Volume 3 The Beginning Chapter 135 There is not even a ghost
Location: Coming to town again.
Characters: two deputy tutors of Yuzhou College, three masters of Liangzhou Academy, 15 students of Yuzhou College, and 30 students of Liangzhou Academy.
Few people know the secret of the ancient tomb of Zailai Town, even the old mayor in his sixties has only heard of it, this quaint town on the edge of Liangzhou City, has been outside the hustle and bustle of power struggle for thousands of years.
Then come to the town in the middle of the long six miles, wide five miles, the population is about 10,000, two sides by the high mountains, one side by the water, only in the east to leave the avenue directly to Liangzhou City.
When the fifty people came to the town again, the town was as calm as ever, the vendors should be selling and selling, the chaifu should go out, the restaurants and teahouses were all open, and several old men from the earth were sitting under the big locust tree and playing chess.
The leader of Liangzhou Academy is the middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Huang, we will call him Master Huang for the time being, and the students of Liangzhou Academy call him Master Huang.
Master Huang was holding a cyan narrow knife, and the strength of the late stage of the Fourth Heaven was strong.
The old mayor and the big people in the town came up and respectfully poured a few cups of tea, and the rest of the townspeople also brought some tea to moisten the throats of these "big people" from Liangzhou City.
The name of the town is not how good the town is, but because there are no guests in the town all year round, and ordinary people rarely come to the second time, so the townspeople hope that the guests can come again, so it is called the town again.
Some people may say, how can a town with mountains and rivers and not far from Liangzhou City be so in decline? In fact, it is all because of one word, water.
The water in the town is bitter, so bitter that you can't imagine it, you can't drink it without boiling, and even if it is boiled, it is difficult to eat.
When I came, I was more anxious, and I naturally sweated a lot all the time, so Master Huang drank it without thinking about it when he saw the water.
"Poof......." Master Huang squirted out the tea, his brows twisted into a knot, and said, "Old mayor, what kind of tea are you, it's so bitter and hard to swallow." ”
Zhou Feng also tasted it, it was indeed extremely bitter, but he didn't spit it out, and drank it slowly in his mouth.
Liu Mengmeng saw the "fragrance" that Zhou Feng drank, and also opened her small mouth to taste it, and then her beautiful eyes leaked indescribable sadness, knocked on Zhou Feng's shoulder, and whispered: "...... How did you drink it, it's a little unpleasant. ”
Zhou Feng took a few sips and said, "I ate too much sauce meat in the morning, and now I am thirsty, and the townspeople are kind, so I have to be polite." ”
Liu Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders and had to take a sip.
The old mayor said with great guilt: "...... It's not that the tea is bad, it's that the water in our town is not delicious, do you want some snacks and fruits?"
In the eyes of the townspeople who have not seen anything in the world, all the groups wearing standard clothes are adults, Lord Zhang, Lord Li, Lord Wang, and even the county officials who walk the streets and alleys are called adults when they arrive in the town.
The dean of the Nine Heavens Immortal Kingdom Cultivation Academy is an official character, and it is naturally right to be called an adult by eating imperial food, and these academy teachers are a little flattered when they are called adults.
Master Huang wiped the sweat from his chest and said to the old mayor: "Just call me Master Huang, we are mainly here for the matter of the ancient tomb this time.
When the old mayor heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, a few days ago, there were three old Taoists in the town, who would touch the bones and tell fortunes to fly to the sky. We wonder what these old immortals are doing there?"
The old mayor took a sip of tea and slowly fell into his memories: "But they insisted on going, so I had to let a few townspeople take them there, and after that, the three old Taoists didn't say a word, they tore off their robes and began to practice on the ground, and the ritual was done for a total of one day and one night, and it was nothing, but yesterday afternoon, suddenly the black cloud died, and after the outer door of this ancient tomb was opened, a hidden inner door actually appeared?"
"Inner Gate?!" Master Huang and Mu Zuo asked in unison.
The old mayor nodded, and continued: "This is not what I saw, it was all said by the townspeople who led the way, this inner door is black, there is no end in sight, the townspeople dare not go down to anything, the three old Taoists saw that the townspeople did not go and cursed a few words, and went in by themselves, guess what? After a while, three corpses flew out! After that, evil spirits began to pour out, hovering near the ancient tomb. There were two brush cultivators in the town who gathered together to investigate, but the evil ghosts were dangerous, and ordinary people couldn't get close to them at all, so we reported it to Liangzhou City, but the stranger thing was still to come. ”
The old mayor's gloomy tone made people's backs chill when they heard it, and they couldn't help but shiver.
