Tomb Raiders start to enter the Lu Palace

Everyone came back to the room with a big bowl of dried noodles, and they ate the dried meat and canned food. Everyone was sweating profusely with tears and snot flowing from the spicy food.

Halfway through the meal, the old man who cooked noodles for them was sweeping the floor with a broom. The accents of the audience were from other places, so he asked them if they were from the capital.

The old man's accent doesn't look like a local, his surname is Liu, and he is a foreigner.

Everyone handed him a cigarette and chatted with him for a while. It turns out that this old Liu's hometown is also from the capital, and he has lived in Gulan County for decades.

Seeing that everyone was drenched, he asked what was going on, as if they were being fished out of a pot.

The people had nothing to hide, so they told him about the process of crossing the river.

Old Liu took a puff of cigarette and said, "I saw that thing once when I was a child, but it was a half-big iron-headed dragon king that was dead, and it was stranded on the shore. The villagers said that such a big fish was the dragon king." The incarnations of all gathered by the river to burn incense and pray, hoping that the Dragon Lord will not blame him."

Hu Bayi asked for advice: "Uncle Liu, do you know what this kind of big fish is? Why does it feel like Wang Bacheng has become a master? Do you often see it in your area?"

Lao Liu waved his hand and said, "No, no, this thing is rare. I've only seen it once after living here for decades. I don't know the exact scientific name of this thing, I just know it's a big fish According to rumors, it is a kind of old soft-shelled turtle left over from the ancient times, and it has been extinct for thousands of years.”

Da Jinya asked: "Old Brother Liu, what happened to the Iron-headed Dragon King? Did he eat it, or what to do with it?"

Old Liu laughed and said, "Aren't you kidding? It's said to be the real body of Lord Dragon, and the bacon is old and hard. Who would dare to eat it? The villagers were worried that the corpse would cause a plague if left for too long, so they finally set it on fire."

Speaking of this, he said another episode, saying that when the iron-headed Dragon King was burned, a foreign businessman spent money to move the fish bones to the Longling Miku and built a fish bone temple.

However, the fishbone temple was only built two years before the incense was cut off, and the road was so far away that the villagers refused to go into the mountain to offer incense.

What's more, the Fishbone Temple never had a efficacious experience, and fewer and fewer people went to offer incense, and finally the incense was cut off.

Old Liu said: "Some people say that the out-of-town businessman is not sincere enough, or that he has done some immoral things before, and the Lord Dragon refuses to accept his incense."

Hearing this, Da Jinya sighed and said, "Oh, it's a pity, otherwise, if such a big fish bone is taken to a museum to make a specimen, it will definitely make a fortune."

After listening to Lao Liu's narration, Hu Bayi and Chen Hao looked at each other, and hurriedly asked Lao Liu to tell them the location of the fish bone temple, and they wanted to visit it.

Because the two of them knew that the Fishbone Temple must be tricky. Besides, there were many ancient tombs in that generation, and it was probably built to cover up the tomb robbery, so as not to attract the attention of others.

Thinking that there were still many things to ask Lao Liu, Hu Bayi hurriedly asked Fatty to go to a convenience store outside to buy a few bottles of wine, and some melon and fruit snacks to drink, and planned to ask Lao Liu well.

After waiting for a while, the fat man returned to the room with a few bottles of liquor and a large bag of snacks.

Everyone hurriedly filled Lao Liu with wine and asked him to talk carefully.

Old Liu was a heavy drinker. After a few glasses of white wine, he became a little drunk. After drinking, he uttered the truth and said a lot about local things.

Everyone learned from his mouth that some time ago, several tombs here were washed out by water, and they planned to go door to door to collect ghost artifacts in the homes of those fellow villagers when they returned.

Then there are rumors about some local ancient tombs. It is said that there is a large tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Longling Miku, but no one has found it for so many years.

They also asked about the location of the fishbone temple, and everyone recorded it with pen and paper, and then helped the drunk old Liu back to the room.

It was already 11:00 in the middle of the night, and everyone sat in the room and discussed it carefully. They planned to wait for a day or two of rest before setting off to Longling Miku to find the Fishbone Temple.

After discussing the plan, everyone hurried to the bathhouse of the guest house, took a hot bath, and fell asleep in a hurry.

382 Octopus Bone Temple

After a day's rest in Gulan County, on the third day, everyone took the address provided by Lao Liu into the mountain, walked the mountain road for a day, and came to the foot of the Longling Miku.

Da Jinya was very excited when he heard that he was going to fight. This was the first time he really participated in the fight. The feeling of anticipation and excitement was nothing to mention, and he hummed and sang along the way.

Chen Hao told them not to have too high expectations, the person who built the Fishbone Temple was an expert in the industry, and maybe all the good things in it were taken by others.

When they came to a place called Panshepo at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark at this time, so everyone had to find a local farmhouse to spend the night.

