"Wait."

Just as Elder Tang was about to go down to the mausoleum, Patriarch Xie stopped him with a loud voice.

Elder Tang turned around, only to hear Patriarch Xie say softly, "I suggest that Yi Nian be at the forefront. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Patriarch Xie.

With Patriarch Xie's city, even if he doesn't like Xie Yinian anymore, it is impossible to target Xie Yinian clearly, so Patriarch Xie gave a good reason: "Yinian has the protection of the Courage Sword and the Xuanhei Law Ring, even if he encounters that ghost protector head-on, his life will not be in danger." I know that Elder Tang also has life-saving means, but your life-saving means are afraid that they are one-off, so it is better to stay them at critical moments. ”

Elder Tang frowned.

Patriarch Xie is reasonable, but Xie Yinian is a junior.

Let a junior be at the forefront......

He really can't do this kind of thing.

Without waiting for Elder Tang to refuse, Xie Yinian smiled lightly: "This is indeed the truth. I'll be at the front. ”

After that, Xie Yinian crossed Elder Tang and came to the forefront of the team.

Elder Tang thought about it for a moment or two, but still acquiesced to this arrangement, stood in the second place, and said to Patriarch Xie, "You stand in the third place." ”

"Okay." Patriarch Xie handed an oil lamp to Xie Yinian, "Take it, you go to the front, you must pay attention to whether the oil lamp is extinguished at any time to prevent lack of oxygen." ”

Xie Yinian knew this reason, and received the flashlight in his bag, carrying the oil lamp.

The flames in the oil lamp danced softly, emitting an ominous light.

Yao Rong's strength is the weakest, and he is arranged in the middle.

Entering the mausoleum, the already dim environment became more and more dull, except for the footsteps and breathing of everyone, only Elder Tang's voice was echoing, constantly pointing out the direction of progress to everyone.

It is no coincidence that the Tang Elders will be selected as the person in charge of this operation, the Tang family is a Heavenly Master family, but they were also famous tomb robbers on the Dao.

Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang family has changed from tomb robbery to archaeology, but the craftsmanship handed down by the ancestors has never been lost. Especially Elder Tang, who is the head of the family, is even more true.

It's just that after walking in with everyone for a while, Elder Tang couldn't help but stop, looked at the tunnel carefully, and said, "Something is wrong." ”

"This mausoleum has been visited by tomb robbers."

Someone asked, "Can you determine the approximate time?" ”

"Within thirty years." Elder Tang affirmed, "A digging tool used by that gang of tomb robbers only appeared around 1990. ”

A female celestial master surnamed Ji said, "Could it be Xie Zhou and them?" They found this mausoleum in the underworld and decided to explore the mausoleum, but they accidentally woke up a thousand-year-old ghost and died tragically in the underworld......

"No, Xie Zhou's bones were found outside." Yao Rongqing's cold and flat voice came from the middle section, "And they came to arrest the evil ghosts at that time, and they brought all magic weapons, and they didn't carry any tomb robbery tools." ”

Ji Tianshi nodded: "Then this group of tomb robbers should have formed and advanced in the Yin Land...... Calculate the time, maybe the appearance of the Evil Land has something to do with this group of tomb robbers......"

Everyone agreed with Ji Tianshi's guess, but only Xie Zuo glanced at Patriarch Xie without a trace.

He and Patriarch Xie are brothers, and they still have a certain understanding of Patriarch Xie's whereabouts, more than ten years ago......

Patriarch Xie still had a gentle smile on his face, and only glanced at Xie Zuo with a slight warning.

Xie Zuo blinked his eyes slightly, but did not say a word.

Elder Tang carefully inspected it for a long time, but found nothing except those traces of tomb robbery.

There was no longer any longer time to lose, and Elder Tang said, "When I leave this place, I will send someone to investigate on the road to see if anyone has sold the burial goods of the Western Zhou Dynasty more than ten years ago." Now let's go deeper. ”

Elder Tang led everyone to avoid several mechanisms without danger, and went deeper into the center of the mausoleum from the periphery of the mausoleum.

It's just that, until now, the crisis has come from the mausoleum itself, not from the ghosts.

This feeling of confusion made everyone more and more cautious.

"The tunnel ahead has widened." Xie Yinian, who was at the forefront, spoke.

Walking out of this narrow, one-person tunnel, everyone's vision suddenly widened.

Ahead is a straight and deep road, with four rooms on either side of the road.

The door to the room was several meters high, and the lines on it were intricate, as if carved into the shape of some kind of strange beast.

