"Plop!" Although the Eight Snakes said that the secret passage was in the clear spring next to the Emperor's Mausoleum, in fact, the "side" was nearly three kilometers away from the mausoleum, after all, no one would be idle to build their ancestral tomb and the place where they settled a hundred years later next to the lake, so Chongzai finally dived to the bottom of the lake after more than 30 minutes of comparing with the map

"Although the bottom of the lake looks dim at first glance, after all, these eyes have good eyesight, so they can barely make out the outline

"When I swam to the secret door, I found that the gate had been locked with an iron lock, so I guess I found it here after the foundation of the mausoleum was destroyed, but in this case, don't you send someone to watch the lake?" Also, if someone comes here from time to time to inspect it, it may only be counterproductive

Chong swam around to find the keyhole and poke it open, but he didn't find the keyhole, it wasn't locked at all! By the way, this is a grave, not a door! How can you leave a lock to pick!

"Well, I didn't want to do that, but since IS is waterproof, he can only be violent

"Pounce!" After a while, a column of water more than a foot high splashed in the lake, and it seemed that a lot of fish had been blown up along the way

“？” Chong, who was about to swim in, suddenly stopped the car, because the iron door was blown open and revealed the second prohibition inside, and the eight runes floated in the water to form a spider web to seal the entrance, and the fluorescent purple light flashed as if it was pointing the way for him, of course, it could only be used for him to guide the way

Without hesitation, Ka bit his index finger, and then the blood flowed down the water to the prohibition, destroying it in pieces as soon as it touched it

"Tie your index finger as fast as you can, and swim into the dark passage, the oxygen is almost insufficient, I hope the secret goodbye is too long, I don't want to drown in this hellish place."

"Poof!" Fortunately, the dark passage is really not too long, because there are many shore ports during the period, and after picking a limit point, it surfaces directly. The emperor was worried that his ancestors would be bored, so he deliberately opened a back door? This is a mausoleum, not an old people's home!

(The general structure of the interior of the mausoleum is the gate, the enlightenment road, the purification pool, the Zhuxingtai, the road to send Ying, and then walk down the steps to place the coffin of the underground burial chamber, the tomb will only open the door when there is a dead person passing through) Chong used to talk to the descendants of the tomb maker about this matter, and then when he was confused, he asked about the structure in the mausoleum, so it is really good to say that Japan has canceled the feudal tradition of sealing tombs and killing people

(Now I should have passed the bidet pool and so on, but the lake where the secret passage is located is the cleansing pool?) After seeing the high platform, Chong deliberately turned around and explored the way, and there was a lack of a clean body pool for washing the body between the Qiming Road that carried the coffin and the Zhuxingtai where the ancestors worshipped the ancestors, and sure enough, the Japanese really like to take a bath

(There are no traps until you enter the catacombs, except for a bit of trouble opening the door...... I haven't been strong enough to swim nearly 700 meters in one breath with a dead corpse on my back, so what should I do when I open the stone gate? Is it difficult or just fried? Don't be kidding, if you dare to blow up the tomb, you will be cut by a thousand knives the next day

After walking along the road of sending Ying with ninety-nine wax burns, Chong came to the top of the tomb, and then he looked at the flat stone slab in front of him, and he really didn't know what to do

"Oops, oops~ It's amazing, I'm afraid there's no place in this world where you can't get in~" There was a chilling laugh from behind, and this voice was very familiar

"Yakumo Murasaki?!" When Chong hurriedly looked back, he was already blocked by a fan

"Alas, alas~ Are you so excited to see me?" After a while, Yakumo Murasaki, who was chuckling lightly, leaned on the gap and looked at herself, "It's been a long time, you seem to be getting better and better."

"Do you want to sit aside and collect the fisherman" There is an enchantment in the mausoleum that works exclusively against youkai, and at the same time, spatial abilities should also be absolutely forbidden here

"My ability is not limited to space, I am a monster of the realm, and the gap is just an accessory of the ability," Yakumo Zi explained as if he saw his own thoughts, "As for the enchantment~ You can't know the purpose of the thing you carry, right?" ”

"You're going to have my Nine Heart Lock?" Chong swept the pendant hanging around his neck to the side and revealed another red and transparent half-lock, which was a souvenir dug out of the ground before, because he heard that it was very precious, he simply hung it around his neck, and later when he looked through the ancient books, he learned that this thing was used to seal monsters, and it could not be detected by evil spirits just by carrying it on his body, and at the same time it could also dispel miasma and Gu spells, so it may be that the enchantment was dispelled together as a Gu spell

"It's so smart~ so can you?"

"Dreaming" blocked the lock handle with his collar, and said coldly, "I won't give you anything you want."

"Even if you can't get under the tomb, you won't give it?" Yakumo Zi said that he had a weakness in his hand and couldn't help but disagree, "Don't be stubborn~ It's useless for this thing to stay on you~ You can't unlock this lock, otherwise you wouldn't have split it in half, it's a failure of interpretation, right~"

"Still a word, don't give"

"Please~"

"Nope"

"Please~"

"Just don't give it, can you not make it the same as a child begging for something?!"

"A lot of old people have nothing to do, and I don't have anything to do except tease the children," Yakumo Zi jumped out of the gap and landed steadily, "Isn't there a saying in the Celestial Empire that it is good to meet and laugh at each other, come, laugh and smile~"

"Don't talk nonsense, what are you looking for in the mausoleum" Chong obviously won't eat this set again, "This time it's about you, right?"

