I really found it funny to see this tomb robber kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, treating us like zombies.
I looked at Master Liu and Hong Qingzong, and they were very excited. After all, the tomb robber dug a hole from above, so we are now saved and will not be trapped here.
"Hey! Get up first, don't kneel on the ground. We are not zombies, we are human beings."
I cleared my throat and said to the young-looking tomb robber.
Who knows, he still didn't believe it, and kept banging his head on the ground, even harder and harder, until the skin on his forehead peeled off and a little blood appeared.
"My fellow zombies, I was blinded by greed. I shouldn't have come here. Please forgive me. As long as you let me go, I will burn paper for you and prepare your favorite live chickens and ducks..."
The tomb robber continued to mumble.
I couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so I hurried over and reached out to pull him up from the ground.
Who would have thought that as soon as my hand touched him, he quickly shrank back, shaking all over, as if he had been electrocuted.
Damn, he has the guts to rob tombs. I am so shocked.
I hurriedly said, "Brother, don't be afraid, we are human beings, we are all human beings, really, look up and see us..."
I stood beside him and talked for a long time, and he finally raised his head slightly.
His eyes lingered on my face for a long time. After a while, he glanced at Master Liu, Hong Qingzong and others one by one.
After seeing our faces clearly and recognizing that we were living people, the tomb robber felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.
His chest rose and fell, and his eyes fell on me again.
He asked me tremblingly, stammering, "You are human, but, but how did you appear in the tomb of King Zhao? This is a tomb."
At this point, the tomb robber seemed to have thought of something, and asked me in surprise, "Could it be that you are also tomb robbers?"
I curled my lips and said to the tomb robber unhappily: "You misunderstood, we are not tomb robbers, we are ghost hunters, and we came here to look for someone. Unexpectedly, we were trapped here."
"Looking for someone? Who? Living people don't live in graves. Are you here to look for the dead?"
A look of shock appeared on the tomb robber's face.
I was too lazy to explain, so I pointed at the tomb he had just come down from and asked him, "Did you dig this tomb? Did you come here to rob the tomb alone?"
After hearing what I said, the tomb robber calmed down and slowly stood up from the ground. He said, "There is another buddy of mine up there. We dug this hole together for more than ten days and only got through it today. I was thinking about the treasures in the tomb of King Zhao, so I was in a hurry to come down first."
"As for my buddy, he's still guarding up there."
So that's how it is.
I smiled slightly and said to the tomb robber, "Okay, you don't have to say anything. In this case, you can lead us up. Once we get up there, you will definitely get some benefits."
As I said that, I went to Uncle Sun, took out two big ingots from his arms, went to the tomb robber, and stuffed the big ingots into his hands.
Looking at the large ingot in his hand, the tomb robber was dumbfounded and said in surprise: "Really... it's really a gold ingot! It's really heavy. Where did you get it from?"
There was a hint of greed in his eyes.
I said unhappily, "Of course we got it from the tomb of King Zhao. However, the path to the tomb has been sealed, and we can't get out. So, we can only rely on your tunnel to get out. Don't worry, we will give you more treasures when we get outside."
The tomb robber was still a little hesitant after hearing what I said, and said, "Can't we delay for a while? Wait until I dig the path here, and then we can leave together.
Then, everything in the tomb of King Zhao will be ours."
He thought a lot.
I glared at him and said coldly, "Don't even think about it. The tomb of King Zhao is not peaceful. In addition to zombies, there are also ghosts. You are lucky to be here today. If you had dug somewhere else, you would have been torn to pieces by those zombies."
Seeing the distrust in the tomb robber's eyes, I told him everything that had happened before.
After hearing our story, the tomb robbers were so scared that their legs were shaking.
Looking at the deep well next to him and the blocked exit, the tomb robber compromised and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll take you out. But we have to make it clear in advance that you will get half of the treasure you get."
I smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, it's as you wish."
After hearing what I said, the tomb robber showed a happy expression on his face, and went to the hole he had just dug. He pulled the rope hanging down beside him.
The rope was pulled five times.
This should be a code.
But after waiting for a long time, the rope still hung there motionless.
Seeing this, the tomb robber got a little nervous and said to himself, "That's not right. We agreed that I should pull the rope five times to prove that I'm fine. My friend, you should pull me up. But why is there no movement up there?"
The tunnel was dozens of meters away from the ground, so even if someone shouted, it might not be heard outside. As for the communication equipment, it was completely unusable inside the tomb of King Zhao because it was affected by the corpse qi and even the evil spirit.
A look of panic appeared on the tomb robber's face, he didn't know what was happening outside.
I stood aside and comforted him: "Don't worry, otherwise, try again and see if there is any reaction?"
The tomb robber wiped the sweat off his neck, nodded, and went back to the hole. He held the rope and pulled it five more times.
