Chapter 10: The Great War in the Tomb

The third came behind the old man, the old man opened the zongzi a few times and grabbed it, and suddenly bullied forward, and before I could see how to shoot, it had already fallen in front of the third child.

At this time, the old three-eyed hand was fast, and just when the zongzi was about to bounce up, the material knife slashed down, and a knife happened to slash at the elbow joint.

Zongzi's arm immediately flew out and fell to the side. But Zongzi still stood up and pounced on the third child.

The old man walked around to me from the side, glanced at me who was still sitting on the ground and said, "Xiaofeng, are you okay?" I quickly said, "No, I was just scared." Then he realized that his body had almost recovered, so he slowly stood up against the stone wall.

"Well, it's okay. It's up to me to clean them up. As he spoke, he turned to look at the two zongzi.

The old man's words gave me a lot of confidence, and I originally planned to stand up and run out, but now I want to see how powerful the old man is, after all, I didn't see it at all last night.

I saw him put his hands on his chest, and while reading in his mouth, his hands were intertwined to make various shapes.

"Heaven and earth are good, and yin and yang coexist. Each for its own boundary, and not for others. The heterogeneous number of spirits is separated from the body and scatters the soul, and the Sanqing Avenue educates all souls. Extinguish! Finally, each hand points to a rice dumpling.

In an instant, the two zongzi collapsed to the ground. Brother Zhang and the third child turned around to look at the old man, and the old man nodded, just about to say something...

Suddenly, the third child flew up like a sandbag and landed on the way in behind me, and I don't know if he fainted or already....

Brother Zhang also reacted quickly, and the moment the third child flew out, he quickly returned to the old man's side, looking around vigilantly.

"You go and protect Xiaofeng." The old man said this, then quickly took two steps forward, and said quickly: "At the beginning of chaos, yin and yang coexist. The living are yang, and the dead are yin. The ghosts and gods of the eight directions are in their true form, and the Sanqing Avenue is to resist evil and return to the right. from"

"Damn Han Chinese... I actually killed the deity's personal guards, and I don't want to draw your soul today. "Suddenly, I heard a strange accent that was extremely harsh, and then I saw a black gas condensing in the center of the grotto, and in a few moments it had already turned into a human form.

At this time, Brother Zhang had already come to me, but looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to hear or see the current situation, just when I was wondering, the old man spoke.

"Hmph, presumably it was you, the demon, who set up this battle soul array, trying to harm living beings, gathering the qi of yin and resentment to cultivate, and today you will get rid of evil in the world." The old man changed his kind tone, as if he was a different person.

"Hahahaha, it's up to you? A bad old man? Let you taste the taste of yin fire. As the strange figure spoke, a blue flame appeared beside him, and as he finished speaking, it shot at the old man at a rapid pace.

The old man was not idle, but listened to him read quickly: "Ziwei Immortal Gate, pass on the Dharma and protect yourself." Punish evil and subdue demons, and petition to sΓ©ance. The disciples of the Nine Heavens Wind Department knocked, and the Sanqing Avenue was as urgent as a law. Disease! At this moment, the blue fireball that was about to hit the old man disappeared out of thin air with a wave of his hand after the old man finished reading.

"Ahh You're a Taoist priest? Hahahaha... I really didn't expect that the deity would have the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands. The strange figure's voice became more and more distorted, and blue fireballs began to appear around it again, shooting at the old man one after another.

The old man waved his hands continuously, dispersing the gap between the fireballs, pushing his palms forward, and a strong wind blew towards the strange figure out of thin air, and the blue fireballs along the way disappeared like mud cows entering the sea.

Seeing this, the strange figure turned into a whirlwind of black mist and drifted to the right corner of the wall, avoiding the direction of the wind.

The old man didn't stand still, and when the strange figure moved, he saw the direction and rushed to it, and the two sides met right in the corner.

The old man is close to the body, and the sharp palm wind has a tendency to disperse the black fog. The strange figure just dodged left and right, as if it didn't fight back.

"Bullnose, your spell won't last long? But the yin energy of the deity is as much as there here, hahahaha... The old man didn't say anything, and suddenly quickened his pace and ran around the strange figure.

I saw a whirlwind slowly forming, and it was getting bigger and faster. The strange figure's laughter stopped abruptly, and he said sharply, "You want to fight hard? It's not that easy. The strange figure also spun in place, and it spun faster and faster with the whirlwind, and the figure formed by the black mist was pulled into a cylindrical shape.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the black mist slowly drifted out of the top of the whirlwind, gathering into a large dark cloud on it.

Although I didn't know what was going on, I felt that it was not good for the old man to go on like this, so I shouted, "Old man, watch the top of your head." As soon as the words fell, the black mist at the top suddenly came down from above, and suddenly the whirlwind was engulfed from the outside.

