Chapter Seventy-Eight: Here You Go
This old man is the wild warlock that Qian You said?
He seemed to see that Zhong Li was also a warlock, so he must have known that Zhong Li was Si Tianjian's person. After all, wild warlocks are like giant pandas, extremely rare, and it is impossible for two of them to appear near Xiangcheng at the same time.
Xu Qi'an thought secretly.
"The owner of this tomb is not simple, hehe, it's not good to see something that shouldn't be seen. This is the old man's experience in digging graves for many years, and your warlocks in the Heavenly Prison disdain to do this kind of work, and lack some experience. Ram Su laughed.
The Warlock of the Heavenly Prison?!
The members of the Houtu Gang looked at Zhong Li, their faces full of astonishment, as if they were shocked.
It turned out that she was a real person who didn't show her face, and she turned out to be a warlock of Si Tianjian......... Sure enough, this kind of silent character is often one of the core characters.
The sick man said in his heart.
He looked at Xu Qi'an again, and felt more and more that this person had the lowest status.
The first is that it is difficult for the martial artist to become the core in such a team. Secondly, when he killed the evil thing just now, this person's role was a shield.
His role is clearly and intuitively reflected.
"Uh-huh. Zhong Li nodded, indicating that he understood.
She will never cast any spells, and she will never participate in any battles, which is the experience of a mature prophet.
Chu Yuanzhen was silent, his eyes sometimes looked at Xu Qi'an, and sometimes at the Golden Lotus Daoist.
Xu Ningyan is very strange, he is by no means as simple as he seems.
After walking to this side room three times, there are only two possibilities, either Xu Ningyan did it on purpose, or there was some special reason for him to keep returning here.
"What secrets are hidden in Xu Ningyan........ Hey, No. 3 is related to the Qingqi of Yunlu Academy, and No. 3 is a Confucian disciple. And his cousin has another secret on his body........ Dao Chief, Dao Chief, you are really good at hiding. ”
.................
Everyone entered the side room with a heavy heart, and at the end of the side room was a corridor leading to the depths of the position.
"That's, that'........ Why don't you go ahead, Chief, I'm just a kid. Xu Qi'an stood at the entrance of the Yongdao, looking at the darkness ahead, a little hesitant.
"Do you perceive danger?" said the Golden Lotus Dao Chief's expression was grim.
No, it's just a bit cowardly, which evokes the psychological shadow of watching horror movies when I was a child.......... Xu Qi'an replied in his heart, took a deep breath, and entered the corridor with a torch.
The corridor is long and narrow, and there are traces of artificial excavation on the stone walls on both sides, dyed with orange brilliance.
The sound of their footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, and no one spoke, highlighting the tension in everyone's hearts.
At the end of the corridor is a tall stone door, closed and unattended.
Xu Qi'an stopped in front of the stone door, pressed his hands on the door, he tried to exert force, but he didn't really exert force, he was silent for a few seconds, and he didn't receive a warning from Shenjue.
Retracted his hand and nodded towards the Golden Lotus Daoist: "There is no danger, well, at least I didn't feel it." ”
"Open the door. Daoist Jin Lian said.
Stab!
With a jerky and heavy grinding sound, the stone door slowly opened back.
The light of the torch shone in, and it could only illuminate a few kilometers of range, and further inside, the light was swallowed up by darkness.
Xu Qi'an saw that the torch dimmed for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Wait, there is no air in it." ”
Then he instructed Zhong Li: "Is there a poison pill? Give a little to the brothers of the Houtu Gang." ”
The white-robed and dirty ram Su said, "You're welcome, we've taken the poison pill. ”
After waiting outside for a quarter of an hour, Xu Qi'an stepped into the tomb with half a foot, there was no danger warning, and the torches were not dim, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and said:
"I'll take the lead, you follow behind, remember, don't do anything superfluous. ”
The members of the Houtu Gang nodded vigorously.
Up to now, not only the sick man's gang leader, but even ordinary members have seen Xu Qi'an's inferior status.
Pathfinding leads the way, and danger is a shield.
Takeo, that's how vulgar it is.
My wave of operations has also been considered out of the limelight, and the effect is the greatest, and they all have to rely on me......... The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth were slightly raised.
At the same time, Xu Qi'an remembered that he hadn't paid attention to the details of the Dao before.
"The Golden Lotus Daoist is really a remnant soul, I remember, during the Sangbo case, we sneaked into Pingyuan Bo's Mansion, and as a result, we encountered Henghui who was bent down by the gods.
"At that time, my "education level" was not high, and I didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that I think about it, it's very strange. What about magic weapons? What about spells?
"If you use the Yuan Shen to go up, this is equivalent to taking off your pants and fighting hard with a gun made of flesh and someone else's iron gun. Pure death.
