Coming out of the Zhengyang Gate of Jinling City, it took only half an hour to ride a horse to the craftsman village.

The village is not large, built on the mountainside, there are only a dozen families, and the houses are all made of stone, and even the roof is a round bluestone roof. It looks like a burial chamber.

From the point of view of architectural style, the people who live here are not normal, how can they build the dwellings of the living into tombs.

The only thing I know about these craftsmen is that they weren't chosen from the Soul Burial Cult or other funerary sects.

It was selected from the tomb robbers, and it may be involved in the transformation of the emperor's mausoleum, and when selecting this group of people, there is a rule of holding the defects.

That is to say, the chosen grave robber must be physically disabled, either missing arms and legs, or deaf, blind, or mute...... In short, it can't be a normal person.

Among the tomb robbers, those who have the characteristics of being disabled can be said to be the best in the tomb robbing world.

They are highly skilled in the art of tomb robbing, know how to enter various tombs, and know how to build tombs to prevent tomb robbers.

However, this kind of person is usually not interested in money and power, what kind of conditions did the imperial court have to make them agree to do things for the imperial court?

The horseshoe prints vanished when they reached the village.

I sniffed vigorously and smelled a scent similar to that on Yao's body.

"Lord Yao should be nearby, don't get off the horse, let's go into the village and have a look." I frowned and told Niu Meng and Chasing the Wind.

The two of them nodded, gently pinched the horse's belly with their legs, and the three of us walked slowly towards the village.

There is only one road into the village, two feet wide, which is also paved with bluestone.

On both sides of the road were tomb-like houses, each almost identical, nine on each side of the road, for a total of eighteen.

There is also a large house directly in front of the road, which is already very similar to the main burial chamber.

Dome, square bottom, bronze door, there is also a road charm carved on the door, there are two stone lions at the door, more than one person high.

The doors of all the houses in the village were closed, and the closer you got to the huge house, the more pronounced the scent of Yao Dianmei's body became.

Strangely, I couldn't smell anything else.

Don't the people here make fires for cooking, nor do they raise poultry? Not even a latrine?

"You two don't come down right away, I'll go down and have a look." I grabbed the reins and jumped off my horse.

I now feel more and more that the kidnapping of Yao and the gang were deliberately lured us over.

I'm going to go to the door of that big house to have a look, after all, the fragrance is coming from inside that house, although it is extremely subtle, but I can be sure that Yao Xiaomei is definitely inside.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me: "Ninth Prince, don't move, turn around slowly." ”

The voice was a little old.

I turned around slowly and saw three people standing behind me.

Two men were on horses, with scimitars in their hands, resting on the necks of Niu Meng and Chasing Wind, and it was obvious that they had both of them subdued.

There was another man standing in front of them, eyes like falcons, staring straight at me.

I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, when these three people came out, I didn't even notice at all.

And Chasing Wind and Niu Meng, the two of them didn't seem to react at all, and they were subdued.

"Who are you?" I asked the man in black with a frown.

The man in black didn't make any moves, "I've long heard that the Ninth Prince is extremely smart and different from ordinary people. Since we can't find Nanya, let's ask Jiugongzi to play with us. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, tie them both up." After the man in black finished speaking, the two men in black on the horse tied up Chasing Wind and Niu Meng.

It is a black chain, and if you look closely, the chain is engraved with strange symbols, which is not an ordinary chain.

It seems that they must know that Chasing Wind and Niu Meng are not ordinary people.

"Why don't you tie me up too?" I continued to ask him.

The man in black chuckled twice, "If we kidnap the Ninth Prince, won't there be no one to play with us?" I'm sure the Ninth Prince won't leave them alone, oh, by the way, and the nine-tailed cat demon. ”

"What did you do to her?" I asked hurriedly.

"Nine sons rest assured, as long as the nine sons have the ability, they can all be taken away today." After the man in black finished speaking, his right foot was raised slightly and he stomped on the ground vigorously.

Then there was a rumbling sound behind me, and I turned my head to see that the bronze door of the big house had actually risen.

I wondered if the man in black was signaling the door to open the door, or was it just the strength of this foot that made the bronze door rise?

If it is the latter, then the strength of this man in black should definitely not be underestimated.

"Ninth Prince, please." The man in black made a "please" gesture. Led me through the bronze door.

The entrance is a very ordinary stone room, with tables and benches. The man in black walked to the bookshelf, as if he had touched some mechanism, and the bookshelf slowly rose.

Behind it is a downward-extending staircase, made of bluestone, almost three people wide.

The man in black led me down again, and as soon as I reached the stairs, the bronze door of the door slammed shut again.