Brother Zhang beside him looked nervous, and his right foot moved slightly. At this moment, there was a bang

The word "broken" came out of the mist, and then the black whirlwind that had been spinning burst open, and then I saw the old man tumbling out of it.

The bursting black mist gathered into a strange figure in an instant. As soon as the old man's figure stood firm, the strange figure on the opposite side also condensed, and it was also at this time that the two sides moved at the same time.

"Break the spell and let the slaves of the deity tear your body apart." The black mist rolled, and a strange spell sounded.

As soon as the old man stabilized his body, his hands quickly intertwined in front of his chest, and he said in his mouth: "Ziwei Immortal Gate, pass on the Dharma and protect yourself." Resist evil outside, do not destroy the golden body. Sanqing Avenue is as urgent as a law. Change! The two sides completed almost at the same time, and I saw dozens of figures in the black fog rolling straight towards the old man one after another.

The old man moved his steps, his hands intertwined, and continued to read: "At the beginning of chaos, yin and yang coexist. The living are yang, and the dead are yin. The ghosts and gods of the eight directions listened to my decree, and the Sanqing Avenue resisted evil and returned to the right. Harvest! "I saw something light up on the old man's chest, and the gray figure that rushed to him disappeared into thin lines.

"The deity depends on how many Yin Souls you receive." The spell of the strange figure became faster and faster, and the black mist surrounding it also rapidly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming gray ghosts rushing towards the old man.

The old man kept that gesture after finishing the reading, and the person ran back and forth in the passage. I could see that he was trying to protect Brother Zhang and me, and Brother Zhang next to him clenched his fists, his knuckles snapped, and his eyes widened, looking ahead.

"Even if the old man dies, he will destroy you." The old man's voice looked old and weak. As soon as he finished speaking, he staggered and fell to his knees.

And it was at this moment that the black mist suddenly burst open, and a withered figure shot out, it stretched out its black hand as thin as a bone, and slapped it towards the old heavenly spirit, and at the same time made an extremely distorted voice and shouted through the human heart: "Go to death!" As soon as this voice appeared, I subconsciously shoved my two index fingers into my ear piercing, but I didn't feel the slightest abation, and my brain suddenly hurt like a pinprick.

At this moment, a cool sensation emanated from the chest, and in an instant the brain returned to normal. I could faintly hear the grotesque dry corpse snort

"Huh?". It was at this moment that the old man's voice sounded again.

"Broken!" A deep roar like thunder on a dry day. The old man's palm came out at the same time as the voice, and he saw that although the palm was still half a foot away from the abdomen of the strange dried corpse, a blue lightning bolt shot out from the palm of his hand.

And at this moment, the black hand of the dry corpse was only an inch away from the old man's heavenly spirit. In an instant, the dried corpse burst open, and bone chips and clothing scraps flew everywhere.

The shrill voice finally shouted, "Damn the way.... After a fierce fight, the old man sat down on the ground, and after a long time sat up cross-legged, his eyes closed.

The gray ghosts around them also disappeared after the strange dry corpses burst. At this time, I noticed that Brother Zhang next to me had passed out to the ground at some point, and now I am the only one who can move.

But I didn't move, and what I had just experienced made me unable to recover for a long time, as if it had been a long, long time since we entered the cave.....

Time passed little by little, and no other sound could be heard in the silent cavern. I sat on the ground with my back to the stone wall and looked up at the lamp in the third lane, which was already a lot darker.

Moved his stiff and numb body and tried to stand up again, and then slowly came to Brother Zhang's side.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang..." I shoved him. Brother Zhang slowly opened his eyes, then sat up and looked around, and said after seeing the old man meditating not far away.

"Are you okay with old age?"

"I... I don't know, but the old man has already killed that monster. Brother Zhang stood up, did not go to the old man, but walked out, and said, "I'll call someone." I looked at his back, then turned to look at the old man, and then walked towards the old man.

When I came to him, I just stretched out my hand..., but I felt that something was wrong, so I stood beside him and looked at him.

The old man, who was originally full of energy, felt a lot older at this time, his eyes were slightly closed, and his hands were intertwined between his legs.

There were a lot of rags and bones on the ground around him, and a lot of dust fell from his hair. After watching it for a while, I still think it's good not to bother the old man first.

Then he turned and walked towards the two corpses of zongzi, the corpses in front of him were even uglier than those seen in the distance, wearing burlap clothes and trousers, and the straw sandals on their feet had merged with the flesh and skin.

If it weren't for the folds of skin that clung to the bone, I would have thought it was just a skeleton of bones.

Looking at his head, he saw two black holes in his eye sockets, a triangular nasal cavity, and a few yellow teeth left.

