The two legends from the Shanxi barbarians and the Han people have the same time and the same specialties. Even the motivation of the Han Lord to hunt down the monkeys is right. Regardless of Han people or barbarians, tomb robbing is an extremely evil crime.
Things, if the people knew that their emperor relied on robbing graves to expand military expenditures, it would be a serious matter. But after the world was firmly established, there were no more wars, and expenses were greatly reduced. There was no need for dead people’s money to maintain expenses. His subordinates
The ghost soldiers were naturally useless.
Maybe Hong Taizu was also worried that if he left this tribe of local monkeys behind, they might dig their own graves a hundred years later...
Gu Zhaojun was also short of money. His situation was even more embarrassing than Song Yang's. Now that he knew such a way to get money, how could he not be excited? The old fox's eyes were so bright that he nodded to Song Yang and said:
"Well done! I'd better call Luo Guan when I go with you. Besides, I also have to talk to Mrs. Bo."
Luo Guan is the great master, and with him he can protect everyone. Needless to say, this is important. But what is the use of finding Madam Silk? Song Yang is a little confused. Gu Zhaobi explained: "The story about the earth monkey, the last one
Duan, I don’t know if you have noticed: an elite Han army entered the ground, but never came out... It must be extraordinary to be regarded as an elite force by Shanxi barbarians. How many people did the Monkeys have at that time? Several hundred people.
This is incredible, even if the local monkeys have the advantage of the land, how can they destroy Hong Taizu's elite soldiers with just such a small number of people?"
Having said this, Gu Zhaojun clicked his lips, and the servant girl on the side understood and was about to serve tea. Unexpectedly, the little catcher became interested when he heard it, and became very anxious. He picked up his tea cup and said: "My cup of water has not been touched.
, Here you go." He said, bringing the tea and going to feed the old man.
Gu Zhaojun was startled. He didn't dare to drink the water anyway. He quickly shook his head and thanked him, and continued to say: "If you ask me to guess, there must be some powerful mechanism in the earth monkey's nest, so that he was tricked.
They formed an elite army. Originally, the savages were not enlightened and could not set any decent traps, but don’t forget, the earth monkeys are different. They came out to help the ancestors of the Hong Emperor. For a hundred or two hundred years, they penetrated underground and visited various ancient tombs.
Deal."
"What kind of place is an ancient tomb? Especially the tombs of emperors and princes, the traps are incredible. The monkey has a lot of opportunities to learn the methods and principles of these traps. So I have to talk to Mrs. Bo first.
I, Shadow Tuo, can steal everything, and I am also an expert in tomb robbing. I wonder if I have told Madam Bo about the following things. If she can understand something, it is best to take her with me on this trip, maybe she can help."
In the early morning two days later, an eight-man team set off from Yanziping. Song Yang, Xiao Zai, Luo Guan,
Gu Zhaojun, Nan Rong, Madam Bo and her two men.
Chenglin made an excuse, saying that Mu En had thought of a way to solve the problem of "Nine Colors Don't Touch". He had to go to Shanxi Man's lair. Chenglin was smart but he was not a god after all, and he was already very busy.
, failed to see through Song Yang's little lie, but only told him to take good care of Xiao Fu. Song Yang was confident in taking care of the little catcher. Even if there was any danger in the ground, he and Luo Guan could protect the catcher and escape.
There is no problem, not to mention that Gu Zhaojun and Madam Bo are not as capable as Song Yang. This kind of formation is enough to establish a sect in the world.
As for Mrs. Silk, she simply grew up listening to her father's "Autobiography of a Thief", which included countless stories involving the "underground", and she knew a lot about the mechanism design of the ancient tomb. And the two men she brought with her,
It turns out that he was in the underworld and had "went to the ground" many times. He was somewhat famous in this industry. Because he admired his predecessor Shadow Tuo, he later joined Mrs. Bo.
The two subordinates are both in their thirties. One was born in the suburbs of Yanjing. He has a slender figure and handsome appearance. He speaks Jingkou movies, loves to talk and laugh, and has a lively personality. Their surname is Qi.
The people from the mountainous area in the northwest of the Yan Kingdom are dark, short, and dull in appearance, as dull as a stone. Their family name is "Ba" and they were born in midsummer. People in remote areas are not particular about it, so they name them after the season.
The young catcher blinked and said with a smile: "Qi Shang, Bashar? You two are really good brothers." Qi Shang said with a smile: "What you are saying is quite right. I used to do business alone, and every day
When I went to the field for the first time, I always felt uneasy and uneasy: until I met Pasha later, guess what? Hey, Qishang Pasha and two of them worked together, and I was really uneasy, and I was worried from the bottom of my heart.
