Before entering the main tomb.
Jin An thought about countless scenes in the main tomb chamber.
But when he entered the main tomb chamber, Jin An was stunned for a moment.
"Why is this place still collapsed?"
"It's over. The main tomb is buried, so all the clues are gone."
The old Taoist priest's surprised shouts echoed in the dark tomb.
you do not say.
Just as the old Taoist priest said, the tomb in front of me has collapsed into ruins. A large amount of earth and stone collapsed from above the head and fell down, destroying the entire main tomb.
The huge stones that fell down were each larger than a millstone, weighing several thousand kilograms or tens of thousands of kilograms, blocking most of the main tomb chamber.
"No wonder the pig iron stele used to suppress the sarcophagus in the middle hall was smashed. Mother, such a loud noise was worse than the rolling of the earth dragon. It is estimated that the ground shook and the mountains collapsed at that time. The middle hall closest to the main tomb chamber This is probably how the pig iron monument was knocked to the ground."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, another doubt arose in his mind.
Holding a torch in his hand, he looked at the main tomb chamber that had completely collapsed into ruins, and said in shock: "If the pig iron tablet fell by itself, then did the sarcophagus lid fall by itself in the chaos?"
"Or is there really something unclean inside, and it escaped from the sarcophagus?"
After the initial surprise.
Faced with the temporary loss of clues and all clues, everyone began to gather and discuss whether the main tomb collapsed due to geological reasons or man-made blasting?
And looking at the main tomb chamber collapsed into ruins, everyone also understood
"Looking at the thick layer of dust on the fallen rocks in the ruins, the main tomb must have collapsed a long time ago, and it was not bombed by our group of people who went down to the Yinyi River. It is very likely that it was the first batch of tomb robbers from the Yinshan Taoist group. If it was really the main tomb that was blown up by Taoist Yinshan's group of tomb robbers, why did they blow up the tomb?"
"It's impossible for them to blow up the tomb without saying a word."
"Are you running away from something? Or are you destroying this place on purpose, not wanting other outsiders to get any important clues?"
The captain held a torch and stood at the door of the main tomb. He did not step in easily. He casually glanced at the ruins in front of him and expressed his own opinion.
Kuixing Kidou's eyes lit up: "Is it to cover up the clues about the cornucopia?"
The captain glanced at the sullen man who was kicking and fighting with Kuixing, who was a little obsessed with it: "It's only three things. This is the last time I'll kick you to wake you up, so that you won't die here accidentally due to being obsessed with others, being reckless, and killing people and money. In the ancient tomb of the Lord of Teng Kingdom."
"No one has ever seen the legendary thing like the Cornucopia Basin. It is only occasionally mentioned in some unofficial histories or legends that are not recognized by orthodoxy. Therefore, I kindly advise you to start as soon as possible." Dispel this unrealistic fantasy.”
"Even if there really is a gathering basin, not even the leader of a country thousands of years ago, the Lord of Shanzhou, could use the luck of a country to suppress an evil thing like the gathering basin that cannot be controlled by human beings. Instead, he died miserably in the end. A miserable end. For people whose destiny is not tough enough for this kind of thing, or whose destiny is not tougher than the luck of a country, I advise you to give up greed as soon as possible."
Kuixing kicked Dou and smiled: "There seems to be something in General Duwei's words. If in today's world, a country's fortune can be greater than that of the leader of Shanzhou Kingdom, it is the country that unifies the world and rules tens of millions of people. A holy king."
General Duwei's eyes flashed coldly as he glanced at the big man with an eyebrow raised by Kuixing.
General Duwei had a strong energy and locked Kuixing in a kicking fight on the spot.
General Duwei's strong spirit as a martial arts practitioner and the long-established official aura of the imperial court officials suppressed Kuixing Kidou, who was just a countryman and a commoner, and did not dare to act rashly.
On weekdays, he seems to have a gentle temper and looks like a scholar with an elegant temperament. That's because you haven't touched his bottom line yet. If he is angered, the general wearing a murderous uniform will have the murderous aura of a military general, which will make people breathless as if they are facing a majestic mountain.
Only then did everyone become alert.
Although the captain general in front of them was chatting and laughing with Jin An, making them lower their guard, in fact, this man was the real god of killing. He led his troops to slaughter bandits all year round and came to their strongholds to train. He killed many people. Bandits and bandits in Wuzhou Prefecture do not dare to run rampant.
"I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. If I hear someone dare to bully the superior again and criticize the benevolence of the current saint king, don't blame me for being rude."
General Duwei, this is a warning.
He was also putting out the fire in time and saving the lives of everyone present.
After all, the crime of deceiving the emperor can range from beheading and exile of the nine clans to the most severe crime of killing the nine clans and beheading the whole family.