He continued: "The evil spirits screamed all night, and today they are all gone. ”
Mu Zuo tilted his head and asked, "Disappeared, where is this ancient tomb now?"
The old mayor replied: "It's in the jujube forest ten miles north of the town. ”
Master Huang discussed it with Mu Zuo and decided to investigate.
Fifty people sorted out their swords and clothes, brought the sweet fruits sent by the townspeople, and set off towards the jujube forest under the leadership of the old town mayor and several Sanchongtian townspeople.
The jujube forest is prolific jujube trees, although it is the middle of winter here, but the climate of Liangzhou City and Dewang City is similar, so it is not very cold now, and the leaves of the trees near the jujube forest are still green, that is, the mountain wind blows a little rough people.
Looking at Liu Mengmeng in a skirt, Zhou Feng couldn't help but feel distressed: "I have to wear a skirt, the wind is so strong that your legs are frozen to death." ”
After speaking, Zhou Feng took off his coat and draped it on Liu Mengmeng.
In fact, Liu Mengmeng is not cold at all, her physique is warm all year round, and she belongs to the type that is afraid of heat and not afraid of cold, but she did not refuse Zhou Feng's thoughtfulness, and her heart was naturally warm when she was covered by Zhou Feng's coat.
Several girls from Liangzhou Academy couldn't help but feel jealous in their hearts, thinking about when they could have such a considerate and powerful man.
Lin Yu and Cen Rong also followed Zhou Feng's side, and Cen Rong said almost along: "Friend, you are so good to your concubine, as soon as I go back to those rooms in my house, I will be jealous, which gives me a headache." ”
As soon as she heard Cen Rong call herself a "little concubine", Liu Mengmeng's eyes were a little wrong, her little pink fist nested in Zhou Feng's coat was clenched tightly, Zhou Feng didn't stop her again, I was afraid that Cen Rong would be knocked to the ground.
Zhou Feng patted Liu Mengmeng gently, and then said to Cen Rong: "This is my girlfriend, not a concubine, don't call it that." ”
Cen Rong hurriedly patted his mouth and apologized: "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you look at me, I'm used to telling Lin Yu." ”
"Hmph......" Liu Mengmeng snorted coldly, don't turn her face.
Lin Yu was still dressed in the same wooden sword costume as always, and he said: "Hey, don't talk about concubines to me, how can I have concubines if I don't even have a family, how can I have a concubine like you, my wife has not yet married a concubine, and I have brought back three or four concubines." ”
Cen Rong said angrily: "You....... Haven't you ever visited the Green House?"
Lin Yu's face flushed: "I went to the Qinglou to listen to the music, what about you?"
"I'm here to watch people do. Cen Rong said without confidence.
Zhou Feng was really helpless, he didn't speak while walking, he and Liu Mengmeng were followed by a red puppy, which was the "flame".
Lin Yu Cen Rong chatted for a while, and finally stopped the story of the Qinglou.
Cen Rong saw that the "flame" was cute, and he reached out to touch it, but was murdered by the flame.
Liu Mengmeng smiled secretly in her heart, thinking that the person who knows the master is none other than the flame, this kind of person is fierce, and he is simply angry for himself.
Cen Rong sighed: "What a fierce puppy, friend, what kind of red dog is this, I haven't seen it." ”
Cen Rong also likes dogs, and has more than a dozen vicious dogs at home, and he has countless dogs. But he had never seen this small dog with red hair and long tail, and despite the small size of the "flame", it jumped up and down very lively, as if it had a thousand energies that wanted to be sent.
Zhou Feng didn't know how to explain it, so he simply said directly: "This is not an ordinary dog, it is a demon dog that has signed a spirit contract." ”
"Master and Servant Spirit Contract?!" Lin Yu and Cen Rong were both surprised, the magical beasts that could take the initiative to spit out the spirit contract scrolls were generally adults, and the puppy in front of them, who was only more than twenty centimeters tall, was actually a magical beast?
Lin Yu couldn't help asking, "Brother Zhou, take the liberty of asking, what level of demonic beast is your dog?"
