Chapter XXV. Transactions
There are still about two hours before dawn, and as soon as the day dawns, the slaves will be hidden, so it seems that the tomb of the Qing king will not be completed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info they were in a hurry before, but fortunately, no one came these days, and Bu Tianliu and the others didn't have time to make trouble, and everything was still there. After a brief cleanup, the three of them fell asleep.
With a slight sense of excitement, Huo Xiaolu couldn't fall asleep inside the tent over and over again. He knew in his heart that things would definitely not be easy tomorrow night, and it was the first time he had seen the Yin Lord do such an uncertain thing, which made him feel very excited, maybe this was the innate desire in the blood of people in the Yin and Yang Realm of life and death. Of course, he looked forward not only to the excitement of facing danger, but also to the apprehension of his own secrets.
It is a very difficult thing to have an unclear secret in your body, as if an ordinary person has a rare and incurable disease, and he doesn't even know the cause, so how can he be cured. And now, he finally has the opportunity to solve the puzzles of his body, and his heart is almost impatient.
After tossing for a long time, Huo Xiaolu finally couldn't bear the sleepiness and slowly fell asleep. However, even in his dreams, his excitement continued, and he had many vague dreams. Strange to say, I don't know when he started, he began to dream wildly when he slept, and when he woke up, he almost forgot about it, and he himself thought it strange. Thankfully, it didn't interfere with his sleep.
Needless to say, when Huo Xiaolu came out of the tent, he was surprised to find that there had been a huge change here.
Under a dead tree, Huo Liuli and the Yin Lord were leisurely drinking hot tea. The tree they were leaning on was a shocking sight, its straight trunk had bent into a strange shape, its bark cracked and somehow blackened, and the fibers of the trunk peeking out of the cracks in the bark were a pale, almost human bone color, in stark contrast to the black shell. The needles on the canopy of the tree had long since fallen to the point that there was nothing left, bare, and the whole body exuded a thick dead air. What surprised Huo Xiaolu even more was that not only the tree in front of him, but also the trees around the entire clearing had become like this, as if the entire forest had been emptied overnight, and the hideous and twisted torso was like a thin arm of a hellish demon breaking through the ground.
"What's going on?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Huo Xiaolu felt a little frightened in his heart. If he remembered correctly, this was not the case when they came in the second half of last night, that is, it happened while they were asleep.
After taking a small sip of the tea in the cup, there was still some hot tea, and the Yin Lord said without picking: "Don't worry, this has no effect on you." ”
Huo Xiaolu's eyes were still cautious, and he hoped that the Yin Lord could explain it to him.
Pointing to the ground, the Yin Lord said: "The mechanisms in the tomb of the Qing King are all activated, and the ferocity is excessive, killing these fragile beings on the surface almost instantly. Our old friend knew we were back, and it was an invitation to us. ”
Looking at the ground with a frown, Huo Xiaolu's heart began to worry: "Are you sure of such a fierce mechanism?" ”
The Yin Lord smiled casually: "This can't just ask me, it should be asked, are we sure?" ”
Shrugged helplessly, and glanced at the lifeless scene around him again, Huo Xiaolu went to find something to eat by himself.
Today's weather is good, and Huo Xiaolu, who is full of food and drink, is lying on the ground on all sides basking in the sun. The warm sun shone on his stomach, and he felt that his whole body was going to melt, and he lay there and didn't want to get up. In a trance, half-dreaming and half-waking, before I knew it, it was already dusk.
Huo Liuli walked up to him and sat down, seeing that he still didn't want to open his eyes, he smiled helplessly and shook his head. She asked softly, "Are you afraid?" ”
"Afraid of what? Anyway, I always have to go for it. Huo Xiaolu's voice was lazy, feeling like a lazy European lady lying on the couch on her side. He sighed softly, "It can all be solved tonight, right?" ”
Letting the three thousand green silks block the orange sunlight outside, Huo Liuli hid her side face into the shadows, she didn't answer Huo Xiaolu's question, but continued to ask, "Do you hate us?" ”
Turning her face sideways, Huo Xiaolu opened one eye and looked at Huo Liuli, feeling that the sun was a little dazzling on her hair, so she closed her eyes again: "Hate it." ”
Although he couldn't see her expression, Huo Xiaolu still knew that she was smiling.
She smiled and said, "Then it looks like you're ready." ”
Huo Xiaolu pouted: "Of course." ”
Nodding, Huo Liuli stood up and prepared to walk away.
Suddenly, Huo Xiaolu stopped her: "Senior sister." ”
She stopped, didn't look back, just listened quietly.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "You'll help me, right?" ”
Huo Ruri smiled, made an OK gesture, and continued to walk away.
Huo Xiaolu finally lay down with peace of mind, comfortably enjoying the warmth of the last ray of sunshine.
