After reading the epitaph, Guo Hong learned that this Wang Xianqiao had not actually been the master of the Nine Truths, and the master at that time was his senior brother Xue Jichang.

Xue Jichang ascended on February 1 of the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, and Wang Xianqiao temporarily took the position of the lord, and before he was officially appointed by the imperial court, he also soared on March 30.

So he only served as a vicarfor for more than a month.

The above describes the life of Wang Xianqiao in detail, as the ancestor of the Hengshan faction, these deeds Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen and other disciples are already familiar.

Guo Hong and his senior brother knelt on the ground to worship, and said: "The ancestor has a spirit, the Wang family was wiped out, and I waited for the younger disciples to come to investigate, disturbed the mausoleum, and hoped to forgive the sin!" ”

"Why don't we go back?" Cao Shouzhen whispered.

Guo Hong shook his head: "I've come here, if you don't find out the truth, sooner or later you will be succeeded by thieves." At that time, Patriarch Wang will still be disturbed! ”

He bypassed the epitaph and walked into the main burial chamber, but was blocked by the tomb door.

However, I scanned left and right but did not find any mechanism, it seems that the owner of the tomb does not want to be disturbed after his death, and the stone door outside can be opened with green jade, perhaps for future generations to enter and collect treasures.

Guo Hong said: "It seems that the main tomb has no mechanism, so let's go to the ear room next to it." ”

Cao Shouzhen nodded, and the two walked to the left ear chamber together.

The transept generally has the shape of a door, and does not have a tomb door, but is more like a cave in which the objects that the tomb owner likes in front of him are stacked.

The first thing that catches their eye when they go inside is the beautiful murals.

Guo Hong held the torch and watched carefully, the techniques of painting on the wall and the tomb outside seemed to be made by different people, and the style was more archaic.

The mural story seems to tell the story of a woman's life.

The beginning of the opening chapter uses Li Yannian's poem: There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, looking at the city and the country.

Guo Hong saw that this woman seemed to be from a poor family, married a high-ranking official when she grew up, and later worshipped a Taoist priest as a teacher, and learned witchcraft from a Miao woman.

There are many words at the end of the mural, and if you read it carefully, it is a Taoist method, called Xianwang Jue.

When Guo Hong was concentrating on looking at the mural, Cao Shouzhen also searched this ear chamber carefully, in addition to some daily necessities for the funeral, there was also a pair of horse bones, which seemed to be the favorite horse of the tomb owner.

"If you want to become a great road, when you put it in the place of death and then live, you have traveled the world for more than 30 years, and you are fortunate to have the great wizard Zhao Gongming of the ghost country in Qingcheng Damian Mountain, named Immortal King.

"This technique shocks the past and the present, and the way of heaven and man is also! However, all things depend on blessings and misfortunes, and when cultivating, the liver and intestines are broken, and the children of the next generation must not practice it in vain unless they have great perseverance......"

Guo Hong practiced the "Huang Ting Jing" and did not want to change to practice other exercises, but he was also very curious, the so-called stones of other mountains can attack jade, and there is no harm in remembering and reading more, so he memorized the full text carefully.

"Cultivating immortals must practice immortal treasures, if practicing treasures as a body, then the body is like a treasure, immortal for thousands of years...... When you choose a spiritual object as your heart, your inner breath is like water, and the water is good and virtuous, and it is endless, then the spirit is born......"

This exercise is not long, but more than 100 words, Guo Hong runs his mind according to the above, and after a while, his heart is as impetuous as a fire, and he can't calm down at all.

He hastily stopped, and found himself sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of water.

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Cao Shouzhen was a little worried.

"It's okay, let's go look on the other side."

The two of them turned to the ear chamber on the right, which was not on the left, but had a tomb door.

But perhaps it was old, and the wooden portal was rotten, and a faint glimmer of light could be seen in the darkness inside.

Cao Shouzhen lifted the hoe in his hand, scattered the rotten wood to the ground in a few clicks, and the two entered the room.

Under the light of the fire, the walls inside were bare and without paintings, like a crude cave.

In the center was an earthen platform, on which the mat was also rotten.

On the mat sat a skeleton against the wall.

Guo Hong took a closer look, there were still wisps of clothes on the skeleton that were not rotten, especially the chest and abdomen were blackened, and the figure was a petite woman.

His heart moved, thinking of the story on the mural in the ear chamber on the left, could it be that this woman was the beautiful woman in the painting?

"Senior brother, look here!" Cao Shouzhen pointed to the woman's corpse in his hand, which was a dagger, beautifully worked, and seemed to have an extraordinary origin.

Guo Hong picked up the dagger, and saw a line of words carved on the wall next to the bones, so he leaned over to take a closer look.

"Jun's heart is like water, his love is deep and long-lived, he defends the law by example, although he has no regrets in death!"

He was slightly stunned, and then saw the mess of clothes in the heart of the skeleton suddenly explode, and a ray of black light rushed straight to the door!

Guo Hong was caught off guard, and instinctively raised the dagger to block it, only to hear a crisp sound, and the dagger was broken into two!

The black light popped up in reverse, drew an arc in the air, and pounced on Guo Hong again!

Guo Hong waved the torch to resist, and Cao Shouzhen also reacted at this time, picked up the hoe and swept away.

The black light swirled around in the air, always flying up and down around Guo Hong.

At this time, the two brothers also saw the appearance of this black light, and it turned out to be a black bug the size of a thumb!

A moment later, the hoe was also broken, and Cao Shouzhen was left with only half a short stick in his hand.

But the black insect seemed to be afraid of fire, and Guo Hong danced the torch through the wind and rain, and it couldn't get close for a while.

With a whoosh, the bug suddenly disappeared.

Guo Hong danced a few more times, and gradually slowed down, he was still on high alert, but it was unrealistic to keep dancing, so he could only stop slowly.

The bugs didn't appear right away, and both of them were secretly relieved.

"Maybe it's somewhere else." Cao Shouzhen whispered.

Guo Hong snorted, and he waited for a while before he really relaxed and continued to check the situation around him.

"There's a box here." Cao Shouzhen kicked open a wooden box with his foot, "It's Nanmu, this is the wood used to make the coffin." ”

In the box was a copper seal, Cao Shouzhen put down the wooden stick in his hand, picked it up and looked at it carefully, he recognized the seal on it: "Hussar General's Seal!" ”。

Guo Hong said: "Maybe this woman is the wife and concubine of a general, but why is she in the tomb of Patriarch Wang?" He also put down half of the dagger and took the official seal from his senior brother.

Cao Shouzhen held the torch and continued to inspect the wooden box, there was a document underneath, he opened it and looked at it, and said: "This is the document of the naturalized female crown Taoist priest of the Lu family, and this woman should be the Lu family." Could it be that Patriarch Wang stole the wife of the hussar general? ”

The two brothers looked at each other, and felt that they should not discuss it any further, so they should go back to the master about this matter.

Guo Hong was just about to put the copper seal back into the wooden box when he saw something in the shadow of the box that seemed to be staring at him.

He was terrified, and hurriedly returned his hand to block, and the black worm had already erupted.

Guo Hong's hand was quick, and he twisted it with the five fingers of his right hand, and the insect squeaked and struggled!

Cao Shouzhen also reached out to help, and the black worm seemed to feel the danger, and shook suddenly, and his tail pierced into Guo Hong's fingertips!