"But if the Taoist is a remnant soul, everything can be explained. Even, he likes cats to explain that people and cats are not his own flesh anyway.
"However, how long can the remnant soul live? Daomen is worthy of being a professional ghost player. ”
Although the inner drama is very rich, Xu Qi'an did not ignore the possible crises in the surrounding environment.
After entering the main tomb, the five torches dispelled most of the darkness, and the scene inside the tomb was sketched out in front of everyone's eyes.
The space of the main tomb is huge, if you compare it to a room, Xu Qi'an and the others are now located in the entrance, but even if it is the entrance, it already gives people the illusion of entering the temple.
The unseen height of the dome is supported by columns held together by several people, and the distance between the walls on either side is tentatively estimated to be 20 zhang, which means that the width of the main tomb is 20 zhang (60 meters).
The depth is unknown and yet to be explored.
"According to the pattern of the tomb, the coffin of the owner of the tomb must be in the center, so I suggest not going there yet, groping around the wall, estimating the size of the pattern, and by the way, seeing if you can find valuable information. ”
The Sick Husband Gang Master walked up to the Golden Lotus Daoist and suggested.
Old grave robbers........ However, it's me who leads the team, why don't you consult with me? Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.
"Reasonable. "Golden Lotus Dao bowed his head.
Xu Qi'an led the group to the left and began to explore, moving cautiously until they saw a huge mural.
Before the advent of writing, murals were the only way to record events, and even now, the tradition of "mural notes" is still popular.
Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen went one after the other, holding torches high to illuminate the murals.
The mural depicts a terrifying serpent breaking into a human city, coiled up higher than the city walls. Its pupils glowed scarlet, hideous and terrifying.
At this time, a Taoist with a flying sword on his feet descended from the sky and slew the giant snake.
The emperor in the city led his courtiers out to greet the Taoist, kowtowed to him, and the Taoist stepped on the flying sword and stared in the air, overlooking the emperor and courtiers below.
"Such a big snake, is it a demon clan?" Hengyuan frowned.
Chu Yuanzhen shook his head, saying that he didn't know, although he was traveling around, but since Jiazi shook the demon, the big demon gradually disappeared. In the Battle of Shanhaiguan twenty years ago, there was a demon clan, but Chu Yuanzhen was still a child at that time.
As for Xu Qi'an....... He looked at Daoist Jin Lian with everyone.
"There are indeed some gifted demon clans with huge sizes. But it's not so exaggerated. Moreover, if you know that when the five grades of the demon clan are condensed, you will condense the demon pill, and you will not think that the snake on the mural is a demon clan. ”
The Golden Lotus Taoist stood with his hands in his hands, with the demeanor of a master.
The three had different ideas.
What Xu Qi'an thought was that the original five-grade demon clan condensed the demon pill, listening to the meaning of the long words, after condensing the demon pill, the body size would shrink? Or is it that the way of the demon clan's cultivation is not an increase in body size.
Chu Yuanzhen was thinking, since it was not a demon clan, what was this snake? He had a vague guess in his heart.
Hengyuan's idea is relatively simple, he can't beat this snake, and it is a demon that the Dharma can't surrender for the time being.
Daoist Jin Lian didn't sell Guan Zi and said: "It's not a good thing to be big, although it will bring about an increase in strength, it will also expose a lot of flaws. In this world, those who are known for their large size and strength are ancient gods and demons.
"However, in the era when the ancient gods and demons were active, human beings were still in the period of ignorance, in the age of tribes. Therefore, the snake on the mural should be the blood of ancient gods and demons, not real gods and demons. ”
Chu Yuanzhen nodded slightly, what the Taoist chief said was the same as he thought.
"Even so, this person can slash the big snake, and his strength is probably extraordinary. Chu Zhuangyuan said.
The whole wall was like a picture scroll, and they walked as they talked, and saw what followed.
In order to thank the Taoist, the emperor cast a high platform for him, and led hundreds of civil and military officials to worship.
"Isn't this the kind of mural we saw earlier? Xu Qi'an said.
The picture of the ministers worshipping the high platform is exactly the same as the mural outside.
The content of the next mural surprised everyone, the vague-faced Taoist commander swung his sword and killed the emperor, then put on a dragon robe and a crown, and he usurped the throne.
What kind of god is this......... Xu Qi'an was dumbfounded.
Chu Yuanzhen opened his mouth, also shocked by the Dao Chief's actions.
Golden Lotus Dao Chang frowned.
Master Hengyuan frowned and said, "Such a master, he shouldn't be nostalgic for power." What does it mean to him to be emperor?"
The voice fell, and Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen said "heh" at the same time.
They looked at each other and smiled tacitly, knowing that the other party was the same as themselves, and thought of Emperor Yuan Jing.
