The mage in the city wants to practice Taoism

Chapter 31 Encounter with Tomb Robbers

Sitting cross-legged on the wind futon, the wind blows from time to time, floating in the air more than ten meters, and at first glance, it looks like a fairy.

But when there is wind, especially when there is strong wind, the whole person will float in the direction of the wind.

Xi Mengxiu was a little dumbfounded. He had never noticed this before. The initial testing had been done indoors. After the samples were built, the test site chosen was also the test site of Qingyuan Group. The focus was on test balance, test direction control, and test speed. , I never expected that high-altitude wind would have such a great impact on directional deviation.

If there is a windy day in the north or a typhoon on the seaside...it would be uncomfortable to think about it. I wonder how Xun Shouyan's crane flew in that kind of weather?

I took out my mobile phone and looked at the location: Luoshui Town, Xuya County, Baiyan City. Baiyan City is where the old dog Yang Erlang borrowed the road to go home. It is adjacent to Huanhua City. Xuya County is even closer to Huanhua City. I have never heard of Luoshui Town.

Checking the map, it turned out that it was more than a hundred kilometers away from Huanhua City. Looking at the winding route on the mobile map software, Xi Mengxiu breathed a sigh of relief. He canceled the travel mode and looked at the straight-line distance. Fortunately, it was less than forty kilometers... So how high did it fly before? How slow is the landing? How far was it blown by the wind?

It has to be said that the development of modern science and technology and the popularization of products are really good. If it were replaced by ancient times, one's eyes would be darkened and one would not know the location, direction, or distance at all...

I looked at the time on my phone again and saw that it was almost four o'clock in the morning. It took more than an hour to have such a high-altitude experience!

Shaking his head and sighing introspectively, he drove the Fengxing futon in a straight line towards home.

It doesn't fly very high, just over ten meters. The speed is not very fast either, it is about the same speed as an ordinary electric car. Because I look at the direction of the phone from time to time, the screen of the phone is tilted upward, and the fluorescence of the screen shines right on my face.

The ground was pitch black, and suddenly there were cries of panic.

Xi Mengxiu was startled, and accidentally pressed the switch with his hand to turn off the screen of his mobile phone. He controlled the Fengxing futon to rise higher, hovering and turning around.

Below is a low hill, and the terrifying screams just now were about ten or twenty meters away.

Xi Mengxiu stepped forward slowly. Several people dressed in pitch-black hugged each other and screamed and cursed. They turned on flashlights and flashed them around. This was the darkest time. Occasionally, the flashlight light flashed across the black chassis of Fengxing Futon. , can’t tell the difference either.

Listening to the talk below about a ghost, and a voice swearing that there was a ghostly face rushing towards them... Xi Mengxiu could only be speechless.

What's more, they are curious. These people see cats in the wild at night, wearing black clothes, and don't turn on the flashlight. Doesn’t look like a good person!

Sure enough, I heard someone trembling underneath and saying something about blowing out the lamp. That grimace must be a sign that the owner of the tomb is angry, otherwise he would not do this job...

Grave robber!

The following is still arguing that the holes have been dug and the buyer's deposit has been collected. The more Xi Mengxiu listened in the sky, the more he felt something was wrong. Someone placed an order before these people even picked up the items? !

Then it seemed that because money was mentioned, several people held the flashlights around for a while and saw nothing. They actually unanimously agreed that the grimace just now was a phosphorus fire, and it was the angle that made it look like the same face. Even the one who screamed the loudest just now was trembling and did not dare to object. Instead, he kept encouraging and hinting to himself, "There is no ghost, it is phosphorus fire!"

Xi Mengxiu sighed secretly in the sky, "He is also a talent!"

I wanted to intimidate these local masters and drive them away, but I also felt a little strange about their behavior. It is said that most tomb robbers are ruthless people, and these few are a bit timid. I am also worried that since someone has placed an order and a hole has been dug for theft, there may still be trouble in the future.

In fact, it was Xi Mengxiu who became curious and wanted to see how these people robbed the tomb, and also wanted to see what the ancient tomb looked like. Is it as mysterious and suspenseful as in the film and television novels?

The people below unified their thoughts and felt that the ventilation time of the robbery cave was long enough to go to the tomb. However, they still carefully put on their breathing masks and then carefully filed into the cave.

Of the five people, one strong person was left to guard outside, while the other four people all got in.

