Chapter 32363238【Pingshan】
Hua Ling and the old foreigner were very disappointed when they saw that it was just a corpse-fixing pill.
The corpse-fixing pill may still be a rare treasure for ordinary tomb robbers.
However, Banshan Taoist practices have been passed down for thousands of years, and this has long been commonplace.
The two men immediately held up torches and looked around.
“Remember, you are only allowed to look, not touch, be careful when touching the mechanism.” Xiang Nan reminded, and then he also started to look.
There were countless gold, silver and jewelry piled in the coffin, but Xiang Nan did not touch it.
The Taoist priest who moved the mountains entered the ancient tomb just to get the Muchen Bead. He had no interest in gold, silver, treasures or antiques.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan saw the Pingshan Mountain in western Hunan among the carvings inside the coffin.
“Brother, look, there is an eyeball on the wall~” At this moment, the old foreigner suddenly pointed to an eye-shaped gem on the tomb wall and said, subconsciously wanting to touch it.
"Don't move!" When Xiang Nan saw it, he immediately flew over and pushed the old foreigner aside.
He knew that the eyeball was not Muchen's bead, but a trap set up by the owner of the tomb.
This bead is a precious cat's eye gemstone. Tomb robbers are all greedy people. They will definitely not be willing to give up such a big orb.
At that time, as long as you touch it, the mechanism will be triggered. Not only will it fire a powerful crossbow, it will also cause the underground palace to collapse, burying everyone inside and accompanying the tomb owner.
“This is a mechanism, don’t touch it.” Xiang Nan explained.
The old foreigner nodded in shock.
…
“Brother, I can’t find any useful clues.” After looking at all the murals and carvings in the tomb, Hua Ling and the old foreigner reported to Xiang Nanhui.
The faces of both of them were full of disappointment.
They spent a lot of effort to rob the princess's tomb, but it was all in vain.
"Don't be disappointed. Our tribe has been searching for the Muchen Bead for thousands of years, and we have failed more than once or twice. You have only been searching for a few years, and how many times have you failed to get discouraged?" Xiang Nan said upon seeing this, "Besides, we also It’s not all without gain.”
“Brother, have you found the clue?” Hua Ling and the old foreigner asked immediately after hearing this.
Xiang Nan nodded, pointed to the bottle mountain on the coffin and said, "Look, you guys, there is an eyeball carved on this mountain. Maybe the Muchen Bead is hidden on this mountain."
“Hey, it’s really an eyeball.” Hua Ling was overjoyed when she saw it.
The old foreigner was equally excited when he saw this. I originally thought there were no clues, but I didn't expect that there was a bright future.
“But there are more than tens of millions of mountains in the world. Where is this bottle-like mountain?” the old foreigner asked doubtfully.
"Yes, senior brother, even if the Muchen Bead is hidden in this bottle mountain, we don't know where it is." Hua Ling also said regretfully.
"Don't worry, I have read the ancient books collected by the clan and know that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, emperors of various dynasties have refined elixirs here. The shape of the treasure is like a vase, so it is named Pingshan." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Pingshan?! Such a coincidence!" Hua Ling and the old foreigner were very excited, "Senior brother knows better. Senior brother, where is the Pingshan?"
“Xiangxi.” Xiang Nan said.
Xiang Nan nodded, closed the coffin lid, and led the two of them out of the tomb.…
Ten days later, the three brothers and sisters of Xiang Nan arrived in western Hunan.
However, Xiang Nan did not rush into the mountains, but prepared sachets and pills.
“Brother, what are you doing this for?” the old foreigner asked in confusion.
"Since the Qin and Han dynasties, people have been collecting herbs to make elixirs in Pingshan. After thousands of years of accumulation, you can imagine how powerful the medicinal properties are." Xiang Nan explained, "There are many poisonous insects in the mountains of western Hunan. They eat each other and spread poisons on weekdays, and they also use medicinal stones to It turns out to be an extremely poisonous thing. If you accidentally get a little bit of it, your life may be lost.
The so-called sharpening the knife will not waste the woodcutter. Let’s prepare more sachets to avoid toxins and pills to detoxify, so that we are prepared for any danger. "
He inherited the medical skills of Xilaile, Li Guishou, Huang Yaoshi and Xiaoyao Sect. He also learned the poison skills of Five Poison Sect and Xingxiu Sect. He has quite high attainments in medical skills and poison skills.
Although the poisonous insects in "Nu Qing in Xiangxi" are extremely poisonous, if a normal person is splashed with a little venom, it will instantly turn into pus. But in Xiang Nan's opinion, it's not too outrageous. With his medical skills and poison skills, he should be able to handle it.
Hua Ling and the old foreigner both nodded upon hearing this.
…
In fact, Xiang Nan had another reason for not telling them, and that was that he was inquiring about the movements of the Xiling warriors.
There is no clear time in "Nu Qing in Xiangxi". Moving mountains and unloading ridges to steal Pingshan together is just a coincidence, which is purely coincidental.
But Xiang Nan must ensure that Xiling also digs Pingshan. Otherwise, his trip to Pingshan would basically be in vain.
Because he knew that there was no Muchen Bead in Pingshan Mountain and that the exact location of Muchen Bead was the tomb of King Xian in western Yunnan.
However, with current science and technology, they simply cannot steal the tomb of King Xian.
Because there is a very strong miasma outside the tomb of King Xian, you must wear a gas mask. And if it weren't for the collapse of the sky, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to break it.
The "collapse of heaven" mentioned in the book was a plane falling from the sky, causing damage to the anti-theft mechanism of King Xian's tomb. And now it is 1930. Although the airplane has been invented, I believe that no airplane has yet landed in southern Yunnan.
Furthermore, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a world full of fatalism, and everything in the future seems to be predestined.
For example, King Xian used the Muchen Pearl to predict that three people with eyeballs on their backs would come to his tomb in the future. Sure enough, his tomb was robbed by Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang and Shirley Yang who were cursed with red spots.
Of course, these three people can also be Xiang Nan, Hua Ling, and Lao Yangren. It's just that Hua Ling and the old foreigner still need to practice hard, otherwise how will they face the two major difficulties of Worm Valley in Western Yunnan and Kunlun Temple.
…
Xiang Nan was making sachet pills to prevent and detoxify, while secretly inquiring about the movements of the Xiling warriors.
Xiling warriors originated from the Red Eyebrow Army in the late Western Han Dynasty. During the uprising, they robbed the royal tombs of the Han Dynasty and took out the gold and silver treasures buried in the tombs to use as military pay.
After the Chimei army was defeated, the remaining tribes became bandits, retaining the tradition of robbing ancient tombs and scraping the treasures from the tombs for money.
Because they gathered in groups, numbering in the tens of thousands, and when robbing tombs, they used long hoes and shovels, oxen and horses, and medicine, stone, and earthen cannons. By digging holes into the mountain, he has the power to "remove the mountains and expose the ground", so he is called the "mountain-removal warrior".
As the saying goes, a bird cannot fly without a head, and a snake cannot fly without a head. There were over ten thousand warriors in Xiiling, so there had to be a leader who could coordinate them. This leader was called the "Pirate Leader of Xiiling".
The current leader of the Xiling Pirates is Chen Yulou, also known as Jintang, a well-known figure in western Hunan.
Three generations of the Chen family have been chief pirates in Xiling. Chen Yulou was not only born with a pair of night eyes, which allowed him to see in the dark, but he also received the true inheritance from his ancestors and could identify treasures in the world.
Coupled with his chivalrous spirit and all-round talent, he is well-known in Green Forest Road, so it is not difficult to find him.
