Chapter 14 remove the body of the ground
Chen blind man see bottle mountain in the water, can not help but secretly frowned, worried about too much water dipping Palace, rain erosion damage to the antiquities is very big, if so, the Hall of the Underworld can be long ago destroyed, I am afraid to be a basket of water, but listen to find dragons, heard that the mountain has a number of citadel-like crypts, there are canals connected, even if one or two dipped in the rain, as long as the portals overlap the closure of the catacombs, there will be a considerable part of the The tomb is intact, there is no need to worry.
A group of people in the bottle around the mountain row survey, constantly see some of the stone stone square, roughly Song and Yuan before the remains of the building, in the Yuan Dynasty were demolished and destroyed, Yuan tomb without ground architecture and stone monuments, but some of the rammed earth sealing the subtle signs of the stone, or can not escape the eyes of the Shifting Ridge theft of the Queenslander, these should be the martyrdom pits, which will not be what is valuable to the line of goods, Chen Blind man while looking at the side of the order of the girl under the red will be bottle Mountain type drawn on paper spare, there is a “thousand feet to see the potential, a hundred feet to check the shape”, in the mountains look down, due to the limited vision of the people, can only look at the shape, difficult to identify the potential, so drawn drawings, looks more detailed.
The entire odd-shaped rocky mountain although stripped off the sinister, but still occupies the reason of yin and yang, appears extraordinary momentum, Chen blind man around the mountain circle, when the red sun is falling, he did not dare to stay too long in the dense forest, was about to take people back to the temporary command post of the righteousness of the village, can walk half, suddenly in the forest to see a piece of the empty graves dug open pit, inside the adenocarpal Ji, gophers to see the people were frightened to have fled, graves have grown weeds, but is a piece of the wilderness, the forest is a place for the people, and the people are not in the forest, but the people are not in the forest, but the people are not in the forest, but the people are not in the forest. Actually a piece of wolf, see this situation, Chen blind coldly remembered something, a hand grabbed the hole barbarian’s collar, whispered and asked: “Yesterday you said the bottle mountain buried in the King of the corpses? But what is the reason?”
Cave savage was asked Chen blind man asked about this matter, the face suddenly became more ugly than the dead, as if a big problem is approaching: “Good to teach the chief to know, the belly of the mountain can not go, that is anyone who also dare not go, we hole family know that the bottle mountain is a piece of the corpse removed from the land Luo.”
Hole barbarians say that this bottle mountain is a “corpse removal land”, after the death of a person convergence to the coffin, buried in the ground, if there is a chance to dig the ground again to open the coffin, regardless of the time of death near and far, as long as buried near the bottle mountain, the body in the coffin will disappear, the coffin sealing soil is intact, no outsiders have ever touched it, but the coffin is left with some of the porcelain bottles accompanied by the bamboo chopsticks, the dead body wore a murderous dress also original. The dead body to wear the murderous clothes are also in place, buttons have not been unlocked, but hard to see a star half of the corpse.
Local people have a kind of legend, in the Yuan soldiers over before, bottle mountain is to the emperor alchemy of the forbidden land, in addition to the topography of this place, is a natural heavenly paradise, there is also an important reason is the west of xiangxi chenzhou abundance of cinnabar, from which refined mercury is the alchemy of indispensable raw materials from the longevity of life to the secret of the room in the art of medicine everything is not refining, so the mountain is full of medicinal gas throughout the year.
A long time, the bottle mountain rock and soil got to be able to melt the corpse and eliminate the bones of the drug gas, the mountain buried corpses are only a dense corpse gas, along with the veins of the earth’s air flow transfer movement, the trail is uncertain, so the name of the “move the body”, only the belly of the mountain that the Yuan Dynasty General’s ancient corpse due to the hole people in the evil art of the death of the zombie is difficult to decay, and got the tomb of Xiantan’s drug power! The shape is refined into essence.
