Chapter 3 Cave Tombs

Li Xuanji sat in the corner of the inn, savoring the sumptuous dishes on the table.

"Don't study that treasure map. Isn't it a waste that you order a table full of dishes and don't eat them?"

"Who said I don't eat it? This girl has lived in the mountains for so long that the smell of birds has faded from her mouth. It's been a long time since I've eaten such a hearty meal outside. I'm just wondering if the map drawn on this hide is real or fake. Eh, don't eat so fast, leave some for me!"

Jin Ning casually folded the animal skin in his hand and put it up, picked up his chopsticks and quickly snatched the food on the table.

"I said, when you just taught that fat man a lesson, I saw you blush when you made up those nonsense!

"What blushing? With our cultivation, we can just force the blood qi on the face, won't the face turn red?" Jin Ning replied casually as he put a plate of spicy meat rolls in front of him with a nonchalant face.

“......”

I just know it's all pretended. Li Xuanji slowly chewed on the food. How could the lawless little witch in the Qingzhu Gate blush?

“...... I heard that Wolong Mountain in the north of our Dragon City is now lively, and a lot of people have died......"

"yes, I've heard that, too. It seems that a group of tomb robbers found a cave there at first, but the group of tomb robbers broke in and almost all of them were wiped out, and only one of the dozens of people escaped. This mysterious ancient cave matter has just been spread. ”

"Well, I've heard someone say that this cave should be the tomb of an ancient powerhouse, with all kinds of treasures and rare magic weapons that cultivators dream of. ”

"I guess that's right. This incident has alarmed many big families, and several of our big families in Dragon City have already poured out, and there are also families from several nearby big cities. The most unbelievable thing is that I heard that there are also people from Pingyang City, the imperial city of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is said that they even brought a map. ”

"The family in the capital is really not comparable to ordinary families. There are maps of such ancient tombs of unknown origin, which shows the depth of those big families. ”

......

Li Xuanji and Jin Ning were still savoring the sumptuous dishes when they heard the other guests in the inn talking about something, and then the whole inn became chaotic and talking about it. It can be seen that this incident is really full of turmoil and boiling in the city.

"Tomb robbery, treasure, can't it really be such a coincidence, right?" Li Xuanji was a little surprised when he heard the discussion of the people around him.

"The fat man surnamed Yu before seems to be someone from the Yu family in the Imperial City. Could it be that this picture is really a treasure map?" Jin Ning took out the animal skin again and swung it around carefully, trying to dig out some secrets from it.

Jin Ning looked at the animal skin over and over again, rolled his eyes, and lowered his head to Li Xuanji and said:

"Senior Brother Xuanji, look at ......"

"Don't even think about it!" Before Jin Ning could say anything, Li Xuanji bluntly refused, "Our mission this time is to go to the Ling family in Pingyang City to repair the spiritual veins for Ling Cangyue, the young lady of the Ling family." I'm still waiting there, and there is no room for delay on the way. Tomb robbery is not a gentleman's doing, and it is so dangerous, so don't get involved. Don't make a fuss about it, just throw that map away. ”

"Oh. Jin Ning's face was full of disappointment, and he secretly reinstalled the map again.

Li Xuanji was small and had a small amount of food, so he was soon full, and he was about to get up, but he suddenly felt a little depressed breath coming.

Turning his head to look for the source of his breath, he saw a few people walking outside the inn.

The four men are armed with short sleeves and short shirts, tall and powerful, and their eyes can make people feel a cold feeling in their hearts, and they are definitely professional warriors with a lot of blood on their hands. Each person carries a treasure knife, and the wide scabbard can be seen that this is definitely a sharp weapon for the main killing!

Among the four men was a young girl, whose face was covered by a red veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. The long black smooth hair is tied all the way to the waist, and the hair is curled up on the head to create a delicate hairstyle, shaped like a flying fairy. The clothes on his body are not gorgeous, but they are meticulously dressed, and he still holds a jade flute in his hand.

The girl walked like a colorful cloud drifting by, without a trace of fireworks, and before going upstairs, her eyes glanced at the lobby of the inn, and her eyes stopped at the table of Li Xuanji and Jin Ning, slightly surprised. It seems that I am surprised that there is such a beautiful girl in such an ordinary place, and there is a teenager with an extraordinary temperament.

The girl paused slightly, then turned and went upstairs with the four men.

"This girl is definitely an extraordinary woman. Li Xuanji whispered.

