I closed my eyes and didn't dare to think about what happened next, when I suddenly felt the ancient tomb vines wrapped around my legs suddenly loosen.

Then the back seemed to be slapped heavily by some tail, and the whole person flew up.

By the time I opened my eyes, I was on the verge of crashing into the skeleton on the cave wall.

Unfortunately, the big guy who shot me was too strong, and it was too late to turn over in the air, so I slammed straight into the pile of skulls, still facing forward.

Suddenly, I felt a pain on my face, and the bridge of my nose seemed to be broken.

I also knocked a hole in this wall, and when I hit the ground, I just gnawed on the nose bone of a skull in my mouth, and there was a bitter taste.

I snorted and quickly stood up, my back aching, my nose bleeding, and my forehead broken.

"Brother Jiu, are you okay?" Niu Meng shouted behind me.

I turned around and saw him swimming in the river.

Tang Jinghong jumped directly from the other bank, and Yao mocked her too, but in the process of jumping, she easily picked up Niu Meng in the river, like carrying a chicken, and brought Niu Meng over.

"What was that just now?" I asked.

"Big python, it's so thick." Niu Meng gestured with both hands.

"Ran away?"

"I'm injured, Lord Yao went down with one paw, good guy, black blood splashed out." Niu Meng also seemed to have become accustomed to Yao mocking the fact that they were monsters, and became less nervous in front of them.

"Are you alright?" Tang Jinghong looked at me with a trace of worry in his eyes.

I wiped the blood from my face and shook my head, "Minor injury, nothing serious. ”

In fact, I usually have injuries, and the speed of healing itself is faster than ordinary people. But it was definitely not to the point where it would heal completely within a day, so the last time I was injured, Tang Jinghong gave me her blood, and I was still surprised that my wound was intact.

Tang Jinghong nodded, didn't ask anything more, turned around and picked up a few torches outside, and distributed them to us, "Light the torches, I can't see it." ”

That's when I realized that my night vision was no longer in this cavern.

What I didn't expect was that Yao Yimei and Tang Jinghong couldn't see anything here.

It is a cave made of skulls, except that the ground is rocky, and the upper part and sides are full of skulls.

The cave is about as high as a person, and the width can accommodate four or five people at the same time.

The skull wall I broke through was at least a foot thick.

If it weren't for the mistake and breaking through the hole wall, no one would have thought that there was a hole behind it.

The yin qi in the cave is very thick, and the front is dark and faint, revealing a chilling atmosphere.

Yao Xiaomei suddenly transformed into a little black cat, her purple pupils emitted a faint light, and she deftly jumped onto my left shoulder and squatted on it.

Tang Jinghong took out the ball of light again and put it on the torch.

I'm very curious, why Tang Jinghong doesn't transform into a human form, Yao Xiaomei doesn't care, he can change if he wants, but I don't dare to ask.

I took a few more sips of wine, thinking about making it stronger and seeing if I could restore my night vision, but at this moment, the cave was illuminated by Tang Jinghong's ball of light, and I couldn't feel any changes.

"Mengzi, you have a torch, don't light it yet, keep it for later." I told Niu Meng.

Niu Meng nodded, went back and picked up two torches, and stuffed them into the baggage behind his back.

This kind of torch is wrapped with a thick linen cloth and poured with fire oil, and under normal circumstances, it can continue to burn for a stick of incense.

It's always good to have a few more, after all, fire is very necessary in ancient tombs.

The cave is straight, not facing downwards, and the ground is smooth as if it had been polished.

The skulls on the cave walls are large and small, densely stacked together, making people shudder.

I walked in the front, Tang Jinghong was behind me, next to me, and Niu Meng was at the back.

I think Tang Jinghong should be a little scared......

Afraid of this kind of thing, I can't say for sure, it's not that you are very strong, you won't be afraid, fear comes from the unknown, not to mention that she is still a girl's family.

I'm also quite scared at this moment, because the farther I go in, the more intense the yin qi becomes.

Fortunately, there was plenty of air in it, and I didn't feel like I had trouble breathing.

After walking some distance, there was a sudden sound of rustling in front of me, as if a large group of insects were crawling back and forth.

I stopped and whispered, "Shh...... There's something ahead. ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of insects crawled in front of me.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a group of large centipedes, which looked similar to the centipedes I usually saw. It's red all over and about half an arm's size.

Tang Jinghong suddenly grabbed my shoulders tightly, and his body was almost completely attached to me.

Could it be ...... Foxes afraid of centipedes?

Yao jumped off my shoulder and stood in front of the centipedes, hissing and screaming.

I couldn't see her in front of her, but the sound was usually a warning from a cat when it was threatened.

Facts have proved that this group of centipedes was not frightened by Yao's mockery, and still continued to crawl forward.

According to my imagination, she should have spewed out a big mouthful of flames or something at this time, killing all these centipedes?

Youkai, you have to know some amazing spells to look like a youkai.

It's a pity that Yao Xiaomei jumped back on my shoulder directly, "I'll leave it to you." ”

I frowned slightly, you are the eldest sister of the nine-life cat demon, just threw the burden to me?

"Mengzi, sprinkle some realgar and try it." I'm not afraid of poisonous insects and the like, and I used to catch the five poisons to make medicinal herbs.

Niu Meng lit the torch and walked to the front, "Brother Jiu, have you seen the biggest one?" ”

I took a look and saw that one of the centipedes was larger than the others, but black.

"See."

"I think that if the thief captures the king first, and subdue this one, the rest of the estimates will run away." After Niu Meng finished speaking, he took the pig-killing knife pinned to his waist in his hand.

This knife was used when he killed pigs, and although he stopped killing pigs, he always used it with him.

