Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Menhulu was the second person who said that I had evil spirits.

The first one is Taoist Master Zhang.

Could it be that this guy also has some skills?

I tried to test him, "Is there an evil spirit in me? Will I die if I stay in your house?"

The taciturn man hung his head and said nothing.

I simply sat on the edge of the bed and started talking to myself.

"I'm cursed. I only have two more months to live at most."

"I had the good fortune to meet Taoist Master Zhang in Shangluo before. This time I came here to help him find the magic sword and the Seven-Star Nail. With these two items, perhaps I can break the curse..."

The taciturn man slowly turned his head and stared at me.

After I finished speaking, he slowly said, "No."

"what?"

I was stunned.

It took a moment to realize that what he said incoherently was that there was no magic sword and seven-star nail.

This taciturn guy speaks too concisely.

"I didn't ask you for the magic sword and the Seven Star Lamp. I just heard that Chongyang Palace is the ancestral home of Quanzhen, so I came here to try my luck."

“Nothing left.”

The taciturn answer was still concise.

It seems that there used to be a magic sword and seven-star nails here, but they are gone now.

Think about it.

The Taoist priests in Chongyang Palace have dispersed, the statues have fallen, and the main hall has been almost demolished. It is really impossible for those things to be there.

But my target was Wang Chongyang's tomb.

At this time, Cui Hao's voice came: "Brother, bring the food back!"

I just grabbed the dumb guy.

Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he pulled him out of the room.

“Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will be hungry.”

"I'll stay at your house tonight. We'll treat you to this meal as your accommodation fee."

"Need not."

The dumb guy wants to break free from me.

I simply grabbed his arms with both hands and dragged him out of the room.

There were four dishes on the table outside.

Smashed cucumbers, fried peanuts, sugar-coated tomatoes, braised pork, and a bottle of Longwo wine to go.

Longwo Liquor is a local liquor in Huxian County. It is not very famous but cheap.

"The food is good, Brother Menghulu, let's eat and drink to our heart's content tonight."

I forced the taciturn guy to sit down at the table.

"Don't eat."

"If you don't eat it, it means you look down on us!" I said firmly.

The taciturn man sighed helplessly and finally sat down at the table.

Cui Hao handed him the chopsticks.

Pour wine into coarse porcelain bowls and place a bowl in front of each person.

"You taciturn guy, now you can speak. I thought you were dumb just now." Cui Hao teased.

The taciturn man said slowly, "If I have nothing to say, I won't say it."

"Hey, got character!"

"I'll toast you first, and let's get drunk together."

Cui Hao raised his bowl in a toast.

The mute man shook his head, obviously not wanting to drink.

I secretly winked at Cui Hao and told him to get him drunk tonight no matter what.

It's easier to get the point across when he's drunk.

Cui Hao nodded slightly.

He held the wine bowl and sat next to Meng Hulu.

"It would be inappropriate if you don't drink."

"How about I drink half a bowl and you can just take a sip as a token of your appreciation."

"What man doesn't drink? The reason Wu Song was able to kill the tiger was because he drank eighteen bowls of wine."

"As the old saying goes, alcohol makes cowards brave. If you don't like to talk, you are a coward. Once you drink, you will immediately stop being a coward. Hurry and pick up the wine bowl."

The taciturn man had obviously never experienced such a situation.

After being pestered by Cui Hao for a long time, he finally picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.

Seeing that the taciturn guy had drunk some wine, Cui Hao winked at me proudly.

I signaled him with my eyes to keep trying.

Cui Hao immediately grabbed Men Hulu's hand holding the wine bowl and said, "They say you should clink your glasses three times when drinking. This is the first time, we need two more."

The mute man quickly shook his head: "No, I don't want to drink anymore."

His face was flushed, and it was obvious that he couldn't drink much.

I guess if I drink a few more I'll get drunk.

Cui Hao refused to give in and kept pestering her with a lot of words.

The taciturn man had no choice but to continue drinking.

He was coerced into drinking a whole bowl of wine. He was drunk and his eyes were blurry, and his body swayed back and forth involuntarily.

"Head, I feel dizzy, I want to go back."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

I helped Meng Hulu up and sent him back to his room.

He casually asked, "Is Wang Chongyang's tomb in Chongyang Palace?"

"Yes."

"but……"

Huh? I was confused by his "yes"

What does this mean?

"But what?"

The mute man said dazedly, "The ancestor's tomb was dug up a few years ago."

"The villagers dug up the grave and uncovered the stone coffin, destroying the remains of the ancestor."

"I, I secretly hid a few of the ancestors' remains and buried them in my yard."

"No, don't tell anyone."

This news made me feel numb.

I also want to dig up Wang Chongyang’s tomb to see if there is any magic sword buried with him.

Who would have thought that his grave had been dug up a few years ago?

This kind of thing was not uncommon at that time.

During that period, many temples and palaces were destroyed, tombs were dug up, and some even dug up bones and crushed them to ashes.

According to Menhulu, Wang Chongyang should not have had a good ending even after his remains were found.

There is no need to think about the fate of the burial objects.

"Where's Tomb of the Living Dead?"

The mute man burped and said, "It's in Chengdao Palace. There's nothing much in there."

"But, there is a legend."

"It is said that Master Chongyang set up a mechanism in the Tomb of the Living Dead, hiding... snore."

Before he could finish his words, the drunkard took effect and fell asleep.

I pushed him hard: "Wake up and finish what you are saying!"

"What's in it?"

"Huff...Huff...Huff."

The only answer I got was a burst of snoring.

Well, now there is no way to ask this question.

When I left the room, Cui Hao was clearing away the dishes.

These are all from the restaurant, you have to return them after eating.

"Brother, did you find out anything?"

"Don't even think about Wang Chongyang's tomb. It was dug up by villagers a few years ago. There should be something in the tomb of the living dead."

"It's just that he fell asleep without saying anything clearly."

Cui Hao sighed with regret: "Why did they let people dig up my grave?"

"I don't know if there will be anything good."

"Well, I'll go return the plate first."

After putting the plates and bowls into the basket, Cui Hao staggered out.

He had also drunk quite a bit of wine, and was having trouble walking.

After a long time, he didn't come back.

I was worried that something had happened to him, so I was about to go outside to check.

At this time, Cui Hao ran back happily.

"Brother, I just had a chat with the restaurant owner."

"It's said that Wang Chongyang's tomb was indeed excavated a few years ago, and some porcelain items like plates and jars were unearthed."

"It is said that several small bottles containing medicinal pills were also dug out, but the bottles were taken away by the town officials."

"By the way, I also asked about the Tomb of the Living Dead."

"The restaurant owner said it's very deep. The village elders say there's a brick-lined hole underneath, with nothing but a stone bed."

"Later, Chongyang Palace fell into disrepair, and the Taoist priests filled in the tomb and sealed it. No one has gone down there since."

"I think our trip was in vain. Wang Chongyang didn't leave us anything."

Tomb robbers fear nothing more than an empty-handed appearance.

Especially when they dug a hole into the tomb and found that everything inside had been emptied out by the predecessors, they were so sad that they had no tears to cry.

But I still hold out hope for Tomb of the Living Dead.

"You don't have to think about Wang Chongyang's tomb, but you still have to see the Tomb of the Living Dead."

"Tonight, let's go to the Tomb of the Living Dead."
