Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Grave Keeper

The sun is half hanging in the western mountains, and the sunlight passes through the gloomy mass graves, and when it falls again, it looks very dim, not only does it not have a trace of temperature, but it is even a little cold.

There was a roar of wolves in the distance, and there were faint miserable howls, as if they were hunting, but I don't know if these wolves are hunters or prey at the moment.

In the distance, there was a sound of a stone collapse and the ground cracking, it was a strong man fighting. There was also the occasional roar of the army, and the sound resounded through the heavens and the earth...... Compared to other places, the mass graves are very quiet, and there is not even the sound of insects, and the silence is terrifying.

A gust of gloomy wind blew from the mass grave and swept directly around.

In front of the cabin, the lantern fluttered in the wind, and the candle flame inside was uncertain, as if it would be extinguished at any time, but no matter how strong the wind was, the candle flame was still trembling and lit, and it was not extinguished at all.

"It turned out to be a grave keeper with three gold-patterned lanterns. ”

Lin Wu stared at the lantern and was very surprised.

The tomb keeper indicates the status of the lantern according to the nobility of the lantern, and there are copper-patterned lanterns, silver-patterned lanterns, and gold-patterned lanterns from low to high. At the same time, there are three levels of the number of stripes on the lanterns, which are one, two, and three, representing the level of their strength.

As far as Lin Wu knew, the highest level of the tomb keeper walking in the world was nothing more than three gold-patterned lanterns.

And the strong man of the three gold-patterned lanterns, there are only ten people in this world, although the world does not know their names, but they have a great name in the industry, and they are respected as the "ten elders".

Even the leaders of those big tribes, if they know the names of the ten elders and then encounter them, they must dismount and greet them, and they must not be rude.

The ten elders are ten people who are "gold, wood, water, fire and earth, wind, thunder, stone and dragon king".

Among them, the five "Wind Thunder Stone Dragon King" are in the Central Plains Human Race, while the five "Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth" are in the Underworld Clan.

I don't know if the person in front of me is one of the "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth", or is it a fake person?

If someone else impersonated him, Lin Wu was worried.

"If he is really one of the 'ten elders'. ”

Lin Wu turned his head to look at the uneven "Demon Cave" mass grave in the tomb, recalling everything about this place in the previous life, thinking hard for a long time but having no clue, in the previous life, nothing happened here that shocked the world.

Even if something big happened that shocked the surrounding tribes, it was always calm.

Moreover, the ancient demon god monument where the generals of the ancient zombie king was sleeping was also more than two hundred miles away from here.

Or, something big happened here, but it was suppressed by the Yin and Yang Realm?

Lin Wu soon had a guess that such a terrifying force had such strength.

Even the generals in their heyday, such as the strongest Stele Forest tribe who entered the eight tribes, were like ancient zombie kings who entered the realm of no man, and after returning to the demon corpse tribe, even if they restored their supreme rule, they would not dare to provoke the Yin and Yang Realm. The horror of the yin and yang world can be seen.

If the Yin and Yang Realm wants to block the news here, it is normal for the world not to know, even if they become gods in their previous life, they will not know if they don't have the heart to inquire.

Besides, in the previous life, he had to flee after four months, successively through free trade, fled to the Great Qin Dynasty in the Central Plains of the Human Race, and then came to the intersection of the Three Plains to Xueman City, and finally returned to the Underworld and went to Mongolia...... Even if he came back again, it would be more than ten years later, and maybe something happened here, but it wasn't world-famous, so he didn't know.

But now it seems that it is not easy to let the powerhouses of the three gold-striped lantern level be willing to guard here!

"Where did the little guy come from, why did you come to me to mess around, go farther, go farther. What, set up camp? You're going to borrow it here tonight? Fool around, go back, go back, this mass grave is a place where you can come and play casually?"

At this moment, an old voice sounded, hooking Lin Wu's thoughts, and the main master appeared. Just listening to this voice, it seems to be driving them away.

Lin Wu looked over, this is an old man with gray hair, who is facing away from him at the moment, looking from behind, this person is quite tall, I am afraid that he has to be two meters, but he is described as withered, skinny like a humanoid skeleton, which looks ghostly and a little scary, and he has been leaking air when he speaks, and it seems that even his teeth have fallen out.

When Lin Wu saw the old man's eyes, he felt even more that this old man was not simple. His eyes were cloudy, as if he had presbyopia, and he seemed to be unable to see people clearly, and his whole person was faltering, which really made people worry that he would be blown down by the wind.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a dying old man. Besides, there has been a lot of walking corpses here in the Demon Cave recently, and the strength of the walking corpses is comparable to that of a condensation-level powerhouse, and the average underworld who lives here doesn't know how many times they will die.

However, Lin Wu didn't want to jump to conclusions too early, he still had to observe for a while. There is a realm called returning to the truth, but maybe this old man is not pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger as he thinks?

Thinking of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Lin Wuwan smiled, he will never forget, in the last life, he went to Guiyin Sea to participate in the battle, and after the victory, the strong man of Guiyin Sect came out and wanted to kill him.

And at that critical moment, it was the old beggar who had been following him to eat and drink, and had been bragging and making jokes, standing in front of him and killing many strong people.

At that moment, Lin Wu simply looked straight at his eyes.

