Chapter 255: Exquisite Ancient City, Fifty Years Later
Half a year later, in the depths of the Western Regions, the endless desert was like a vast sea, and in comparison, Xu Luo flying in the sky was as small as a flat boat.
He looked at the broken wall below, compared the location of the treasure map in his hand, and determined that this was it.
This is the former site of the exquisite ancient city capital.
Xu Luo controls the royal zombies to land on the ground.
At this moment, the bamboo cage on his back suddenly caught fire, and in a blink of an eye, it burned to ashes, and then accompanied by a phoenix chirp, the colorful bird flew into the sky, and its size became larger and larger, and soon it was like a house, dragging its long tail feathers to soar around.
"Qiang-"
Xu Luo looked up at the angry chicken in the sky, listening to the cry that was completely different from the rooster's crow, and knew that this was a complete success in transforming the phoenix, and it was really the old lady who was protecting him, otherwise how could it be so coincidental? As soon as he found the Exquisite Ancient City, the Nuqing Chicken succeeded in turning into a phoenix.
Watching the phoenix fly farther and farther, the smile on Xu Luo's face gradually solidified,, won't you run?
Just as he was about to catch up, the phoenix flew back, shrunk in size and circled around him like a goshawk, and then shrunk again to the size of a parrot, and landed on his shoulder.
"In the future, you can't call Nuqing Chicken, just call Nu Nu." Xu Luo looked at the brand-new Nuqing Chicken on his shoulder and said, at this moment, the feathers on its body were exuding colorful brilliance, noble and gorgeous, which was fascinating.
Ah angrily shouted twice: "Qiang~"
"Let's go." Xu Luo took the Angry Qing Chicken to use the earth to escape and shuttle underground, directly dodging the many mechanisms and came to the main burial chamber where the Absolute Queen was buried.
The entrance to the main burial chamber is a cliff, and below the cliff is a bottomless black hole.
Even Xu Luo couldn't see what was below, there was a small but long cliff above the black hole, and there was a coffin tied to the cliff, and there was a strange flower next to the coffin.
"Corpse incense konjac, Kunlun Divine Tree."
Xu Luo instantly recognized these two things, both of which could ensure that the corpse would not decay, and the fragrance emitted by the corpse incense konjac when it bloomed could also make people hallucinate.
He flew up the cliff with a light skill, and when he opened the coffin, there was a female corpse lying inside, even if she was dead, she was still plump and beautiful, and the mask on her face was unveiled to reveal a beautiful face.
She looked serene, as if she had just fallen asleep.
This is the last queen of the Elite Kingdom.
Xu Luo moved her out of the coffin, and then flew to the cliff where she had just landed, stripping her clothes layer by layer, revealing a carcass with fair skin that seemed to be broken by blowing, but it was a little cold to the touch.
Xu Luo opened the altar to control the corpse of the Absolute Queen by controlling the royal zombies, painted talismans all over him, and cast a spell to refine her into a zombie controlled by himself, perhaps because the Absolute Queen was a cultivator during her lifetime, and after the corpse was transformed, she was directly a silver armor corpse, and her evil spirit was surging.
It can be seen that she did not kill less during her lifetime, and according to some scattered records, she was a tyrant.
After refining it into a zombie, Xu Luo gave her an injection, which was a potion prepared by the French to mutate zombies. The Frenchman scientist was bitten to death by a zombie during an experiment last year, and the potion he left behind was taken by Xu Luo.
It's all in stock, and there are only five left.
After the injection, Xu Luo put her back in the coffin, and then placed forty bronze armored corpses on the cliff wall on a path leading to the cliff where the coffin of the Absolute Queen was located, and gave the zombies an order to kill them immediately if anyone came in.
These zombies are there to protect him.
After all, although this place is secluded enough, if someone enters, one silver-armored corpse and forty copper-armored corpses will be enough to kill each other.
What's more, there's a phoenix there.
If this configuration can't handle the intruder, then it proves that God wants him to die.
After making these arrangements, Xu Luo flew to the opposite cliff to open up a platform, and then took out the royal zombies, demon pills, phoenix blood, and coffin fungi.
