Chapter 23

Shining a flashlight on it, I looked at my watch. It was already almost six o'clock in the morning. It would be bright in another hour or so. By then, no matter how lonely the souls were, they would probably not dare to show up again. As soon as it's bright, we have to find a way to get out. We really don't want to stay in this magical place for a second.

As for the strange smell that caused hallucinations among several of us, this is just a few of us's guesses. What if it is really a spiritual thing? Therefore, we must go out at dawn, just in case.

"It's almost six o'clock now. There's really nothing interesting to see in this general's tomb. We might as well cause something bad to happen again. Fortunately, Zhiqiang was not fooled this time. Otherwise, all of us would have died here. I Let’s stop wandering around, hurry back to the hole where we fell down, and think about how to climb out.” I said to everyone.

Xiaoxu and Zhiqiang naturally had no objections to my point of view, but Zhuzhu seemed a little unhappy. He said pitifully: "Brother Xiaojiu, we haven't seen much here yet and we have to leave? Let's look around again." , then we haven’t seen what the general in the coffin looks like, aren’t you all curious?”

"I'm curious about your sister. Now that she's gone, are you still thinking about the gold and silver treasures in the coffin? I don't know how many times this tomb has been robbed, and only a few broken tiles are left. There’s really nothing to see, I guess there’s just a bunch of bones left in the coffin, so hurry up and don’t wait any longer.” I urged angrily.

Zhu Zi still said with a little reluctance: "Then before I leave, can I take a look at the general in the coffin? I haven't seen what the general of the Wen Dynasty looks like..."

Originally, I wanted to reject this guy, but seeing his pitiful look with blood on his face, I really couldn't bear it. I hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay... I'll just take a look and be right back."

When Zhuzi heard that I relaxed, he was so happy that he was about to run over. At this time, Zhiqiang and Xiaoxu also wanted to join in the fun and go over to take a look.

In fact, when Zhu Zhu said this, I felt itchy in my heart. In this so-called general's tomb, the little girl is just a supporting role. The real protagonist is the general in the big coffin. Even though he came here, it's really a little strange if he doesn't take a look at it. It doesn't make sense.

At that moment, I ordered: "Don't be anxious, everyone. This is a must-see, but we all have to pay attention. Don't be fascinated like we were just now. Let's do this, Zhuzi, you and Zhi Qiang stay here first, Xiaoxu and I will go over and take a look, it will be your turn to take a look soon."

No one had any objection to my proposal. Only Zhu Zhu urged: "Brother Xiaojiu, please hurry up."

"I know, why are you so anxious? We'll just take a quick look and be right back."

Saying that, Xiaoxu and I slowly came to the side of the large coffin. After Xiaoxu had the previous incident, he did not dare to get too close to the coffin and kept hiding behind me. I was a step away from the coffin. He stopped two meters away and looked inside. All he saw was a corpse lying in the coffin. To be precise, it was a mummy, like dried bacon, with deep skin. The cheekbones were sunken, the cheekbones protruded, the skin once showed a dark brown color, and there were many spots on it, and the teeth were also black. The corpse did not rot, but only turned into a mummy. It seems that the Feng Shui of this general's tomb is still Not bad.

The official uniform worn by this general was almost in tatters. Only a pair of boots looked intact. Since it had been stolen, all the valuables on this general were stripped away, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in it. It was just a layer of dry skin. It was far less powerful and upright than the generals painted on the murals. It was really not that good to see. Xiaoxu and I only looked at it twice and then walked away. I scratched my head and scratched my head anxiously at the pillar not far away. Said: "Okay... there's nothing interesting to see, Zhuzi, just take a look."

Zhuzi couldn't wait a long time ago, and Zhiqiang and I hurried forward and walked to the side of the coffin, while Xiaoxu and I stepped back and stood not far away, waiting for them.

Suddenly, I remembered something and asked the knowledgeable Xiao Xu next to me: "Xiao Xu, you said that this tomb was robbed before. They should have opened the little girl's coffin and looked at it. Those tomb robbers Is it possible for people to be deceived like us and then kill each other?”

Xiaoxu thought for a moment and then said: "It's impossible to say for sure. It depends on whether the tomb robbers are professional or not. If they are authentic gold-touching captains, they usually won't fall for such a little scheme. Because the ability to touch gold captains has been passed down from the Liuzhou period. They know what dangers are in this tomb. Sometimes they even wear gas masks to rob the tomb below. Basically, they will not be tricked. On the contrary, Those ignorant thieves are the easiest to fall into here, but having said that, it’s not just ordinary people who can find where the general’s tomb is, it’s probably a serious gold-touching captain or a local master who did it…”

I nodded thoughtfully, and an idea flashed through my mind again, and I suddenly thought of Zhang Laosan. How did Zhang Laosan make a fortune?

Is this a job similar to that of touching gold captains?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is that I think it is very possible. First of all, Zhang Laosan has always been mysterious. How he made his fortune has always been a mystery. No one in the village knows. Ask him and he won’t tell. In the past few years, Suddenly he became rich, built a two-story house, bought a car, and married a wife. The money came from a very strange way. Tomb robbing is definitely an industry to make a fortune. Just take something out of an ancient tomb and bring it to the world. If you go up and sell it, it will be very expensive, but this industry cannot tell people openly, which is why he did not tell us.

Secondly, according to the old man Dong who herds sheep in the village, a week before the massacre of Zhang Laosan’s family, he once saw me, Zhang Laosan and his party near Langtougou. The few people who were with him, Old Man Dong didn't see clearly, but Old Man Dong only recognized Zhang Laosan. Zhang Laosan didn't meet with Old Man Dong at all and was dodging. He must have just returned from robbing the tomb in Langtougou, and he also stole the general we are currently in. Tomb, he didn’t want Old Man Dong to recognize him, so he kept it secret...

After sorting out my thoughts in this way, I feel that it is completely correct. Seven or eight times this old thirty is doing tomb robbery for a living, but what I can't figure out is what is the real reason for the massacre of Zhang Laosan's family?
