Chapter 553: Grave Keeper

The dilapidated thatched hut stands quietly on this dark earth, which looks very abrupt. Its owner was a scrawny old man, dressed in an old gray robe, with white eyebrows and hair, and a face engraved with weathered wrinkles.

When Yan Qing and Wu Jiu walked to the thatched house, the old man also walked out of it tremblingly with a cane.

At this time, the old man said a few more words to Yan Qing and Wu Jiu, but Yan Qing and Wu Jiu still didn't know what he was talking about. The old man shook his head, then walked towards the back of the thatched hut, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

Yan Qing and Wu Jiu looked at the old man's disappearing figure, and then walked into the thatched house, but the thatched house was very ordinary, only some simple daily necessities.

"It's strange, who the hell is he, it's too common......" Yan Qing shook his head and said, although they knew that this old man was not ordinary, but apart from that, everything else seemed too ordinary.

"Very strange people. Mai Jiu also said.

"Let's go down and see. Yan Qing was silent for a moment and said.

Wu Jiu nodded, and then chased after Yan Qing, the old man walked tremblingly on crutches, not walking fast, they quickly caught up.

At this time, the old man stopped, said a few more words to them, and then pointed to the darkness behind him, and then to Yan Qing and Wu Jiu. However, Yan Qing and Wu Jiu still didn't know what the old man was talking about, and when they saw the old man walking down, they continued to follow.

"Ahh

The old man walked tremblingly on crutches and let out a sigh.

Hearing this sigh, Yan Qing and Wu Jiu trembled inexplicably, as if this sigh contained a lot of indescribable things in it.

In this way, the three of them walked quietly.

After walking for about half an hour, Yan Qing suddenly signaled to Wu Jiu, who was stunned for a moment, and asked with his divine sense: "What's the matter?"

"Look at what's underneath?" Yan Qing also said with his divine sense.

At this time, Wu Jiu glanced at her footsteps, her face suddenly changed, and there was a black void under her feet.

"This ......"

Wu Jiu was a little shocked, she didn't even notice all the way, what was going on? If it was changed to another place, this would be impossible at all.

"Leave it alone, keep going. Yan Qing thought for a while and said.

Wu Jiu nodded, and continued to walk as if he didn't see it, but as soon as he took a step, that foot stepped down, and the whole person fell into the void.

At this time, her face changed, what was going on?

Why didn't the old man fall, Yan Qing wouldn't fall either, and she fell alone?

Wu Jiu frantically clung to it, but couldn't catch anything, and in this void, she couldn't fly at all, she could only walk step by step like an ordinary person.

Just as she was about to fall, another big hand grabbed her wrist and lifted her up.

"The heart is as calm as a mirror, and you can walk. At this time, Yan Qing said softly.

At this time, Wu Jiu's heart was palpitating, and he couldn't be as calm as a mirror at all, but fortunately, Yan Qing was still holding on to her, otherwise she would fall again.

After a long time, Wu Jiu nodded to Yan Qing and said, "It's okay." ”

After Yan Qing let go of his hand, Wu Jiu really stood firm in the void, and at this time, Wu Jiu said thank you, he just bowed his head slightly.

At this time, the figure of the old man had disappeared.

Yan Qing and Wu Jiu both frowned, and slowly chased after them, and after walking for about half an hour, a tombstone appeared in front of them.

The tombstone is huge, exuding a heavy aura that makes people's souls tremble. Even the moment Yan Qing and Wu Jiu saw the tombstone, they almost knelt down, because its aura was too shocking.

The tombstone is nine zhang high, and there are four words written on it.

The Tomb of Wang Chan!

At this time, Yan Qing and Wu Jiu both looked at the tombstone quietly, and then glanced at each other, neither of them knew who this "Wang Chan" was. At this time, they saw that the old man was leaning over and slowly wiping the tombstone, and his movements were very slow.

"This is the place where the emperor is buried?"

Mai Jiu looked around, but it was dark all around, and he could only see the tombstone in front of him.

"Quite possibly. Yan Qing nodded.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then slowly approached, and the old man, who was wiping the tombstone, sighed softly when he saw Yan Qing and Wu Jiu.

This sigh made Yan Qing and Wu Jiu tremble again.

At this time, Yan Qing and Wu Jiu were a little afraid to hear the old man's sigh, because this sigh seemed to contain too many things in it, which made them shudder.

The old man was quietly wiping the tombstone, and after wiping it for a while, he saw that Yan Qing and Wu Jiu were still standing quietly, so he beckoned them to come.

Yan Qing and Wu Jiu walked over and heard the old man say a few words again.

Although they still didn't know what the old man was talking about this time, Yan Qing and Wu Jiu probably understood what the old man meant.

The old man is to let them wipe the tombstone.

Yan Qing didn't think about it, and immediately walked up to wipe it.

He didn't have a rag, he was wiping his palms a little bit, carefully wiping away the dust that fell from the tombstones. At this time, none of the three of them spoke, they were all quietly wiping the tombstones, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird.

However, Yan Qing also basically knew the identity of this old man, and he was likely to be the tomb keeper of the place where the emperor was buried.

It's just that the dust on the tombstone is difficult to wipe off, no matter how hard Ren Yanqing wipes it, she only wiped a small area for half an hour.

"The dust on the tombstone can't be wiped off, what should I do?" Yan Qing asked the old man.

The old man stopped and looked, and then said a few words, but Yan Qing still didn't understand, and at this time, he saw how the old man wiped the tombstone, and his eyes showed some horror.

The old man was wiping the tombstone with his blood.

Only with blood can the dust on the tombstone be wiped off.

Yan Qing frowned, then wiped the tombstone hard, and a pool of blood fell on the tombstone. Sure enough, the dust disappeared immediately under the blood.

When Wu Jiu, who was watching, saw it, his brows frowned, and he also began to rub it with blood.

But after wiping for a while, they began to get frightened, because wiping an inch of dust required a lot of blood. If this tombstone were to be wiped off, they would at least use up a lot of blood.

At this time, it took them a whole day to wipe the entire tombstone clean, and the eyes that looked at the old man became horrified. The two of them were half tired to death, but the old man was still the same old man, and he didn't even breathe.

After Wang Chan's tombstone was wiped, the old man walked into the darkness again.

Yan Qing and Wu Jiu were silent for a moment, and then they also followed, whether there was a second tombstone behind Wang Chan's tombstone.
