Chapter 99: Escape

※※
Zhang Lin smiled and said: "Don't worry, he just lost too much blood and passed out. It's nothing serious. Just give him a slap when he gets out."
"Loss of blood?" Chen Yulou was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that Luo Shuai was shot? But he didn't see any arrows on his body just now.
Seeing Chen Yulou's surprise, Zhang Lin explained: "Don't worry, it's just because he has a weak hand and uses his blood to activate the talisman. He is the cause of the trouble, so he will naturally end it, right!"
Also, this time the casting fee plus the talisman and seal fee are eight hundred silver dollars in total, of which the casting fee is 500 and the talisman and seal fee is 300. Now, boss, you already owe Pindao 1,800 silver dollars."
Chen Yulou was still thinking deeply when he saw that Zhang Lin had written it down in a notebook and handed it to him.
Chen Yulou...
Huama turned to the side and said: "Boss, we'd better go out first and discuss it later!"
"That's fine!" Chen Yulou nodded and called to the mute Kunlun Moleh. The four of them were about to exit, but suddenly they heard a "bang bang..." sound coming from Naweng City.
When several people heard this, they stopped and looked at each other. Huamaguai asked doubtfully: "Commander, what's the sound? Why do you hear this sound? That mechanism is very powerful!"
Chen Yulou looked back at Wengcheng, sweating coldly, and thought to himself that he had to move quickly, otherwise the shield formation would not be able to stop the movement of the mechanism.
But when Huamaguai heard about it, he could only see the blazing flames burning in the sky in Naweng City through the Thousand Jin Broken Dragon Gate. How could he know what the mechanism was based on the movement alone? He immediately said: "I don't know, but listen to this
The movement and force were probably as strong as a thousand catties. Fortunately, the Taoist leader left a way out, and we ran fast, otherwise we might have to turn inside."
Hearing this, Huamaguai and the others all nodded in agreement with lingering fear. While the four of them were talking, they walked out quickly. Chen Yulou said again: "But just now, the trap was not triggered yet, and the Taoist leader asked us to retreat, but what did he see?"
doorway?"
Zhang Lindao: "That place is a defensive building in ancient cities, called Wengcheng."
Huamaguai wondered to herself: "Wengcheng?"
I don’t know what’s wrong with Wengcheng, but Chen Yulou is well-informed. He immediately reacted and said: “Wengcheng, that’s how it is!”
Seeing this, Huamaguai asked: "Commander, what else can you say about this barbican city?"
Chen Yulou nodded and said: "Of course there is a saying that this urn city was a defensive measure built by the ancients when they built the city.
In ancient times, military fortresses or large cities had two walls, divided into outer walls and inner walls.
The space area connected between the outer city wall and the inner city wall is the Wengcheng.
If the enemy invades and the outer city wall cannot withstand it, the defender will abandon the outer city wall and retreat to the inner city wall. If the enemy wants to continue the attack, they need to pass through the barbican city.
The urn city was small and empty, with no shelter. When the enemy entered, large instruments could not be deployed, and the inner city wall was higher than the outer city wall.
The defenders only need to stand on the inner city wall, use all their bows and arrows, pour kerosene and pound rocks, and they can easily annihilate the invading enemy.
It's just that since explosives, firearms, and artillery were introduced to the world and mostly used in military affairs, the barbican city has gradually lost its role. It has become like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon. Therefore, many cities have been demolished. You don't know, and it makes sense.
.”
Chen Yulou sighed and said: "When I was inside, I felt something was wrong. I was about to go to the city tower to explore, but I didn't want to pay attention. Luo Shuai triggered the city defense mechanism and caused such a disaster. It was Chen who
It’s a mistake.”
Hearing this, Huamaguai consoled him: "Commander, Luo Shuai just dug a few ancient tombs and made small fuss in the countryside. He had never robbed a large tomb like Pingshan. He didn't know that there were many dangers in the tomb, so he acted recklessly, which led to
It's a big mistake. It's not your fault, so there's no need to blame yourself.
And I think that after Luo Shuai experienced this, his future actions will definitely follow your lead, which is also a good thing.
After all, this suspicious tomb is so dangerous, but the location of the rightful owner must be even more dangerous. If he was still like this at that time, it would be really a disaster."
After receiving Huamaguai's consolation, Chen Yulou felt that what he said was reasonable and said: "What you said makes some sense! I hope that Luo Shuai will obey orders in the future and never act alone like he does today."
Then he added: "Not to mention the Wengcheng, I am just making some guesses about what happened just now.
If Chen’s prediction is correct, the movement must have been caused by the bed crossbow.”
"Bed crossbow?" Huama turned around and said, "What is that thing?"
Zhang Lindao: "The bed crossbow was a sharp weapon in ancient wars. Different dynasties had different names, but because the crossbow frame was shaped like a wooden bed, it was simply called the bed crossbow.
It is divided into three strong strings in the front, middle and back, and uses two winches behind the crossbow bed to pull the strings. It is powerful and heavy, and is designed to shoot at those who are hiding behind stockade fences, shield formations and earthen walls.
.”
"That's right!" Chen Yulou said: "The Yuan people blocked the tomb passage with huge stones. Ordinary tomb robbers can't get in. Only a group of thieves like us Xiling can remove the huge stone strips in the tomb passage.
Therefore, this city is waiting for us.
It’s a good idea to invite you into the jar. Those bows, arrows and crossbows can kill a large number of thieves, and the bed crossbows can break through the shields and other defensive objects that the thieves may carry. They will really leave no one alive, and they are extremely vicious."
