Chen Yulou smiled when he heard this. He was well-informed, so how could he be intimidated by the words of these natives? He had heard the name of the 'Corpse Removal Place', but it was just a legend from the Wu-Chu area during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Is there really a place for corpse removal in this world?
Moreover, the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty have always been buried deep, and there are many techniques used by the Western Regions to prevent theft. The funerary objects are not as luxurious as those of the nobles of the Central Plains, so they have not always been the first choice for thieves like Xiling.
In other words, the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army buried in the Pingshan Mountain was in front of the Death Formation. When he wiped out the barbarians in the seventy-two caves, the loot must be heavy. In addition to the rare treasures enshrined by the royal families in the Pingshan Mountain, then
The richness hidden in the Underworld Palace and the Underworld Palace is probably not much inferior to that of the Emperor's Mausoleum, which is why they came here.
However, when Chen Yulou saw everyone in panic and Zhang Lin watching with cold eyes, Chen Yulou was so excited that he asked Zhang Lin with a smile: "Has Taoist Xiaoyao ever heard of this place where corpses are removed?"
Zhang Lin heard this and said: "I have only seen corpses pretending to be corpses, but I have never heard of corpse removal." Then he asked: "Why, have you ever heard of a boss?"
Chen Yulou said: "I have seen some records in ancient books, which were circulated in the Wuchu area during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, but Chen has never believed these.
After all, if we believed what Xiling warriors like us did, we would have ended our inheritance long ago."
Zhang Lin heard this and said: "General Manager, if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts sooner or later."
Apart from anything else, Zhang Lin knew that there were indeed centipedes and rice dumplings in the Pingshan Mountain, and there seemed to be an old ape.
Chen Yulou and his party met, but they were in bad luck. Hua Ling and the old foreigner were killed by the mountain move, and Xie Ling and Luo Laowai's men suffered countless losses. Even Partridge Whistle and Red Girl almost fell into the hands of the Yuan Dynasty general.
.
When Chen Yulou heard this, he didn't believe it: "Really? But those who didn't mention the Taoist priest said that you have seen fake corpses, even if they are not completely dead! Chen doesn't believe it."
As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd and said, "I'm afraid no one believes it either."
Zhang Lin shook his head when he heard this. The strange things were really hard to believe.
But it doesn’t matter whether Chen Yulou believes it or not.
As Zhang Lin said, if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts, and then you have no choice but to disbelieve.
Zhang Lin didn't speak or explain.
Chen Yulou didn't want to bring trouble to himself. He thought in his heart that his group was a foreigner and not very familiar with the local customs. It would be difficult to do anything without a guide, so he couldn't kill people and silence them.
Therefore, Rong Baoxiaoye must be reassured first, otherwise he will continue to talk nonsense and instigate the morale of the army, which is not a trivial matter.
So Chen Yulou said to him: "This is not Chen's boast. People in Xiangyin all know that I, Mr. Chen, am the best at catching ghosts and driving away corpses. I also have a generous nature and am dedicated to supporting good people. Now I plan to lead a group of people."
All the men are doing harm to the people and getting rid of the zombies in Pingshan. If you are willing to help, it will be of great benefit to you." After saying that, he handed him ten pieces of ocean and pointed to Zhang Lin aside: "And you saw it that night too.
Taoist Priest Xiaoyao’s magical skills and the sword in his hand are specially designed to kill zombies and ghosts. This time we will help you and other cave residents get rid of the corpse king who caused trouble, and you can go to the mountain to collect medicine with peace of mind in the future."
Then he said to Zhang Lin: "I'm right, Taoist Priest Xiaoyao!"
Luo Laowai approached Zhang Lin and whispered: "Taoist Master, Mr. Chen asked you to look after the commander-in-chief and help him achieve his goals. Now the morale of the army is a little unstable, so you just nod your head and let everyone take the property with peace of mind. You are indispensable."
That portion."
After Zhang Lin heard this, he looked around and saw that the soldiers around him were more or less afraid.
