Chapter 53: Tomb Treasure Hunting
"I've seen the Ninth Lady!" Loach saw the wrinkled old woman and hurriedly made a move.
I didn't have time to say hello, so I just did the same thing, but my loach barely started when it was almost over.
Who is the Ninth Lady? The Ninth Lady looked at me and said, "Yo, Knife Face, this is the newcomer you are talking about? β
My face was slightly hot, I felt that I had indeed become handsome, and then I greeted nervously: "Hello Mrs. Jiu!"
"Well, it's very well-behaved, not bad!" At this time, I felt a kind of energy fluctuation similar to that ghost and ugly uncle from the ninth grandmother, it should be a Jindan peak monk, only one step away from Yuanying, don't underestimate this step, some monks may not be able to cross it in their lifetime.
"Knife face, the old body came today to change this Jiulong pier, my Jiulong pier is still a little flawed, Wang Enxi made a better one, there is a big deal, we need Jiulong pier, we have to study it carefully." β
Mrs. Jiu suddenly said that there was a sale, and everyone's eyes lit up, including me, it seems that I am a person who is relatively easy to integrate into the environment.
Knife Face suddenly said to the loach, "Close!"
After closing the gates, we went to the backyard together.
Grandma Jiu said: "The little six I arranged found two new little two, and they are still staring at it." It's just that these two people are not juniors, but sophomores. β
"Huh?" exclaimed.
What is a sophomore, through their conversation, I understand, the sophomore is a monk above the Yuan infancy, and there are spirit stones, this is called a sophomore, in front of the sophomore, most of the disguise techniques will be invalid, unless the means are superb. Fooling the Yuan Infant Monk, this has to be very cautious, playing the sophomore is no less than dancing on the back of a tiger, but the harvest will also be huge.
After talking about the strategy, the ninth grandmother said: "This operation hook is the key, I heard that the newcomer Jiujin has outstanding acting skills, this Yuan Infant Monk is not something that ordinary people can deal with, you might as well give the old body a performance, if it is really as powerful as the ghost brothers said, then the key to this operation depends on you." β
"Huh?" I was as surprised as the knife face, and said in a trembling voice, "I said that Mrs. Jiu, this Yuan Infant Power can not say that a slap can turn me into a baked cake, even a bullet of the nose can smash me to death, is it really okay?"
Mrs. Jiu smiled slightly: "This time I have all the certainty, as long as the hook is shrewd enough and the acting is good enough, there is no need to worry, this time the harvest will be great, and the points will naturally be more." And in order to keep you safe, we have also prepared for the dog gate, you see!" said Mrs. Jiu and took out an object from her arms, which I knew, and it turned out to be a sky-shaking thunder.
Nine grandmothers are the people of the dog door, this is to cooperate with the ghost door, eighty percent of the dog door has recently lacked a small hook, the dog door and the ghost door seem to have close contacts, and the relationship is relatively good.
"Thunder?" I exclaimed, surprised.
"I didn't expect the little brother to have such insight. Yes, it's the earth-shattering thunder. Whether this thing succeeds or fails, this earth-shattering thunder belongs to you. Mrs. Jiu said generously, and threw it directly after speaking, so scared that I quickly caught it, this thing will blow up when it lands, and everyone present can be fried into powder, and the respect of everyone in this predecessor is probably related to this courage.
I know that this thing is the existence of a life-saving rune, and naturally I know that it is precious, not to mention that the reward is very rich, that is, this earth-shattering thunder can protect me, as long as I take it out, it can scare away the Yuan Infant Stage, if you really fight, throw it out, and the Yuan Infant Period will be the least disabled.
I suddenly remembered the earth-shaking thunder given by the master, suddenly remembered that the master was missing, life and death were uncertain, suddenly remembered that Azhu was forcibly occupied by the battle Baifei, suddenly remembered Daddy Fan, remembered my father, remembered all the sadness, my heart squeezed together, sank down, a sour energy went up the corners of my eyes, and tears pressed out.
I said lightly, "Is this acting okay?" The words were low and lackluster.
The loach clapped his hands and said, "I can't do this kind of acting no matter what." β
Dao Tiao's face also laughed: "Amazing." β
Wang Enxi went to see Lao Dongtou, and as soon as he entered the house and saw that I was crying, everyone was laughing, so he asked, "What's the matter, crying and laughing again?"
