Chapter 44: Wine is a good thing
After seeing the woman in white, except for people, everything was still, and with bare hands, there was no reliance.
"It is not an exaggeration to say that weapons are an extension of the hands and feet, and they can also be said to be the second life of man. ”
Xia Yuan, who had crossed the short sand, wrapped the rough sword tire with gray strips of cloth and carried it behind him, revealing only the hilt of the sword.
If he was in a dangerous situation and held a weapon in his hand, Xia Yuan's heart was also a lot more peaceful.
Blackwater Lake.
At this time, there were already a lot of monks gathered, dressed in different clothes, all of them looking at the surface of the Blackwater Lake with full attention.
"Poof. ”
Among them, many of them had already jumped into the Black Water Lake, but the first to jump into the Black Water Lake was disappointed and shook their heads ashore.
"After the cockscomb snake left, it was a lot more lively here. ”
In the distance, a young man with a sword on his back walked slowly, and when he got closer, Xia Yuan bypassed the crowded place and walked under a tree, leaning his back against the thick trunk, clasping his hands in front of his chest, and smiling at the many monks by the Black Water Lake.
They are all young faces, and the highest cultivation among them is the peak of Qi acceptance.
"This person is a little incomprehensible and interesting. ”
However, on the big stone where Xia Yuan had once hidden, a figure stood that made Xia Yuan take a few more looks.
It was a young man, he shook the folding fan in his hand, stood with a smile, dressed in a white shirt and won the snow, and his gentle and elegant appearance was more like a bit of a showman.
"There is a piece of Xuanbing in the Blackwater Lake, and it has been salvaged for so long, how can there be no trace of Xuanbing?"
"Who said it wasn't, I deliberately left the sect just for this Xuan Bing, don't tell me that the Xuan Ice has melted since the phoenix-tailed cockscomb snake left. ”
“...............”
In the Heishui Lake, the people who went down came up, and the people on the shore went down again, over and over again, and the people who had been fishing for a long time left disappointed, while the people who had not gone down to the lake to fish did not believe in evil and refused to turn back until they hit the south wall.
"Xuan Bing can be regarded as a strange thing, how can it be so good. ”
Xia Yuan raised his hand and pinched his chin, he had also gone down to the Black Water Lake, but he didn't see the so-called Xuan Bing at the bottom of the lake except for the beast eggs. When the phoenix-tailed cockscomb snake left, it took Xuan Bing with him.
And this is just a guess, Xia Yuan put down his hand and looked at the monks with great interest.
As more and more people left, there were a lot fewer people by the Heishui Lake, Xia Yuan's eyes turned, and he searched around, but he didn't see the two Yun Bufan brothers and sisters.
"No wonder I can't see Brother Yun, and Nianyi. ”
At the edge of the Black Water Lake, it wasn't until the two of them came ashore that Xia Yuan saw that it was someone from the Lianyun Sect.
"Hey, this guy is gone, too. ”
Turning his head, the white-clothed young man standing on the boulder disappeared, he had been looking at it for a long time, Xia Yuan also lost interest, and after identifying a direction, he raised his feet and left the Heishui Lake.
The ancient ruins are very large, and I don't know how long it will take to meet Yun Bufan's brother and sister again, which can only depend on fate.
The cockscomb snake's beast egg was still in the ring, and when he thought of Yun Nianyi, who looked timid, Xia Yuan's mouth showed a smile.
"I knew that there was a map of the ancient ruins, and I should have asked my predecessors for a copy before I came, so why bother to run around blindly. Yehime's appearance is also human, but she is a little more ruthless. ”
Xia Yuan muttered to himself, took out a map of the ancient ruins in his hand, and discerned the direction.
The map was obtained from Yeji's ring, if there was a map in advance, why bother making a big detour, which really gave Xia Yuan a little headache.
Walking on the road, a dead leaf swayed left and right in the air and landed on Xia Yuan's shoulder.
At this time, it was already far away from the Blackwater Lake, and according to the map, it would be possible to reach the Sword Tomb in a few days.
Ahead, three sneaky figures suddenly appeared, they didn't say anything, they just gestured in their hands.
The three people hiding in the shadows, just by virtue of their gestures, cooperate seamlessly.
"Sneaky, either there is a disaster or chance. ”
Xia Yuan put away the map and carefully groped behind the three of them.