Kuixing Kidou looked into the captain's cold eyes, and he was frightened. He woke up from the greed of the cornucopia, and finally shut his mouth honestly this time, and never mentioned the word cornucopia again.
Jin An and the old Taoist priest both shook their heads.
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
This person.
Be sure to square your ass.
Some things are not destined to be yours, so don't be greedy.
A tree will die if its roots are removed.
But people can live if they move their buttocks. If it's not yours, don't worry about it blindly.
People have seven emotions and six desires, and it is normal for people to be greedy, but if you let desire control your heart and lose your rationality, regardless of whether you can eat it or not, you will try to swallow the elephant, just like this Kuixing kicking and fighting, and you will not shed tears until you see the coffin. After being humiliated in front of the general, he woke up from his greed.
Fortunately, Kuixing Kidou woke up early.
The captain also left a kindness.
Otherwise, it will not be a disastrous encounter, but a bruised head and a bloody head, which will fall to the ground.
Seeing that the atmosphere was dull and depressing for a while, the brother with the most problems among the two mourning brothers asked curiously: "Yinshan Taoist tomb robber? Does General Duwei know something?"
General Duwei did not immediately answer the mourner's question. Instead, they each glanced at the abbot of Bailong Temple, who had his hands clasped together, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his heart. He looked at Jin'an who was discussing the main tomb chamber with the old Taoist priest as usual. One glance.
It was only then that the murderous power of the imperial official in General Duwei was put away. The oppressive atmosphere in the tomb dissipated a little, and General Duwei returned to his normal expression. It seemed that he had really turned around and forgotten what happened just now. .
The captain said: "Do you still remember the case of the Dragon King coming ashore?"
"That night, I fought against the Dragon King in person. What came ashore that day was not a Dragon King at all, but a group of tomb robbers who had been dead for a long time. These tomb robbers were controlled by others after their death and became puppets controlled by others. They deliberately created The case of the Dragon King coming ashore is an attempt to disturb the people's hearts and confuse the ignorant people. That's why Mr. Fu Yin summoned all the famous people in the world to assist Mr. Fu Yin and went down to the Yinyi River to settle the case of the Dragon King. "
"As for why I guessed that there were Yinshan Taoists among these tomb robbers, it was precisely because of the water monkey corpses that Kuixing had encountered in Thousand Corpses Cave before. These water monkeys are water monsters that can only be raised by Banshan Taoists. .”
actually.
The captain general had one more thing to say.
He deliberately glanced at the abbot of Bailong Temple and Jin An before speaking, because the abbot of Bailong Temple told him about the clues about water monkeys and tomb robbers under the Yinyi River.
"Old Taoist, what are you doing?"
In the darkness, Jin An suddenly realized that something was wrong with the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest holding a torch in one hand had already secretly dug his other hand into the Tai Chi Bagua bag he had been carrying on his shoulder, quietly took out a handful of glutinous rice, and said nervously: "Little brother, follow me. The soldiers who went to the captain's tomb have been holding up their shields to block us, right?"
Jin An nodded.
The old Taoist priest added: "Behind those soldiers is the captain alone, right?"
Jin An and the old Taoist priest had cooperated for so long, how could they not have some tacit understanding? He asked the old Taoist priest if he had discovered anything, and if he had anything to say, he said it quickly. Don't worry, it's as smelly and long as the old lady's foot binding.
The old Taoist priest subconsciously took a few steps closer to Jin'an. The old Taoist priest murmured in his heart. I don't know why, but he felt particularly safe and warm like a spring breeze around the little brother. It felt safer to be close to the little brother. Then he said nervously: "Little brother , you see, those soldiers are at the front, and the captain is in charge of commanding behind the soldiers. The number of people in our third row are you, the little brother, Lao Dao, Xiejian, the goddess, the two brothers of the mourner, and Kuixing Kidou. , and the three monks from Bailong Temple, ten people in total, twenty soles, right..."
"But when the general was angry just now, I lowered my head and counted our feet out of boredom. How come there are eleven of us, twenty-two paws, and an extra pair of feet?"
Jin An listened to the old Taoist priest's words.
Lower your head and count carefully.
It was one, two, three... eleven people, and indeed there was an extra pair of legs among them!
Although the old Taoist priest didn't speak loudly, he didn't deliberately hide it. In the already quiet ancient tomb, any slightest movement would make a loud noise, so the old Taoist priest's words immediately aroused everyone's vigilance.
Just now, they were temporarily distracted by the conversation between General Duwei and Kuixing, and General Duwei's anger. They didn't even notice when there was an extra person beside them.
call--
Strings of torches were shining fiercely towards each other, and everyone was looking for someone to look for. There was an extra person next to them.
Uh-huh!
A black shadow flashed away quickly, disappeared from everyone's eyes, and ran into the crowd of cavalry guards.
