Hearing what the Ghost Eye Daoist said, a look of hesitation appeared on Mu Sheng's face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info ghost eye Taoist added: "In order not to violate what you said at the beginning, you will dig the grave, but you don't need to open the coffin, but you still have to give me a hand in cleaning up the things in the coffin." ”

Mu Sheng heard the ghost eye Taoist say this, and also knew that this was the bottom line of the Taoist, and after weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and agreed to the Taoist's request.

The Ghost Eye Daoist took Mu Sheng back to the inside of the tomb, this was the first time Mu Sheng had seen a corpse, or such a hideous corpse, and he was frightened by the jackal just now, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost fainted to the ground, but he endured it so that he didn't fall down. The Taoist didn't say anything when he saw it, but there seemed to be some satisfaction in his expression when he turned his back to Mu Sheng.

At this time, the corpse in the coffin had been completely presented, and because the corpse was located in the desert area, it did not decay into white bones like the corpses in other places, but shriveled and shriveled into a ball, which was even more terrifying. The corpse wore a crown on its head, a robe that Mu Sheng could not tell what age and style, a pair of animal skin boots on his feet, a pile of pearls and jade on his chest, a book in his left hand, half a piece of bi in his right hand, and a piece of animal skin under his head.

The Ghost Eye Dao didn't reply and asked, "Can you see what is the most valuable thing here, boy?"

"It stands to reason that the things that the corpse holds in hand and the cushion under the head should be the most valuable, but from the current value, it is the jewelry on the chest that is more valuable, maybe there is some mystery in the book and jade bib held by the corpse, only wait to see it. Mu Sheng replied cautiously.

The Ghost Eye Taoist instructed Mu Sheng to take out the bamboo clips he had bought from the market from the cloth bag and put all the jewels on the corpse into his pocket.

"Do you know what age these things are?" the Taoist asked as he instructed Mu Sheng to put the jewels.

"It's like an antiquity from more than 500 years ago, but this person is wearing it, but he can't recognize which dynasty it is. Mu Sheng grabbed his hair and said.

"Yes, it seems that I didn't learn in vain in the pawnshop. The Taoist nodded and said, "This tomb is the tomb of the remnants of the Jedi Tower more than five hundred years ago, so this person should be the high priest of the Jedi Lou." ”

"Ah, is it the remnants of the legendary Peerless City who were flooded by the yellow sand by heaven thousands of years ago and disappeared?" Mu Sheng asked in surprise.

"You can't be wrong, you see that his clothes are very different from our Dachangguo, but the jewelry brocade quilt is very similar to the style of our Dachangguo more than 100 years ago. ”

Mu Sheng nodded, and the Taoist continued: "After the capital of the Jedi Lou Kingdom was submerged, it didn't take long for the Jedi Lou Kingdom to be destroyed, these people are the remnants of the Jedi Lou who were included in the Dachang Kingdom after the Jedi Lou was destroyed. Wearing a crown on his head is the way to wear it for the high priest of the peerless country. ”

At this time, Mu Sheng had already collected the jewelry, and the book and jade ghost eye Taoist did not let Mu Sheng take it out, but took it out himself, and put it into a brocade box before he could take a closer look. At this time, there were still a lot of treasures and the seemingly important animal skin under the corpse. The ghost-eyed Taoist asked Mu Sheng to take out the new straw mat he had just bought from the sackcloth pocket, and put it on the side of the corpse vertically. Mu Sheng was dumbfounded directly from the side, completely subverting his understanding of tomb robbers, in Mu Sheng's heart, tomb robbers treat corpses simply and rudely, like the ghost eye Taoist pays attention to protecting the corpses, plus the previous behavior of letting him collect the bones, has made his heart change a lot.

"Alright. The Ghost Eye Daoist put the corpse on the coffin next to it and clapped his hands.

"Now after collecting the belongings at the bottom of the coffin, we can call it a day. ”

The Ghost Eye Daoist took the animal skin, and the other treasures were still received by Mu Sheng one by one in the cloth bag. The Taoist put the dried corpse into the coffin together with the straw mat, covered the sarcophagus coffin, removed the lotus lamp, and led Mu Sheng out of the tomb.