The hairs on my body began to stand on end, and a wave of fear began to rise in my heart again.

"Xiaofeng, come here." The old man said behind me. I was taken aback by the sudden scream, and I reacted and replied

"Oh", and walked towards the old man. The old man still sat where he was, but he had opened his eyes. I came up to him and asked, "Is it okay for you, old man?" I saw him stretch out his arm, and I quickly helped him to his feet.

Then he said, "It's okay, but it's just too much energy, let's go out first." "When I passed the third child, I was going to see his situation, and the old man said on the side: "No need, it doesn't matter if you look at the situation, you don't know medical skills, so let's wait for the old dog to come."

Just as the two of us continued to walk out, Brother Zhang, Lao Hu, Lao Wang, and Lao Gou came in. As soon as he saw me and the old man, the old dog asked, "Old man, are you okay?" The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, the third child is lying inside, you can go and take a look." ”

"Okay, I'll go check it out." The old dog replied. After not walking a few steps, the old man said, "Don't go to the grave today, come back tomorrow." ”

"Okay old man." Lao Hu replied.

"Lao Hu, come here to help...."Lao Wang shouted. After a while, I walked out of the cave with the old man and Brother Zhang.

By this time, the sun had set, and looking at the sunset on the horizon, I felt like I was back on earth.

Before it was completely dark, everyone returned to the camp. The third child also woke up, and heard the old dog say that he just broke a little skin, and there was no big problem.

When it was time for dinner, I saw the third child, who was already wrapped in gauze on his head, two arms, and left leg, but he still smiled and talked as usual.

The old man did not come out for dinner, and as soon as he arrived at the camp, he returned to his tent, and Lao Hu prepared one before the meal and sent it in.

Since coming back, no one has talked about what happened during the day. I finished my dinner and went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up at dawn, and although I went to bed early last night, I couldn't sleep at all, the shriveled zombies and the strange black fog lingered in my mind for a long time, and I woke up from a nightmare in the early hours of the morning, soaked my clothes in cold sweat, and forced myself to think of something pleasant several times before I could barely sleep.

I turned my head to look in the direction where Brother Zhang was sleeping, but I didn't see anyone else. After getting up and getting dressed, I got out of the tent and took a towel to the bucket to wash my face.

Before he finished washing, he saw Brother Zhang coming back from the forest, still holding two buckets in his hands.

"Brother Zhang, are you going to fetch water?" I accosted. Brother Zhang was just faint

With an "um" sound, he poured the water and walked towards the forest with the empty bucket. I put my towel and walked out of the tent, intending to go to the cave to check on the situation, but I saw the old man who had just returned.

"Little wind, get up." The old man saw me and said.

"Well, it's early," I greeted. He nodded and said, "You don't have to go to the grave today, you can walk around with me!" ”

"Okay old man." I replied. We walked along the path through the woods, and in a short time we reached the tombstone altar.

The situation of breaking the formation the night before yesterday is still vivid, and after yesterday's incident, it feels like a world away.

"Xiaofeng, do you have any doubts in your heart?" The old man said with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains in the distance.

I stood behind him and replied, "Well, there's a lot I don't understand. ”

"Then you ask." The old man said.

"Didn't the old man break the Soul Formation, why did we still encounter those after we went in?"

"It was my miscalculation." He didn't look back, still looking into the distance. Then he continued: "The Soul Formation can enslave the Yin Soul and protect the formation. I thought that this toast was just used as a means to protect the tomb robbery, but who knew that it had another effect. ”

"What does it do?" I asked.

"The whole thing should be like this. When Tusi was buried, a person came to Tusi's house to show his ability, and then recommended himself to build a formation to protect the tomb of the previous generation of Tusi. The old man turned around, looked at me, and walked toward a large, flat rock.

"No matter how he got the consent of the Tusi family, in the end, his soul formation has been arranged." The old man said as he walked.

"The position of Tusi was established in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan people were not Han people, and they thought of this method of governing razor during their reign. The Ming Dynasty then used this method to administer ethnic minorities. We went to the stone and sat down.

"Those who did not support the dynasty were exterminated and suppressed, and the rest bowed to the court, and some of them took the position of toast. Because of the language and culture barrier, the imperial court let the Tusi be autonomous, and with the support of the imperial court, these Tusi lived as comfortably as the emperor, which can be said to be more than 10,000 people under one person. The old man paused and continued.

"For the funeral of Tusi, there must be someone who accompanies the funeral. That person took a fancy to this, and tried to gather yin and evil cultivators through the Soul Array. ”

"What do you mean by evil cultivators?" I asked.

"Evil cultivators are those who practice evil arts by absorbing the vitality and vitality of others."

"Oh! Is that the black mist figure we met in the cave? The old man looked at me, but shook his head and said, "It's not it." ”