I saw Niu Meng holding a torch in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and the cat walked towards the group of centipedes.

Niu Meng lowered the torch, and within a few days of getting close to the torch, the centipedes spread out to both sides, and many poisonous insects were afraid of fire.

A few centipedes crawled down Niu Meng's feet.

He was not afraid, climbed up by the centipede, and continued to walk slowly forward.

After a while, Niu Meng's body was already crawling with centipedes.

I have to say that Niu Meng's courage is really big, and ordinary people would have shouted in this situation.

However, Niu Meng is also right to do this, centipedes will not actively bite people under normal circumstances, unless they feel threatened.

For example, if you suddenly pluck its body, or guess its tail, something like that.

Normally, centipedes will find holes to burrow into, such as ears and nostrils.

But how could these centipedes be so big that they could get into Niu Meng's body and crawl back and forth on him.

Niu Meng walked up to the black centipede unhurriedly, and forced the other centipedes away with a torch, and the black centipede also survived, crawling to Niu Meng's left foot, as if looking for something.

I saw that Niu Meng's hand was up and down, and he slashed three times in a row, and the black centipede was instantly cut into several pieces, and the severed limb shook twice, and then stopped moving.

Black blood gurgled from the severed limb.

At this time, as if frightened, the other centipedes quickly crawled to the walls on either side, burrowed into the skull, and disappeared.

The centipede that was crawling on Niu Meng's body also quickly retreated, scattered in all directions, and disappeared into the darkness.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Jinghong's hand holding my shoulder also let go.

Niu Meng kicked the black centipede's body aside, "I'll just say, this thing is like an ant, it pressed the biggest one, and the others don't know what to do." ”

"It's better to be careful, animals that can survive in this kind of place are by no means ordinary, the yin qi is getting heavier and heavier, I think this cave should lead to the main burial chamber." After I finished speaking, I took Tang Jinghong's torch and walked in the front.

Tang Jinghong didn't say anything, although she still kept a straight face, but she almost leaned on me to move forward.

Niu Meng's judgment is very reasonable, not only in the animal kingdom, but also in our human marching and fighting. Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the leader is killed, the rest of the people will be scattered, and most of them will scatter and flee.

The short twists and turns did not affect Niu Meng's interest, but made him more active, and even hummed a little tune.

No one cares about him, and in this tense situation, making a little noise can relieve everyone's tension.

After walking forward for a while, although I heard a strange noise, I didn't see anything running out.

I guess this may have something to do with Yao Xiaomei, there must be a demonic aura on her, I can't feel it, and it's hard to say about the other poisonous insects.

After almost a stick of incense, it finally came to an end.

A bronze door stood in front of us.

The bronze door looks very old and covered in cobwebs. I brushed aside the cobwebs with a torch and saw a charm carved into the bronze door.

I am particularly impressed by this charm, and it is the top demon suppression talisman in Taoism.

My grandfather said that the charm first originated from Wu Zhu, and Wu Zhu used to refer to people who knew divination and sacrifice, which was similar to the era when our Fang Shi originated.

Later Taoists inherited a lot of things from Fangshi and Wuzhu, and the Demon Hunting Dao absorbed things from other sects and became a specialized branch of Taoism.

But no matter how it develops, the inheritance of some things is immutable.

Some of the charms used by our monks are said to have been used since the time of the Yellow Emperor and have not changed until now.

Wu Zhu is too old, and my grandfather doesn't know much. But his old man knows a lot about the way of monster hunting.

When I was learning the skill of catching demons, my grandfather told me that I didn't need to memorize the other demon suppression talismans, just memorize the three talismans.

These three spells need to be guided by human blood, seize the creation of the terrain, and only take effect when the time comes, which is the supreme secret secret method of the Demon Hunting Dao.

And the demon talisman engraved on the bronze door is one of them, the Five Elements Zhentian Talisman.

In addition to the Five Elements Zhentian Fu on the door, there is also a large section of Zhong Dingwen engraved.

Zhong Dingwen is a script of the Shang Dynasty, also called inscriptions, mostly pictographs. However, if you want to know Zhong Dingwen, it is basically impossible. My grandfather once found some writing engraved on oracle bones, and he studied it for most of his life without figuring out what was written on it.

I can only judge what is written in this course based on my current knowledge.

Unfortunately, I only recognize a dozen words, and I don't know if it's right or not.

"What's written on it?" Yao asked me.

"It probably means that this is the tomb of a prince and viscount, I don't know what it's called. However, this tomb is from the Zhou Dynasty, and bronzes were widely used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the viscount was also the second-class title of the princes divided by Zhou Tianzi in that year. There are a total of five ranks, and the prince is a man.

If that's the case, I've got a clue. There is a saying about the origin of the surname Zhuge that originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he named the descendants of Ge Bo as viscounts and gave him the title of Ge Guo.

Later, when the country of Ge was destroyed, the people surnamed Ge migrated to Yangdu, and there were already people with the surname Ge in Yangdu, so the surname Ge who moved over later became Zhuge clan.

In this case, you will be able to match. ”

"What about this spell?"

"Five Elements Town Heavenly Fu."

Yao raised her eyebrows, "Five Elements Town Heavenly Fu? ”

I nodded, "You know? ”

"I've heard it, I haven't seen it, it's said to be the most powerful demon talisman, and there is no demon energy in this tomb, what do you do with the demon talisman?"

"This ...... It is said that the Five Elements Town Tianfu can control everything, not just monsters. However, I still haven't figured it out, what does the tomb of the Zhuge family have to do with the nine-tailed demon fox?

The function of the gossip tomb above is not to doubt the grave, but to suppress evil spirits. Could it be that the ancestor of the Zhuge family is also a nine-tailed demon fox? ”