The loach patted me on the shoulder and said to Wang Enxi: "Jiujin's acting skills have caught up with slugs, and I will cry when I say I cry." β
In their eyes, I am acting, and I laugh for it, but tears don't lie, there is always sadness in tears......
The plan is agreed upon, and the implementation begins......
The loach is a small six, and it is also a small hook, and I am now only doing small hooks and imitation carving. Three days later, at ten o'clock in the evening, the remnant sun was like blood, and the loaches suddenly brought back two monks.
A person has a white face, full of folds, gray hair, a smile and eyes are blurred, it is difficult to see the demeanor, dressed plainly, five short figures, bare hands, carrying hands, at first glance is a master.
The other person had a red face, a strong physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, round and shiny eyes, although he looked dignified, but when he smiled, he leaned his neck up, and there was a trace of arrogance in his bones.
There are generally two kinds of arrogant people: one is the pride of nothing, and the other is the crazy person who is really capable. The former doesn't live long, and the latter is strong, and nine times out of ten the person in front of him is the latter, otherwise he won't be able to practice until he is still alive and well.
The two infancy powers with red and white faces were brought back by the loaches, and I was still very stressed, it seems that these two people are sophomores, and they are still two.
To two against two, I used to be the apprentice of Kong Zhi, a famous man in the world, and the soldiers will be the kings, and the second will be the king.
Loach said: "These two are Bai Shigong and Di Yuan's predecessors, and the two of them want to find a heavy treasure, which is purchased for the military, so we must buy a serious good treasure, and we have to do our best to protect the mountains and rivers." The loach turned his back to me and said to me with a suggestive expression, and continued, "If you want to find a good treasure, you have to go to the ancient city, I'm a little busy, brother, you can take them there." β
"Okay!" I put down the scimitar I was wiping, put away the oil, took off my apron, and wiped my hands with a rag. In fact, everything was going according to plan, and I looked like an honest magic shop guy.
Sure enough, as soon as I got on the road, the two Yuanying powers ignored me, didn't take me seriously at all, and couldn't do anything to them as a small foundation building monk, and all the communication that was originally planned was all in vain, and they just regarded me as a little ghost to guide the way. This Bai Shigong, Di Yuan and my master Kong Zhi can't be compared, firstly, my master is a famous man in the world, and secondly, my master is humble and polite, these two people see that their cultivation is much stronger than mine, and they are speechless all the way.
Before we could go to the ancient city, the earthen city of an ancient battlefield in front of us appeared in front of us, and it had been about an hour and a half since we walked here, and the walk to the north was far away, and it was very rugged, and the detours were a full twenty, and the mountain road was circling one after another. However, no matter how complicated the terrain is, it is difficult to help the Yuan Infant Monk, and on the first day of the day before yesterday, I was familiar with this place, I looked like a local spirit, there was no place I didn't know, and I had been training loaches for three days, and I was taught what I had mastered, and my two brothers were even more shoulder to shoulder, as if they had become iron buddies in everyone's eyes.
"This is the closest Xiaolang City to the Komiyagi Castle on the battlefield of the Upper Ancient City. "I introduced the red-faced monk to him.
Bai Shigong said: "Oh, Xiaolang City, this is the Xiao Lang City where Yue Zitong fought the demon clan and defended for eighty days?"
I pretended to understand and replied, "Exactly!"
Entered Xiaolang City, barren and withered, dilapidated, broken tiles and ruins, Xiaolang City is not big, it was once a major pass, the ancient city was breached, it is precisely because of the famous Yuan Infant Regiment Leader Yue Zitong in history to stick to Xiaolang City, to block the invasion of the demons, make full use of the power of the formation and ancient treasures, defend for eighty days, reinforcements arrived, and the demons were repulsed. Yue Zitong was the great general of the founding immortal country of the current dynasty, and now he has long been seated, and his descendants are even more knighted.
And here left countless warriors' blood, magic weapons, and armor, starting from Xiaolang City all the way to the north, there are ancient tombs, the famous mass graves, Death Valley, Broken Horse Ridge, Tiger Slope, and Misty Forest are all in this area.
If you want to enter the ancient city through Xiaolang City, you need to pass through two mountains, clouds and mist everywhere, and occasionally there are monster beast calls, there are many cliffs here, all kinds of strange screams make the two Yuan Infant Powers are also shocked, I said according to the Loach Sect: "There are a lot of necromantic souls here, the combat power is amazing, most of them are demon beasts or generals above the Yuan Infant Period, and the resentment is very heavy after death, and every monk will kill them." β
Di Yuan was a little flustered and said, "Could it be that this demon beast soul still has the stage of transforming into a god?"
