Touching my complete body, I actually felt a sense of pride, as if I had broken the arrow array.
But this is indeed inseparable from my dedication!
I silently comforted myself in my heart, but when I looked at Lao Jiang and He Lanxue on the side, I couldn't help but look envious. Lao Jiang noticed the look in my eyes and laughed loudly: "Don't look at me like that, kid, you will definitely be better than me in ten years!"
"Stop making fun of me." I thought Lao Jiang was deliberately mocking me, but I didn't expect Lao Jiang to be serious. He said that I am of the Wen Tao bloodline, and my talents are beyond ordinary people. Now I have obtained the "Thirty-Six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Seas" from my ancestors.
The future fortune will definitely far surpass him.
Silver bells came skipping over, and the jingling sound made people feel happy. Seeing that the arrow array was broken, Platoon Leader Zhang also led people to escort Lin Jianye and others over.
After meeting us, they couldn't help but praise Lao Jiang and He Lanxue.
Qiu Xiuxiu was more concerned about the relationship between He Lanxue and Lao Jiang: "Mr. Jiang calls you Ximei, are you brothers and sisters? Or is there something else?"
Old Jiang coughed and his face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
However, He Lanxue ignored him and walked forward.
After walking a few steps, when He Lanxue pushed open a small stone door at the end of the corridor, our eyes suddenly opened up, and a depression as big as several football fields appeared in front of us.
The entire depression is covered with black soil, with no grass growing on it, like a huge ghost claw extending towards the west.
Even the top of the tomb felt like it had expanded upwards by more than ten meters, making us feel like we had entered another world!
This tomb is beyond our knowledge. Generally speaking, there is a tomb after the corridor, but now we can’t see the tomb at all.
Lao Jiang said: "That may be because we haven't touched the edge of the Wang Tomb yet, and are still on the edge of the Yin Ruins..."
This time, the archaeological team members all learned wisely and did not dare to rush in blankly. Instead, they each held fire in the Western Zhou Dynasty, waiting for Lao Jiang's order.
After taking a quick look around, Lao Jiang said there was no danger and took us down to the depression!
But what we didn't expect was that the bottom of such a huge depression was actually covered with red things. Those red things were particularly conspicuous on the black soil. When we got closer, we discovered that they were actually many rusty red armors.
"This is the first time I have seen someone buried with so much armor." Another archaeological expert said, pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
The expert's name is Du Wenbin, who specializes in bronze research. He looks elegant, but he speaks very little along the way.
Du Wenbin's words were agreed by many people. Qiu Xiuxiu asked Lao Jiang if it was because the King of Shang was martial that he was buried in armor.
Lao Jiang shook his head: "This is not a burial. It was clearly a tragic battle! This army came here for some reason, but was ambushed by some unknown object, and was eventually annihilated..."
Even after hundreds of thousands of years, the traces of the bloody battles left by those who fled for their lives are still deep in the soil, and there are still several bows and arrows stuck in many places.
This reminds me of an ancient poem: If you want to drive away the light cavalry, the heavy snow will cover your bow and knife.
Expert Lu Baoping asked: "Are the people who built the tomb simulating a war? Otherwise, why are there only armors and no corpses here? Hundreds of people died in the battle, so there can't be even a single skeleton."
"No! These don't seem to be the armies of the Shang Dynasty." Qiu Xiuxiu suddenly raised the key to the problem: "As far as I know, the Shang Dynasty army never wore red armor. The dynasty that likes to wear red armor the most since ancient times should be..."
Before Qiu Xiuxiu finished speaking, Baishui had already jumped into the depression. After just a few glances, he said in shock: "Tang Dynasty! These armors are from the Tang Dynasty, and they are the Mingguang Armor worn by the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty! "
Du Wenbin couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Tang Dynasty? Isn't this the Yin Ruins? How can there be armor from the Tang Dynasty? This is more than 1,600 years old."
When I heard this, I immediately looked at Old Jiang, but I saw that Old Jiang was not surprised at all. It seemed that he already had all the answers in his heart.
Lao Jiang jumped down into the depression with a dark face, lifted up a heavy armor, tore off something on the chest of the armor, and threw it towards me: "Boy, do you still recognize this thing?"
My eyes immediately lit up: "I know you, how could I not know you!"
This is a rotten badge with six ferocious monsters engraved on it, just like the tattoo on my back.
I think it was because of this tattoo that I opened Wen Tao's copper box.
"If I remember correctly, you once told me that this is the military emblem of Wen Tao's Dizi Army. In other words, these people who died in the battle..."
Having said this, I looked at Lao Jiang, who nodded at me: "Yes, this is the military emblem of the Digging Army - the Six Underworld Beasts. Coupled with the equipment on their bodies, these people should be the ones who followed us at the beginning. The diggers who went to Wen Tao’s grave!”
With Lao Jiang's guidance, I instantly discovered that the most equipped item in this army was not swords, but a large number of tomb robbing tools. There are not only shovels and shovels, but also ropes, grappling hooks, and the long-tip bows that they are best at.
We have already experienced how powerful the archery skills of these digging troops are from the young people in Lei Town. It can almost be said that their arrows are all in vain.
I don't know why, but when he heard that it was related to Wen Tao, Lin Jianye immediately came over and said, "What do you mean, this is Wen Tao's Dizi Army?"
