Chapter 57: The Grave Keeper and the Gravedigger

1.

"Not there?!" Lin Xiao was confused again, "How can this be? Didn't you just say that according to the will of the Ancestor of Leaving Hatred, you would transfer that half of the fragment into the ground? Wasn't it put into the mausoleum of the Ancestor of Hatred?"

Ji Yunian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, little friend, listen to me slowly." It is true that the Patriarch of Departure had said in his will that if the map was recaptured, it would be transferred to his tomb. But after we got this half of the fragment, when we thought about how to move it into the Patriarch's Mausoleum, we found that there were three major obstacles. ”

"First, the mausoleum of the Absolute Son is located in the Demon Realm of Eternal Night, although the ancestors of our Ji family designed and built it, but there is no specific location left, and our descendants have no way to find it; !”

Lin Xiao suddenly nodded and said, "It turns out that there are still such difficulties in this, but the younger generation is shallow." It's just that I don't know what clever ways Ji's predecessors thought of later to solve these problems. ”

"It's just a little clever, not clever. Ji Yunian smiled and waved his hand, and continued: "I'm just thinking - although the absolute son said in his will that he was going to move the remnants into the mausoleum of the patriarch, but he didn't say which mausoleum of the patriarch, so ......" When he said this, Ji Yunian paused slightly, picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea, as if he was quenching his thirst, and as if he was deliberately selling Guanzi.

Ye Xin's eyes suddenly lit up: "So senior, you moved that half of the remnants into the tomb of another ancestor?!But I have been in the Eternal Night Realm for many years, and I have heard a lot of rumors in the Divine Sect, but I have never heard of the tomb of a second ancestor;

Miss Ye's guess was very close, but it was not the right answer. Ji Yusui said on the side, "You may have some misunderstandings about the 'doubtful grave' - the 'doubtful grave' is generally set up next to the real tomb, staggered to form a certain group of tombs, so that the tomb robbers can't distinguish what is true and what is false and have no way to start; if we can't determine the location of the real tomb, naturally we can't find the doubtful tomb." ”

In addition, except for the absence of corpses in the doubtful mound, the other arrangements and furnishings are the same as the real mound - the same tomb passage, the same burial chamber, the same coffin and the same mechanism, and the people who designed the mausoleum sometimes want to leave the tomb robbers directly in the doubtful grave, and some of the mechanisms in the tomb will even be more dangerous than the real mound. Therefore, even if there is really a grave of doubt, there will be those institutions that we can't explain and can't understand, and from this point of view, there is no difference between our entering the grave of doubt and entering the real grave. ”

Ye Xin frowned: "If that's the case, then I can't figure it out." ”

Ji Yunian laughed and said: "Brother Fang Cai has already said that Miss Ye's answer is very close, but not all of them are right; ”

"So senior, what you mean is ......" Lin Xiao suddenly heard the clue from the word "fake": "...... You've built a fake Patriarch's Mausoleum to store that half of the remnants?!"

The two brothers of the Ji family glanced at each other, laughed together: "Yes, that's right!"

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin looked at each other, and the two of them were not only happy, but also a little shocked. Naturally, the joy is that now that the half of the fragment has finally been found, there is no need to trek all the way to the eternal night realm to find the location of the ancestor's tomb. What is shocking is that the courage of the Ji brothers to build a fake mausoleum again, if the son who hates the ancestor has a spirit in the sky, knowing that the two brothers seem to be honest and responsible, but they are so cheating and playing tricks behind their backs, it is estimated that they will be directly angry;

Ji Yunian twisted his beard under his chin, and he still had that excited smile on his face, as if he felt very proud when he thought of it. He coughed lightly, slightly suppressed a smile on his face, and continued, "This matter is actually Yu Sui's idea. As he spoke, he set his eyes on Ji Yusui, who was standing on the side, "That is to say, he was able to think of this kind of partial method, old man, I was still honestly at a loss at that time." ”