"Ahem, of course there is, this is the place where the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor have fought in the past dynasties, and it is normal to die some spirit beasts in the Transformation Period and Out-of-Body Period. However, I know a secret path, follow me to ensure that you are fine, if the living come here, it is really possible to die for a lifetime. β
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, the two Yuan Infant Powers approached me more than two feet, and suddenly lowered their posture and followed closely behind me, I am afraid that they will be lost.
I secretly thought it was funny, a little scare them would have an effect, this loach is really an earth spirit, and it has experience. The strange screams outside were actually disguised within the scope of the plan, and there were people from the ghost gate cooperating in the forest.
We walked along a dark and narrow path, and turned three more times, and saw some small dirt bags, which turned out to be a cemetery, and the cemetery was very ordinary, and the bend of the grave was like a bent waist, like the wrinkles of the years, and there were forever frozen, as if in contemplation.
At this time, it was already dark, and the faint silver moonlight shone on the cemetery, making the cemetery seem more and more mysterious, and some of the tombstones were even more dreamy, and the bleak night wind seemed to be the soul whispering, singing ancient songs, like the souls of ancient warriors drifting.
This cemetery is hidden in the depths of the jungle, just as we passed by, the hidden wind gathers qi, it is a treasure land, and if there is a treasure land, it is possible to bury big people.
I said, "This cemetery is very large, I don't know how many souls are buried, and I haven't finished exploring it yet, don't look at the fact that it's relatively close to Komiyagi, but there are still people who often come here to try their luck." Further on, there will be a lot of ancient tombs, some cemeteries are built very grandiose, but the inside is stolen empty, this in addition to our locals are familiar with, generally do not understand, their own coming and going are in vain, in case you encounter corpse cultivation, ghost cultivation enemy but, maybe you have to throw your life here, although that kind of supernatural alien monk is relatively rare, but when you encounter it, you have to use up the luck of the second half of your life. β
Bai Shigong said: "Well, I did have a fight with a corpse cultivator, and it was very difficult, if it weren't for my cultivation to be higher than that guy, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live today." β
I secretly said, I haven't seen that thing, this Bai Shigong is really well-informed.
The three of us passed through two cemeteries, and at a fork in the road I hesitated and said, "It's safer to walk on the right, and the road on the left is closer, but it is said that there are monsters infested." β
After passing a fork in the road and continuing to turn right, and there is a cemetery in front of the right to pass, this cemetery is very tall and majestic, it seems a little magnificent and majestic, I said: "This is the tomb of King Lin, King Lin is an important immortal general of the founding of the Immortal Dynasty Immortal Emperor, is a monk of the god period, buried here after sitting in, it is said that the treasures in this area are very rich, I hope it is worth the trip." β
As soon as my voice fell, I suddenly saw a few heads moving in the dark in the cemetery, I could see it, and Bai Shigong and Di Yuan could naturally see it, they were both powerful in the infancy stage, especially Bai Shigong seemed to have a domain cover, and when he walked by, there was always a feeling that people were not close, and the grass and trees were blown outward and lodging, this Bai Shigong was a top master, if he mixed in the immortal army, he must be a regiment leader.
"Hide!" Bai Shigong said suddenly.
This was originally what I was going to say, but I didn't expect him to say it first, which is really weird.
Bai Shigong whispered: "Treasure hunters are ruthless, stealing dead people's things, they are all invisible, in case they are discovered, they will kill people if they don't get it." β
I feigned fear, and the first one hid behind a tree, all three with their backs to the group of treasure hunters.
But I thought about it, if I hid like this, there were some things that I wouldn't do, I sighed, relaxed again, and said: "Ahem, senior, you are too worried, most of the treasure hunters here are local monks, how can there be legends so terrible, local monks rely on these people to make a fortune, most of them are temporary teams composed of ordinary monks." Rest assured, rest assured, I know them too well. β
Bai Shigong and Di Yuan glanced at each other, and saw that I was really fine, so they also turned out.
