Chapter Twenty-Three: The Captain of the Mausoleum, His Life Is Out of His Hands!

"Wang Meng, have you read the posts on the Internet? Some people say that there is an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty under the Emerald Mountain, do you think there will be zongzi in it? How about we go for a walk after school? ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to take the college entrance examination soon, and my big tiger is staring at me every day to review. I'll be beaten up if I'm late when I go back, so I'd better study hard! ”

"Cut, you're boring. The students in Class 3 still said to go in the evening, so I thought I'd better go with them when I looked back! ”

……

Gao Qian couldn't help frowning as she listened to the discussion of her classmates. I don't know who spread the news, but it became known to passers-by in less than a day. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she only hoped that things wouldn't go too bad.

As night fell, the entire Emerald Mountain seemed to be covered with a black cloth, making it look deep and quiet.

At this moment, several motorcycles roared in, instantly breaking the original peace. Several people who got off the motorcycles were carrying large packages and holding glaring flashlights in their hands.

They hid their motorbikes in the woods and hurried up the mountain.

"Big brother, are you saying that the posts on the Internet are true? Will there really be an ancient tomb under this Emerald Mountain? ”

"Do you know if you have dug it? What if there is? If we can dig up a treasure or two, then we will be rich. ”

"The second child is right, it is better to believe it than to believe it not. Let's do a big job tonight, and we will be prosperous and rich in the second half of our lives. ”

"Master, don't you know Feng Shui? Do you give a single place? ”

"Well, Old Man Rong pinched his fingers and calculated! Hold on to it! ”

It turned out that this group of people who came here in a hurry were the tomb robbers who came to dig up treasures after reading the posts on the Internet. As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. These people knew that it was illegal to rob tombs, but they still came to dig up treasures with a fluke mentality. The fate can be imagined.

After the Feng Shui master among these people deduced and calculated, he finally chose the position of the shovel on a vacant lot on the Emerald Mountain.

It's a pity that these tomb robbers who came this time really didn't have any professional skills, so they took out the folding shovel from their backpacks and dug up their nonsense.

But there is a saying that a blind cat bumps into a dead mouse. Not to mention, after they dug all the time, they really dug a grave road.

Several people squatted in front of the tomb and shone their flashlights a few times inside, and finally mustered up the courage to go in and take a look.

But before they could step into the tomb, a black figure silently approached them.

Only a "pop" sound was heard, and the tomb robbers at the back immediately let out a miserable scream.

"Oh, who hit me?"

But when he looked back a few times, there was nothing, but the pain in the back of his head still didn't go away, and he gradually became a little scared.

"Big ...... Big brother, it seems to be ...... There seems to be a ...... Ghosts! ”

As soon as these words came out, the guys in front couldn't help but tense up.

"Sanzi, are you kidding? Where the hell is there? ”

Hearing this, the tomb robber known as the third son said with a sad face: "Big brother, just now...... Someone just beat me up. You touch the big bag on the back of my head, is this still a fucking fake? ”

When the tomb robber in front heard this, he reached out and touched it, but his hand was not close to the back of the third son's head, and his head was also firmly hit.

"Oh mom, what's the matter. Who hit me? Yes? Who hit me? ”

He looked back at the brothers behind him, all of whom were staring at his side with frightened expressions on their faces. He gradually realized that something was wrong, and then turned his head sharply to look.

At this glance, he almost died of fright.

"Oh my god! Let's go! He didn't have time to care so much, so he ran down the hill. As soon as the others saw that the boss had run away, they immediately used all their strength to feed, and all of them ran down the hill in a single stroke, and let out a scream like killing pigs as they ran.

After they left, they found that the person the boss had seen just now was actually disheveled and had blue fangs. The vicious eyes are like the evil ghosts of hell, which makes people feel terrified in their hearts.

But is he really a ghost? Are ghosts just scary?

That's when something unexpected happened. The so-called "ghost" actually reached out and grabbed his hair, and then pulled it down hard, and then ...... Then he dragged his hair and face off by himself.

But look closely, good fellow, behind this evil face is a pretty face. And what is even more surprising is that this person wearing a demon mask turned out to be ...... It turned out to be Tong Yan's classmate, Gao Qian!

How did Gao Qian end up here? Why is she pretending to be a ghost?

Everything has to do with her other identity, just because she is not an ordinary person, but a grave keeper who inherits the family's mission. Of course, the people of their family don't call themselves that, they have their own name, and that is the Tomb Guard!

What is a mausoleum guard? To put it simply, it refers to a secret army formed to protect the mausoleum. According to legend, as early as the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, in order to make up for the lack of military salaries, set up military ranks such as Faqiu Zhonglang General and Captain Jin, specializing in robbing tombs to obtain wealth and subsidizing military salaries. However, he was worried that his tomb would also be excavated by future generations, so he set up a mausoleum guard. And as time passed, the name of the captain of the mausoleum gradually changed, and finally became the mausoleum guard.

The guards are not just for a while, but for a lifetime. But people can't live forever, so there is a theory of inheritance. Gao Qian's ancestors are the mausoleum guards, so his family has been the mausoleum guards for generations, but it's a pity that the Gao family is thin, and when it comes to her generation, she is the only girl.

But don't underestimate the mausoleum guards, each of them is a specially trained and capable person. A qualified tomb guard is not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of exorcism and corpse suppression, otherwise he will not be able to do it at all. The reason why the martial arts are strong is to prevent people from robbing tombs. And to be proficient in the art of exorcism and corpse suppression, it is to ensure peace in the tomb.

When the mausoleum guards succeed to the throne, they need to make a poisonous oath not to steal the burial objects in the tomb, not to let people break into the tomb, and not to tell their identities to people who are not related by blood, otherwise they will be punished by five thunders and the heavens and the earth.

Although Gao Qian is now a mausoleum guard, she has not really taken the token from her father, nor has she made a poisonous oath. But in fact, since she turned sixteen, this emerald mountain has been guarded by her, just because his father has contracted a serious illness and has long been unable to get out of bed.

Those posts on the Internet have drawn the Emerald Mountain, which has been in the dust for more than a thousand years, into a whirlpool, and the biggest victims are actually these mausoleum guards who can't help themselves.

Although Gao Qian scared away those tomb robbers today, who can guarantee that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow, there will be no new tomb robbers coming to dig up treasures?

She didn't dare to think about it, because she was afraid that one day the tomb would be excavated, and then what would she do? What could she do?

Gao Qian looked at the dug grave road, couldn't help but sigh lightly, picked up the sapper shovel left by the tomb robbers on the ground, and planned to backfill the soil.

But at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, and Gao Qian's heart trembled when she heard this. And what shocked her even more was that this roar turned out to be ...... It came from the depths of this tomb.

Don't...... Could it be that there is something terrible hidden in this tomb?