However, there was still no movement from above. However, the rope was pulled down a little.
Just when we were all a little nervous, we didn't expect that a "gurgling" sound suddenly came from inside the tunnel, like the sound of a bowling ball rolling on a wooden board.
It was only about ten seconds, and then something fell to the ground with a "pop".
It was a stone with a rope tied to it.
The rope was the other end of the rope that the tomb robber used to descend into the tomb.
When he saw the stone and the knot at the end, the young tomb robber collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.
His expression was a little dull and his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was stupid.
I stood aside and looked at Master Liu, and I also felt that the situation was not good.
Doesn’t this guy have an accomplice? How come the rope for going down to the tomb has fallen down
Without the rope, how the hell are we going to get out of King Zhao’s tomb
Xiao Li walked up to the boy and handed him half a bottle of water.
But the boy didn't answer at all. He just sat there blankly with red eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Hey, little brat, why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"
Uncle Sun was unhappy because I had just stuffed the gold ingots into the tomb robber's pocket, so he yelled at the tomb robber a few times.
The tomb robber didn't answer and just sat there stupidly.
At this time, Master Liu went to the stone, turned it over slightly, and actually found a small note under the stone.
The small piece of paper was torn when the stone fell, but the words on it could still be seen clearly.
"Huh? There's a note?"
Hong Qingzong made a sound in surprise.
Afterwards, a few of us gathered around Master Liu, wanting to see what was written on the note.
After reading the contents of the note, I was stunned and my face darkened.
I said, look
The tomb robber's companion has left.
The note read: Jiang Xiaoyang, just die in this tomb of King Zhao. Caifeng is mine and I will take good care of her.
Jiang Xiaoyang was obviously the name of the tomb robber. Who that "Cai Feng" was, I had no idea.
Earlier, we were very excited when we saw the tomb robber going down into the tomb, thinking we were saved. But now, damn, all our hopes are gone, it feels like we were just rescued from the river and then dragged down again.
I also felt unhappy.
While we were reading the note, the tomb robber Jiang Xiaoyang had stood up from the ground at some point.
With a loud shout, he actually rushed towards us with red eyes.
"All of you get up, all of you get up... That's mine, it's mine..."
Jiang Xiaoyang rushed to Master Liu, snatched the note from Master Liu's hand, and pushed Master Liu to make him stagger.
When I saw this scene, I quickly took action, circulated the Yin De energy in my right hand, and slapped Jiang Xiaoyang hard on the back.
Jiang Xiaoyang was hit by my shot and was thrown out directly. Then, he couldn't stand firmly and fell directly to the ground.
He lay on the ground, holding the note in both hands and began to read it.
As he watched, tears welled up in his eyes and he was muttering something.
"Why, why... Why, my friend, why are you trying to hurt me?! I treat you as a brother, and you said you wouldn't snatch Caifeng from me..."
As if he was mentally stimulated, the tomb robber lay on the ground and howled, mumbling in a sob voice, his face and body covered with dust.
From his mumblings, I got the general idea.
This tomb robber named Jiang Xiaoyang was obviously deceived by his own brother. His brother tricked him into robbing the tomb not for the things in the tomb of King Zhao, but to kill Jiang Xiaoyang.
The purpose of killing Jiang Xiaoyang was to get the girl named Caifeng.
After learning about this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that beautiful women are really the root of trouble.
At the same time, I also feel some sympathy for Jiang Xiaoyang.
Hong Qingzong looked at Jiang Xiaoyang with disdain and said coldly, "He really has no manliness at all. He cried so hard for a girl. I really don't know what he was thinking. It would be fine if it was outside, but now we are trapped here, and he is not worried at all."
Xiaoli is a girl after all, and she is very soft-hearted, so after getting my consent, she went to Jiang Xiaoyang and comforted him.
But Jiang Xiaoyang seemed to be in a trance, crying non-stop. Otherwise, he would just keep mumbling to himself. He also called out "Cai Feng, Cai Feng" with deep affection.
Even at the end, Jiang Xiaoyang was still holding the note and giggling. His laughter was very creepy. After laughing for a while, he started crying again, and then laughed again.
As time passed, we became a little uneasy.
In addition, the crying of the tomb robber Jiang Xiaoyang made us, who were sitting on the side, frown and look very ugly.
Xiaoli also came back, hugged her knees with her hands, and sat next to me.
"Damn it, stop crying! You're crying so hard, I thought someone was dead..."
Hong Qingzong cursed angrily.
But it didn't work at all. Jiang Xiaoyang was either laughing or crying and couldn't stop.
Finally, Master Liu took action and tapped his body a few times to seal his mute point, which finally stopped his noisy voice.
Damn, the appearance of Jiang Xiaoyang and that note were like an ironic joke, and became a small episode while we were trapped in the tomb of King Zhao.