Elder Tang didn't choose to go deeper, but stood in front of one of the doors and asked Heavenly Master Ji, "Can you recognize what kind of pattern this is?" ”

The surname Ji is the surname of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The Ji family, one of the top ten families, is a descendant of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After confirming that this mausoleum belonged to the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Tianshi was sent to D City by the Heavenly Master League.

Ji Tianshi leaned closer and carefully examined the lines on it. The others gathered around them, holding their weapons on guard.

After a long while, Ji Tianshi said, "This pattern is a sacrificial rune commonly used by ancient witches. You see, it doesn't look like a unicorn. ”

"Indeed, it's really a unicorn." Elder Tang was surprised, "Qilin is auspicious, could this door be a room used to place burial goods?" ”

"No, you can't go in." Ji Tianshi shook his head with a solemn expression, "The function of this rune is to seal. In ancient times, there were demons and ghosts, and in order to deal with demons and ghosts, the Great Witch created a sealing rune based on the four divine beasts. Although I don't know exactly what's in the room, there is no doubt that what is sealed inside is a big culprit. ”

"The Great Murderous Thing!?" Everyone's hearts were covered with a shadow.

The ghost protectors and ghosts alone made them anxious, how terrible is this great thing that has been sealed by the ancient witch for more than 2,000 years?

"Our purpose is to solve the ghost protector and the ghost snake, and don't make any extraneous branches for the time being." Elder Tang immediately made a decision and asked Heavenly Master Ji, "In other words, we can only continue along this path now?" ”

Ji Tianshi nodded.

"Let's go!" As soon as Elder Tang spoke, everyone continued to move forward according to the queue of Fang Cai.

But an hour later, the crowd was back where they were.

Looking at the identical doors in front of him, Elder Tang had a headache and said, "Could it be that the ghost hit the wall?" ”

They didn't even recognize the ghost hitting the wall, Ji Tianshi said, "No. This passage is a circular passage, and no matter how much we go, we can only walk back to the original point. ”

Hearing Ji Tianshi's explanation, Elder Tang had an even more headache.

He'd rather encounter a ghost hitting the wall.

At the moment, this passage could not be walked, and if they wanted to continue deeper into the mausoleum, they could only push open the doors engraved with sealing runes.

The others had apparently thought of this as well, and for a moment, the atmosphere froze.

Patriarch Xie had nothing to do, so he simply held a flashlight to patrol the ground.

"Huh-" Patriarch Xie suddenly squatted down and touched the dirt in front of the door on the far left, "You see, there seems to be old blood stains here." ”

"It's bloodstains, it's been some years." Elder Tang said, "Could these bloodstains be left by that group of tomb robbers?" ”

Patriarch Xie said: "It should be." ”

Elder Tang regained his strengths and asked Ji Tianshi to inspect these doors again to see if there were any traces of the seal being broken.

Ji Tianshi became more and more patient, and after about half an hour, she said, "The seals of the other three doors have not been broken, but the seals on the bloodstained doors are indeed incomplete. ”

Elder Tang said happily, "It seems that the gang of tomb robbers entered this room. ”

Patriarch Xie also had a smile on his face: "It must have been that group of people who destroyed the sealing rune, causing the ghost protector sealed inside to be released." ”

Ji Tianshi said: "If we find the hiding place of the ghost protector, let's go in." ”

"Okay." Several of the most senior Heavenly Masters reached a consensus.

Xie Yinian glanced back at Yao Rong and saw that Yao Rong's expression was not different, so he stretched out his hand and tried to push the door of the room open.

Behind the door is a passageway.

The people walked along this passage and came to the main tomb.

On both sides of the main tomb, the ever-bright lanterns burn faintly, illuminating the four directions, welcoming these uninvited guests.

The red coffin stands quietly on the stone steps, and the ornate burial goods symbolize the identity and power of the mausoleum's owner.

People are born unequal, and this is true after death.

Just when Xie Yinian was carrying an oil lamp and was about to walk up the steps to check the funeral goods, his vision suddenly fell into darkness.

A fishy and violent aura came to his face, and countless terrible screams almost pierced Xie Yinian's eardrums, and even his divine soul was shaken, and the Xuanhei Magic Ring automatically activated the protective shield, buying Xie Yinian the most critical time.

The sword was instantly unsheathed.

Xie Yinian couldn't see the ghost, but it didn't affect him to swing his sword forward.

Wherever the blade of the Gallant Sword passed, those terrible screams turned into wails before death.

When Xie Yinian's vision returned to light, he looked back and saw that everyone was in a state of hard fighting.

The ghosts fighting against them are the weakest and the ghost servant level, and the ghost protector doesn't know where to hide.

Xie Yinian did not go over to help the others, but took three steps and two steps, quickly came to the top of the steps, and carefully examined the funeral goods.