Bai Shigong said: "Since the other party is a treasure hunter, if the treasure is found, then the treasure that comes out of this scene must be genuine." It's a lot better than buying insurance out there. β
Di Yuan nodded: "Well, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again! Let's go and talk to them." β
I hurriedly stopped: "Alas, it's better to wait for them to come, treasure hunting has its own rules and methods, if you see their methods, it's really hard to say what will happen." β
Bai Shigong patted me on the shoulder and said, "Little guy, with their cultivation, I will be burned to death with one slap, what is there to worry about." β
Bai Shigong, who was still scared just now, saw that this group of treasure hunters had cultivated to the highest talent Jindan stage, and immediately doubled his confidence, plus the soldiers themselves were courageous, but the legend of this ancient city was very complicated, so there was a nervous look in front.
As soon as his voice fell, he took the lead and walked out, and Di Yuan followed, as if I had no choice, and said in a weak voice: "If only the locals might still know me." "Actually, it's all for them.
As we approached, several monks suddenly ran out of the cave of the ancient tomb, and a terrifying roar came from inside: "Roarβ"
This roar made my ears tingle. The monk who ran out was carrying a large bag and a small wrap, and the package was still tinkling.
The monk who ran out shouted, "Plug it!"
Several treasure hunters guarding the outside hurriedly performed earth and stone techniques to block the entrance to the cave.
An old man guarding outside said, "Where's the strong son?"
One of the people who ran out said with a sad face, "It's dead! β
We just happened to hear this conversation as we walked over, and we were also shocked by the roar of the beast and the shaking of the earth. Di Yuan said: "The roar of this beast sounds like a kind of demon beast named "Horse Belly", which is a kind of demon beast with a human face and a tiger body, extremely intelligent and powerful. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that there were several tiger claw-shaped bulges in the newly sealed hole, which were the horse's belly attacking from the inside out, trying to break through the obstacle and rush out.
Seeing that the treasure hunter's cultivation was low, Bai Shigong stepped forward with both hands, and as soon as he sat on a house-sized ice mound fell from the sky, blocking the entrance of the cave, the mountain-like ice mound instantly merged into the earth and stones, and those earth and stones became extremely hard, and the surface even glowed under the moonlight, and the roar of the beast in the ancient tomb became smaller and smaller, as if it had left the cave entrance and returned to the depths of the ancient tomb.
Bai Shigong turned out to be an ice magician, ice turns into water when it is close to the soil, and then freezes to freeze the earth and stones instantly, this usage is really exquisite, I have learned a trick, but how to control the ice and then freeze is difficult for me.
The old man at the head said, "Hurry up, it's not a demon beast inside." β
Everyone flew with their spirits, and Bai Shigong and Di Yuan also fled frantically with the treasure hunters, and did not stop in a clearing until they escaped five or six miles.
The scrawny old man said: "Although there is a harvest this time, but the strong son is lost, and one-tenth of the harvest of all ancient treasures belongs to the strong son's family, and the owner is told to bury the strong son." β
The old man saluted Bai Shigong again and said, "Thank you seniors for helping, it's just that our formation is not used yet, in fact, we can still control it." β
As soon as the old man explained, although he said thank you, he actually didn't appreciate it.
In addition to the old man, there were four other treasure hunters carrying packages, looking very nervous, after all, there were suddenly two more powerful people in front of them, each holding a legendary magic talisman in their hands, ready to escape at any time, I am afraid that these two Yuan Infant Powers will snatch it.
Suddenly, one of the team said, "Well, isn't that a guy from the blacksmith's shop?"
I took a step forward and said, "It's me." Oh, Uncle Li is also there. β
Then he pretended to greet each other, and the old man also accosted: "Oh, it turned out to be a guy from the blacksmith shop, do you know these two people?"
I said, "They are going to go to the ancient city to buy some ancient treasures, but they don't want to run into you. β
The old man said: "We just came back from the ancient city, and now there is no one over there, recently there is a demon python, there is an out-of-body period of cultivation, and if you see someone, you will kill it, if there is no immortal king-level cultivation, there is no monk is its opponent." β
Bai Shigong said: "In this case, your treasure has just been unearthed from the ancient tomb, can you let me have a look, if it is of good quality, I will buy some." β
The old man at the head said, "Who are you?"
Bai Shigong said: "We are purchased by the Immortal Army, if it is an ancient treasure that is conducive to group battles, we will collect as much as we want." β
The old man of the treasure hunter seems to be the captain of this treasure hunt, wearing a night coat, and even covering his face, this masked old man is very thin, like a big smoker, he can float to the ground if he pushes it, and I don't know who he is.
The thin old man said: "No, senior, we have customers for this treasure exploration, and this time we have 10,000 high-grade spirit stones out of the mountain people's house." This package has a forbidden stamp on it, and any treasure must be handed in. I hope that the seniors will not break the rules of the immortal cultivators in the demon immortal realm. β
"I can erase the ban mark at once. Bai Shigong said proudly.
