Chapter 146: Twists and turns
Under the already slightly dim skylight, barren smoke and vines, wild hills and chess.
There was a dark hole hidden in the grass at the bottom of the hill, and a strange beast with black and white tiger stripes was lying low on all four paws, and its body had already been half inside, only the rump and tail were still exposed outside the hole.
At this moment, a palm suddenly poked out of the void and grabbed the black and white ponytail.
Immediately afterwards, a young man with a black robe and a silver belt and a sharp knife appeared outside the cave, and it was Qi Jingzhi.
After the Xunjiang incident, he used the spiritual mask to teach Wei Yingdian the strong life volume of the "Immortal Feather Sutra", and the two sides agreed that if Wei Langzhong achieved the backbone in the future, he went to Songling County, Huaide County, Linzhou, and asked him for follow-up methods.
Wei Yingdian also informed him of his mansion in Beijing and the location of the ancestral house in Xunyang County, and strongly invited the young man to go to talk about it when he had time in the future.
As for the strange fishing fleet, it was natural to hand over its steward and the goddess to the temporary care of the lake keeper Otter Gong, and then transfer it to the local county for questioning to see if there were any ill-intentioned people behind it to manipulate and deliberately provoke the fight between Xunyang County and Xunjiang Shuifu, and even sabotage the lake god's plan to ascend the throne and divide Xunjiang.
Qi Jingzhi and Wei Yingdian were limited to their identities, so they naturally did not seek politics in their positions, and did not stay involved in this matter.
After Wei Yingdian memorized the exercises, the two drank by the river, and then abandoned the boat and changed horses, and each went on the road without mentioning it.
After that, Qi Jingzhi did not delay any longer, all the way through the state and county, and went straight to Liaozhou in the East China Sea.
When he traced and hurried, he only saw a horse corpse that had been hollowed out, so he was naturally even more annoyed, and chased him out for a hundred and ten miles, and finally blocked the horse thief at the entrance of this lair.
"What a hindrance, return my horse!"
Qi Jingzhi shouted violently, his feet fell to the ground, and with just a single palm, he dragged the body of the black and white tiger-striped beast out of the hole.
The young man looked at the right hind leg of the strange beast as he dragged it, and there were two blood holes on it and two blood marks that seemed to have been cut by a sharp weapon, and blood was oozing outward.
"Huh? This was discovered red-handed by the owner's family when he was stealing food?"
Qi Jingzhi's thoughts flashed, and he immediately took a step and stood behind the right side of this strange beast.
The black and white tiger-striped beast roared in horror, and immediately wanted to stand up with its low body, but the entrance of the cave was really a little low for it, and its back was almost on the top of the cave, and it couldn't get up for a while.
It became more and more irritable, and wanted to turn back and bite, but its body was squeezed into the narrow cave, and it could not turn back, so it could only let the young man outside the cave drag itself out, and its sharp four claws ploughed in vain deep claw marks inside and outside the cave.
After a brief wrestling, the back half of the black and white tiger-striped beast's body was forcibly pulled out.
At this time, its hind paws were finally unrestrained, and it didn't care about the pain of the wound, and immediately raised its right hind leg and kicked at the boy.
Who knew that Qi Jingzhi was faster than it, and he flew up first and kicked the bloody wound.
"Roar!"
The black-and-white tiger-striped beast staggered in pain, and the roar in its mouth became more and more impatient and ferocious.
It was so angry that it realized the problem, and instead of resisting Qi Jingzhi's drag, it pushed back and pushed back, dusting the outside of the hole.
"Huh? Still not convinced?"
Qi Jingzhi immediately realized the beast's attempt, and kicked it out again: "You are quite capable, this place is not a hundred miles away from the North Gate Post in Zhao'an County, but also eighty miles, you can run over and bite the master's horse, and you really work hard to eat for a bite!"
The black-and-white tiger-striped beast roared in pain, and finally did not dare to act rashly, honestly maintaining the posture of having its head and neck in the hole and most of its body outside the cave, while trying to lower its body and hide its injured right hind leg under it.
"Tell me, how to compensate the master?"
Qi Jingzhi folded his legs and stood up, asking in his mouth, while looking at the fat body of the black and white tiger-striped beast, his eyes
Gradually glowing.
At this moment, he only felt that the palm of his left hand, which was holding the black and white ponytail, suddenly tightened and sank, and his heart immediately moved: "Could it be that this guy is also some kind of evil spirit?"
"No! I asked the post keeper of the North Gate Station, although many livestock, chickens and ducks have been bitten to death in the vicinity recently, but no one has died. Since this guy is quite spiritual, let's teach it a good lesson and let it come up with enough compensation, which can be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment. If you can't get ......."
Qi Jingyi said as he clenched his ponytail tightly and put the small bronze mirror back.