The trio were very cautious, and they also marked their way along the way, and some small traps to prevent exposure and being followed.
Xia Yuan frowned, and sighed secretly, "It's dangerous", if it weren't for the distance, Xia Yuan would have been discovered by them a long time ago.
Regardless of cultivation, the three of them cooperate tacitly, and the contact is all a secret word, and this kind of indication shows that they are more similar to some people, or they are the same kind of people at all.
Tomb robbers who touch gold and explore feng shui.
Seeing this, Xia Yuan held his breath and followed behind them, even more cautious.
"Big brother, if Old Man Huang is right, it should be this place, but according to feng shui, this place is barren, not relying on the mountain, not carrying water, how can there be a big tomb?"
The three people who had been moving forward stopped only after making sure that there was no one around.
One of them took out a compass, looked around again, and said suspiciously.
"My money is not allowed, since Old Man Huang said that there is here, then there should be here, the second one, lay down the maze, and the third one starts to work. ”
Getting closer, Xia Yuan saw the appearance of the three of them clearly.
The person who was called the eldest brother was a middle-aged man, he had a Chinese face, and there was a scar on the left side of his face, and when he laughed, the scar was like a centipede crawling, looking hideous and terrifying.
The second child is also nearly middle-aged, but he is relatively thin, with a pair of small eyes, and he looks very shrewd.
The third child has been squatting on the ground, kneading the dirt in his hands, with his back to Xia Yuan, unable to see his face clearly.
"Okay, big brother, I'm done early, the peony in Lichun Courtyard is still waiting for me. ”
The second child laughed, and then raised his hand and scattered eight yellow array flags, and then, the second child's hands pinched the seal, and with a "rise", the eight array flags suddenly had no wind and automated.
Suddenly, a gray mist erupted from the surface of the yellow formation flag, enveloping the place where the three of them were.
After a cup of tea, when the gray mist lifted, the yellow array flag on the ground was gone, and the three people were gone.
The scene before me was restored to its original state, and no one had ever come.
"Maze, the layout is a little shallow, there are a few flaws to be found, but well, you have to wait for a while, when they open the way, I will not be too late to go in, wouldn't it be better to sit and reap the profits." ”
The tomb robbers can't afford to be early, and depending on the degree of importance they attach to, this tomb can't be small.
Xia Yuan lay on the grass leisurely, his hands on his head, biting an unknown grass in his mouth, chewing gently, and letting the bitterness melt in his mouth.
Through the gaps in the dense foliage overhead, the broken gold from the sunlight is less dazzling.
Xia Yuan shook Erlang's legs, looking relaxed and freehand.
"It's time to go. ”
After an hour, about the three of them had already dug up, Xia Yuan slowly stood up, spit out the grass in his mouth, straightened his hands, and moved his joints.
"Sanpin Maze, are the three of them too confident in their tomb robbing speed, or do they think that no one is coming to this place. ”
Xia Yuan smiled and took out a red array flag, and with a force of his fingertips, the array flag was inserted in the middle of the eight yellow array flags impartially.
Suddenly, the void in front of him trembled, and at the same time, a ripple like water appeared.
A black, one-person cave appeared in front of me, and fresh dirt was piled up a little high on the edge of the cave.
"Dry position, good position, out of position. ”
Xia Yuan moved his body quickly, stepping on three points under his feet, and then jumped forward, Xia Yuan's body fell lightly beside the red array flag, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the red array flag, and a gray mist gushed out, from the outside, there was nothing abnormal here.
"Some people rob tombs, and they will arrange a touch array at the entrance of the cave to serve as a warning. ”
Xia Yuan bent over, held the entrance of the cave with both hands, and poked out his divine sense, and after scanning around, he didn't find any clues at the entrance of the cave, so he entered the cave lightly.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, but the further you go inside, the more space you have until you can stand upright.
On the walls of the cave on both sides, there are a few torches scattered around, and the fire light is very dim, but you can see the road ahead.
Near.
A hole had been cut into a stone wall, and broken bricks were littered with rubble.
Xia Yuan stepped on it lightly, trying not to make a sound, and after coming to the wall hole, Xia Yuan held the rough sword tire in his hand, this is the tomb, everything needs to be cautious.
