Chapter 12 The Corpse(1/2)
The guide Dong Manzi led everyone to the foot of Pingshan.
This time, Santantian Pingshan did not go up the mountain directly.
Chen Yulou arranged a large army and asked the barbarian to lead him and the backbone to walk around the mountain and observe the mountainous situation of Pingshan in all directions.
After walking around, I saw that in addition to the towering ancient trees, this Pingshan also had several clear or turbid waterfalls leaking out from the cracks of the mountain and entering the pool under the rock.
The barbarian saw that Chen Yulou had a strange expression and hurriedly explained:
"Good teachings, all the good men know that this Pingshan has not had any water veins since ancient times. This waterfall has been heavy in recent years. The water accumulated in the belly of the mountain rushed out and poured down in mud and stones. A small pool was formed at the corner between the Pingshan and the earth."
Chen Yulou frowned when he heard this, worried that the dampness in the underground palace would erode the Minguu in the tomb.
If this is true, this action will probably be in vain.
Everyone was thinking.
Even Luo Laowai, the big earth-haired man, thought of this festival and looked very bad.
He asked Chen Yulou:
"Mr. Chen asked, what would it be if this water flowed out of the underground palace?"
"Ship Luo is at ease. When Chen heard about the dragon in the ground, he heard that the palaces in the tomb were connected by corridors. Even if one or two places were soaked in rain, only if the portals in the tomb passage overlapped and closed, a considerable number of the tomb chambers must be intact. Don't worry!"
Chen Yulou knew that the arrow was on the string at this time and had to be fired. Even if all the treasures in the tomb were destroyed, he had to dig a bottle mountain to see what was going on. Therefore, although he was worried, he still looked calm on the surface.
When everyone saw that they always spoke confidently, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The group continued to survey and survey around Pingshan, and could see some stone beams and stone yards that were demolished before the Song and Yuan dynasties.
The Yuan tomb has been the most difficult to steal since ancient times, because it did not follow the tomb system, and it was highly regarded as burying the treasures deep, not sealing or treeing, and there were no ground buildings or stone steles. However, some subtle signs of rammed earth sealing stones still could not escape the eyes of the thieves in the robbers of the ridge.
Chen Yulou walked and looked while asking Miss Hong to paint the terrain of the Boil Mountain on paper and mark it.
As the saying goes, look at the momentum of a thousand feet, and look at the shape of a hundred feet.
When people watch from the bottom of the mountain, because their vision is limited, they can only observe the shape and make it difficult to distinguish the momentum, so they are drawn into drawings and look more detailed.
After all, everyone tried their best to walk from early morning to noon, and finally finished the week and returned to the south hillside where the large army was stationed.
On the way back, Li Changqing found an opportunity to tell Chen Yulou:
"Brother Chen, although I don't understand the matter of fighting, I have also studied Taoist scriptures for many years. Although this Pingshan is cut off from danger, it still occupies the natural principles of yin and yang. When Brother Chen acts in the future, he still needs to grasp the measure and not force it, otherwise it will harm the harmony of the sky and may cause disasters to come."
The purpose of his words was to remind the other party to be more cautious when fighting back.
For people like Chen Yulou, bluntly speaking, complaining will definitely make the other party unhappy, so they can only tell each other politely.
Chen Yulou was stunned after hearing this. He was thinking about the fight, but he didn't hear the profound meaning of Li Changqing's words for a while. He thought it was the other party's polite words, so he immediately clasped his fists and said:
"Brother Li's good words, Chen remembers it."
Seeing that he answered perfunctorily, Li Changqing knew that the other party didn't care at all.
It seems that he has to suffer a big loss before he can understand the pros and cons.
Immediately bowed my head and stopped talking.
......
Chen Yulou arrived at the camp and handed over the Pingshan Mountain map drawn by Miss Hong to Huamaguai, and asked him and Luo Laowai's adjutant to lead a large group of troops to dig out the grave gate according to the several locations marked in the picture.
Huamaguai happily accepted the order.
Chen Yulou himself did not dig the soil with them, but called Li Changqing, Luo Laowai, Hong Girl, Mute Kunlun Mole and guide Dong Manzi to explore the pool at the bottom of the mountain.
After lunch at the camp, everyone rushed to Beishan without stopping.
The pool is located between the angle formed by the Pingshan Mountain and the ground, with vines hanging upside down on it and gurgling water.
This has not seen the sun for thousands of years, and the sun is covered by the clouds and mists of the mountains. Walking inside is like walking in the darkness.
The dark crack at the bottom of the mountain is like a huge mouth in the abyss, which is really terrifying.