"Fourth order. Zhou Feng said.
Fourth-order, that's equivalent to a fourfold heaven cultivator with you, and you have to be a cultivator with superior strength. Even Cen Rong, the son of the richest man in Liangzhou City, only has a third-order servant, the one-eyed green wolf, not that the higher-level demonic beasts are too expensive, but very rare, even he has not met a more suitable demonic beast servant for himself.
Lin Yu's father promised to give him a fourth-order demonic beast on Lin Yu's twenty-second birthday, and now he is still two years away, so he is really looking forward to it.
Lin Yu couldn't help but get closer to the "flames", and said with a smile: "I really hope that my future servant demonic beasts can be so cute." ”
Cen Rong was a little puzzled: "Uh...... Brother Zhou's fourth-order demonic beast is a little petite?"
Zhou Feng said: "He contracted to shrink voluntarily, and when he really encounters danger, he will change back to his previous size." ”
Voluntary? "Huomiao" yelled at Zhou Feng twice, as if to refute.
"I see. ”
chatting all the way, I unconsciously came to the jujube forest, climbed up the mountain and walked a mountain road, and in front of me was the rumored tomb entrance.
There were originally a few big trees at the entrance of this tomb, but now the big trees have long been uprooted and fallen five or six meters away, the outer door of the ancient tomb is a stone gate three meters high and three meters wide, and the stone door is engraved with ancient runes on the left and right.
Looking at the ancient characters, Zhou Feng was shocked in his heart, and said to Liu Mengmeng: "Show me your heavy sword." ”
Although Liu Mengmeng didn't know what Zhou Feng was going to do, she still handed over the heavy sword.
Zhou Feng was bowing his head and pondering, subconsciously reaching out to pick it up, and was almost pulled by the heavy sword.
Zhou Feng secretly complained in his heart, and then he carefully inspected the ancient rune characters on the hilt of the "Moon-watching" heavy sword, and then looked at the font on the ancient tomb, and it was actually eight or nine points alike!
This is certainly not a coincidence, but what era is the writing so mysterious, and what kind of mystery is behind it?
Mu Zuo and Master Huang decided to go to the ancient tomb to see it in person, but the cultivators in the town and the hundreds of people who watched the excitement behind did not dare to go, and in the end, it was the old mayor who personally acted as a guide to take everyone into the ancient tomb.
The ancient tomb was dim and gloomy, and more than two dozen torches were lit, gradually opening up a little.
As soon as you enter, there are two large burial chambers, east and west, ten meters by twenty meters on the east side, and twice as large as the one on the east side, except for some weeds and a sarcophagus that has been almost destroyed, and there is no hidden passage.
After passing the two burial chambers through the outer door, I continued to the west, and finally found a secret door in the wall.
The secret door is two meters high and more than one meter wide, leading to the west side.
The old mayor was also a little stunned when he walked here, and said to Master Huang and Mu Zuo: "The front is the inner door, and I haven't seen anything inside...... Do you want to go in?"
Master Huang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It's all here, how can there be a reason not to enter, enter!"
A group of fifty-one people courageously walked slowly towards the inner door.
Master Huang was at the front, and he took two male students.
Master Huang turned his head and said, "Master Muzuo, I will take the lead in the front, you take a few people in the back hall, and call me if there is anything." ”
Mu Zuo nodded, and led three more powerful male and female students to press the formation in the back.
Zhou Feng and Liu Mengmeng walked in the front position, and on their left were Lin Yu and Cen Rong.
I only heard Master Huang and the old mayor talking, asking and answering, it turned out that this ancient tomb was not built in the past few hundred years.
More than 100 years ago, the ancient tomb was dug up by the townspeople of Zailai Town during the opening of the mountain, and the years have long been unclear. At that time, the owner of the mining was still very happy, thinking that there would be some treasures, but there was nothing in the tomb of the outer door, and no inner door was found at that time.
Fifty people lined up in a line of more than 30 meters long and walked all the way along the stone corridor more than four meters wide, and they didn't find anything after walking for at least two miles.
In front of him was another burial chamber, which was even larger, thirty or forty meters long and forty meters wide and four meters high.
Using a torch to light the yellow candle in the tomb, Master Huang motioned for everyone to sit down and rest, he was not tired, but felt a little strange.
