Longbei Ancient Village 10

  Wen Baiyu's "surprising" discovery, afterwards Wan Qi Jinghou still ran very fast, but intentionally stabilized his lower body, which was originally very stable, now it seems even more stable, must be to avoid making his legs ache...

  Wen Baiyu crouched on the back of Wan Kuangjing Hou, the grave path was very deep, and stones kept falling from above.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Lower your head as much as possible, and concentrate on breaking the stone."

  Wen Baiyu quickly lowered his head and leaned against the shoulder of Wan Jiahui, with one hand holding onto Wan's neck to prevent himself from falling off, while the other hand covered the back of his own head to avoid being hit by the falling rocks.

  Just bowing one's head is like... pouting.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a chill down her back and broke out in goosebumps.

  "It's a fork in the road!"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly pointed ahead, and to their surprise, it was the fork in the road where they had come from. Wen Baiyu immediately became excited, they were about to escape, if they waited any longer, they would probably be buried alive by the rubble.

  Just as Wen Baiyu was excited, a loud "rumble" sound was heard, and a large amount of debris and dust poured down from above, hitting Wen Baiyu so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. Wen Baiyu felt the damned weightlessness again.

  It was just an instant, Wan Qi Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu's arm and suddenly wrapped Wen Bai Yu in his arms. The tomb passage collapsed completely, and a huge pit appeared on the entire tomb passage. The two people fell down along with the pit, and the broken stones and dust from above also came crashing down.

  At the moment when the warm white feathers fell, I was still thinking that it's no wonder it would collapse, this tomb is really too shoddy.

  With a loud "boom", Wen Baiyu's leg was shocked with severe pain, and she couldn't help but let out a hissing gasp.

  However, apart from the pain in his legs, Wen Baiyu didn't feel any other pain. He opened his eyes to find that Wan Qi Jing Hou was still holding him and had jumped down from the tomb passage without falling over.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's body was covered in dust, but he didn't look disheveled at all.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou supported Wen Bai Yu and sat down, saying: "How's your leg?"

  "It's nothing."

  Wen Baiyu finished speaking, looked around the place in front of him, and it was not a stone room or a tomb passage, but rather like a thief's cave, dug very irregularly. The two sides were all earth and rock layers. The thief's cave wasn't narrow, and looking ahead, it was very deep. I don't know how long it would take to dig such a long tunnel.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou put Wen Bai on his back and said, "This might be the thief tunnel dug out by the person who was fighting earlier. Let's follow the tunnel, maybe we can get out."

  "That's great, let's hurry up and go."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou Mai took a step forward, walking for about two minutes. Wen Bai Yu gradually became somewhat fatigued. After all, they had left very late and hadn't eaten dinner, plus she was injured, the pain also consuming her energy.

  Wen Baiyu was leaning on Wang Jingshou's back and almost fell asleep. The caves were all the same, with grey earth and stone blocks everywhere.

  Just as Wen Baiyu was about to fall asleep, she glanced at the ground in the cave and suddenly let out a frightened cry.

  Wen Baiyu's drowsiness was scared away, and she immediately sat up straight, pointing at the white bones not far away, her voice trembling slightly, saying: "Bones... are they human?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou glanced at it lightly and said: "It's a human tibia."

  Wen Baiyu was even more startled, feeling that the tomb was too gloomy. He grabbed Wang Ju's shoulder and asked: "Is... is it a burial sacrifice?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "How can there be people buried with the owner in a thieves' cave?"

  Wen Baiyu thought what he said was also right, that wasn't a burial companion, what else could it be? Wen Baiyu suddenly became more and more frightened.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou walked a few more steps inside and felt the warm white feathers on his back quiver slightly, and indeed, another skeleton appeared in front of him.

  This time it was a complete skeleton, leaning against the wall of the cave and sitting down, with its limbs scattered and its head tilted.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked over, staring at the white bones, Wen Bai Yu was so scared that he shrank behind him. It's not that he's cowardly, after all, this is a grave, where big and small zombies come and go, it's eerie in itself, and there are so many corpses.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou finished watching and stood up straight, saying: "His neck is broken, it looks like he was strangled from behind."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is it possible that the grave robbers who dug the hole had an internal conflict?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and continued walking forward without stopping again.

  Before taking two steps, Wen Baiyu suddenly opened her eyes wide and said: "Look... look! It's that jade token!"

  The front of the cave was blocked by some earth, but it was not blocked very tightly, and one person could squeeze through. The top of the cave had a large opening, which seemed to have been caused by a collapse.

  On the edge of the mound, a corner of the jade tablet was buried.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked over with Wen Bai Yu on his back, bent down to pick up the jade token from the ground and handed it over to Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu took it over, and on the surface were dirt and bloodstains. He recalled how Wei Ye and the cripple had almost gone mad for this jade token just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little nauseous again.

  Two people walked forward, bypassing the collapsed earth mound. As soon as they passed by the mound, the scene before them made Wen Baiyu's stomach churn, and she immediately covered her mouth, almost vomiting if not for her strong restraint.

  Behind the mound of earth, there was a pit more than two people deep. The pit was densely packed with white bones, and the corpses were stacked in a crisscross pattern. A foul odor emanated from the pit, making one's hair stand on end.

  Wen Baiyu had never seen so many dead people before, his lips trembled slightly as he looked at the pit and said: "Look at that clothing, the attire of Longbeigou Village is easy to identify, are these people all from Longbeigou Village?"

  Wan Kuang didn't say a word, his eyes scanned the surroundings calmly, and he nodded slightly with his chin, indicating for Wen Baiyu to look ahead.