The mural then depicts a war, with the black-armored army fighting each other, and behind the white-armored army is the gigantic emperor, the usurping Taoist.
The rear of the Blackarmor Army was empty.
The Emperor's army put down the rebellion, but he didn't seem to intend to be a good emperor, and he began to play multiplayer.
The emperor held the throne high, and in his arms sat a fruit-like woman, surrounded by a woman who was also naked.
After that, there were more and more men and women, and countless teams of men and women happily started multi-person sports.
"Isn't this the mural we saw outside? After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he felt that his words were so familiar.
This "multi-person movement" mural is the same as the one outside, except that there is no diagram of the meridians of the qi.......... The meaning of this mural is that the emperor later indulged in double cultivation and became a fanatical admirer of the dual cultivation of Taoism.
No, he is a Taoist himself, and he usurped the throne and became an emperor!
Many thoughts flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind, and then he heard Chu Yuanzhen say in a low voice: "Dao Chief, this emperor has a great relationship with the Daomen Double Cultivation School. ”
What he really wanted to say was, could this Dao Chief be the founding patriarch of that branch?
Is Chu Zhuangyuan still very smart, I think so too........ Xu Qi'an nodded while looking at the Golden Lotus Dao Chief.
"I don't know. Daoist Jin Lian's answer was concise and to the point.
The crowd walked slowly and continued to look at the mural.
It may be that the heavens are not accustomed to the emperor's dim-witted behavior, and one day suddenly dark clouds broke down, and thunder fell and killed him. The emperor died.
"The Taoist usurped the throne and was extravagant, so the heavens sent a thunderbolt and killed him......... That's too much of a tick. The Sick Man shook his head and commented.
The meaning of "Taigoulan" is similar to "dramatic", and the operas of this era are generally in Goollan.
The faces of the members of the Heaven and Earth Society were extremely strange, as they thought of something more.
Xu Qi'an analyzed from a rational point of view: "Strange, some places are not logical. ”
Jin Lian, Chu Yuanzhen and others knew that Xu Qi'an had an unusual talent in solving the case, so they all suppressed their divergent thoughts and listened to him.
"If the owner of this tomb is the emperor in the mural, that is, the Taoist, then this mural is very strange. Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice:
"Even our Majesty, who is wise and martial, knows how to revise the history books to cover up his own stains. And this mural, the naked painting here, is it ironic?"
His Majesty, who is wise and martial, revised the history books to cover up his own stains......... Xu Ningyan is too cautious, even on such an occasion, he does not leave a handle of "great disrespect".
Chu Yuan said in his heart.
"The thunder killed him, so this tomb should be built by courtiers and descendants, isn't it normal to criticize him. "Hengyuan Road.
"Master, you may build a tomb for your enemies, but others may not. Xu Qi'an shook his head and said:
"If future generations had hated him, they would not have built a tomb of this size. Otherwise, such murals would not have been painted. Unless the content of the mural is extremely realistic. ”
Everyone nodded and accepted his statement, and Chu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice: "With the strength of the Daoist, the idle thunder can't kill him." Does this thunder have any other meaning?"
At this time, the Golden Lotus Daoist spoke, word by word, and said in a deep voice: "It's a heavenly tribulation." ”
"Apocalypse?"
Hearing this, Xu Qi'an and the others looked at Daoist Jin Lian, which was an unfamiliar word.
Daoist Jin Lian nodded slowly: "In the Daomen system, the second grade is called 'Crossing Tribulation', and if you survive the Heavenly Tribulation, you can become a land immortal of the first grade. Hehe, this is not comparable to the Heavenly Supervisor's Divine Curse. The head of the previous generation of human sects was wiped out in the Heavenly Tribulation. ”
It turns out that the second product of Daomen is called "Crossing Tribulation", and the first product is called "Land Immortal". The people of the Heaven and Earth Society were quite happy to write it down.
Xu Qi'an patted his head and said, "I remember, Dao Chief, you said that the damn Dao Leader of the Earth Sect failed to cross the tribulation, and was only then eaten by the demonic nature and degenerated into a demon Dao." ”
After killing Zilian at the beginning, Golden Lotus Dao Chang sneaked into Xu Qi'an's room at night and had a frank conversation with him.
"In other words, this emperor is the second grade of the Daomen, and he is the second rank of the peak, and he is only one line away from the land fairy realm. Chu Yuanzhen said.
Daoist Jin Lian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Died in the Heavenly Tribulation, and was wiped out, this tomb should be a well-dressed tomb." There won't be much danger. ”
The others also breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Qi'an teased quite easily: "Dao Chief, overly determined judgment often leads to the opposite consequences. ”
Daoist, don't plant flags indiscriminately.