The ancients have always been in awe of ghosts and gods, but now they are digging graves, which is detrimental to their morality, and they feel somewhat uneasy.
Now that I heard about the Corpse Relocation and the Corpse King, and the cemetery here is weird, the military morale is indeed not as high as it was at the beginning.
After listening to Luo Laowai's words, Zhang Lin secretly thought that his mission was to save as many people as possible, so why not take some preventive measures?
So Zhang Lin nodded, took a step forward, held his palm upwards, and a ball of flame swayed in it. He said to everyone: "Everyone, I am a poor man, but I have learned a few tricks to kill demons and eliminate demons."
Dharma, so you don’t need to be alarmed. There is a poor Taoist, and those monsters and demons will come to you. The poor Taoist will accept as many as they come. You are not afraid of evil spirits, but you are afraid that there are not enough of them.”
After saying that, he took out a set of talisman seals and handed them to Miss Hong and Luo Laowai separately. He said to everyone: "I have prepared some talisman papers here for you to carry with you. If something evil or evil comes close to you within ten meters,
, it will generate heat to alert you, you just need to retreat quickly and leave the rest to Pindao."
Seeing this, Chen Yulou quickly signaled Miss Hong and Luo Laowai to send it down, and said to everyone: "Have you all heard what the Taoist said? Now that the Taoist is here to take charge, everyone can rest assured. We will work together.
Let’s get the goods together!”
When the thieves saw Zhang Lin's skill and now had his talisman and seal to protect themselves, they all shouted: "Throw it away! Throw it away!"
Chen Yulou was very satisfied with the morale of the group of thieves and said to Zhang Lin: "Thank you so much, Taoist Priest."
Zhang Lin smiled when he heard this and said: "Be polite, please give me one silver dollar for each talisman."
When Chen Yulou heard this, his face darkened. Luo Laowai scratched his head when he heard the words and said: "Hey, I said you are a Taoist priest, why don't you go and rob it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lin said: "The profit is small, but I still have to eat. Besides, I can make money quickly by robbing anyone."
Luo Laowai was still about to speak, but Chen Yulou stopped him, shook his head, and said to Zhang Lin: "The Taoist Master also knows that we are here to excavate the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty. We don't have so many silver coins with us. How about we go back to Xiangyin and settle the accounts?"
"
"Of course you can!" Zhang Lin took out a notebook from nowhere and wrote it down, and said to Chen Yulou: "This time, the total is three hundred silver dollars, but there are thousands of brothers in the collection hall. Mr. Chen is the leader. If you don't want more, just one person.
One piece is the most secure."
When Chen Yulou heard this, his expression changed slightly and he said, "No, I'd like to thank the Taoist Master for your kindness, but these talismans are enough."
He said and motioned for a few people to leave quickly.
Seeing Zhang Lin selling talismans like a profiteer, completely eating people without spitting out their bones, everyone quickly stayed away.
Miss Hong walked at the end and said with some curiosity: "The Taoist Master was silent all the way. Now when he sells talismans, he has a different person, which is really interesting."
Zhang Lindao: "My mother taught me since I was a child that you can't get along with anyone but also with money. How about two red girls? In addition to the peace talisman, I also have fire talisman, water talisman and so on. If you can afford the price, I will
There’s also a thunder talisman here.”
As he said that, he took out some, as if you were choosing at will.
Hearing this, Miss Hong picked up one and asked curiously: "How to sell this one?"
Zhang Lin smiled when he saw this and said: "Miss Hong has good eyesight. This one in your hand is a rain prayer talisman. If you use it, it can make it rain in a radius of hundreds of miles, which is very practical to help the people with farming."
There are so many talismans and seals here, but Miss Hong fell in love with it at first glance, which means it is destined for you. Even if it is destined, why doesn't Miss Hong buy it?"
"Real or fake?" Miss Hong asked suspiciously, "How much does one cost?"
