Chapter 9 The Tomb Keepers

Chen Yuanyuan was also a little jealous of Ma Yuanyuan, this girl gave her a very dangerous feeling, knowing that it would not end well if she really started, but she was bound to win the Ziwei sword, so she had to stare at Wang Jian with an annoyed face, and somehow, in front of him, she never used the tactful tricks she learned in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, she just blindly used it strongly, and never gave in! It seems that she can only regard dignity as more important than anything else in front of Wang Jian.

Wang Jian saw that Chen Yuanyuan didn't seem to show signs of giving in, and knew that she was extremely stubborn and couldn't force too much, so he had to throw the Ziwei Sword to her and said, "Oh, take the token, don't regret it." ”

Chen Yuanyuan took the crape myrtle sword with a "hum", and then put it into the Tianmu pipa, and sure enough, the pipa shook again, and when Yuanyuan closed the mountain pass of the pipa, the Tianmu pipa suddenly became shiny again! As she expected, it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang used the imperial spirit of this crape myrtle sword to suppress the untimely spirit of Tianmu Pipa. Later, the world was stable, and there was no need for the crape myrtle sword, in the long years, the two depended on each other, and finally became one, and the Tianmu pipa became the scabbard of the crape myrtle sword! And without the Ziwei Sword, the Tianmu Pipa also lost its true aura.

"Okay, you will be my daughter-in-law in the future." Wang Jian saw that Yuanyuan was excited, and reminded happily.

"Hmph, who told you to get out of the way." Chen Yuanyuan said disdainfully.

Wang Jian looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who had a disdainful face, and said with an evil smile: "Since you are not trustworthy, don't blame me for taking back the Ziwei Sword." ”

Chen Yuanyuan glanced at him with a look of contempt, as if to say, you can't beat me, how can you get it back?

Wang Jian smiled, gently let go of his concubine, his whole body was full of true qi, and his hands were gently summoned, and suddenly, the pipa in Chen Yuanyuan's hand was indeed as he expected, and it shook violently, and Ziwei Jian felt that his true qi seemed to be about to break out of the cocoon again!

"You!!" Chen Yuanyuan glared at him angrily while urging her true qi to forcibly suppress the Tianmu pipa, but no matter how she urged her true qi, she still couldn't suppress it gradually. Just when the Ziwei Sword was about to break out of the cocoon again, Wang Jian's true anger was retracted, and suddenly the Tianmu Pipa was quiet again.

Wang Jian glanced at her infinitely proudly, and Chen Yuanyuan also glared back at him with an unwilling expression, presumably she also knew: Wang Jian wanted to retrieve the Ziwei Sword in a matter of minutes!

"It's up to you to do in the future." Wang Jian said arrogantly.

"Little Niangpi, I still don't believe I can't cure you." Wang Jian's heart was in ecstasy at the moment, and he was even happier to be able to cure Chen Yuanyuan than to get the Ziwei Sword. Now he has the Xuanyuan Mirror and the Ziwei Sword, the three imperial artifacts, and he has the second of them.

"I don't know what the Mandate of Heaven is?" Wang Jian silently thought that not only had he not seen it, but also the Ming Emperors of all dynasties had not seen it, and according to legend, the Mandate of Heaven Seal disappeared without a trace after Yuanmeng's escape to Mobei.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't answer, she carefully observed the Tianmu pipa, and then entered her true qi little by little, feeling the changes in the pipa, and slowly she found that as long as she cooperated with the special pronunciation structure of the pipa, she could isolate the aura of the crape myrtle sword from the outside world, forming a special confined space, and even absorb the aura of the crape myrtle sword for her own use. Of course, Wang Jian didn't know anything about this, and he thought that he had eaten Chen Yuanyuan thoroughly, but he was cracked in a blink of an eye.

In the secret room under the Wuying Palace, there is not only an altar, but also many "sacrifices", which is simply a small arsenal, with all kinds of weapons and many martial arts classics. At a glance, she took a fancy to a red tassel gun called "Yinxue" in the corner, the body of the gun was as crystal as snow, and the head of the gun was very black, as strange as a poisonous snake spitting out a letter in a moonlit night. She happily ran to Wang Jian to offer treasure and said, "Brother Jane, look, what a beautiful spear." “

Wang Jian took the spear that was very inconspicuous and was thrown in the corner before: it seemed like silver but not silver, like iron and not iron, and it always felt strange in his heart, and he couldn't say that it was weird and evil, but since he liked it, he was also very happy for her.

Qi'er and Yao'er also picked a pair of twin swords called "Frost" and "Drizzle".

Wang Chengen is also a master of the realm of kings, but he doesn't seem to see what weapons he uses, although Wang Jian is curious, but due to the particularity of the eunuch's body, there must be some strange exercises, so he is embarrassed to ask.

Soon, Wang Jian found a treasure chest on a case, which contained a humanoid mask soaked in a mysterious potion, and after Wang Jian quietly took it out and brought it, it seemed to be a different person, thinking that this was also Zhu Di's only use for future generations to escape. Wang Jian took advantage of Yao'er's inattention and saved her.

Yao'er turned her head and saw that it was a stranger holding her, and she screamed in fright, causing Wang Jian to laugh "haha". Only then did Yao'er find out that it was the emperor's prank, and her little face suddenly turned red.

Then Yao'er found that there was a small room in the secret passage, which seemed to have been dug up in recent decades, and there was a pile of boxes in it. He picked up a silver ingot and looked at it, only to see four big characters engraved at the bottom: Wanli Tibetan Silver.

I have heard that Emperor Wanli is not only absent from work for decades and does not go to court, but also a greedy man, especially fond of hiding silver, buried a lot of silver taels in the palace, and finally forgot where to bury it, and was secretly dug up by the eunuchs, but I didn't expect him to hide so much in the secret passage.