So down-to-earth.”
Bashar had no reaction to this, did not raise his head, and steadily followed Mrs. Bo out of the town. The number of people in the team was very small, and it seemed extremely thin. However, once they entered the mountains and met Mu En, they immediately became
With a large team of people, Mu En brought all the three hundred mountain and stream shows and accompanied him all the way. Xiao Zhan felt that it was a bit too "grand," and said to Song Yang: "You don't need to bring so many people to escort you, right?" Song Yang shook his head: "It's not in the mountains.
There is a temple, and there is a golden Bodhisattva in the temple. We can just go there and move it. The monkeys have not been seen for so many years, and their previous nests have either collapsed or been buried..."
As long as someone speaks, Qi Shang will follow and chime in with a smile from the side: "Maybe it collapsed and was buried. If you really want to do this job, I think three hundred people are too few. Besides, you need people to move the gold out of the mountain.
No." Xiao Zhan laughed loudly: "That last sentence is a good one." Walking through the mountains of Nanli, there are only two most troublesome things. One is the raging snakes and scorpions and the nuisance of poisonous insects. But with Song Yang here, early
They all distributed deworming medicine to their companions: the other was that the dense forest blocked the sky and it was difficult to see the direction, and at the same time, the poisonous mire and swamp under the feet was hidden, and you would fall into it if you were not careful. Mu En and Shan Xixiu were accompanying them, and there were barbarians there.
By clearing the way through thorns, the hazards are almost negligible.
The whole journey was uneventful. When passing through the camp of Shanxi Man, Mu En even asked the team to pause. He went back alone to visit the seniors in the tribe and confirmed the direction of the monkey's lair. After ten days of trekking, Mu En took the
Everyone came to the edge of a cliff and stretched their hands toward the bottom of the cliff: "That's it."
From a bird's-eye view, nothing could be seen but the continuous forest. Mu En gave an order, and three hundred mountain streams climbed down at a very fast pace. The cliff was not too high, more than ten feet, no matter it was up or down.
Unable to stop everyone, Song Yang and others also unfolded their bodies and reached the foot of the cliff without any effort. The seven-hundred-year-old jungle has grown enough to erase all traces. Even if they stand here, they know that this is where the two races originally lived together.
Wherever he lives, no one can see anything.
Everyone turned their attention to Mu En, hoping that she could point out the direction of the entrance to the Monkey Land, but the latter shook his head impatiently: "I'm not a monster who has lived for seven hundred years, how can I know where the specific entrance is?
Where to find it!" He said, shouting at his subordinates in barbarian language, and the three hundred mountain stream barbarians immediately became busy, sometimes climbing up to look into the distance, and sometimes digging in the soil to look for traces left by ancient times.
This forest is really vast, and three hundred people dispersed into it and soon disappeared without a trace. This method of searching would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and even after a year of busy work, they may not be able to find the entrance.
It was of no use to search blindly like this. Song Yang, Lao Gu and others went to find Mrs. Silk and discussed with "Wangfu": "What if we dig a hole directly downward? Anyway, we have determined that the location of the Earth Monkey is
Down below, you don’t have to find the entrance, just dig a hole and drill down.” Qi Shang was the one who responded and shook his head after hearing the words: “It’s true that Tujizi pierced the edges down here before, but it’s impossible for the entire area below to be covered.
They hollowed it out, otherwise there would have to be a big hole in the top. Now this is not a forest but a large lake or swamp."
Song Yang didn't understand what he heard. Qi Shang loved to talk and wished he could explain a few more words: "On the way here, we two brothers discussed it. In those days, the two races lived together, and the Shanxi Man lived well above it. This means that the ground
Strong enough: so there won’t be a huge underground palace underground. Let alone the underground palace, it probably doesn’t even have large rooms. At most, it’s just some narrow tunnels and underground roads. We can’t find the location of the tunnels from above, so digging holes is useless.
As the hole was dug, how could it happen that it happened to land at the head of the tunnel? It was not impossible to dig blankly, but that would be a stroke of luck. If you really wanted to do that, it would be easier to lead the coolies in and clear out the entire piece of land.
"It's one thing to dig holes and build roads, but it's another thing to build a strong and huge underground palace. Which emperor's tomb with a huge underground palace didn't take a long time, and the huge project of driving tens of millions of people relied on a team of thousands of years ago.
The savage tribe would never have such ability.