It is said that since the ancient tomb cracked open after the gap, every few decades in the past, there are people to see the top of the helmet through the armor of the zombie infested in the mountains, are said to have seen with their own eyes, is not a false talk, the western Xiangxi zombie customs prevail, the zombie for the evil that is particularly believed, so rumors of bottles in the mountains buried in the king of the corpse, those who go into the mountain tomb robbing medicine were killed by the zombie and the shadowy soldiers, so everyone talked about the color of the change, which ate a bear’s heart and leopard gall dare to enter the belly of the mountain of the ancient tomb! Earth Palace?
Chen blind man smiled coldly at the words, he has seen a lot of knowledge, and how would be bluffed by the words of these natives, “moving the body of the name of the land is heard, but that is only the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Wu Chu legend, the world can not really move the body of the land? Yuan tomb has always been buried in a large collection, which has more than the Western region of the Fans of the square technology to prevent burglary, burial goods and not as luxurious as the Chinese nobility of the kings and grandchildren, has not been the first choice of the target of the large group of grave robbers.
But this bottle mountain buried in the Yuan army commander is the death of the front, he annihilated seventy-two holes of the barbarians, plundered things must be heavy, plus generations of the royal in the bottle mountain in the offering of rare treasures, that the Palace of the Underworld in the abundance of hidden, for fear of not worse than the emperor’s mausoleum on the number of, but the situation of this tomb is unique, less people are not allowed to move, and the location of the remote, news isolation, it is a recent generation of know rather less people, or else it should have been the rate of the crowd! Come to fight, and how to wait for today, now the opportunity has come, it seems to be the opportunity to unload the Ling group of pirates to achieve great things.
Chen blind man calculating their own group of people is foreign, not too familiar with the local scenery, no guide difficult to make things happen, can not kill the mouth, but must first let this guide at ease, otherwise he said that leaks the mouth, instigated laxity of the army, but it is not a small matter, on the hole barbarians, said: “Not Chen boasts, Xiangyin people, all know that I am the most good at catching ghosts to catch the body of the art of the shopkeeper, and also the temperament The people of Xiangyin know that I, Mr. Chen, am the best at catching ghosts and chasing away corpses, and I am also very generous, and I am willing to support good people, and I am going to lead a group of men to get rid of the evils for the people, and to get rid of the zombies in the Bottle Mountain. Said stuffed to that guide ten pieces of ocean.
Cave savage guide see this Chen big boss bold, and that Luo Da Shuai eyes on the slaughter, if there is not from the spot will be dead on the ground, the two ancestors of a red face a black face, who can not offend, in this soft and hard situation, want to escape and can not escape, in order to protect their own lives, have to listen to what they say, even if it is on the mountain of knives under the frying pan also have to follow, and then do not dare to say the word, and then through the mountain bandits this Dug out of the burial pit, leading the group of thieves back to the Old Bear Ridge Village.
Repeatedly several times “stepped on the plate, touched the bureau”, Chen blind man and others have been in mind, only waiting for the mute Kunlun Mole with the arrival of the engineering battalion, you can begin to act, Luo Lao crooked waiting for a good deal of anxiety, and constantly asked Chen blind man in the palace of the treasures can be loaded with a bucketful of goods? That the Yuan Dynasty tomb buried in the Yuan soldiers and generals, are not all Mongolian fancier?
Chen blind man said these days did not white visit, learned a lot of reasons, although the tomb since the Qing Dynasty cracked, but one of the terrain is treacherous, the second inside the organs of the many poisonous insects, small groups of grave robbers are difficult to get, the palace has nine out of nine may be the treasures piled up mountains of worry, just worried about the serious erosion of the wind and rain.
