Caihua's thick eyebrows sank, and she raised her sword, only to see the black sword energy flashing, and the poor beast's soul flew away and turned into dust in the light of the sword.
Yuxu! You are really seeking your own death, Caihua took a breath and said coldly.
Baozi frowned and said, these beast soldiers are nothing. What I'm afraid of is that we have offended those monsters in Zhongzhou and will get into trouble.
What are you afraid of? Aren't they just a few little demons? I don't believe that all of them have Buddha's golden body, said Caihua.
They are not demons, but demons. These are two concepts. Anyway, I can't explain it to you at the moment. Let's try to avoid provoking demons as much as possible in the future. They are the best at holding grudges. Once they get entangled and will not stop, it will be a headache, Baozi said.
Okay, this trip to Qingtian must be full of dangers, everyone must always be vigilant, I nodded in agreement.
I don't want to offend a bunch of powerful enemies before I find Liu Bowen's grave.
After returning to the hotel, we each had a rest. Caihua and I were not in the mood to ask any more questions about what treasures the brothers had found. After all, we knew nothing about tomb robbing, so asking too many questions would make us look noisy.
The next day, the four of us took a bus to Wuyang in Nantian, where Liu Bowen was buried in Xiashan.
Oh my God, Liu Bowen is really amazing. The whole mountain is covered with spiritual energy. This man has such magical powers. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill him. If I were to be the emperor in his place, leaving such a person by his side must be uneasy in the dormitory. Caihua raised his head far away
Looking at Xia Mountain, I couldn't help but marvel.
It was already afternoon when we arrived, and half of the mountains covered with red clouds in the sky were lit up. The mountains were as green as ink, and they were as tall and undulating as dragon spines.
Surrounded on all sides, it forms a small pan valley in the middle. A jade belt winds through it. Shuikou Pass is blocked and locked to hide the wind and gather energy. It is a geomantic treasure place. Even if you are at the foot of the mountain, you can already feel the overwhelming aura coming from the sky.
.
It's not surprising that this dragon vein was destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang a long time ago. If it were in the Hongwu Year, it should have been a hundred times richer in spiritual energy. You see, although the water quality of the river is clear, it is shallow and lifeless. It has long since lost its dragon energy, Baozi.
Pointing to the river in the distance, he explained in detail.
I can’t tell that you know so much about Feng Shui, Caihua said with a smile.
That was from back then. Those who work in our industry must know a little bit about Feng Shui and government agencies. Otherwise, we will risk our lives. There are a lot of things underground, Dumpling added.
Let’s go to the cemetery first, I took a deep breath and said drunkenly.
Baozi pointed to a village not far away and said: "Ahead is Xiling Village. Remember not to talk too much after entering the village. Just pretend to be tourists. Many people in this village are descendants of Liu Bowen. If
Knowing that we are here to steal the tombs of their ancestors, we will be in trouble if we want to succeed.
Yes, now Liu Bowen's tomb has become a tourist attraction and a key cultural relic under China's protection. Maybe the rest of us will have to stay in trouble.
Well, Brother Baozi is right. Cauliflower, you have to wrap up your knife tightly. Let's go into the village.
Entering the village, the people in the village are quite welcoming to tourists. After all, their ancestors only lived in Long Loess, which not only protected their spiritual energy, but also brought them income to sustain their livelihood.
I found a relatively clean hotel in the village to eat and rest. I wanted to go into the tomb to look for the Hidden Dragon Ruler. My heart was filled with excitement and I wanted to go into the tomb immediately.
But it wasn't time yet, and it wasn't until after two o'clock in the morning that we changed into mouse suits and went to Xia Mountain.
The mouse suit is gray and black in color, similar to the night suit. The most important thing is that it has many bags and can hold a lot of things, so it is very popular among tomb robbers.
When we arrived at the mountain, we were surrounded by an iron fence, with a security room and a ticket booth inside, but by this point everyone had already gone to bed.
Just as Caihua was about to walk towards the door, she was stopped by Baozi, who pointed at the probe above and said, "Wait a minute, if you go in with a big fanfare, the security will not search the whole place when you turn back, how can you rob the tomb?"
Caihua was right. It would not be a good thing to go through the main entrance, either by climbing over the wall or by forcing in. Brother Baozi had been here before and was quite familiar with the terrain in this area. After going around the back of the wall, the four of them climbed over the wall.
Pass.
Jumping into the courtyard, the two brothers led them straight to the cemetery. In less than ten minutes, Baozi pointed to a mausoleum built against the mountain on the steps not far away and said, "We're here!"
Caihua and I hurriedly followed, climbed the steps, and took a closer look. Compared to other princes and generals in the past dynasties, the cemetery is not very big, less than 100 square meters. There is a monument, except for the big trees on both sides.
, there was nothing all around.
Damn it, Liu Bowen is also a national master after all. Why is he so shabby? Did he look in the wrong place? Caihua glanced at it and frowned.
That's right, this is it. In the early years, this was just a small mound covered with grass. Later, the local Chinese government designated it as a cultural relic protection object, so it was slightly modified. Baozi said.
