Chapter 506
506 The tomb (1)
Now that Zhong Li was being punished by the heavens, he definitely couldn’t leave her outside. Xu Qi ‘an had always been a man who had tender feelings for women.
However, if they brought her into the tomb, there might be a risk of a team wipe. Therefore, the Golden Lotus Daoist priest’s decision was the most reliable one, and everyone agreed with it.
That night, accidents kept happening.
Zhong Li was meditating with her legs crossed when a huge wild boar suddenly jumped out of the grass beside her and gave her a brutal charge. The bird flew past her head, leaving a lump of gold.
The tree was suddenly blown down by the wind and fell on her head.At night, a Hunter who was hunting in the mountains shot a stray arrow at her and almost killed her …
It was too tragic, too tragic. The few men who had witnessed Zhong Li’s encounter were all silent.
The man was silent and the woman was crying.
When the sun finally rose, Zhong Li made a list of items that could restrain the yin and filthy energy and asked Qian you to buy them in the city.
“I, I’m going to take. short nap …”
Zhong Li reached out her hand and grabbed Xu Qi ‘an’s sleeve, “”Don’t leave me.”
When Qian you returned with the list of items, Zhong Li was still sleeping. Xu Qi ‘an carried her on his back and followed Golden Lotus Taoist and the others to the mountains in the South.
“Chi …” Zhong Li mumbled.
continue sleeping. I’ll wake you up when we reach the entrance of the tomb. Xu Qi ‘an said softly.
Zhong Li continued to sleep in peace.
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, Qian you brought the group to a Mountain Valley. He found the entrance to the tomb with great familiarity, which was covered with chopped branches.
After Qian you moved the branch away, a narrow tunnel that could only fit one person was revealed.
“Let’s go in,” Daoist priest Golden Lotus said.
“Okay, sure.”
Chu Yuanxi and Heng Yuan nodded, and then looked at Xu Qi ‘an together with Taoist master Golden Lotus.
“Give me a reason!” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.
the divine instinct of a spirit forging stage martial artist can sense danger in advance. Daoist priest Golden Lotus laughed.
“The Vajra Divine Art’s protection is unparalleled.” Chu Yuanqi added.
“…….. Alright, you’ve convinced me. ” Xu Qi ‘an carried Zhong Li on his back and entered the robber hole.
The Golden Lotus Taoist and the other three followed behind him. They did not get too close and kept a relatively safe distance.
From the mouth, the beginning of the narrow path, then the person. After taking dozens of steps, he suddenly saw the light.
When he came out of the hole, he saw a wide space. When he jumped out of the hole, Xu Qi ‘an stepped on a brick, which must have fallen from the wall when the grave robbers were digging the hole.
Da da …
He knocked on the Flint and lit the torch he had prepared. The torch burned brightly.
This hole had been open for nearly three months, and the air was fresh. The oxygen content in the tomb was extremely high … That wouldn’t do. It would destroy the cultural relics in the tomb. Some things would deteriorate quickly once they came into contact with oxygen … Hey, I don’t need to go through a trial, so what’s the point of thinking of these lines that have. strong desire to survive … Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him. Daoist priest Golden Lotus and the others had come out of the hole and jumped into the tomb.
Everyone lit up their torches at the same time, illuminating the dark space.
Xu Qi ‘an lowered his head and picked up a brick. He pinched it and found that the brick was many times harder than he had expected.
“What kind of brick is this?” He asked.
Golden Lotus Daoist priest moved the torch and shone it over. He took a few looks and said,”Qinggang brick.”
“?”
Xu Qi ‘an looked at him.
it’s a rare stone. It’s hard and doesn’t get eroded easily. Chu Yuanqian explained, ”
“I’ve seen this kind of brick in the books, but this is the first time I’ve seen it.”
yes. Xu Qi ‘an nodded and said, ” we should have entered the edge of the tomb. According to these bricks, the entire tomb should be built with Qinggang stone bricks.
the owner of this tomb is more honorable than we thought.
As expected of a genius in solving cases, his thinking was flexible, and his ability to analyze was strong … Chu Yuanxi thought.
The group searched around the tomb and found 12 coffins and four corpses. They had been dead for several days, and their bodies gave off a very light rancid smell.
“Three of them are brothers from the gang, and the other one is an expert we hired.” Qian you said in a low voice.
Even though doing this job was extremely risky and he often encountered danger, his heart was still heavy.
Xu Qi ‘an put Zhong Li down and handed her the torch. He squatted down to examine the body and said, ” her face is blue and black, and her lips are black. She died from a deadly poison.
“There’s no poisonous gas in the air.” Zhong Li said.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded and quickly stripped the corpse of his clothes. He found that there were a few small wounds on the arm of the corpse, as if they had been bitten by some insects.
“They’re in the coffins. The dead must have touched the coffins.” Chu Yuanqi suddenly said.
Xu Qi ‘an’s ears twitched. He caught a slight but dense squirming sound coming from the stone coffin.
The stone coffin was like a container for poisonous insects, filled with poisonous insects.
“Do you want to open the coffin and take a look?” Hengyuan said as he looked at Golden Lotus.
Daoist priest Golden Lotus looked at Chu Yuanyou.
The top scorer nodded and flicked a sword intent toward the stone coffin. The stone coffin shook violently and the squirming sound stopped.
He waved his sleeve, and the stone coffin was opened. A foul smell came out.
Everyone present was an expert, so they were not afraid of mere poison. Zhong Li opened her palm and held a brown pill in her hand. She said to Qian you, “”This is a detox pill.”
