Xu Jiaorong's words are undoubtedly a great encouragement for Chen Jianqiu, what does Qi Cixi's secretary mean, needless to say, his stepmother Xu Jiaorong is the secretary of Lan Da Zhenren, and now she is a third-grade Youyi Taoist, and her grade may not be high, but many real people want her to give her three points, because she also represents Lan Da Zhenren. Of course, Qi Cixi is not as good as Lan Dazhen, but he is young and has a bright future.

In addition, Chen Jianqiu has long had the identity of a Taoist child, which is a necessary precondition for entering the Daomen, and he can be regarded as half of the Daomen, so after his meritorious service, he will not be given the background of a fellow Taoist, but will quickly enter a channel for rapid promotion, which is undoubtedly much better than directly arranging a seven-grade Taoist.

What's more, if he can become Qi Cixi's secretary, then he has the qualifications to face Chen Jianqiu directly.

Of course, if he can find out about it.

After Chen Jianqiu left the tavern, he returned to his residence, stayed awake all night, and combed through all the clues he knew.

The answer of his stepmother Xu Jiaorong overturned many of his speculations, such as the speculation that Daomen assassinated the lord of Dayu, the speculation that Daomen allowed Chen Shuhua to assassinate the lord of Dayu, and so on.

However, this also opened another way of thinking for Chen Jianqiu.

The stepmother clearly said that those eunuchs who died violently had nothing to do with the Daomen, so who killed these eunuchs? What is the intention?

Its intention is easy to guess, and the intention is naturally to frame the Daomen and muddy the water to cover up some other things.

The question is who killed these eunuchs?

Chen Jianqiu is a member of Qingluanwei and has the duty of guarding the palace, and there should be files of these eunuchs in the Qingluanwei Governor's Mansion.

thereupon

Early the next morning, Chen Jianqiu took advantage of his position to consult the relevant files.

Not surprisingly, the real cause of death will not be recorded in the file, it is all the so-called violent illness and death, but Chen Jianqiu does not want to see this, he mainly wants to know where those eunuchs are buried.

Since he died of a violent illness, he naturally cannot be dealt with as a sinner, and there must still be something after his death.

As the personal eunuchs of the lord of Dayu, these eunuchs have a good status, similar to the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi of the Great Wei Dynasty in the previous dynasty, and there are also righteous sons, nephews and even families.

Moreover, the country of Dayu is deeply influenced by the Central Plains, whether it is Taoism or Confucianism, they all pay attention to entering the soil for safety, only Buddhism will be cremated, in order to wash away the suspicion that these eunuchs are people in Buddhism, it is naturally not good to be cremated, and they must be buried.

This gave Chen Jianqiu a breakthrough.

According to the records in the dossier, Chen Jianqiu came to a thirty-mile place outside the city of Shenglong Mansion.

The last eunuch who died violently was named Wu Fu and was buried here.

These eunuchs are all great eunuchs in the mouths of the people, with private houses and properties, and their cemeteries are all feng shui treasures, and there are even tomb keepers, so it is not easy to go directly during the day.

Chen Jianqiu could only wait until the evening, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and he took advantage of the night to sneak into the cemetery.

He was going to open the coffin for an autopsy.

The tomb here is, of course, not a small earthen bag, but a crypt chamber.

Chen Jianqiu has been in Qingluanwei for several years, and has been in contact with a lot of methods of three religions and nine streams, and he dare not say that he is proficient in the ability to point out the acupoints and look at the qi, and he can be regarded as knowing a little bit about it, and soon determined the layout of the tomb and the location of the tomb door, and then began to dig the "robbery hole".

The graves of these eunuchs though

However, there is a tomb, but it is by no means like a large labyrinth like the emperor's mausoleum, which is at most the size of a folk tile kiln, divided into a main tomb and two ear chambers, and the small one is the size of a room.

The burial chamber was very cold and pitch-black, and a pitch-black coffin was placed in the center.

The so-called coffin is composed of two parts, the outer coffin, that is, the outer coffin, or the big coffin, and the inner coffin is the coffin that holds the corpse.

Chen Jianqiu stepped forward, wanting to push open the lid of the coffin, and there was a biting chill in his hand, and the whole coffin was like a piece of ice, so that he had to retract his palm, and looked down, just under the touch just now, a thin layer of hoarfrost had formed on his palm.

Chen Jianqiu couldn't help but secretly let out a terrible chill, the death of these eunuchs was really strange.

Chen Jianqiu was a Qi Refiner, and he immediately activated his True Qi to isolate the cold, and at the same time, he exerted his strength to push the lid of the coffin open, revealing the smaller coffin inside.

I saw that the four corners of the coffin were nailed with nails, and although there was no light in the main burial chamber at this time, it still shimmered with a deep luster.

Chen Jianqiu lit a fire fold, and when he looked closely, he saw that above the nail, that is, where the hammer struck, there was a seal engraved with the word "kill", and he couldn't help but change color: "This is the 'corpse nail' of the Daomen?" ”

The so-called "corpse nail", as the name suggests, is a nail used to suppress the corpse, and nailing it to the coffin can prevent the corpse in the coffin from changing. The cemeteries chosen by these eunuchs were

Feng Shui treasure, if it dies normally, it will never be a corpse. Since there will be no corpse transformation, why bother to use the "corpse nail" to nail the coffin in one fell swoop?