In addition, the Yuan Dynasty soldiers and generals are not all Mongolian Tartars, when the Yuan Army swept away the North Western Region, the division of the South and the Gengzi year into Beijing’s Eight-Nation Allied Forces are almost the same, are the allied forces of the western region of the states, which are not lacking in the surrender of the Han Chinese troops, so the burial customs may not be the same as the entirety of their Bottle Mountain this piece of heavenly blessed land for the tomb, but also a presumptuous attempt to hold down the South Dynasty’s dragon gas, the Bottle Mountain is the Royal Palace of the forbidden land since ancient times, there have been many preventing the theft of medicines. Pill theft organs ambush, sealed into the tomb room after the big hide, most of these mechanisms are preserved, later into the mountain tomb robbers, for this section is not to be prevented.
Talking about the sky has been dusk, twilight when the mute with three groups of people mixed team rushed, Chen blind men under the more than a hundred thieves, although it is temporarily cobbled together, but most of them are familiar with the ringing of horses, although miscellaneous not chaotic, but the troops under the Luo Lao crooked, basically a group of rabble, these were selected into the engineers dug the sub-battalion of the pawns, either smoking cigarettes, is to whore halls, or else it is to play a sieve, almost all of them are to money! Almost all of them are guys who want money and don’t want to die, and they are the only ones who dare to rob tombs and dig mounds without any taboo.
Luo Lao crooked is a few nearby warlords of the thorn in the flesh, he left his lair deep into the hinterland of western Hunan grave robbers, did not dare to publicize it, completely secret action, he was mainly worried about the other warlords to come to sneak attack, in addition to the grave robbing thing after all, the reputation is not good, once the rumor spreads out of their own has become a target, so also do not dare to bring a large force, each time to rob the grave is a battalion of engineers with a pistol company, and the Old Bear Ridge grave robbers in western Hunan. Xiangxi Old Bear Ridge tomb raiding, seek to quickly and stealthily, finish the matter hurriedly withdrawn, night long dream more, the whole process is best not more than three or five days, it is not like in their own territory, you can play in the name of the exercise to the mountain closed, willing to how to toss on how to toss.
Chen blind man saw the men and horses ready, this is a lot of movement on the big, can not be delayed, must act as soon as possible, and then ordered all the people first red damask dipped in cinnabar tied the left arm, so that the three teams of horses and men to identify each other, and then camped around the village, rest to the night time to pull out, will be nearly 1,000 people in the procession, in the hole barbarians under the leadership of the guide, pulling a mule pulling a horse, take a lot of provisions, borrowing the moonlight, and vastly to the Bottle Mountain, in order to Blocking the news, wherever encountered along the way, do not ask the barbarians and hans, all caught, as a footman with the army, the next day just dawn, the engineers dug the son of the battalion to the Bottle Mountain pass at the ground door.
Groups of thieves and not in the mountain pass out of the excavation of the tomb door, or want to want to save a little trouble, directly from the top of the cliffs cut into the ancient tomb dungeon, the mountain road twisting and turning steeply, the horses to the halfway up the mountainside has been on the not go, had to be needed by the footman picking up the supplies, the long team along the old verdant stone winding up the mountain, from the head back to look at it, as if a yellow dragon climbed up the bottle upward creeping.
That morning bottle mountain cloud is very thick, look up to see high, just like in the clouds, wait until the high, the clouds and then under the feet, digging son of the camp engineers also know that this is on the mountain tomb raiding, if the war is inevitably everyone flinch, can do the thing of the bucket, such as to go to the soil heap planing dog head gold, what a beautiful job? The last few months no pay, this time to see finally have an ancient tomb to dig, each fist rubbing palms, shaking spirit, scrambling to follow the officer up the mountain, although the mountain road is treacherous, but also no complaints.
In fact, the engineer battalion of these hundreds of people, in the bucket of things, mainly as the role of drudgery, really play a role in the Chen blind men, this hundred and ten thieves, each of them backed a large bamboo basket, which is loaded with unloading the Ling group of thieves of the unique secret “centipede hanging ladder”, this is a combination of bamboo ladder according to the section of things, unloading the Ling group of thieves inverted, wherever up the mountain and down the valley, the number of people who have to go, the number of people who have to go, the number of people who have to go. Whenever you go up a mountain or down a mountain stream, when you encounter difficulties and obstacles, you can’t get away from this equipment.