Most of the funerary goods were utensils, and Xie Yinian also saw several pairs of armor and a column of weapons, but strangely, next to the red coffin, there was also a dresser that was still immortal after two thousand years.

The owner of this mausoleum is obviously a man, how could he choose a dresser as his funeral goods?

Xie Yinian was vigilant, and stepped forward lightly with the sword in his hand.

Finally, by the faint light of the oil lamp, he could see the mirror.

In the mirror, which was polished to an extraordinarily smooth surface, a woman in a wedding dress stayed in the mirror, looking at him with tears and complaints.

The next moment, the woman in the wedding dress walked out of the mirror.

She was barefoot, her momentum was rising, and the bell rang step by step.

The rapid sound of the bell seemed to be the key to open the ghost door, and countless souls sleeping in the funeral goods were awakened, and they flocked to Xie Yinian from all directions, surrounding him.

Xie Yinian suddenly changed color.

Tang Tianshi, who was struggling with the ghost attendants, looked in the direction of the steps in shock, because he was so shocked that he almost had his arm torn.

Ji Tianshi slashed back the ghost attendant in front of him with a sword, and the corners of his lips trembled slightly: "How can it be ......?"

The Xie family elder clutched his chest and spit out a mouthful of black blood, but he didn't care about his injuries and exclaimed, "How could this ghost be promoted from the Ghost Protector to the Ghost King in such a short period of time!?" ”

Xie Zuo was heartbroken, and subconsciously shouted "big brother", but he didn't get a response.

At this moment, a red wedding dress fell into the eyes of everyone.

"It's a ghost bride!?"

"Damn, this ghost protector must be the bride of the mausoleum's owner."

As the bride of the owner of the mausoleum, this female ghost is naturally the owner of the mausoleum, and the ghosts in the mausoleum are all controlled by her.

Although the strength of this female ghost is only to protect the Dharma, as long as she is in the mausoleum, this female ghost can use this to raise her strength to the level of the ghost king.

Thinking of this, Elder Tang and the others all felt tricky.

Xie Yinian, who was surrounded by ghosts and faced the ghost bride, didn't even have time to think at this time. He held the sword of the bladder, and almost every swing of the sword was subconscious.

He swung his sword faster and faster, but tiredness spread over him like a tidal wave.

In a trance, Xie Yinian saw the ghost bride's lips move.

Her ears were filled with the screams of ghosts, and Xie Yinian could barely tell from the shape of her mouth, what she said seemed to be......

Hairpins?

Xie Yinian pounced in front of the dresser, and in the face of the ghost bride's sudden intensification of attack, he rummaged through all the things placed on the dresser.

There is everything, but there is no hairpin.

What does this hairpin mean to her?

And who took her hairpin!

The ghost bride was enraged by Xie Yinian's actions.

Her long waist-length hair grew rapidly, and the bell at her ankles became more and more urgent, like a urging voice: "Give my hairpin back!" ”

His hair wrapped around Xie Yinian's ankles, knocking him to the ground, the oil lamp shattered, and the kerosene contained in it wet Xie Yinian's sleeve.

Xie Yinian supported the ground with his right hand, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but his finger was stabbed by a thin wire.

He looked down.

How can there be a gold wire in an oil lamp?

Xie Yinian only had time to put the filament into his arms, rolled on the spot, and slashed at his hair.

The hair was extremely tough, and he couldn't even cut it off at once, but Xie Yinian himself was shocked by that force.

Xie Yinian simply bit his arm, sprinkled blood on the sword, and finally succeeded in getting out of trouble.

Before he could stand firm, he was pushed down the steps.

The ghost bride flew in with the powerful ghosts she had summoned.

The Heavenly Masters who were still barely able to support themselves instantly fell into a bitter battle, even if the main opponent of the ghost bride was Xie Yinian, but once in a while, they were a little unbearable.

"It can't go on like this." Patriarch Xie shouted, "Keep staying here, when our spiritual power is exhausted, we will die." Let's retreat! ”

Elder Tang also had the intention of retreating, and he shouted to everyone, "Retreat quickly!" ”

All the cards were out and they retreated.

Elder Tang was in charge of the queen of the hall.

Seeing that most of the people had retreated, and Xie Yinian was still fighting with the ghost bride in place, Elder Tang shouted, "Xie Yinian, quickly retreat!" ”

Xie Yinian smiled bitterly.

He wanted to withdraw, but for some reason, the ghost bride recognized him.

In the ghost bride's ghost, as long as the ghost bride doesn't let him leave, he can't leave at all.