Unexpectedly, the mirror stopped, and a brilliant red gold bead flew out of his arms again, and when it was in the air, it turned around, and then it turned into a red gold knife on its own.
The tiger and the snake even took the initiative to jump out of the red gold knife, circling and flying around the body of the black and white tiger-striped beast.
This strange beast felt it when it landed, as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and its body was lying down hard, and it was even trembling slightly.
There was no ferocity in its roar, but it was close to a whimper.
"Hey, I've just thought about it, and you guys just jumped out and wanted to cut off your beard?"
Qi Jingzhi laughed and scolded, and he had some guesses in his heart about the origin of the cloud snake and mist tiger in the red gold knife, and he couldn't say that he was also a ghost under the knife of the red gold knife.
"The mirror is amazing, but it is not unique, this red gold knife is also a foodie with similar functions. It's just that it seems that the mirror is slightly superior, and I don't let the mirror eat it, so the red gold knife flew out impatiently."
Immediately, Qi Jingzhi shook his head at the Red Gold Knife, and before he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone above his head exclaim: "Red Gold Knife!"
Qi Jingzhi immediately followed the sound and looked up, and saw a green cow emerging from the top of the hill, and two people were sitting on the back of the cow, looking at him condescendingly.
Then, one of the tall and thin young men in red robe and leather armor and holding a spear jumped off the back of the ox, and his eyes widened and he asked, "How can my uncle's red gold knife be in your hand?"
The young man's face was full of anger, and he raised his legs and was about to run down the slope, but suddenly he heard a click, and the earth and rocks on the top of the slope suddenly cracked and collapsed!
Seeing the ground shaking and the smoke and dust rising, not only did the young man himself fall down before he had time to let out an exclamation, but the other person and the ox disappeared in an instant.
Qi Jingzhi was stunned when he saw this, and immediately realized that the young man should be a member of Lao Wei's clan, and somehow appeared on this barren hill, and just happened to trample on the lair of the black and white tiger-striped beast.
He was stunned for a moment, but the ponytail he was holding in his hand suddenly came with a huge force, and the long black and white tenacious hair was either broken from it or torn off the whole root.
The black-and-white tiger-striped beast swooped into the cave with a half-bald ponytail, and burrowed into the cave with great speed.
I don't know how big the nest in the mound is, but the top of the slope has collapsed, and it seems that it has no effect on the cave at the bottom of the mound.
"Suffer! Although this mound is not high, the two men and a cow should not fall to their deaths, but if they enter like this, they will be blocked by the master's house!"
Qi Jingzhi has heard Lao Wei say that the Jiuzhen Wei clan is only a warlock with his golden sword Wei to fill the façade, and there are many children in the family who practice martial arts, but none of them can successfully practice.
Although the strange beast did not harm anyone when it went out to find food, it may not let go of the uninvited guests who broke into its lair.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi's face changed sharply, and he immediately changed Qi Huchan to his left hand without thinking, stretched out his right hand and took off the red gold knife in mid-air, and then raised his legs and bent down, chasing the black and white tiger striped beast into the hole.
In the narrow and low cavern, the young man's eyes lit up with a shimmer of smoke, his vision was not affected by the darkness in the slightest, and the sound of the strange beast running on the ground was heard more clearly in his ears.
The red gold knife took the initiative to glow, and the cloud snake and mist tiger either opened its teeth or danced its claws, flying extremely hard in front of it to explore the way, with this pair of natural enemies, it was expected that the strange beast would not have the courage to have no chance to ambush and sneak attack.
There is only one thing, that is, the deeper Qi Jingzhi goes, the more he feels a certain absurd sense of familiarity in his heart, just because this cave is extremely regular and deep, not at all like a beast dug out with its claws, but it reminds him of the Yongdao of Li Yuan's silver cellar and the stone chamber where the Xunjiang Town Monument is located.
For a moment
Later, when Qi Jingzhi saw the brick wall at the end of the cave that had collapsed with a big hole, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart: "Shouldn't the little master be born with this kind of place?"
Seeing that the Cloud Snake and Mist Tiger had already rushed in first, reflecting the golden streamer inside, the young man clenched the two short knives in his hand and drilled into the hole in the wall without hesitation.
In the process, he thought to himself, "No wonder a good hill would collapse like that!" Hey, no matter how strong the secret rooms and mausoleums under this world are, no matter how hidden they are, they will eventually fall apart and see the light of day again! Oh, the tombs of the former kings, which have been inspected and repaired by the Ministry of Great Qi Rites and the Ministry of Industry for many years, may be longer."
Qi Jingzhi quickly drilled through the brick wall, and saw that the scene inside was not much different from what he thought, a stone coffin was placed in a tomb that was not too big, not only was it extremely solid and heavy at first glance, but the coffin was also carved with strange patterns.
He immediately looked around and saw that there was another door on the opposite wall, which must be connected to the grave road.
