Chapter 2 Barren Land
Huo Liuli stopped the car, and the two looked at the side of the road together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I saw a figure flash on the edge of the car's light column, and the next moment, the Yin Lord had already appeared in front of the car.
The lights were a little dim and yellow, but Huo Xiaolu could still be seen clearly from such a close distance. It was obviously dark, and he wore a jacket with his sleeves rolled up, his skin shining metallicly against the headlights, and he looked much stronger than before. Now his hair is cut into a board inch, and his original fair skin is pale and stained with a little vicissitudes of life, he is no longer the big boy who still has a bit of scholarly temperament, and now he is more like a beast foraging in the woods, not sharp but full of danger.
Huo Xiaolu was carefully feeling the changes in the Yin Lord, and the Yin Lord here looked at him holding his breath and teasing him with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Could it be that you haven't seen you for this time, you already like men"
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "What do you think, you guy with a dirty psychology, you don't say anything nice as soon as you meet!" ā
Ignoring the mutual ridicule between the two big men after a long absence, Huo Liuli jumped out of the car with a grin, just like the first time when the Z big appeared, the whole person suddenly pounced on the Yin Lord's body, holding it like a koala and not letting go. I haven't seen her for a long time, and the Yin Lord misses her very much, hugging the person in his arms tightly and not saying a word. The night was quiet and so were they.
Huo Xiaolu, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, didn't he show his affection in front of him. He cleared his throat and said in a deliberately yin and yang manner: "Yo, this little couple has been reunited after a long absence, is it too eye-catching for me to be here?" ā
"You know that, too? That's not dodging yet! The Yin Lord waved his hand without raising his head, like to drive away an annoying fly.
Although Huo Xiaolu wanted to slap these two people to death now, considering that there was really a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, he still wisely gave up this idea.
But fortunately, the two didn't get tired for too long, and soon the two separated, after all, business matters. This time, Huo Liuli sat next to the luggage in the back seat, and changed the Yin Lord to drive.
Huo Xiaolu asked, "What, is there still a long way to go?" ā
After starting the car, the Yin Lord said, "What do you think? I've walked five or six kilometers to meet you. ā
There was no way, Huo Xiaolu could only lament, looking forward to the end of his dozens of hours of car ride.
But things are far from being so simple, as soon as the Yin Lord stepped on the accelerator, Huo Xiaolu vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he subconsciously clenched the armrest. As he expected, the moment the Yin Lord stepped on the accelerator, the off-road vehicle let out a loud roar like a black giant beast that had woken up, and after that, the wheels suddenly exerted force, and the entire body sped forward quickly.
The road in the forest is not easy to walk, and there are some very narrow places that can only allow the car to pass, but the speed of the Yin Lord has not decreased at all, and even has a tendency to gradually increase.
Huo Xiaolu was so frightened that he grabbed the handrail and didn't dare to move, watching the trees on the left and right pass quickly, his face was a little pale. His voice trembled and he said to the Yin Lord, "You, can you slow down?" It's a big night, it's like this, it's not safe......"
As soon as his words fell, he felt the car thump, and suddenly it stopped. The strong inertia caused his body to involuntarily lean forward, but fortunately he was wearing a seatbelt before, so he didn't hit his head on the windshield. He shouted in horror, "Hey, what are you doing?" Murder! ā
The Yin Lord pointed out of the car and said lightly: "Get out of the car, it's here." ā
The panicked Huo Xiaolu only had time to look out of the car window at this time, only to see that there was a large open space in front of the place where the car was parked, which was very weird, it was really a complete open space, not even a single needle, and only a few scattered gravel on the land were eye-catching. And, of course, three tents not far from them.
Huo Xiaolu got out of the car and looked at this strange scene curiously. The clearing is surrounded by trees, like a scar that has been forcibly cut out, and the two boundaries are close to each other, but they do not interfere with each other, drawing a rigid dividing line. Looking at this seemingly normal soil, Huo Xiaolu smelled a trace of unusual breath, and felt that it was not something fun.
"What's going on, you made it?" Huo Xiaolu pointed to his feet.
The Yin Lord looked at him with disdain: "What do you think, how can the formal impermanence of my dignified impermanence Yin family be such a coolie like a lumberjack?" This is a natural occurrence. ā
Slanting his eyes, Huo Xiaolu looked at him with contempt: "Then you still came to dig people's ancestral graves in person, and you didn't do much with impermanence." ā
The Yin Lord pursed his lips and didn't bother with him: "There is an old man in the family who presides over the overall situation, so I won't join in the fun, and come out to the grassroots level under a false name!" ā
Then he said, "Are you curious about what's going on here?" ā
Huo Xiaolu nodded: "Yes, what do you think is going on?" I feel a little abnormal here, how do you feel cold under your feet? ā
At this time, Huo Liuli interjected: "Didn't we come this time to find the tomb of King Qing." ā
"That's right." Huo Xiaolu waited for the following.