Xi Mengxiu waited for a while and turned behind the tall and strong guy. Unexpectedly, he got closer. The big man immediately turned around and turned on his flashlight to take a photo. What a risk, he was looking at the bottom of the Fengxing futon, Xi Mengxiu immediately raised a few meters to avoid it.

He deliberately circled twice at a high place. As soon as he got a little closer, the big man immediately became alert. Xi Mengxiu was just helpless. The big man was frightened and trembling a little. He wanted to pull the rope holding the bell down by his companion several times.

Seeing the big man listening attentively, Xi Mengxiu looked at the popular futon under his seat and sighed helplessly. Although the five-wheel disc fan on the chassis did its best to muffle the sound, there was still a slight sound. The quieter it is, the better it can be. Listen clearly, this is why I originally called it an induction cooker.

Turning behind the big man again, but not getting close, green light floated in the palms, and a translucent green insect that looked like a wasp and a fly flew out and quickly fell to the big man. When it came into contact with the body, it dissipated and adhered to the big man. The big man was swaying limply and sleeping on the ground.

Yaoyao gave the big man a sleepy bug, and Xi Mengxiu approached the thief's cave. At first glance, these local masters are quite professional, with a lot of traditional and modern tools. There are shovels, picks, knives, axes, pliers, scissors, and electric hammers and drills with batteries... I casually opened a backpack with five or six walkie-talkies lying inside, a bunch of batteries, a bunch of connecting cables and so on.

It's strange, why don't these people use walkie-talkies?

Pull back the curtain that covers the burglary hole and insert a glow stick inside. No wonder the curtain is used to block the light. It is easy to attract attention if it shines for a long time. In this situation, there was no need for the flashlight, so I put the flashlight I had taken away back.

The robber cave is quite big, but you have to squat half-crouched to walk. The nylon rope used by the first few tomb robbers in the sloping cave is still shaking against the cave wall from time to time. If Xi Mengxiu also uses this rope, he will definitely be noticed. arrive. After thinking about it, he lay down on the wind futon with his hands and legs hanging in the air, and then carefully controlled the wind futon to move forward slowly.

After drilling through the robbery hole for more than ten meters, it turned out to be a hole opened above the wall of the tomb passage. The tomb passage was vertically downward. There were lights and shadows shaking from time to time in the tomb passage. Slowly descending into the tomb passage, Xi Mengxiu was simply shocked by the tomb passage in front of him.

There are actually such grand tombs in reality! The tomb passage is three meters wide and high. It has beams and columns. The top is like a bridge arch. The beams and pillars are staggered. Inexplicable patterns are carved on the top and wall. It doesn't look like a tomb passage, but rather like the corridor of a wealthy family in ancient times.

It's not like what is said in novels, movies and TV shows that the tomb passage has various mechanisms. Looking at the ground of the tomb passage, apart from the earth and rocks that fell from the robbery hole and a few scattered light sticks, there are only the footprints of the four tomb robbers. There are no mechanisms at all. Arrows, hidden weapons and the like.

Change your posture to a sitting position, and continue to drive the Fengxing Futon for more than ten meters. It is a huge and empty space, covering hundreds of square meters. In the middle is a strange decorative stone platform, with several tomb robbers setting torches on the stone platform. Maybe it's to check the oxygen content in the air, maybe it's just for lighting.

This space does not look like a tomb, but rather like a garden, decorated with pavilions and tree trunks that have long since died. There are several roads inlaid with stone slabs on the ground. The ground outside the roads is made of soil and has been completely dehydrated and decayed by nature. The remains of muddy flowers and plants. At the edge of the space is a corridor connecting the tomb passages.

The flashlights of several tomb robbers inside were swaying, and they were obviously looking for precious and valuable things. Xi Mengxiu walked along the corridor. On the other side of the garden-like space facing the tomb passage was a mottled wall. In the middle of the wall was a square hollow - very similar to the structure of inlaid panels and door panels in old classical buildings. It looks less and less like a tomb!

Several tomb robbers were rummaging through the space inside the hollow, and a square wooden product was pulled and turned over by one person. It seemed that they couldn't tell what it was.

Seeing the rude behavior of the tomb robbers, and fearing that they would damage something valuable for research, Xi Mengxiu rubbed his fingers, and four sleepy bugs flew out of his palms, looking for several tomb robbers who looked like nocturnal thieves. Watching the four people fall asleep, Xi Mengxiu stepped forward and took the flashlight from one person's hand, and turned it back to the garden-like space outside.

He wanted to take a closer look at this strange tomb.
