It was none other than Murong Pingzhou who saved Murong Yanyun.

Murong Pingzhou rescued Murong Yanyun and hurried away outside the mountain with light skills. When I walked to the mountain pass, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me. Murong Pingzhou was alert, thinking that Zhao Kuangyin had sent someone to chase him out, so he hurriedly looked back, but it was Murong Yanyun's jujube red divine horse that came running.

Murong Pingzhou was overjoyed when he saw the divine horse, hugged Murong Yanyun and got on the horse, and galloped away in the northeast direction.

Murong Yanyun saw that Murong Pingzhou had saved him, and said gratefully: "Brother Pingzhou, you actually rescued me in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, I really don't know how to repay such a great favor!" ”

Murong Pingzhou only smiled, "Although I have an enmity with you, after all, we have the same root and origin, and we have joined forces to fight the enemy, and I will never let you die in the hands of others." You remember to me that the only person in this world who is qualified to take your life is me, Murong Pingzhou! ”

Murong Yanyun smiled, "Okay, your life was saved by you, when you want it, just come and get it." ”

The two talked and laughed, but the horse was as fast as the wind, and it was gone.

After traveling for more than half a month, the two arrived at the border of the Liao Kingdom, and Murong Pingzhou slowed down the horse, "Boy, this place already belongs to Liaodong, and my Liaodong Murong still has some strength in this area, so we don't have to hurry." ”

Murong Yanyun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said with some guilt: "Pingzhou, this time it's really thanks to you, I really regret that I shouldn't have killed your father in the first place......

Murong Pingzhou waved his hand, "Didn't the master also find Zhao Kuangyin to kill your whole family, otherwise where did you come from such a big hatred, so the master can't stand you." ”

Murong Pingzhou was a little hungry at this time, and when he saw that there was a restaurant next to him, he tied his horse in front of a restaurant. The two entered the restaurant, asked for some food, and sat down opposite.

Murong Yanyun asked, "Pingzhou, you offended Zhao Kuangyin this time, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Murong Pingzhou said: "My father and I first joined the Shenlong Sect in order to restore the country with their power. Now that the strength of the Shenlong faction is gradually recovering under the leadership of Zhao Kuangyin, I really don't want to lose this help, and now the only way to do it is to return to the helm of the Shenlong faction. ”

Murong Yanyun said excitedly: "It turns out that we all have to restore Da Yan, and that is a fellow practitioner." Why don't we work together in the future and seek a great cause! ”

Murong Pingzhou smiled: "Okay! If I have the power first, then you will be subordinate to me. If you succeed first, the master will obey you, how about it? ”

"That's it!" Murong Yanyun held Murong Pingzhou's hand, and the two of them looked extremely excited. The original enemies became close friends at this time for a common goal.

The two were chatting happily, when they suddenly heard a few neighing horses in front of the restaurant, and a pair of people seemed to have come from afar. The leader was dressed in black, with a black sword hanging from his waist, and it was Murong Yanzhao. And there are three big men beside him, whose martial arts seem to be extraordinary, all of them are full of energy, and they hold blades in their hands. Even more striking was a woman among them, dressed in a luxurious white dress, who had come from a long distance but was spotless, and she held a long sword in her hand, looking sassy and heroic, and not letting her eyebrows go.

Murong Yanyun saw that these people were very unusual, but they were all respectful to the woman in white, thinking that this woman's identity must be unusual. Murong Yanzhao is even more known to him, and he has fought with him several times, although he has a slight upper hand, but Murong Yanzhao's martial arts must not be taken lightly. He couldn't help but be a little nervous and said, "Pingzhou, are our whereabouts exposed?" Looks like we're going to have to fight with them! ”

Murong Pingzhou was also stunned when he saw these people, "Murong Yanzhao, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, Han Chongyun, these generals of Zhao Kuangyin have all been dispatched, it's really bad!" He was already a little overwhelmed, and his heart sank even more when he saw this woman, "What is Lu'er doing here?" She's around these people, how else can we do it? ”

"She is your wife, the current princess of Da Zhou, Chai Lu?" Murong Yanyun heard Murong Pingzhou mention her, but she didn't know that she would see her in this situation, and she was even more at a loss.

Murong Pingzhou saw that these more than ten people got off the horse, entered the restaurant, and said to Murong Yanyun: "I'll drag them down, you take the opportunity to go out through the back door." He said and went out.

