Chapter 53: Eyeless Marquis Li Shimin (1)
The thing that Qiao Dasheng said was a corpse spirit hung upside down on the top of the cave at the far entrance at this time, but it never came forward.
"Qiao Dasheng, help me untie it!" I shouted at him.
Qiao Dasheng hesitated for a moment, then glanced at me lightly, and then looked at the corpse spirit on the top of the tomb at the entrance.
The corpse spirit seemed to be watching us, and he didn't move, his arms bent and propped up on the top of the tomb, and his legs were like those bent arms, and he didn't know what was growing on his hands and feet, and he hung firmly on them.
I'm so anxious, if Qiao Dasheng is hard today, if he doesn't untie this rope, I will definitely not be able to run!
At this moment, the corpse spirit suddenly disappeared!
I suddenly remembered that the black shadow I had seen in the Tibetan Mountain Gorge before, and the movements of this corpse spirit seemed to be exactly the same as the posture of the black shadow.
At that time, I thought it was Uncle Gu who appeared in the Tibetan Mountain Gorge, but now it seems that we have already picked up a life at that time.
Just as we were staring at the empty top of the tomb, suddenly the corpse spirit appeared at our feet!
Under the light of the fire in the tomb, I found that this corpse spirit was completely black, and it seemed that he had no facial features, he was lying on the ground, but his hind legs seemed to be accumulating strength, not good! He's going to attack!
The three of us were so close that I didn't even react when it suddenly flew towards us.
Qiao Dasheng also subconsciously held the stick, and a sweep hit me in the chest, and all of a sudden I was knocked far away and fell backwards heavily, falling under the oil platforms on both sides of the cemetery.
Qiao Dasheng's stick was skillful, but he could still feel the pain that came to his chest through the hemp rope.
Looking up ahead, the corpse spirit and Qiao Dasheng fought.
There are many shadows in the tomb, these two black shadows, as soon as they go up, I am dazzled by the stick flower wielded by Qiao Dasheng.
Qiao Dasheng may have suffered an internal injury, I see his movements, although sharp but incoherent, it seems that every time he reaches the key point, he is always short of strength.
And the corpse spirit looked lean, but in fact, Kong Wu was powerful, he could stick to the wall and fly the eaves and attack at the same time, and the direction of the attack was weird and boundless, Qiao Dasheng was a little overwhelmed for a while.
I lay on my back on the ground, my body was tied, so I didn't have a fulcrum to support myself and got up, just like that, watching Qiao Dasheng fight with the corpse spirit.
At this time, Qiao Dasheng pulled out the dagger behind his waist, threw his right hand back, and the dagger fell in front of me.
"Help!" Qiao Dasheng was forced to retreat by the corpse spirit.
I writhed on the ground a few times, then rubbed in front of the dagger, rolled over and grabbed it with my hands, and cut the rope hard.
Try to calm yourself down and not make mistakes, and soon the rope was cut by me, and at this time, Qiao Dasheng also retreated to my side.
He clutched himself under his ribs, gasping for air.
"What the hell is this corpse spirit?!" I pulled the rope away from my body and asked him suspiciously.
"It is changed by the hernia of a dead man, also called a hernia corpse, it is good to eat human flesh, and it must not touch the poisonous mist that erupts from his mouth!" Qiao Dasheng stared at the corpse spirit lying on the ground in front of him and explained to me.
Hearing Qiao Dasheng talk about the poisonous fog, I suddenly thought of the place where the city gate was wide open, the iron cable between the two cliffs, and the black clouds on the high invisible city wall, everything over there was shrouded in a black fog, could it be that those black smoke and black fog were the handiwork of this corpse spirit?
"How can there be corpses here! What are we going to do! "If I hold the knife in my backhand and prepare this corpse spirit to pounce, I will prepare to give him a knife.
"Because the corpse spirit not only absorbs the hernia and yin qi of the dead, but also the essence of the sun and the moon, it can live for thousands of eight hundred years without dying or stiffening, and the form is ever-changing, if the corpse spirit absorbs a certain amount of yin qi and hernia, if it also inhales a sufficient amount of yang qi at the same time, then he will slowly give birth to a physical body and become an immortal and incorruptible walking corpse!"
I saw that the corpse spirit tilted its head and didn't make a movement for a long time, and I frowned and became deeply interested in the immortal and unfrozen corpse spirit in Qiao Dasheng's mouth.
Qiao Dasheng was the same, staring at the corpse spirit and continued to explain: "If this corpse spirit absorbs yang energy and becomes a living body, then he blends into the crowd, the city and the village, then it will be a great disaster in the world, even if he kills his body, the hernia hidden in his body will once again form a corpse qi and be reborn as a corpse spirit." β
Strange to say, the corpse spirit didn't make any other movements, just raised his head slightly in our direction, although he didn't have facial features, but he seemed to be looking at us.
"Then there is no way to kill him?!"
"Corpse spirits are afraid of fire, and they will burn when they encounter fire! Because the hernia itself is afraid of open flames, this is his biggest weakness, and I don't know where this godless marquis is sacred, he can actually make the golden worm a road, the tiger Jiao as a pet, and raise the corpse to protect the tomb! β
"Pets?!" I was amazed in my heart, the ancient beast as big as the tiger Jiao was said to be a godless pet, which is a bit exaggerated!
