A Nest of Snakes Inside an Old Tomb - Chapter 41 (plus more)

Yin Xiaoxiao and Mo Boss climbed, climbed, climbed, and climbed. Yin Xiaoxiao felt that the place they were in was getting more and more remote. Although the mountains and plains are still trees and grasses, they are also along with Heitan. The river walks. It stands to reason that how they walk is on this mountain. Where does the sense of remoteness come from? But Yin Xiaoxiao felt that way.

Yin Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at the sky. Although he said that it is not noon, but at this time in normal times, Yin Xiaoxiao has already felt the heat, but now the scorching sun is still hanging in the sky, but he still feels cool, wrong. It’s not right to say that it’s cool, so how do you describe it? Yin Xiaoxiao thought for a long time but didn’t think of it.

“Heitan, don’t you think the temperature here is not right?” After hesitating, Yin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help asking Boss Mo after all.

While looking for any suitable caves around, Boss Mo casually replied, “This is normal. The place we are now is a forbidden land, don’t you know?”

In fact, Boss Mo just asked casually, which of the poisonous snakes on this mountain has no memory of inheritance. When it is said that it is a forbidden place, it is known that it is the so-called guardian place.

Yin Xiaoxiao was at a loss: “Forbidden land? What forbidden land?”

Boss Mo thought to himself that this little idiot was really hopeless, so he had to say again: “Look at your inheritance memory, don’t you know?”

Yin Xiaoxiao hesitated, and said quietly, “I have no memory of inheritance.”

Although Yin Xiaoxiao had spoken very quietly, but firstly, Boss Mo was too close to it, and secondly, Boss Mo’s hearing was so good. Nature had heard what Yin Xiaoxiao said clearly. Hearing clearly, Boss Mo stopped crawling abruptly, and turned to face Yin Xiaoxiao who was following him: “What? No inheritance memory?”

Yin Xiaoxiao saw only surprise in the eyes of Boss Mo, instead of repelling or guarding. Yin Xiaoxiao felt very happy somehow: “Well, when I was born, there was no memory of inheritance.”

But Boss Mo turned out to have an expression that suddenly realized: “Oh, it turned out to be like this, no wonder you are such an idiot!” After saying that Boss Mo was triumphant, and said, “I am so smart that I know what your idiot is. Come on, praise me, praise me”.

Yin Xiaoxiao wanted to cry without tears, did he want to thank Hei Tan for finding the root cause of his idiot?

Boss Mo coughed twice. Since the little idiot has no memory of inheritance, I don’t know it’s normal here, so he patiently explained to Yin Xiaoxiao: “The so-called forbidden land is the place of protection, and we can come here with poisonous snakes. But you have also realized that the temperature here is lower than other places on the mountain. If there is nothing to do in the forbidden area, the snake would not come close here.” Boss Mo murmured again in his heart, except for the temperature in the forbidden area. The low point is no different. It’s weird if there are snakes and things come to the forbidden area.

Yin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that what Dad and Dad didn’t let him approach… should be this forbidden place, right? Yin Xiaoxiao was a little nervous thinking about this: “Hei Tan, then what are we doing here?”

“Find a cave to live in. Didn’t you mean to find a place where there are few snakes? This mountain has the fewest snakes.”

For a moment, Yin Xiaoxiao wondered if Hei Tan had deliberately found such a place, just to retaliate against her by not introducing him to her fourth brother.

Just as Yin Xiaoxiao wanted to answer, he realized that a huge dark object had just passed in his line of sight. While Yin Xiaoxiao’s body became stiff, he did not forget to pull the tail of Boss Mo in front of him, and Boss Mo was forced to stop. Turning around, I asked Yin Xiaoxiao what was wrong, rather impatiently.

Yin Xiaoxiao swallowed, and climbed two steps forward to get close to Boss Mo’s body, and mustered up the courage to look in the direction of what he had just seen. At this glance, Yin Xiaoxiao was startled at first, and then at a loss. Up.

“What’s the matter?” Boss Mo’s mood became obviously happy because of Yin Xiaoxiao’s hug, so he asked again.