Murong Yanyun was helpless, so she had to hurriedly go out the back door, and galloped north without even having time to lead the horse. When he first arrived, he was unfamiliar with the surroundings, and he had not walked long before he strayed into a mountain. He didn't have time to look at the mountains, so he just used all his strength to run into the depths of the mountains.

I don't know how long it took, Murong Yanyun was exhausted, so he stopped and gasped. He saw that he was in a valley between the two mountains, that there was no one around, that there were hares flashing in the grass, and that it was safe to be nearby.

There was a big rock in the valley, and he sat on it, wanting to rest for a while, and then continued on his way. He didn't know that before he sat down, he heard a commotion on the cliff above his head, and he knew that it must be Murong Yanzhao and the others who had arrived, and the secret way was not good, so he hurriedly stood up and walked deeper into the valley.

Murong Yanyun walked forward for a while, and suddenly saw many stone figures and stone horses carved in stone standing in front of him, as if they were dressed in Xianbei, but no one had repaired them for many years, and they were covered with moss, some of which were incomplete.

"What kind of place is this? How do I feel like I'm in an ancient tomb? Murong Yanyun hesitated in her heart, she didn't want to go forward anymore, she turned around and was about to leave.

"That kid seems to be heading here, let's go in and take a look, catch him and hand him over to Lord Zhao to receive the reward!" Behind Murong Yanyun, there was the sound of Shi Shouxin's urn and the sound of the urn. Murong Yanyun heard that these people were getting closer and closer, so she had to walk towards the ancient tomb.

He walked for a long time until he reached the end of the corridor and came to a tall stone gate. The stone door was closed without a single gap.

Murong Yanyun sighed and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that I, Murong Yanyun, would die in front of this ancient tomb today. I don't know if this is the burial place of that senior, it seems that we really have fate......"

There is a stone plaque hidden on the stone gate, which is engraved with several simple and vigorous characters in Xianbei script. Murong Yanyun was originally a Xianbei person, and he knew some Xianbei characters, and he saw that the words on the stone plaque were "the tomb of Murong Ren, Duke of Liaodong".

After Murong Yanyun saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This was originally the mausoleum of the famous Duke Murong Ren of Liaodong, how did I stumble into this place by mistake?" Brother Pingzhou just saved me, and now he is at his ancestral grave again, which is really interesting! ”

At this time, Murong Yanyun could already faintly hear the footsteps of more than a dozen people approaching, and he couldn't help but panic, "Senior Murong Ren, although it was my ancestor who killed you, please remember the same root and the same origin, and forgive me for the sin of going in and disturbing you!" ”

He thought in his heart, Yunli wanted to push the door open, but after pushing it three times, the stone door didn't move at all, and he smiled bitterly: "Senior, do you really want to let the younger generation go in to avoid it, do you want me to die in front of your grave to apologize for the ancestors?" ”

Murong Yanyun said helplessly, but his eyes were carefully examining the stone gate structure. He saw that this stone gate was unusually tall and thick, and he had no internal strength, so it was impossible to presume. If you don't push hard, if you don't have a mechanism here, you'll only have a dead end.

"The most important thing now is to find out if there is a mechanism on this door." He thought about it, and suddenly realized that there was something special about this door, and instead of the two knockers that were usually lined up, there were six knockers arranged regularly on both sides of the door, and there were twelve knockers in total.

He saw that the number of knockers was different, and he hurried to look at it carefully. Only then did I find that the twelve knockers were carved into the shape of the head of the beast, with twelve such as rats, oxes, tigers, etc., which were exactly the appearance of the zodiac, all of them were originally lifelike, but they had not been repaired for many years, and the lines were a little blurred at this time.

Murong Yanyun said secretly, "These twelve beast heads must be organs, but how to crack them...... "He has seen many kinds of mechanisms in ancient books, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of mechanism with the twelve beast heads knocker as a mechanism.

He knew that if the mechanism of the ancient tomb was properly cracked, it would be able to open the tomb. But if the method is not right, there is no need for Murong Yanzhao and them to make a move, and the mechanism of this tomb gate alone is enough to make him have no return.

The sound of "click" footsteps became louder and louder behind Murong Yanyun, and people were getting closer and closer to him, and Murong Yanyun's heart had already risen to his throat. He has encountered countless dangers in the past three years, but he still has the power to resist more or less. But now he doesn't listen to his internal strength, and the poison that is temporarily suppressed in his body may also take his life at any time, this is really at the critical juncture when his life hangs by a thread, but now he doesn't even have a friend by his side, and he can only rely on himself for life and death.