"The identity of the owner of this tomb should be extraordinary, but I don't know who the old man Huang is, but he can accurately calculate that there is a tomb here, and the scale is not small. ”
On the stone wall of the tomb, the carved text and image, the pen and pen through, vigorous and powerful, and lifelike, should be out of the hand of a certain person, and this is just a tomb, a place where the dead are buried, which shows the degree of importance it attaches to.
Every time Xia Yuan took ten steps, he would see a fire trough glowing green, and there were some blackened white bones scattered on the ground.
There was a damp, musty smell in the air, which didn't smell very good.
"Boom!"
The stone wall of the tomb suddenly trembled, and the dust that fell fell on Xia Yuan's shoulders, hair, and the corners of his clothes.
There was a heavy stone door in front of him, and through the gap, he could see all kinds of light, and the sound of weapons colliding was faintly heard.
"Fighting? Could it be that the three of them did not share the spoils equally, or that someone else entered the tomb and met them unexpectedly. ”
Xia Yuan leaned against the stone wall, carefully came to the stone gate, raised his eyes and passed through the gap, in the bursts of white light, there were many figures.
The scene in front of him made Xia Yuan a little stunned.
It was a large hall with four huge stone pillars, surrounded by people, and all major sects gathered together.
And the people headed by the major sects are all old men, they have white beards and white hair, and they have the appearance of fairy wind and bones.
"The people of the Celestial Empire have also come. ”
Xia Yuan stared at a young man dressed in silk and satin, wearing a jade crown on his head, standing there with a smile on his eyebrows, the young man with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and his expression was arrogant.
And the people around him surrounded the boy like stars and moons.
That young man was Xia Chun, a person Xia Yuan didn't want to see, but he appeared here.
The three people who came in from digging the thief hole were hiding in the dark at the moment, their faces were pale, their bodies were a little trembling, and they didn't dare to show their faces at all.
"Brother Yun, Sister Nianyi. ”
In a corner, there were many places where scattered cultivation gathered, but Xia Yuan unexpectedly saw the two Yun Bufan brothers and sisters, but their expressions were a little flustered, and they were trying to avoid the people of Lian Yun Sect.
"Whew!"
The shadow duel, like a gust of wind blowing, Xia Yuan walked from the dark to Yun Bufan's brother and sister.
Xia Yuan, who had changed his face, did not rush forward to recognize the two Yun Bufan brothers and sisters, but just blocked the sight of the Lian Yun Sect Elder with his body.
"The three major dynasties, the Asking Cangdian, the Illusory Heaven Palace, the Three Heavens, and the six bronze-level sects of the Nether gathered together, but the old man hadn't seen this kind of grand occasion for a long time. However, I would like to advise you that the owner of the tomb here is the ancestor of the old man, and I hope that you will retreat here, so as not to unsheath the sword and see the blood hurt the harmony. ”
A huge yellow gourd was suspended in the air, and on top of the yellow gourd, an old Taoist man dressed in a shabby Taoist robe sat on it, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and after pouring a few sips of wine into his mouth, he said drunkenly.
The sound was thick, like a muffled thunder exploding in the ears on a dry day, and the eardrums that shook were a little painful.
"Drunkard, you are really drunk, talking nonsense, we have all received the news that the tomb here is here, and the owner of the tomb here is the burial place of an ancient predecessor, and how can it be related to your ancestors. ”
The old man headed by the Celestial Empire sneered and said, this person, Xia Yuan has met once, he is the third elder of the Celestial Empire, he is an upright person, but his personality is a little hotter.
The three elders used to be above the court, and because of Xia Yuan's matter, they made a big fuss, and it was Xia Yuan who was watching from the sidelines, but he also remembered it in his heart.
"Drunkard, if you get drunk, go to other places to spread wild, how can you be presumptuous here, if you stop me again, don't blame me for not talking about the past feelings. ”
Ask the deputy hall master of the Cangdian Palace, Wen Jiu, holding the Zhonghuang Tower in his hand, he raised his eyebrows and cold eyes, but he never left the slightest affection in his mouth.
Dressed in green clothes, there is no wind and automatic, and the hunting sounds.
"Wine is a good thing, and only when you get drunk can you see the black and white of the world and the ugliness of the human heart. And you, who are well-dressed, live in the light, but you have done all the means of darkness. ”
The drunken old Taoist poured a sip of wine into his mouth again, and with a red face, he shook his body a few times, and almost fell off the huge gourd, revealing his ugliness, which also made some onlookers laugh.