Yin Xiaoxiao ignored Boss Mo and left Boss Mo’s side, crawling towards his own thing, crawling to the feet of that thing and looking up, only to find that he was too confident about his height, so he had to go back and forth again. After a few steps back, I stopped, and looked at the thing again. Okay, now the whole picture of this thing can be seen clearly. It’s just that the more I look at Yin Xiaoxiao, the more dizzy I feel.

Yin Xiaoxiao was an orphan in his previous life, but unfortunately no one has adopted him. When he is old, no one will adopt him. Fortunately, the orphanage is in a densely populated city with a developed economy, and there are always some who are rich. People donate money to the orphanage in the name of charity. Yin Xiaoxiao still remembers that every time there is such an event, the orphanage will always come to many media. These orphans stand on the stage and have to do something for each one. The people who donated the money responded with grateful eyes or movements. The surrounding flashes flickered and the silver eyes couldn’t be opened. Because of this, the orphanage still has spare money for the children who have not been adopted to go to school. Yes, Yinxiaoxiao was admitted to a university after graduating from high school, but the orphanage did not have the ability to provide for the orphans to go to university. Besides, they had grown up when they graduated from high school, and there was no reason for the orphanage to be another capable worker. People paid for it, but fortunately there was a boom in the society to subsidize poor students to go to college. Yin Xiaoxiao was also fortunate to be one of them. Yin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time when choosing a major, and finally gave up I chose finance because of the history I am most interested in.

At that time, I already knew that ideals were not prepared for people like myself, at least not now. But even if you choose finance, there is no way to stop Yin Xiaoxiao’s interest in history. In the four years of university, in addition to taking courses and majors and going out to work, the rest of the time Yin Xiaoxiao stayed in the library to read history books. Reading history books naturally also dabbles in archaeology, but only rarely.

The thing in front of Yin Xiaoxiao was a guard with a bronze sword about 1.8 meters high. Yin Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked at the opposite side of the bronze guard with a knife, and sure enough, there was also a bronze guard with the same sword. The bronze figure has long been rusty, but the lifelikeness of the casting can still be seen. The bronze figure is solemn and sharp. The first sight will make people’s heart tremble.

“Shinto?” Yin Xiaoxiao murmured, “It turned out to be bronze?”

Shinto is the passage in front of the mausoleum built by ancient emperors, meaning “the way to the gods”. Li Xian once noted: “The path was opened in front of the tomb, and stone pillars were built as a sign, which is called the Shinto.” According to Yin Xiaoxiao’s memory, the use of Shinto as a tomb was a thing after the Han Dynasty, and the Shinto of the Han dynasty general Huo Qubing is the earliest discovered. The tomb of Huo Qubing was built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to commend this beloved general. It was built in the east of his Maoling Mausoleum. On both sides of the Shinto are large stone carvings. There is also a Shinto stele on the Shinto, Ming Chen Jiru said: “The family has the status, the tomb has the inscription, the Shinto has the stele, there are rumours, there are punishes, there are praises, there are tombs, and it is still not.

In fact, Shinto is not only used by ancient emperors, but also occasionally seen by emperor’s gifts, princes and generals, and homes of meritorious service. On both sides of the Shinto, there are many stone men and beasts, which means that most of them are carved in stone. Occasionally, there are bronze figures, and the two who appear in front of Yin Xiaoxiao are obviously bronze figures.

“Black charcoal, why is there bronze… uh, this kind of thing?” Yin Xiaoxiao thought that even if it was bronze black charcoal, he didn’t understand it, so he should just talk about this kind of thing.

Boss Mo glanced at something that made Yin Xiaoxiao very excited. The first time I saw this thing, everyone would be surprised: “I don’t know the specifics, but I heard that there was this thing here a long time ago. Plants are here, and snakes used to crawl along these things enthusiastically.” Boss Mo pointed his head in one direction, indicating that there are still a lot of these things, “But I didn’t find anything when I climbed to the top. Give up. Anyway, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us, so there will be no snakes to take care of it.”

