Grave robbing?!
This word is like a sharp thorn, irritating the nerves of several of us.
It has been more than a few months since we came out of the demon tomb, but the various dangers in that tomb are still thrilling when I think back to this day, so much so that I feel a little nervous when I hear this word now. I stare at this little Zhebie eagerly, and the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is the case.
This abscess looks like a bunch of eyeballs, which is extremely evil. Who has heard of this disease? The more I look at it, the more it looks like a ghost!
"Three big brothers, what do you mean?"
Xiao Zhebie was a little scared by the three of us, and couldn't help saying: "Since we got into trouble in the mountains, how can we have time to rob tombs? Besides, the sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. Which eye of yours can see a tomb?"
I couldn't help laughing when he said this.
There are no tombs on the prairie? This is bullying us for not knowing the business.
Where is this place?
It is near the Xilamulun River and the Greater Khingan Range, with abundant water and grass. Although it is a bit deserted now, it was very lively in the past. Nomadic people have always lived by following water and grass. How could they give up such a fertile land? How many powerful tribes have risen from here.
Let alone other things, on the way here, I saw several raised hills that looked like tombs. I dare not say that I can tell for sure, but based on the ability passed down in my family, at least five or six of them have tombs underneath, and they are large tombs.
If this place has not attracted the patronage of tomb robbers, it is all due to the secret burial system of the nomadic people in the past. To put it bluntly, the form and burial place of the nobles after death were not mentioned in the literature and history, and all the participants were killed in the end.
Not all the tomb robbers in this world are tomb robbers or generals. If there are only one or two out of a hundred, they are already very old. Most people find tombs based on these legends passed down from mouth to mouth and clues in the literature and history.
Therefore, people who know the business know that there are many NMG tombs, and many of them are large tombs that have not been discovered. The former Mongolian nobles left many, but they just didn't have the ability to find them.
Don't say this, Xiaozhe, it seems a bit of a cover-up in our eyes, but I believe what Brother Yaozi said in my heart.
"You..."
Don't say that Xiaozhe is not the Seventh Master, this person is much more delicate, he saw the clues from our faces, and stood up from the bed angrily, but because of his body, he was weak and fell on the bed, and said angrily: "I say, you people, why can't you understand human words?"
Looking at the posture, if the three of us were not here to help, I'm afraid we would rush up and make a few gestures with us.
"Why are you so excited?"
Qi Ye was furious, and glared at Xiao Zhe Bie: "I finally invited the three brothers to help us, why don't you know what's good for you?"
"No!"
Xiao Zhe Bie said anxiously: "I really didn't rob a tomb. You wrongly accuse me for no reason. Do you think I can feel comfortable?"
Qi Ye hesitated for a moment, and asked Xiao Zhe Bie again, did you really not rob a tomb?
Xiao Zhe Bie was so angry that he slammed the table and said that if he really went to rob a tomb, Qi Ye would take him to the police station.
Qiye hesitated for a moment, and then came over to talk to Brother Yaozi, but was interrupted by Brother Yaozi with a wave of his hand: "Are you still stubborn? If you hadn't touched the artifacts from underground, I would have taken your last name today!"
After that, he shouted and asked me to find a bowl of snow-white glutinous rice from our luggage. Then he put the glutinous rice on the ground and asked Qiye to help Xiaozhebie come over and squat. He put the knife he brought with him in the charcoal brazier and burned it red. He told Xiaozhebie to bear it, and then cut a boil on his forehead with a knife.
Xiaozhebie screamed "Ah", and a stream of dark green pus flowed out of the boil, dripping into the bowl, and was absorbed by the glutinous rice. White smoke came out of the glutinous rice.
"Oh my god, this smell is like being in a seafood market!"
Lao Bai covered his nose and stepped back a little: "Besides, what you sell are all stinky seafood..."
Brother Yaozi sneered and stabbed the red-hot knife into the glutinous rice with his backhand. An even more bizarre scene appeared. The glutinous rice burned with a "boom", but the flames were pale green. Indistinctly, a strange "squeak" sound came from the glutinous rice, just like the screams of mice.
"This is a demon!"
Master Qi was a big man, and he was frightened by this scene and stepped back repeatedly. His legs were shaking back and forth. He wanted to kneel down to Brother Yaozi directly, and was shocked by the beauty.
"Do you have anything to say this time?"
Brother Yaozi raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhebie: "You want to say this is an infectious disease, is there such a weird infectious disease?"
Xiao Zhebie opened his mouth, unable to refute, and just said hesitantly: "But, I really didn't rob the tomb. Since the incident, I have been at home and dare not go out..."
After a short time together, I probably figured out that although Qi Ye seems to be the leader of his group of friends, in fact, when it comes to shrewdness, he is definitely not as shrewd as this Xiao Zhebie. The other party's emotional intelligence is not high, but at least he has some vision and is also a straightforward man. Brother Yaozi has said this. If he really went to rob the tomb, I guess he really admitted it.
So, I gently pulled Brother Yaozi and raised my chin towards the bowl of burnt glutinous rice: "What is going on? Just tell me clearly, otherwise this old man will not know the consequences."
"Lord Horse, the curse of the tomb robber..."
