Chapter 261: The largest tomb robbery in history

Having said this, Zhang Dafoye paused and said to the younger brother.

"I wanted to ask the head of the family for his opinion at that time, but... I couldn't find you."

The younger brother has always been a loner and is a professional in missing persons. He often cannot be contacted for many years in a row.

In addition, more than 40 years ago, communications were not yet developed, so it was extremely difficult to find him in the vast sea of ​​people.

The younger brother expressed his understanding of this.

"It's okay, keep talking."

Lord Zhang continued.

In fact, the reason why that tomb robbery incident was called the largest in history was not because of its scale and influence.

But because of heavy losses!

In terms of scale, before liberation, many tomb robbing incidents were much larger. For example, Sun Dianying's robbery of Cixi's tomb required thousands of troops.

There are also the Xiling bandits from the northern faction, who mobilize thousands of people at every turn to dig mountains and rob tombs with brute force.

Not to mention that there are official tomb-robbering armies such as Bu Yanqi, Mo Jin Xiaowei, and Faqiu Zhonglang in history. They are even more powerful!

In short, this tomb robbing incident gathered almost all the masters of Laojiu Sect, except for a few people who did not participate, such as Zhang Dafo who was inconvenient to come forward, the aloof and arrogant Er Erhong and others.

This army of tomb robbers marched to Sichuan in a mighty manner and came to a place called Siguniang Mountain, where the thing the other party was looking for was hidden.

Zhang Dafoye did not elaborate on the detailed process of this tomb robbery incident because he did not personally participate and did not know the details.

He only said that it took more than three years, but in the end it paid a heavy price of hundreds of lives!

You must know that it was a team that assembled almost all the masters of the Southern Sect. Even stealing an emperor's tomb was a piece of cake, but they actually suffered a big loss in a place like that.

This shows how dangerous that place is!

It takes a long time to train a master, as well as strong financial support. The loss of so many masters at one time greatly damaged the vitality of Laojiu Sect, and it has never recovered from the fall.

Since this incident was led by Zhang Dafo Lord, it resulted in such a result that his prestige was greatly reduced. He was unable to give a satisfactory explanation to Laojiumen and could only wash his hands and retire.

Having said this, Zhang Dafoye let out a long sigh, with a look of guilt on his face.

The younger brother looked at him and said a rare comfort.

"It's not your fault."

Lord Zhang shook his head and said.

"Actually, this is not the most important thing. What really makes me feel guilty is... I am sorry for the Zhang family!"

After saying that, there was a pop.

Kneel down in front of the little brother.

"Please punish me, head of the family!"

The little brother was stunned and asked confused.

"What does this matter have to do with the Zhang family?"

Ji Changsheng's eyes moved and he asked softly.

"Is it related to the Zhang Family Ancient Building?"

Lord Zhang didn't show any surprise, he just nodded heavily.

"Yes, I realized later that the main purpose of this tomb robbery was actually for the Zhang Family Ancient Building!"

Ji Changsheng showed a true expression.

The younger brother still looked puzzled.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Get up and speak clearly."

Only then did Lord Zhang get up and said.

"Actually, I visited the Zhang Family Ancient Building several decades ago, but I didn't go inside. I don't know what's inside."

"But I know that the Zhang family's biggest secret is hidden in the ancient building!"

"And the real purpose of that operation in Sichuan was to find a way to enter the Zhang family's ancient building!"

"Fortunately, this operation failed, otherwise I don't know how to face the ancestors of the Zhang family."

The little brother nodded and said.

"That's okay."

At this time, Ji Changsheng suddenly said something.

"Did it really fail?"

At the same time, Huo Xiangu was recounting the past events of that year.

She was the person who personally participated in that incident and knew the details better than Zhang Dafoye.

She was only in her forties at the time, and she brought a group of experts from the Huo family to Siguniang Mountain. She originally thought they were stealing an emperor's tomb.

The destination turned out to be a bare mountain cliff.

Not to mention the tomb of an emperor, there is not even the tomb of a rich man.

From the perspective of geomantic omen and topography, there is no possibility of a large tomb here.

However, she was not the leader of the team and did not know the inside story. With this doubt, they began to take action on the cliff.

Later, we really found some caves on the cliff. There were some very strange things in the caves. They didn't look like tombs, but they contained an astonishing number of cultural relics.

Moreover, the scale of these caves is very large, and there are countless number of them.

All in all, a team of several thousand people dug for three years and unearthed hundreds of boxes of cultural relics!

Upon hearing this, Wuxie immediately blurted out.

"Is it the same as Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes?"

The Mogao Grottoes once contained tens of thousands of precious cultural relics, but they were robbed by foreigners during the war. To this day, only a small part has been recovered, and most of them are still scattered overseas.

If Siguniang Mountain is another Mogao Grottoes, then no matter from any value point of view, it is worthy of the title of the largest tomb robbery incident in history!

Huo Xiangu shook her head and replied.

"I don't think it looks like it, but it's hard to say because I don't know where it is."

"It looks like a family's tombs, but there are no coffins, only bones."

"Anyway, something terrible happened and the operation was halted."

Speaking of terrible things, a trace of panic flashed across her face.

Huo Xiangu has also experienced countless storms and waves, and is not a weak person.

Half a century later, she still has lingering fears when she thinks of what happened back then.

This shows how dangerous that incident was!

The fat man asked immediately.

"Did you encounter a terrible monster or a trap?"

"With so many masters like you, how could you suffer such a big loss?"

Huo Xiangu took a deep breath and shook her head.

"In fact, to this day, we don't know what it is."

"No one knows!"

Wu Xie and the fat man looked at each other, revealing a puzzled look.

"How did those people die? There must be an explanation, right?"

When Huo Xiangu thought of what happened that year, her face turned pale.

"Their deaths were so tragic. Some of them seemed to be dissolved by sulfuric acid, and their entire bodies melted into a pool of blood!"

"Others inexplicably grew a lot of black hair, not only on their bodies, but also in their internal organs!"

"Some people's bodies were not even found."

"No one knows what they encountered in there!"

When these words came out, everyone was scared.

If it was a monster mechanism or something, there would always be a way to deal with it. Thousands of tomb robbers would not be stopped by these things.

Only those things that are completely unknown will make people helpless.

Unknown things are always the most terrifying!
