Chapter 98 The Legend of Dragon Vein(1/2)

There was no torch lit at the door, and the light shone through him. Yang Rui thought he was dazzled, but he still asked in a low voice. "Who is there?"

No one responded, but the shadow that had just appeared at the stone gate was gone.

Yang Rui walked towards the door step by step. When he reached the door, he jumped over from the trapped place and stepped directly into the door on the stone steps.

He had already arrived at the door, and the fire became brighter. The passage outside was narrow and could not hide people within the range that his eyes could see.

At this moment, his attention was not concerned about the figure that might or might not be there, but he carefully searched on the inside of the stone gate. He had to find a way to open it before, but now he was looking for a way to close it. If he could not close it, it might be a troublesome thing.

Because the huge stone gate just now was trapped in the stone steps, Yang Rui also squatted down and carefully touched the stone gate that was exposed a little, as well as the stone steps inside.

In the corner on the left, he seemed to have touched a raised strange thing, so he tried to press it hard. But it was not a switch, it was like a stone, and there was no reaction at all.

Yang Rui lowered his head and put the torch closer and carefully observed the raised area. Judging from its shape, it may not be pressed, but pulled.

He pinched the bulge harder and pulled it up, but still no response.

He continued to move upwards, downwards, and left and right. Finally, while trying to rotate, the stone gate began to make a dull "click" sound.

Looking at the stone door stuck under the steps, it started to slowly rise from a little bit, turning into half a foot, one foot. Yang Rui hurriedly went out.

After coming out, he stood on the steps and watched the stone gate rise. When the stone gate was halfway up, his book was already revealed.

Such a mechanism made him feel incredible. Is there something like a scale underneath? The stone gate and the weight of this book can be opened. It is even smaller or larger?

Yang Rui had never learned the Qimen Dunjia or mechanical mechanism. He could not think through this principle. He simply didn't think about it. When the book was completely exposed, he reached out and took it down from the groove on the stone door.

The reason why he was in a hurry to take down the book before the stone gate was closed was not to see if the book could be closed without it, but to have to leave first.

Judging from the place he entered before he entered. Once the stone gate was closed, the hidden weapon under the stone steps was ready again to prevent someone from breaking in the next time. Since that is the case, if he stayed on it for a long time, he might trigger a hidden arrow when he went down the steps! So, out of caution, he took the book and retreated, and then quietly waited for the stone gate to close.

Since this book is the key to unlocking the treasure, it now plays a more important role than its previous academic value and commemorative significance. Yang Rui is more careful about it and put it in his pocket.

At this time, he had two torches in his hand. One was the lighting torch, and the other was burned out, which could only be called a wooden stick torch.

Seeing the stone door completely closed, it seemed to have been inserted into it, forming a barrier like a stone wall. Yang Rui threw the burned torch back.

With a "clang", the wooden stick did not fall to the ground or hit the wall, but made a crisp sound, and then fell to the ground.

The sound behind him did not surprise Yang Rui. He had calmly turned around with the torch. He looked at the person behind him who had not lit the torch as a weapon, ready to attack the back of his head.

"What? Want to hit me? Come on!" Yang Rui said lightly.

Appearing behind him was the figure he saw just now. At this moment, the two of them face to face, and with the light of the fire, Yang Rui had clearly seen the man, the motorcycle guy who pulled him to the foot of the mountain! ~

The motorcycle driver looked surprised at this moment. He followed Yang Rui up the mountain from afar. Because there were no other people on the mountain, he came to the place outside the valley. It was a steep slope with not many trees. He was afraid of being discovered, so he did not dare to follow too close. It was not until Yang Rui went down into the valley that he came carefully.

However, Yang Rui did not enter the underground palace, but moved the huge rocks in the pool before entering. So during this process, the motorcycle driver had already arrived above the valley, and what he saw was Yang Rui who had already dressed down and did not see Yang Rui moving the huge rocks naked. Otherwise, before he followed him in, he would have considered which one heavier or a big stone was.

