Ode to

They rested in the cave for two days before packing up and preparing to leave.

"It's daytime now. Let's go to the crop field. It's better to hide."

"But the crops over there are all dead."

"died?"

"That's right, when I floated out to look for food last night, I saw that the digging was in a mess. I heard that it was because the crops suddenly died overnight one night. Ma Pingchuan dug the grave. what happened."

Zhang Qiling frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Zhang Zhan, go to Ma Pingchuan's study and write a letter. The content is written in cocoon fonts, and the cover is in traditional Chinese. I will go to Ma Pingchuan and ask him to help save people."

"Save people? Who is it?"

"Zhang Haike."

"Are they still in the tomb?" Zhang Zhan was startled, she still liked Zhang Haike a lot.

"Then what should I write?"

"It's all right, the more ordinary the better." Zhang Zhan immediately floated out to write a letter, although she didn't know what she could do with Ma Pingchuan.Zhang Qiling followed closely behind and quickly descended the mountain.

At this time, Ma Pingchuan happened to be doing Taijiquan in the courtyard of his house. Zhang Qiling quickly dodged the guards, and jumped onto the courtyard wall with a black gold ancient knife, sitting on the corner of the eaves and watching Ma Pingchuan.Ma Pingchuan was very alert and immediately found Zhang Qiling, but what he didn't know was that there was Zhang Zhan sitting next to Zhang Qiling. Zhang Zhan didn't understand why he didn't go down to the ancient tomb immediately to save people. What could he do with Ma Pingchuan?

Ma Pingchuan was so frightened that he immediately called the guards, and Zhang Qiling was not afraid either.

"I know where the coffin in your ancestral grave is. You might as well go to the cemetery with me."

"Okay, come down, can you ride a horse?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, and led a group of people to the dry field on horseback.

"Look, what does this withered area look like?"

"Boss, look like a scorpion." Ma Pingchuan's guard jumped up the tree to look at it, and shouted to Ma Pingchuan.

"How is this going?"

"Your family's cemetery happened to be built on top of an ancient tomb, and a kind of machine was laid in the tomb. Recently, a tomb robber touched the machine, and the poisonous gas inside flowed out, poisoning the crops on the ground to death."

Ma Pingchuan and Zhang Qiling asked and answered, Ma Pingchuan finally believed what Zhang Qiling said.

"I have several partners trapped in the ancient tomb. I want you to do two things for me. First, prepare me dry food for 7 days, a short knife weighing six catties, wind lamp oil star and toner. bag, I want to go down to rescue my friend, and find a way to seal the opening of the ancient tomb. Second, please dig up the edge of this dead crop, take a five-foot-long bamboo pole on the wet mud and pour lime, Knock it into the mud, leaving only one finger, the denser the better."

"Why do this?"

"The ground is a prison. The thing below is too fierce. It must be trapped and resolved here. This matter is caused by us, and I will definitely solve it. If I don't come to you again after seven days, please send this letter back to me." Hometown. I’ve said too much today, so don’t ask me any more.” Zhang Zhan nodded aside, it’s really a lot, “Can you help me and give me a letter of approval.”

Ma Pingchuan immediately prepared the things Zhang Qiling needed, and Zhang Qiling turned around and quickly disappeared into the night with the things.

"Zhang Qiling, why did you write that letter?"

"Do you think Ma Pingchuan will obey me obediently?"

After Zhang Zhan thought for a while, he understood, "Of course not. Doing this will make him feel that this matter is very dangerous, and there is almost no return, so that he will hurry up to do it. But why do you need to pour lime? This can trap Those golden scorpions and bugs?"

"Even if the tomb collapses, the golden scorpion won't be able to get out. Do you remember when we fled to the ancient ship, did the golden scorpion come out?"

"No, only the bugs on its back came out."

"Do you know why our children have to be blooded when we encounter a quagmire?"

"There are bugs in the mud?"

"Yes, it's a leech. So the golden scorpion couldn't come out because of the leech, and the golden scorpion is drought-resistant. I guess the one that came out with us was the leech. I guess it was because the scorpion couldn't escape when the ancient city was flooded. They stayed here to reproduce, but they also mutated and formed a symbiotic relationship with the golden scorpion. Even if they can chase them out, they can't get too far away from the golden scorpion, so the golden scorpion and the turtle are not a problem."

Zhang Zhan tilted her head and thought about it. She thought of the coffin of the Ma family that was hung on the top of the ancient tomb. "Are you trying to completely cover up the real underground tomb?"
