Chapter 125: Enter the Ancient Tomb
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yongjie was greatly relieved, with the senior killer guards of the Li family's cave, it was naturally difficult for Shaoqi to take away Xiao Yan's sister. Thank you now.
The two rode fast horses and went east through Luoyang City to the cemetery in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang. There are many tombs here, but the most conspicuous one is the one on the left.
Around the ancient tomb, the pine trees stand green, the stone fence guards, and the four stone statues of tigers, lions and leopards are placed in the four corners.
Li Yanjin stepped on the stone ladder, and suddenly a very strange cry came from all around. In an instant, four men flashed out from all around, these four people had thin faces, cold and sharp eyes, all dressed in black, and the ghost head logo at the corner of their clothes was faintly visible under the lights.
Seeing this, Zhang Yongjie knew that these four men were high-level killers in the Black Ghost Cave, and Li Yanjin specially arranged for them to guard the tomb around the ancient tomb, so as to prevent the gentleman on the beam from robbing the tomb at night.
When these four people saw someone coming just now, they wanted to come out to intercept and kill, but the person who came was Li Yanjin, so they naturally retreated again. Li Yanjin shouted the fire fold, and as soon as this statement came out, another man jumped out, offered two fire folds, and left.
Li Yanjin stood in front of the tomb, was silent for a while, turned to Zhang Yongjie and said, "You come with me." ”
I saw Li Yanjin walk three steps, then six steps to the left, then turn right, and move forward nine steps, and then entered the bamboo forest.
Then turn 12 steps to the left, then turn right and move forward 15 steps, then turn left 30 steps, turn right and go forward 70 steps, and then you have entered the depths of the bamboo forest, and then walk according to a certain pattern for a few moments, come to a pile of bamboo, and stop.
This bamboo pile, like the others, has nothing out of the ordinary. Li Yanjin pushed open the bamboo pile, and there was a secret hole in the middle, which only allowed one person to pass through.
Li Yanjin whispered, "Follow me down." Zhang Yongjie knew that this was to enter the tunnel, a secret passage or something. Thinking that day in the Mandarin Duck Cave, I didn't notice it for a while, and was conspired by the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King and trapped in the secret room.
This time he is going to enter the secret room again, and the same mistake must not be made again, Zhang Yongjie is now in the spirit of twelve points, and he is always on guard against Li Yanjin's plot. I thought that if I encountered misfortune this time, I must pull Li Yanjin on my back.
Thinking of this, he was not ridiculous in his heart, and followed Li Yanjin down the cave. The entrance of the cave is as deep as two zhang, and then there are three sub-holes at the bottom of it. Li Yanjin recognized the road and walked in from an intersection.
At the beginning, this road can still accommodate one person, walk half a mile, but the narrower and narrower, the narrowest place can only allow one person to pass sideways, and then go sideways for hundreds of steps, the secret road gradually widens. There are many iron pipes in the hidden places on the two walls of the secret passage, which are thought to be used for ventilation. Half a mile further, it's already wide.
In the end, he actually arrived at an underground labyrinth, Zhang Yongjie thought to himself that there are quite a lot of secret passages in this world, my Qiandao faction has a secret passage, and this Li family also has a secret passage.
Li Yanjin reminded at this time: "Be careful, every step in the back must follow my pace, there are many organs here, don't be careless." ”
Zhang Yongjie was extremely cautious and followed Li Yanjin's steps. After walking a few more steps, Zhang Yongjie did not step on the correct position, and suddenly the mechanism was activated, only to see the undercurrent surging under his feet, and the land under his feet was empty.
Li Yanjin was quick with his eyes, and he didn't fall into the quagmire by holding Zhang Yongjie up. Li Yanjin said: "Be careful, this area is a quagmire, and there are many wooden stakes driven in the quagmire, and only by following the correct pace can you step on the wooden stakes." ”
When Zhang Yongjie heard this, he saw Li Yanjin helping him again, and he was less wary of him in his heart. But then I thought, no, the more this is the case, the more cautious I have to be.
At this moment, he followed Li Yanjin to this tomb, but no one else knew, if he died here quietly, who would know?