The cemetery is generally composed of several tombs, even if there are any hidden secret passages, they are a few meters and more than ten meters to the sky, and now when he encounters this kilometer stone road, no matter how he thinks about it, it is not an ordinary tomb, and he keeps beating drums in his heart.
Master Huang called Mu Zuo and a few other masters over and said to them, "I always feel that this cemetery is a little strange, my heart is pounding, shall we continue walking?"
A female teacher of Liangzhou Academy smiled and said, "It turns out that Master Huang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, will also be afraid? ”
This female teacher is in her forties and holds a three-color hexagram plate.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that we won't be able to deal with some big devil, to say that we have long put life and death aside, but these more than forty people are the elites of the two academies, and there are three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to the old dean. Master Huang explained.
"What's there to worry about, I haven't even had a ghost after walking for so long. Another male master of Liangzhou Academy complained while knocking the dust in his shoes.
Mu Zuo looked around and saw that there was a road on the other side of the tomb, but the road ahead was unknown, so he agreed with Master Huang's statement, so he said: "Then let's go back, and then call other masters to come and investigate when we return to Liangzhou City." ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
Master Huang and Mu Zuo were just about to call people back, when they suddenly heard the sound of squirming footsteps.
......
The sound of footsteps seemed to come from the hole in the tomb on the other side, Mu Zuo secretly said that it was not good, grabbed the weapon in his hand, and whispered to Master Huang: "Something has come out, everyone get ready." ”
Master Huang had already drawn his saber, and he replied, "I heard it, there are quite a few of them. ”
Mu Zuo explained to the old mayor: "Mayor of the town, you and the students have turned back from the road you came from, and we are in the way here." ”
The old mayor stumbled and ran all the way backwards.
Seeing that the mayor was so panicked, everyone hurriedly drew the weapons in their hands.
Zhou Feng had already heard the movement at the other end of the tomb, he pulled out the wind listening sword and put it in front of him, Liu Mengmeng was behind Zhou Feng, and the "flame" was staring at the entrance of the cave, but did not roar.
Here it comes.
By the dim light of the candle, a red bloody corpse with a bloody face roared and jumped over, this bloody corpse was more than three meters tall, and its body was bloated, as if it had lost human skin. Holding a huge gray weapon that cannot be named, his footsteps shake and are terrifying.
"What?!" began to scream several schoolgirls, who had never seen such a terrifying monster before, and sat down on the ground in fright.
Companions quickly helped them up, this is not the place to fall, they must get up quickly!
Behind the bloody corpse, another ghost swayed.
Dozens and hundreds of skeletons rushed out!
These skeletons were completely different from what they had encountered before, their bones were tall, about two meters long, and unlike the undead, the skeletons' eyes were blazing with blood-red flames.
When the bloody corpses and skeletons saw everyone, they attacked without saying a word.
The five masters hurriedly stood in the way, and Master Huang ordered the students: "A team of five!
As soon as they first met, the masters were caught off guard by the blood corpse and the skeleton group, this blood corpse definitely has the strength of the peak of the four heavens, and the long-handled weapon flew up and down, and the two teachers couldn't cope with it together.
Here are the highest cultivators of Master Huang and Zhou Feng, the late stage of the Four Heavens.
In the back of the line is the female master holding the hexagram plate, as well as Mu Zuo Lin Yu, in the middle of the Four Heavens.
The other two teachers were in the early stage of the four heavens.
If the blood corpses can be dealt with for the time being, these skeletons are much trickier, hundreds of skeletons have the strength of one or two heavens, the masters can block ten, can block fifty, but they can't stop the skeleton warriors who are gathering more and more.
Zhou Feng saw that Mu Zuo and the others were already overwhelmed, so he hurriedly picked up the Wind Listening Sword and said, "I'll help them, you guys retreat!"
Liu Mengmeng, Lin Yu, and Cen Rong would not leave, and they followed Zhou Feng to run in the direction of the blood corpse.
A dozen or so students began to support the five masters, but more skeleton warriors attacked the students' rear from both sides.
The rest of the student cultivators began to fight and retreated, returning along the stone corridor, and as soon as these people walked a few dozen meters, they heard a "clan......g" and threw something the size of a leather ball.
With a torch, I was almost scared and turned my back on it, it was a bloody human head.
(End of chapter.) Five thousand words and a big chapter, there is no division.