"What's the matter," Yakumo Zi turned back to his serious appearance as a monster sage as soon as he opened the folding fan, and the evil aura that belonged to the big monster made the surrounding candle flames shake with it, "Do you want to stop me?" I've always let you go."

"I'm really afraid of you in that prison, but in the outside world, others can touch me, and only you demons will never dare to do it" Chong said this time, obviously intending to take the initiative, "No matter how seamless you are, you can't hide those old men who know astrology, they will be happy to waste three years of yang life for me alone, do you bet or not?" ”

"I've gambled countless times in my life, and none of them gave up at the beginning, but this time I don't bet, and I also clearly understand this" Yakumo Zi closed the gap and signaled that he didn't plan to do it, "Those old men need someone to take over, you are the best successor they have set, if it weren't for the Jieyun family to cover you, they would have run to your so-called military headquarters to rob people"

"But why are you stopping me, last time I forced you to make a choice, this time I don't plan to force you, think for yourself, what does their suffering have to do with you" Yakumo Murasaki intends to lead this time. lure yourself to a deeper path of no return than you are now" I know your destiny, sublimated in the disaster, just like the phoenix nirvana reborn, I am helping you light the fire this time"

"What's the character?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, although you have a mantra to mend the sky, you can't hide it from my family's Shikigami, if you want to say that there is no one in the world who can catch up with the blue neck" Yakumo Zi half-narrowed his eyes, "That fox is your mother's Shikami, but I can be regarded as half of her teacher, if you want to say that no one cares about her more than me, I used to joke with you in the enchantment, but if you want, I will definitely take care of you as my own family"

"What do you want this lock for a long time?"

"It's very simple, it's just unlocked, my resume and insight are not comparable to you, and the geniuses picked out in the mentally handicapped are still too young compared to me" Yakumo Zi chuckled "The Nine Heart Lock is an absolute prohibition for sealing items, monsters, books, antiquities, souls, treasures, and those who are qualified to enter this lock must be priceless treasures"

"Of course, these are treasures for us."

“！” Chong immediately stepped back, a treasure for a youkai? Then I can't give this thing to her!

"Although the Nine Heart Lock will automatically recognize the Lord once it comes into contact with living beings, it's not that I can't do this kind of thing as killing people and seizing the lock" Yakumo Zi shook the folding fan in his hand, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I said I was reluctant to kill you for the sake of your mother's face"

"Let me remind you first, there is a token sealed in this lock, the Yaqi Demon Snake should have mentioned that thing to you, and the token is the shackle that ordered it" Yakumo Zi pointed to the tomb door with a folding fan, and then a gap was quietly opened on the top of the stone door, "Go in, but I don't know anything about what is below, I may not be able to catch up to save you if something happens."

Chong jumped into the gap after holding the half-lock in his hand, a big youkai like Yakumo Purple should not be able to deceive himself

"Why give him the choice?" The candle flickered for a while, and then the darkness that seemed to engulf everything rose from the light, "Should you know if he can unlock the lock, or are you going to grab it directly?" ”

"I didn't mean to snatch that thing, and besides, wouldn't it be the same for him to be your master" Yakumo Zi closed the gap, "Didn't you fool him in front of those three wells, and spend the only and probably last chance on him, you have a crush on him, don't you?"

"His soul is very strong, as long as he can guide it, he is enough to become my master"

"I really don't know if I should be happy," Yakumo Zi stretched out his hand, took out an umbrella from the newly opened gap, and spun it around, "Is this a compliment or an insult?" ”

"It is a thing to be praised that there is darkness in man"

"I sometimes wonder if I could have kept her" Yakumo Murasaki rarely recalls the past, but at this time, she couldn't help but think of the past as she watched that man's son grow up like this, "When I met her by chance, I decided that she was the new witch I was looking for, and I watched her change her surname to Hakurei, and then I also watched her glory be hidden under the clouds, in fact, when Lan Bu calculated that her eldest son had the ability to defy the sky, I thought about bringing him to me to raise, but unfortunately I was merciful, her smile at that time was full of joy to become a mother, I can't imagine what the consequences of doing this will be."

"He was very lucky"

"What do you think? Maybe, although he is rebellious, at least sensible, his parents left him a lot of things, he didn't ask for resources, but he has incomparable connections, even if he openly turns his back on the Yuyun clan one day, they won't give up on him, because he still has a child with parents "Yakumo Purple holds up an umbrella" Is it too much? ”

"There's no next step?"

"I'm a youkai sage, and I won't let a child get what he wants in front of me, especially when the wish is the same as mine" Yakumo Shisaki stood motionless in the middle of the road "He was interested in the monster thing just to repay his mother's kindness, I just waited here, he knows very well who is more valuable in the end of the envoy you or the killing of you"

"I can't die"

"Don't underestimate human beings, we used to say this kind of thing at the beginning" Yakumo Zi looked at the candles around him and said silently, "If I could, I would like to spend the rest of my life in peace and security, but neither the will of humans nor this world will allow the existence of a happy land"

"As long as there are people, then the smoke will rise, destruction is the only prerequisite for development, human beings need stimulation to break the deadlock, and I need fire to burn a path"

(At the same time, I also let people who shouldn't be alive climb to the top step by step)