Lao Jiang glanced at him and did not intend to explain, but Qiu Xiuxiu and others also became interested and asked: "Mr. Jiang, when you were looking for the tomb, you said that you were inspired by Wen Tao's notes and used the stars in the sky. We found the place of the Destiny Black Bird. Now there are traces of Wen Tao in this tomb. Can you tell me more about the notebook? "
In the past, Lao Jiang could still fool him by saying it was not the right time. But now that a large number of Dizi Army armors have appeared, Lao Jiang can only briefly mention the notes.
He said that we got the last words by chance. Wen Tao had robbed countless tombs, but only the Yin Ruins made him return with hatred, and it became a knot in his heart!
Unfortunately, Wen Tao was killed by the emperor not long after, so he secretly recorded the method of finding the tomb, so that future generations would have the opportunity to fulfill his wish.
"These armors should be part of the digging army that failed to rob the tomb." Lao Jiang sighed and said.
Lin Jianye asked again: "Each of these armors are complete, with helmets and gauntlets. They don't seem to have been abandoned when escaping. But what about the people in these armors? Even if the corpses rot, there must be one left. Two bones."
Lin Jianye was right. The armor didn't look like it had been taken off. Instead, it looked like the people inside had disappeared inexplicably. But with such a large number of armors, there should be at least two to three hundred diggers.
Moreover, they were the most elite tomb robbers at that time, so what happened to them that led to their annihilation?
Even the corpses of the dead were gone, leaving only pieces of armor.
Mysteries were placed in front of us one after another, and the archaeological team members were all looking forward to getting a reasonable explanation from Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang shook his head and said: "Wen Tao's last words were left through the memorial. We have worked so hard, but we have only cracked half of it. We can't understand the specific situation at all. I only remember that there is this sentence in it: Only then On the first day, I lost more than 300 people, and all the people behind the first door were red devils..."
I said: "I think the loss that Wen Tao is referring to is the army at our feet, but what is the red devil? I don't seem to have seen it from just now to now."
Lao Jiang squinted his eyes and looked around. Wherever he went, I would follow him.
After all, Lao Jiang’s side is the safest place!
As a result, Lin Jianye seemed to be very interested in Wen Tao's notes. He actually followed us, asking about it as we walked, hoping to see the memorial with his own eyes, maybe he could decipher it.
Lao Jiang turned his head and glanced at him, and then said: "If you really know the obituary, when you go back, you can practice in seclusion in the small dark room in the camp! After all, there are many obituaries written by madmen in it. "
"This is too troublesome. Mr. Jiang, you are good at everything, but you are too defensive! I mean to help, but why do you always turn away people thousands of miles away."
Lin Jianye showed a very hurt expression. Qiu Xiuxiu wanted to say a few words to Lao Jiang, but Lao Jiang pretended to be looking for something in the depression and pretended not to hear.
But except for those red armors, there is nothing red here.
Not to mention the devil, there is not even a blade of grass.
We walked all the way looking for it, with Lin Jianye and several archaeological experts behind us. After a while, Platoon Leader Zhang suddenly pointed at a huge hole in the depression and shouted: "Look, what is that?"
Lao Jiang took a closer look, his eyes lit up and said: "Steal the cave!"
Then a burst of laughter broke out: "Wen Tao, Wen Tao, I, Old Jiang, have underestimated you! I said that there were no signs of foreign enemies invading the previous levels. It turns out that you skipped those levels. The first step was to dig a tunnel to get here, which is really smart. "
Lao Jiang was full of praise for Wen Tao. You must know that this little cleverness was not mentioned in his last words. He didn't know whether he was wary of outsiders or even his own descendants wanted to test him deliberately.
If you have the ability to find the thief hole, you can save trouble. If you are a leader, then go all the way through.
Baishui didn't like Wen Tao very much: "What kind of tomb robber king is he? He's just a destroyer!"
Lao Jiang subconsciously looked at me, and I did not refute. Although Wen Tao was my ancestor, many of his actions were indeed undesirable. Besides, there are so many outsiders, and I’m not stupid enough to expose my identity in front of them.
"Since there is no so-called red devil here, maybe it was eliminated by Wen Tao, let's move on."
After saying this, Lao Jiang shook out another cigarette. The strange thing was that although there was still one cigarette in the cigarette box, he pretended not to see it. He crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and threw it into the robbery hole. inside.
But this action was done by Lao Jiang deliberately hiding behind me, as if there was another layer of deep meaning in it!
Lin Jianye originally stretched his neck to look around, but Yin Ling'er just happened to stretch his waist. When he was jumping up and down, the big bamboo basket was caught off guard and bumped into Lin Jianye's body, causing him to take several steps back.
I didn't have time to pay attention to them. I looked at the cigarette case that Lao Jiang had thrown away, but Lao Jiang grabbed it back. At the same time, he did not forget to give me a warning look, as if to say: Don't look, lest I provoke others.
So, is there something wrong with the cigarette case?
Without waiting for me to ask anything, Lao Jiang had quietly drawn a symbol on the palm of my hand.
The symbol has a circle outside and a dot inside.
As if I had been given a warning, I suddenly looked at Old Jiang, only to see Old Jiang nodded slightly towards me!
