Chapter 23: The Mausoleum of the Former Dynasty (6)
Ye Xiao returned to the mansion, set up a table and set up a banquet, got drunk, and was carried to the bedroom to rest by the family. I woke up in the afternoon the next day, my head was groggy, and I remembered Moli's entrustment in a trance, and I was busy sending Mr. Feng Shui up the mountain to survey the caves.
After a few days, according to the county chronicle, the feng shui masters found the location of the mausoleum, drew a picture, and presented it to the young lord to receive the reward.
After that, the thief was hired to go to the tomb, and all kinds of changes were mentioned in the previous article, and I will not describe them in detail. Let's say that Liu Lao Er missed, Ye Xiao drew his sword in anger and killed people; He Shumeng came from the end of the alley, feeling resentful, but it was not easy to blame him.
The two of them discussed for a while, and He Shumeng pondered: "Brother Ye will go home and rest first, and I will report to the official, after all, Liu Lao Er is not the only one who escaped from the tomb, and the matter will always be exposed." ”
"Wait, how does Captain He explain to the county guard?" Ye Xiao's face was gloomy, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the government.
"It was getting late, so I threw the body at the gate of the government house while it was dark, and then bought it off, pretending to be injured and escaped, bleeding to death. People in the public door are the most black-eyed and can't see silver, and everything is easy to talk about if they have money. ”
He Shumeng wrapped the corpse in a straw mat and left in a hurry, almost reaching the end of the alley, before he looked back and ordered: "At the end of the day, we will meet at the inn and ask Mr. Mo for guilt." ”
Ye Xiao returned in disappointment, went straight into the house, took off his bloody clothes, drank half a pot of stuffy wine, and felt quite depressed. Looking at the leaky water in the night, the arrow shaft was marked, and the time had come, so he changed his clothes and slipped out of the room.
He turned over and jumped on the eaves, crouched and looked around, but saw that the courtyard was deep, the buildings were heavy, the moon was faint, and the noise was noisy. The mood became more and more depressed, as if the road was hidden, and the dream of cultivating immortals turned into a bubble, sighing that the future was bleak.
Rushed to the Yuepeng Inn, stood outside the window and waited for a long time, listening to the beating of the more people's bangzi knocking and knocking, nearly three o'clock, He Shumeng was late.
"Done?"
"Hmm. He Shumeng replied softly, his face was not happy, but his brows were tightly knit.
The two glanced at each other, and knocked on the door of the inn helplessly, and there was a sound of rustling inside. Xiao Er just fell asleep, and was woken up again, hurriedly got up in his clothes, lit the lamps and candles, and thought that the official had come to investigate, ran to the back of the door to peep, and found that it was a familiar face, and said vigilantly: "The store has been closed, and it will not accept customers for the time being, please go back." ”
Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard this, but He Shumeng guessed the reason, and hurriedly said, "Little brother, don't be afraid, we are looking for Mr. Mo to recover our lives." ”
Xiao Er was silent, still hesitating, when Mo Li suddenly heard an order from upstairs: "There are no ambushes around, let them enter the house." ”
"Got it. Xiao Er shouted, and then opened the door and let them in.
Ye Xiao followed He Shumeng upstairs, and Mo Li pushed the window to indicate the location of the room. The three of them sat down, ran to the hall to serve tea, Mo Li sent them back, swept them away, saw that their hands were empty, and they had a rough idea, so they asked, "Didn't get anything?"
Ye Xiao nodded awkwardly, and He Shumeng saw that he was silent, so he had to tell the story alone and tell the truth.
After hearing this, Mo Li's eyebrows and foreheads were furrowed, slightly gloomy, and he immediately restrained his anger, sighed secretly, and said with a smile: "Hard two, who would have thought that the Gusu bird was not dead, but still guarding the tomb of Liu Zu, and making such a fuss, no wonder you." ”
"Alas, Ye is ashamed of his trust. Ye Xiao blamed herself, staring at the floor, not daring to look at her.
"It's okay, not this time, there will be another time. Mo Li waved his hand generously, thinking about it for a moment, took out the pill bottle in his arms, pushed it over and said: "The two of you take it first, although the matter has not been done, but you are not a stingy person in the next place, and you should make friends." ”
"This!" the two of them stood up in surprise, looked at each other, and were embarrassed to stretch out their hands for a short time.