As soon as Zhang Lin heard that he wanted to buy it, he immediately smiled and said with a smile: "Chenghui 100 silver dollars!"
When Miss Hong heard Zhang Lin's quotation, she was so frightened that she quickly put down her talisman and said, "Excuse me! Farewell!"
Seeing Miss Hong leaving, Zhang Lin called out urgently: "Hey! Miss Hong, don't think about it anymore. It really doesn't work. I have fire talismans and water talismans here. They only cost ten silver dollars, and they are equally useful."
When the red girl heard this, she walked faster and disappeared after a while.
Seeing that the sales were fruitless, Zhang Lin had no choice but to put away the talisman and follow quickly.
※※
However, Rong Baoxiaoye led a group of people back to Laoxiong Ling Yizhuang. In the past two days, Luo Laowai and Chen Yulou's subordinates repeatedly stepped on the plate and tried to figure out the situation.
Chen Yulou already knew this in his heart and told everyone: The Yuan people who came to crusade against the riots of the cave people were similar to the Eight-Nation Allied Forces that invaded Beijing. They were both coalition forces from the Western Regions, and there were also Han troops who surrendered and defected, so the burial customs may not necessarily be the same.
Exactly the same.
They built the blessed land of Pingshan into a tomb in an attempt to suppress the dragon spirit of the Southern Dynasties.
This Pingshan Mountain has been a royal forbidden area since ancient times, and there were many mechanisms to prevent drug theft. After it was sealed into a tomb, most of these mechanisms were preserved.
Therefore, he did not recommend digging the tomb gate at the mountain pass. He believed that it would be more convenient for everyone to directly enter the ancient tomb palace from the cliff mouth on the top of Pingshan Mountain.
When the Yuan people sealed the tomb, how could they have expected that the Pingshan Mountain would be shaken open by an earthquake today? From where they went down, they went directly into the belly of the underground palace, avoiding the peripheral Yuan people's agencies, not to mention saving time and effort, and less than the peripheral agencies.
I don’t know how many unnecessary casualties can be reduced.
When everyone heard this, they all praised Mr. Chen for his foresight.
Seeing that there was no objection, everyone led by Chen Yulou came down to the top of Pingshan Mountain to prepare for action.
The bandits set out in the morning and arrived at the gap at noon.
As soon as they arrived at the place, following Chen Yulou's order, the hundreds of Xiling thieves put down the large bamboo baskets they were carrying and took out the unique secret weapon used by Xiling warriors to rob the tomb: the centipede hanging mountain ladder.
The Centipede Hanging Mountain Ladder is a kind of bamboo ladder that is assembled into sections. When the bandits are fighting against each other, they cannot do without this equipment when going up mountains and down streams and encountering difficulties and obstacles.
Taken apart, it is a bamboo tube as thick as a forearm.
The most ductile bamboo is used as its material. It has been wrapped dozens of times in an oil pan and bent into a full bow shape without breaking. Each bamboo tube has both front and back buckles at both ends, and the tube body has
Two round holes as thick as the bamboo body.
When in use, one of the poles is connected longitudinally, like a long bamboo pole, and bamboo tubes are inserted horizontally on both sides for people to step on. The top is equipped with a hanging mountain claw. From a distance, it looks like a bamboo-jointed centipede.
When there is a dangerous cliff that cannot be climbed, one person can take turns using two "centipede hanging ladders" hooked in the gaps between the loose rocks to quickly climb up the dangerous cliff.
Because it looks like a centipede, it is hung on the mountain when used to climb, hence the name: Centipede Hanging Mountain Ladder.
But it’s not just for climbing mountains.
Both "shan" and "dou" are synonymous with ancient tombs.
Because the robber caves or those destroyed by explosives are narrow, it is difficult for tomb robbers to enter with large equipment. Centipede hanging ladders can be disassembled and assembled.
It can be broken into countless small sections and carried by many people. In such a situation with a narrow entrance, it can be entered and exited freely without being restricted by the terrain.
