown secretly. The rainwater had done a lot of damage to the antiquities. He was worried that there would be too much water in the underground palace and destroy the artifacts inside. If this was the case, this trip would probably be in vain.
The group of people continued to survey around Pingshan, and occasionally saw some stone mounds and stone squares, but most of them were architectural relics from before the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and they were all demolished and damaged in the Yuan Dynasty.
The tombs of the Yuan Dynasty have never been marked by ground buildings or stone tablets, but there are some subtle signs of rammed earth sealing stones, which could not escape Chen Yulou's eyes.
Chen Yulou relied on the secret skills he had learned: to see the situation with a thousand feet and to check the shape with a hundred feet, and he soon had a calculation in his mind.
At this time, someone from Luo Laowai's men suddenly came to send a message, saying that they had dug up something incredible there.
Chen Yulou and his entourage went there. When they arrived at the place, Luo Laowai greeted the person in charge here and scolded: "Grandma, an empty coffin, what kind of thing is it? How can you make such a fuss about it?"
Chen Yulou frowned when he heard this, stopped Luo Laowai, and asked the person in charge: "What is the specific situation, why don't you tell me?"
The person in charge was scolded by Luo Laowai and was a little scared. When Chen Yulou asked about it, he hurriedly said: "Boss, we really didn't lie about the military situation. This matter is really weird.
When our brothers dug up the coffin, the earthen sealing material of the coffin was intact and no one had touched it.
But after opening the coffin, they found that only some porcelain bottles, bamboo and chopsticks were left in the coffin, and the murderous clothes worn by the dead body were left as they were, with no buttons unbuttoned, but there was not a single bit of corpse visible."
Before Chen Yulou opened his mouth, Luo Laowai said: "Nanny, they are really a bunch of people who have never seen the world. Is there anything strange about this? Maybe this is some kind of tomb."
Zhang Linda said: "It's not a tomb, it's a tomb!"
"Yes!" Luo Laowai said: "The Taoist priest and the chief general have the same head and a literary mind. This is a tomb of some sort."
Everyone heard this and thought it made sense.
When the Yuan people suppressed the cave people here, many high-ranking soldiers died in the battle. Due to the better feng shui of Pingshan, many Yuan soldiers were buried nearby.
However, fighting in battle formations makes it difficult to achieve total victory. In addition, the terrain in western Hunan is complex, with deep forests, dense grass, high mountains and deep streams.
Those Yuan people were killed, and their bodies were thrown everywhere, and the possibility of finding them was very slim. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to find a few tombs here.
But after hearing this, Chen Yulou felt that something was wrong. He saw Rong Baoxiao's face was frightened, something suddenly sounded, and he grabbed him and asked: "A few days ago, you kept saying that the Corpse King of Xiangxi was buried in Pingshan? But what is it?
reason?"
When Rong Baoxiao asked Chen Yulou about this, his expression suddenly became uglier than that of a dead person, and he returned as if a disaster was imminent: "Uncle, I have said before that it is absolutely impossible to go to the heart of this mountain, and the nearby village
Everyone knows that Pingshan is a place where corpses are removed, and no one dares to go there."
Rong Baoxiao said that this Pingshan Mountain is a place for moving corpses.
According to local burial customs, after death, a person is placed in a coffin and buried in the earth. If there is a chance, the person will have to dig out the earth again, open the coffin, and be reburied.
But regardless of the time of death, as long as it is buried near Pingshan, the body in the coffin will disappear.
The situation was the same as before. The coffin was intact and no outsiders had touched it. However, there were only some funerary objects and the murderous clothes worn by the corpse left in the coffin. It was hard to find any remains of the tomb owner.
Local villagers said that before the Yuan soldiers came, Pingshan was a forbidden place for the emperor to make elixirs.
Because the terrain here is unique, it is a natural paradise. It is not far from Chenzhou, Xiangxi, where cinnabar is produced, and is extremely convenient for alchemy.
Cinnabar is mercury extracted from it and is used as an essential raw material for elixirs. It is used to refine everything from longevity to longevity to the secret medicine of Fang Zhongshu, so the mountain is full of medicinal energy all year round.
Over time, the rocks and soil of Pingshan have acquired medicinal gas that can transform corpses and eliminate bones. Therefore, the corpses buried in the mountain only have a dense corpse gas, which moves with the flow of the earth's veins and leaves no trace, hence the name: corpse removal place.
