Chapter 048 The Mysterious Village
Hu Bin and his party went to Mohe just to find the legendary Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. To say that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in Lishan Mountain is not the place where the real dragon is located may be true or false. To say that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is in a bitter cold place outside the pass is indeed a bit ridiculous.
During the Warring States Period, the Yan State area had always been regarded as a bitter and cold place. How could Qin Shihuang, the emperor of all ages, build his mausoleum in the Yan State? Moreover, Ying Zheng began to build the mausoleum very early. After the Yan State was destroyed, Prince Dan
After being executed, King Yan Xi fled to Liaodong, and was later captured by the Qin army, and the Yan Kingdom was destroyed. From this point of view, at least for a long period of time, it was impossible for the Qin State to build a mausoleum on the territory of the Yan Kingdom.
People with a little knowledge of history can know the truth and falsehoods. It is impossible for Hu Bin not to see it. Knowing that he cannot do it must mean that there is a deeper secret. Moreover, the map on the tripod of the ancient tomb is from the guardian of the tomb.
The painstaking efforts to seal it there cannot be groundless. Perhaps the map does not point to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, but a clue to find the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
Hu Bin called everyone up early the next morning. His expression seemed very anxious.
Yelu Qinghui crawled out of his sleeping bag and asked, "What's the matter? You woke someone up like that?"
Hu Bin said with a gloomy face: "Zhao Zhen is missing."
As soon as these words came out, Yelu Qinghui's expression suddenly changed, and Li Dongjie asked: "When did you find out?"
Hu Bin thought for a moment and replied: "I haven't seen him since I woke up. At first I thought he was going to take care of personal hygiene, but I waited for more than an hour and he still hasn't come back, so I just
Called you all up."
Yelu Qinghui smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone. Zhao Zhen may have gone to find the entrance. He didn't tell us and asked us to wait for him here."
Gao Yuhan glanced at everyone, stood up, and said, "I know where he went."
Everyone looked at Gao Yuhan, and Hu Bin asked, "How did you know?"
Gao Yuhan smiled bitterly and said, "I watched him leave last night."
Yelu Qinghui took a step forward and walked to Gao Yuhan's side. He looked at Gao Yuhan, as if he didn't know him. It's no wonder that Gao Yuhan had always had a playful smile yesterday, but now he has suddenly become much more mature. Indeed,
It's a bit hard to get used to.
Yelu Qinghui asked: "You watched Zhao Zhen leave yesterday, why didn't you stop him?"
"I also want to stop him, but I am ashamed of him and I am not qualified to stop all his activities."
When Gao Yuhan said this, Li Dongjie was a little confused and asked directly: "Aren't you Hu Bin's cousin? How could you be ashamed of Zhao Zhen?"
Gao Yuhan asked: "What do you think about me and Hu Bin?"
After listening to Gao Yuhan's words, Li Dongjie looked at Gao Yuhan and Hu Bin carefully, looked at them for a long time and shook his head.
Seeing Gao Yuhan say this, Hu Bin lost his composure and said directly: "Let's clean up quickly. The time now is 7:32 in the morning. Let's wait for Zhao Zhen for another half hour, which is eight o'clock sharp. If he
If you haven't come back yet, we'll set off and look for the entrance." After that, he started to pack his luggage.
When everyone saw Hu Bin speaking, the three of them started packing their luggage without saying anything.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Zhao Zhen still didn't come back. At this time, Hu Bin started to beat a small drum in his heart. He glanced at the lush mountains in the distance, shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
The allotted time has come, and no one said to wait a while, so I put my equipment on my back and started to move forward.
On the way, Hu Bin took out a map from time to time to correct the route. However, they walked all afternoon and only advanced about five miles of mountain road.
The four of them sat on the ground and started breathing heavily.
Li Dongjie first spoke: "When are we going to arrive? Hu Bin, didn't you say it's easy to find? What's going on now?"
