Chapter 215 Murder and Treasure
Pei Wanling led the three of them to the direction of the thief hole she dug with a Luoyang shovel, but it was too late. The ground swayed slightly along the way, and dust continued to fall from above her head. Before they could reach the place, they were blocked by the closed Broken Dragon Stone.
After asking about the location, Pei Wanling led everyone to the entrance of the cave when Wei Zhanmei and the others came down, but he was still blocked from the Dragon Broken Stone halfway.
Pei Wanling stomped his feet and said, "What a strict design. When I took the gold coffin just now, I had already put the substitute with a similar weight into the silver coffin at the same time. What I was afraid of was to take out the gold coffin to induce the mechanism, but who knew it would not work."
"What should I do?"
Wei Zhanmei and the other two were not proficient in the arrangement of mechanisms in the ancient tomb passages, but they also knew that once all the broken dragon stones fell and closed, the ancient tomb would become a living coffin.
"There is no other way. The Broken Dragon Stone cannot be opened from the inside. For the sake of the present, I can only look around. I hope that after more than a thousand years, the geological conditions here will change and we can find a weak collapse place."
The three of them tacitly did not dare to ask again what to do if they could not find the breakthrough, and followed Pei Wanling to check around the tomb.
Pei Wanling observed all the way, and sometimes knocked and beaten, but did not find any gaps that could be used. Just as everyone's hearts were getting deeper and deeper and the indoor air began to become thinner and stuffy, finally there was no way out. The heavens paid off. They saw a glimmer of vitality behind the micro ancient temple.
A broken dragon stone fell down at the back of the ancient temple, but the soil here may be soft and the slide was squeezed, and the broken dragon stone became crooked. When it finally landed, a thin slit several fingers were left on one side.
The four of them found some hard stone objects and sharp burial objects from nearby and began to work together to dig.
Although the stone floor was hard, relying on this gap and two sharp swords, after all the efforts of the slit, it finally dug a gap that could barely allow one person to climb out.
The four people drilled out one after another and arrived behind the Broken Dragon Stone. Under the light of the fire slit, this place was still a confined space.
Seeing the solid gravel rammed earth walls on three sides, Wei Zhanmei and the other two couldn't help but look disappointed. Are you really going to be trapped here?
After carefully checking and knocking, Pei Wanling looked happy and said, "There is a chance. Look, there are signs of water seepage and drying up here, which means it is not far from the ground. And after echo judgment, the opposite side should be empty."
As long as there is hope, the three of them were very excited when they heard this. They took Wei Zhanmei as the main force and continued to use all available objects to dig the walls.
After hard excavation, with a loud bang, the earth and stone walls were pierced, and a burst of dust flew over, a vast space appeared opposite, supported by dozens of thick wooden pillars, and there were many wooden boxes that were only one person tall.
Wei Zhanmei and the other two looked at each other, and they were lucky in disguise. This place might be the treasure place they were looking for on this trip.
When I opened a box, it turned out that there were indeed treasures such as gold bricks and silver ingots.
They cheered together, the most urgent task was not to search for property, but to continue to find the exit.
The four of them were about to look for the door of the crypt secret room when they heard footsteps. Before they could hide, three of them turned out from the front.
The three of them were obviously attracted by the sound of the cracked wall. They were all wearing strong clothes and holding a knife in their hands. A man shouted: "Who is so brave, you dare to sneak in and steal treasures. You're impatient to live."
Wei Zhanmei looked opposite, and he could recognize one of the three, the young man in white who had seen far from the Yanjia Village in Ziguishan. He suspected that he was Wei Putian, the young master of the rebel army wanted by the Nanzhen Fushishi District.
The book secretly states that Wei Zhanmei's judgment is correct, and this person is Wei Putian.
Wei Putian was ordered to go to Yanjiazhai to ask for military pay. Although someone broke into Yanjiazhai at night, the Yan family still gave enough money as agreed.
As the beloved disciple and young master of the chief lord, Wei Putian is smart and capable, and has mastered the true teachings of the chief lord in his entirety, but he is a playboy.
He was proud of the favor of the chief lord, and was not vague in managing the affairs of the hall and commanding the military. However, he was arrogant and unruly in his daily life, and was unruly in his behavior.
This time he returned from escorts to military pay, he did not dare to make the idea of more than a dozen vehicles of military supplies, but he spent too much money on his daily life. After lingering in the brothels and brothels on the way, he was very tight, so he ordered his deputy to take the car back and leave first, and he secretly came here with two confidants.
This is a place that only a few core senior executives in Kuaixue Shiqing Hall can know, and it is a guaranteed secret place that will only be opened in case of moments and in the last critical moment. Wei Putian is one of the insiders, knowing the location and opening methods.
He is the future host of the church, and regards this place as the source of private wealth. He has taken away the property from it several times for private use. Anyway, no matter how much it is, it will be a drop in the bucket.
This time I came here secretly and planned to use some and then catch up with the convoy day and night. I didn't expect that someone would sneak in.
That's not bad!
After Wei Putian secretly said that he had already sentenced these four little thieves to death in his heart. When he saw the faces of several people clearly, he was even more surprised and ordered:
"I'll deal with this man. You two, take down three girls. Remember, you will capture them alive. This remote countryside is almost suffocating me to death these days. It's rare to meet three beautiful and tender cardamom products. It's not too late to kill them after playing them. I'll give you two the rest."
