While Yan Ruoshui was busy leading his troops to suppress two hundred killers in a mountain valley, the situation over there with Guo Nuan and Cui Ying was not optimistic.

It was the ninth day. I didn’t expect that the two of them could last so long in the mountains. But what Guo Nuan was most worried about happened. Early that morning, Guo Nuan discovered several piles of extinguished firewood in a forest.

Bonfire Pit, 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 of them were somewhat unlucky. When they were climbing over a mountain ridge, they were discovered by seven or eight killers two hills behind. The two parties stared blankly at each other for more than ten seconds from the hills two or three miles away. It felt really strange.

Soon, the two sides froze, and no one expected that they would suddenly meet each other, and then a new round of chasing and killing games began again.

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

Guo Nuan was leading a woman, but he couldn't run very fast, so he tried to hide in the grass in the ravine. However, as he walked down the mountain, the vegetation below was thick, and there were many deep ravines hidden there. There might be cliffs hundreds of meters high below.

If you are not careful, it will fall and your body will be absolutely shattered.

After running for more than an hour, a group of black-clad killers behind her never looked away. Cui Ying first lost her strength and bent over, holding her stomach and gasping for air.

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

"I'll carry you." Guo Nuan couldn't help but said, directly carried Cui Ying on his back and continued to move forward. If you stay at the same place for a while, the danger will be closer. The killer is following closely behind you. If you chase

Coming up, with a fighting strength of seven to one, they were at a disadvantage. The two of them were definitely going to die, and they became desperate mandarin ducks.

The day before yesterday, there was a heavy rain in the mountainous area. Since there was no cave to hide from the rain, Cui Ying developed a fever after being soaked in the rain for a day, and her condition has not been good.

After walking for another half an hour, the killer who was originally two hills away had already moved closer to one hill. Guo Nuan was secretly worried. When he got down the mountain, he spotted a locust tree forest, and Guo Nuan rushed forward panting while carrying Cui Ying on his back.

Go in, no matter what, Guo Nuan was so energetic, as if he had taken an expired drug, he was working very hard and running very fast. He still didn't believe that he couldn't outrun these killers with a woman on his back.

The forest was very deep and felt a bit spooky. The dense leaves above the head blocked most of the sunlight and cast mottled tree shadows. Guo Nuan didn't care much. In order to get rid of the killer who was approaching every step of the way, he led Cui Ying around.

Turning around, he couldn't figure out the east, west, north, and south at all. The sun blocked him and he couldn't find it for a while.

Passing through a circle of cypress trees, the view suddenly became clearer. Guo and Nuan came to a tomb garden. Dozens of large and small stone lions and stone figurines were scattered in the surrounding weeds. However, they were old and staggered. They were not

The arms are missing, the nose is broken, the stone head is also missing, and there are still many ivy branches hanging on the stone statue.

A mottled black granite wall collapsed. Guo Nuan ignored the sudden appearance of the tomb 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 open. However, it was dark inside from the outside. Only a few stone steps leading down outside the door could be seen clearly. Water had seeped through the years, and the door cavity was sunken.

A corner of the stone gate is left tilted.

"Quack--" A few crows were chirping strangely from time to time on the lush green ancient trees, which looked very eerie in the secluded tomb forest.

"Idiot, there's something weird 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 catching up. If we keep going forward, we will eventually be overtaken. 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.

A calamity." Guo Nuan pulled Cui Ying up, gritted his teeth, and then rushed through the tomb door.

In the dark corridor, Guo Nuan used the charcoal sparks kept in the bamboo tube to ignite the small pine tree sticks in his pocket. These were collected the day before yesterday and left over for traveling at night. There were twenty sticks in total, ten of which contained grease.

The sticks can burn for half an hour.

Walking into the long and narrow corridor, there are many murals on the stone walls on both sides, mostly of palace ladies, and there are war scenes of fighting on the battlefield. However, it is a pity that due to the age, the rainwater on the ground seeped down and penetrated into the stone walls.

, most of the murals have been blurred. Guo Nuan estimated that this tomb should belong to a prince and nobleman in the Qin Dynasty. This was not the time to appreciate these things, Guo Nuan thought about finding a safe corner.

"Well, there is a pile of extinguished firewood here." Guo Nuan held up the burning stick to open a path in the dark front. Unexpectedly, he stepped on a pile of firewood under his feet.

"Has anyone been here?" Cui Ying hid behind Guo Nuan and clung to him. For a girl, entering the tomb was indeed a bit timid.

Guo Nuan squatted down and picked up a relatively thick piece of charcoal and broke off two sections. The core of the charcoal was dry. It seemed that it did not burn for a long time. Otherwise, the leaking corridor would be full of water vapor and the charcoal would have been left in the corridor for a long time.

It must have absorbed the moisture and become wet. "It's possible that grave robbers have been here recently." Guo Nuan immediately concluded.

The two walked forward for several hundred steps. After the corridor turned a corner, a hole as wide as a person's waist was opened vertically above the stone wall, and a weak beam of sunlight shone down.

"Well, it's true. There is a big roof on the cave wall. A native master has been here!" Cui Ying pointed at the robbery cave and said.

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

There were several muddy footprints left on the ground. There were two types of footprints of similar size. Guo Nuan, who was careful, could see the difference in length. There were a few drops of rosin oil on the ground, which seemed to have been left by tomb robbers when they used lighting.

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

"What does one piece have to do with half a piece?" Cui Ying was immediately confused and felt that Guo Nuan was making a fuss about this detail.

"It was broken with a sharp weapon, such as an axe, a machete, etc."

The hemp rope is very thick, as thick as Guo Nuan's thumb, and the cut is very smooth and smooth, with no wool stubble at all. You can tell at a glance that it was cut quickly and vigorously with a heavy knife.

"The length of the rope is only more than half of the entrance to the robbery hole above. There are broken porcelain in the air and drops of blood on the ground."

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

"I estimate that two tomb robbers came to the vicinity of this tomb about five days ago. Maybe what happened was like this. After the two thieves stole the funerary objects, they were about to climb out of the hole. The first thief used a rope tied to the ground.

After climbing up the hemp rope to the entrance of the cave, let the thieves below follow him

The funeral objects were handed over, and just as the second thief climbed into the air along the rope, the person above cut the rope and ran away with the burial objects, and the unexpected hapless guy fell from the air with the porcelain in his arms.

The copper object 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 tomb door outside would be opened. Now she figured it out. Maybe it was because the remaining tomb robber saw that his companion betrayed him and ran away.

He had no choice but to follow the corridor to the tomb door, pry open the stone door bolt from the inner door, and escape.

"Let's go. I guess the secret passages in the tomb have been completely destroyed by the two guys who robbed the tomb in the first place. There shouldn't be any danger for us to go in."

Guo Nuan immediately stopped where he was and called Cui Ying to continue walking. The further they walked, the more items they found left in the corridor.

Iron chisels, small steel knives and iron saws were all thrown away randomly. There were also some large items on the ground, earthen jars, stone carvings, exquisite inscriptions, various brocades, damasks, Luo, silk and gauze scattered all over the ground.

Hundreds of years, Yan

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, and there was no way to take away these many things.