"Why be surprised, Mo regards his brother as his own, and treats others with contempt. With that, he straightened his back, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the two of you dislike it?"
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" Ye and He were in good spirits, and quickly snatched the medicine bottle, carefully wrapped the elixir in a silk scarf, and put it into their arms.
He Shumeng's chest was hot, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said with his neck twisted: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will immediately convene the deployment, and then go down to the tomb for you to collect the treasure." ”
"There's no hurry. Mo Li spread his palms to stop it, looked sideways at the candlestick, and thought secretly: "The Gusu bird is a demon bird in the previous dynasty, and it can also cultivate, every time it grows a head, it will improve a level of realm, and ordinary soldiers are by no means opponents." If there are less than three heads, I am not afraid, but if there are more than five heads, I am also difficult to beat. ”
He figured out the pros and cons, took the idea, and dialect: "The ancient birds are fierce, the yamen knows about this, and will definitely ask for help from the Heavenly Book Mansion, and when the time comes, we will follow into the tomb, and wait for the spirit official and the Gusu bird to fight and lose both, and then sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”
Seeing that he had a strategy, the two of them were greatly relieved, so they drank tea and said goodbye, and just about to go out, Mo Li instructed: "The two of you go back to take the pill to cultivate, but you have to be careful that the effect of the medicine is strong, and the slightest negligence will damage the body." ”
Seeing that they were worried, Mo Li smiled and comforted: "Don't panic, it's just some common illness, don't worry too much." ”
The two thanked each other and left the inn in a hurry. Mo Li pushed open the window, leaned his elbows on the edge of the platform, looked at their backs condescendingly, and the corners of his mouth raised: "This elixir is refined with human souls, and I won't teach secret arts. ”
He retracted his gaze and said contemptuously: "A bunch of fools, you still want to fly to immortals, dream of it!"
People's hearts are different, and words are divided into two ends. That night, Ye Xiao climbed over the wall and returned to the house, rushed into the wing room quickly, and swallowed the soul pill in a hurry, and suddenly felt a wave of abundant spiritual energy spread to the limbs and bones, washing the muscles and bones, and immediately meditated and refined.
For several days in a row, Ye Xiao closed the door, her head was steaming with sweat, her clothes were soaked inside and out, and she only relied on the food sent by the servants to feed her stomach.
When the soul pill was exhausted, he exhaled the exhaust gas, and then looked at his body, the surface was covered with black dirt, dirty and smelly.
Ye Xiao didn't have time to clean up, turned around and took off the long sword hanging in front of the bed, and slashed it with all his might, an invisible wind came out, and the sound of clattering split the Luohan couch, embedded in the wall for an inch, and shook the lime to pieces.
This pill actually helped him cross the bottleneck of the qi veins and reach the consummation realm, and he could already release his sword qi and slash things in the air!
Ye Xiao was pleasantly surprised, and was about to scream out with joy, when a sharp pain suddenly appeared in her chest, seeping into her heart. "Goo!" he shuddered, covered his mouth and coughed up some blood foam, only to feel that his eyes were black, and he could barely stand on his feet.
In the swaying, he bent down on the edge of the bed, inhaled deeply, and after a while, suppressed the discomfort in his body, and said to himself: "It seems that I was in too much of a hurry, refining too fast, and only then did I damage the meridians." ”
But the effect of the elixir is remarkable, and I am even more grateful to Mo Li, and I am convinced. Take a bath in the soup to wash away the dirt and rest for a few days. When his injuries first healed, he personally contacted He Shumeng and stationed them in the mountains with the defenders.
In the blink of an eye, the spirit official arrived, and Ye Xiao and the others invited you into the urn and took them to the tomb to eliminate demons. Back to Lin Yi, at this moment he was standing in front of the wall, staring at the traces on it, meditating.
Gu Wanxi squeezed to the front of the team and asked softly, "My lord, the passage seems to be blocked, let's go from the other side, shall we?"
"Nope. Lin Yi refused on the spot, pulled the torch closer with his left hand, stretched out a finger with his right hand, put it between his eyebrows, held his breath, and stared at the halo to observe.
