"This is an underground palace!"

Ku Junwei raised his flashlight and looked around and said.

"Underground Palace?" I was stunned: "Wait! Do you mean... is this an ancient tomb?"

As the name suggests, the palace below the ground, so the underground palace generally refers to ancient tombs.

Ku Junwei nodded: "At this moment, we should be inside the ancient tomb!"

Inside the tomb?!

I looked up at the entrance of the cave above: "Is this a secret passage leading to the underground palace? It is really hidden!"

Ku Junwei shook his head: "This is not a secret passage! How could the tomb gate of the underground palace be above his head? And the underground palace is so magnificent, how could its entrance be so dilapidated?"

"The underground cave above is not the entrance to the underground palace?" I asked in surprise.

"Of course not!" Ku Junwei replied: "If I was not mistaken, the hole above is probably a thief!"

A hole stolen?!

I was slightly surprised. Although I had never seen a thief before, I also heard about the thief.

On this land in western Hunan, mountains are everywhere, crisscrossing. In Feng Shui, mountains refer to dragon veins. Where there are dragon veins, there must be many ancient tombs hidden. Think about it, the ancient tombs left by various dynasties cannot be counted.

Because of this, a large number of tomb robbers were attracted to Xiangxi tomb robbers and made money. When they were in trouble, many bandits joined the ranks of tomb robbers, digging out ancient tombs and sweeping away a large number of gold and silver treasures to fill their troops.

Until now, tomb robbers have been coming, so the people in western Hunan are not unfamiliar with tomb robbers. These tomb robbers have given themselves a nice name, called "Tushizi".

What is a thief?

To put it simply, the cave dug to enter the ancient tomb when tomb robbers.

Because the ancient tombs are hidden under the ground, it is easy to find the ancient tomb, and it is difficult to find the entrance to the ancient tomb. Moreover, few tomb robbers will sway in through the gate of the ancient tomb. Some noble tombs have poisonous arrows, broken dragon stones, death pedals and other mechanisms placed in the main entrance. Entering through the main entrance is undoubtedly a risk. Therefore, most tomb robbers will choose to break holes to enter the ancient tomb.

The thieves usually open above the ancient tomb. Once the cave is penetrated, you can directly enter the tomb from the thieves and successfully avoid the various mechanisms and hidden weapons at the entrance of the tomb. Just like we are now, you can directly reach the interior of the underground palace without much trouble.

Those tomb robbers are also quite interesting. The holes they dug are not called robbers, but are called "Tufuzi Cave".

No wonder the cave is rugged and uneven, just like a rush to dig out. It turns out to be a Tushizi Cave!

"It seems that this place has been visited by tomb robbers!" When talking about to tomb robbers, I still feel indignant from the bottom of my heart. Death is the most important thing, and after death, I will be dug up the grave and tidle the body. Sooner or later, I will be punished for doing such an immoral thing.

I have heard people say that nine out of ten tomb robbers are disabled.

What does this sentence mean? Tomb robbers will be punished because they do unethical things. It is very normal to break their hands and feet, which is considered to be rewarded. If they do not suffer from disability, it is not that you are lucky, but that you are already dead! Therefore, the final outcome of the tomb robbers is very desolate. One is that they will die without a burial place, and the other is that they will suffer from disability for life.

Ku Junwei shook his head, raised his flashlight and shone it under his feet: "Not necessarily! Maybe this group of tomb robbers will have no chance to go out!"

Speaking of this, Ku Junwei stopped and looked at the ground along the white light shot from the flashlight. He couldn't help but tremble slightly. He saw several corpses lying on the ground! To be precise, it was not corpses, but white bones and bare skeleton racks, which seemed to be a long time ago. Several skeletons were still surrounded by broken bags, containing some of the tools they used back then.

We all know that it takes at least several decades for a corpse to go from rotting to turning into bones.

Furthermore, this thief hole is under the wall, which means that the thief hole existed before the construction of the battlefield hospital.

According to this inference, this group of Tushizi who died in the underground palace was also the last of the Republic of China.

I squatted down and flipped through two bags casually. A rusty compass, hemp ropes, and a dark thing that was about the size of a palm, holding it coldly in my hand.

I weighed it and said strangely: "What is this?"

Ku Junwei glanced at it: "Black Donkey's Hoof!"

"Black Donkey's Hoof?!" I was slightly stunned and picked it up and looked at it carefully for a long time: "I heard that this thing can deal with evil things like zombies, is it true?"

"It should be effective!" Ku Junwei said.

"What does it mean to be effective?" I curled my lips.