As soon as I heard Boss Mo said that there were many more, Yin Xiaoxiao was excited, is it really the divine way he had guessed? Could it be that there is a tomb here? The poisonous snake family has been guarding for generations. It is actually an ancient tomb. Yin Xiaoxiao did not expect to see a few ancient tombs in his previous life. After he became a snake, he can see one, and it seems that it has not been excavated. In the ancient tomb, Yin Xiaoxin’s heart began to move, so I can enter the ancient tomb, there should be a lot of gold and silver treasures, thinking that the small silver saliva will flow down, not that the dragons are very good People who like the shining treasure horse, so we, who are called “little dragons”, can’t lag behind, right? What are you talking about? dead? Ann, Ann, I don’t know how to move the coffin, don’t even enter the main tomb! What’s more, there is black charcoal to accompany him!

In fact, Yin Xiaoxiao’s idea and what he wants to do is what Chinese people are used to call a tomb robber. If caught, he will be sentenced, but you can’t use human laws to restrain a snake. So at this time, Yin Xiao Xiao completely regarded himself as a snake.

“Let’s check it out too!” Yin Xiaoxiao happily threw a sentence and crawled away first. Boss Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, and followed Yin Xiaoxiao with his fate, didn’t he just go and see these. The ugly creature standing on the road, Boss Mo said that he and Yin Xiaoxiao still have enough time, and it doesn’t matter if such a little time is wasted.

Yin Xiaoxiao counted the number of bronze men on both sides as she walked, and finally reached the end when she counted ninety-nine.

Ninety-nine? Yin Xiaoxiao repeated this number doubtfully in his heart. In ancient China, nine was the respect. Ninety-nine bronze figures are naturally good. It also made Yin Xiaoxiao believe that this is an emperor’s tomb, but the two sides of the Shinto are symmetrical. Put the bronze figure in the form of, how do you see that the end should end in an even number, either one hundred or ninety-eight, how could there be the number ninety-nine?

But obviously, it’s impossible for a Yin Xiaoxiao who doesn’t understand history, archeology, five elements and gossip at all, plus a Boss Mo who has never seen human beings before, and doesn’t even know that the viper clan guards a tomb. It’s impossible. I know why in the end, there will only be ninety-nine bronze people on both sides of Shinto.

Even if Yin Xiaoxiao was puzzled, there was no time to worry about it at this moment. At the end of the divine path, there was a mountain wall, a bare mountain wall with nothing long, in the eyes of Boss Mo, and in the eyes of Yin Xiaoxiao, There is a stone gate at the bottom of the bare mountain wall.

Yin Xiaoxiao doesn’t know how to convert rulers to inches. Just like the bronze figure in front, Yin Xiaoxiao only knows that it is about 1.8 meters. If you change to an expert or scholar, then specify that one exit is what eight feet. It’s seven inches or so, so in Yin Xiaoxiao’s eyes, Shimen is more than three meters high and two meters wide.

What made Yin Xiaoxiao the most speechless was that at the bottom of the closed stone gate, there was a small hole. How small is the hole… It looks like the kind of hole drilled for a slender creature like a snake.

“Heitan, let’s go in and take a look.” Yin Xiaodao, if this stone gate is completely closed, it will be fine if you don’t find the mechanism after looking around, but now there is a small hole under the stone gate, this How can I not seize this opportunity!

When Boss Mo heard Yin Xiaoxiao’s words, his face was at a loss: “Ah? Where are you going?”

Yin Xiaoxiao didn’t even turn his head back, and even moved a few steps forward, getting closer to the small hole, and compared it uneasy. He found that it was more than enough for him to go in, so he was relieved: “Just go into this small hole. Ah, hurry up, hurry up, I’m going in first!” Then Yin Xiaoxiao couldn’t wait to get in, and then went back to greet Boss Mo: “Heitan, you hurry up…point.” Yin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. After looking back, I didn’t see the hole at all! There is a smooth rock in front of you!

But in the eyes of Boss Mo, the situation is like this: Yin Xiaoxiao climbed up to this bare mountain wall and looked happy, then leaned in front of the mountain wall, said something to enter this small hole and let herself come in too. , And then Yin Xiaoxiao actually got into the mountain wall! And then… no more.

Boss Mo was also dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a full minute before he realized what had just happened, and summed it up in one sentence: Yin Xiaoxiao is gone!
