After walking for about half an hour, Liu Shangang stopped, pointed straight ahead and said to me, "There is something." ”

Actually, I didn't need to say that I could see it, and near the end of the searchlight, there was a dark shadow.

I nodded, drew my bluesteel sword, and cautiously approached the shadow, which shrank motionless in the corner of the tunnel, and gradually I saw that it was a man sitting on the ground.

When I got a little closer, I realized that it was a corpse sitting under a stone wall.

The corpse seen in the tomb may be an evil corpse, but the skeleton is not a threat, and after losing its muscles and nervous system, a skeleton cannot be turned into an evil object.

I breathed a sigh of relief and walked over quickly.

The corpse was some years old, its clothes were completely corroded, and there were plenty of pits in its bones.

I held the lantern up to the skeleton and looked closely, and found a small, metallic box between its two ribs.

Liu Shangang reached out to grab the box, and I patted him and motioned him to back off, before crouching down and carefully pulling the box out of the bones.

The box is supposed to be made of gold and silver, and it has not been corroded after being aged in the tunnel for so many years, and the front of the box is embossed with an angry eye, and the bottom of the box is engraved with a low-eyed Bodhisattva.

Just as I was about to open the box, Liang Houzai also came over, and he reminded me, "This may be the remains of a mad monk." ”

Hearing him say this, I put back the lid on the box that was about to be lifted.

According to Zhu Xuanzhu, when the mad monk dug up the eye of the wind, he did give him a box, and also told him not to open the lid of the box, once the lid was opened, the contents would be useless.

Liu Shangang patted me on the shoulder: "What do you see is that?" ”

I looked into the place illuminated by the searchlight and saw a pile of beads the size of walnuts scattered on the ground.

Liang Houzai picked one up and looked at it, and said to me: "This is a Buddha bead made of golden silk nan, which has rotted out of shape." ”

As he spoke, he pinched it with his hand and scattered the beads in his hand on the spot.

I looked at the skeleton in front of me and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This is really the corpse of a mad monk, didn't he leave back then, but went to the grave alone? But how did he get in? At that time, there was no diving equipment like now, and the spiral channel was so long that it was impossible to swim through it just by holding your breath.

What's more, there is no sign that the birth door in the nine-eared tomb has ever been opened.

Liang Houzai, who was beside me, couldn't help but wonder, "How did he get in?" Could it be that there are other entrances to this tomb? ”

Liang Houzai and I looked at Senior Brother Geng at the same time, and Senior Brother Geng felt our gaze, frowned and said, "When the First Ancestor was building the tomb, considering the stability of the Feng Shui Bureau, it was impossible to open another entrance. Unless...... When the tomb was built, did an outsider do anything? ”

When he said the last sentence, Senior Brother Geng's tone seemed a little uncertain.

Liu Shangang said on the side: "The crazy monk can't dig a hole by himself and come in, right?" ”

Senior Brother Geng immediately shook his head: "Impossible, this tomb is too deep into the ground, and the tomb is covered with *** and rock formations, so it can't be dug in at all." ”

Liang Houzai nodded and said, "I remember that when Zhu Xuanzhu was talking about the old story of the Iron Dragon King, he just said at first that he dug up the iron stone in the river and did not see the Iron Dragon King. The saying that the Iron Dragon King is buried under the ground is also from the mouth of a mad monk, and I always feel that the monk has been down to the tomb early in the morning and has seen the things in the tomb. ”

Liu Shangang: "Didn't Huangshan give him a dream after he died, maybe he told him in a dream that there was an Iron Dragon King underground." ”

Liang Houzai pursed his lips and said, "If Huangshan and the mad monk didn't have anything to do with it earlier, it is unlikely that he would have given his dream to the monk. According to the monk, the soul of Huangshan was imprisoned by the Iron Dragon King, and it was impossible to make a special trip to him to give him a dream. ”

I feel that Liang Houzai's statement is a bit too absolute, and I didn't make any comments.

At this time, Liang Houzai squatted in front of the remains again, he turned on the flashlight, looked at the skeleton carefully, when the beam fell on the chest of the skeleton, I saw that there seemed to be traces of fragmentation on the sternum, after years of corrosion, the crack on the bone was not clear, but I could still see that there was a bone missing from the third thoracic rib joint.

"Die through the chest." Liang Houzai said as he hit the flashlight on the ground, carefully searching for something.

Soon, he found an iron cone-like thing from under the corpse, about a foot long, with a wide tail and a narrow end, hollow, and a layer of scales as hard as iron on the outside.

Liang Houzai took the cone in his hand and weighed it, and said to me, "This should be the cause of the mad monk's death." ”

I took the awl and looked at it, after so many years, there was still a faint yang energy on it, it seemed that it should be something from the Iron Dragon King.

Seeing that I had been near the corpse for a short time, I thought that I couldn't delay any longer, so I raised my fist, shook the corpse respectfully, and said: "We have always respected the dead in the same vein, and your things should not have been taken, but this box may be the key to dealing with the Iron Dragon King, the younger generation borrowed it, and if you can return the same way, you must return it." ”

Liu Shangang frowned and asked me: "He has been dead for so many years, can he still hear you speak?" ”

"This is the most basic respect for a monk." I patted Liu Shangang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Let Liu Shangang put away the scale cone, and I will beckon everyone to move on.

