The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 85: Ancient Tombs

While Yan Ruoshui was busy leading his troops to encircle and suppress two hundred killers in a mountain depression, the situation on Guo Nuan and Cui Ying's side was not optimistic.

It's the ninth day, and I didn't expect the two of them to last so long in the deep mountains.But what Guo Nuan was most worried about happened.Early this morning, Guo Nuan found several piles of extinguished bonfire pits in a forest. This was not good news. Before confirming whether it was an enemy or a friend, Guo Nuan quickly left the forest with Cui Ying .

The two were unlucky. When they crossed a mountain ridge, they were discovered by seven or eight killers who were two hills away from behind. The two sides stared at each other for more than ten seconds on the hill two or three miles away. This feeling is really weird. Soon, the two sides froze, the feeling was that no one expected to meet each other suddenly, and then a new round of chasing and killing games began again.

"Grandma, there are seven or eight killers chasing after me, what a fucking bad luck!" Guo Nuan took Cui Ying's hand cursingly, and the two hurriedly ran towards the hill ahead.

Guo Nuan took a woman with her, and she couldn't run very fast, so she went to the grass in the ravine. However, when she went down the mountain, the grass and trees were thick, and there were many deep ditches hidden. Maybe there were hundreds of meters of cliffs below. If you don't pay attention, you will fall, and you will definitely be smashed to pieces.

After running for more than an hour, the gang of black-clothed killers behind him never looked away. Cui Ying was exhausted at first, bending over and covering her stomach, panting violently.

"Idiot, I can't do it anymore, I can't run anymore." Cui Yingdou's sweat kept coming out of her forehead, and her lips turned white.

"I'll carry you." Guo Nuan couldn't help but pick up Cui Ying and continue to move forward. Staying in place for a while, the danger will be closer. The killer is following closely behind. Come up, the fighting strength is seven to one, and they are at a disadvantage. The two of them will definitely die, and they become desperate couples.

The day before yesterday, due to the heavy rain in the mountainous area, Cui Ying had a fever after a day in the rain because she couldn't find a cave to hide from the rain, and her condition has not been good.

After walking for another half an hour, the killer, who was originally separated by two hills, had already moved closer to a hill.Guo Nuan was secretly worried.Descending the mountain, I spotted a locust forest, and Guo Nuan rushed in panting with Cui Ying on her back, whatever the fuck 21 [-], small sample, Guo Nuan worked hard, as if he had eaten expired ** Very quickly, he ran so fast, he still didn't believe that he couldn't run away from these killers with a woman on his back.

The forest is very deep, and it feels a little ghostly. The dense leaves above cover most of the sunlight, casting mottled shadows.Guo Nuan didn't care too much. In order to get rid of the killer who was approaching every step of the way, he led Cui Ying around.

Passing through a circle of cypress trees, the vision suddenly became clear. Guo Nuan and the two came to a cemetery garden. Dozens of large and small stone lions and stone figurines were scattered in the surrounding weeds. If the arm is missing, the nose is broken, the stone head is also missing, and many ivy mantles are still hanging on the stone statue.

A mottled black granite wall collapsed, Guo Nuan didn't care about the tomb that suddenly appeared, and rushed in through the gap in the wall with Cui Ying on his back.

Many stone inscriptions were poured into the tomb, but the door of the tomb was opened, but from the outside, it was dark inside, and only a few steps down the stone steps outside the door could be seen clearly. Leaving a corner of the stone gate tilted.

"Quack—" From time to time, a few crows and sparrows croaked strangely on the lush green ancient trees, looking very gloomy in the secluded burial forest.

"Idiot, there's something strange here, let's go, I'm afraid..." Cui Ying, who had landed on the ground, pulled Guo Nuan's clothes, a little timidly.

"The killers are about to catch up. If we go further, we will eventually be caught up. Let's go, let's go into the tomb. If we encounter the secret passage in the tomb, they won't be able to find us. Damn, maybe we can escape It's a catastrophe." Guo Nuan pulled Cui Ying up, gritted her teeth, and rushed into the tomb door.

In the dark corridor, Guo Nuan used the charcoal sparks kept in the bamboo tube to ignite the small pine sticks in his pocket. These were collected the day before yesterday and left over from the evening journey. There were twenty sticks in total, and ten sticks contained grease. The wooden sticks can burn for half an hour.

