Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Cracks appeared on the clay sculpture of the white snake.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud cracking sound and the white snake's head fell off.

Bones.

The fallen white snake's head rolled on the ground for a few times and stopped right in front of Uncle Jiang.

Uncle Jiang was so frightened that he was shaking all over and almost suffocated.

"This, this, this..."

The third and fourth sons of the Jiang family and others were in a mess nearby.

"The snake's head fell off... the living earth dragon, something must have happened to the living earth dragon in our ancestor's tomb!"

"No wonder Big Brother hanged himself! Our Jiang family's luck is about to end!"

"What should I do?"

Click!

The sound of shattering came again.

The clay sculpture of the white snake completely shattered.

Soon after, cracks appeared on the clay sculpture of Guard Jiang, and pieces of clay fell down with a crackling sound.

In the blink of an eye, the upper half of the clay sculpture shattered, revealing the wooden frame inside.

Before making this kind of clay sculpture, a wooden frame is used to create the main structure for support, just like the human skeleton.

Moreover, the chest and abdomen of tall clay sculptures, bronze sculptures, etc. are often hollow.

After the clay sculpture of Guard Jiang shattered, a snake head emerged from the hollow wooden frame.

The snake's head stuck out, spitting out its tongue and hissing at the Jiang family.

More and more snake heads appeared, so many that they could not be counted.

Hiss!

The snakes hissed, jumped out of the clay sculptures, and pounced on the Jiang family members in the hall.

Jiang Nanle, who was pressed to the ground, threw his head back and laughed.

"Hahaha!"

"Retribution, retribution is coming!"

"None of you can escape, you will all suffer retribution!"

Pfft!

Uncle Jiang was frightened by the snake and turned around to run, but he tripped over his left foot and fell flat on his face.

He got up in a panic.

But the Jiang family member next to him was also eager to escape and stepped on his back.

Uncle Jiang, who had just gotten up, was stepped on to the ground again.

The snakes swam towards the Jiang family and bit them.

Many people were bitten and screamed while covering their wounds.

"Venomous snake, it's a poisonous snake!"

"My wound is black, come and save me!"

But everyone else was only concerned about escaping for their own lives, and no one cared about the person who was bitten.

Suddenly the Jiang Family Temple was in chaos.

Everyone ran out in a hurry.

The onlookers were also frightened by the poisonous snake and ran out of the village.

"Brother, what's going on with the Jiang family?"

"Is this really retribution?"

I thought to myself, "It's hard for the mountain ghost to agree to Jiang Nan. It will bring retribution to the Jiang family. Maybe it's related to the mountain ghost."

I really can't think of any other possibility, so I can only blame it on the mountain ghost.

The panicked crowd pushed us back out.

I stopped only after I retreated a few hundred meters and the crowd thinned out.

At this time, no one was running out of the Jiang Family Temple.

Except for those who were seriously injured in the trampling and those who were bitten by poisonous snakes and could not move, everyone else had already fled.

But the cries for help continued to be heard.

The Jiang Family Temple seemed to have become a hellish place.

Just listening to those sounds makes people feel chilling.

"Brother, it's difficult. I'm afraid she has already... Let's go."

Cui Hao didn't say the word dead.

But he had already decided in his heart that Jiang Nanle was doomed.

There are so many poisonous snakes, and a bite from any one of them can kill you.

What's more, she hasn't come out for such a long time, so the result is self-evident.

I sighed.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly heard loud laughter coming from the Jiang Family Temple.

"Hahaha!"

"Dad! You can see this in heaven!"

"I killed the living earth dragon, and I am the one who gave them retribution!"

After the shouting, Jiang Nanle’s figure walked out of the Jiang Family Temple.

Cui Hao and I both widened our eyes in surprise.

I really can't imagine how she survived.

Didn't the snake bite her?

Just as I was thinking about it, Jiang Nanle came jogging over.

He handed me the roll of yellow silk in his hand.

"This was taken out of the clay statue's belly. It's something from the royal family."

"As a thank you gift for helping me get revenge."

Jiang Nanle said this very seriously.

I glanced at Huang Lingzi.

It is bright yellow in color and embroidered with very delicate dragon patterns, and seems to be something used by the royal family.

Without taking the time to look closely, I stuffed Huang Lingzi into my bag and pulled Jiang Nanle out.

When we arrived at the village entrance, Lao Li, sitting on the donkey cart, waved at us vigorously.

"Hurry! Get in the car and go!"

We ran over and got on the donkey cart.

The small donkey cart was packed with people, and the donkey pulling the cart shook its head and was unwilling to move.

After being whipped twice, it reluctantly moved its hooves.

Old Li asked curiously, "Why are you running so slowly? You almost can't wait to leave!"

"Right, Jiang girl, are you okay?"

"What's going on in that temple? Is this retribution as they say?"

Jiang Nanle pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Perhaps they did too many bad things, and the ancestors couldn't stand it anymore, so they punished them."

Old Li sighed and said quietly, "Robbing tombs also damages our virtue. Tomb robbers rarely have a good ending."

"It seems I need to do some good deeds in the future to accumulate merit for myself."

This is true.

Tomb robbing is indeed a detrimental act.

Only official tomb robbers can withstand the consequences of tomb robbery. It is difficult for ordinary tomb robbers to have a good ending and they will eventually become rich and poor.

They went to Jiang Nanle's father's grave and placed incense, candles, fruits and snacks.

Jiang Nanle said a lot of things about how the Jiang family had suffered retribution and that they could rest in peace after their great hatred was avenged, and then asked if they were willing to move the grave to another place for burial.

After asking, Jiang Nanle inserted three incense sticks in a straight line in front of the tomb.

After the three incense sticks burned for a while, the incense heads were still flat.

Old Li smacked his lips and said, "Ping Anxiang, your father doesn't want to move."

"If it were you, I'd bury him first. When you make some money in a few years, come back and build a good grave for your father."

Jiang Nanle nodded when he heard this.

"Okay, when I have money, I will come back and build a good grave for my father!"

After paying our respects again, we got in the car and headed back.

On the way, Lao Li felt uneasy: "I say, let's go back and pack up our things and go straight back to Xi'an."

"Back to Daobei, I'll treat you all to a good meal!"

Since there was no need to relocate the grave and I didn't want to waste time, I agreed to Lao Li's proposal.

We returned to the yard and packed our things.

I put the dried snake gall and snake skin into the bag, and it happened to touch the roll of yellow silk that Jiang Nanle gave me.

I took out the yellow silk scroll and unfolded it, and it turned out to be a secondary scroll.

In the past, in order to highlight the royal majesty, the emperor's imperial edicts and hand scrolls to his subjects were all written on silk brocade fabrics.

I looked carefully at what was written on the scroll.

The scroll is a handwritten note from Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty to Guard Jiang, ordering him to search for Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts in Shaanxi in disguise, with particular emphasis on the Zhongnan Mountains.

After Zhu Di's rebellion was successful, Zhu Yunwen mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown.

This became a source of worry for Zhu Di, and he often secretly ordered his trusted subordinates to go on incognito visits to find the whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen.

But he never found it in his entire life.

Therefore, the whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen has become a historical mystery, with many different opinions and speculations.

This scroll is worth a lot of money!

I carefully folded up the scroll and put it in my bag.

Jiang Nanle pushed the door open and walked into the room, whispering, "There is a legend about my ancestors."

"Do you want to hear it?"