Following Yang Rui, he could not light the fire or speak, so he could only walk carefully by touching the wall, and the direction was to use the slight light coming from the front. When he arrived at the stone gate, Yang Rui had already opened the stone gate and a treasure appeared. In addition to surprise Yang Rui who was entering, he was also shocked by the sight from afar.

In the end, he couldn't help but walk to the stone gate and observed Yang Rui's movements and the boxes inside from a distance, but he could only wait outside and dared not go in. When Yang Rui discovered it, he was even more surprised and hurriedly retreated back to the way he came from the passage and retreated to a turn.

He just retreated behind a detour that could not be seen from the stone gate and did not withdraw. At that time, he had already found that there was an unlit reserve torch on the wall every distance. At this time, the wooden stick also passed his weapon!

Hearing the sound of the stone gate, he had already looked carefully and kept seeing Yang Rui walk out. The stone gate begins to close. He was holding the wooden stick and was about to rush out.

When Yang Rui retreated from the steps and still looked at the stone door closing with his back, the motorcycle driver knew that this was the last chance, so he immediately rushed over with the wooden stick as lightly as possible.

The stone door rose and made a dull sound of "crack, crack" enough to cover up his footsteps. When the stone door was closed, he had calmly arrived behind Yang Rui, and had raised the wooden stick in his hand. He was about to knock down on Yang Rui's head, but found that Yang Rui threw the burned torch back. The wooden stick he raised could not dodge, and the two wooden sticks immediately hit each other, making a crisp sound.

And when he realized it, Yang Rui was already facing him. ~

"What? Don't you want to attack me? Don't you dare to do it?" Yang Rui stared at him coldly.

At this moment, a chill that shocked him could not help but flashed in Yang Rui's heart!

Because this is the seat so far. Only he himself is closest to the huge treasure, and even Bei Zhen did not come in here yesterday. And this man actually came to peek and wanted to make money and kill him. He didn't know whether out of possession of the treasure or out of anger, he actually wanted to kill this person!

This flash of thought made Yang Rui sweat secretly on his back, and he checked in his heart, why did I have such an idea? Could it be because of the temptation of the treasure?

His heartbeat accelerated.

Money is often the most test of human nature. Two friends pick up a hundred yuan together. It is OK to give it to anyone, and they may use it happily. But if two people buy a lottery together and win a million, they will often have more concerns after being happy.

Yang Rui is also a human being. In the past, he was like every ordinary person. He might be able to test him for one million. In the past two years, he has been very different from before. Not to mention one million, even one million, or even one million, is not enough to test his psychological threshold. But if the number is larger, this treasure that may be worth billions has exceeded the psychological threshold that can make him treat him calmly!

Before the treasure was opened, it had a great temptation for him, so he chose to come and test himself without hiding it. Now that he actually saw so many treasures, he even stimulated the greed side of others' human nature. This sudden appearance, following him and attempting to sneak attack people in other people was mixed with greed, which stimulated the cruel side of others' human nature.

In today's society, people's "greed" has sometimes been replaced by other better-sounding cloaks such as "aspiration", "career aspiration", and "enterprise". Cruelness often beautifies in the direction of "reason", "decisive", and "not focusing on details". In other words, this is also a change in the process of human growth, a change that will inevitably occur when ideals move towards maturity.

This growth change made Yang Rui vaguely feel complicated in his mind.

"Why are you here?" The motorcycle driver looked at the torch in Yang Rui's hand and did not take action, but still held his wooden stick tightly.

His words made Yang Rui feel a little more awake. He took a breath and calmed himself down. No matter what, he could not kill people, nor could he be killed by others.

"I should ask you this? I just took your car, why did you follow me? Didn't I give you the car money?"

The motorcycle driver’s Mandarin is not very good, with a strong local accent, but he can still express his meaning. “If I don’t follow you, you will stolen our stuff! You tomb robber!”

He scolded Yang Rui as a "tomb robber", but he was not satisfied, so he spat on the ground and cursed: "The gentle scum from the city!"