Then he sat down cross-legged, and according to the method in "Soul Transference", the soul went out of the body and entered the body of the royal zombie, as soon as he entered, he felt a strong repulsion, and the soul could not stay in it for too long.
He hurriedly controlled the body of the royal zombie and took the phoenix blood, demon pill, and coffin fungus, these three things were swallowed, and the sense of rejection was suddenly reduced a lot.
Xu Luo could feel that his soul was merging with the royal zombies, and gradually lost consciousness, and before he was about to fall into a deep sleep, he put his body into the space, so as not to rot when he woke up.
"Qiang Qiang~"
Seeing Xu Luo fall into a deep sleep, the phoenix also flapped its wings and flew to the coffin on the cliff and fell asleep.
…………………
Time flies like a white horse, 1987.
After fifty years, the tomb of the Absolute Queen has once again entered the living people, this time by an archaeological team.
"Mom! Lao Hu! That's a lot of gold! ”
The group crossed the underground river, entered a tomb, and looked at the gold and silver treasures and various antiques piled up on the ground, and the fat man's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.
Hu Bayi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He and the fat man took Shirley Yang's money to be the leader of this archaeological team, and the search for the exquisite ancient city was not for archaeology, the two of them were just here to rob the tomb.
How much is this gold and silver worth?
"Xiaohu, every piece here is a priceless treasure, it is an antique, you ask everyone to pay attention, don't step on it." Professor Chen instructed Hu Bayi.
"yes, okay." Hu Bayi nodded and said to everyone: "I heard it, pay attention." ”
"Come, Chu Jian, take a picture for me." The fat man sat on a pile of gold coins and said to a member of the archaeological team with a camera, nominally to take pictures, but in fact he was quietly stuffing the gold coins into his pocket.
But Shirley Young, with curly hair and a leather jacket, paired with jeans and short boots, saw his little movements and scolded: "Fatty, what are you doing? ”
In an instant, everyone looked at the fat man.
"It's not...... What didn't I do? The fat man spread his hands and had an innocent expression on his face.
Shirley Yang said lightly: "I've seen it all, take out the things in your pocket." ”
"This ......" the fat man looked at Hu Bayi for help.
Hu Ba pretended to cough, and said seriously: "Look at what I'm doing, fatty, it's not me talking about you, you shouldn't be right, all the antiques here are cultural relics, how can you be greedy?" Hurry up, take it out, and be obedient. ”
"You! You can do it! The fat man pointed at him through gritted teeth, and then took out all the gold coins.
Suddenly, Chu Jian said: "There is a bright light ahead. ”
"Let's go ahead and have a look." Professor Chen couldn't wait to lead everyone to follow the light.
The fat man fell behind, grabbed Hu Bayi's arm and whispered: "You were stunned by that ugly girl, I don't know what we're here for, right?" It's to make money! It's for the money! ”
The ugly girl in his mouth is Shirley Yang, and Shirley Yang is an ugly Chinese who sponsored this archaeology.
"You're in a hurry, how can we take it when everyone is watching?" Hu Bayi said in a low voice: "We'll come secretly after we go back, huh?" Got it? ”
"Oh, you're still cunning." Wang Fatzi suddenly realized, pointed at Hu Bayi and praised.
Shirley Yang glanced back: "What are you two muttering, hurry up and follow." ”
"It's coming, it's coming." Hu Bayi replied.
The group walked along the bright light, through a stone door, to a cliff, and below was the bottomless abyss, which frightened everyone and hurriedly retreated.
"Look, everyone! There's a guy on the other side! Shirley Young pointed to the platform carved out of the cliff face opposite, and the others looked and saw a man sitting cross-legged on it, covered in cobwebs and dust.
Wang Fatzi looked down at the bottomless abyss under his feet and said, "My mother! How did he get there? It can't just fly over. ”
After saying that, he looked around and tried to find his way, and suddenly yelled: "! Look at that! ”
Everyone turned their heads to look up at the same time, only to find that there was a cliff extending overhead, and at the end of the cliff there was a strange flower and a coffin.
However, this is not the key, the key is that there is a colorful bird lying on the coffin, with long tail feathers flicking around, and there is a faint flash of sunset.