"If you don't bring your body, you won't take it away when you die, dust will return to dust, and dust will return to earth. After chanting at the entrance of the tomb, the Ghost Eye Daoist led Mu Sheng to the outside of the silver needle, and then used the talisman to summon a tornado, covering the yellow sand again within the range of the silver needle, and after casting the spell, this place was no different from the situation of being covered by yellow sand before.

Before the sky was about to dawn, the two quietly returned to the inn, and there were people with such skills as the Ghost Eye Daoist, so naturally no one could find out their strange whereabouts.

Mu Sheng ran with the Ghost Eye Daoist all night, and now he is very tired from lying in bed, but he was bitten by a jackal, and it is the first time he has seen tomb robberies and dried corpses, his body is very tired, but his spirit is surprisingly excited, and he can't sleep. I couldn't help but think that the strange guidance skills that I hadn't practiced for a long time seemed to have the effect of relieving fatigue, so I was on the bed and did a breathing guide, and it didn't take long for the fatigue of the body to recover, and the whole person's spirit was quiet.

"Huh?" Mu Sheng suddenly let out an exclamation.

After calming down, Mu Sheng suddenly felt that when he was practicing guidance, the brand he was wearing on his chest seemed to follow his breath, and a cool breath was inhaled from the air and injected into his body.

When he woke up, it was noon, Mu Sheng rubbed his eyes, felt that the soreness in his body had completely disappeared, and happily got out of bed and went to find the Ghost Eye Daoist.

The Ghost Eye Daoist had already woken up, and was studying the ancient book in the room at this time, Mu Sheng only knew that the book was written in the ancient Juelou script, but the content of the text was completely incomprehensible.

"Master, do you still know the Julou Wen?" Mu Sheng looked at the Taoist with adoring eyes.

"Those who do our line of work must know how to use the words and languages, otherwise they will not enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed when they are used. The ghost-eyed Taoist said lightly.

"How did you do it? I have to learn martial arts and Taoism, and I have to learn written language, just one of them, it is very difficult for me to learn it well, and I can't even get into the door in a few years. Mu Sheng asked with admiration.

Hearing Mu Sheng's question, the Ghost Eye Daoist showed a strange smile on his face, and said, "I also studied for several years before I got started, and I am no different from you." It's just that I have more time than you do. ”

"How so? Aren't you or I twelve hours a day? And you're a little busier than me, and even if you're older than me, it's shocking enough to know so many skills. Mu Shengqi said.

"And how old do you think I am?" the Taoist asked, curling the corners of his mouth.

"If I hadn't known that the master was a cultivator, I would have thought he would be in his early thirties at most just by looking at his face, but now that I know that the master is a cultivator, I guess the master's age should actually be in his forties, right?" Mu Sheng replied uncertainly.

The Ghost Eye Daoist did not directly answer Mu Sheng's words, but stretched out his finger and compared it first with two and then with four.

"Twenty-four ......?" Mu Sheng was puzzled.

"Two hundred and forty years old, I don't realize that I have lived in this world for so long. The Ghost-Eyed Daoist sighed and said in a desolate tone.

"This ......, how is it possible. When Mu Sheng heard the ghost eye Taoist say this, his eyes couldn't help but fall off.

"There is no nail in the mountains, and the sun and the moon are long in the world. Xiuzhen forgets the years, and waits to look at the white head. The Ghost Eye Daoist had already put down the ancient book at this time and read out a poem leisurely.

"If it weren't for the approaching deadline, in order to find a glimmer of opportunity, how could I be willing to do this tomb robbery. The Taoist sighed faintly.

"Do you feel like you've lived a long time at the age of two hundred and forty?" the Ghost Eye Daoist sneered at Mu Sheng's stunned appearance. "And what would you think if someone lived to be a thousand years old?"

"Immortals. Mu Sheng blurted out.

"The powerful man who buried the ancient city of the Peerless Tower is afraid that he is thousands of years old, but he can't be regarded as an immortal. The Ghost Eye Daoist also had a respectful tone in his tone when he mentioned this matter.

"What, the Ancient City of the Peerless Tower was buried by great power, isn't it a curse?" Mu Sheng was stunned.

"In the eyes of you mortals, this can be regarded as a fairy method, isn't the punishment of the gods a curse!"
