Chapter 22 People light candles, ghosts blow out lanterns

Zhao Guang is already thirty-six years old this year.

He was born in Pingyang County, Yanshan County, Dajin. In his early years, he worked as a pharmacist in a mine, responsible for preparing gunpowder and blasting mines.

Later, the governor of Yanshan County led his troops to rebel and gathered all the craftsmen in the square to revolt. He took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Three years ago, Zhao Guang drifted to Juhe County, Lu County.

Because he had the means to prepare gunpowder and blast, he was recruited by a group of tomb robbers and started the business of tomb raiders.

At first, he felt that this matter was a loss of virtue and was somewhat resistant in his heart.

But as the number of tomb robberies increased, his accumulated wealth also increased. Because of his unique skills, he soon became the second in command of the tomb robbery gang and gradually became addicted to it.

Relying on the stolen goods obtained from tomb robbery, Zhao Guang bought a big house in the county town in just one year, married and had children, and also brought his old mother from the chaotic Yanshan County to support her.

In this chaotic world, Zhao Guang can live such a life can be said to be very happy.

Therefore, he thought about quitting more than once.

Especially after his son was born and his old mother was also taken over, this idea became stronger.

Unfortunately, the leader of the tomb robbery gang and others would not let him go.

The law of the Jin Dynasty stipulates that anyone who steals tombs will be killed without mercy!

Those who dare to do such things are all desperate criminals without exception.

As long as Zhao Guang dares to withdraw, even if he just mentions it, he may become a corpse the next day.

But just three days ago, the thief Wang Ba suddenly gathered a group of brothers and told them something.

Wang Ba said that after his careful surveys over the past few years, he has discovered the location of the tomb of the King of Lu.

As long as this deal is done, everyone will not have to worry about their lives, and they can also retire from the business of stealing tombs without having to risk being beheaded.

This made everyone, including Zhao Guang, excited.

King of Lu!

This is the prince of the county who was conferred when the Jin Dynasty was founded. The State of Lu is also a prosperous place in the world. The burial objects in the tomb of the King of Lu must be worth a fortune!

It might exceed the total amount they had obtained from tomb robberies in the past.

So, everyone hit it off!

After drinking and eating meat, Wang Ba and Zhao Guang brought a total of seven accomplices, took all the tools, and took advantage of the night to come to this large forest more than ten miles away from Juhe County.

Boom!

Accompanied by a huge explosion, a huge stone gate finally appeared in front.

Due to the violent explosion, cracks appeared in the stone gate.

Zhao Guang stood at the back of the team, smiled and nodded.

It was not him who used explosives to blast the passage of the tomb, but he was very satisfied with the power of the gunpowder he configured this time.

According to past experience, as long as cracks appear in the stone gate, the mechanisms in the tomb will be damaged a lot, which can greatly increase the chance of survival.

Judging from the size of the crack, it will not damage the buried treasures in the deeper layers.

"Hahaha, the second brother's gunpowder is getting better and better!"

Wang Ba laughed, turned to Zhao Guang and said, "From now on, your mother is my mother, and your wife and children are also my relatives.

"As long as they are in Juhe County, they will never be wronged!"

"Haha, thank you, big brother." Zhao Guang bowed and smiled.

He still depends on Wang Ba, thinking that he can get more after finishing this job, so he will naturally not offend this top leader.

But he always feels that what Wang Ba said just now seems a bit strange.

"Big brother, second brother, let's open the tomb door quickly and see what good treasures are inside. "

Yes, let's act quickly. Recently, many young disciples from martial arts sects have left the county, and they love to meddle in other people's business."

"The explosion just now was a bit loud. We'd better search quickly. This is the tomb of Prince Lu! Hahaha!"

Everyone chatted one after another, and immediately began to push the stone door together to open the tomb.

They all had skills, and with the combined efforts of five people, they quickly moved the stone door of the tomb of Prince Lu, which weighed thousands of pounds, to a gap more than two people wide.

"Haha, it's open! It's open! There are treasures ahead!"

Someone cheered, feeling that mountains of gold and silver were right in front of him, and he rushed directly through the gap.

"Damn it, don't try to get there first!"

"Wait a minute, I'm here! "

The other two also ran in.

Wang Ba and Zhao Guang were not in a hurry to go in.

This was their rule, the younger brothers went in first, and the two bosses went in later.

After the three people in front had gone in, the two of them took out lanterns, lit the candles inside, and slowly walked into the tomb passage.

The tomb of King Lu was built extremely gorgeously, almost according to the style of the royal palace when he was alive.

Even experienced tomb robbers like Wang Ba and Zhao Guang were amazed again and again, and they could see treasures that made them stunned with almost every step they took.

"Damn it, a treasure house, it's really a treasure house!" Wang Ba's eyes lit up, his voice trembled a little, and he smiled subconsciously, "Mine, it's all mine... ours! ”

“…” Zhao Guang, who was walking beside him, frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with Wang Ba today. He

seemed to be overexcited.

And he also found that there was no sound in front.

Those three guys seemed to be able to search quietly, and every time they made the tomb as noisy as a vegetable market.

"What's going on?" Wang Ba seemed to be confused as well. He looked at Zhao Guang beside him and thought to himself, "It shouldn't be time yet..."

At this moment -

"Ahhh!"

"Zongzi! Zongzi! !"

"Run!"

A terrified scream suddenly came from the front.

Then, three figures ran out of the tomb in front as if they were escaping for their lives.

All of them looked pale, as if they were extremely frightened.

"What happened?!" Wang Ba shouted, "Don't run!"

"There are zongzi?!" Zhao Guangze immediately became alert and took out a black donkey hoof from his pocket!

In a blink of an eye, the three rushed in front of the two.

"Big brother! Second brother! Hurry..."

The three wanted to shout, but their voices stopped abruptly. Their bodies twitched violently, and in a blink of an eye, Qi Liao bled to death!

Zhao Guang saw this and felt his scalp explode. He looked at Wang Ba beside him and said, "Brother, how about..."

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt dizzy and had severe cramps all over his body. He felt warm in his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other seven organs. He must be bleeding.

Bleeding from all seven organs!

"You?!" Zhao Guang looked at Wang Ba in disbelief with eyes wide open, full of anger and resentment.

"Haha, brother, go with peace of mind." Wang Ba turned to look at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered, "Everything here should have been mine!"

"Zong, Zongzi!" Zhao Guang suddenly exclaimed, his eyes staring straight at Wang Ba's back.

"What the hell is this Zongzi? There is no such thing in the world!" Wang Ba had robbed countless tombs and didn't believe in Zongzi at all. He mocked Zhao Guang while looking back.

But this look made him feel like he was struck by lightning.

He saw a young man in strange clothes slowly walking out of the dark and gloomy tomb and walking towards him step by step.

Someone!

There is someone!

In this tomb of King Lu that has been sealed for more than a hundred years, in addition to the people here, there is actually a sixth person!

Huh -

at this moment, a breeze blew in the tomb.

Wang Ba was horrified to find that the candle in his lantern was blown out.

People light candles!

Ghosts blow out the lanterns!

"No! Don't come over here!"

Wang Ba was so frightened that his face turned pale and he shouted in fear.

At this moment, he felt as if something in his head exploded, and a fear that was difficult to describe in words instantly filled his head!