Everyone who was about to take action did not want to accidentally injure the cavalry guards, so they were blocked and missed the opportunity, allowing the black figure to quickly run into the ruins.
On the contrary, it was General Duwei who reacted fastest.
He unloaded the crossbow hung from the waist of the cavalry guards beside him. This kind of crossbow was most suitable for killing in a narrow range.
Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
The captain moved skillfully and fired three crossbow arrows in succession. The last crossbow arrow finally nailed the foot of the fast black shadow in the darkness.
It made his originally quick movements pause.
At this time, everyone reacted and hurriedly shined the torches in their hands.
Look at the results.
Hiss!
A few people looked condensed.
Where is the person? It is clearly the lower body of a dead person.
The person only has two legs below the waist and abdomen, and without the torso above the waist and abdomen, he looks like a person who has been cut in the waist and died miserably.
The blood has been drained.
But there wasn't much dirt and dust on the clothes on his body, and he looked like someone who had just been cut in half and died tragically.
The dead have no sense of pain. The crossbow arrows shot into the soles of the feet cannot really trap the lower body of the dead body, but only make it move. With a slight exertion on the soles of his feet, he dropped a cloth shoe and nimbly got into the main tomb chamber and collapsed. disappeared from the ruins.
"Chase!"
It is rare for a new clue to appear, so naturally everyone will not let this clue escape.
pity.
There were too many rubbles and rocks in the main tomb, and the captain fired two or more crossbow arrows, but none of them hit the dead man who was left running around with only his lower body.
"It seems to have gotten under the rocks around here."
When the crowd chased him to a corner of the ruins of the main tomb, they lost sight of the dead man with his lower body.
"Separately search for it to see where it has hidden!" The captain gave the order, and the cavalry guards began to disperse and search.
However!
Taoism! Find something in your bag!
Under the astonished gazes of the captain and others, Jin An seemed to be doing a magic trick on the lower body of the missing man. He lifted up the lost cloth shoe on the rubble of the ruins and smashed it to the ground.
"Change!"
"Change!"
"Change!"
A person actually transformed into the cloth shoe that had been torn by a crossbow arrow!
The dead man in the lower body still wanted to struggle and escape at this time, but the old Taoist priest and the sharp sword who often followed Jin An to steal pears, peaches and apples reacted the fastest.
The old Taoist priest took out a roll of corpse-tying rope from his Tai Chi Bagua bag, and with the force of sharpening his sword, he instantly tied up the lower body of the dead man with a huge five-belly strap.
The tacitly coordinated process of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple trio was so skillful that it was dazzling. Before they could see the situation clearly, they had already tied up the lower body of the dead man.
Everyone was dizzy and dumbfounded.
"Brother, why do I have the misconception that these three people from Wu Zang Taoist Temple are professional tomb robbers, and we are the real amateurs..."
The black-robed brother, the mourner with the most problems, muttered quietly.
"How strange! How wonderful! How mysterious!"
General Duwei was amazed by Jin An's move: "Taoist Master Jin An, could this be the Taoist technique of Wu Zang Taoist Temple?"
"The world is so big, it's true that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I wonder what the name of this Taoist technique of the five internal organs temple is? In addition to changing the dead, can Taoist Jin'an also change the living?"
The younger brother who was a mourner in black robe suddenly changed his expression after hearing the captain's words: "Making a living person? Isn't that just stealing someone!"
"?"
"!"
Jin An's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at his younger brother among the mourners with a few black lines hanging down his forehead.
The captain also turned around and looked: "?"
The abbot of Bailong Temple also looked: "?"
Monk Kongming and Hongzhao also looked: "?"
Everyone turned and looked collectively: "?"
The two mourning brothers became the focus of attention for a moment, which frightened the mourning brother in white robes until his face turned pale. He quickly and wisely came to the rescue of his stupid brother: "How can that be called stealing? That's called stealing." You and I love each other and Hongxing goes out of the way, and everyone pushes against the wall."
"..." The collective was speechless.
Putting aside the mourning brothers, who were getting more and more sad the more they argued, everyone now turned their attention to the lower body of the dead man who was tied up by the old Taoist priest's rope, which was as big as pork belly.
This bundle of corpse rope is no ordinary hemp rope.
It is a tough hemp rope that has been soaked in Sanyang wine, cinnabar, rooster blood, black dog blood... soaked repeatedly with the most yang things in the world. Every rope has been soaked thoroughly. The more it struggles, the tighter it becomes. Tie tightly.
Several grown men kept talking.
Not to mention the suppressed Yin Qi of the dead.
"Now take a closer look, why do you think the clothes on this dead man look so familiar to me?" At close range, the old Taoist priest shouted in surprise.
"No need to guess, this is the body of the ferryman from the underworld. He died in the ancient tomb."