There is also the chill just now, which also reveals a great abnormality.

Chen Jianqiu suddenly fell into a dilemma, after a battle between heaven and man, he finally turned his heart sideways and used the tools that had been prepared to pick up the "corpse nails" at the four corners of the coffin.

Then Chen Jianqiu pushed open the lid of the coffin, and the coffin was filled with green water, and the yin qi was thick, revealing a bloody aura.

Chen Jianqiu's face became more and more solemn, and he reached out to erect the coffin, causing the green water in the coffin to pour out, revealing one of the skin-covered corpses, the shroud had been corroded, and the ribs were clearly visible. The corpse was clinging to the bottom of the coffin, its skin was grayish, its eyes and cheeks were sunken, its eyes were wide open, and its mouth was slightly open, as if it was extremely frightened and lifeless.

Chen Jianqiu frowned suddenly, wrapped his palm in true qi, reached out and touched the corpse lightly, and saw that the corpse's chest collapsed entirely.

This is the last eunuch to die violently, and he has just died less than a year ago, and it turned out to be like this.

At this moment, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, and it turned into a living corpse and bit towards Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu had already taken precautions, and immediately punched out a palm, holding the chin of the living corpse, and letting it close its mouth again.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chen Jianqiu's mind turned sharply, this corpse changed abnormally, as if he had been killed by a "ghost curse".

The so-called "ghost curse" is a Taoist mastery, according to the stepmother, after falling into the "ghost curse", if it is discovered early, it may be

There is salvation, if you wait until the body gradually decays, it will be too late, the "ghost curse" has penetrated into the bone marrow, and the gods are difficult to save.

That's it, the bodies of people who died from the "ghost curse" will turn into living corpses, no wonder Chen Jianqiu said that these eunuchs died at the hands of the Daomen.

Fortunately, the eunuch's corpse had just turned into a living corpse, and although it was hideous and terrifying, it was really not very powerful, and it was soon crushed into a puddle of meat by Chen Jianqiu with his strong and true qi.

Chen Jianqiu looked around the tomb again, and he found that the coffin seemed to have moved, and after pushing the coffin open, he found that there was a tunnel underneath it.

Why are there tunnels in the tombs of eunuchs? Where does that green water come from? What exactly are the people behind the scenes trying to do?

Chen Jianqiu's mind was full of questions, and after thinking about it a few times, he decided to enter the tunnel to investigate.

This tunnel went all the way down, Chen Jianqiu walked about a hundred zhang distance, and his footsteps stopped slightly, at this time, the walls around him began to become damp, and water droplets continued to fall, not only accumulating a small puddle in the corner of the wall, but also causing a lot of moss to grow on the surrounding walls.

Yin and yang are opposite, and water and fire are intolerable. The extreme yang energy can give birth to fire, and the extreme yin energy is to turn into water, and there are water droplets falling here, which shows the strength of the yin energy.

Seeing this scene, although Chen Jianqiu was not afraid, he was also a little more vigilant in his heart.

He continued to walk, not deliberately seeking speed, but at the pace of a normal person's foot, and after walking for about half an hour, he found that the tunnel had become a tomb with a masonry structure, and it seemed that he had entered a large underground tomb.

In addition, Chen Jianqiu also found several bodies that began to ossify

Judging by the degree of decay, it should not have died in the near future, and then look at the clothes on these corpses, which have been badly damaged because of the long time. However, when Chen Jianqiu saw an object that seemed to be a short blade and a giant tooth hanging from the waist of one of them, he understood that the identity of these people should be tomb robbers many years ago, who didn't know how to enter this tomb.

Just as Chen Jianqiu leaned over to check the situation, one of the corpses suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his hands to grab Chen Jianqiu's neck.

In fact, the threat of ordinary living corpses to Chen Jianqiu is not great, because it is not only slow, but also not as steely and iron-clad as zombies, as long as it is a person who knows a little about exorcism methods, it can be completely destroyed, so Chen Jianqiu is not chaotic at all, and while dodging the hands of the living corpse, he smashes the head of the living corpse with one palm.

After losing their heads, the living corpse collapsed to the ground.

Chen Jianqiu looked around and found that there were still some murals on the wall, which was a standing female Bodhisattva, which was somewhat similar to the Bodhisattva seen in the dream of the lord of the country described by Chen Jianqiu, but in addition to the female Bodhisattva, there was also a Buddha sitting on a lotus flower.

Could it be that he guessed wrong, the Blood Bodhisattva actually has nothing to do with the Lingshan Witch Sect, but a certain branch of Buddhism?

Chen Jianqiu thought so and continued to move forward.

After walking a distance of more than 100 zhang like this, a small point of light suddenly appeared at the end of Chen Jianqiu's line of sight, and after walking hundreds of zhang, the point of light became bigger and bigger, and it was actually an exit with light.

Chen Jianqiu's heart moved, and he took out the "too hidden talisman" given to him by Xu Jiaorong to eat

The middle two fingers were clamped, and with a slight shake, the talisman spontaneously combusted without wind, and Chen Jianqiu's figure disappeared without a trace.

Chen Jianqiu, who had hidden his figure, was like a light smoke without a body, floating silently towards the exit of the tomb.
