The night was vast, and the cool wind was raging in the vast miscanthus field, pulling the bright white cold light and making them bend towards the opposite valley.
For those who visit late at night, they have to walk against the wind to reach the gate of the ancient tomb. The time spent on this journey is enough for people to be fully prepared.
In a completely dark sky, any faint light on the ground is enough to attract people's attention, not to mention the dozens of weird light spots in front of them.
As time went by, the people in the ancient tomb could clearly see the white phoenixes through several outward ventilation holes. These light spots almost covered the entire miscanthus field, surging in like an army approaching the border.
Sure enough, the figure behind the light spot became clearer as the distance got closer. The lantern in the pursuer's hand was swayed left and right by the wind. They stood in the miscanthus almost as high as a person and listened to the instructions of the leading Taoist.
"Hurry up and look around for the entrance to the tomb. The ancient tomb must be here!" The Taoist shouted, holding a compass in one hand and a lantern in the other.
However, every time they took a step forward, the obstruction from the strong wind became more and more intense. Until their eyes were completely blurred and they had to raise their arms to block the wind, some people began to retreat.
Such strange climate changes are naturally difficult to escape the eyes of the Kan Yu family.
"Master Yin, the entrance to the ancient tomb must be in the mountain ahead!" The white-faced Taoist priest holding a compass said against the wind.
Yin Qianqiu's strong physique allowed him to move forward against the wind like a big mountain, but now the dazzling wind was so weird that he suddenly became worried. No matter how heroic he is on weekdays, he still has to begrudge his own life and shout to the boys around him: "You guys, let the farmer leading the way go to the front and explore the road first!"
After saying that, the four Taiping Taoists drew their swords and forced the farmer they held hostage to move forward. Within half a moment, several shrill screams followed.
"Ah, my feet!"
"What...what happened?"
"It seems like something bit me on my ankle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another Taoist fell down, covering his feet and crying for his father and mother. The Taoist next to him took a lantern and leaned up to take a closer look, and found two animal traps covered with rust. Although this kind of clamp is not fatal, it is more than enough to incapacitate a person.
The farmer walking at the front had a look of panic on his face. Faced with the accusations from everyone, he seemed unable to defend himself. He only said: "I have already told you to pay attention to your steps. There are often hunters hunting nearby. It is normal to have a few iron shelves on the ground!"
Several fellow disciples who were close to the injured Taoist were about to go over and beat up the farmer to vent their anger, but Yin Qianchou quickly stopped him: "Stop! It's you Taoist priests who don't listen to good advice, why do you still blame others? We just care Just be careful when walking where he has walked!"
After saying this, the hostility in the group just subsided and they were able to continue walking in the dark night.
Following the experienced guides, dozens of people led by Yin Qianchou and Lei Heng quickly arrived at the ancient tomb. They first built a bonfire on the spot to cope with the cold night, and then sent people to search for the entrance to the tomb along the mountain, and gradually surrounded the entire mountain.
After a while, someone discovered a dark mysterious cave from behind a patch of weeds and thorns. He thought that the entrance to the cave was almost the entrance to the tomb, so he hurried back to report the good news.
After Yin Qianchou heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately sent several Taiping Taoists to follow the leading farmer to explore the way first, while the others squatted outside the cave to wait.
They gathered around the fire, ate wine and sang songs, all thinking that their work was done, when several extremely miserable shouts came from the cave.
"Ah ah... it's a ghost, it's a fierce ghost! Uh..."
The sound passed for a while, but no one came out of the cave. At this time, Yin Qianchou and Lei Heng knew that the people sent in must have been framed by those vicious and cruel fugitives.
Therefore, Yin Qianchou planned to send his "meat ticket", let E Feiying who came with him go in front, and then send a few boys in to take a look. But at this time, a feeling of self-danger lingered among them.
After the order was issued, no one responded?
Originally, the Desert Golden Sword was thinking that E Feiying would let Bai Feng and others miss and kill them, and finally be able to frustrate the enemy's spirit. It's just that the current situation makes him particularly embarrassed.
"Master Yin, there are many mechanisms in this ancient tomb. If there are any walking corpses or monsters, if we attack rashly at this time, it is tantamount to death! Why not wait until tomorrow morning to make plans?" Lei Heng pointed to the deep cave, He vowed to say: "As long as we stay here, they will be unable to fly!"
"Why, you guys can't bully me because of the large number of people?" Yin Qianchou said, then took the thick rope that tied up E Feiying, "I tell you, young master, if it weren't for Eunuch Mei's order, let me manage the affairs properly. , I can’t wait to teach you cowardly guys a lesson.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a certain Taiping Dao boy sneered: "Who do you think you are? You only have the token of a great eunuch, but you can't even dispatch a single soldier or general! Hahaha... a desert thief, Are you still trying to be like a dragon and a phoenix?"
"Don't think that I dare not kill you, young master!"
After speaking, Yin Qianchou was about to swing away with his sword. Lei Heng on the side quickly stopped him and said: "Master Yin, we don't want to die innocently. How about you go in first and have a look? Anyway, Master Yin is very powerful in martial arts. I will definitely be able to escape unscathed!"
After Yin Qianchou heard this, he just replied "Okay" angrily, then took the lighting lantern and pushed E Feiying into the cave. It had only been a moment since he stepped into the cave. Desert Golden Sword immediately regretted it. Later he realized that this was Lei Heng's method of provoking generals. However, because of his face and not wanting to return without success, he could only continue to move forward.
Soon, the two of them came across an open stone door. Behind the door was a gloomy atmosphere and the road was narrow. If a capable person were to guard the middle of the road, they would probably be in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Such a situation is daunting, so even the Desert Golden Sword dare not take another step forward.
I saw him standing in front of the tomb door, holding the ignorant and tired girl in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Bai Feng, the wife of the E family is in my hands. If you want her back, give her Murong Yan in exchange. This way, everyone will avoid Fighting and fighting is really the best of both worlds!"
After speaking for a while, there was no response. Yin Qianchou planned to go all out and provoke the other party to show up. He immediately took E Feiying in front of him and moved his hands up and down, molesting her body, forcing her to moan weakly, almost as if she was dreaming: "My Lady E, my Lady E , how can your skin be so soft and moist? It’s a pity that your lover ignores you..."
For a moment, Yin Qianchou felt a flash of silver light before his eyes, and a hidden weapon suddenly flew from behind the door. He subconsciously hid behind E Feiying and used her body as a shield to block the blow. Then Yin Qianqiu took a closer look at the hidden weapon and found that its shape was exactly the same as the poisonous needle that had been in his body before in Yanzi Town. He immediately pulled himself together, threw the poisoned E Feiying on the ground, and drew his sword to face the enemy.
"Come out and hand over that witch!"
"Hahaha..." A sneer slowly came from behind the stone door, and then a half-hidden and half-revealed body appeared there, "I said Master Yin, you don't think that woman is really useful to me, do you? If that's the case , how could I leave her in Lingcheng and come here by myself? Just now, I didn’t care about her life or death and just threw poisonous needles at you? "
"What?"
"If you don't retreat, the next needle will be aimed at your life gate and your eyeballs!"
Having said that, the Desert Golden Sword seemed to be suffering from a disease. When he saw the poisonous needle, he backed away in fear, and finally ran away in panic.