Ku Junwei rolled his eyes: "I haven't used it before, so you can bring it with you! Even if you don't need it, go back and make soup and drink it, it can still nourish your body!"

"I'll carry it for you and I'll make soup for you when I go back!" I put the black donkey's hooves on my body, then put the hemp rope on it, and these things might come in handy.

"It seems that more than a group of people have come in here!" Ku Junwei said in a deep voice, turning on another backpack, and a wooden token fell out of the bag. Because of the age of time, the wooden token was a little black, and the handwriting on it was blurred. Three words could be recognized, as if they were called "Aokido".

I held my chin, Aokido? This name is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere?

"These are people from the Tiandihui!" Ku Junwei pointed to several other white bone skeletons and said.

The World Meeting?!

Damn, why do I say the three words "Qingmutang" are so familiar? It turns out to be a hall of the Tiandihui. In "The Deer and the Cauldron", isn't Wei Xiaobao the leader of Qingmutang?

The Heaven and Earth Society was one of the secret organizations of the Qing Dynasty. It advocated anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty. The head of the helm Chen Jinnan was also a famous legend in the world.

"I didn't expect that the people from the Tiandihui would come to rob the tombs?" I said in surprise.

"It's normal! Any organization or group needs a lot of financial support. In the case of shortage of funds, robbing tombs is a convenient channel to quickly accumulate funds!" Speaking of this, Ku Junwei stood up and threw the wooden token to me: "Next, keep it for a souvenir! This is the token of the hall master, and it can be worth a lot of money if you take it out!"

"I'm not Lei Zi..."

I put the Aoki token into my pocket, and my voice suddenly became even more swallowed. This casual sentence reminded me of Lei Zi again, and my heart felt sad.

What a smart person, Ku Junwei saw my thoughts at a glance, and immediately said, "Don't be sad, cheer up, maybe Lei Zi is waiting for us not far away!"

I let out a long sigh, suppressed my inner grief, and said in a stern voice: "I hope this is the case!"

"By the way, how did those guys on the ground die?" I suddenly remembered a question, and I didn't seem to see any scars on them.

Ku Junwei said: "I can't answer you this question because I discovered just now that there are no scars on their bodies. This is indeed a strange thing! Are you sleeping here to death? It's impossible. They have all kinds of equipment, and they can go out as they come in! If they are not sleeping, then how did they die?"

I nodded, took this question in my heart for the time being, and walked slowly forward with Ku Junwei.

This underground palace is indeed very magnificently built. The ground is covered with antique bluestone slabs. A circle around the underground palace, there are eight round stone pillars. The surface of the pillars is carved with various strange patterns, but those patterns are relatively abstract, looking like ghosts and appear very ferocious. Some kind of pigment may be painted in the patterns. In the darkness, the patterns are faintly shining with strange dark red blood, which is creepy.

There are many large murals on the bluestone walls of the underground palace, one by one, and the contents of the murals are also rich and colorful, including farming, sacrifices, and wars. It seems that the growth and rise and fall of a tribe are presented in front of us.

In the last mural, there is an old man standing high on the altar. His clothes are different from those of the Han nationality. They are like the clothes of ethnic minorities. His robe is flying, looking down at everything under his feet from a high place, full of a kingly atmosphere.

I pointed to the old man on the mural and said, "It looks like this old man is like a big toast!"

Chiefs were an official position on the border of China. It was established in the Yuan Dynasty and was granted the title to the leaders of ethnic minority tribes in the northwest and southwest regions.

There are many ethnic minorities in western Hunan, so there are naturally many toasts here.

However, compared with the tribal conditions of that year, if you want to build such an ancient tomb, the owner of this ancient tomb is definitely not a small chieftain, but a large chieftain with a very high status, and it is even likely that he was the chieftain king in the western Hunan area back then!

Ku Junwei touched his chin and nodded, "Well, it makes sense. I guess, this old man is likely to be the owner of this ancient tomb. This is a tomb of the King of Toast that has been covered with dust for hundreds of years!"

I was secretly shocked, and I didn't expect that there was a magnificent tomb of the King of Toast under this simple orphanage!

If the orphanage had not been rebuilt, this tomb of the King of Toast would have been sleeping underground forever and no one knew about it.

Of course, there are people who know, but they are all dead.

Gulugulu!

In the darkness ahead, strange sounds came, like the sound of boiling water.

I followed Ku Junwei and walked in the direction of making the sound.

etc!

After walking a few steps, I suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ku Junwei asked me.
Chapter completed!