Brother Yaozi sighed: "How many tomb robbers have fallen into this trap, and finally died in a corner without a human or ghost. In the old society, people thought it was a plague, and even their own parents did not dare to collect the bodies. They could only throw some firewood and sticks on the body and burn it with fire."
This strange disease.
Brother Yaozi has really seen it.
The cause of the disease comes from the personal burial objects taken out of the tomb.
Someone robbed the tomb and took out the tomb's funerary objects, and then contracted this disease. In fact, it is not contagious. Whoever touches the funerary objects will get this disease.
At first, it was a boil similar to the one on Xiaozhebie's body. Gradually, the boil rotted and the skin and flesh all over the body were torn apart. It didn't hurt, but it itched. It was so itchy that people couldn't help scratching, and they scratched off a layer of skin and flesh. Many people scratched themselves to death after getting this disease. Some hard-hearted people couldn't help but commit suicide.
People always say that they don't know how many eyes the horse king has. The boils of this disease look like big eyeballs, so everyone calls this disease the horse king. People who have this disease also give it a very appropriate name, called the ghost eye Buddha.
Tell me, can the Buddha in the ghost's eyes still be called Buddha? I'm afraid it's a great enemy who wants to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. People only say that the big Buddha saves ghosts, but they don't think about what will happen if this Buddha can't save ghosts and falls into the hands of others...
The name of the ghost eye Buddha is also accurate. It probably means that this is the most vicious method of ghosts and gods.
I thought about it and said, "Do you think there is some mold on the burial objects?"
"It shouldn't be."
Brother Yaozi said, "If there is mold on it, then you should be infected immediately after touching the burial objects, but this disease... the onset time is not certain!"
He patiently explained that there are many tomb robbers who have this strange disease. Some of them were infected immediately after touching the burial objects, but there was another one who had taken a lot of gold leaves from a big tomb before. Later, because the front was too dangerous, he retreated. The gold leaves were in his hands for several years without any problem, but he was always thinking about the tomb in his heart. Later, he invited a few good friends and went down again. As a result, they still didn't get far. They couldn't break the tomb door inside, so they had to retreat. The two good friends who accompanied him died inside and got nothing. When he came out and played with the gold leaves again, he got this strange disease and died not long after.
"After all, it could be mold. Didn't you say that people who get this strange disease all took someone else's personal burial objects? Is there a possibility that this mold is grown on the body of the original owner after his death and attached to the burial objects? When it breaks out depends on the original owner's intention." Lao Bai said, "I've heard this before. Professional tomb robbers like Mojin Xiaowei regard going to the tomb as a game with ghosts and gods. Breaking the mechanism is a competition with the original owner. If you win, you should get something. So, you can take some things away appropriately. As for what to take and how much to take, you have to ask the tomb owner. The ceremony is not like what everyone says, people light candles and ghosts blow out the lights. It is actually much more complicated. But what exactly is going on is the secret of others. It is impossible to communicate directly with ghosts and gods by drinking too much. They do this to prevent this! In my opinion, your friend is too greedy! He was able to get the gold leaf before because the owner didn't want to bother with him. He didn't expect him to come back and piss him off, so he decided to kill him!"
This statement was quite novel, but Brother Yaozi didn't comment. He just shook his head and said he didn't know much about this kind of thing. Anyway, he was going to go to the tomb. The owner was in the tomb, so he just turned him over to eliminate future troubles. This was the safest way.
"After all, it's not like you'll suffer if you rob the tomb now, right?"
I asked again, and got Brother Yaozi's affirmation, so I nodded, thinking that he might have really wronged Xiao Zhebie. The other party's son had just died, and he definitely didn't have any intention of making money under his nose. It was really a bit unreasonable to say that he was going to rob the tomb.
I thought for a moment and asked Xiao Zhebie: "Brother, have you ever robbed a tomb before? Just relax and tell us, we only care about ghosts and gods, not human affairs."
"Little brother, believe me, I really didn't rob a tomb, not now, and even less in the past!"
Xiao Zhebie smiled bitterly and said: "This big brother just said that only people who touch the tomb objects will get this strange disease, which is not contagious, but now most of the village has this disease, we can't all rob tombs, right? To be honest, if life is not difficult now, we can't go into the mountains to get wild goods, we used to be honest herdsmen."
I believe this.
Nowadays, it's not easy to live, and everyone has their own suffering.
I sighed. At this point, I believe him a little, and there is no point in talking any more, but I am sure that there must be a tomb object in this pastoral area, and it is a tomb object that everyone can touch! !
Otherwise, it would be impossible to knock down so many people at once.
I instinctively thought of the legend of the holy mountain in the pastoral area. Could it be that the so-called holy mountain actually has a tomb inside, and someone has taken something out of the tomb?
In any case, this thing must be in the public area for everyone to use.
At that moment, I stood up and called Qi Ye to go out and take a look.
However, before leaving, my eyes fell on Xiao Zhebie's bed.
To be precise, my eyes fell on the pillow on the bed!
The pillow was covered with a pillowcase, but it looked long, narrow, and very high, very strange, and it didn't look like a pillow at all.
"Wait a minute!"
I saw that Xiao Zhebie and his wife were about to go back to bed, so I immediately stopped them and walked towards the pillow in two steps!