As I went deeper, the yang energy in the tunnel became stronger and drier, and I could feel that the temperature outside was getting higher and higher when I was wrapped in a winter suit, and the smell of silt here was not as heavy as it was just now, and there was a feeling of dryness in the air.

The water on the ground has been completely evaporated, because of over-drying, there are very narrow cracks on the stone wall, and *** slowly flows in from those cracks, but it has been completely evaporated before it lands, and in such a dry environment, I feel that the air is about to crack.

Senior Brother Geng muttered something as he walked, he didn't press the button on the mask below, and no one could hear what he was saying.

After walking for more than an hour, I stopped, took out the water bottle from the waterproof bag, took off the mask, and poured a large mouthful of water, my throat, which had been dry for a long time, finally moistened a little, and my brain cleared up a little.

I put the mask back on, and I saw that the others had taken out their water bottles and drank with a frown, just like me.

This place is so dry that walking here is like walking in the desert under the scorching sun, the only difference is that you can at least sweat in the desert, but here, as soon as a bead of sweat appears on your forehead, it will be steamed dry almost immediately.

Senior Brother Geng walked up to me, grabbed a handful of yin and yang sand and sprinkled it in the air, and saw that the sand grains first circled in the air into a circle, but then began to scurry around irregularly, and finally scattered on the ground like ordinary sand.

Senior Brother Geng said to me: "The Iron Dragon King is indeed powerful, even the First Ancestor's Little Three Talent Bureau can't completely suppress it, it may break out of the tomb at any time." There is a way, you are at the forefront, but you have to be careful. ”

I asked Senior Brother Geng, "What's going on with Yin Yang Sand?" ”

Senior Brother Geng: "The Qi field in this place is under the influence of the Iron Dragon King, and it has been completely separated from the general trend of feng shui outside, and it is too troublesome to explain it specifically, in short, you should be careful." ”

I nodded, and when I saw that everyone was wearing their masks, I waved and motioned for everyone to move on.

The Iron Dragon King could break the tomb at any time? In other words, the tomb has been in danger of storming for the past two thousand years, and now the tomb may be in danger of collapsing quickly at any moment.

The yang energy in the tunnel already gave me a very uneasy feeling, but now when I heard Senior Brother Geng's words, the worry in my heart was a little heavier.

After walking for about half an hour, I vaguely felt a corpse gas coming from the front of the tunnel, and immediately pressed the button on the mask and said to the person behind me, "There may be an evil corpse ahead!" ”

Just as I was talking, the corpse qi in the distance suddenly moved towards us at a very fast speed, and I immediately raised my arm, waved my hand, and motioned for everyone to retreat.

The corpse aura wasn't too strong, but it gave me a very awkward feeling. It's too pure, the evil corpses I've seen in the past, whether it's a bronze armored corpse or a corpse, in addition to corpse qi, there must be other Qi fields on the body, and what can come from the front is a simple corpse qi.

I pulled out my blue steel sword, pinned the Fantian seal to my waist, and retreated as I watched vigilantly for the movement ahead.

But at this moment, there was also corpse qi behind him, and two corpse qi enveloped us back and forth, surrounding us.

Where did that corpse breath come from? After walking for so long, there was no other fork in the tunnel behind him.

As the two corpse gases in front and back got closer to us, I realized that they were coming from the rock roof of the tunnel.

Outside the tunnel, it should be the *** used to press the tomb, could it be that the evil corpse swam along the waterway.

At this time, there was a small clicking sound at the top of the tunnel, and I stared at the top of the stone, and I saw a palm-sized place cracking rapidly, and a bag was raised, and the fragments of the stone continued to spill down along the crack.

Immediately afterward, there was a series of noises overhead, and stone bags were raised in many places, and things hidden in the waterways were about to break through the top.

If it was placed in the past, I could have taken a set of gang steps to control the people and things in the waterway, but here, once I stepped on a set of gang steps, the yin energy in the waterway would be quickly consumed, but the yang energy on the iron dragon king's body would not be affected too much.

When the time comes, I am afraid that the consumption of yin qi is too large, and the Iron Dragon King will immediately lose its suppression.

At this time, there was already *** flowing down the crack, and Liang Houzai immediately took out the evil charm and pasted two on the backs of Liu Shangang and Senior Brother Geng.

When I turned to look over there, I noticed that Xian'er had an extra roll of long whip in her hand, and there was a cluster of hard thorns on the whip head.

The situation was urgent, so I didn't think much of it and looked overhead.

With a muffled bang, a large amount of rubble splashed down, and a hole the size of a bowl appeared in the top of the stone, and a column of water poured out of the hole, but nothing else came out.

After landing, it quickly spread in all directions, and the yin energy in it was collided with the yang energy, and the water began to bubble and tumble incessantly, as if it was boiling.

By the time the water spread to my feet, the yin energy inside was almost completely depleted.

I clenched the green steel sword, staring at the hole in my head, the corpse qi on the top was rapidly pressing towards us, but the evil corpses did not get out of the hole for a long time, and I felt as if they were afraid of something.