In the past three years, all the people and everything have rushed to Murong Yanyun's mind for a while. Parents, uncle, Cher, cousin, cousin...... The faces of these people kept shaking in front of him, and Murong Yanyun's thoughts were like a mess at this time. He tried to keep himself calm, but he couldn't.

Suddenly, the ancient painting that allowed Murong Yanyun to comprehend the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique appeared in his mind. The painting became clearer and clearer, and the characters in the painting seemed to come to life, constantly changing in his mind. He saw Murong Ren, dressed in blue and wearing a tiger-headed helmet, wielding a sword with his left hand, directing the battle. The tiger head on his head seemed to be exactly the same as the tiger head on the stone gate.

Murong Yanyun's heart moved, "Could it be that Murong Ren likes tigers?" If so, it is very likely that this tiger head knocker is where the mechanism is located. He couldn't believe it, but he still put his hand on the tiger head knocker.

He first pulled outward, the stone door did not change at all from just now, he pulled it inward again, and there was still no effect. He couldn't help sighing, thinking that he must have thought something wrong, and was about to give up, but his hand inadvertently twisted lightly on the beast's head. It was impossible for this knocker to be twisted, but Murong Yanyun really turned it.

As the knocker was turned, the stone door seemed to make a soft "click" sound, and Murong Yanyun believed that it was not that he had heard it wrong, but that there was really a mechanism that had been activated by himself. He saw that this stone gate was indeed inextricably linked with ancient paintings, and he was busy recalling the contents of the paintings.

"Murong Ren is holding a sword in his left hand, and the sword is a murder weapon, which must represent death. And the opposite of death is life, the left is death, then the right is life! This thought suddenly appeared in Murong Yanyun's mind, and he was about to spin to the right immediately.

But his hand stopped, "I must not turn the mechanism rashly, if the number of turns is wrong, then there is still death and no life!" ”

Murong Yanyun wanted to find some clues about numbers in the ancient paintings, but she didn't think of anything useful. He thought, "There are three parts to this painting, one part is on Murong Ren's side, the other part is the middle ground between the two, and the other part is Murong Hao. Now that Murong Ren has let me determine the head and direction of the tiger, and the wind and snow in the middle have made me comprehend the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique, only Murong Hao's side has found nothing, could it be that this number has fallen on him? It's just that Murong Hao, what does it have to do with numbers? ”

He suddenly remembered that Murong Hao was posthumously crowned emperor, and said secretly, "People say that the emperor faces the south and turns his back to the north, and he is the honor of ninety-five, could it be the two numbers nine and five!" ”

The footsteps behind him had already arrived, a few feet away from Murong Yanyun. Han Chongyun shouted, "Look, Murong Yanyun is there, let's catch him so that we can receive the reward!" As he spoke, he pulled out the single knife on his waist first, and he was about to pounce.

Murong Pingzhou stopped him and said, "Lord Han, do it slowly!" Murong Yanyun is a cunning kid, he hasn't entered the door for so long, there must be something strange in it! ”

Murong Yanzhao has always been very suspicious, but after listening to Murong Pingzhou's words at this time, he nodded, "What you said makes sense, Lord Han must not act rashly." ”

Murong Yanyun saw that these people did not rush up, and secretly thanked Murong Pingzhou. His hand turned very quickly, and he turned the tiger head knocker to the right nine times, then stopped for a moment, and then turned five times.

Murong Yanzhao saw Murong Yanyun turning the stone gate there quickly, obviously in a hurry to open the stone door, and couldn't help but sneer, "We fell for this kid, he didn't figure out how to crack the mechanism, so he never went in." If we don't do it now, when will we wait? He waved his hand and pounced on Murong Yanyun first.

When Murong Yanyun saw Murong Yanzhao pounce, his hand turned faster, and he finished turning the mechanism in the blink of an eye. As he finished turning, the stone door made a few "boom" sounds, and it really opened a small crack by itself. Murong Yanyun saw that a crack in the stone door was exposed, and dodged in.

As soon as he entered, he pushed all his strength against the door, trying to close the stone door. This stone gate mechanism is really exquisite, Murong Yanyun only felt that it didn't take much effort, and the stone gate was quickly closed. As soon as the stone gate closed, a boulder with a height of several feet fell from the door, completely sealing the door.