Everyone walked on the wet mudstone and their breathing became heavy.
After walking hundreds of steps, I saw the pool formed by rain in the mountains.
It is better to say that it is a pool of water, it is a big pit that has been soaked in the sun all year round due to the yin water.
Mute Kunlunmole used a bamboo pole to sink into the water, without any bottoming out, which shows how deep the accumulated water was.
The water is green in color, full of duckweed, ripples caused by dripping water, and many long vines hang in the water.
Li Changqing reached into the pool and felt that the water in the pool was cold and cold, like solid ice.
Chen Yulou looked at the pool that had been hidden at the end, and knew that it was impossible to use wooden rafts and bamboo rafts to rush past with his own skills.
"We only brought two centipedes hanging on the mountain ladder. Even if we put them together, we couldn't carry so many people."
Miss Hong saw Chen Yulou's worries and reminded her.
"It was because I was not thinking carefully and I was hasty..."
Chen Yulou browed deeply and sighed in a daze.
Just as I was about to lead the crowd to leave, I suddenly heard a noise behind me.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he turned around, he saw a thief in the Xieling Mountains staggeringly running over from the entrance.
Seeing that he looked anxious, Chen Yulou asked hurriedly:
"What happened?"
"You are always on the verge of trouble!"
The crowd was sweating, knelt down on one knee, and said with a bitter face:
"We dug out countless watermelons halfway up the mountain. Those soldiers said that the melons were filled with lonely ghosts in the mountains. If we disturb their rest, they would come out from it and seek their lives!"
"When everyone heard this, they were frightened and made a mess of porridge at that time. It was useless to kill dozens of people. Brother Guaizi asked me to ask the boss and Luo Shuai to go back to take charge of the overall situation!"
"Please set off immediately with Luo Shuai, otherwise there will be a big mess!"
"What?!"
When Luo Laowai heard this, he was furious.
He took it out and snatched it, and ran back and cursed:
"Cao's grandma, do these guys in your hands eat a good meal? They usually make money and don't say they are afraid of ghosts when playing with women. I think they are sincere in finding fault!"
"I'm going to see which one is blind and dares to disobey my military order!"
"watermelon?"
Chen Yulou was also puzzled.
How could so many watermelons be dug out in the wilderness?
This is really strange, so it’s better to go back as soon as possible.
The group rushed to the scene of the incident under the leadership of the Xiling Road crowd.
When I arrived at the place, I saw shovels and pickaxes everywhere, and watermelon-like fruits could be seen everywhere in the dug pits.
Thousands of people present divided into two groups.
One of the 100-plus Heling Roads and well-equipped pistol companies were working hard to maintain order under the leadership of Huamaguai and his adjutant.
Another group was the chaotic veterans of the engineers and Daozi camp. They were talking about each other. Although no one escaped in the chaos, the scene was once very chaotic.
This says:
"Brother, the sky was clear just now. Maybe the lonely ghost in the tomb knew that we were going to move it, so he warned him."
That said:
"Brother, look at the watermelons we dug out look like bloody heads? I guess we have dug up the ghost's nest. If we dig it down, I'm afraid there will be ghosts coming out to take their lives..."
Just as he was about to feel guilty, he heard two gunshots behind him. The two unlucky guys who were in the army were furious and "named" by the gun by the furious Laowei. Without even humming, his head blossomed on the spot and turned into a demon.
"Cao's grandma, let me see which one is so confused that he dares to gossip?!"
As soon as Luo Laowai appeared, he cleanly and neatly achieved the favorite subordinate who was discussing. Cooperating with his increasingly ferocious face, he shocked the audience.
"Why, don't talk anymore? You guys are all bastards. After taking my money, they have made such a big mess. They can make him laugh at me!"
"Say, who took the lead!"
Luo Laowai's troops have been subjected to his tyranny many times on weekdays. When he saw the commander coming back, they were silent and dared not let go of one more fart.
"Your grandma of Cao, I will open my mouth to me! If you don't say it, you will send you to see the King of Hell!"
Seeing that no one moved, Luo Laowai was so angry that his nose was crooked. He pulled the bolt and made several sounds into the sky, and he yelled in a stern voice.
When a group of soldiers saw the commander get angry, they know that he won’t give up easily, and maybe they will be able to make a big fuss!
Immediately, I was so scared that I was frightened that I pointed my hands at the honestest comrades in my daily life.
Seeing this, Luo Laowai smiled and was not vague. He raised his gun and thumped it a few more unlucky guys who were crying but didn't cry.