"If it weren't for you, big brother, my unpopular trick wouldn't be useful. Ji Yusui said with a smile, "After the strategy was agreed, we began to design the layout of the tomb, select the appropriate hole/eye, look at the feng shui to find the location, and finally spent two years to find an underground residence at the foot of Qishan Mountain where the mountain people in ancient times hid from the war." ”

"The place is connected to an underground river, and a natural cave has been formed under it after thousands of years of geological changes. We dug up the underground dwelling to connect it to the cave, dredged the dark river, changed the place into an underground palace, named it 'Eternal Tribulation', set it up as the void mound of the ancestor of hatred, and put the remnants into the bottom of the underground palace. ”

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin were surprised and delighted after hearing this, listening to the meaning of Ji Yusui's words, that half of the remnants are now in this Qishan area, which can be said to be close at hand. The two of them turned from enemies to allies, and along the way, they tossed back and forth for this half of the incomplete jade silk, chasing some ethereal and intermittent clues, and now the thing they were looking for suddenly appeared in a position that they could see, and for a moment they only felt as if they were in a dream, which made people feel extremely unreal.

Ye Xin peeked at Lin Xiao, looking at his excited expression, obviously happy to find the whereabouts of the remnant picture. In fact, after tossing back and forth for so long, she was tired and suffered, and now she could finally get what she wanted, and she was also overjoyed, but when she thought that she and Lin Xiao were going to face each other after this incident, her mind would become like a mess, which made her feel irritable and uneasy.

"Only this thief from a decent background would naively think that everyone in this world can casually turn enemies into friends!" Ye Xin thought in her heart, and a gloomy color unconsciously appeared on her face, but she often had a cold face, so these emotions were not easy to see from her face.

But what Ye Xin didn't know was that Lin Xiao hadn't thought about how to face the loss of "friend" becoming "enemy" next. It's just that he is used to putting on a smiling optimist appearance in front of others, how can he easily reveal other emotions other than optimism in front of Ye Xin.

2.

The next day, Ji Yusui led Lin Xiao and Ye Xin out of the Ji family's ancestral house and went to the foot of Qishan to find the entrance to the eternal tribulation palace. The group walked and stopped, and at about noon, Ji Yusui stopped in front of an open lake.

What caught Lin Xiao's eyes was a quiet lake, this lake is not very big, and the lake water is very shallow, although it is not crystal clear, but the lake bed covered with sand and stones can be faintly seen. The water of the lake is full of green, and from a distance, this small lake looks like a flawless jade, and at this moment, under the light of the noon sun, the lake is like a golden dress, shimmering with magnificent colors.

Ji Yusui put his hand on his forehead to shield himself from the harsh and scorching midday sun, and then stretched out his hand to the middle of the lake, where the lake bed rose above the water, forming an island-like clearing, covered with flowers and trees, and a small building in the middle of the lake.

Ji Yusui said: "Go ahead, that's it." ”

Lin Xiao's expression at the moment can be said to be a little helpless: "You have to engage in these false ......"

Ji Yusui glared and said: "You kid is playing tricks with me, and you have said that in the realm of this Qishan Mountain, you have to act according to the ancestral system of my Ji family." If you really want that remnant picture, then hurry up, Lao Tzu's task of leading the way has been completed, go back to drink, and the rest of life and death have their own lives, so leave it to the two of you to solve it yourself!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and brushed his sleeves away, and there was no meaning to stay at all.

Ye Xin was silent all the way, and he didn't say more nonsense at this time, he grabbed the ruthless blade in one hand and jumped up, making a "cold and playing in the water" style, and swept over the lake lightly, landing on the small island in the middle of the lake.

Lin Xiao muttered to himself: "What is this called?!" Seeing that Ye Xin had already moved one step ahead of him, he had no choice but to put away his "resentment" and start a light effort, and followed her to the island.

Yesterday, after learning the news of the remaining half of the fragment, Lin Xiao proposed to ask the two masters of the Ji family to lead the two of them to the eternal calamity underground palace to take out the half of the fragment. Who knew that Ji Yunian, the head of the family, said something that shocked the young man: "Two little friends, we can lead you to find the location of the underground palace, but we can't lead you in; ”

Lin Xiao asked strangely, "Why is this?"