Under the leadership of Xu Qi'an, they came to the other side of the main tomb, and were disappointed to find that there were no murals.
This is the end of the exploration around the main tomb, Xu Qi'an held a torch, led everyone around to the center, and saw a wide black passage.
The passage leads straight to the central platform, flanked by shallow puddles of muddy water.
"Candles on both sides........"
Xu Qi'an moved the torch, and the orange light shone on the edge of the passage, and a human-height candlestick was set up every ten steps, and it continued to the high platform.
There were candles on the candlesticks that had not yet burned out, red as blood, but crystal clear, like rubies.
"This seems to be the oil refined from the body of the East China Sea Red Dragon, this candle can be burned for decades. The Golden Lotus Daoist sniffed and identified the material of the candle.
While speaking, Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen lit candles, and clusters of candlelight burned quietly, bringing more light to the vast main tomb.
Xu Qi'an drew attention to the pools on both sides to prevent evil objects from being hidden in the water, and at the same time lit the candlesticks at the edge of the passage.
The torches won't last long, they will eventually go out, and they will have to be replaced with something else before they burn out.
Approaching the high platform, Xu Qi'an suddenly stopped, because on the steps leading to the high platform, there were two columns of soldiers, quietly watching this group of uninvited guests.
Damn, scare me........ Xu Qi'an scolded and walked over, listened attentively first, confirmed that there was no heartbeat, and then observed these dried corpses.
"It's just a dry corpse, don't touch it indiscriminately, follow me. ”
After admonishing him, he climbed the stairs, stepped over the ninety-nine steps, and climbed to the high platform.
The scenery on the high platform was the first to meet Xu Qi'an's eyes, a huge bronze coffin was placed in the center, and four tall figures stood at the four corners of the high platform.
These figures, armed with different weapons, stood silently, standing for thousands of years, standing still.
Daoist Jin Lian glanced at the bronze coffin, looked away, walked to the edge of the high platform, and examined the nearest dried corpse.
The corpse was dressed in fish-scale armor, armed with a purple-gold hammer, and wearing a bronze mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Pieces of fish scale armor are connected with red threads, and each fish scale is engraved with strange runes, which are both evil and exquisite.
"This seems to be a work of Daomen?" Chu Yuanzhen was also observing the dried corpse, but the dried corpse he was looking at was holding a rusty bronze sword in his hand.
After looking at the four dried corpses, the Golden Lotus Daoist observed the armor on their bodies, and muttered:
"There are indeed traces of the Dao Gate, but I can only guess one or two of this kind of ancient runes, the main gold in the west, and the fire, water, and wood in the north, south, and east respectively. ”
"What about the soil?" asked Xu Qi'an.
Daoist Jin Lian did not answer, but looked at the bronze coffin placed in the center.
"Central Main Land!" Chu Yuanzhen said in a low voice: "What does this pattern mean?"
"Is it a dead life?" said the Wild Warlock Ram Su, looking at Zhong Li.
Zhong Li nodded and said: "Everything in heaven and earth is the transformation of the five elements, the ancients believed that people are buried in the tomb after death, and the tomb is in the soil, if the five elements array can be placed in the tomb, the deceased will one day be reincarnated from the soil." ”
Everyone listened with relish, but Xu Qi'an suddenly felt a chill down his spine and said:
"That's not right, Dao Chief, didn't you say that you died in the Heavenly Tribulation and disappeared? There is nothing, so how can you be reincarnated? What is the use of these Five Elements Array?"
Daoist Jin Lian was stunned for a moment, then his pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, the main tomb has been explored, there is no need to stay longer." ”
Xu Qi'an nodded, and was about to announce his retreat, when he suddenly heard a sigh from the bronze coffin:
"You're here........"
A coolness rose from the tail vertebrae and went straight to the scalp, Xu Qi'an "grunted", swallowed and foamed, Huo Ran turned his head to look at everyone, but found that although their faces were serious, they were not panicked.
Daoist Jin Lian noticed Xu Qi'an's extremely ugly face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I heard, ....... in the coffin" Xu Qi'an's lips spurted a few times, and spit out word by word from between his teeth:
"There are people-speak-words. ”
A chill rushed from everyone's tail vertebrae, and the scalp instantly tingled.
Zhong Li shivered slowly, almost unable to carry Lina.
Chu Yuanzhen's face was pale, and his voice was low and urgent: "Go, leave the main tomb, leave the ........... quickly"
At this moment, everyone showed a strong desire to survive, no nonsense, turned around and left.
Stab!
At this moment, everyone heard a jerky and heavy grinding sound coming from behind them.
It was the sound of the bronze coffin being unveiled.
.................
PS: I want to say something, but I don't know what to say, well, then ask for a monthly pass.
