Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 213: Prepare, Hope to Meet

After careful consideration, I felt that what Taoist Master Zhang said was right.

Ma Si failed to get the pair of horns, so he instead revealed the news of the God's Tomb to lure us into the cave.

Regardless of whether the Tomb of the Gods is real or fake, we are indeed moved.

We are also about to make final preparations to enter the cave.

He followed Ma Si's plan unconsciously.

Judging from the current situation, he wants to use us as cannon fodder to find the so-called tomb of the gods for him.

He won't let us die in vain before finding and digging up the tomb of the gods.

They may also go to great lengths to protect us.

This situation is quite interesting.

"In short, be prepared and bring as much as possible."

"Wu Geng will not survive today. I have to send him back to the village first. I can't let him die here."

Taoist Master Zhang stood up, made hand gestures, chanted an incantation, and shook the soul-calling bell.

Dangdang Dangdang!

As the bells rang, Wu Gengsheng's eyes slowly rolled up, and finally only the whites of his eyes were left.

"rise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Gengsheng stood up in a daze.

His movements were very stiff.

It really looks like a moving zombie.

"Lao Zhang, can you also drive corpses?" I asked in surprise.

"This isn't corpse-driving, but the corpse-driving method is also derived from Taoist magic."

"I won't go into details. I have to send him back quickly. If he dies outside, it will easily lead to trouble."

The trouble he called was not just the trouble of death.

If such a soulless person dies outside, it is easy for him to attract wandering ghosts and spirits, which may cause harm to others.

Send him back and let him die at home, then burn the body in time or perform ritual disposal to eliminate this risk.

"go!"

After Taoist Master Zhang said the word "go", Wu Gengsheng really started walking.

Clang, clang, clang.

He shook the bell and led Wu Gengsheng towards Miaowan Village.

He also reminded me: "It will take a whole night to bury Wu Gengsheng."

"Hurry up and get ready. See you at the cave entrance tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

I watched Taoist Master Zhang leave.

I returned to the camp only after I knew he was out of sight.

As soon as he returned, he was surrounded by Cui Hao and his two companions.

They asked about the situation in a flurry of questions.

"Brother, what did you find out?"

"Master Chen, I noticed something wasn't right with Wu Gengsheng when he left. Was he possessed by some evil spirit?"

"Why did Lao Zhang follow us? Should we pack up and leave too?"

I answered a few questions casually and looked at Old Man Su not far away.

Old Man Su didn't come over to join in the fun.

He sat cross-legged on a rock, head bowed, smoking his pipe.

This guy hasn't put down his pipe since last night.

The smoke coming out of his nose was almost as high as the chimney.

"Lao Su, why are you smoking all the time?"

"I've never seen you have such a strong smoking habit before."

I walked over to Old Man Su and sat down.

He quickly put down his pipe and grinned, "Hey, last night was so scary, I'm still in shock, smoking to calm down."

"Master Chen, I have to say thank you."

"In such a life-threatening situation, you refused to abandon me and even rushed over to take me with you..."

"I, Old Su, really don't know what to say."

"I can never repay you for saving my life."

As Old Man Su spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and he became emotional.

I quickly patted him on the back a few times.

"Don't say that."

"We are brothers who work together, so we can't just stand by and watch someone die."

"Wipe your tears quickly. You're not a beauty, so don't give me the 'nothing to repay' trick."

Wang Hu raised her orchid finger, pretending to be shy, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, I can never repay you for saving my life. I am willing to give myself to you."

“Puff, hahahaha!”

Cui Hao and the others were all laughing out loud at this scene.

I couldn't help laughing too.

Old Man Su quickly raised his arm to wipe away his tears, then picked up his pipe and hit Wang Hu on the butt.

"You little brat, you're making fun of me."

After this round of laughter, everyone's mood improved a lot.

I was planning to replenish some supplies before entering the cave, so I had to prepare them today.

In those days, all kinds of supplies were scarce.

Especially in the countryside, there are many things that cannot be bought even if you have money.

I still have to go to Shangluo area to see if I can buy the necessary safety ropes and other things.

I'd also like to treat everyone to a good meal.

"Cough cough."

I coughed twice to attract everyone's attention and then said, "I've agreed with Lao Zhang to go into the cave tomorrow."

"We need to prepare the supplies for entering the cave today. Let's brainstorm and see what else needs to be added."

"I'm just throwing out some ideas. I think we should also prepare a safety rope, a dagger, and a sheepskin airbag..."

The reason I mentioned the airbag made of sheepskin is that I thought of the sheepskin rafts in northern Shaanxi.

At that time, the means of transportation for people in northern Shaanxi to cross the Yellow River was sheepskin rafts.

It is made by sewing together a whole piece of sheepskin, inflating it into a cylindrical shape, then tying it under a bamboo raft and putting it in the water to make it float.

I think this kind of air bag can be taken with me when I go into the water.

It is equivalent to a simple gas cylinder, providing oxygen for a short time underwater.

This was a simple method because the era was too backward and ordinary people couldn't buy diving equipment even if they had the money.

Cui Hao and others also spoke, bringing up a bunch of things that could be used or not.

At the final summary, we were all dumbfounded.

If we take all these things with us, there is no way we can carry them all.

"We don't have three heads and six arms, so we can't carry so many things."

"Delete the unnecessary things..."

I'm going to cut out some of the bulky stuff.

Old Man Su put down his pipe and said, "We can drive a carriage in."

"Um?!"

"Can a carriage enter the cave?" I asked in surprise.

"Yes, the cave is wide and high, and the road inside is relatively flat. The carriage can enter without any problem."

"If you think a horse-drawn carriage is unsafe, you can get an ox-drawn cart."

A cow is much stronger than a horse.

Even if the road conditions are bad, the cows can still pull it.

This idea solved a big problem.

"Old Su, I'll leave this matter to you. Go rent a bullock cart and we'll load the stuff and set off."

"When we get to Shangluo, you might run into your Mengzi and your two grandsons."

When he mentioned Old Man Su's children and grandchildren, his cheeks twitched slightly.

Then he picked up the pipe and took two deep puffs.

After two streams of white smoke came out of his nostrils, he smiled and said, "I hope we can meet them. I miss them so much, even in my dreams."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to find the oxcart."

Old man Su left in a hurry.

Less than an hour later, he returned in a bullock cart.

The cow is tall and strong.

The cart it was pulling was also wide, much larger than an ordinary horse-drawn carriage.

"Master Chen, get in the car."

We hurriedly loaded our things into the car.

Old Man Su waved his whip, and the cow mooed twice, pulling the cart forward unsteadily.

As I was swaying, I started yawning and felt sleepy.

When I was so sleepy that my eyelids were about to close, I suddenly felt a blur in front of my eyes.

It seemed like I saw a paper head floating past me!