Qiao Dasheng nodded, then stretched out his right hand and motioned for me to step back: "The place where we are standing now is the safest, because there are two open flames here, so this corpse spirit does not dare to come forward, this godless Hou is too vicious, he knows that the corpse has hernia, and the hernia is collected into a lot of essence, but he still stacks those craftsmen who built the tomb in this Heishui River, using the tiger Jiao as an introduction to strengthen the corpse essence." β
I glanced at him suspiciously, this is very different from the story that Uncle Gu said at the beginning, what Uncle Gu said before was that Tang Taizong Li Shimin rushed to work to build a tomb and repair the mountain, and then sealed the craftsmen in the mountain, obviously after the death of the Eyeless Hou, and when it came to Qiao Dasheng's mouth, it became the first to seal the mountain, and that seemed to mean that the Eyeless Eyes Hou did not do these means after he died, but had already begun to arrange them before he died.
Who is this to listen to?
Qiao Dasheng smiled bitterly, and then said to me: "Actually, when your Uncle Gu told me about the ghost dream of Tang Taizong, I already knew about it, your Uncle Gu really didn't know anything, and just made up a story, this story deceived you, for me, this heat is a little worse!" Actually, we've both been looking at each other along the way! β
"That old man has been tricking me, but I haven't told everything I know, although the old man is a little older, but after all, he is the descendant of the Faqiu faction, and his experience and kung fu are above me, if he knows that there are bigger secrets in Wanyin Mountain, I will be in danger."
I listened to Qiao Dasheng's words in a daze, and I couldn't get out of it safely at all, looking at the calm on the surface, in fact, from the first time they met and contacted, there was already a storm in secret, this is what Uncle Gu often said: When you go down to the ground, everything is not as simple as experience, and the people you meet are ghosts.
It's just that Uncle Gu is the number one person who is even more ghostly than a ghost.
"I know you have a lot of problems in your heart now, I can tell you everything I know now, we have come to this point, we are all grasshoppers tied to a thread, sometimes I think that what your uncle said is quite right."
Qiao Dasheng thought for a moment, then looked up at the top of the tomb.
"This tomb is actually the tomb of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but it has not been recognized by the outside world, in fact, there is a story about this tomb."
Qiao Dasheng's words were directly shocked, and he was blind for a while, and Tang Taizong for a while, which one is it! I always felt that Qiao Dasheng was fooling me, and looked at him suspiciously, his face shadowed in the firelight now looked like a puzzle piece by piece.
As if he had already guessed that I would be like this, he stepped back and hid behind the candlestick, revealing half of his face, which was yellow and white, and jumped with the light of the fire, gloomy and frightening, and he lowered his voice and told the storyββββ
When Tang Taizong visited the people privately, he did meet such a master, and this master was this godless marquis.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin made a private visit to investigate the people's situation, but encountered an assassin murder, because there were no personal guards around him because of this private visit, and the two entourages who followed him for a while were frightened, fortunately met the godless Hou, this person claimed to be a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and rescued Li Shimin, Li Shimin saw that this person was born different, so he summoned him into the palace.
This person claims to be a frequent man, living in the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves in Xichuan Mountain, secretly protecting the Tang Dynasty, camping in that dangerous place, and protecting this important land from foreign encroachment, but often bluntly said that he has a patriotic heart, but there is no sense of appreciation, Tang Taizong of course understands what this Chang Yan said after listening to it, that is, he wants to ask for a position in the palace, but in front of many ministers in the palace to ask for an official and a half position, how can it be so easy! A person who just came, although he looked strange, but what he didn't sound good was a pair of blind disabilities, Tang Taizong didn't say anything, just laughed at him, didn't refuse on the spot but didn't agree, but he still treated him as a distinguished guest.
So this matter is put aside for the time being, Tang Taizong ordered people to prepare hundreds of thousands of silver taels, and on the second day, let people follow Chang Yan to send them to the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves, as a reward for Chang Yan's kindness in saving his life, I thought that this million silver taels was enough to soothe Chang Yan's heart, but things were not so simple.
That night, he often lay on the bed, tossing and turning, this is not far away just to enter the palace to ask for an official and a half-position, so that the brothers who have followed him over the years have something to eat, and it is not in vain that so many years have spent so much effort, although this million silver taels is a lot, but his own ability, nowhere to put it, just thinking, suddenly he listened to the sound of someone running on it outside the eaves, this running skill is obviously a person who knows martial arts, and so late, appearing in the palace, must have bad intentions, and is worried that there is no chance to impress Li Shimin, This Chang Yan hurriedly got out of bed and put on his heels and went out.
Sure enough, he found a man in black on the eaves of the house, running in the direction of the emperor's bed, so he followed closely behind.
Soon met the man on the way, the man's skills were not simple, the two fought from the house to the ground, and fought for several rounds, completely ignoring the fact that the palace guards had surrounded them, and even the courtyard had been lit with lamps and candles.
In the end, it was this Chang Yan who was a step ahead, caught a flaw in the other party, and killed him on the spot, and Tang Taizong had been watching the news for a long time when he heard the news, and the Chang Yan in front of him, although he looked quite scary, but the kung fu in his hands was really real, so Tang Taizong left Chang Yan on the second day, because he was brave and good at fighting, and he was upright, so he was named the Tianmu General, because Li Shimin believed that although this person was flawed, maybe his eyesless appearance was given by God, maybe the deep black eye socket was the eye of the day.
Li Shimin not only made Chang Yan a general, but also asked him to call all the 800 brothers in the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves into the palace and take up their posts one by one.
But what Li Shimin didn't know was that his actions planted the seeds of disaster for the later Tang Dynasty.