Yang Rui naturally had no mood to scold him, frowned, thinking about how to make him honest without killing someone to silence him.

That motorcycle guy is not a fool. If you meet like this, one person will definitely die, otherwise things will be even more serious. At this time, the one who takes action first will take advantage!

Seeing that Yang Rui was thinking about something, he immediately swept the wooden stick in his hand towards Yang Rui's neck.

They are now in front of the stone gate, which has a large space here and can also be used. If they are inside, the wooden stick will have no advantage, and it will be easy to tie your hands and feet.

From his move, Yang Rui could see that he was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who had not received much training. Such moves did not pose much threat to him. He just stretched out his hand, grabbed the wooden stick, and then burned the torch on the motorbike with another hand!

As for the heat and threat of fire, people are like animals. They are instinctively afraid of the ground. When the torch burns in front of them, the motorbike quickly sent the wooden stick in his hand and pushed it away a few steps.

Since it was useless to take action first, now that he has no weapons, of course it is even worse. He immediately retreated from his future.

Seeing the man running towards the way out, Yang Rui pondered for a moment and quickly followed him out. He was not afraid that the motorbike would seal the exit outside, and even knowing the method, it would be difficult to easily deal with the four big stones. But if he ran out, he told more people about the matter and even called the police, the consequences would be serious. Yang Rui held a torch in his hand. He was not afraid that he would attack in the dark. He held the torch forward and then quickly chased him out.

"ah……"

Before Yang Rui could catch up with the man, he heard a scream from the front.

Yang Rui has been in twice in the past two days, and he doesn't know what dangers are in the underground passage. Hearing the screams in front and observing the terrain, he immediately understood what was going on.

With a little alert, I continued to walk forward, and to the entrance of the two fork passages, I saw the motorcycle driver lying on the ground, his mouth and chin were covered with blood.

When he came here, he was a little confused. He didn't know which cave entrance to go, but he could vaguely feel a little light from the other cave entrance, so he followed it into the right passage. Now he exited, and knew that if he wanted to sneak attack Yang Rui, this place was the only place in the passage. So when he was fumbled and ran here, he came out of the right passage and did not continue to run towards the front exit, but groped and hid in the left passage. He was preparing to sneak attack Yang Rui.

But he didn't expect that when he just entered the passage on the left, something hit him from nowhere, and directly knocked him out of it and fell to the ground.

Yang Rui looked at the entrance on the left. He avoided it yesterday and was not caught. Unexpectedly, this guy was so weak that he followed the safe route and even came to the door to get hit.

"It's not my business. I don't know what happened to you." Yang Rui squatted down and looked at the man, then smiled, "You want to seek my money and harm my life, but I didn't expect that I would leave my life here first. Alas... It's really better than God's. I was thinking about how to not kill someone to silence me, but I didn't expect that you not only sneak attack me first, but also hit the mechanism by myself. I guess I wanted to ambush me here again, right? That's because I'm more than death. At most, I just don't save me."

After Yang Rui finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

"Hello……"

The torch was held in front. As soon as Yang Rui left, his body blocked most of the light on the ground, allowing the seriously injured motorcycle driver on the ground to fall into the shadow again from the light. He knew very well that as long as Yang Rui turned a corner, he could only see a little light. If he walked away, he would be completely trapped in the darkness.

When he came, he followed Yang Rui in front of him, and his health was still healthy, so naturally there was nothing to worry about. At worst, he could go back along the way. But now it’s different. Now he has been hit and vomited blood, and it’s hard to move, so he is naturally afraid.

The instinct of survival made him struggle and get up. He just staggered a few times, almost fell down, and quickly held the wall.

Just as he was struggling to walk forward slowly, Yang Rui suddenly quickly came back in front of him.

"What do you want to do?" The motorbike looked alert. He just watched Yang Rui leave. Out of nervousness, he wanted to keep him and take him away. Now he is really back and doubts whether he wants to kill someone to silence him.

Yang Rui thought he could not move anymore, but he didn't expect him to struggle.