  Wen Baiyu looked up and saw that there were still two living people in the pit, apparently they had fainted, covered all over with dirt. It was Wei Ye and Xi Zong, obviously also due to the collapse.

  Wei Ye and the lame man woke up at this time, because there was no more incense, the two people woke up from their illusion, and they looked around in confusion.

  All around were only white bones and gray earth, Wei Ye and the cripple were frightened to the point of being pale-faced, their mouths constantly shouting "Ah ah ah!", frantically yelling: "Save us! Save us!!"

  Wei Ye and the cripple frantically crawled out of the pit, but Wei Ye's hand was broken, and his wrist had been bitten off by the cripple, just like that child with bloodshot eyes. The cripple had severe chest injuries, and every movement made him writhe in agony, how could he possibly climb up?

  Wei Ye looked at Wen Baiyu and shouted with his good hand: "Save me! Save my life!! Quick! Pull me up quickly!"

  He finished speaking and saw that the two hadn't moved, so Old Man Wei shouted again: "I'll give you money! Do you know who I, Old Man Wei, am? If you save me, I'll give you money!!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou walked a few steps forward and stood in front of the pit, looking down at the two people desperately crawling out of the pit, saying: "Want to come up, can."

  Wei immediately nodded and said: "Quick! Pull me up quickly! What do you want? Set conditions! Quick set conditions! I agree to everything!"

  Wan Jie Jing Hou stretched out his hand behind him, and Wen Bai Yu very tacitly placed the jade plate in Wan Jie Jing Hou's hand. Seeing Wan Jie Jing Hou pinch the jade plate and lightly shake it, he said: "I want to know about this jade plate and these corpses."

  He paused for a moment and added another sentence: "And there's also that child with the severed hand."

  Wei Ye and Cuo's faces turned paler with each word from Wan Kuang Jing Hou, until they were both trembling.

  The faces of the two changed rapidly, as if considering whether to speak out. The lame man stuttered, wanting to open his mouth, but Wei Ye stopped him, saying: "No, can't say! Absolutely can't say! Otherwise... otherwise... we're all finished... The things that year were so meticulous, now Sun Xia has died, no one else knows... Can't let it out!"

  The cripple's throat moved twice, and finally closed his mouth as well.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was in no hurry, his eyes gazing at Wei Ye and the cripple as he said, "Then you can keep company with this pile of white bones."

  He finished speaking and really turned around with Wen Baiyu on his back to leave.

  "Wait!"

  "Wait! Don't go! Save me! You... you're holding something very valuable in your hand. The replicas sold for a sky-high price back then, but this is the real deal. As soon as we get out of this tomb, I have many connections who can help you find a buyer. You'll never have to worry about food or drink again! How about it? If you save me, I'll help you find a buyer and... and we'll split it 50/50."

  "Hmm..."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly heard Wan Jingshou's cold laughter, that one cold laugh carried disdain, and paired with Wan Jingshou's good looks, it was simply the domineering president, Su couldn't help but think...

  "Wei shouted loudly: "Like this! Like this! Six of you! Good, we'll split it 7 to 3, I only want 30%!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stared coldly at Wei Ye and the cripple, saying: "I only want to know about things from twenty years ago."

  Wei Ye and the lame man suddenly heard "twenty years ago", they shuddered, both of them were pale and fell into the pit, gasping for air, as if they would faint at any moment.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly, "This ancient tomb is more than 15 meters above the ground. Such a long and wide tunnel is absolutely not something that you three can dig through. I just want to hear what you have to say, whether you speak or not is up to you."

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but silently praise Wan Jijinghou in her heart, thinking he was simply too cool.

  The cripple couldn't take it anymore and trembled as he said: "I'm begging you! I'm begging you! Please pull me up!"

  Twenty years ago, Lamei was just a street vendor selling fake goods on Antique Street. He had done business with Sun Xia several times, and Sun Xia would always sell him some genuine antiques at low prices. Lamei had figured out that something was fishy about this, but they never asked where the items came from, and Lamei only cared about making money.

  Later, Sun Xia found the lame man and asked if he was willing to fight in the arena to make a lot of money. The lame man didn't dare at first, as he had never fought before. However, after hearing about the prestige of the arena, he couldn't resist anymore.

  It is the tomb of King Xiang of Western Zhou.

  King Xiang of Western Zhou had sixty-six suspicious tombs, Sun Xia said that seven or eight out of ten of these tombs are real.

  Sun Xia also didn't know where she got a map from, which had many suspicious tombs drawn on it. Following the map, they drove all the way to a very closed and backward village.

  This village is now known as Longbei Ancient Village.

  Only villagers in the village know that Longbeigucun is not called Longbeigucun because it was built on a continuous mountain range.

  Under the village land is a dragon tomb, and the village was built on the back of the dragon. For generations, it has been blessed by the dragon tomb and worshipped as a god with the name "tomb".

  The cripple said: "We came to the village, of course we wouldn't say that we were there to cause trouble. The villagers were very hospitable and warmly welcomed us. Because this place was so backward, they had never seen anything like it before - no electricity, no cars, not even mobile phones... So we gave them our things, and the villagers were overjoyed, treating us like gods. We took advantage of the situation to say that we were there for geological exploration, that there was oil under the village, and if they could dig it up, the villagers would all live a good life. We asked the villagers to help us dig holes..."

  Wen Bai Yu furrowed his brow and said: "The villagers don't even know that you're having them dig a tomb robber's tunnel."

  The cripple shook his head and said, "These villagers don't understand anything at all, they blindly believe what we say."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou sneered again and said: "This is not just a thief's hole, this is clearly your own grave dug by the villagers themselves."

  Wen Baiyu listened to his words and gazed at the pile of white bones in front of him, her back tensed up involuntarily, and she shivered with a chill...
