A knife in love

Chapter 91

Yu Changyuan went down the cave, followed by Xu Yingyang, Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei, followed by 28 Zhuang Ding, and He Yi walked at the end alone.Every third person holds a torch, and each Zhuang Ding carries four torches on his back.Yu Changyuan planned for this tomb robbery for a very long time, and he often practiced it when he was in Wuhu Villa, so he was very proficient in cooperating with all the villains.

The slanting stone steps are not too long, after walking more than forty steps, they came to the bottom of the cave.When Li Qiufeng reached the bottom of the cave, he saw Yu Changyuan, Zhuang Hengyun and Xu Yingyang standing in front of a huge stone gate, looking at the stone gate in a daze.

Seeing that Yan Dufei also went down to the bottom of the cave, Yu Changyuan immediately asked, "Brother Yan, are there any instructions in the map drawn by Mr. Qiao?"

Yan Dufei said: "Brother Qiao also left a few words on the map: No three, no four, the child hangs down, left, west, right, east, the way of life will be revealed."

Yu Changyuan frowned, and said to Zhuang Hengyun: "Second brother, try to figure out what Mr. Qiao's words mean?"

At this moment, Zhuang Ding continued to come down the stone steps.The space in front of the stone gate was limited, and it became extremely crowded immediately.Zhuang Ding behind didn't know what happened below, so he rushed forward.A Zhuang Ding was pushed on the waist by the Zhuang Ding behind him, and he fell a somersault.

Yu Changyuan heard the commotion on the stone steps, and immediately shouted: "Stop, don't go down!"

All Zhuang Ding immediately stopped and stood obediently.At this time, Zhuang Hengyun walked around in front of the stone gate, calculated carefully for a long time, and suddenly shouted happily: "Brother, I understand!"

Yu Changyuan said: "Second brother, have you found the mechanism to open this door?"

Zhuang Hengyun pointed to the stone gate and said, "Brother, look at the patterns on the stone gate!"

With the light of the torch, I saw some patterns of stone nails lined up on the stone gate, some in groups of three, some in groups of four.Zhuang Hengyun said: "Since Mr. Qiao wrote 'No Three No Four' on the map, the location of the agency must not be these three or four groups..."

At this time, Yu Changyuan and others also understood the meaning of "not three not four", and they were looking carefully in front of the stone gate.After a while, Xu Yingyang said, "It's here!"

I saw that where Xu Yingyang pointed his fingers was in an inconspicuous place in the lower left corner of the half stone gate on the right. There was a pattern that was different from the others, and it was composed of five stone nails.

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Master Xu has good eyesight, it must be here."

He squatted down and groped for a long time on the five stone nails with his right hand, and found that the pattern of the arrangement of the five stone nails was just like a person with five fingers spread out on his right hand.He was overjoyed and thought to himself: "So that's how it is!" He pressed the five fingers of his right hand on the five stone nails, and it really was a perfect match, and the five stone nails seemed to be made according to his right hand.He exerted a little force with his five fingers, and pressed down in the direction of Shimen.

Hearing a loud "Boom Boom Boom", Zhuang Hengyun hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back.I saw the two stone gates moving slowly to the left and right, and actually retracted into the stone wall.

After the stone gate retracted into the stone wall, a square hole was exposed.The hole was more than one foot high, wide enough for two people to go in and out side by side, and there were bursts of cold air from time to time.

Zhuang Hengyun said to Yu Changyuan: "Mr. Qiao's grave must be in this cave. The younger brother will go in first, and then the elder brother will follow."

Yu Changyuan nodded and said, "Be careful!"

Zhuang Hengyun agreed, and threw the torch in his hand into the hole.He used his internal strength in this throw, and the torch flew into the cave like a sharp sword with a "woo-woo".By the light of the torch, I can see that the cave is made of large blue stones, and there seems to be a round hill in the distance.It's just that when everyone was about to watch carefully, the torch fell to the ground. Although it was still not extinguished, they couldn't see anything in the distance.

Zhuang Hengyun took a torch in his left hand and held it high above his head, while holding a wooden stick in his right hand while beating on the ground while walking forward.Yu Changyuan and Xu Yingyang followed behind.Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei also followed behind.

After reaching the place where the torch fell, Zhuang Hengyun picked up the torch.In this way, both torches were held in his hands, but seeing the torches burning blazingly, the light suddenly became much stronger.