"Oh, if you erase it, it will prove that we have taken it privately, and we can't pay the difference, and the identity of this treasure explorer will be finished in the future. The old man said with some annoyance, "No, we have to go." β
"Wait, we don't want much, just pick a few powerful ones, and I can give you another copy of the forbidden mark. "Bai Shigong still doesn't give up.
The thin old man said: "Ahem, the owner gambled on excitement, so he blocked this cemetery and spent 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, although it is not much, but it is not a small amount for us ordinary monks." If there is no treasure in this ancient tomb, then the customer will pay for it, and if there is any treasure, it will all belong to others. I think my seniors should understand such rules, right?"
"Captain Bai, why don't we rob them!" Di Yuan interjected unscrupulously on the side, seemingly giving this group of treasure hunters a dismount.
The thin old man suddenly took out a heaven-shattering thunderbolt from his arms and shouted, "If you want to rob me, I will die with you." β
Bai Shigong said angrily to Di Yuan: "What nonsense, this is the land of five peaks and three cities, the predecessors of the immortal army are sleeping here, how can they make a mistake in front of the ancestors?" Bai Shigong reprimanded Di Yuan and then turned around and waved his hand at the thin old man, "Old brother, don't get excited, we have no evil intentions, we are an orthodox immortal army, how can we do what the immortal bandit did." What is important about buying and selling is that you are willing to buy and sell, how can there be a hard grab. β
I didn't expect these two sophomores to sing and harmonize, one playing black face and the other white face, I secretly thought it was funny.
"Then you take care of your brother, and we will wait for my cultivation to be low, and if there is a wind and grass, this earth-shattering thunder will be thrown at your feet. The thin old man took the lead and directly came up with a killer idea.
I secretly thought it was funny, this old man acted very well, a typical old K.
The thin old man said: "No matter what you say, we haven't been doing this business for a day or two, how can we lose our craftsmanship and jobs, and you can buy wherever you like." β
With the earth-shattering thunder, the thin old man is no longer polite when he speaks.
Bai Shigong said: "Otherwise, you can sell me one or two, and as for the imprint, I can simulate the same." β
Di Yuan said: "Our head Bai has a domain, and the simulated imprint is naturally not a problem. β
Sure enough, this Bai Shi has the public domain, and he is a group leader, powerful, and it is estimated that the minimum standard for being the head of the group is a monk who has a domain in the Yuan infant stage.
"Don't give it!"
Bai Shigong's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he was silent for a long time, maybe he really hesitated to kill the group of treasure explorers in front of him in seconds, but he still said politely: "Or, in this way, you show us, if there is a special need, I will take one and give you a high price, and you will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime." β
As soon as I heard it, this routine is almost at a critical time, which is similar to the fake Confucian monk a few days ago, and the buyer's mentality is one word: anxious, especially the immortal army who is in a hurry to purchase, it is even more urgent, and every time there is an extra useful group battle ancient treasure on the battlefield, it is equivalent to having a little more certainty of victory in the battle.
The thin old man hesitated for a moment and said, "You can see it, but you can't touch it." β
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you!" Bai Shigong was also helpless, seeing such a stubborn old man in the Jindan period, if he had been slapped to death in normal times, how could the other party have earth-shattering thunder, as long as the other party escapes a person, he will become a wanted criminal, and he will also bring notoriety to his immortal army.
Under the command of the thin old man, the four Jindan early stage monks opened four packages, and there were still many earth and stones on the edge of this package, and the moment the package was opened, they saw some white jade, white jade is the best material to protect the ancient treasure, which can block the dissipation of the aura of heaven and earth, and can also block the breath of the ancient treasure, so as not to be snooped on by others.
Gu Bao spread out, made a muffled sound of dong dong dong, muffled sound, this is one of the main characteristics of Gu Bao, and the contemporary magic weapon is different, the contemporary magic weapon and the folk weapons are similar, will make a clanging collision sound. There is a big difference between the two, especially the unearthed ancient treasures, there are some protective materials such as pulp, earth and stone, and even some colorful rust, these things will make the ancient treasures bump into each other and make a non-crisp but dull sound.
The ancient treasures scattered all over the place, and one of the ancient treasures caught the attention of Bai Shigong, and he and Di Yuan exclaimed together: "Nine Dragon Pier!"