"Yes, don't worry, young master." The two confidants knew the elegant meaning when they heard the Xian Ge, and they both smirked.
"Wei Zhanmei" came through time. Although he was a person with many shadows, after hearing this, his affection for Wei Putian suddenly disappeared and he could not tell a lesson.
The three girls behind him were even more furious after hearing this, and Ji Yu and Pei Wanling stepped forward.
Ji Yu was the princess of Qingchuan, so naturally he could not stand such dirty words. She was not old, but she had also gone to war with the army. Although she had not taken the battle personally, she had seen the bloody battles between the two armies in front of the battle. Her master Wen Rushenni had a strong personality and the disciples trained were not allowed to be people with greenhouse flowers and flirting. She did not lack the experience of actual hunters and killing evil people in the world.
Not to mention Pei Wanling, she is a man of unrestrained nature, noble and cold, and straightforward character. The elders of the masters are all crazy about martial arts. They don’t fight with warriors and swordsmen who are itchy all over their bodies for three days. She doesn’t say that she treats human life as grass, but she doesn’t treat bean bags as dry food.
Wei Putian's two subordinates had good martial arts skills. They were both high-ranking martial arts masters recruited by Kuaixue Shiqingtang, and were also first-class martial arts masters. However, the two female masters were famous. Not only did they have good internal skills, but their sword skills were surprisingly good, but they were also powerful weapons. They cut off their long swords in a few seconds. In addition, they were angry and ruthless. The two were simply stabbed with the heart-wrenching sword and their corpse fell to the ground.
Wei Zhanmei was not so relaxed.
Wei Pu is both talented and has received guidance from famous teachers. He is willing to work hard. He has a great skill and is much better than his subordinates.
He held a pair of handguards in his hand, which was half shorter than the commonly used ones. He made a move to attack, and his style was dangerous.
Moreover, after getting started, both of them were secretly surprised. The sword techniques and hook techniques of both sides were quite similar, but the double hooks were the nemesis of sword-like weapons, which made Wei Zhanmei feel restrained everywhere and restrained.
After Ji Yu and Pei Wanling quickly concluded their unspoken opponents, they saw that Wei Zhanmei was not at risk of defeat, but did not attack. Instead, they were frowning and looked calmly with their hands behind their backs.
Although Wei Zhanmei was at a disadvantage, he would resist the enemy.
The opponent's weapon is to restrain him, but he feels familiar with the other party's hooking method. Although it is difficult to deal with it, there is no big danger.
Wei Putian had a hard time and his heart was filled with great waves.
First, the two subordinates died soon made it difficult for him to accept it. These two men were not as good as him, but they would not have lost their lives by the two girls in three moves and five moves. How strong is the two women? They have hit the iron plate now.
Second, Wei Zhanmei looks a few years younger than him, but he can fight with him for a long time without showing any obvious defeat. You should know that Wei Putian is among the young handsome men in the contemporary world, but he is recognized as a rising star with a very high ranking.
Third, although Ji Yu and Pei Wanling did not participate in the siege, the two women had a strong aura and were full of evil spirits. They were surrounded by the power of murder and the sword. The psychological pressure was too great, which made him unable to bear it.
Money is something outside the body, nothing is more important than life. Wei Putian has a great future, but he has not lived enough, so he stays in the mountains without fear of no firewood. Remember the appearance of these people, Wei Putian gave up.
After shaking several hooks, Wei Putian pulled away and pulled back. At the same time, he pulled the hook into the weapon cover on his back, raised his hands and shot dozens of silver needles at the four people.
He is also a famous hidden weapon master!
Ji Yu flashed to protect Yin Zi, Pei Wanling used his sword to dial the silver needle, and Wei Zhanmei was naturally not afraid. After dodging, he also issued a steel nail to fight back, and chased Pei Wanling.
Although Wei Putian was fat and powerful, his body was as fast as a swimming fish. In addition, he was familiar with the roads in the underground palace, the two of them were able to catch up with each other but could not catch up.
Wei Putian originally planned to pretend to retreat, and took advantage of his familiarity with ambushing, and used the hidden mechanisms and hidden weapons to plot against the two.
But she didn't expect that Pei Wanling was an expert among them. Whenever he wanted to start the engine, he would call him first, guiding Wei Zhanmei to issue steel nails to stop Wei Putian's calculations.
After a few times, Wei Putian completely gave up the idea of fighting, ran wildly, fled with all his strength, and relied on the advantage of the local government to run out of the underground palace first and left.
Wei Zhanmei and the others couldn't catch up with each other and stopped at the entrance of the cave.
After returning, the four discussed the next action.
Pei Wanling said: "I am not interested in treasures. I can help you change the mechanism ban at the entrance of the cave. Unless top experts come in person, they may not be able to open it again in the future. You can arrange people to get the treasure as soon as possible. I have other important things to do, so I cannot delay it here."
Ji Yu and Yin Zi both acted indifferently.
Wei Zhanmei thought for a while and said, "Then it's time for the female hero Pei to adjust the ban. You don't have to go home empty-handed when you enter Baoshan. Please take away some jewelry and jade jewelry that we can take away in case of emergency."
"I will go back to the ancient tomb and read the rare classics and texts recorded on the bamboo slips under my memory. It will take about an hour to leave here after we sealed the underground palace."
Fortunately, Wei Zhanmei didn't care much about gold, silver and treasures, but was thinking about the precious ancient bamboo slips that he had not finished reading.
This time he went there, he had a greater benefit.