If he is trapped here this time, there will be no second big brother Zhang Yuanwai in the world to save him. Death is not terrible, everyone doesn't know that they are dead, this is the most terrible.
Zhang Yongjie thought in his heart: "There are many mechanisms here and there are many labyrinths, if someone comes in to rob the tomb, there will definitely be no return." A lot of money must have been spent here, so who is the owner of this tomb? Could it be Yang Jiao's tomb?"
The two walked a lot more and finally came to a stone house. Li Yanjin groped on the wall, felt the mechanism in the stone crack, and the stone door suddenly opened, and the room was very bright.
Zhang Yongjie looked around, there were thirty-seven large night pearls in the room, illuminating the stone house very brightly, and a crystal coffin in the center. Such a cemetery is not much different from the emperor's mausoleum.
This Li family has a lot of money, and it is already expensive to build such a luxurious tomb, and at this moment, they are building large communities everywhere, and their financial resources are really extraordinary, far stronger than the Qiandao faction.
Of course, the crystal coffin is transparent, and there is a middle-aged beautiful woman sleeping in it, presumably this is Yang Jiao, Zhang Yongjie immediately asked, and Li Yanjin approved of this idea.
What surprised Zhang Yongjie was that after many years, Yang Jiao's body was intact.
Yang Jiao in the crystal coffin is still relatively young, and her face is forever fixed when she died.
She is so beautiful, she still has two jade plates in her hand, and one of the jade plates is engraved with a can character. Naturally, it was Yang Jiao's son Li Can, another jade plaque, but it was upside down, and I couldn't see the text on it, I don't know whose it was?
Zhang Yongjie wondered who the girl who was replaced by Li Ling was?
Li Yanjin stepped forward and touched the crystal coffin, and said slowly: "Tibetan Tantra has a poison called Qingfeng San, although this medicine is highly poisonous, it can keep the inside of the corpse from decaying. So I bought this crystal coffin and used the dragon claw hand to suck the air inside dry, so that her face could be preserved for a long time. ”
After a long time, Li Yanjin's mood eased up, and he immediately said: "Brother Zhang, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”
Zhang Yongjie closed his eyes and pondered, where should he start asking this? Zhang Yongjie sorted out his thoughts and immediately said: "Before last month, Zai Xia and the Shangguan brothers went to the Mandarin Duck Cave in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. found Li Yuan and Li Erye's jade plate, dare to ask Li Erye and Yang Jiao's sister if they lived there?"
Li Yanjin nodded and said, "The family is unfortunate, it is true. ”
Zhang Yongjie suddenly felt that Li Yanjin's hair was green, no matter what, the matter of Li Yuan's fornication with Yang Jiao, the second master of Li, was confirmed.
Zhang Yongjie told Li Yanjin about the case he discussed with Shangguan Xiaofei in Chang'an that day, and said: "This is the current situation that I have with Xueyin, what does Uncle Li think about it." ”
Unexpectedly, Li Yanjin was full of emotion for a while, sometimes pacing, sometimes looking at Yang Jiao in the crystal coffin, and finally sighed: "Actually, I already knew that there was a problem with the two of them, but I was afraid of face, and I always turned a blind eye." At that time, my father was still there, and there were only me and my second brother under my father's knees, and I couldn't bear to see my brothers fighting. ”
Zhang Yongjie couldn't bear to interrupt Li Yanjin's train of thought, and listened quietly beside him. I heard Li Yanjin say again: "After Yang Jiao married into the Li family, with the exquisite internal skills and marksmanship of this blood drinking faction, the Li family's children made great strides in their martial arts. ”
Zhang Yongjie said: "So at that time, the Li family rose rapidly, conquered everywhere, and squeezed into the ranks of the three families and four factions. ”
Li Yanjin nodded and said: "That's the case, at that time, I was obsessed with hegemony, surrounded by the crowd, and often didn't go home." That year, I was working in Taiyuan and was delayed for more than half a year. When she returned to Luoyang, Yang Jiao was three months pregnant and already had a big belly. ”