I think this is not as grand as Old Man Goriot's tomb, which has at least two stone lions and a few stone servants, I said.
This is understandable. Although Liu Bowen was an important minister, he was also a virtuous person. Otherwise, how could he be regarded as the Lord of Hell? Before his death, he once said that loess is a bed, and grass is a companion.
His family naturally did not dare to object and buried him in such a thin way. It was after several renovations. According to legend, this was just a mound in the early days, Baozi explained.
Baozi took out his compass and measured it. He walked to a huge old tree about nine feet away from the cemetery, and started tinkering with the bark of the tree with an iron drill.
What are you doing?
Over the past hundreds of years, I don’t know how many people have robbed this tomb. Someone must have set up an entrance here. As soon as I heard a squeak, the bark of the tree was pried open, and a pungent musty smell came from the tree hole.
Rushed out.
"Hehe, I couldn't tell that you really have two skills." I patted Baozi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Caihua was impatient. Just as she was about to get in, she was stopped by a dumpling on the side. "Why are you so anxious? This tree hole has not been used for who knows how long. You need to let out some air first."
As they spoke, the two brothers patted their chests, and their stomachs suddenly became bigger. They blew into it with great force, then threw a stone in and carefully put their ears against the bark of the tree to listen.
stand up.
After a while, Baozi took out a white candle from his pocket, broke off a section, tied it with a thread to light it, and slowly reached inside. Although the candlelight flickered, it did not go out. Then he said: "Okay, entrance.
It should be no problem, you can go in."
Just blow a few breaths and it will be done, I wondered.
Baozi explained: "It's a powerful mechanism that can even feel people's body temperature. I blew on it just to see if there was anyone who had set up a mechanism. It goes without saying that I would throw stones to find the way. If I pull it, it won't be extinguished. Inside
At least there is oxygen."
As he spoke, the fat body lost its energy and slowly shrank, and the two brothers got in one after another.
The tree hole is quite big, and Caihua and I didn't feel crowded when we entered it. It doesn't seem like every tomb robber would shrink his bones.
It was pitch dark inside the tree hole, and the musty smell was pungent. I used a flashlight and slowly followed the hole inside, and after a while, I reached the ground.
Inside is a stone room of about ten square meters, which is empty except for a copper coffin.
Baozi sighed and said, "It's exactly what I thought!"
What's wrong! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and open the coffin, Caihua urged.
It’s so easy to find it, it’s too easy, I frowned and thought to myself.
There is no need to open the coffin, it must be empty inside. This is just a fake coffin. If Liu Bowen was really buried here, he would be too naive, Baozi said dejectedly.
I used a flashlight to shine inside the stone chamber. There were many scratches on it, and I didn’t know which batch we were in.
It was the first time that Caihua participated in a tomb robbery, and she was a little disbelieving: "Why don't you open it and take a look? It's here anyway."
As he said that, he used brute force to open the copper coffin. As expected, it was empty. He tried to touch the coffin a few times with his hands and felt the bumps, so he hurriedly put his head in to take a look.
There are words in it, etc. It seems to be a poem. I read it, and Caihua exclaimed in surprise.
I am a native of the mountains, so I went to the mountains to help the saint cross the Dragon Bridge, leaving me alone for half a day... What do you mean, this! Caihua asked puzzledly.
If this was really a smoke bomb set by Liu Bowen, I think he might have known that Zhu Yuanzhang would attack him and even come to dig his grave. This poem was actually written for Zhu Yuanzhang, I thought.
It is very possible that Liu Bowen, with his divine calculations, had long thought that such a day would come to him, but then, where is his true body?
Wait, take a look again. There is a seal stamped on the coffin. I pointed to a large pale red seal and asked.
Zhu! Baozi tried to touch the remaining marks with his hands, leaned forward and smelled it vigorously: "It's Zhaoyou cinnabar, this seal belongs to the royal family."
"Fuck, this is too cruel. People are already dead. Since it's a fake coffin, why would you put a seal on it? Isn't this wrong?" Caihua said.
"I guess that the person who dug the grave was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. He wanted to use his dragon energy to seal Liu Ji's pure Yang energy. I guess this person was very angry that it was an empty tomb. In anger, he simply dug it
I also poked one on the coffin to vent my anger." I said.
The question is why Zhu Yuanzhang hates Liu Ji so much that he will die when he dies. Is he really poking at the corpse or coffin of the dead person?
Zhu Yuanzhang was very suspicious. Liu Ji was the leader of Xuanmen and had great magical powers. He was probably afraid that he would rebel or destroy the fate of the Zhu family dynasty, so he had to kill them all. Baozi touched his chin and thought.
Let's not study the dead. What we want to think about now is how to find Liu Bowen's tomb. Zhu Yuanzhang is so cruel and ruthless. Since Liu Ji knows that there is a danger of being dug up and sealed, he will definitely build a black tomb for himself, I said solemnly.
Well, there's no other way. We can only look for it bit by bit. I'm thinking that this Xiashan Mountain is probably out of business. Although this mountain has spiritual energy, its ridges are shallow. It's really difficult to build a black tomb, Baozi said.