"Give my hairpin back!" The ghost bride was repeating the phrase again.

Xie Yinian had a splitting headache, and when he covered his chest and vomited blood, he touched the hard gold wire again.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind—

hairpin...... Gold Wire ...... Oil lamp......

Could it be that this golden wire was removed from the hairpin, so the ghost bride would recognize him!?

The golden thread was hidden in the oil lamp, and the oil lamp was given to him by Patriarch Xie, and it was also Patriarch Xie who suggested that he be the first in line.

Is this a coincidence?

No, he was more inclined to have Patriarch Xie do it on purpose than by coincidence.

The golden silk was hidden in the oil lamp by Patriarch Xie, and Patriarch Xie knew that the ghost bride was obsessed with this hairpin.

But how could he possibly know?

Unless he has something to do with the grave robbers!

It is even quite possible that he went down to this mausoleum with the gang of tomb robbers!

Xie Yinian felt that he had touched the truth of the year.

If you want to escape the ghost bride, the best way is to throw away this golden wire.

But once the golden thread is lost, how can it be proved that Patriarch Xie deliberately framed him?

Moreover, he has long been contaminated with the breath of gold thread, and this ghost bride is afraid that it will be difficult to let him go.

So......

Xie Yinian shouted: "Mom! ”

Mom, if you don't make a move, I won't be able to bear it!

Elder Tang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he could see that Xie Yinian didn't want to leave, but was just entangled by the ghost bride.

Elder Tang gritted his teeth, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards Xie Yinian.

However, Yao Rong's speed was faster than him.

"No—"

Elder Tang roared, almost thinking that Yao Rong was going to die at the hands of the ghost bride, but the next moment, Elder Tang's eyes widened in shock.

The black long sword that appeared out of thin air in Yao Rong's hand seemed to be a little familiar.

Before Elder Tang could remember, he saw Yao Rong's sword tip, and the ghost bride was cut down by Yao Rong.

Then, just like Xie Yinian was chased and killed just now, the ghost bride Gollum rolled out all of a sudden.

Elder Tang: Oops, my memory is too good, what should I do if I suddenly remember!

On the other side, after Patriarch Xie and his party withdrew from the main tomb, they were not safe immediately.

Demons poured out of the passage and pursued them.

The group of Heavenly Masters fought and retreated, and finally successfully exited the mausoleum.

The yin qi covered the sky and the sun, successfully blocking their sense of direction, and everyone didn't have time to find the direction, so they picked a direction to run at random, and the farther away from the mausoleum, the better.

After running for a full ten minutes, the crowd stopped and formed a formation to kill the ghosts that caught up.

escaped death, and everyone was so tired that they were dizzy.

Ji Tianshi looked around: "Elder Tang hasn't come out yet?" ”

Another humanitarian: "Yao Rong and Xie Yinian didn't come out either." ”

A trace of worry appeared on Ji Tianshi's face.

Patriarch Xie looked inexplicable: "Xie Yinian has a gallant sword, and he is the most likely person to escape from the hands of the ghost king." ”

Ji Tianshi sighed: "I hope they can escape, and Xie Yinian can also seriously injure the ghost bride and stop the ghost snake from continuing to expand." ”

Xie Zuo suddenly said, "Wait, what do you see in front of you?" ”

Everyone looked in the direction Xie Zuo's finger pointed.

There were shadows ahead, and there seemed to be a lot of wooden planks standing up.

"It seems to be...... Tombstone? ”

The tombstone was not far from the crowd, and they simply stepped forward and looked carefully at the names engraved on the tombstone.

"The Tomb of Xie Jian, the Tomb of Xie Lin, the Tomb of Xie Bin......"

"It's the name of the Xie family who died in the underworld."

"These should be Yao Rongli's, she collected the bones of the Xie family, buried them here, and set up tombstones for them all by the way."

Everyone pieced together the truth of the matter in a few words.

"Wait—" someone's teeth suddenly began to chatter, "Come and see, whose tomb does this tomb in the middle belong to?" ”

Ji Tianshi walked over and looked at it, and glanced at the other party: "Isn't it written on this, this is ......?"

Halfway through his words, Ji Tianshi's face turned pale in an instant.

I saw a line of vertical words engraved on the tombstone in the middle -

【Tomb of Xie Zhou and Yao Rong】

"How is this possible!"

Yao Rong ...... He's dead!? ”

"If this is Yao Rong's grave, then who is Yao Rong who has been with us before?"

Their profession can be regarded as dealing with ghosts all year round, but at this time, a thought still can't help but rise in everyone's hearts:

Hunting eagles all day long but being pecked in the eyes by eagles, help, hell they are !! ：，，