"Feng ...... Phoenix! Professor Chen blurted out.
Everyone else was dumbfounded, and they all stood staring at the phoenix on the spot, shouldn't this just be a legendary creature? It actually appeared!
Everyone was blown away.
"Qiang-"
At this moment, the phoenix lying on the coffin opened its eyes, and with a phoenix chirp, it flew high, hovering above the abyss, and at the same time, the Exquisite Queen flew out of the coffin, and forty bronze armored corpses on the edge of the cliff also flew out, surrounding Hu Bayi and others.
"This ...... What is the situation! ”
"! How can they fly? ”
"Is this a dead man or a living man?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was frightened stupid, and their speech became stumbling, and they kept retreating.
"These seem to be zombies, everyone run!"
Phoenix, zombie, everything that happens in front of them has completely subverted their previous worldview.
The people in the tomb did not find that the storm outside the tomb had changed abruptly, and the sun was still hanging in the sky, but now it was cloudy.
Lightning and thunder roared in the dark clouds, and the wind howled.
It's like there's a peerless demon coming out.
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt fell from the sky, piercing the ground and falling into the Queen's Tomb to hit the royal zombies.
And the zombies who originally surrounded Hu Bayi and others knelt down in the void to face the royal zombies after this scene, as if they were worshipping the corpse king.
"This, this, this...... What's going on here? ”
Looking at this strange and magical scene, curiosity overcame fear, and Hu Bayi and the others stood at the entrance and watched this scene, and no one left.
"! Look that guy woke up too! ”
Suddenly, Wang Fatzi shouted, and he pointed to the royal zombies on the opposite cliff platform.
"Boom!"
Then another thunderbolt fell, and the royal zombie, or Xu Luo, directly held the thunder with one hand and swallowed it into his abdomen, and then burped.
How could the Thunder Spirit Corpse be afraid of lightning strikes.
What's more, it is a thunder spirit corpse that has been promoted to a flying corpse.
A few more thunderbolts slashed down, and in the shocked eyes of Hu Bayi and others, Xu Luo swallowed all the heavenly thunder that fell, until there was no thunder and no more thunder.
At this moment, the dark clouds outside the tomb have dispersed and the clear sky has been restored, the flying corpse was born, and the sky has fallen into the sky, God has done his duty, but who made this flying corpse an insulator.
Xu Luo's body suddenly dispersed, turned into a ball of corpse qi and disappeared, and then condensed into a human form in front of Hu Bayi and others, but this time the face of the royal zombie had become his own face.
He doesn't like to live in front of other people's faces.
"You...... You, you, you......"
Looking at Xu Luo's handsome face, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, who were already shocked, widened their eyes again, pointing at him and stammering speechless.
"You know me?" Xu Luo asked, and the phoenix landed on his hand, and he gently stroked the bird.
Hu Bayi swallowed his saliva, he was speechless, he could only take out a pocket watch from his arms with trembling hands, and then opened it, there was a photo on the case, the photo was a photo of Xu Luo and another man in a long shirt, the man in a long shirt was his grandfather.
That's why he's just having a hellish look on his face now.
"Come to my senses, when I passed by Xiangxi, a fortune teller named Hu Guohua took this photo with me, are you his son?" Xu Luo didn't expect to wake up and see the old man.
Hu Guohua's son didn't tell his fortune and changed to tomb robbery?
Hu Bayi pursed his lips, looked at Xu Luo with horror in his eyes and said, "That'...... That was my grandfather. ”
This photo was passed down by his grandfather with half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", saying that the person who took the photo with him was likely to be the reincarnation of the gods and could keep future generations safe, he scoffed, but because it was the only photo of his grandfather, he kept it with him.
But now he took his grandfather's word for it......
And Professor Chen and the others have already been numb, which means that the young man in front of him who swallowed thunder is at least from the late Qing Dynasty, but he is still so young.
Could it be that he is really an immortal?
But since even the phoenix is there, it doesn't seem unacceptable for another immortal to appear.
This archaeological ...... What a harvest!
"Your grandfather?" Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hu Bayi and asked, "What year is it now?" ”
“1987。” Hu Bayi replied briefly.
