"Incisive. Incisive, you really are a big shot, with such depth in your words!" Old Qiu gave a thumbs up and flattered him.

Suddenly a figure rushed in front of him, with his hands on his hips and asked, "Are there any rumors of a lonely family in Jianghu?"

"you are……"

"I am Lord Horse of the Valley of the Wind!" The pony jumped up.

"Oh, it's Tianshi Ma! It is rumored that you are born with supernatural powers, and you like to eat ghosts. You often catch ghosts and go to the Valley of the Wind to eat for dinner..."

"Damn, what a bad taste I am!" Pony scolded angrily.

Ye Shaoyang blocked him, and said to Lao Qiu: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's talk about business, Lao Qiu, what do you know about that ancient tomb and the missing mages?"

After speaking, he patted the edge of the bed and asked him to sit. This room is too small, and there are so many people crowded, there is really no place to sit.

Lao Qiu didn't dare to do anything, but they were all sitting, and he felt it was impolite to talk while standing, so he just sat on the ground, looked up at them, and started talking.

That ancient tomb was discovered about ten years ago. In the beginning, there was a lake there. No one knows how long it was formed. The nearby area is also a deserted wasteland. Because the water and soil are not good, there are no people in a radius of tens of miles.

About ten years ago, a developer took a fancy to that lake and wanted to build a community nearby, so he started construction there, hired a group of workers, built a work shed nearby, and started construction. One day, a worker fell into the lake and drowned. His body sank, but he couldn't find it after several days of salvage, so he had to give up.

But not long after, another worker died mysteriously in the lake. After that, strange things happened one after another. The construction team quit. These workers were all brought out from their hometown by the foreman to work. I can't explain it to my family. So under the command of the foreman, everyone found a water pump to drain the lake and find the corpses of the workers.

After several days and nights, the water was finally drained. At first there was nothing, but these workers did not give up. After all, people die in the water, and corpses cannot disappear out of thin air. So they took turns guarding the shore.

It was midsummer at that time, and on the third day when everyone stayed there, the last bit of water below the lake dried up. At this time, a man with disheveled hair emerged from the mud, and all the workers were terrified. It was like seeing a ghost. , but fortunately there were so many people and they were all on the shore, so they didn't leave, and hid in the distant woods to observe.

After waiting for a while, I saw that thing poking its head out of the mud, poking its head, as if observing the surrounding situation.

This thing looks like a wart. Among the workers, someone had heard the legend of the water monkey and suspected it was a water monkey, so he bravely called everyone to check it out, and the water monkey got into the last puddle of water in the mud again.

Lao Qiu talked about things vividly, like commenting on a storytelling book. When he said this, he slapped his thigh and said, "Guess what happens next?"

Lao Guo slapped him on the forehead, "Brothers hate being tricky, so hurry up and get to the point!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Lao Qiu was slapped for a while, and immediately became much weaker, and then he spoke faster.

After knowing that it was a water monkey, the workers discussed it and suspected that there must be a water monkey's nest under the lake. The dead workers were probably dragged into the nest by the water monkey, so they discussed a solution together. Finally, someone proposed to use salt, because there is a folk saying that water monkeys are most afraid of salt, so they can only survive in fresh water.

So the workers went to buy two boxes of industrial salt, and sprinkled them on the pool of water where the water monkey dived... Not long after, the water monkey came out, circling anxiously at the bottom of the lake, looking for water. The place. At this time, the workers went up together and smashed it to death with the prepared stones one by one.

Later, when the lake dried up for a few more days and the silt dried up completely, the workers used tools to dig near the puddle. Unexpectedly, the digging got bigger and bigger. The body was not found, but a natural cave was dug out.

This incident alarmed the developer, who felt that the cave was strange, so he organized some people to enter and investigate. The cave was shaped like an urn, and several corpses were inside, and there was a cave on the side. Everyone went in curiously and found that it was a tunnel. , Going deeper and deeper, the inside extends in all directions, like an underground tomb.

After they came out, they reported to the developer, who was shocked and spent a lot of money to silence these people, dismissed all the workers, and organized a group of people to rob the tomb.

"It's illogical." Old Guo couldn't help interjecting when he heard this, "It's just a hole in the ground, even if it was dug by someone, how could it have something to do with the ancient tomb?"

Old Qiu said: "You don't know this. We have a summer resort in Chengde. During the Qing Dynasty, it was the emperor's residence in the Qing Dynasty. Many emperors often came here, not only because our place is cool in summer, but most importantly, This is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and the emperor built a palace here, which is equivalent to enclosing this treasure land of geomantic omen.

There are rumors that there is not only the palace of the royal family here, but also an ancient tomb, which was dug underground by the way when the Manchus entered the customs and built the palace here, just in case the dragon veins in the northeast area were tense. Once it is broken, there is still a place here, and there is even a saying that the construction of the palace here is just to hide people's eyes and ears, and it is actually to dig this ancient tomb...

Later, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi thought that she would be buried here secretly after her death, so as to avoid being dug up by foreigners and being humiliated. It was only after the Eight-Power Allied Forces withdrew that she gave up. However, there is also a saying that when the cemetery was built, a pregnant palace lady was killed and buried in it in order to guard the tomb.

After all, the maid is pregnant with dragon species, the flesh and blood of the emperor, and burying it in this cemetery is tantamount to claiming the cemetery. Since it is the tomb of the royal family and buried people, it is naturally impossible that there are other things. As long as there is something, it must be a priceless treasure. There are even rumors that Lafayette Cixi buried many good things in this ancient tomb before being driven south to avoid being snatched by foreigners.

So after the hiccups of the Qing Dynasty, many tomb robbers came here to watch the wind, looking for this piece of Manchu Qing imperial tombs that did not appear in history, but they ended up without a problem... Later they were liberated, and the previous rumors gradually disappeared. A few years ago, the developer discovered the underground cave. Recalling the legends of the year, he immediately felt that this place was likely to be the imperial tomb, so he blocked the news and organized his own people to go to the tomb. "
