Volume 1 The World Chapter 21 The King's Tomb X Selection
The mass grave in the west of the city is still as gloomy and gloomy as ever, the night is deep, and the confused fog is like a thin black veil, shrouding the mass grave in it.
Since the mass grave has been cultivated, the old locust tree in front of it was cut off by a sword of the Ming Sword, there are fewer people who come here, and even a few days ago, when burying a few townspeople from Zhou Wangji, who were poisoned too deeply and died, the corpse bearers also came and went in a hurry, putting the corpses directly on the ground, and they didn't even have time to dig the pit, and they were scared away by a sudden yin wind.
Although he had been here a few times before, tonight, when Tie Jun stepped on the mass grave again, he obviously felt that the yin qi here was heavier, and he vaguely sensed some kind of hidden uneasiness in the low hills of the dwarf trees in the twilight around him.
Ming Jian seemed to be able to feel his nervousness that was almost fearful, and gently pressed his shoulder, "You have been practicing qigong diligently recently, and your spiritual sense has increased accordingly, so you have a keen sense of this kind of place, plus it is late, the yang qi is dormant, and the yin qi is flourishing, so you will feel uneasy, don't worry, it's not a big deal." ”
Tie Jun took a deep breath, and his nervous emotions calmed down, "I know that Dao, Master, it's just a little uncomfortable, I believe it will be used soon!" ”
Ming Jian nodded, Tie Jun was a teenager after all, and it was not surprising that he felt nervous when he came to this kind of place in the middle of the night.
This mass grave in the west of the city has a long history, the most recent can be traced back to 6,000 years ago, here was once used as a battlefield, there were many major battles, the bones of the dead are all over, but later after the new dynasty, a prince was sealed here, he saw that although the Niujiaozi Mountain is not big, but the trees are luxuriant, full of vitality, so people will transform this place, change it in the hunting ground of the palace, and come here to hunt every autumn, this situation has lasted for more than 300 years, and the newer dynasty has replaced the original dynasty, It gradually became uncared for, and after more than 500 years, a prince was divided here, that is, the king of Yue.
King Yue is a powerless prince, and he was driven here as a scapegoat, he died after being sealed here, and he could not be buried in the royal tomb after his death, so he could only choose a nearby place with good feng shui to be buried, this is the tomb of King Yue they were looking for, and it has a history of two or three thousand years from now.
The reason why the mass grave is called the post is entirely because its main body is on a small hill, in addition to the flat part, there is also a part of the other side of the hill, the lonely grave in Niujiaozi Mountain, most of them are left by the previous dynasty, and there is a history of more than 100 years, and the tomb of King Yue is in the depths of Niujiaozi Mountain.
This piece is located in the Niujiaozi Mountain around the lonely tomb is a low shrub jungle, yearning for the depths is a small valley, on the other side of the valley, is a cliff, the tomb of King Yue is under the cliff, after thousands of years of ups and downs, the tomb that was still a grand tomb is now only the entrance of a dungeon, the magnificent buildings built on the ground have almost been blown away by the rain and wind, there is no original appearance.
With the Ming sword, he passed through a bush of dense bushes and came to the top of the cliff, and walked along the cliff for about two or three miles, and then he saw a dilapidated stone stele, just like his memory.
This dilapidated stele is more than one person high, the upper part has long been gone, and the mottled handwriting is not clear, so it can only be vaguely seen that it should be a brief introduction to the life of this prince.
Tie Jun carefully observed the stele, looking for some traces in his memory, suddenly, as if he had found something, he slowly stretched out his hand, gently supported the side of the stele, and slowly slid down, when his hand slid to the middle of the stele, stopped, and then twisted.
Smack!!
There was a sound of a thin machine spring popping open from the stele, and then it fell backwards with a bang, and an underground entrance appeared in front of the two of them.
"This is the place?!"
As the entrance appeared, a strong musty smell swept up, and both Ming Jian and Tie Jun couldn't help but cover their noses.
"Yes, this is the place!" Tie Jun covered his nose with his sleeve and walked down first.
In his memory of this tomb, there is no danger in this underground palace, this Yue Wang is not a favored royal family, so the things after his death are not so grand, whether it is a funeral goods or a mausoleum, it is not as good as other royal families, this so-called underground palace, in fact, is just a basement in a special position. The square circle is only three or four zhang square, and in the middle is the coffin of King Yue, which has begun to decay.
He had no interest in the coffin, which had been stolen countless times, and his goal was to find a frozen skeleton in the left corner of the dungeon.
This is a tomb robber, sixty years ago, there was only a wisp of ghost left, Chen Jiu, who was looking for yin qi everywhere, found this underground palace, and felt that the yin qi of the underground palace here was more pure than other places, so he often left the old locust tree and came here to replenish the yin qi, and then, he watched this tomb robber dig a robbery hole from the top of the underground palace, and the tools he carried on his body were too heavy, smashing a brick in the corner of the wall, and the cracks of the cold evil stone bricks poured out, and instantly froze the tomb robber into ice, It's still the same way he fell from the cave.