Confused, he explained, "Look at the dust. ”
Gu Wanxi looked at it and saw a lot of fine floating dust floating around the firelight, slowly fluttering in the air.
Lin Yi raised his head, raised the torch, raised it above his head and said, "There's a breeze up there." ”
The sergeants looked up one after another, their mouths wide open, and with all their eyesight, they could barely see the open space above the wall, about two feet high, and it was dark inside.
"Wait a minute, I'll go explore the way first. Lin Yi handed the torch to the sergeant behind him, twisted his waist and stepped forward, kicked up the wall, climbed the wall into the gap, and disappeared.
Gu Wanxi was worried about his safety, and after Er, there was a shout from there: "There are no monsters, everyone come here!"
She breathed a sigh of relief, and Black Hawk flew in first, and the rest of the group divided into two groups, crouched with their backs against the wall, and took the ladder with their palms to carry their companions up.
When it was Gu Wanxi's turn again, she pulled a few feet away, ran to a sergeant in front, jumped up with her feet on his palm, grabbed the top edge, turned over and took place, and then turned back to pull the other party.
Lowering his head, the sergeant also looked up, the two looked at each other, and Gu Wanxi found that the man's facial features were marked, his skin was fair, and his appearance was extremely handsome.
The sergeant grabbed her wrist and awkwardly climbed up the wall, smiling at her in thanks, with an amiable demeanor that taught her like a spring breeze.
Gu Wanxi didn't speak, glanced at the long sword on the other party's waist, the sheath was silver-white, looking extraordinary, stunned, then turned around and crawled to the other end of the passage.
Everyone landed one after another, and suddenly smelled a foul odor, which filled the air, rich and pungent. The soldiers distributed torches, and outside Lin Yi, there was a corpse lying next to Lin Yi's feet, the wreckage had long since decomposed, and dozens of black beetles were rolling in the flesh, revealing the white bones of the forest.
The Black Eagle rested on his shoulder, his bloody eyes glaring at the carrion, curious. Lin Yi said solemnly: "This person has claw marks on his skull, and it seems that he died at the hands of the eagle-faced demon." ”
He Shumeng leaned over and asked, "Do you want to continue your journey?"
"Brother He doesn't need to be timid, the kid is here for this. Lin Yi solemnly opened his mouth and walked towards the end of the tunnel.
The crowd quickly followed, and before long, a burial chamber appeared in front of them. Entering the door to see, the inside is extraordinarily wide, with a platform built in the center, the edge is surrounded by a stone fence, and a burial pit is spread from east to west, and the main hall is spread horizontally.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers stared at the treasures of Manqu, their eyes lit up, and a soldier did not wait for He Shumeng's order and ran towards the burial pit alone. Lin Yi's ears pricked up, and he shouted, "Be careful, there's movement inside!"
Then I heard a loud noise, like the tide of the sea, countless black strange insects crawled out of the tunnel, turned into a puff of black smoke, engulfed the military man, densely gathered, shocking!
When the incident occurred, the crowd fled or retreated, except for one young soldier, who remained unwavering. At the critical moment, Lin Yi hurriedly crashed into the black smoke, and at the same time exerted his true qi to protect his body, allowing the insect swarm to cover him, his vision instantly dimmed, and his mouth and nose were completely suffocated.
The black eagle flew away ahead of schedule and was almost swept into the insect mist, while Gu Wanxi screamed, "My lord!"
The beetle's arthropods squirmed back and forth outside the air armor, and the disgusting touch was transmitted to Lin Yi, who forcibly resisted his stomach, grabbed the soldier's arm, and forcibly pulled the person out of the sea of insects.
The beetles were separated by the air armor, and they couldn't help him if they desperately bit him, and they instinctively felt the crisis, and the booming sound fluttered their wings and scattered, like the tide receding, and they drilled back into the pit one after another.
Lin Yi's hair was in disarray, his clothes were messy, but fortunately there was no major problem, so he turned to look at the military man, gasped and asked, "Whew, are you okay?"
The man sat down on the ground, trembling with fright, tears streaming down his eyes, and cried, "Thank you for your help, I-"
There was a sudden pause in his voice, and then his gaze wandered, and he slowly glanced down. Lin Yi frowned, but saw a small bag bulging out of the other party's neck, and there seemed to be something in it, which was slowly moving......