At this moment, the door was wide open, and the black and white tiger-striped beast was long gone from the tomb, along with the cloud snake and mist tiger.
Qi Jingzhi shook his head and turned to look at the stone coffin, to be precise, at the lit candlestick on the stone coffin, and at the two figures lying on the stone coffin next to the candlestick.
At first glance, he looked surprised, just because there was neither a tall and thin Wei clansman nor the bearded bull-riding man among these two figures.
Hearing the movement, the two figures at the sarcophagus looked up in the direction of Qi Jingzhi, and the faint candlelight illuminated their appearance.
One was a stout man with a capable and short fight, with a fierce face on his face, and when he looked at Qi Jing, his face was full of horror, and only then did a fierce light emerge from his eyes, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he stared at the red gold knife in the young man's hand.
The other person turned out to be a bald monk in a black monk's robe, in his thirties, his face was much calmer than that of a man in his prime, and there was no malice in his eyes when he looked at Qi Jingzhi, but he was a little shocked and ashamed.
Three people with very different identities met in this dim and secret tomb unexpectedly, which is really too weird.
There was silence in the tomb for a few breaths, and Qi Jingzhi, who was bent on finding people and saving people, pointed to the tomb door opposite with a red gold knife, and asked first, "Where did that big guy go?"
Hearing the question, the stout man immediately reacted.
He coughed, took the initiative to clench his fists, and instead of answering, he asked, "But in front of the friends of the Jiuzhen Wei Clan? I had heard of the name of the Golden Sword Wei a long time ago, but I didn't expect that in addition to Wei Gong, there were such masters as friends among the Wei clan!"
Seeing Qi Jingzhi's brows furrowed, the stout man's face panicked, and he hurriedly added, "That thing jumped over the top of the two of us, and at this moment, I'm afraid it has escaped from the hole at the other end."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi didn't care about talking nonsense with him, the top of the slope collapsed, who knows what the situation was on the other side, naturally it was important to catch up with the previous beast and find the Wei clan.
He raised his leg to bypass the stone coffin, but he was stopped by the stout man's hand.
"Brother Wei, what you are doing is this murderous business, now that we have taken care of each other, you want to leave without saying a word, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules, right?"
The stout man said as he slowly stepped back behind the monk beside him, and at the same time did not forget to pull the sleeve of the monk's coat.
The black-clothed monk hesitated slightly, suddenly stepped forward, raised his hand and pinched a complicated and strange Dharma seal, and at the same time proclaimed a Buddha name that Qi Jingzhi had never heard of: "There is no north wheel in the south, and there is no empty achievement!"
His voice was obviously not loud, but it was like the thunder of a heavenly drum, which shook Qi Jingzhi's ears and buzzed.
The next moment, a crane chirp sounded from the young man's heart, and the sound of the Buddha's horn that invaded his ears was dispersed.
"This black-clothed monk is actually a real cultivator!" Qi Jing's heart was secretly awe-inspiring.
As for the Buddhist cultivation sect, he only knows one Fuya Temple so far, and he really can't identify the origin of the other party from the Dharma seal and the Buddha name.
Qi Jingzhi simply ignored the black-clothed monk, but turned his head to look at the stout man who was obviously the leader, and asked coldly, "Then what do you want
Like?"
The black-clothed monk saw that there was not the slightest abnormality on the young man's face, as if he was unaware of the sound of the heavenly drum and thunder of the other man, his expression immediately became solemn, and he turned his head sideways without hesitation, and shook his head lightly at the stout man.
Seeing this, the stout man also looked awe-inspired, and immediately replied loudly, "Simple! Since you have arrived here, you will naturally have a share! After the coffin is opened later, let's each choose one first, and Brother Wei will pick first! From now on, we will all be friends, and we can rest assured of each other!"
"Oh? I thought they were trying to put me in this coffin!"
Qi Jingzhi's face sank, these two people were digging graves here, and they even wanted to pull themselves into the water, which was really not a good way.
The stout man didn't see it, but laughed out loud.
His face was simmering, and his whole body was full of arrogance, and he said bluntly: "The new generation of Golden Sword Wei is in front of us, we are not sure that we will leave Brother Wei here!" But as you must have seen, this mage who supports the Great Black God of the North also has an amazing art career, so we have no choice but to make money today!"
After that, the stout man didn't seem to be worried that Qi Jingzhi would refuse, so he turned his head and glanced at the black-clothed monk. Z.br>
The monk took a deep look at Qi Jing, but without waiting for him to speak, he immediately turned around to face the stone coffin without hesitation, casting a spell seal in his hand and thundering on his tongue.
"Huh! The big black god, guarding the north, three sides and six arms, five eyes are angry, the heavenly drum thunder, the vigilance of the crowd, the red flames all over the body, burning like a robbery fire, eating filth and evil, destroying evil turbidity! The disciple sincerely praises, there is no special place in the south and the north, King Vajra Yaksha!"