And those cold evil qi are the yin and yang clutch evil qi.
Because of the blockage of this corpse, this evil aura only lingered in the corner of the wall, and did not spread in all directions, but even so, it made this underground palace more than ten degrees colder than the outside.
Although Tie Jun is a young man and has a lot of fire, he can't stand it after staying in such a cold underground palace for a long time, and now his body is already trembling because of the excessive temperature.
"You go back and prepare first, at most the day after tomorrow, I can cultivate this magical power!" Ming Jian's qigong is profound, and he is not very afraid of evil qi, and even walked to the corner of the wall, carefully felt the faint evil qi coming from the corner of the wall, and suddenly raised his head and said to Tie Jun, "Your qigong cultivation is too shallow, once I move this corpse, you will be disturbed by evil qi, fortunately, you are not in a hurry to come here to cultivate this magical power, otherwise you will end up like this corpse!" ”
"So, good intentions are rewarded!" Tie Jun smiled as he walked, "Master, do you want me to help you protect the Dharma outside?" ”
"No need, just do what you have to do, remember, before I go back, no matter what Master Yang does, no matter what happens in the county, you don't care!"
"I'm not that stupid!" Tie Jun said with a smile, although he didn't know Yang Mingfan's true thoughts, he could still feel Yang Mingfan's faint hostility towards him, such a person who had bad intentions towards him, of course Tie Jun was secretly wary.
However, it seems to be influenced by the person in the dream, he believes that strength determines everything, Yang Mingfan has some prestige in Tanglin County, and has been a master for several terms, but in the final analysis, he is just a scholar, the Yang family is also a prestigious family in Tanglin County, but most of the people in the clan are businessmen and scholars, and they are all some powerless people, although I heard that his own manor also invited some Zhuangke Nursing Homes, but in Tie Jun's opinion, these Zhuangke Nursing Homes are not on the table, and their loyalty is very suspicious, So Tie Jun was not afraid of Yang Mingfan, he really provoked him, and burned Yang Zhuang with a fire, so what could Yang Mingfan do?
Therefore, from the beginning, he did not put Yang Mingfan in his eyes, but this contempt made him pay the price.
On the second day, rumors spread throughout Tanglin, mainly against Tie Jun, these rumors shaped him into a proud and natural, self-serving, and at the same time a young man with low eyes, just by a trace of luck to become the county lieutenant, the rumors spread to the most rear, and even blamed their master and apprentice for the troubles encountered in Tanglin County now, if it wasn't for his confidence, I'm afraid he would have gone to Yang Mingfan to theorize now.
"Junzi, oh, no, Lord County Lieutenant, I have already found out about this matter, it was spread in the county by the guys under Yang Laosan's faction, damn, what a big boldness, I'm going to teach him a lesson!!"
In the county governor's mansion, Tie Jun leaned on the back of the chair, swaying and shaking, looking very carefree, but his expression was not good-looking, and Chen Sheng, the deputy head catcher, stood beside him, telling him carefully about the rumors that had appeared in the county town in the past few days and the direction he was pointing to.
"It's nothing, just let them make a fuss, by the way, what's going on with the boys and girls? Is it elected? ”
"It has been selected a long time ago, there is a tenant in Yangzhuang, there are many children in the family, and they can't open the pot anymore, so they sent a pair of eight-year-old twins over, I heard that Yang Mingfan gave them a lot of silver, and there is also a pair of eight-year-old men and women from the old Chen family in the mountain village."
"The old Chen family in the mountain village?!" Tie Jun's heart moved, "I heard that the old Chen family and the Yang family are not in harmony!" ”
"The relationship between the two families is the same as water and fire, I didn't expect Yang Mingfan to take this opportunity to take revenge, asking the old Yang family for several generations, but relying on such a son, now he wants to sacrifice to the river god, this Yang Mingfan is really too much!"
"This old Chen family can agree?!"
"Of course it's impossible, I've already come to make trouble, his family is a hunter in the mountains, and his temper is tight, otherwise he wouldn't have been in trouble with the Yang family for so many years because of a tree, but it's just this one family to make trouble, even if others think that Yang Mingfan is too much, this time he will be on his side, his timing is too good."
"It's a good time!" A cold smile appeared on Tie Jun's face, the mountain village is at the foot of Niujiaozi Mountain, half of the families are living by hunting, the old Chen family has been hunters for generations, and they have a lot of prestige in the mountain village, so they can compete with the nearby Yang family, and they have beaten the people of the Yang family several times, Yang Mingfan is helpless to them, this time looking for an opportunity, and not ruthlessly killing the old Chen family!