Gu Zhaojun frowned: "There are only some passages down there? Not even houses? Where does the earth monkey live?" "No matter what kind of god he is, he can't stay underground for a lifetime. The earth monkey may like the coolness underground, but hey
If you can't go down and don't come out, you're not just waiting to get rheumatism." As he spoke, Qi Shang raised his head and glanced at Mu En, confirming that the old woman was far away, then he lowered his voice and continued: "Those local monkeys are not ordinary.
They are cunning, Shanxi Man has a real heart, and he fell into their trap, so he was simply used as a guard dog and a shield by the local monkeys."
Gu Zhaojun made it clear: "You mean, the real nest of the earth monkey is not here?"
Qi Shang nodded repeatedly: "Master Gu is wise, as I said just now, the ground here is solid, otherwise it would be impossible to set up camp here seven hundred years ago: such a dense forest will not grow after seven hundred years. It's really not me.
I looked down on those local monkeys. At least at that time, with their skills, they could never dig out anything that could bear the large portion. The hunter was shocked: "Where is the real nose?" After saying that, I felt that no one could know this question, and then
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then this trip was not in vain?" Bagu finally said: "It is not in vain."
After saying these four words, he closed his mouth again and said with a smile, Qi Shang said with a smile: "It's not difficult to imagine, there is no large underground palace below, but the ancestors of Shanxi Barbarians also said seven hundred years ago that this is
According to my estimation, the old lair of the Monkeys before they came out of the mountains. The ancestors of the barbarians only saw some entrances to the tunnels. When they moved here, the Monkeys had been out of the mountains for more than a hundred years, and the tunnels had long since collapsed. The mountain stream barbarians naturally couldn't do it.
Go dig down and take a look, it’s not surprising if you don’t know what’s going on down there.”
"But after the native monkey came back, he got the forgiveness of the mountain and stream people, and dug the underground road. Hundreds of people went down one after another..., where did they go? Where can they go?" [Answer]
It was so obvious that even the little catcher understood it and nodded: "This is not the real nest of the earth monkeys, but there is a tunnel below that leads to their nest? As long as we can find out the tunnel back then, we can still find it.
The home of the local monkeys.”
Qi Shang smiled, showing a row of neat teeth: "So the earth monkeys are bastards. The barbarian ancestors only have the entrance and exit of their nest under their noses. The earth monkeys like to dig holes. There can't be only one entrance to the nest. This place is occupied.
Well, they can look for other passages... Even if this is the only entrance, with the number of more than a thousand native monkeys, it won't be difficult to change places and create a new passage to return to their former home."
There is indeed more than one secret path leading to the former residence of Tu Monkey, but how can the other roads compare to this one? Stationed at the entrance is a battalion of Shanxi barbarians who hate the Han people. They are simply the last Tu Monkey given to them by Grandpa the Mountain God.
Monkey guard.
The Earth Monkey has been in the human world for more than a hundred years, and he has indeed learned a lot. At least he has learned a "bitter meat trick". Shanxi Barbarian has such a temper. If the Earth Monkey came to beg directly, he would be willing to be a slave to this guy and suffer the consequences.
Shanxi Barbarian ignored the backlash against the mountain barbarians and sent them away directly. However, after a battle, Shanxi Barbarian felt that the earth monkeys still had some of the blood of the mountain people and were easier to talk to.
Tuhou abandoned half of his tribe and replaced Shanxi Man as their gatekeeper for more than ten years. Fortunately, "Twelve Corpses. Wise,
They didn't want to be as stubborn as ordinary barbarians and led their tribe to move away from here. If it had been a few years later and they had faced Hong Taizu's elite force, no one could say what would have happened.
Song Yang and his group were all here to move gold. They were not very interested in things that happened seven hundred years ago. They just wanted to understand the context. Song Yang turned to the topic: "Is there any way to find the ancient tunnels below?"
"On the way here, we brothers have been thinking about this matter. We discussed it a lot and pondered it for several days. In the end, my brother remembered the time when he was a kid fishing for fish in the ditch..." Qi Shang was wordy.
Jin didn't want to be Mrs. Bo's confidant, but more like Mr. Bo's personal disciple. Mrs. Bo reprimanded: "If you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it. Just say it!"
"There is a way, but it's not easy to guarantee, and it's not easy at all. It's a lot of work." Qi Shang knew that the landlady was hard-hearted and had a soft heart, so he smiled and didn't care at all: "The first thing to do is this.
The forest is so dense that the tree crowns must be covered, or at least the branches and leaves must be opened to expose the sky. Then there is the construction of a dam, not a dam. I won’t tell you more about the details. Please give us two.