It's almost a stick of incense time, and it's time to go to the end.

After walking some distance further, the originally narrow passage suddenly opened up.

Enter a large stone chamber.

The stone chamber is round, but the top is square, and the overall structure looks strange.

There were steps all around, and there was a large circular open space in the middle, and there were quite a few people sitting scattered on the steps, and I glanced at it, and there were about thirty of them. All of them were dressed in black, and their faces were covered with black cloths.

Among these more than 30 people, there are indeed some who are missing arms and legs.

In the middle of the circular clearing there is a stone table and two stone chairs.

Yao was tied to the north wall, her hands pierced by nails, nailed to the wall, and her body was covered with black chains.

His mouth was also tied with a black cloth, and he couldn't speak. However, Yao Xiaomei had already fainted at this time.

There was a huge bronze coffin beneath her, and the bronze coffin was full of extremely sharp steel spikes, and it was covered with coal, and all the steel spikes were red from fire.

If Yao Xiaomei falls off the wall, she will fall directly into the bronze coffin, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

More importantly, the Taoist talisman engraved on this bronze coffin is a thousand soul burial!

The Thousand Souls Burial is a secret burial method of the Soul Burial Sect, which is usually used to bury those evil demons. The original spirit of the person who can be buried directly is gone, and the soul is scattered, and there is no possibility of survival.

I frowned and said to the man in black, "Let them go, I will promise you whatever you want me to do." ”

The man in black laughed twice, "The Ninth Prince is too naïve, we took great pains to tie her up, and let her go with just one word?" ”

"What do you want?"

"I said, as long as the ninth prince has the ability, you can take the three of them away. Hang both of them for me! ”

After the man in black finished speaking, a few more men in black came over and hung Chasing Wind and Niu Meng next to Yao Weimei, but they didn't nail the two of them to the wall. Instead, it hangs in the air.

If Niu Meng and Chaifeng fell directly, they would also fall into the bronze coffin.

At this time, the man in black asked someone to take it and hand it to him, the copper hammer was not big, and the man in black could directly grasp the entire hammer head with his palm open.

He grabbed the copper hammer, handed it to me, and said, "In order to make the Ninth Prince give up the possibility of forcibly saving them, I feel the need to show my strength. ”

After that, he gently pinched the copper hammer, and the entire hammer head was pinched and deformed.

Then the copper hammer was dropped, and with a "bang", the copper hammer smashed a hole in the ground.

"Darkiron Copper Hammer?" I was shocked.

The man in black nodded, "The ninth prince is really well-informed, sit." ”

The black iron copper hammer is extremely solid, and the main material of Nanya's black sword is made of dark iron. This man in black actually pinched and deformed the black iron copper hammer with his bare hands, and this kind of force is ten times or even dozens of times stronger than mine.

You know, it's hard for me to even pick up Nanya's sword.

Let's not talk about the man in black, the two people who just subdued Niu Meng and Chasing the Wind are by no means idle. Coupled with the fact that there are so many people here now, it is almost impossible to defeat them all and rescue Yao to mock them.

And what if in the middle of the fight, they just loosen the iron cables?

The only way now is to listen to the man in black for the time being and see what he is going to do.

If he wanted to kill us, I'm afraid he would have done it a long time ago. If we don't kill, it means that we are useful to him.

I had to sit down on the stone bench for the time being.

The man in black also sat down opposite me, "Nine Princes...... What to drink? ”

"No need, if you have something to say, just say it."

The man in black smiled again, "It seems that the ninth prince is still so impatient, when I am surprised, why can't the ninth prince recognize me?" ”

With that, he pulled off his black hood.

It was an old face, and it looked about the same age as my uncle. Eagle eyes, hooked nose, extremely thick eyebrows, thin face, and piercing eyes.

But I'm pretty sure I haven't met this person.

So I frowned slightly and asked him, "Should I know you?" ”

"It seems that Master, his old man still attacked you." The man in black sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"The Ninth Prince can remember the surname Wan Qi."

I shook my head, "I know the last name, but I'm sure I don't know anyone with the last name." ”

The man in black smiled again, "Ling Zhoutong, Wan Qifeng, Dongfang Zhong, Gu Liangjing." Doesn't the ninth prince have an impression of these four names? ”

I was shocked, "How do you know my uncle's name?" ”

My uncle's name is Ling Zhoutong, but his name is only known to me, my grandfather, and Nan Ya. Of course, this is what my uncle told me.

"Ninth Prince, I heard Nanda say that these four people are all Nanda's senior uncles." Chasing the wind suddenly shouted at me.

I'm even more confused, it's all my uncle? Why do I only know about Lingzhou Tong?