"The emperor is rich all over the world, but he treats silver taels as private property like a miser, which is ridiculous, ridiculous." Wang Jian sighed, "It's really troublesome to get out so much silver, forget it, I don't want to, I won't run away with long legs anyway," he shook his head, and simply went back to the secret room to study the martial arts of this world, if he didn't understand, he asked Wang Chengen and his concubine, as for Chen Yuanyuan, he also consulted, but unsurprisingly, he was scolded again, and then he didn't dare to ask her again.

Before I knew it, three days had passed, and I didn't know what the situation was outside. Wang Jian thought about it again and again and decided that it was better to go north to stabilize the Guanning Iron Cavalry first, as long as he joined Wu Sangui, then there would be a strong army, and it would be much more stable to gather the old troops along the way to the south.

At the foot of the military mountain in the north of the city.

At this time, it is the twilight of spring, and the whole valley is lush and thriving.

"Third brother, why did you say that Grandpa asked us to be on duty here?" A teenager asked, flipping the hare

The third brother said: "The ghost knows, yesterday's heavy rain almost drenched us in soup, and grandpa didn't let us go back, let us stay in the valley, just said that when we heard there was movement in the mountain, we would immediately go back to report, there must be something important." ”

"What can be done in these barren mountains? Is it bigger than the destruction of the capital? It is rumored that our ancestors are still a thousand households in brocade clothes, and I haven't seen my grandfather lead us King Qin to kill the enemy. ”

"No, it's a great time to make a contribution," the third brother could only sigh when he thought of the ancestral teachings that had hindered the uninterfering in the affairs of the world like his ancestors for generations, and he could only sigh when he thought of the martial arts that he had wasted in the mountains.

"It is said that our Cui family is a mausoleum keeper, but I haven't heard of any emperor buried in this mountain, and the nearest imperial mausoleum is dozens of miles away from our village,"

"You are the grandson of our generation, and grandpa Tai loves you the most, and even your future patriarch doesn't know, how do I know."

The young man cut off a rabbit leg and handed it to the third brother and said: "Hehe, that's what I said, the masters of our generation have done their best, ten steps and one sentry, surrounded this mountain with three layers inside and three layers outside, and they have been waiting for three days, and there are no ghosts, let alone anyone." ”

"Hey, there seems to be movement", the young man put his head on the ground and listened carefully for a long time: "The beast is four-legged, not like a beast, and the number seems to be four or five, quick, third brother, go and inform grandpa!! ”

It is said that not long after Wang Jian and the others walked out of the secret passage, they heard a sparse sound from the surrounding dense forest, and soon more than 100 villagers surrounded Wang Jian and the others.

The first gray-haired old man over seventy saw Wang Jian and others appear, he was very excited, and knelt down on one knee and said: "Long live, the old minister has been waiting for you for three days, and I am looking forward to you." ”

"Who are you?" Wang Jian looked around vigilantly, secretly on guard.

The old man replied: "The emperor is graceful, the old minister's name is Cui Jian, the ancestor is a thousand households in brocade clothes who followed the grandfather of Cheng, when the grandfather of Cheng found a military registration in addition to the old decrepit ancestor, and ordered the ancestor to be incognito with this, only said that it was the mausoleum keeper, but in fact it was waiting for the day when someone appeared in the secret passage, to the old decay generation has been a full sixteen generations, but I didn't expect it to let the old decay catch up, it is really honored, very honored!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan, who was on the side, laughed coquettishly when he heard this, and his pleasant laughter and enchanting demeanor immediately hooked away the souls of more than 100 villagers around him. Especially the young man who was squatting before, his eyes were about to fall off.

Cui Jiancheng looked confused, he didn't know how his heartfelt words caused this lady to laugh, she was embarrassed for a while, and saw that the villagers she brought were very unreasonable to look directly at "Niangniang", and reprimanded: "There are no rules, how can you see the concubine Niangniang?" Carefully gouge out your dog's eyes, and quickly kneel down to ask the emperor for guilt. ”

The more than 100 villagers seemed to have the discipline of soldiers, and they all knelt down in one fell swoop.

"Cough, cough" Wang Jian coughed dryly, he naturally knew that Chen Yuanyuan was just taking the opportunity to mock him again, how could the king of the dead country be honored?

"Get up,"

Those villagers all stood up according to their words, but their heads were lowered, and they really didn't dare to look at Chen Yuanyuan, who was so beautiful that he had brought disaster to the country and the people.

Wang Chengen also knew Chen Yuanyuan's temperament, so he bypassed the topic and said: "Cui Qianhu, who are these people?" Have you leaked any rumors? ”

Cui Jiancheng knew that this father-in-law doubted the identity of himself and others, so he handed Wang Chengen a pair of small sandalwood waist cards, and replied: "Father-in-law, the name of the lowly village is Cuijia Village, these people are all lowly family members, and the patriarchs of the past generations are all mausoleum guards, and only the mausoleum keepers know the exit of this secret passage, please rest assured that the father-in-law will not leak the news." ”

Wang Chengen took the waist card and looked at it carefully, although the waist card said that it was old and weathered a lot, but it could still be identified as Jinyiwei, and asked: "Then how did you know that the emperor would appear and bring so many people over?" ”

"I heard that the thieves broke the capital six days ago, and I want to come to the emperor who will appear soon, so I am waiting here every day, if the emperor does not appear tomorrow, the humble duty will take the whole village to the capital, kill him upside down, in order to repay the grandfather's mighty imperial grace back then!"

Wang Jian was moved when he heard it, they didn't know when another martyrdom would happen, maybe many generations were hopeless in this life, but they abandoned the ambitions and dreams of generations, just to stick to a promise made back then.
