Chapter 308: Chapter 308 You're Here

Chapter 308: Chapter 308 You're HereIs this old man the wild sorcerer that Qian You mentioned?

He seemed to see that Zhong Li was also a sorcerer, so he must have known that Zhong Li was from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. After all, wild sorcerers are like giant pandas, extremely rare, and it is impossible for two to appear near Xiangcheng at the same time.

Xu Qian'an thought to himself.

"The owner of this tomb is not simple, haha, it's not good to see something you shouldn't see. This is the old man's experience of digging tombs for many years. Your sorcerers from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau disdain to do this kind of work and lack a little experience." Gong Yangsu laughed.

The sorcerer from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?!

The members of the Hou Tu Gang looked at Zhong Li, their faces full of astonishment, as if they were shocked.

It turned out that the real person did not show his face, she turned out to be a sorcerer from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau...... Sure enough, this kind of silent person is often one of the core figures.

The sick man gang leader thought.

He looked at Xu Qian'an again, and felt that this person had the lowest status.

First of all, it is difficult for a warrior to become the core in such a team. Secondly, when the evil creature was killed just now, this person's role was a shield.

His role was clearly and intuitively reflected.

"Yeah." Zhong Li nodded, indicating that she knew.

She would never cast any spells, and would never participate in any battles. This was the experience summed up by a mature prophet.

Chu Yuanzhen remained silent, his eyes sometimes scrutinizing Xu Qian'an, and sometimes looking at Taoist Jinlian.

Xu Ningyan was very strange, he was not as simple as he seemed.

There were only two possibilities for walking into this side room three times, either Xu Ningyan did it on purpose, or there was a special reason for him to keep returning here.

"What secrets are hidden in Xu Ningyan... Hiss, number three is related to the Qingqi Chongxiao of Yunlu Academy, and number three is a Confucian disciple. And his cousin, there is another secret... Taoist, Taoist, you hide it so well."

Everyone entered the side room with a heavy heart. At the end of the side room was a corridor leading to the depths of the location.

"Then, that... Taoist priest, how about you go ahead? I'm still just a child." Xu Qi'an stood at the entrance of the corridor, looking at the darkness ahead, a little hesitant.

"Did you sense danger?" Taoist priest Jinlian looked serious.

No, I was just a little scared, which reminded me of the psychological shadow of watching horror movies in my childhood... Xu Qi'an answered in his heart, took a deep breath, and entered the corridor with a torch.

The corridor was long and narrow, and there were traces of artificial excavation on the stone walls on both sides, stained with orange light.

Their footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, and no one spoke, highlighting the tension in everyone's heart.

At the end of the corridor was a tall stone door, tightly closed, and no one had visited yet.

Xu Qi'an stopped in front of the stone door, pressing his hands on the door. He tried to exert force, but did not really exert force. He was silent for a few seconds and did not receive any warning from the divine sense.

He took his hand back and nodded to Taoist Jinlian: "There is no danger, well, at least I didn't feel it."

"Open the door." Taoist Jinlian said.

Zha!

With the heavy and awkward friction sound, the stone door slowly opened backwards.

The light of the torch shone in, but it could only illuminate a few feet away. Further in, the light was swallowed by the darkness.

Xu Qi'an saw the torch dim for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Wait a little longer, there is no air inside."

Then he ordered Zhong Li: "Do you have anti-poison pills? Give some to the brothers of Hou Tu Gang."

Gong Yang Su, who was in a dirty white robe, said: "You're welcome, we have taken anti- poison pills."

After waiting outside for a quarter of an hour, Xu Qi'an stepped half a foot into the tomb. There was no danger warning, and the torch was not dimmed, which made him feel relieved and said:

"I will lead the way first, and you follow behind. Remember, don't do unnecessary things." The members of Hou Tu Gang nodded vigorously.

Until now, not only the sick gang leader, but even the ordinary members have seen Xu Qi'an's low status.

Exploring the way and taking the lead, using danger as a shield.

Warriors are so vulgar.

My operation has also been the highlight, and it has the greatest effect. The Taoist priests have to rely on me... Xu Qi'an's mouth corners slightly raised.

At the same time, Xu Qi'an remembered the details that he had not paid attention to before.

"The Taoist priest Jinlian is indeed a remnant soul. I remember that during the Sangpo case, we sneaked into the Pingyuan Earl's Mansion and encountered Henghui who was bent over by Shenshu. The Taoist priest's operation at that time was to rush forward with his soul.

"My "cultural level" was not high at that time, and I didn't think there was anything wrong. Now when I think about it, it's very strange. Where are the magic weapons? Where are the spells? Where are the golden pills?

