Chapter 12: The Lao Family
Wei Ziyang is leisurely looking at the shop and practicing, and the excavation project of Xu Fu Underground Palace is also progressing very smoothly, since the colorful stone was stolen by Wei Ziyang, no strange things have happened at the construction site, and the sky is beautiful, and it took less than three days to dig the black stone door at the entrance of the underground palace.
This made the construction team of the bamboo pole family so excited, and it was not in vain, but the funders frowned slightly.
"What's going on?" asked an old crane-haired man with a frown.
On the same day, Wei Ziyang's 'Boss Lao' replied with a little uneasiness: "My grandson doesn't know, it was normal a few days ago." ”
"Father, don't worry, it may be that the formation has been tempered for more than two thousand years, and it has exhausted its energy to be so calm. A middle-aged man next to him soothed.
"Hopefully. The old man bowed his head, but there was still some uneasiness in his heart, the ancestors did not say so.
Wei Ziyang's guess was right, the sponsor of this archaeological excavation was the descendants of Xu Fu. But not Lao, but Lao. Inherited for thousands of years, dozens of generations of ups and downs, but with the ancestor Xu Fu Yuyin, the Lao family finally survived.
Once Xu Fu Digong sees the light of day again, the Lao family will reach the top of the entire Xiuzhen world.
However, because Xu Fu was guarding the lower layers of the underground palace at the beginning, defending and even killing countless formations, it is necessary to restart it until today, so there is this excavation operation in the name of archaeology.
After another day, the entrance to the underground palace was completely cleared, and the stairs were quickly repaired on the spot, and even an iron shed was built overnight to protect from the wind and rain.
And they found that the atmosphere at the scene began to become tense, and a large number of black-clad bodyguards were dispatched to guard the scene, and everyone who entered and exited needed to be checked.
When the repair site was completed, the workers of the bamboo pole family were driven away, but fortunately, these people were generous, and the money and various compensation were also more, and the bamboo pole family's labor team had no reason to say more.
"Ziyang, you don't know, those black-clothed bodyguards are all fierce and vicious, and they don't have weapons with bulging waists, what kind of ancient tomb do you say is underneath?
After the bamboo pole came back from the construction site, he went to Wei Ziyang's grocery store to eat and drink, and he had never heard of it from the beginning, but in the end he was angry and regretful, and said: "It's a pity that I can't leave my knowledge, those few surnamed Lao are very high!"
The construction progress was so fast, which was beyond Wei Ziyang's expectations, but when he heard that the battle of the 'Lao' family was so big, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What's so beautiful, isn't it just a broken grave!"
But it was this grave that caused a bloody storm when they were talking.
After driving away the idle people and waiting, the Lao family is about to open the Xu Fu Underground Palace, this day their Lao family has been waiting for two thousand years!
"Who ......?"
The guards stationed outside the forest suddenly shouted, and then there was no sound at all.
I don't know when it began, the whole mountain was silent, and no insects or birds could be heard.
"Enemy attack!!" Lao Zhendong, the head of the Lao family, reacted first, and shouted vigilantly, his face was full of murder, what the Lao family had been looking forward to for more than 2,000 years, someone dared to worry about it! No matter who it was, they had to die!
The atmosphere of the entire archaeological site was solemn, and the hundreds of security guards stationed around took out their guns one after another, strictly guarding the surrounding grass and trees.
"Whew-poof!"
The arrows that flew out of the jungle were fast and accurate, and all the arrows sank into the chest of one of the bodyguards, and he fell to the ground with a deep grunt.
"Bang! bang......"
The well-trained bodyguards immediately aimed their guns at the direction where the arrows were fired, and adjusted their formations while suppressing the firepower, and some people wanted to take the opportunity to enter the woods.
However, several sounds of breaking the air hit almost simultaneously, and several people had no time to get close before they became corpses. Not only that, but then another bow and arrow were fired from the other side, killing and wounding several people.
The members of the Lao family have already walked out of the pit, and they are all furious when they see this situation, and Lao Zhendong roared even more: "Hakka, a group of rat-headed and rat-tailed people, my Lao family will fight with you endlessly!"
There was silence in the forest for a moment, and then a voice came: "Laozhendong, I don't know if you have crossed the line, and you don't know if you dig treasure in my Hakka land." Since it's in my Hakka land, you should always get a piece of the soup, right?"
Lao Zhendong laughed angrily, took out a sword from his waist and said fiercely: "The treasure of the ancestors of the Lao family, how can you let the villains such as Er'er worry about it! The children of the Lao family listen to the order, and those who come to attack will be killed!"
The treasure is too important, and even arouses the concern of the Hakka people in the vicinity. Similarly, in order to protect this heavy treasure, the Lao family did not hesitate to set off a bloody storm.
The Hakka are good at using bows and arrows and travelogue tactics, and they seem to be elves in the jungle, but Laozhendong's strength is much higher than that of Hakka, and Hakka's bows and arrows can't shoot at his side at all.
Under his leadership, the Laojia guards patrolled and broke the Hakka offense and defense, and the two sides launched a fierce contest, and the mountains and forests were full of fishy winds.
In the end, the Lao family led by Lao Zhendong won the victory, and only a few Hakka people escaped. But the Lao family also suffered serious losses, and what made them even more worried was that the treasure here would be leaked. The Hakka is only a small local force, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but the Lao family is only a third-line cultivation force in the country, and once it attracts the prying eyes of other big forces, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Open the dungeon immediately!" Lao Zhendong said in a deep voice.
After some preparations, he finally made all preparations before the night, Lao Zhendong pinched the mysterious magic seal in front of the black stone gate, and finally slapped his palm on the stone door, and those stripes were actually lit up.
"Stand back!" Lao Zhendong shouted.