Later, he learned that this old beggar turned out to be the city lord of the Xueman City generation, the tenth powerhouse in the world. Such a strong man with a bull fork roaring, but he was willing to be an old beggar unkempt all the time, and followed him for more than three months, which made him speechless for a while after knowing the truth, and he didn't know what to say.

From then on, he didn't dare to look down on anyone at will, and maybe one day another big guy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger would jump out.

"Grandpa, you're all right, let us stay by for the night! We'll leave tomorrow." It was the iron-clad Bodar who spoke, and he was still shamefully blinking and his eyes were cute, and the old man who was watching didn't know how to refuse.

But after hearing this, the old man still shook his head and refused, "No, you guys are still too dangerous here." It's not late now, and although it's dark, it's only because of the proximity to the mass graves, but it's actually afternoon outside. If you go another twenty miles to the southwest, you will reach Xishui Village. You can go there for the night. ”

"But our destination is northwest!"

"What?"

"Guess where we're going?"

"Uh, where are you going?"

"Broken Shield Tribe. ”

"I don't know. The old man shook his head.

"It's so far away, we have to walk 300 miles to get there. Let's rest by the side for the night, and we'll promise not to cause you any trouble. ”

"But it's very dangerous here, especially in the middle of the night, when the yin qi is at its peak, and the corpses come out of the cave, I'm afraid it will attack you. In addition, some poisonous insects and beasts will also come here to feed. ”

"We're not afraid. ”

"When the yin is strong, the temperature here drops below freezing, seven minutes colder than elsewhere. ”

"We can bake the fire. ”

The old man gradually loosened.

"Well, I can't talk about you. It's okay to be stationed, but boys, you have to agree to one of my conditions. ”

"What conditions?" Lin Wu walked over and asked.

"Are you their head?"

The old man looked at Lin Wu and saw the attitude of the others towards him, he regarded Lin Wu as the leader of this group of underworlds. It's just that he doesn't understand a little, how can there be a half-big authentic underworld in this large group of underworlds?

The latter, on the other hand, was looking at him with blinking eyes.

"He is our host. Vicious Fang explained.

"Master, I see, I can't see that you are still a nobleman. ”

"The old man is good, boy iron-shelled Lin Wu, I don't know what conditions the old man wants to propose?"

"Iron Shell Lin Wu?...... Who are you?"

"He's my grandfather. ”

"So you're the kid's grandson...... In fact, the condition is very simple, that is, you must swear with your life that you will not publicize the things here after you leave. ”

"What if it is preached?" asked the iron-clad Bodar.

"That will be gone. ”

The old man's voice was not loud, but everyone felt cold.

"Then we won't live. ”

Lin Wu groaned, making a gesture to leave, and the others followed.

"Forget it, it's okay to scare you, but there are more walking corpses in the demon cave, so you'd better pay attention to safety. Even if it's stationed around me, it's not safe. By the way, and ......"

The old man continued, "The grave keeper is a post for the living dead, and if someone passes by at night carrying corpses, don't make a fuss. ”

With that, the old man turned around and went into the cabin.

"And the tomb that will call me the old tomb and the tomb of the grave. ”

The sound came from the cabin, and after saying that, it disappeared without a trace, and the surroundings were silent for a moment.

There is no sound of insects chirping in the mass grave.

The crowd withdrew.

"Childe, what should I do?"

The Yuan Festival breaks the silence.

"Camp, camp, rest here tonight. ”

"But is there any danger?"

Everyone is worried.

Lin Wu shook his head, now he was sure that this old man must be one of the "Ten Elders".

The tomb is old, that is, "wood", although the two have different meanings in the Tuoba language, but in the dry language 10,000 years ago, the two are the same meaning, because the people of the Dead Empire all use wood as their tomb.

And the Yin and Yang Realm is the Emperor of Withering, the ancient god of apes, and the red-bearded Jinx was created. It was created to maintain the balance of yin and yang.

"The tomb keeper is known as the 'post station of the yin and yang world', and is a profession that walks between the dead and the living, and is responsible for maintaining the peace of mass graves around the world, preventing those yin spirits from disturbing the world, and also preventing unscrupulous people from disturbing the yin spirits. So we stayed around the wooden house for the time being, which was the safest. There is another reason, the mass grave in the demon cave has a radius of ten miles, and there are countless walking corpses, even if we go to Xishui Village, it is not as safe as here, you can have a good rest tonight, and you don't even need to keep vigil. ”

Hearing Lin Wu say this, everyone was a little relieved, but even more surprised.

The Underworld is in danger, and even if they live in a tribe, they have to be careful. But why is there no need for a vigil here?

It's just an old man he doesn't know, and his master is so reassuring of him? How strong is he? Besides, what if this old man is a heinous and wicked man?

Regarding everyone's doubts, Lin Wu just smiled and didn't explain.

He looked at the ghostly mass grave, and said with a smile in his heart: "The Yin and Yang Realm does not interfere in mundane affairs, if the tomb keeper dares to kill ordinary people in the mundane world, even if he escapes to the overseas Tiandao, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Yin and Yang Realm." ”

Yin and Yang Realm, Tiance Mansion, Guiyin Sea, such forces, even if you are a god, you have to coil up when you get there, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to do ghosts.

Not far away, the wind is hunting, and the sand and rocks are flying around.

"It seems that tonight is not destined to be peaceful. ”