"Using the soul to rush forward is equivalent to taking off your pants and using a flesh-made gun to fight against someone else's iron-cast gun. It's just courting death.

"But if the Taoist priest is a remnant soul, everything can be explained. Even his love for cats can be explained, since neither humans nor cats are his own flesh and blood. "However, can a residual soul live for so long? The Taoist sect is indeed a professional ghost player." seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Although his inner drama was very rich, Xu Qiyan did not ignore the possible dangers in the surrounding environment.

After entering the main tomb, the five torches dispelled most of the darkness, and the scene inside the tomb was outlined in front of everyone little by little.

The main tomb is huge. If it is compared to a room, Xu Qiyan and others are now in the entrance hall, but even the entrance hall gives people the illusion of entering a temple.

The pillars that can be hugged by several people support the dome whose height cannot be seen. The distance between the walls on both sides is initially estimated to be twenty feet, that is, the width of this main tomb is twenty feet (60 meters).

The depth is unknown and needs to be explored.

"According to the layout of the tomb, the coffin of the tomb owner must be in the center. I suggest not to go over there first, but to feel around the wall and estimate the size of the pattern, and see if you can find any valuable information."

The sick man gang leader walked to the side of Taoist Jinlian and suggested.

Old tomb robber... But I am the leader, why don't you consult me? Xu Qian'an muttered in his

heart.

"That makes sense." Taoist Jinlian nodded.

Xu Qian'an led everyone to explore to the left, moving cautiously until they saw a huge mural.

Before the emergence of writing, murals were the only way to record events. Even now, the tradition of "recording events in murals" is still popular.

Xu Qian'an and Chu Yuanzhen, one in front and one behind, held up torches to illuminate the

mural.

The content of the mural is: A terrible giant snake broke into the human city. When it coiled up, its body was taller than the city wall. Its pupils glowed scarlet and ferocious.

At this time, a Taoist priest with a flying sword descended from the sky and killed the giant

snake.

The emperor in the city led his ministers to greet the Taoist priest and kowtowed to him. The Taoist priest stepped on the flying sword and condensed in mid-air, overlooking the emperor

and ministers below.

"Such a big snake, is it a demon clan?" Hengyuan frowned.

Chu Yuanzhen shook his head, saying that he didn't know. Although he traveled everywhere, since the Jiazi eradication of demons, the big demons have gradually disappeared. In the Shanhaiguan battle 20 years ago, there were demon clans, but Chu Yuanzhen was still a child

at that time.

As for Xu Qian'an... He and everyone else looked at Taoist Master Jinlian. "There are indeed some demon clans with extraordinary talents and huge bodies. But it's not so exaggerated. Moreover, if you knew that the demon clan would condense demon pills when it reached the fifth level, you would not think that the snake on the mural was a demon clan." Taoist Master Jinlian stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a Taoist master.

The three people had different ideas.

Xu Qian'an was thinking that the fifth-grade demons condensed demon pills. From what the Taoist said, after condensing demon pills, the body size would shrink? Or is it that the way of cultivation of the demons is not to grow in size.

Chu Yuanzhen was thinking, since it is not a demon, what is this snake? He had a vague guess

in his mind.

Hengyuan's idea was relatively simple. He could not beat this snake. It was a demon that Buddhism could not subdue for the time being.

Taoist Jinlian did not keep him in suspense and said: "Being large is not a good thing.

Although it will bring about an increase in strength, it will also expose many flaws. In this world, the ancient gods and demons are famous for their large size and strong strength. "However, when the ancient gods and demons were active, humans were still in the ignorant period and the tribal era. Therefore, the snake on the mural should be the blood of the ancient gods and demons, not the real gods and demons."

Chu Yuanzhen nodded slightly. What the Taoist said was the same as what he thought. "Even so, this Taoist can kill the big snake, and his strength is probably extraordinary. "Chu

Zhuangyuan said.

The whole wall was like a scroll. They talked and walked, and saw the subsequent content.

In order to thank the Taoist, the emperor built a high platform for him and led the civil and military officials to worship.

"Isn't this the mural we saw before?" Xu Qian'an said.

The scene of the ministers worshiping the high platform is exactly the same as the mural

outside.

The content of the next mural surprised everyone. The Taoist priest with a blurred face waved

his sword to kill the emperor, then put on a dragon robe and a crown, and he usurped the

throne.

What the hell is this......Xu Qian'an was dumbfounded.

Chu Yuanzhen opened his mouth and was also shocked by the Taoist priest's actions.

Taoist Jinlian frowned.