It may be because the sun is too warm during the day, and as soon as it gets dark, the chill suddenly sweeps in, and the winter world is already very quiet, and at night it feels even more deserted. There was no fire tonight, and after a simple dinner, they packed up all their belongings and planned to settle the matter tonight.
The thief cave was still there, and the Yin Lord no longer used the Raushzi escape technique, and the three of them came to the underground world from this passage again. As they stood in front of the gate of the king's tomb, the huge stone door opened, and the four slaves were already standing in front of the door.
Seeing the three of them again, Yan Yi looked very happy, bowed slightly and said, "Three, meet again, this time, you should be able to solve the problem at one time, right?" ”
The Yin Lord arched his hand and said, "That's nature, things here have dragged on long enough, I think it's time to end." ”
"That's great, of course." Seeing that the three people in front of him didn't want to go in at all, Yan Yi couldn't help but smile: "I understand that the three of you must not do it in vain, if you have any requirements, just say it and listen to it." ”
At this time, Huo Liuli spoke: "Actually, your Excellency should be clear about our requirements, but we think it's better to explain it before the matter starts, what do you think?" ”
Yan Yi laughed: "That's nature, since that's the case, let's just say it." ”
"After you break the 'ten-mile battlefield', help me and others kill the prince of Huan Zhou, after the matter is completed, all 1,311 kinds of secret techniques will be presented with both hands, and the rest of the prince's funeral goods can be taken if you have any eyes."
Huo Liuli added: "There is one more thing, you have to answer Huo Xiaolu's questions afterwards, and you know everything and say everything. ”
Hearing this, Yan hesitated slightly, and then smiled: "This is naturally possible." It's just that I have to inform Huo Gongzi in advance that I don't know as much as Your Excellency imagined, but I'm afraid that Huo Gongzi will be disappointed at that time. ”
Huo Xiaolu nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, as long as Your Excellency promises not to hide it." ”
"That's nature."
Now that the matter has been settled, it is time to get down to business. As before, the four slaves led the way in front, and the Yin Lord and the other three followed behind.
Walking through the long cemetery again, Huo Xiaolu felt some emotion in his heart. The light emitted by the pearl inlaid on the top was very soft, and it would not hurt his eyes when he looked at it directly, and he had been wondering if this would be the legendary night pearl. Only now did he have the heart to observe the murals on both sides, he did not know much about history and culture, he just felt that these paintings were bright in color, and the things painted were simple but expressive, and if they were put outside, they would be considered a great thing. As he skimmed through the murals one by one, he gradually saw some eyebrows, which seemed to tell a story, the story of an old man in white teaching a young man to make various mechanical tools.
As if sensing that he was very interested in these things, Yan Yi introduced: "The murals in these tombs are connected together into a story, called 'Divine Grant of a Thousand Machines', which tells the story of the king of Huan Zhou who was taught the secret technique of the mechanism by the immortals in a dream. ”
Huo Xiaolu couldn't help but snort coldly: "You Huan Zhou Wang Ye really put gold on his face and teach it to the immortals, if he really has such a big creation, how can he turn into a pile of dry bones here?" ”
Yan Yi corrected him with a smile: "Huo Gongzi's words are wrong, although the prince has not gained immortality, he has not turned into dry bones." ”
Hearing him say this, Huo Xiaolu couldn't help but suffocate slightly, and didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, the Yin Lord spoke, and he said with a smile: "Your Excellency said that you are laughing, I am afraid that the current situation of the Lord of Huan Zhou is not much better than that of dry bones, right?" ”
Yan Yi smiled slightly and did not answer, and continued to walk forward.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the Yin Lord continued to ask: "But I'm curious about how the prince came back from the dead in this kind of place, could it be that his creation is already big enough to resist this level of ferocity?" ”
I don't know why the smile on Yan's face has disappeared, but he is now walking in front with his back to everyone, and they can't see the change in his expression. He sighed faintly and said softly: "Who said that he came back from the dead, the prince never died." ”
"Huh?!" This news shocked the three of them very much, and the Yin Lord hurriedly asked: "Are you saying that the prince of Huan Zhou has not died for two hundred years, and he built this tomb just under the guise of this?" ”
The steps under his feet were not chaotic at all, and Yan Yi slowly shook his head: "No, the prince should be considered dead, so it is natural for him to build this underworld, but he is not dead." ”
"When you kill him, you'll understand everything."
After that, he didn't speak again, and silently led the way in front with the other three slaves.
The information he revealed gave the three people behind him the most warning, and the Yin Lord gave Huo Liuli and Huo Xiaolu a look respectively, telling them to be careful in everything. After that, the three of them continued to walk forward with apprehension, and soon came to the last stone gate. (To be continued.) )