"Boom ......"
This black stone door, which even the iron pickaxe created by my world, could not be broken, and it exploded like this.
"It's full of white phosphorus!" The man in Chinese clothes who choked and contempt Wei Ziyang exclaimed, he was the grandson of Lao Zhendong, Lao Zhiyuan.
"You are guarding the door, no one is allowed to enter!" Laozhen East Natural Way This phosphorus fire is powerful, modern people only understand the white phosphorus thing, and in ancient times, this phosphorus fire could be smelled and discolored.
The order was right, Lao Zhendong just lightly totoed, and the whole person floated through the white phosphorus array. Although white phosphorus will spontaneously combust, as long as it is not seriously triggered in such an environment, it will not reach the ignition point, not to mention that now that the sun has set outside, Wei Ziyang stupidly stretched the torch upwards to cause the phosphorus fire to burn.
"How can there be a smell of fireworks?"
Lao Zhendong's face changed while he was still in the air, and by the time he reached the first stone gate in the underground palace guarded by a puppet stone maid through the white phosphorus array, his face was already pale and bloodless.
"Where's the Guardian Stone Maid?"
The roaring sound was even conveyed outside the underground palace, which made everyone in the Lao family, who was originally full of expectations, start to be nervous, but they didn't dare to enter without permission, and they were restless for a while!
In the underground palace, Lao Zhendong looked at a stone maid on the ground, his face was pale, and his body trembled. I don't care about anything else at the moment, and I fly inside. When you come across five lanes, you can go straight through the fourth.
The entire underground palace is a treasure left by Xu Fu to his descendants, and the secrets of the underground palace are passed down from generation to generation by the head of the old family.
When Lao Zhendong arrived at the last big palace and saw that it was empty, and even the two guardian beasts had disappeared without a trace, his body immediately shook, and with a poof, a large mouthful of blood spewed.
"It's gone, it's gone, it's nothing!"
At this time, how could there be the majesty of the head of the Lao family in the east of Laozhen, and he lost his soul as if he had lost his soul. Xu Fu Digong is a treasure that the Lao family has guarded for more than 2,000 years, and it was not easy to survive until the opening day, but it was actually taken first?
After more than 2,000 years of waiting, it turned out to be a void in the end, which was even more uncomfortable than killing Lao Zhendong.
For more than 2,000 years, the guardianship of the Lao family for twenty or thirty generations has finally grown fruits, but people have picked them away, how whimpering?
"Poof......" another mouthful of old blood spurted out, and the last trace of strength of Lao Zhendong was also emptied, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed to be more than twenty years old. Cultivators can indeed make their faces age slowly, in fact, Lao Zhendong is also in his early 100s, but he looks like he is in his seventies.
But now that his spiritual power has been completely discharged, his skin will immediately recover his shriveled back, and his hair will instantly turn white, completely becoming a bad old man.
Outside the underground palace, as the sky darkened, nearly an hour had passed, but the head of the family did not move inside, and the Lao family and others became more and more tormented. Thinking of Lao Zhendong's angry roar when he entered, they already vaguely sensed that something had happened inside.
It's just that they don't want to believe that this underground palace Lao family has been guarding it for generations, and they can't accept any changes when they see that they can get the treasure inside.
"No, I'm going to go in and have a look!" Lao Zhiyuan couldn't help but leave.
"Stop!" his father Lao Fuxing shouted loudly: "There are many mechanisms in the dungeon, only your grandfather knows the layout inside, and his cultivation is much higher than yours, if even he has any accidents, you will be sent to death if you rush in!"
Lao Zhiyuan is still unwilling, but he also knows that his father has a point, and his grandfather knows the roots inside, and his own cultivation is very high, if even he can't deal with him, it will be useless to go in by himself. But this stopped more than his worries, and his palms were already full of sweat.
Everyone in the Lao family waited anxiously for a while, and finally heard the footsteps inside from far to near, but it was vaguely heavy.
"Master......" Lao Zhiyuan was about to shout excitedly, but suddenly it seemed as if someone had choked his throat.
The rest of the people had also seen Lao Zhendong walking out of it, full of white hair and dry skin, like a bad old man who was about to enter a coffin. When he entered, he flew through the white phosphorus array, but now he walked over the white phosphorus like a walking corpse.
As the white phosphorus came into contact with more and more air, especially the big feet of Laozhen Mountain stepped on the white phosphorus, the white-collar workers at the footprints had gradually smoked, and soon the phosphorus fire was gasped, but there was still a short distance from the entrance of the cave in the east of Laozhen.
Under normal circumstances, Lao Zhendong would not be able to burn him even if the phosphorus fire broke out if he wanted to escape, but now once this appearance is swallowed by the phosphorus fire, he will definitely die.
Everyone's faces changed, Lao Zhiyuan was about to move when he was held down by his father, and then plunged into the underground palace, at the moment when the phosphorus fire completely broke out, Kankan took Lao Zhendong out of the underground palace, but his arm was still burned by the phosphorus fire.
Not only were the clothes burned, but large swaths of the skin were corroded, revealing burnt flesh that could be seen in oil and water. Even if the cultivator had great perseverance, Lao Fuxing's expression twitched in pain, and his head was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.
Lao Zhendong turned a blind eye to the injuries suffered by his son in order to save himself, and when he came back to his senses a little, he gritted his teeth and said: "Investigate thoroughly! We must investigate thoroughly! Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find out this person! Who stole the treasure of my Lao family and killed his whole family!"
The people of the Lao family who were in a panic around all turned pale when they heard this, although they had already guessed in their hearts before, but they were really confirmed, and their hearts were still not good, and several older people couldn't bear such a blow, and they fainted with anger one after another, making the scene flustered, and the scene was full of sadness.