Outside the door, Murong Yanzhao's body was jumping towards the stone gate, and suddenly saw the stone gate closed, if he moved forward half an inch, he would inevitably crash into the extremely hard stone gate. He hurriedly stopped, but due to excessive force, his feet were unsteady when he landed, and he fell to the ground.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help Murong Yanzhao, Murong Yanzhao was extremely annoyed when he saw that he was making a fool of himself in public, and shouted, "Murong Yanyun, you shrunken turtle, you have the ability to get out of here for General Ben!" ”

Murong Pingzhou snickered in his heart, but said: "Lord Murong, in my opinion, I might as well send someone to guard the gate day and night, I don't believe that Murong Yanyun can stay in it for a lifetime." ”

Murong Yanzhao nodded, "Aren't there still dozens of subordinates near us, let them all guard the door for General Ben, as long as Murong Yanyun comes out, they will be killed immediately!" ”

Everyone responded, and dozens of people sealed the gate, just waiting for Murong Yanyun to come out.

Murong Yanyun inside lit a fire and looked at the surrounding situation by the light of the fire. He saw that where he was was a staircase paved with blue bricks, and there was nothing on either side.

So he went straight inside. After walking for a while, I passed through a road, which is the front hall of the ancient tomb.

As soon as Murong Yanyun arrived at the front hall, he was shocked by its momentum, although the front hall was not very large, but there was a statue of a general carved by fine white jade. The width of this image alone is more than six zhang, and the height is more than twenty zhang when looking up, giving people a feeling of standing up to the sky. The general's right hand was pinched at his waist, and his left hand held the sword at his waist, and he looked into the distance, full of heroism and majesty. And behind the statue is a stone wall, and there is no way out, as if this tomb is not for the burial of bones, but for the worship of this jade statue.

He walked over to the stone wall and looked up and down, nothing out of the ordinary. He knocked lightly on the stone wall again, and found that there seemed to be space behind it, but he didn't know how to get through.

Murong Yanyun thought hard for a long time, and looked at every corner of the front hall, but there was no clue. He looked at the jade statue, and after a while, he thought for a long time, "This jade statue must be Murong Ren's predecessor, and since I have entered his tomb, I should also bow to it." ”

So he walked to the jade statue of Murong Ren and bowed respectfully. After he finished the salute, he was about to straighten his waist, when he suddenly saw a few small words faintly under the corners of Murong Ren's clothes. Murong Yanyun hurriedly approached, and saw that these words were written very sloppily, and they were ancient Xianbei characters, which were extremely difficult to recognize. He looked at it for a long time before he could barely see that the words were written, "Liaodong is a hundred miles, all of which belong to me." Now that the juniors are here, do you dare to kneel? ”

Murong Yanyun laughed angrily after reading it, and thought to herself, "You are just a defeated soldier under my ancestor, why should I kneel to you?" But then he thought, "The so-called big husband can bend and stretch, this tomb is full of weirdness, why don't I kneel down first and see what can happen?" ”

Thinking of this, he knelt down on his legs in front of the statue, and said: "Murong Yanyun, the descendant of the younger Murong Hao, is now in trouble, if you know underground, please help me get through the difficulties." After speaking, he solemnly kowtowed three times.

After the three rings, the sound of "click" came from the opening of the mechanism. Murong Yanyun hurriedly got up to look, and saw that the stone wall slowly moved away, slowly revealing a path that could be walked on. There was a turbid atmosphere inside, making it difficult to see, and at the same time, a strange sound came out, as if someone was laughing out loud in satisfaction.

When Murong Yanyun heard the laughter, he was shocked in his heart, and secretly screamed strange. But he didn't retreat, but laughed as he laughed, and the whole empty mausoleum trembled at the sound of two laughs.

Suddenly, Murong Yanyun found that under the shock of his laughter, a puff of white smoke suddenly appeared from the path in front of him. Before Murong Yanyun could hold his breath, the white smoke came close to him, he only felt that this smoke had a faint aroma, he thought to himself, this smoke was mostly poisonous, so he was busy holding his breath.

Soon, the white smoke disappeared, and Murong Yanyun walked in. I found that the end of the path is the main hall, and there is an excellent Nanmu coffin parked in the hall, which looks very luxurious. On the surrounding walls are some murals with smooth lines, which seem to depict Murong Ren's great achievements in his life.

Murong Yanyun bowed again in front of the coffin and entered the side hall on the left. As soon as he entered the matching hall, he felt that the treasure light was dazzling. There are six or seven pearls of light and night in this matching hall, and there are countless boxes of jewels, as if all the treasures of the world have been collected by him into the tomb, and if these things are exchanged for gold, they are worth more than hundreds of thousands of taels. Murong Yanyun was born in a wealthy family, but he had never seen so many treasures, and his heart inevitably moved.