“Thank you, miss.” Qian you received it gratefully and swallowed it.
The four members of the Heaven and Earth Society stood by the sarcophagus and examined the inside. The dense poisonous insects with appendages were blown to pieces, and dark brown liquid splashed all over the coffin walls.
In addition to the poisonous insect that Chu Yuanyou had killed, there was also a badly deformed skeleton. It was impossible to determine the exact age, but it was known that it had been there for a long time.
It was a pity that this world didn’t have the corresponding technology, otherwise, they could have determined the age of this skeleton … Xu Qian thought.
there are no funerary objects. The coffins in this tomb room should belong to the funerary objects. Chu Yuanxi said.
“I don’t think there’s a system for the living to be buried with the dead in Da Feng.” Xu Qi ‘an humbly asked Chu Zhuangyuan for advice.
“The system of burial of the living has existed since ancient times, but the original era can not be verified. However, the system of martyrdom was truly abolished in the great wing dynasty in the year 2123. At that time, the scholarly Sage had yet to be born.”
Chu Yuanxi did not hesitate. The relevant knowledge naturally appeared in her mind and she replied.
“In other words, this tomb is more than two thousand years old.” Golden Lotus said.
After checking for a while, they found nothing. They left the tomb with torches in their hands and went deeper. Along the way, they would occasionally encounter one or two corpses, all of which died in traps.
After walking for a while, they entered an even wider tomb. The top of the tomb was deep in the darkness, and the darkness in front of them was boundless.
Xu Qi ‘an waved his torch and saw many corpses on the ground. Some of them were made of flesh and blood, and they had been dead for only a few days. Some of them were withered corpses, wearing tattered clothes that made it impossible to see the original style.
None of these withered corpses were complete. Some had their heads torn off, some had their limbs torn off, and some had been chopped into pieces.
Other than that, there were also coffins that had been opened.
One could imagine that an intense battle had just taken place here.
The grave robbers opened the coffins and woke up the zombies sleeping inside.
“What’s with this zombie? If I remember correctly, it’s the witchcraft cult that can control corpses, right?”
Xu Qi ‘an, who had a very low ” education level, ” was the first to speak. His eyes swept over the coffins that had not been opened in the distance.
Zhong Li shook her head, ” these zombies have nothing to do with the witchcraft religion. They’ve been nourished by the yin Qi. They’ve become zombies after a long time. Fortunately, these zombies have been destroyed, saving us a lot of trouble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, ” Bang Bang Bang ” sounds rang out in the empty tomb room. It was the sound of the coffin lid being pushed open and falling to the ground.
In the darkness, black shadows stood up one after another. They looked withered, but they had sharp, black nails. Their eyes were dark green, and they were cold and terrifying.
“Amitabha!”
Hengyuan chanted the name of Buddha and strode forward. He took the initiative to meet the zombies and smashed their heads with a punch.
After finishing off the zombies, they found murals on the walls on both sides of the tomb.
The contents of the mural on the left wall were carved with a group of people wearing ancient clothes and strange hats. They were prostrating on the ground and kowtowing towards a high platform.
Chu Yuanyou knew a thing or two about it, but she didn’t know much about it. Hengyuan and Xu Qi ‘an had never heard of it.
Golden Lotus Daoist priest pondered for a moment and said, “”Lord Daoist is known as the ancestor of all Arts and has learned a lot. The orthodoxies he passed down are mainly from the three sects of heaven, earth, and man, but there are also many other branches.
“There is a school of thought that focuses on dual cultivation, where yin and yang intersect and form a great Dao. At its most glorious time, its reputation was no weaker than that of the heaven, earth, and human sects. There were many devotees, and they were treated as distinguished guests by high-ranking officials and dignitaries who desired to cultivate and live forever. There were even female devotees who lingered in the Taoist temple and volunteered to do dual cultivation. According to the earth sect’s ancient records, there are a few women of noble status among them.”
Damn, this sect really knows how to play … No, no, I’m just seeing. lecherous person. In their eyes, the core purpose is to share the great Dao, and everything else is just floating clouds … Xu Qi ‘an was shocked. He stared at the mural, trying to remember the circulation of his meridians.
Hengyuan shook his head and stared at the mural with clear eyes. It was as if the things on it were floating clouds that could not shake his Buddhist heart.
“This technique is good for cultivation, but it’s too difficult to find a partner for dual cultivation.” The champion evaluated.
Since it was dual cultivation, he naturally had to find a woman who was also proficient in this path. It was definitely not possible to find a woman in a brothel to cultivate.
“The yin and yang of heaven and earth transform into the five elements. The dual cultivation technique is an Orthodox technique that points directly to the great Dao. However, there was no difference in spells, but there was a difference in people. The progress of dual cultivation was slow and required one to maintain their heart and not be occupied by desires.
“Gradually, in order to speed up their development, this sect created the plucking technique among the dual cultivation techniques, and thus fell into the devil path. They deceived the female devotees and imprisoned them in the temple for them to pluck. They robbed women from all over the place, causing the public’s resentment to boil.
“I’ve finally incurred the wrath of the Imperial court’s Army and the martial world’s swordsmen … Now that it was annihilated, the Taoist faction had an incomplete dual cultivation technique, but since it was incomplete, it was not of much use. I didn’t expect to find a complete dual cultivation technique here.”
Daoist priest Golden Lotus sighed.
“Then, why is there a complete dual cultivation technique here?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