Hundreds of people will come to do this work, which can take as little as ten days or as long as half a month. We guarantee that it will be done for you.
The last thing is to wait...wait for a heavy rainstorm!"
Bashar added: "Also, it's best not to rain heavily when working."
Song Yang didn't ask any questions. He went to Mu En and asked her to allocate manpower. Three hundred mountain and stream soldiers were divided into two groups. Two hundred people climbed up the tree to remove the branches and leaves. The other hundred people followed the "seven up and eight down" work on the ground.
Rather than "building a dam", it is better to say that it is "raising purlins" on the ground, piling up short earth slopes of more than a foot high on the dense forest floor. These purlins were built horizontally, vertically, and criss-crossed, forming a huge forest.
The ground is divided into square patches of half an acre. If you can pull out the big trees and take a bird's-eye view from a high place, the ancient camp of Shanxi Barbarians will seem to have turned into a huge Go board.
Qi Shang was always talkative, but he was meticulous when working and had extremely strict requirements for beautiful mountains and streams. The "earth purlins" made by him were very strong, not to mention Bashar, Song Yang, 1 [
,
The police officers and others were too embarrassed to just watch, so everyone rolled up their sleeves and started working together.
After setting up the purlin, the two brothers were still busy, so they tried to cover it with leaves cut from the trees to prevent it from being washed away when it rained. At this time, Song Yang could also roughly see some clues.
The camp is divided into numerous shallow "reservoirs". Where there are tunnels underground, the soil will always be looser, and water will leak out faster. When it rains heavily, observe carefully to find those areas where the water seeps the most.
If you dig the grid quickly and dig deeper, you can hopefully find the ancient ground path.
It is indeed a stupid method, but at least there is some "basis" that is more reliable than searching aimlessly and is less troublesome than digging up the entire ground.
Nanli is already rainy. It rained a few times in the past ten days, but the rain was not heavy and did not have much impact on their project. At the beginning, they were afraid of heavy rain, but after ten days, "The chessboard is finished, everyone."
I hope it will rain soon.
After another three days, the heavy rain clouds gradually began to gather in the sky, and the air became obviously stuffy. If nothing else happened, a heavy rain would fall soon. When the dark clouds covered the sky, I felt nervous and had nothing to say.
However, Qi Shang was still afraid that his method would be ineffective and would arouse the blame of the nobles. Qi Shang went to Song Yang and others and said: "Master Hou, we will try our best to handle this matter for you, but you must have something in your heart."
The underground tunnels cannot be too wide, and after being there for more than seven hundred years, they may have collapsed to a solid state. This method of seeping water may not be that easy to use."
Before he could finish speaking, Shu Yang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm only here to record your merits."
Qi Shangyu was happy, but what he wanted to say was not finished yet: "Furthermore, even if we can find the earth monkey's road, it may be the wrong road they dug out the mihuo enemy in the first place: just in case God guarantees that we will find the real road, don't count on it.
I can run down in one breath without any obstruction, but most of the time I still have to dig and walk, and it won’t be possible in a short while..."
At this time, even his good partner Bashar thought he was talking too much. He frowned and interrupted: "Are you annoying?!"
Qi Shang said "Hey," without any intention of shutting up. He turned around and said pretentiously to Basha: "Is it bothering you? You can't speak three sentences a year. My brother has to speak for two people by himself. He's just busy talking for you."
,you still……"
In the middle of speaking, a flash of lightning suddenly shattered the sky, thunder rolled in, and heavy rain came roaring!
Qi Shang immediately closed his mouth, with both nervousness and excitement in his eyes. Along with everyone else, he stared at the ground, but after a moment, he was surprised.
The soil was strong, the rainstorm was fierce, and the forest canopy was cut into mottled spots... A large checkerboard grid, most of which were visible to the naked eye, was quickly filled with rainwater, but some "grids" seeped water surprisingly quickly, and the rain fell at the same time.
If it leaks, it won't be able to hold water at all.
If only one or two grids are like this, it may be because the earthen purlins are loosely built, but all the grids with "quick nose water" are numerous and adjacent to each other, one after another. Song Yang looked around and saw the situation in front of him at this moment.
It is quite spectacular. The surrounding chessboard is full of water and silver. Where there is no water, the black ground is luolu. They are connected together, like a huge black dragon. It is more like gods and Buddhas using their magic to split the water to reveal the path.
, winding all the way toward the deep mountains.
They all gasped in unison: "This..., isn't this too smooth?"
The method of seeping water works well, but Qi Shang's previous judgment was almost completely wrong. Now it can be seen from the ground that there is clearly a broad road below!@.