"yes, yes, she's definitely a pretty woman! I didn't expect you to be so lustful at such a young age!" Hearing Li Xuanji's words, Jin Ning chuckled and teased.

"I didn't mean that! I'm a generation older than you, can you not be so disrespectful when you speak?" Li Xuanji rolled his eyes, "If you are more beautiful, how many women can compare to you?

"Hmph! You're telling the truth. Jin Ning closed her mouth in satisfaction, her fingers playing with her shoulder-hanging hair, not caring about the gazes of the men around her.

Women are really the same! Li Xuanji looked at Jin Ning, who was coaxed by his own words, and thought.

After packing their luggage and settling the food money, Li Xuanji and Jin Ning got up and left.

The Ling family is a big family in Pingyang City, the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Pingyang City is in the northeast of the Dragon City. The journey was far away, and the two of them had to buy two fast horses with spirit beast bloodlines in Dragon City. If you just rely on your legs, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach Pingyang City in three months.

Out of the Dragon City, all the way to the north of the fast horse gallop, on the way to meet a lot of people of all kinds to the north, it seems that they are all running towards the Wolong Mountain. Among them, there are mostly cultivators, but their cultivation is not very high, even if they rush to that cave, they may only be a school of miscellaneous fish in front of those really strong people.

"Senior Brother Xuanji, since we are passing through Wolong Mountain, why don't we also go and join in the fun? It will definitely not take much time. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get some magic weapon out of it. What kind of weapon do you think your purple bamboo staff is? Don't you want to change it? Why don't we go and find you a treasure stick made of divine iron?"

Jin Ning saw all kinds of people going to the ancient tomb to explore and hunt for treasures along the way, and the itching in his heart could no longer be resisted.

“......”

Li Xuanji did not answer. In fact, he himself also wants to explore and find a little excitement. I have lived in Qingzhumen for ten years, and my life has been too dull, how can my young heart be willing to be lonely?

Besides, Jin Ning is right, he should get a weapon at hand. Jin Ning's spirit sword was given by the head of the sect before leaving the mountain, and it was one of the top magic weapons in the Qingzhu Gate. And his purple bamboo cane was also given by his master Nangong Xiuyun, but it is not a magic weapon, it is really a bamboo cane cut from purple bamboo!

There are many purple bamboos in the forbidden place of the ancestral shrine in Houshan, and before he set off, his master Nangong Xiuyun didn't know where to find a mutated purple bamboo to give to his apprentices as weapons. Although this purple bamboo is solid and weighs more than 100 catties, Li Xuanji still despises the master many times. He was so poor that he didn't have a gift for his apprentice, so he said straightforwardly, saying that "God has the virtue of a good life, don't kill or injure" or something like that, who believes it?

Wolong Mountain is located in the north of the dragon city more than 100 miles of place, the mountain is tall and majestic, stretching for dozens of miles. The mountain is full of strange rocks and sparse vegetation, and it can be said to be a huge stone mountain.

The cave, which is suspected to be the tomb of an ancient magnate, is under a cliff at the foot of Wolong Mountain. There is a small stream flowing out of the cave, clear and sweet, the grass and trees outside the cave are luxuriant, the mountain wild flowers and plants bloom romantically, and there are some small birds nesting in it. If it weren't for the gang of tomb robbers who stumbled upon the strangeness of this cave, I'm afraid no one would associate this place with an ancient tomb.

When Li Xuanji and Jin Ning rode to the foot of Wolong Mountain, hundreds of people had gathered here.

Some came on spirit animals, some in luxury carriages, and some on foot.

The originally lonely and desolate mountains suddenly became lively.

"It's her? It's just the two of them! Arrest Young Master Ben! Take back the treasure map!"

As soon as Li Xuanji and Jin Ning got off the horse, they heard someone shouting in the crowd, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be the fat young master Yu Liangcai who had been tricked by the two of them before! This time it was no longer a few idle rich boys around them, but a group of sophisticated guards like wolves and tigers.

Yu Liangcai brought enough guards this time, and he was no longer as timid as a mouse before, but laughed proudly.

"Young Master Ben is really smart, I knew that the two of you would come here as soon as I guessed, so as long as Young Master Ben waited for the rabbit, he would definitely be able to catch the two of you thieves! Quick, arrest the two of them for Young Master Ben! The woman will take them back to the house and wait for Young Master Ben to have fun." The man is beaten into a waste and a beggar for the rest of his life. If you resist, you will be killed!"