Hu Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead and then
He glanced at the map and replied: "It's not far away. It's very obvious on the map. I just took a look at the surrounding situation and compared it with the terrain on the map. We are now in the hinterland of Longhu Mountain, that is,
We have reached the middle of Longhu Mountain. If we walk forward for about half an hour, we can find the entrance." After saying that, he took off the kettle from his waist, opened the lid and took a sip of water.
Yelu Qinghui slowly moved to Hu Bin's side, took the map from his hand, took a look at it, and said, "We are indeed in the middle, but I see there are still endless mountains ahead."
Gao Yuhan stood up, put a tent on his forehead with his hands, and looked into the distance.
Suddenly he saw a figure shaking in front of him. Gao Yuhan pulled the telescope from Li Dongjie's neck and put it over his eyes to look at the spot where the figure was found.
Li Dongjie was pulled by Gao Yuhan like this. Because the telescope was hung around his neck, Gao Yuhan dragged him away without saying hello. The strap of the telescope rubbed Li Dongjie's neck, and Li Dongjie suddenly jumped up in pain. He left.
When he arrived at Gao Yuhan's side and was about to have a seizure, Gao Yuhan handed the binoculars to Hu Bin and said, "Zhao Zhen is in front, I saw him."
After hearing what Gao Yuhan said, Hu Bin immediately took the telescope and looked in the direction he pointed, and found that Zhao Zhen was indeed in front of them. Just when Hu Bin was about to tell everyone to get up and chase him, he saw Zhao Zhen in the distance.
Zhao Zhen disappeared. Hu Bin was puzzled for a moment, raised his telescope and looked again, and found that Zhao Zhen had really disappeared.
Hu Bin threw the telescope to Li Dongjie, picked up the equipment and chased in that direction.
Yelu Qinghui saw that Hu Bin was suddenly so excited and didn't know what had happened. He also saw Gao Yuhan carrying his equipment, so he asked: "What's wrong? What happened? Have you found the entrance?"
Gao Yuhan looked back at Yelu Qinghui and replied: "We didn't find the entrance, but we saw Zhao Zhen."
Yelu Qinghui suddenly jumped up from the ground and asked anxiously: "Is it true?"
Gao Yuhan didn't answer, so he picked up his equipment and left. Yelu Qinghui saw that Gao Yuhan and Hu Bin were both walking in the same direction, so he no longer hesitated, picked up his equipment and chased Gao Yuhan.
Li Dongjie wanted to say something else, but the three of them left, leaving him alone, shaking his head helplessly and chasing after him.
In this way, the four of them chased for about two hours without eating lunch, and finally arrived at the place where Zhao Zhen disappeared.
Gao Yuhan looked at the place where Zhao Zhen disappeared and found that the surrounding grass had obviously been pressed down by heavy objects, and there were obvious human footprints where the grass was lush.
Gao Yuhan turned his head and glanced at Hu Bin, Hu Bin also glanced at Gao Yuhan, and the two nodded almost at the same time.
The two of them ran quickly towards the top of the mountain. The scene that suddenly appeared in front of them almost made their eyes fall out of their sockets.
Yelu Qinghui and Li Dongjie also noticed the strange situation of Hu Bin and Gao Yuhan. They also followed Gao Yuhan and Hu Bin and looked forward. Yelu Qinghui and Li Dongjie were also shocked by the scene in front of them.
.
I saw a clearing in front of me, and a village actually appeared in the clearing. There was still smoke from every farmhouse in the village, and it seemed that there were still people living here.
The four people looked at each other with doubtful eyes, and Hu Bin said in a questioning tone: "Shall we go down?"
Li Dongjie and Yelu Qinghui immediately expressed their intention to go down, while Gao Yuhan kept looking at the village below with a solemn expression.
Seeing that Gao Yuhan had not expressed his position, Hu Bin asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you think the village down there is a little unusual?"
"Speak clearly."
"Think about it, in this deep mountain and old forest, a village suddenly appeared for no reason, and this village is not marked on the map at all. I think there must be something wrong with it."