"I will give you three choices. First, I will go out now, lock you up here, drink your own blood when you are thirsty, eat your own meat when you are hungry, and have extra meals if you can catch a mouse. Second, you are seriously injured now, so I might as well help you solve your pain and just hang up. This way you are comfortable and I feel at ease. Third, I can take you out, but you have to shut up forever and can't tell the matter here!"

Yang Rui still couldn't be absolutely cruel, so he gave the third choice. The guarantees of modern people are basically useless, and the risk of leakage of the third one is very high.

The motorcycle driver looked at Yang Rui, looked at Yang Rui, and said in a deep voice: "You want to kill me now and lock me up. I have no room for resistance. But it's better to die than to live. I choose the first one."

I heard it right? Yang Rui couldn't believe his ears. He clearly said, "It's better to live than to die." Why did he choose to wait for death here?

"Hey! I gave you a way out. Are you still thinking about the treasure inside? Or..." Yang Rui thought to himself that he wouldn't know another way out, right? It shouldn't be possible!

Perhaps because he had made a choice, the motorcycle driver felt relieved. He held the wall and slid down on the ground, then took out a cigarette and lit the cigarette with a little trembling hand. He took a sip and said slowly:

"I said. This is our thing, and you cannot steal it. In front of you. I have no ability to stop you now. Then let my life be here! Maybe I am dead, and my soul can protect it here."

"Shit, let's help him out first. ~

Yang Rui helped the man out of the valley, asked him to sit down and rest, and then asked him about the details.

The motorcycle driver's name is Xiang San. He has been a mountaineering man who has lived here for generations. However, now it is becoming increasingly difficult for people in the mountains to make a living, so he moved out to live in the town.

They will always live in the mountains because they have insisted on a letter to protect a tomb of the dragon vein for generations.

"Tomb of the Dragon Vein?" Yang Rui frowned. Could it be that this is still a Feng Shui treasure land?

"Well, it is said that a long time ago, there were very few residents here. A wealthy family found a dragon vein in the mountains, and then built a luxurious tomb. When the ancestral tomb was moved here, the descendants would become more and more developed. However, the wealthy family was afraid that their dragon vein tomb would be destroyed by their enemies. So they did a lot of concealment and did not let people know where it was. In addition, they also gave our ancestors a sum of money to help guard them.

Although our ancestors didn't know what to guard and did not know where the grave was, all we could do was pay attention to suspicious foreigners. Although the funding of your ancestors made our family good, it was not earned by ourselves. If you don't know how to make money, you would spend all your money. But we still passed on this secret from generation to generation, because the wealthy family left a secret code saying that one day the descendants of the wealthy family would come again. I hope that one day the descendants of the wealthy family would come and find their dragon vein ancestral tombs, and perhaps they would give certain funding because of our responsibility. To be honest, few of us believe it now. But we have adhered to the family motto for hundreds of years. Therefore, in recent years, we have seen many foreign volunteers in the area, as long as they enter the mountain, I will pay special attention to it so as not to dig any ancient tombs..."

Speaking of this, Xiang San looked at Yang Rui: "You entered the mountain yesterday. They were just ordinary climbing, but later I heard that you were in danger and didn't come back until the evening... Don't look at me like this, how big is this place? Nothing happens can spread, let alone you people from other places, you people from other places are even more noticeable. I know the drivers who took you to the night. After I knew it, they attracted attention. Today I didn't attract other guests, but I have been waiting around you people from other places."

Yang Rui secretly sweated coldly. Unexpectedly, in such a small town that looks very backward, has few people, and seems to be relatively simple, he is even more surveilled. He is too careless! The more simple the place, the easier it is to relax his vigilance.

"You also want to see the situation today. I pulled you to the foot of the mountain and asked for my phone number. But I walked for a while and came back and followed you up the mountain. I am familiar with you and there are not many people, so you have never noticed me. I have been here and I followed you in... Alas, when I saw your situation inside, I realized that what we guarded was not the dragon vein ancestral tomb, but a treasure." Xiang San sighed.
To be continued...