Ji Yunian smiled slightly bitterly: "The ancestral system is limited, and it has to be so." Originally, after the Ji family captured the fragment, they should have put it in the tomb of the ancestor, and since then they have kept silent and buried the matter in the ground permanently. But the old man first built the underground palace mound for his own selfishness, and then revealed the matter to the two of you, which is against the wishes of the ancestors. This remnant picture was found by the two of you when you entered the underground palace, so it's okay, if my Ji clan also goes in and mixes it, then I'm really sorry for my ancestors!"

When Lin Xiao and Ye Xin heard this, they couldn't help but be silent. The so-called selfishness in Ji Yunian's mouth is nothing more than wanting to pull the Ji family out of this only dispute, which is understandable in the eyes of outsiders, but for the "Youxuan Ji Clan" who has adhered to the law of the ancestors for thousands of years, this is already a "great rebellion".

Although Lin Xiao felt in his heart that the Ji family brothers still couldn't get rid of the shadow of pedantic, but this time they found out the whereabouts of the remnants, the Ji family had already helped them a lot, and he really didn't have any position to criticize them, so he had to thank Ye Xin for Ji Xin's help for more than a few years, and no longer mentioned the matter of leading the way.

...............

On the shore of the small island in the middle of the lake, there is a stone tablet with the words: "Yuanshengju".

Ye Xin took a deep breath and said softly, "Here...... Is that where the grave keeper dwells?"

"If the news given by Second Master Ji is good, then it should be here. Lin Xiao looked around, "They don't show us the way anymore, so they shouldn't come up with a fake news to deceive us." ”

The small building on that side is in front of you, surrounded by flowers and trees. The place is sunny all year round, and when winter turns to spring, the ice and snow have long melted, and the flowers and trees have begun to grow and develop, but this small island in the middle of the lake is full of vitality. Lin Xiao looked at the small building, there should be no problem, and he was about to step forward, but suddenly his arm tightened, but he was pulled by Ye Xin from behind.

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned: "What's the matter? Are you afraid?"

"How can you be afraid!" Ye Xin said coldly, "I just want to ask-have you taken the medicine?"

Lin Xiao was even more shocked at this time: "How do you know about the medicine?"

"Overheard. Ye Xin didn't hide it at all, and said with a little impatience in his tone, "Just say whether you ate or not." ”

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, stretched out his wrist in front of Ye Xin, and said, "I have eaten it a long time ago, do you want to check it." ”

Ye Xin glanced at him, slapped his hand away angrily, and turned around and walked towards the door of the small building in the middle of the lake.

...............

Yesterday night, the Ji family settled in a courtyard.

"The second master is so interested, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he doesn't go to guard your building, but he came to my roof to drink and cry on the moon, did your eldest brother kick you out or what happened to you?" Lin Xiao leaned out of the window and shouted to the roof where his room was located.

"What 'long song should cry'?!Can you kid speak human words!Lao Tzu is chanting!" As soon as the words fell, Ji Yusui's rough voice responded from the roof.

Lin Xiao laughed, stretched out his hand to support the windowsill, the whole person turned out of the window, stretched out his legs and kicked up on the outer wall of the house, and jumped onto the roof. I saw Ji Yusui lying on the roof on all fours, still so unkempt, with a big wine jar beside him, and the sealing mud at the mouth of the altar had been patted open, and it was overflowing with the fragrance of wine.

Ji Yusui doesn't have to be Ji Yunian, his loose temperament exuded from the inside out, it is difficult for people to have any sense of awe for him. Lin Xiao didn't bother to greet him, so he stepped forward to take his wine jar and poured it up, which could be regarded as a greeting.

"What's the matter? Conscience has found out, and wants to show us the way again?"