Xu Luo didn't expect that it would take him fifty years to transform his corpse, so are Ren Tingting still alive?
"You...... Are you really Grandpa Xu? At this moment, Shirley Yang next to her spoke in a trembling voice.
Hearing the title of "Grandpa Xu", Hu Bayi, Professor Chen and others looked at her in disbelief.
Could it be that she is still a relative of this immortal?
Xu Luo also raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you ......?"
"Partridge Whistle is my maternal grandfather, I have seen your group photo, at that time you were a warlord in western Guangdong, and he was working under you." Shirley Yang was emotional, and as she spoke, she opened the satchel on her body and pulled out an old photo from a notebook, on which Xu Luo was wearing a military uniform with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and next to him was an expressionless partridge whistle and an old foreigner with a bright smile.
Seeing this photo, the memories of the past suddenly came to his heart, Xu Luo's eyes were a little nostalgic, this photo was taken when Bottle Mountain and Partridge Whistle were separated.
"Is your grandfather okay?" Xu Luo stretched out his hand to take the photo, and asked with his thumb rubbing lightly.
Shirley Yang's mood suddenly became a little lower, pursed her red lips and said: "The curse on his body occurred many years ago, and he has passed away. ”
Xu Luo sighed, he could think that Partridge Whistle must have gone to Caojia Town to find him, but it was a pity that Hua Ling went to Hong Kong Island at that time, and he also came to the Western Regions.
There's no chance of seeing each other again after missing it.
"You have a curse on you too?" Xu Luo asked.
Shirley Yang nodded: "Well, our clan has been born since birth, and no one can escape." ”
"Hold your hand out." Xu Luo looked at her.
Shirley Yang obediently stretched out her hand.
Xu Luo held her hand, and a wisp of corpse qi burrowed into her body, and found that her blood contained a strange poison, and this was the so-called curse of their clan, a poison that could be passed down from generation to generation.
As they age, their blood changes to gold, and when it turns completely golden, they die.
Xu Luo controlled the corpse qi to force out all the toxins contained in her blood, and her fingertips began to drip black blood out, falling to the ground and splashing.
"Okay, the curse in your body has been lifted by me." Xu Luo let go of her hand and said, after becoming a flying corpse, he is equivalent to an immortal, with all kinds of magical means, which is pediatric for him.
"Really?" Shirley Yang was incredulous, and then hurriedly put her hand into her clothes and touched the back of her shoulder, and she couldn't feel the slightly raised curse mark at all, and she was immediately overjoyed, and almost cried on the spot: "Thank you Grandpa Xu for saving your life!" ”
The curse was like a talisman that kept her on her toes, and now the nightmare was finally far away from her.
"Don't talk about a grandfather, it's awkward to call me, call me Xu Luo, or call me Brother Luo." Although Xu Luo is already more than a hundred years old in terms of age, he will always be eighteen years old mentally!
Men to death are teenagers!
And he doesn't care about seniority or anything.
"Xu Luo!" Wang Fatzi blurted out, suddenly pointed at Xu Luo excitedly, looked at Hu Bayi and said, "Xu Luo! The founder of the Western Guangdong Army! Xu Dashuai, don't hide it, I'm also your soldier! ”
With Wang Fatzi's chatter, Xu Luo knew that Fang Zibao later led the army to participate in the war, and a series of heroic deeds, but Fang Zibao made countless meritorious contributions but never greedy for merit, but said to the outside world that the Western Guangdong Army was created by Xu Luo, so although there was no photo of Xu Luo, Xu Luo's name was passed down from generation to generation.
He is the founder of the entire Western Guangdong Army.
And Wang Fatzi and Hu Bayi served in a unit after the reorganization of the Western Guangdong Army.
"I didn't expect to wake up and meet all acquaintances." Looking at the excited Wang Fatzi, Xu Luo smiled dumbly and asked, "Is Fang Zibao okay?" ”
"General Fang was killed in a later battle to defend the city." Wang Fatzi replied respectfully.
The smile on Xu Luo's face disappeared, and he sighed a little abruptly, the vicissitudes of life, things are not people.
The only thing that can remain unchanged may be yourself.