“Centipede hanging mountain ladder” split, is a section of small arm thickness of the bamboo tube, the material are so that the most resilient thatched bamboo, packaged in the frying pan for dozens of times, curved into the shape of a full bow will not break, each section of the bamboo tube at both ends, there are front and back of both sides of the set of buttons, the cylinder body and there are two bamboo body thick and thin round holes, the use of which is connected longitudinally as if a long bamboo pole, both sides of a long bamboo pole. Long bamboo poles, both sides and then inserted horizontally for people to step on the bamboo tube, the top is equipped with a hanging mountain hundreds of claws, from a distance, like a bamboo centipede.
Whenever a cliff can not be climbed, a person takes turns to use two “centipede hanging ladder”, hooked in the cracks of the pines and rocks, you can quickly climb up the cliffs of the absolute danger, and the name of the “Hanging Mountain”, is not only used to climb the mountain, “mountain” and “bucket”, “mountain” and “bucket”, “mountain” and “bucket”. Both “mountain” and “bucket” are synonymous with ancient tombs, and “mountain” means mausoleum. Due to the narrowness of the robber’s holes or the robber’s holes damaged by explosives, it is difficult for the robbers to enter with large-scale equipments, but the “Centipede Hanging Mountain Ladder” which can be dismantled and assembled can be broken into The “Centipede Hanging Ladder” can be disassembled and assembled into countless small sections, which can be carried by all people on their bodies, so that they can go in and out freely in such occasions with narrow entrances without being limited by the terrain. Some ancient tombs are hanging coffins with iron ropes, and in order to prevent seepage of water in the underground palace, the coffins are all suspended by the iron rings in the tombs, and the bamboo ladder as an auxiliary, which saves a lot of strength during the process of pouring. “The prototype, from the Han Dynasty Red Eyebrows Army siege tools used in the evolution of the dozens of generations of repeated modifications and refinements, began to become today’s style.
Chen blind rate of people to the top of the mountain, look to the rift valley still have colorful fog rising, just near noon has been since a lot weaker, the mountain of poisonous pythons and poisonous insects, are all born of yin, at this time must be hibernating, can act, will hand a move, the order of the footman will be a bag of lime dumped into the deep stream, the lime bag fell into the bottom of the valley rupture, which is loaded with lime splash and boil, regardless of what vicious poisonous creatures can not afford to eat this bout of violent choking, even if the Even if they don’t die, they will surely run away.
But the engineer battalion in a hurry, only prepared more than two hundred bags of lime, thrown down and was blown away by the mountain wind, the remaining want to cover the bottom of the valley, is really a drop in the bucket, seems far from enough.
The people at the top of the mountain to see the lime is not enough, are anxious to stomp their feet, but also with their success, this array of lime spread down, or played a great effect, the depths of the array of poisonous mirage gradually disappeared, leaving only empty white clouds, Chen blind man intends to send three or two skilled go down to explore, and then asked: “Which one is willing to go?”
Groups of thieves immediately out of the two strong men, one is a race of live monkeys, one is the ground jump, are climbing mountains and drilling forests of good hands, the two are interested in finding an opportunity to show their skills in front of the pirate leader, at the moment they said that they are willing to risk their lives to go down to find out, Chen blind man praised the sound of the courage, he ordered two of them to go down the cliffs.
The two bowed to receive orders, the mouth contains a piece of five poisonous medicine cake, carrying a pigeon cage to test poison, the waist sat on the box gun and short sword, black robe masked mouth and nose, dragging two “centipede hanging mountain ladder”, only to see them with the inverted bamboo ladder, through the clouds and fog, disappeared in a matter of moments, the rest of the people are on the top of the mountain cliff edge downward looking for them to pinch the sweat, this go is dead or alive, but the two of them are not in a hurry. Sweat, this go is dead or alive that depends on the fate of these two people.