Walking into the long and narrow corridor, there are many murals of figures on the stone murals on both sides, most of which are court ladies, and there are war scenes of fighting on the battlefield.But it is a pity that due to the long history, the rainwater on the ground seeped down and seeped into the stone walls, and most of the murals have been blurred.Guo Nuan reckoned that this tomb should belong to a prince or nobleman in the Qin Dynasty.This is not the time to appreciate these things, Guo Nuan thought about finding a safe corner.

"Uh, there's a pile of extinguished firewood here." Guo Nuan held up a burning wooden stick to open the way in front of the dark, unexpectedly, he stepped on a pile of firewood.

"Someone has been here?" Cui Ying hid behind Guo Nuan, clinging to him. For a girl, entering the grave is indeed a bit timid.

Guo Nuan squatted down to pick up a thick piece of charcoal, broke off two sections, the charcoal core was dry, it seems that it didn't burn for a long time, otherwise the leaky tunnel would be filled with water vapor, and the charcoal in the tunnel would have been left for a long time. It must have soaked up the moisture and got wet. "It is very likely that a tomb robber came recently." Guo Nuan immediately concluded.

The two walked a few hundred steps forward, and after the corridor turned a corner, a waist-wide soil hole was opened vertically above the stone wall, casting a faint beam of sunlight down.

"Well, it's true, there's a big roof on the wall of the cave. A Tu Fuzi has been here!" Cui Ying said, pointing at the robbery cave.

Below the robbery hole were a few pieces of rags and a length of hemp rope, a broken porcelain jar, a few fragments stained with some blood, and a few round copper coins with square holes scattered under the robbery hole.

A few muddy footprints were left on the ground, and there were two kinds of footprints of similar size. Careful Guo Nuan could see the difference in length.There were a few drops of turpentine oil on the ground, which seemed to be left over from the tomb robber's lighting.

"Uh, the hemp rope is not a complete piece." Guo Nuan handed the burning wooden stick to Cui Ying, picked up the discarded rope on the ground, and looked at it carefully before her eyes.

"What does one have to do with the half?" Cui Ying was a little puzzled immediately, feeling that Guo Nuan had made a fuss over this detail.

"It was broken with a sharp weapon, such as an iron axe, a machete, and the like."

The hemp rope was very thick, as thick as Guo Nuan's thumb, and the cut was smooth and smooth, without any stubble. It was obvious at a glance that it was cut quickly and vigorously with a heavy knife.

"The length of the rope only reaches more than half of the entrance of the robber's hole above. There are broken porcelain and blood drops on the ground."

Guo Nuan pondered for a moment, looked at Cui Ying, and then replied:

"I estimate that two grave robbers came near this tomb about five days ago. Maybe it happened like this. When the two thieves stole the funeral objects, they were about to climb out of the hole. After climbing up the hole with the hemp rope, he asked the thief below to hand over the funeral objects. Just as the second thief climbed into the air along the rope, the person above cut the rope and slipped away with the funeral objects. That unlucky guy fell from mid-air, and the porcelain and copper objects in his arms fell down, and he fell down and was injured."

"Well, it's very possible." Cui Ying nodded. Just now she was wondering why the tight door of the tomb outside was opened. Now that she thinks about it, maybe one of the remaining tomb robbers saw that his companion betrayed him and slipped away. I had no choice but to follow the passage to the tomb gate, pry open the stone latch from the inner gate and escape.

"Let's go, I guess the secret passage of the tomb inside has been completely destroyed by the two guys who robbed the tomb first. There should be no danger for us to go in."

Guo Nuan immediately stopped staying where she was, and called Cui Ying to continue walking.The further they walked, the more the two of them found that there were more items left in the corridor.

Iron chisels, small steel knives, and iron saws were all thrown away randomly, and there were also some large items on the ground, such as earthen pots, stone carvings, exquisite inscriptions, and various brocades, silks, silks, silks, and yarns scattered all over the ground. For hundreds of years, the colors are still bright, including bright red, earthy yellow, grass green, and deep purple, but they are all moldy and rotten.Guo Nuan secretly lamented that these two tomb robbers were quite capable of tossing around, and this huge pile of things couldn't be taken away so they threw them everywhere.

"Jie Jie—" Just as Guo Nuan and the two were groping for the front of the corridor, a shadow flashed in a hidden corner behind them.
