Chapter 318 Clan
After Zheng Tong had packed up, Zhong Yuemin couldn't wait to lead a group of friends along the stream at the entrance of the village and head towards the Hulu Valley.
The road was also overgrown with weeds. After leaving Huaishugou, we walked north for seven or eight miles.
During this period, they also saw many wild pheasants, rabbits and other wild animals, but they could only see but not touch them.
Without weapons, they couldn't catch the fish and could only watch these wild delicacies slip away from them.
The other guys are fine, but this guy Zheng Tong is the only one I can see but can’t touch. It makes me feel sorry for him!
After walking upstream along the stream for a while, Zhong Yuemin and his group finally entered the valley.
The changes in the surrounding environment are very obvious, the most intuitive one is the water flow beside them.
Originally, there was only a gurgling stream flowing out of the valley, but after entering Hulu Valley, the cross-section of the water flow became visibly wider.
Zhong Yuemin and the others also began to become more cautious.
Because they had just entered the valley for a while, three small snakes jumped past their feet.
The water flowing upstream beside them also changed from a stream to a river. Although they did not test the depth of the river, they knew that the water was deep enough to drown people.
Zhong Yuemin walked at the front of the team with a soil sprayer in his hand. Since the place was almost completely covered with weeds, he walked more cautiously.
From time to time, I had to remind the people behind me to look at their feet and stay a little further away from the river bank.
Zheng Tong followed closely behind Zhong Yuemin.
With his small body, he couldn't hold on even after walking this far.
"Yuemin, how long do we have to walk? I can't walk anymore!"
Zheng Tong looked at the dense grass in front and behind him, and his heart trembled. His legs and feet became weaker involuntarily, so he could only complain to Zhong Yuemin in front of him.
"Damn it! I don't know why. We still have to walk for so long after entering this valley!"
Zhong Yuemin no longer had the urgency and excitement he had at the beginning, and instead became worried.
After briefly replying to Zheng Tong, he continued to explore forward.
Come all come!
There was no way he could say, "Let's turn back now." That wasn't Zhong Yuemin's character at all.
I gritted my teeth and continued to move forward along the river.
We walked until the sun was at its highest point in the sky. The sunlight at noon became stronger and stronger, making the Hulu Valley, which originally had a light mist, more comfortable.
Zhong Yuemin is still exploring the road ahead seriously.
Zheng Tong, who was following behind him, suddenly shouted.
"Yuemin, look quickly, is the place we are looking for in there?"
Zhong Yuemin raised his head, glanced at Zheng Tong, and then looked in the direction of his finger.
Just on the left side of the river ahead, there stands a stone tablet that looks extremely dilapidated.
Behind the stone tablet is a steep mountain wall with a crack in the middle that extends all the way in, with no bottom in sight!
Zhong Yuemin looked around and looked again, but did not find any other traces of human activity.
Well, let's go and take a look. Now that he has come this far, no matter whether there is a big tomb behind the stone tablet or not, he has to go in and take a look.
"Let's go, guys, let's see what these monsters are!"
"Let's go!"
"Damn it, it's finally my turn!"
After hearing Zhong Yuemin's words, everyone was instantly excited.
After all, we have been walking for so long, and the passion we had when we first left the village has been completely worn out.
Although there are few obedient people among these guys, walking on the mountain road for such a long time is really exhausting.
Zhong Yuemin took the lead and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the spirits of his buddies behind him were aroused.
After walking to the front of the stone tablet, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong leaned in front of it and looked at it carefully.
The other dozen or so guys scattered around and remained vigilant.
"What the hell is this? Zheng Tong, do you understand?"
After carefully looking at the stone tablet in front of him, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but shook his head and asked Zheng Tong who was standing beside him.
Zheng Tong adjusted his glasses, moved closer, and muttered to himself.
"In the second year of the Shangyuan reign, the year of Xinchou... Emperor Yan, the heir of the Ruizong family, carried on the will of his father and brother... and framed him in Qinzhou!"
After looking at it intermittently for a while, Zheng Tong also shook his head.
"This should be a record of the person's life. The second year of Shangyuan should be the reign title of Tang Suzong. It says above that he is the successor of Ruizong, so it should be correct!"
After Zheng Tong talked to Zhong Yuemin for a while, his logic became clearer and clearer.
"Yuemin, we may have stumbled upon the right path by accident. According to what the inscription says, this should be the tomb of a member of the Tang Dynasty royal family."
This is exactly what Zhong Yuemin wanted to hear. He didn't care about any royal family members or princes.
"Guys, we've found the right place, let's go!"
With a shout, more than a dozen buddies followed Zhong Yuemin and walked into the crack.
The cracks were filled with broken stones, and scattered on both sides were some porcelain pieces, broken stone statues and other objects.
Zhong Yuemin walked inside and asked Zheng Tong beside him.
"Zheng Tong, look at this, is this the right place? How can this tomb be in the canyon?"
Zheng Tong weighed two pieces of porcelain he picked up from under his feet in his hands, looked at the surrounding environment, and then said to Zhong Yuemin.
"It should be no problem. When these royal relatives choose their tombs, they must choose places close to mountains and water. However, this kind of terrain is prone to changes in the terrain. After all, it has been thousands of years, so it's not surprising that there have been any geographical changes here."
Zhong Yuemin nodded, not quite understanding what he was saying. He was just asking Zheng Tong for an answer and had no interest in any changes in the terrain.
After getting confirmation, he walked inside more decisively.
The vegetation in this canyon is not too lush, so there is no need to be as cautious as before outside.
After walking for a while, Zhong Yuemin and his friends finally saw a circular arched cave entrance made of giant stone slabs.
Finally they saw the entrance. Before Zhong Yuemin gave any order, the group of friends behind him rushed towards the cave entrance happily.
Young people are curious and tough at heart. They don’t care about the dangers in the tomb. They just want to go in and find out what good things are inside!
Zhong Yuemin also picked up the shotgun and was about to walk inside.
Zheng Tong followed closely behind Zhong Yuemin. After looking around, his eyes inadvertently swept across a damp mark at the bottom corner of the bluestone door.
After approaching curiously, Zheng Tong squatted down to take a look and even touched it directly.
But just this one move made Zheng Tong's expression change drastically.
Then he shouted at Zhong Yuemin who had already walked into the cave.
"Yuemin! Get the brothers out, quick!!"
(I'm a bit stuck, really stuck. I have the subsequent plot planned out in my mind, but when I put pen to paper, I just can't write it down!)