Master Hengyuan frowned and said, "Such a great man should not be attached to power. What

does it mean to him to be an emperor?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Qian'an and Chu Yuanzhen uttered "huh" at the same time.

They smiled at each other tacitly, knowing that the other party, like themselves, thought of

Emperor Yuan Jing.

Then, the content depicted in the mural turned into a war, with the black-armored army and

the white-armored army fighting, and behind the white-armored army was the giant emperor the Taoist who usurped the throne.

Behind the black-armored army was empty.

The emperor's army quelled the rebellion, but he did not seem to intend to be a good

emperor. He began to play group sports.

The emperor held up the throne, with a naked woman sitting in his arms, and surrounded by

equally naked women.

Later, there were gradually more men and women, and countless teams of men and women

happily engaged in group sports.

"Isn't this the mural we saw outside? "After Xu Qian'an finished speaking, he felt that his

words were so familiar.

This "multi-person sex" mural is the same as the one outside, except that there is no meridian diagram... The meaning of this mural is that the emperor later became obsessed with dual cultivation and became a fanatical worshiper of the Taoist dual cultivation technique, and was licentious and immoral?

No, he himself is a Taoist who usurped the throne and became the emperor! Many thoughts flashed through Xu Qian'an's mind, and then he heard Chu Yuanzhen whisper:

"Master, this emperor has a great connection with the Taoist dual cultivation school." What he really wanted to say was, could this Taoist be the founder of that school?

Is Chu Zhuangyuan still very smart? I think so too... Xu Qian'an nodded and looked at Master

Jinlian.

"I don't know." Master Jinlian's answer was concise. Everyone walked slowly and continued to look at the murals.

Maybe God couldn't stand the emperor's foolish behavior. One day, dark clouds suddenly appeared and thunder struck him to death. The emperor passed away.

"The Taoist usurped the throne and was extremely licentious, so God sent thunder to kill

him... This is too brothel." The sick man gang leader shook his head and gave his evaluation.

"Too brothel" means something similar to "dramatic". Operas of this era were generally performed in brothels.

The faces of the Tiandihui members were extremely strange, because they thought of more

things. Xu Qi'an analyzed from a rational point of view: "Strange, some places are not logical." Jinlian, Chu Yuanzhen and others knew that Xu Qi'an had an extraordinary talent in solving cases, and they suppressed their divergent thoughts and listened to him.

"If the owner of this tomb is the emperor in the mural, that is, the Taoist, then this mural is

very strange." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice:

"Even our wise and powerful Majesty of Dafeng knows to modify history books and cover up his own stains. And this mural, painted nakedly here, is it ironic?"

The wise and powerful Majesty modified the history books to cover up his own stains.......Xu

Ningyan was too cautious, even in such an occasion, he did not leave a handle of "disrespect". Chu Yuanzhen thought.

"He was killed by thunder, so this tomb should be built by ministers and descendants. Isn't it

normal to criticize him?" Hengyuan said.

"Master, you may build a tomb for your enemy, but others may not." Xu Qi'an shook his head

and said:

"If future generations hate him, they will not build such a large tomb. On the contrary, they will not paint such murals. Unless the content of the murals is extremely true." Everyone nodded and accepted his statement. Chu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice: "With the strength of a Taoist, ordinary thunder cannot kill him. Does this thunder have other meanings?" At this time, Taoist Master Jinlian spoke, word by word, and said in a deep voice: "It is a

heavenly tribulation."

"Heavenly tribulation?"

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an and others looked at Taoist Master Jinlian. This is an unfamiliar word. Taoist Master Jinlian nodded slowly: "In the Taoist system, the second grade is called 'crossing the tribulation'. After surviving the heavenly tribulation, you can become a first- grade land immortal. Haha, this is not comparable to the heavenly punishment of the Sitianjian prophet. The head of the previous generation of the human sect was wiped out in the heavenly tribulation."

It turns out that the second grade of Taoism is called "crossing the tribulation" and the first

grade is called "land immortal". The people of Tiandihui wrote it down with great joy. Xu Qi'an slapped his head and said, "I remember, Taoist priest, you said that the damned

Dizong leader failed to pass the calamity, and was devoured by the devil and degenerated into a demon."

After killing Zilian, Taoist priest Jinlian sneaked into Xu Qi'an's room at night and had a frank conversation with him.

"In other words, this emperor is a second-rank Taoist, and the peak second-rank Taoist, just

one step away from the immortal realm on land." Chu Yuanzhen said. Taoist priest Jinlian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "He died in the calamity, and was reduced to ashes. This tomb should be a cenotaph. There won't be much danger." Others also breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Qi'an joked with ease: "Taoist priest, too firm

judgments often bring about the opposite consequences." Taoist priest, don't make random moves.

