Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 416: Insect Tide, Mummies

Accompanied by a teeth-aching crunching sound.

Half of the courtyard door slowly turned.

I stared at the swinging door and held my breath nervously.

Could the person who opened the door really be a ghost?!

The gate of the courtyard was pushed open little by little.

I didn't see the hand that pushed the door open.

It seemed as if the gate was blown open by the wind.

But how could the wind only open half the door?

No, it's definitely not the wind.

Could it be that I can’t see the ghost pushing the door…

I moved as I thought about it, and unconsciously stood behind Huang Ziran.

As the old saying goes, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Huang Ziran is superior to me in both status and ability.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with hiding behind him.

Huang Ziran glared at me and said disdainfully, "Are you scared already?"

I laughed dryly.

Rubbing his arm covered with goose bumps, he said, "It's a bit cold in the yard. I'm standing next to you to borrow some Yang energy."

"Borrow some ass yang energy!"

Huang Ziran stood up cursing.

He walked towards the gate and said, "One must be brave and upright in life."

"Ghosts are shit!"

"The more you fear it, the more it will scare you, bully you, and even try to kill you."

"But as long as you have the courage to fight hard."

"It will be afraid of you, terrified of you, and terrified of you!"

When the last word "you" was uttered, Huang Ziran had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.

He raised his foot and kicked hard at the gate that was opening.

Bang!

Snapped!

The gate of the courtyard was kicked with a loud bang.

It crashed into the courtyard wall at high speed and bounced back.

Paji.

The gate bounced back and closed.

In an instant, there was dead silence inside and outside the courtyard.

It was as if the gate had never been opened.

I was stunned.

I thought to myself, the weird thing that pushed the door just now really frightened Huang Ziran?

As soon as this thought came to mind, I heard a snap.

The tightly closed courtyard door seemed to have been hit by an external force and collapsed inward with a loud bang.

boom!

The door fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Huang Ziran, who escaped the disaster by retreating in panic, covered his mouth and nose with his hands in embarrassment to avoid inhaling the raised dust.

I didn't have time to observe Huang Ziran's situation.

He quickly turned his head and looked outside the yard.

There was no one outside the yard.

There is only the dirt road in the village and the closed gate opposite.

wrong……

Why is there no sound of insects?

Can’t you hear the voices of the villagers?

It was just getting dark, and it was the time for the villagers to chat about family matters.

How is it possible that there is no sound at all?

Moreover, even though the gate collapsed and there was such a loud noise, none of the neighbors came out to check what happened.

Something is wrong!

There's something wrong with this village!

I took a deep breath and reached into my bag with my right hand to hold the sachet.

It is said to be a sachet, but it actually contains jade album pages.

Yes, it’s the jade album leaf obtained from the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong Island.

According to the Taoist priests in the Wong Tai Sin Temple, the talismans engraved on the back of the jade album will automatically activate to protect me when my life is in danger.

Holding the jade album, I felt more confident.

I plucked up my courage and walked out of the yard.

I want to see what’s going on in this village!

Getting closer and closer to the door frame.

My heart beat faster and faster.

I always feel like there's something very dangerous outside the door.

tread!

I stepped out of the hospital with my right foot.

His upper body then leaned out.

Without the obstruction of the courtyard wall, the view is much wider.

The adjacent yard was quiet.

There wasn't even any light.

It seemed as if no one lived in those yards.

I frowned and looked further away.

In the dim night light, a thick black fog surged forward like a tide, as if it was going to swallow up the entire village.

The direction from which the dark fog came.

It is exactly the direction of the Western Zhou tomb outside the village!

This is definitely no coincidence!

Could it be that what Uncle Zheng was talking about is the pitch-black thick fog?

Or maybe it's in the dark and thick fog!

"Um?!"

I heard Huang Ziran's puzzled voice behind me.

He also walked out of the yard.

Staring intently at the dark fog that invaded the village.

He whispered, "Insect tide?"

I asked in confusion, "What insect swarm?"

Huang Ziran pointed at the black fog and said, "Can't you see that the surging black fog is made up of insects?"

"The unusually dense movement of insects, like a tidal wave, has been defined by the bureau as an insect swarm."

"The locust plagues and other situations that have occurred in history are all insect tides."

That black mist is a bug?!

My eyes widened.

But the light was too dim on a moon-covered night, and no matter how hard I opened my eyes, I couldn't see clearly.

Perhaps we can only see clearly when the black fog approaches.

And now is not the time to worry about whether it is a bug or not.

We must find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible.

I asked directly, “Is there a solution?”

"If there's no way to solve it, let's just run from that side."

I pointed to the end of the village.

Everything was normal over there, without even a speck of black fog.

Huang Ziran shook his head: "Going that way will lead to death faster."

"We are probably in the formation."

"If you can't break the core of the formation, you'll be dead no matter how you move forward."

He then laughed at himself and said, "I really underestimated the heroes of the world."

"This Zheng family actually has more than just tomb robbing heritage."

I was silent for a while.

You underestimated the heroes of the world, and you and I suffered an unprovoked disaster.

If I can't break the formation, won't I lose my life?

No, I can't die here...

"Huang...brother-in-law."

I wanted to call him from the Yellow Team.

But remembering his previous instruction for me to call him brother-in-law, I changed my words.

"Or we can kick down the door and force Uncle Zheng to tell us how to break the formation."

What I think is to capture the leader first.

Uncle Zheng is still hiding in the house.

Even if he blocked the door with something, we could still climb in through the window and catch him.

Dealing with people is always much easier than dealing with formations.

Huang Ziran turned his head and looked towards the main hall.

He pondered and said, "Okay."

"Catch the man named Zheng and give him a thorough trial."

We turned back into the yard and went straight to the main hall.

When he was still a few steps away from the main hall, Huang Ziran suddenly accelerated.

He kicked the door.

Bang!

Crash!

The old door was kicked down.

Huang Ziran fell into the house as the door collapsed.

I hurried over.

After entering the house, I suddenly felt a chill in my face.

It was as cold as entering an ice cave, and I shivered several times.

Don’t say it’s only September.

Even in the coldest days of winter, it wouldn’t be this cold!

Then I saw a rope hanging in the middle of the main room.

Zheng Erbo's chin was tied up in a rope, and his body was swinging back and forth and left and right in circles.

He hanged himself!

"Fuck!" I couldn't help but curse.

This old blind man is such a liar!

After you cheat us, you'll hang yourself?

What is going on?

No, we can’t let him die so easily!

I think he must have been hanging for a very short time.

Get him off the rope, maybe he can be rescued.

Just as I was about to get Uncle Zheng down, Huang Ziran struck a match.

Swish.

The match head lit up with a small light.

Then the oil lamp was lit.

The dark room was illuminated by oil lamps.

At this time, I saw Uncle Zheng's face clearly.

Half of his tongue hung out of his open mouth.

Obviously dead.

No, that's not right!

His tongue looked very dry, like a dried raisin.

The surface of the tongue is covered with wrinkles caused by dryness.

His mouth and cheeks looked like they had been dried for a long time!

This is a mummy!

But the appearance of this mummy is extremely similar to that of Zheng Erbo!

Could it be that the person who just spoke to us... was this hanging mummy? !

But how can a mummy move and speak like a normal person? !
