In the early years of the Republic of China, three tomb robbers entered Longqu Mountain.
Among the three, the old is Ma Long and the young is Ma Xiaolong. They are a father and son, and there is a Li Ding, the creditor of Ma Long and his son.
This time to robber the tomb, it was Li Ding who threatened Ma Long and his son. Li Ding had long heard that someone made a fortune by robbery, and was very jealous.
By chance, he learned that a Tang Dynasty tomb was hidden on Longqu Mountain. It is said that the owner of the tomb is a noble lady, wearing a beaded emerald head, wearing a halo cloak, and there are countless descent objects. If you steal such a tomb, you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life.
Li Ding said to Ma Long and his son: “You two follow me to dig the baby. If you dig it out, your debt will be written off.” Ma Long and his son are too poor to open the pot. I had no choice but to agree.
Along the way, Li Ding made his wishful thinking, but the sky suddenly rained heavily, and the three had to hide in a cave to avoid the rain. Unexpectedly, this cave occupies a huge area, one hole connected to one hole, like a maze. Because of curiosity, the three of them shuttled inside, going farther and farther.
I don’t know how long it took. Suddenly, Li Ding, who was walking in the front, stopped and stood there for a moment. He exclaimed with excitement: “Here is a tomb! Here is a tomb. Tomb!”
Ma Long and his son followed and saw that there was a tombstone. Because the light is too dark to see the words on it, but the tombstone is tall and tidy, and the stone is white and blue. At first glance, it is not ordinary stone. It must be buried in it by a nobleman of any dynasty.
Li Ding was about to start wiping his fists, and the old man Ma Long grabbed him: “Hold on.” As he said, the old man Ma Long swept around and winked at Li Ding. The surrounding area of this tomb is a bit weird, it looks like a circle of people at first glance. The old man Ma Long walked closer to look, almost screaming in surprise!
Ma Xiaolong quickly lit a torch and walked to his father’s side. Under the torch, the circle of things clearly revealed, it turned out to be eight corpses! They all wore armor, resembling warriors, sitting around the tomb in groups. What’s more peculiar is that these corpses did not know how many years they existed, and they did not rot, but looked like mummies that had been drained of water.
Li Ding was very excited, and exclaimed: “He must be buried here with high-ranking officials, otherwise how can eight warriors be willing to die for them?”
The old man Ma Long was dumbfounded and didn’t know what he was thinking. Li Ding pushed him a bit and said, “Don’t worry about the dead, it’s important for us to dig the tomb.”

The old man Ma Long did not move, and muttered “Depending on the situation, these eight people are guarding the tomb with death. They are desperately guarding the tomb, but we are now going to dig it?”
“Are you stupid? This tomb?”There must be real money in there, so let’s get started. Li Ding spit into his palm and said. The old man Ma Long still ignored him, squatting down and looking at the corpses, as if made up his mind, and said to his son Ma Xiaolong: “Carry them out, bury them and come back to dig the grave. Let them stare, how can it be done? “
Upon hearing this, Li Ding became anxious and said, “We are here to robber the tomb, not to collect the dead body!” Besides, I don’t know which dynasty and which generation the corpse is. Why do you care about so many things? “
The old man Ma Long didn’t listen to Li Ding. He knelt down, wrapped a corpse in a white cloth that was originally like a ghost, and motioned for his son to carry it out. Ma Xiaolong didn’t dare to violate it. Father, bend over and carry the corpse with the old man Ma Long.
Li Ding is going crazy: “You old man, why are you such a tendon? Are those few dead people your ancestors? “
The old man Ma Long ignored Li Ding’s cynicism, and continued to move the body in and out with his son.
Li Ding looked at the father and son. The two said that they really drank the ecstasy soup and became confused! When he was angry, he digs up the tomb by himself, digging and loudly said: “When I dig out good things, I won’t give you a single one! Not only don’t you give one, but you have to add another 10%! “
Soon, the rain outside stopped, and the old man Ma Long and his son still carried the corpse out one by one. The cave twisted around, fortunately the father and son often walked in the mountains where they went. Just put the road signs where they didn’t get lost. When they finished lifting the last corpse, it was already two hours later. Then, eight corpses were put into the dug pit and buried carefully, old man Ma Long I also planted a few tall wormwood on the tomb, which are considered as soul-raising banners.

After all this, the old man Ma Long let out a sigh of relief. Leading his son back into the cave. But strangely, Li Ding disappeared suddenly.
“This kid, did he run away with his baby? “The old man Ma Long said strangely. Going to look at the tomb, it was dug up a long time ago, and it was turned over in a mess. It seems that Li Ding has taken something away.
Father and son. Searching separately, and without much effort, I found Li Ding, who was on the ground, foaming at his mouth. He was still holding a baggage tightly in his arms, and he couldn’t take it off. The old man Ma Long was terrified and hurried. Asked his son to carry Li Ding on his back, and he helped him out of the cave.
Ma Long and his son carried Li Ding back home and immediately called the doctor. The doctor took a look and said He died early, his body is cold, what else to look at? Li Ding has no father, no mother, and no wife or daughter, so the old man Ma Long buried him. The debts of the two were written off.
< br/> After the burial of Li Ding, the old man Ma Long remembered the baggage he was holding to death, and when he opened it, there was a palm-sized gold inlaid inside.Bronze tripod with dragon pattern. Ask experts to appraise it, saying that it was a reward from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the meritorious generals. Judging from the words inscribed on the tripod, the owner of the tomb had fought against the Japanese pirates together with Qi Jiguang and made repeated battles. The emperor not only rewarded the tripod, but also rewarded the eight samurai who followed him. It now appears that the eight warriors in the tomb are those who once followed the owner of the tomb. This bronze tripod is extremely valuable.
After getting this windfall, the old man Ma Long never went to the tomb again. He didn’t know why Li Ding died, but he believed that he and his son did not die because of the burial of the corpses, which resulted in good rewards. The old man Ma Long later lived to be ninety-eight years old. Before he died, he took the hand of his children and grandchildren and said: “You have to remember for the rest of your life, good and evil are rewarded, and you are not happy.”
Later, the great-grandson of the old man Ma Long went to university and studied archeology. Since I was a child, I heard stories about the robbery of the tomb from my great ancestor, so I tried to find the cave after several long journeys.
Before entering the ancient tomb, he prepared candles, gas masks, and sharp knives. Candles are used to measure oxygen, gas masks are used to isolate poisonous gases, and knives are used to prevent poisonous insects. In his opinion, the great ancestor carried a shovel and went to the tomb rashly, it was a death.
After investigation, I learned that the cave was not ventilated for many years, and a lot of colorless and odorless gas accumulated in it. People will be poisoned if they smoke for a long time. It is very possible that Li Ding died of this poisonous gas. As for the father and son Ma Long, because they carried the corpse back and forth, and kept going in and out, they were safe and sound.
The great-grandson of the old man Ma Long explained it from a scientific point of view.
However, younger generations are more inclined to believe the words of their great ancestors: Good and evil are rewarded, and they are not happy.