The farmer is a couple in their 50s. Seeing people carrying large and small bags, they asked them where they came from and what they wanted to do.

Hu Bayi made a pretense, saying that he was going to visit his comrades in the former army. They lived in this remote place, with no access to the village or store, and hoped that it would be convenient for them to stay overnight.

As he said that, he also took out 100 yuan from his wallet and gave it to the old couple. When the old couple saw so much money, they immediately nodded and agreed, invited them in, and packed up a house for them to live in.

The next morning.

Everyone ate the breakfast cooked by the old couple early, and left in a hurry with their things.

After walking for more than half a day, when the evening was approaching, the crowd came to the legendary Longling Cave with ravines.

Everyone stood on a small mountain and looked up at the surroundings. All they saw were earth beams, earth mounds, and ravines extending vertically and horizontally. The surroundings were undulating, and the yellow mud floor was full of potholes. At first glance, it looked like land. Covered with black spots.

"Gentlemen, how long will it take to get there? My legs are weak." Da Jinya asked panting.

Everyone took out the map to look at the route, and hurriedly told him that he would arrive in a few hours, and that the fishbone temple was hidden in one of the countless ravines.

The crowd walked for more than three hours along the route marked on the map, and finally found the dilapidated fish bone temple in one of the ravines.

Everyone took a closer look and found that the Fishbone Temple only had one temple, and there was no such thing as a backyard side hall at all. The statue of the Dragon King only had a base, and the upper body went somewhere.

The gate of the temple also disappeared, and everyone saw that the structure of the entire temple was indeed made of a pair of fish bones. Even today, this skeleton is still not decayed and weathered.

As soon as they entered the temple, several nests of mice inside were frightened and ran around. The mud on the walls had fallen off a lot, and there were holes everywhere. The roof was blown off.

Hu Bayi stood at the gate of the temple, compared the direction of the surrounding mountains, and said, "If this place is at the Feng Shui level, I will tear up the [-]-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique handed down from my ancestors when I go back!"

The fat man looked at the surrounding mountain ridges, and said, "Isn't this place pretty good? When the wind blows, it's like ghosts crying and wolves howling. The wind is there. The only thing missing is the water. There will be a few heavy rains next year, and there must be water in those ditches." , doesn't this form a geomantic treasure?"

Hu Bayi didn't bother to talk to him, the temple building in such a place has already violated Feng Shui Yin and Yang, and he was even more sure that this fish bone temple was built by Captain Mo Jin who pretended to be a foreign businessman.

The fat man asked puzzledly: "If it's really for the purpose of deceiving people, then there's no point in spending so much effort building a temple in such a poor valley, wouldn't it be enough to build a thatched shed?"

Hu Bayi explained: "That is to win the trust of the local people. Think about it, why would a foreigner come to this ravine to build a hut? The first starting point is that people will doubt your identity.

It’s different when you build a temple. Foreigners pay to build a temple to ensure safety and good weather. This is a good thing for the locals, and there are not so many people who are suspicious.

Besides, digging the big tomb was not easy, and it certainly couldn't be dug through overnight. The construction of this temple has gained a reputation.You can stay in the mountains all year round, digging for three and a half years without anyone suspecting, far better camouflage than any other buildings. "

After Fatty and Big Gold Tooth heard this, they suddenly realized that they couldn't help admiring the skill of the Captain Mojin who built this temple.

Next, Chen Hao and Hu Bayi came to the top of the back hill of Yubone Temple, looked up at the surrounding terrain, and judged the location of the ancient tomb.

Chen Hao performed the secret technique of developing mounds, watched the stars and the moon, and examined the dragon's veins, and soon found out the exact location of the ancient tomb, which was underground three miles southwest of the Fishbone Temple.

Hu Bayi's speed was far from that fast. He used the dragon-seeking tactic for more than half an hour, but he still couldn't determine the exact location of the ancient tomb. He only knew that it was within a radius of 20 miles.

Chen Hao didn't want to waste time, so he quickly pointed him in the direction. Hu Bayi exhausted all his skills to analyze, and found that the location was indeed where Chen Hao pointed, and immediately gave him a thumbs up.

The two walked to the top of the ancient tomb and dug a hole with an engineering shovel. They found that the bottom was all sandstone, and only the surface was covered with a layer of hard mud. No wonder the location of the robbery hole had to be drilled in the Fishbone Temple.

Digging the hole from the direction of the Fishbone Temple, although the amount of work is relatively large, the excavation speed is much faster. It is difficult to dig through that kind of rock formation without professional excavating machinery.

Chen Hao knew the location of the robbery hole. It was on the side behind the base of the Dragon King statue. It was the robbery hole that Jin Abacus had already dug. Now they happened to pick up a ready-made one and go directly along the robbery hole.