"Boy, do you want to fart!" Ji Yusui scolded with a smile, "Although the second child of my Ji family doesn't like to follow the rules, the law of the ancestors should still be obeyed." Not to mention leading the way, even the arrangement of the organs inside, I will never reveal half a word to you. ”

"Second master, you are here tonight, specifically to talk about cool things. Lin Xiaogan laughed twice, and then pointed to the room next door: "Don't let the Ye girl who is walking with me hear these words, they are from the devil's religion and have a bad temper." In case of a fight, I don't feel sorry for the roof of your house, I'm just worried that you will make me sleep. ”

"You kid don't play tricks with me. Ji Yusui lifted the wine jar and took a sip, and some wine overflowed from his open mouth and flowed down his chin to the placket. "Although I can't tell you the information inside the dungeon, I can tell you some outside. ”

"Outside?" Lin Xiao was suddenly surprised, "What do you mean?"

Ji Yusui drank wine and said slowly: "Outside this eternal calamity underground palace, there is also a tomb keeper. ”

"Grave keeper, how can there be a grave keeper?" Lin Xiao frowned.

Ji Yusui said: "Although this eternal tribulation underground palace is just a virtual tomb, there are important things hidden in it after all, and it is not strange to have a tomb keeper there." In the eyes of the grave keeper, everyone except herself is a gravedigger, and anyone who comes close to the underground palace will die at her hands - have you ever heard of the name 'Mei Ziqing'?"

Lin Xiao shook his head, he really hadn't heard of it.

"I haven't heard of Mei Ziqing, I've always heard of the 'Seven-Step Yin Wind Claw'. ”

Lin Xiao nodded this time, the "Seven Steps Yin Wind Claw" is a kind of yin poison martial art that appeared in the cultivation realm more than ten years ago, the user grew up taking poison since he was a child, and used poison to practice qi and act on the toxins on his hands and claws. If a person is caught by this "seven-step yin wind claw", within seven steps, the poisonous gas will attack the heart, and he will definitely die. It's just that later the user disappeared, and this kung fu gradually faded out of people's sight.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's heart suddenly "chuckled", and said hesitantly: "No, the grave keeper should be ......?"

"That's right. Ji Yusui knew what was under his tongue, so he said it directly for him, "She is the notorious 'Yin Wind Girl' back then!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I also said why this person disappeared, it turned out that he came to be a tomb keeper for you." ”

"When she was chased and killed by the enemy, she fled to the foot of Qishan, and when her life was hanging by a thread, it was my eldest brother who rescued her. Ji Yusui said, "Out of gratitude, she is willing to stay in the Ji family and let us send us." My eldest brother thought that there was nothing good to do in the family, so he simply asked her to go to the entrance of the dungeon to be a grave keeper. ”

Lin Xiao was silent, what he was thinking about at this time was Mei Ziqing's "Seven Steps Yin Wind Claw", although he had heard of this kung fu, but he had never seen it. If they really get involved, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with, and if she accidentally scratches a wound, it will be even more troublesome.

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry, Mei Ziqing has lost all her poisonous skills since she became a grave keeper, and she has changed her way of horizontal practice, even if she is injured by her claws, she will not die of poison. Ji Yusui said, "But don't think too simple about this woman, there was a group of tomb robbers who heard that our Ji family had built a big tomb here, so they smelled the wind and ran here to catch a few dead weapons, but they were all caught alive by Mei Ziqing." When our people rushed to collect the corpse, they heard that the corpse's entire face had been scratched to shreds, and it had been disemboweled, and its internal organs had flowed all over the ground. ”

When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and such and such scenes unconsciously appeared in his mind, and he only felt a little sick to his stomach for a while.

Ji Yusui staggered to his feet with his wine jar, waved his hand and said, "That's all I have to say to you, the rest is up to you." As he spoke, he walked to the eaves, suddenly stopped, turned around and turned back: "By the way, I almost forgot, this is for you." As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, poured out a fiery red pill from it and handed it to Lin Xiao.

"What is this?" Lin Xiao was a little confused when he took the pill.