Under the leadership of Xu Qi'an, they came to the other side of the main tomb and were

disappointed to find that there were no murals.

The exploration around the main tomb ended here. Xu Qi'an, holding a torch, led everyone

around to the center and saw a wide black passage.

This passage led straight to the high platform in the center. There were shallow puddles on

both sides of the passage, and the water was turbid.

"There are candles on both sides..."

Xu Qi'an moved the torch, and the orange light shone on the edge of the passage. A

candlestick as tall as a person was set up every ten steps, all the way to the high platform.

There were candles that had not yet burned out on the candlesticks, red as blood, but crystal clear, like rubies.

"This seems to be the oil extracted from the red dragon of the East China Sea. This candle can

burn for decades without extinguishing." Taoist Jinlian sniffed and identified the material of the candle.

While talking, Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen lit the candles, and clusters of candlelight burned quietly, bringing more light to the wide main tomb.

Xu Qi'an asked people to pay attention to the pools on both sides to prevent evil things from

hiding in the water; while lighting the candlesticks on the edge of the passage.

The torches cannot last too long and will eventually go out. We have to use something else to

take over the lighting task before they burn out.

Approaching the platform, Xu Qiyan suddenly stopped, because on the steps leading to the platform, there were two rows of soldiers standing, quietly watching the uninvited guests.

Damn, I was scared... Xu Qiyan walked over cursing, listened attentively first to confirm that there was no heartbeat, and then observed these mummies. "It's just a mummies, don't touch it randomly, follow me."

After a warning, he climbed up the steps, stepped over ninety-nine steps, and climbed onto

the platform.

The scenery on the platform first caught Xu Qiyan's eyes. There was a huge bronze coffin in

the center, and four tall figures stood at the four corners of the platform.

These figures held different weapons and stood silently, standing for thousands of years, and

they stood firm. Taoist Master Jinlian glanced at the bronze coffin, moved his eyes away, walked to the edge of

the platform, and examined the nearest mummy.

This mummy was wearing fish scale armor, holding a purple gold hammer, and wearing a

bronze mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Pieces of fish scale armor were connected by red lines, and each piece of fish scale was engraved with strange runes, which were both evil and exquisite.

"This seems to be a Taoist work?" Chu Yuanzhen was also observing the mummy, but the

mummy he was looking at was holding a rusty bronze sword in his hand. After looking at the four mummies and observing their armor, Taoist Master Jinlian

pondered:

"There are indeed traces of Taoism, but I can only guess about this kind of ancient runes. The

one in the west is gold, and the north, south and east are fire, water and wood respectively."

"What about earth?" Xu Qian'an asked.

Taoist Master Jinlian did not answer, but looked at the bronze coffin placed in the center.

"The central main earth!" Chu Yuanzhen whispered: "What does this pattern mean?"

"Is it rebirth?" The wild sorcerer Gongyang Su looked at Zhong Li. Zhong Li nodded and said: "Everything in the world is transformed by the five elements. Ancient people believed that people were buried in tombs after death. The tombs were in the

earth. If the five elements array could be set up in the tombs, the dead would be reborn from

the earth one day."

Everyone listened with relish, but Xu Qi'an suddenly felt a chill on his back and said: "This is not right, Taoist priest, didn't you say that he died in a heavenly calamity and turned

to ashes? There is nothing left, so how can he be reborn? What is the use of this five elements

array?"

Taoist priest Jinlian was stunned at first, then his pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, we have explored the main tomb, there is no need to stay any longer." Xu Qi'an nodded, and was about to announce the retreat, when he suddenly heard a sigh from

the bronze coffin:

"You are here..."

A chill rose from the coccyx and rushed straight to the scalp. Xu Qi'an swallowed his saliva

with a "gulp" sound, turned his head and looked at everyone, but found that although their

faces were serious, they were not panicked.

Taoist Master Jinlian noticed Xu Qi'an's extremely ugly face and asked, "What's wrong with

you?"

"I heard that in the coffin..." Xu Qi'an's lips stammered a few times, and he uttered word by word from his teeth:

"Someone is talking."

A chill rose from everyone's coccyx, and their scalps were numb instantly.

Zhong Li shivered slowly and almost couldn't carry Lina. Chu Yuanzhen's face was ashen, and his voice was low and hurried: "Let's go, leave the main

tomb, leave quickly..."

At this moment, everyone showed a strong desire to survive. Without nonsense, they turned

around and left.

Zha!

At this time, everyone heard a raw and heavy friction sound coming from behind.

That was the sound of the bronze coffin being opened.