While Chen Yulou was talking, Miss Hong got the news that Chen Yulou and his entourage had been caught in a trap in the tomb passage. She came up against the crowd with a few good unloaders, but she saw that Chen Yulou and others were in such a miserable state.
When Fang came in, he met Luo Laowai who had fainted. Then he met Chen Yulou. He took five steps as three steps and rushed to his side and asked: "Boss, I heard from brothers that you met an agency inside, how are you doing?"
?Are you injured?"
Chen Yulou said: "Taoist Master Quan Nai had the foresight. Although a few brothers were killed, everyone was finally safe."
Then he said: "By the way, didn't I ask you to wait outside? Why did you come in?"
Miss Hong said: "I heard from my brothers that you were caught in a trap. I was worried, so I came to take a look."
Chen Yulou said: "I'm just worrying about it. If the Taoist priest is here, what can happen to me?"
Miss Hong was still about to speak, but Zhang Lin said: "You two, if you have anything to say before you go out, since the Yuan people have set up a desperate attack in Weng City, even though we escaped, they must have prepared a back-up plan.
At least after the city's agencies eliminate the thieves, they will definitely leave behind the means to block this tomb passage again. If I don't leave, I will be buried alive in this tomb passage later."
Hearing this, Chen Yulou said: "That's the truth. That Yuan man is so vicious, we can't stay in this tomb passage for a long time. We should leave as soon as possible, otherwise things may change later."
After saying that, the four of them did not dare to stay for a long time and hurriedly ran out of the tomb passage.
After leaving the tomb passage, Chen Yulou saw the Xiling bandits who had entered, each with their bodies decorated and listless. They were lying or standing around the entrance of the tomb passage without energy.
As soon as Chen Yulou came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, making him feel uncomfortable and feeling guilty in his heart.
Thinking of this narrow escape, Chen Yulou felt uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Miss Hong had no choice but to divert Chen Yulou's attention and let him take a look at Luo Laowai first.
After hearing this, Chen Yulou remembered that Luo Laowai had fainted, and hurriedly crossed the crowd to check on his condition.
Luo Laowai had woken up at this time and was sitting weakly on the ground. He seemed fine, but he seemed to have lost a little too much blood, so his dark face was a little less rosy and a little more pale.
When he saw Chen Yulou approaching, he struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou walked faster, stepped forward and pressed the other person: "Shuai Luo is inconvenient, so don't be too polite."
Luo Laowai stood up halfway, but when he saw this, he had to sit down and cursed: "Damn it, this Yuan man is so vicious. He actually buried such a mechanism in his own tomb. Those treasures would rather be burned than leave me waiting."
Half."
Chen Yulou said: "Luo Shuai, where is the Yuanren tomb? It's just a trap to kill us. It's still far from the real owner!"
When Luo Laowai heard that it was not a tomb, he cursed again: "Grandma, why are those northern barbarians so frivolous? Don't you think they are brave and foolhardy? How come they are plotting against us?"
Chen Yulou still wanted to say something, but Huama turned around and said, "You also said, if you hadn't disobeyed the boss and messed with the things in the tomb, how could you have triggered the mechanism?"
When Chen Yulou heard this, he immediately scolded Huamaguai. Seeing this, Naluo Laowai knew that he was wrong, so he pulled Chen Yulou and said: "Please calm down your anger. The kidnapper is right. If it weren't for me, Luo Cai, who is so obsessed with me, we would be the same."
I won't fall into that Yuan Ren's scheme.
His grandma, if you look at it, you and I, my brothers, have been tricked by this Yuan man all over today.
This matter can't be let go like this. Since the boss said that the real owner here is not the right one, then I will go against them.
When we enter the ancient tomb in the future, I, Luo Laowai, and my brothers will all listen to the boss.
If you don't let us touch it, there is a mountain of gold and silver ahead of you, and we won't take any of it.
But please keep your head down while you wait for me to go in. If you find that great general, I, Lao Luo, can open his coffin and whip his corpse, so that you can get rid of today's bad temper."
Chen Yulou had Luo Laowai's promise that he would not investigate what he did today. Besides, he had not yet obtained the Pingshan treasure, so naturally he could not take it easy.
Both of them are the overlords of one side. If they return empty-handed and spread the news outside, wouldn't they make people laugh out loud?
But seeing that the group of thieves were exhausted and Luo Laowai had lost too much blood and was in poor condition, he ordered them to fight until they returned home, where they would return to the treasury to make long-term plans and discuss entering Pingshan three times.
Everyone was about to leave when they heard the roar behind them. They quickly turned around and saw that the tomb passage that had been dug out with a huge amount of manpower and material resources had been blocked by sand and stones.
When Chen Yulou saw this, he secretly felt lucky that Zhang Lin had just asked them to get out quickly. Otherwise, even if they escaped from the Wengcheng trap, they would have been buried in the sea of ​​sand at this time.
Quicksand has always been an effective anti-theft method in ancient tombs. Once a large amount of quicksand fills the underground palace tomb, it will not be possible to dig a tomb wall with rammed earth. A single hole can solve the problem.
Because the sand is loose and flowing, no matter how much the tomb robbers dig out, the rest of the sand will flow over to fill it. Unless all the tens of millions of tons of sand inside are emptied, the flowing fine sand will move on its own.
Tomb robbers will never be able to drill a hole through the tomb wall.
If you and others are buried inside, even the gods outside will not be able to save them.
Seeing this, Luo Laowai even cursed the owner of the Pingshan Ancient Tomb, saying that if the owner of the tomb was not dragged out of his dick pit and chopped into pieces, Luo Shuai would change his surname from Luo to Dick.