But he smiled in a flash: "If I can't detoxify and restore my internal strength, there will only be a dead end, what's the use of these weapons?" ”

He walked slowly out of the side hall and into the apse. He thought that the apse must also be some jewels, but what he didn't expect was that there was no treasure in this apse, and there were not even ordinary utensils, only two on the wall facing the main hall, one up and down, next to each other, but there were many white bones on the ground, and there was a tunnel next to the white bones.

The two squares don't look anything special at all, except for a line that serves as a dividing line, with an abstract sun pattern drawn on the top and a crescent moon below. Murong Yanyun looked at these two squares, feeling curious in his heart, and stood in front of him and looked at it for a long time, but he just felt a little strange.

Murong Yanyun looked at the white bones on the ground and thought, "These craftsmen worked hard to build a mausoleum for him, but they were suffocated here, it's really pitiful." ”

He suddenly realized that something was wrong. If these people were suffocated here, then he only opened a small crack in the stone door in an instant just now, and it was impossible to put too much air in, so it stands to reason that even if he was not suffocated in the tomb like these people now, he should at least feel that he had difficulty breathing. But his breathing now was no different from that outside, and it was extremely smooth, which proved that these people were not suffocated workers, but something else.

He also found that the distorted orientation of these white bones was somewhat strange, as if they had suffered great pain before they died. Moreover, these dead people on the ground all had weapons in their hands, but these weapons were either placed between their own necks or pierced into the bodies of others, and only a small number of people seemed to be digging tunnels with weapons and wanted to escape.

Murong Yanyun said secretly, "Most of these people seem to be killing each other to snatch something, and some people seem to have suffered a great deal of pain and self-discipline. But there is no jewel here, so I really don't know what they are robbing? ”

He also wanted to take a closer look at the apse, and if there was nothing special, he would see if he could leave the tunnel. At this moment, another pink smoke came out from the stone wall overhead, and Murong Yanyun held his breath in time, but some of the mist still got into Murong Yanyun's nose.

Murong Yanyun inhaled the mist and choked on a cough. His eyes were suddenly blurry, and his mind was spinning, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He only felt that he was going to faint, but he didn't faint, and he couldn't tell how uncomfortable he was.

He was so uncomfortable that he just wanted to yell at the sky. But the moment he looked up, he saw the two strange squares again, and the squares seemed to be spinning rapidly. Murong Yanyun's mind was even more confused as the squares turned, and dimly he seemed to see that these two squares had changed, from two to four, and from four to eight, eight squares that were constantly running.

Murong Yanyun was familiar with gossip, and when he saw this strange scene at this time, his heart moved, "Could this be the deduction process of 'two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to eight directions'?" It seems that this deduction is based on the opposition of yin and yang, and it should be Fuxi's innate gossip! ”

After he saw it a little clearly, in his eyes, it was no longer a simple eight constantly running squares, but the gossip of Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. Each of these trigrams is constantly running, evolving one hexagram after another.

Murong Yanyun looked at these hexagrams, and the original incomprehensible places in his heart began to understand, but then there were many new questions. Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly noticed that the stone wall, which originally did not have a single word, suddenly appeared a lot of Xianbei texts.

He looked at it word by word, for fear of missing a word, "Qiangua masculine, self-improvement." The six Yingdi are the old fertilizer garden. Just a lot of easy to break, lack of security. The kun hexagram is bright and soft, and it carries all things. The six pillars are weak, so they are smooth. Void and flexible, fractured phase...... Heaven and earth are one, and chaos is infinite. Wuji is even more for Taiji. If there is no Tai Chi, there is no distinction between yin and yang. If there is no yin and yang, how can the four elephants exist. The four elephants are unbounded, and the eight directions are safe. The eight directions are uncertain, and all things are lifeless. Tai Chi is nothing, and there is no life. Chaos is static, and movement is performed by static. If there is no worship, then there will be. It is still quiet, and it has its own movement. If you want to have it, you should first follow it. If you want to move, you must first be quiet. In this way, the avenue circulates. The cycle does not stop, and the world lasts forever. ”

He had already reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and now he read these commentaries from beginning to end, and he only felt that there were infinite mysteries in them. His originally sealed internal force, at this time, like a flood bursting the embankment, actually gushed from the dantian to the twelve meridians and four hundred and nine acupoints around the body, like a smooth flow of rivers and rivers, easily opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and faintly felt like breaking through the entrance of life and death.

At this moment, Murong Yanyun felt that the internal force around his body had not only completely recovered, but also was more refined and subtle than before. He laughed happily, and the tomb seemed to crumble in his laughter.