After hearing what Gao Yuhan said, Hu Bin began to murmur in his heart. What Gao Yuhan said was not unreasonable.
Li Dongjie interrupted at this time
He said: "Should we go down there anymore? I'm almost starving to death."
Yelu Qinghui, who was standing aside, also saw some clues. He pulled Li Dongjie, stepped forward and walked between Gao Yuhan and Hu Bin and said, "What do you think of this village?"
Hu Bin glanced at Yelu Qinghui and repeated what Gao Yuhan just said.
After Yelu Qinghui and Hu Bin finished speaking, he nodded and said: "What he said is not unreasonable, but have you ever thought about the possibility that the village that appeared in this place is so close to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?
Where is the clan?”
When Yelu Qinghui said this, the two of them suddenly realized. What Yelu Qinghui said was not groundless. There are mausoleum guardians around many mausoleums. From the day the mausoleums were built, they have been guarding and adhering to the same belief for generations.
, living alone in a remote place for generations, living an inhuman life in isolation.
Li Dongjie, who was standing far away and had no chance to speak, immediately became excited after hearing what they said. He walked between the three of them and said: "I don't think this is a mausoleum-protecting clan, because the mausoleum-protecting clan cannot be like this."
Multi-family.”
When Hu Bin and the others heard what Li Dongjie said, they immediately asked, "What kind of village do you think this is?"
Li Dongjie felt a little proud when he heard the three people asking him questions in a questioning tone. He glanced at the three people, pretended to cough twice and said: "As far as I know, there are no more than five people in a tomb-protecting clan.
Ten people. But if you look at the village in front of you now, there must be more than 200 households at least. So, the village in front of you may not be the village of the Huling tribe, but a group of people who came here to take refuge due to wars in ancient times.
Many people took root here and slowly developed into a village now." After speaking, Li Dongjie waited for the three people's approval.
After waiting for a long time, the three of them didn't say a word. Li Dongjie was puzzled and looked at the three of them.
Gao Yuhan stood up at this time and asked: "How do you know that the number of the Tomb Protectors does not exceed fifty?"
Li Dongjie was stunned for a moment and said: "To tell you the truth, I was born in a Huling clan family. I know the Huling clan better than you. There are some secrets about the Huling clan that you
unknown."
Yelu Qinghui became interested as soon as he heard this. He usually doesn't have any hobbies. His only hobby is to listen to things he has never heard of before. He immediately shouted for Li Dongjie to tell him.
Li Dongjie glanced at Yelu Qinghui and said: "Usually this secret is kept strictly confidential, but now that the tomb we are guarding has been archaeologically discovered, it doesn't matter if I tell it." After that, Li Dongjie started to talk about the tomb-protecting tribe.
's secret.
After listening to Li Dongjie's words, Yelu Qinghui's expression changed.
Hu Bin got a little impatient and stood up and said: "Now I am sure that the village below is not a mausoleum-protecting tribe. We can go down now." After saying that, he put on his equipment and left.
As soon as he took a step, Hu Bin was pulled by Gao Yuhan and said: "Let's wait a little longer. According to what Li Dongjie said just now, there must be no women in this village. Hu Bin, use a telescope to take a look and confirm the village."
Is there a woman in there?"
"What are you looking at? It's already obvious. There are so many people in this village, they must not be from the Tomb Protector clan. Look at how careful you are." After all, Hu Bin took the telescope from Li Dongjie's hand and looked there.
one time.
With the help of the telescope, Hu Bin could easily see the situation in the distant villages clearly.
But after watching for a long time, Hu Bin was stunned and didn't see a woman. Not only did he not see a woman, he didn't even see a man.
Hu Bin was a little confused, "Are these people taking a lunch break?"
Hu Bin handed the telescope in his hand to Gao Yuhan and said, "Take a look, I suddenly feel that this village is a little strange."
Gao Yuhan glanced at Hu Bin and saw that Hu Bin's face was full of surprise. He took the telescope and looked towards the village.