Huo Liuli pointed to his feet: "This is it." ā
As soon as these words came out, Huo Xiaolu was startled, and he almost didn't jump up: "You mean that we are standing on top of the ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty now?" ā
"That's right." The Yin Lord and the Fire Glass nodded in unison.
He continued, "Our camp is also here?" ā
"Didn't you see it all?" Pointing to the tent not far away, the Yin Lord said.
Huo Xiaolu didn't know how to organize his own language anymore, so he simply asked directly, "You mean that we are going to sleep on the ancient tomb for one night tonight?" ā
"Any questions?" The Yin Lord smiled brightly, and his face was full of course.
Taking a look at this land that looked gloomy at this time, Huo Xiaolu secretly swallowed his saliva and did not make a sound.
At this time, it was Huo Liuli who comforted him and said: "Don't worry, although there is no grass here, it is not because of the resentment of any ghosts in the tomb, but because of the fierce atmosphere." ā
"Fierce spirit? Could it be that there are some peerless murderers in this tomb? Huo Xiaolu was immediately interested when he heard this.
Huo Liuli shook his head: "That's not it, this ferocious aura doesn't come from any fierce weapon, but from the mechanism inside." ā
Huo Xiaolu's eyes widened suddenly: "Organ? Isn't it, what kind of mechanism is so fierce? ā
Huo Liuli smiled and didn't explain immediately, but said: "There is already a fire on the Yin Lord's side, let's go over first and eat something." ā
Full of curiosity, Huo Xiaolu followed Huo Liuli to their humble campsite. The Yin Lord had already lit a fire, and took out some cans from the tent and divided them among the two of them: "Come, make do with some food, I didn't catch any game today, otherwise I will roast you and make pheasant soup." ā
After taking the can and opening it, a strong aroma of beef came to his nose, causing Huo Xiaolu's index finger to move. After running around for so long, he was indeed hungry and couldn't wait to eat it.
I don't know when the moon crept up, and the moonlight mixed with the starlight sprinkled softly, and the fire on the ground reflected each other, and it was exceptionally bright. After a meal of nonsense, Huo Xiaolu couldn't walk anymore, and sat there taking small sips of the flower tea brewed by the Yin Lord. At this time, he remembered what Huo Liuli hadn't finished saying before, so he asked, "By the way, senior sister, you haven't told me yet, what is the mechanism in this tomb below us, why is it so fierce?" ā
Huo Liuli was also holding a cup and sipping hot tea, and when he heard Huo Xiaolu ask, he explained to him: "We don't know what mechanisms are in it, we only know that the organs in this tomb are arranged in all the ancient tombs of all dynasties that we know so far, and they can also be ranked." ā
Hearing her say this, Huo Xiaolu was a little unimpressed: "No, right?" It's just a tomb of a prince of the Qing Dynasty, is it more dangerous than Dongling? ā
Hearing their conversation, the Yin Lord also walked over with a teacup. He sat down next to Huo Liuli and said, "Don't underestimate this tomb owner, this is not a simple person. ā
"This prince was born in the Qianlong period, and he is Jiaqing's elder brother according to his generation. However, he did not enter the royal genealogy in his life, because it is said that he was born to a folk girl during a civil visit by the Qianlong Emperor. ā
Huo Liuli took over the conversation and said: "When Qianlong was old, this person was found, and he simply recognized his ancestor. Because he grew up in an ordinary people's house since he was a child, Jiaqing saw that he had no threat to him, so he gave him the empty name of a prince and put him in the northeast. ā
"But I don't want to, although this prince doesn't have the intention of fighting for power and profit, he is only obsessed with one thing, and that is this secret technique. He was a carpenter before, and later after he was crowned the prince, he sent people around to find the records of various skilled craftsmen handed down in ancient times, and he gained a lot during the period. After a long time, he became the first person in the world to do secret arts. ā
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu understood a little: "In other words, inside the tomb of this prince is the essence of various secret art schools from ancient times to the present?" ā
The Yin Lord nodded: "Not only that, I heard that he later found some long-lost ancient tricks from somewhere, and those tricks are not in line with common sense, because they are too insidious and fierce and even intolerable to the world, which makes his strength go to a higher level, but it also becomes the source of his violent death in the future." ā
After listening to their introduction, Huo Xiaolu looked thoughtful: "It seems that this prince is also a great character, and it seems that his tomb is not so easy to enter." ā
Immediately, he seemed to think of something, stared at the Yin Lord and Huo Liuli and asked, "The reason why you two are interested in this place is probably because of the secret technique here, right?" ā