Ji Yusui said: "This is a kind of pill that our Ji family has refined by themselves, although it is not as good as the 'Fire Cold Pill', but it should also play a certain role in inhibiting and eliminating the cold poison in your body." What you have cultivated is the Purple Yang True Qi of the Supreme Strength and Yang, and with the medicinal effect of this pill, the residual cold poison on the meridians should be able to be easily resolved...... It may take a little time, and you have to be patient. After saying that, he turned and left again, this time really gone.

"Are you patient?" Lin Xiao looked at the pill and hesitated for a moment, but still put it into his mouth.

3.

Grave keepers and gravediggers have been inseparable since ancient times.

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin, who were standing outside the house today, played the role of gravediggers, and the one who was sitting and meditating in the small building at this moment was the tomb keeper of this eternal dungeon.

Ye Xin stepped forward and wanted to stretch out his hand to push the door, but was stopped by Lin Xiao. I saw him raise his foot and stomp it, and the internal force was everywhere, and a few blades of grass that fell on the ground flew up under the agitation of true qi, and fell leisurely on the inconspicuous wooden door. Suddenly, I heard a "swish", and a puff of green smoke suddenly rose from the door, and in an instant the blades of grass had been corroded.

Ye Xin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the poison attached to this door was so strong, he really didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he reached out and touched it.

"How do you know there's a problem with this door?" Ye Xin said in shock.

Lin Xiao said in a deep voice: "Although Mei Ziqing has dispersed the poisonous skills and changed to practice horizontal kung fu, the ability to use poison for many years will never be left behind. There's no mechanism set up outside, if you want to say it's boring, it should be in this room, and isn't the first door to enter the door?"

A grim sneer suddenly came from inside Xiao Zhu, and a hoarse female voice sounded in the ears of the two: "Hehe, the juniors are quite knowledgeable!"

As early as when he went to the island, Lin Xiao had already quietly cast a spell behind him to release the "Heaven and Earth Net Technique". As soon as the words fell at this moment, he had already sensitively felt a strong fluctuation of true qi, and secretly said something bad in his heart, so he hurriedly hugged Ye Xin's waist and slid a few feet to the side with her.

At the same time, only a "bang" was heard, and the double door that was coated with poison was blasted out by a wave of stirring spiritual power, and it swept right past the position where Lin Xiao and the others were standing. If the two of them were still standing in place, the door would have smashed into them, and if the poison on the door had been touched, they would have died.

At this time, the small building door has been opened, and there is a middle-aged woman with a cloak sitting in the middle, and there is still a bit of posture when you look closely, but the gloomy look on her face and a few faint scars on her cheeks make her look a little hideous and terrifying.

Ye Xin was placed twice in a row, and they were all brushed by the line of life and death, Rao is always cold and calm on weekdays, and she couldn't help but be angry at this moment. Her body technique was much faster than Lin Xiao's, the moment the door flew out, she had already stepped forward, and then used the body technique of "Ender Illusion Technique" to rush into the small building with a wisp of afterimage.

The ruthless blade was raised with a chilling knife wind, Ye Xin let out a clear roar, the sound shook the roof tiles, and after the cold light flashed, the long knife had already fallen, and a move "Stone Breaking Heaven" slashed straight towards Mei Ziqing's face.

only heard a "bang", and Mei Ziqing stretched out her fingers to pinch the falling blade. Her ten fingers all had blades made of cold iron, hard and sharp, so she dared to take Ye Xin's knife moves empty-handed. A sneer appeared on Mei Ziqing's face, and the strength at his fingertips was stirred, and Ye Xin was not to be outdone, and the true qi on the blade of despair could not help but linger, and fell with a sharp edge.

The fingertip knife and the ruthless blade rubbed a series of sparks, and the sound of the two sharp weapons scraping was sharp and slender, which made people extremely uncomfortable to listen to. After a while, Ye Xin and Mei Ziqing leaned back suddenly, each taking three steps back, and their faces were pale.

After one move, the scene turned out to be evenly balanced!