Only twenty steps away, there is a huge round mound, under the light of the torch, it looks like a huge beast, crouching quietly in the depths of the cave.

Zhuang Hengyun stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said to Yu Changyuan: "The round hill in front should be Mr. Qiao's tomb. I'll go and have a look first. Everyone stay here for now."

Seeing Yu Changyuan nodding in agreement, he walked forward cautiously.After walking less than five steps, it suddenly became clear to the left and right, and it turned out that he had arrived in a huge stone room.This stone chamber is square enough to accommodate a hundred people.It's just that there is nothing else in the stone room except the round hill, which makes people feel quite strange.

Zhuang Hengyun put the wooden stick in his left hand, and took out a small stone ball from his rucksack with his right hand, squatted down and threw it forward, and the stone ball rolled along the ground towards the round hill.Hearing the sound of "grumble rumble", the stone ball hit the round hill before stopping, but the ground was no different.Zhuang Hengyun drew a gourd and rolled eight stone balls in all directions of the stone room in the same way. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he turned to Yu Changyuan and said, "Brother, you all come in."

Everyone rushed into the stone room, only to see a huge room, only this round hill stood more than ten steps away.Yan Dufei was ahead of the crowd and walked to the round hill with a few steps, but saw a short stone table in front of the round hill and a stone tablet behind it.This stone tablet is almost as tall as a person. On the top of the tablet is engraved with a picture of two dragons playing with a pearl, and in the middle of the lower part is engraved with four characters "Emperor Ming Chi Burial" in parallel.In the middle of the front of the stele is vertically engraved "the tomb of Hanzhong Nangong, Commander of Mighty Bo Jinyiwei".

Yan Dufei fell to the ground and cried loudly, which only made the whole stone room buzz.

Yu Changyuan and others came forward and bowed to the grave several times.Xu Yingyang said: "Unexpectedly, Master Nan was actually buried here, and he was also named Mighty Uncle, which is the great favor of the late emperor. It's just that after he ascended the throne, no one mentioned the name of Master Nan again. It’s really depressing to think about.”

Yan Dufei kowtowed a few more times, then stood up, and said to Xu Yingyang: "The current emperor is a foreign vassal who seized the throne, and I, brother Qiao, a loyal minister of the former emperor, must be belittled. My senior brother followed the former emperor underground , perhaps escaped a catastrophe. Many favorite ministers around the late emperor were demoted or killed after the new emperor took the throne, alas."

Yu Changyuan was not even half interested in these court disputes. He said to Yan Dufei: "Mr. Qiao asked us to find his tomb, and now we have found it. I wonder where the treasure he mentioned is?"

Yan Dufei glanced at Yu Changyuan, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said, "Senior brother Qiao said in the letter that we will know the reason of this matter after we get to his tomb. Let's search around in this stone room. There will be clues."

Hearing this, Yu Changyuan turned around and said to the Zhuang Ding, "Everyone, search this stone room and see if you can find anything!"

All the Zhuang Ding of Wuhu Villa agreed, and immediately searched around the stone room with torches.

However, He Yi did not search around with the Zhuang Ding, but went straight to Qiao Sinan's tomb, first walked around the tombstone, and then walked to the side of Qiao Sinan's grave, and looked carefully.Turning his head to Yu Changyuan, he said, "What Mr. Qiao left behind is probably in this stone hill."

At this time, Zhuang Ding, who was searching around the stone chamber, had gathered in front of the mound and reported that they hadn't found anything.Yu Changyuan nodded and said: "It seems that what the third child said is correct. The thing we are looking for should be in Mr. Qiao's tomb."

He Yi said: "This rock mound is very solidly built, but we can blow it up with gunpowder..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Dufei said angrily: "No way! How dare you blow up my brother's grave?!"

He Yi sneered and said, "We came here to make a fortune. If it's your senior brother, or your own parents, this grave will be blown up!"

Yan Dufei opened his eyes wide, pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and said, "Third He, if you dare to disrespect my brother, I will ask you to be buried here with him!"

Zhuang Hengyun hurried forward, stopped Yan Dufei and said, "Brother Yan, don't get angry. Let's think of a way to see if we can take out the things without alarming Mr. Qiao..."

Yan Dufei said: "Whoever dares to move my brother's tomb, I will kill him. If anyone doesn't believe it, you might as well try it!"
