Chapter 22: The Ghost Owl Yang King
I rub, there are really treasures!
I remembered what the bald heads had picked up just now, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that all these gold, silver and jewelry were washed out of the Xiaoyang Tomb they mentioned." A small number of people rushed to the cave just now, and most of them rushed out of the valley below from here. What is the origin of the owner of this Xiaoyang tomb? Actually used so much real money to accompany the funeral? ”
Yujing exclaimed, saying Xiaoyang Tomb? This cave is actually the tomb of the legendary Ghost Owl Yang King?
Hu Zhouzhou and I glanced at each other and said, "Ghost Yang King? Who is that? ”
Yujing was just about to speak, Hu Zhouzhou suddenly pointed behind me again and said, "What's that?" ”
I looked back and saw the water slowly coming towards us with two gray pieces. When I got closer, I saw that it was some kind of animal that had been cut in two. It's about the size of a bat, but it has a face that looks a bit like an owl.
I suddenly remembered a certain chapter in the Heavenly Dao Atlas. The monster pictured in that chapter looks like this, with an owl face and long fox eyes. His eyes glowed with a seeping blue light similar to phosphorus fire.
Ghost Owl Chapter.
The ghost owl is a bird of the underworld. It is a natural enemy of each other.
The beak of the devil is tough as steel. Meat-loving.
The ghost owl is a half-demon. Nothing shall be harmed.
The ghost owl was cut in two...... Could it be that I cut it when I was wielding a dagger indiscriminately? I said in my heart that this dagger left by the second uncle is really a good thing! Saved me twice in one day.
I said, "This Yang King is known as the Ghost Owl Yang King, could it be that he can raise a fierce bird like a ghost owl that does not belong to the world?" ”
Yujing said yes. This Yang King was a special and mysterious uncrowned king in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty. There is no record of him in any historical sources. Or that no historical record of his message has survived. But his story has not been lost. His life and his deeds are still passed down from generation to generation in many tomb robber families.
When Yujing was in the body, a group of tomb robbers bumped into a powerful demon in the process of searching for the tomb of Xiaoyang, and they had no choice but to go to the Taoist temple where Yujing was located for help. That was the first time Yujing had heard of the title of "Ghost Owl Yang King".
According to the tomb robbers at that time, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the heroes competed for hegemony, and the Yang King was also one of the leaders of the rebel army.
The Yang King's army was not large, but it was almost victorious. What's even more terrifying is that after a battle with a huge disparity in the combat strength of the enemy and us, the enemy's 300,000 troops actually disappeared strangely. Since then, it has been rumored that the Yang King can command the Yin soldiers. The 300,000 troops must have been sent directly into the Ghost Gate by King Yang.
The group of tomb robbers who went to the Jade Mirror Taoist Temple mysteriously said that their ancestor was an adjutant under King Yang. According to the adjutant's recollection, King Yang had a small group of men lure the 300,000 enemy troops into a certain uninhabited valley, and the group disappeared. Later, the adjutant secretly entered the uninhabited valley, and was shocked to find that the valley was full of white bones, and half of the flesh and blood were gone!
I couldn't help but look at the skeleton of the Shura pomfret in front of me. Goosebumps instantly hit the back of the head.
Tomb robbers say, apart from ghost owls, what else can turn hundreds of thousands of good soldiers and horses into bones in a short period of time? The name of the Ghost Owl Yang King has spread since then.
I said: "Since King Yang can rely on ghosts to run rampant in the world, why wasn't he the one who finally won the country of China?" ”
Yujing said that this is fate. Just when the Yang King was in high spirits, he suddenly died. And he seems to have anticipated his own death, and properly and carefully arranged for his 100 faithful dead men to find a secret and bless him for burial.
King Yang was thoughtful, and in order to prevent future generations of tomb robbers from worrying about the treasures in his tomb, he even secretly arranged for someone to destroy all the official histories about him. Unexpectedly, even so, there are still countless tomb robbers who have persevered and persevered in taking the Xiaoyang Tomb as the goal of struggle for hundreds of years.
Hu Zhouzhou said: "This Yang King is ruthless enough." destroyed all the records about him outside, and arranged hundreds of ghosts to block the way inside, more than 100 hanging coffins to cover the entrance of the main tomb, and raised ghost owls and Shura pomfret to guard the tomb. Then again, how did these monsters survive in caves for hundreds of years? ”
I said, "From this point, it can be seen that the Yang King is the number one person. He specially raised some of their natural enemies, Shura pomfret in the cave. In this way, it will prevent the ghost owl from breeding too vigorously. These two half-demons can also be used as food for each other, so at the same time, they solve the problem of eating. ”
Hu Zhouzhou glanced at the skeleton below again and said, "Once a tomb robber enters." Then the tomb robbers can serve as their common food! ”
I said, "Isn't it?" But there are so many human bones down there, and I don't think they are all tomb robbers. Maybe the people who opened the mountain and repaired the tomb back then have also explained here. King Yang has worked hard to lay such a net, and I think that his tomb must be more than just gold, silver and jewelry. ”
Yujing remembered something, saying that it was rumored that the reason why King Yang was able to control the ghost owl was all because of a strange flute.
Hu Zhouzhou was incredulous: "Dizi? ”
The jade mirror is right, it is said that it is a bronze flute known as the ghost flute. But no one has really seen it.
I said, "You mean this ghost flute is in the tomb of Xiaoyang?" ”
Jade Mirror said it was very likely. After the death of the Yang King, I have not heard of anyone else who can control the ghost owl. Then the ghost flute is very likely to be brought into the tomb by the Yang King.
Hu Zhouzhou's pupils dilated, and he said, "That flute can control such a powerful thing as a ghost owl, wouldn't we get rich if we got it?" ”
I said, "Getting rich is secondary, and the most important thing is to get the ghost flute so that we can leave alive." We couldn't find our way out, and the bald outlaws didn't kill us just because they wanted to use us to make the way. If they preemptively find the tomb of Xiaoyang and get what they want, how can they leave us alive? ”
However, there are ghost owls and Shura pomfret in front of them, and the chances of survival in the tomb of Xiaoyang are obviously not high. When I was in a dilemma, I heard the noisy voices of people in front of me, and the bald gang came to find it!
The figure came from the darkness, and I realized that there were only bald heads and two strong men. Have they also strayed? It's impossible, the bald head has been supporting his eldest brother, even if he gets separated, he should be with his brother. What the hell are these people doing?
The bald three were originally fierce and vicious, but when they got closer, one of the people behind the bald head suddenly screamed and pointed to my upper right with trembling bodies. The other looked in the direction he was pointing, trembling with fright, and said vaguely, "Ghost! Ghosts! ”
I was glad that maybe we could use their fear of the Jade Mirror to escape from here. I didn't think of what method to use, only listened to the "bang" twice, the bald head had already fired two shots at the jade mirror, and scolded and said that Lao Tzu didn't believe in this evil!
