Zhang Mazi was also startled when he saw a figure flashing past.
However, with his cultivation level, he is naturally not afraid of the so-called monsters.
I have been in this world for so long and I have never heard of anything ghostly.
Being able to appear in this tomb at this time is probably related to either the remains of the immortal or to these gangs. Naturally, this clue of survival cannot be let go.
So Zhang Mazi flew into the corridor without any hesitation.
At first, everyone thought Zhang Mazi was boring and scaring everyone, but when they saw him rushing into the corridor, they realized something was wrong and followed him from behind.
Tombs built with modern mechanical equipment are different. They are not so closed. Two people can even run side by side in the corridor.
Zhang Mazi was extremely fast, and after a few flashes like a ghost, he distanced himself from everyone.
Yu Ye was secretly surprised. Not many people he knew could achieve this speed.
Fortunately, there were lights leading the way, and Zhang Mazi could still be seen.
Even so, Zhang Mazi did not catch up with the ghost in front of him, and his speed was obviously not slow.
In the corridor, Zhang Mazi could barely see the man's thin figure, and his black clothes were fluttering behind him like a ghost.
Fortunately, the scale of the tomb was limited. After the light illuminated a huge space, Zhang Mazi also slowed down.
It seems that we have arrived at the main tomb chamber.
However, he saw the skinny ghost figure in front of him, dodged and stepped on the wall, and then used his strength to fly past Zhang Mazi.
Seeing that he was about to rush into the corridor next to him, Zhang Mazi naturally would not give him such a chance.
The structure in the tomb is not complicated, but there are still two ear chambers on the left and right. If this guy escapes like a parkour, then today will be considered a failure.
Zheng——
Thinking of this, Zhang Mazi ducked and drew out the black knife from his waist.
The dark red energy gathered instantly, preparing to destroy the tunnel leading to the ear chamber.
However, just after he pulled out the black knife, the thin black figure suddenly stopped and echoed:
"Stop, stop, stop, don't do it!"
Zhang Mazi stretched out his hand and stopped the black knife in mid-air, but his feet did not stop. Taking advantage of the thin black shadow to stand still, Zhang Mazi came in two steps and put the black knife on the black shadow's neck.
At this time, Yu Ye and others had already rushed into the main tomb chamber. Seeing that Zhang Mazi had really subdued this man, they quickly surrounded him.
As there were more lighting rods and flashlights around, the entire tomb became brighter, and everyone finally saw the true form of the skinny ghost figure.
He was a skinny old man with extremely fair skin. It would be no exaggeration to describe him as skinny and bones. The black clothes worn on the old man looked like they were being held up by a white clothes drying rack.
Despite his haggard figure, there is no look of weakness on his face. His eyes are bright and clear, and his gray hair is flowing behind him. It is not surprising that he would be mistaken for a female ghost when he goes out at night.
Not knowing whether the person in front of him was a friend or an enemy, Zhang Mazi did not take action rashly, but because the old man was too fast, he did not put down the knife.
He asked in as polite a tone as possible:
"I wonder who my father-in-law is? Why does he appear in this ancient tomb?"
The old man was obviously relieved when he saw Zhang Mazi put away the knife in time, but it was not because he was worried about his own safety. When he heard the inquiry, he replied:
"Me? Of course I am the owner here."
The voice sounded quite old, but it was full of vitality.
Not only Ji Qinglin, but also Yu Ye and others around him frowned when they heard this.
The owner here? The owner of the tomb? Still alive?
Everyone thought of the same thing: Is it possible that the remains of immortals really have the effect of bringing people back to life?
Yu Ye couldn't wait to ask:
"Are you the owner here? The owner of the tomb? Could it be that you were resurrected because of the immortal's body?"
The old man was obviously confused when he heard this, scratched his head and said:
"What resurrection? I have never died."
Surrounded in the center, the old man did not feel nervous. Seeing that these people became more confused after hearing his answer, the old man stretched out his hand to push Zhang Mazi's black knife away and explained:
"I didn't build this tomb. I thought this tomb was good, so I lived in this tomb. I am the owner of the tomb here. Is it so difficult to understand?"
It turned out to be an old man living in the tomb, and he thought the remains of immortals had some ability to revive the dead.
Chi Ye, who was equally disappointed, couldn't help but complain:
"You're just talking nonsense. How can anyone live in an ancient tomb?"
The old man was quite unhappy when he heard this and glared:
"What? The ancient tomb is warm in winter and cool in summer. It's stable and quiet and doesn't cost money. What's wrong with living here?"
Chiye was so angry that he didn't know how to reply for a moment.
I thought there was nothing more spooky than an ancient tomb. Even if you were sleeping on the roadside, no one would take the initiative to sleep in the tomb.
But with such ability, and also liking to live alone in a tomb, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Yuye said curiously:
"Old man, your movement speed is not slow. With such strength, why do you need to stay in the tomb here?"
"Hobby! Isn't it okay?"
"Ha, okay, okay, so we are all bothered. I wonder if I can ask you about the things in the tomb?"
Seeing that the little girl Yu Ye was quite polite, the old man glanced around and said:
"I don't think I know you guys yet?"
"We are all from Gu Nan Village next door. We heard that the remains of immortals were found in this ancient tomb, so we came here out of curiosity. We never wanted to disturb the old man. May I ask him his name?"
The old man frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to answer this question.
However, Zhang Mazi, who was directly in front, chanted to himself:
"The cold wind blows gently, and thousands of corpses can be seen rising and falling."
Jiang Chen from behind nodded and said:
"There are so many white bones, there is no right or wrong here."
The skinny old man smiled and continued:
"Yuyou Hongchen, Shixiong is guilty! I didn't expect to meet someone I know in this barren mountain. It's really not easy!"
As soon as they saw the old man's strange movements, Yu Ye and others realized that this man was anything but ordinary.
But he couldn't figure out who the old man was. At this moment, after listening to Zhang Mazi and his senior sister, he suddenly remembered a person mentioned in Jiuxiong's information that he had read.
Corpse hero Yan Tong.
There is no specific appearance of this person in the information I have seen. I only know that he looks like a life-seeking ghost. He is based in the Tomb Mountain of the West Sea. He has become a corpse hero since he was young. He has never failed in corpse cultivation for thirty years.
It is said that they even sleep in tombs with the dead.
But Yuye and others never expected that this big boss would not only sleep in his own tomb, but also come out to try other people's tombs just like staying in a hotel.
The words spoken by Zhang Mazi and his senior sister were engraved on Xihai Tomb Mountain, and the old man's reaction was obviously acknowledging it.
She never thought that she would meet the corpse hero Yan Tong here. Yu Ye hurriedly saluted and said:
"It turns out it's senior Shi Xiong Yan Tong, disrespectful!"
Originally, Yan Tong felt that the tomb was a bit stuffy, so he went out to the door to get some fresh air. He originally thought that it would be better to come back and sleep if there were more things to do than to do less things, but he was chased directly into the house by a group of juniors.
As a corpse hero, Yan Tong was naturally not afraid of taking action. He just felt that the tomb was really good and it would be a pity for Zhang Mazi to destroy it with a knife, so he reached out to stop it, knowing the situation clearly.
"It doesn't matter. Are you here to find the immortal's body? This place has been evacuated a long time ago. I haven't seen the body you mentioned."
After saying that, he walked to the stone platform in the center of the main tomb where the coffin was originally placed.
At this time, there was an air mattress on top, and it was obvious that Yan Tong was sleeping on it before.
Zhang Mazi explained:
"We know that the immortal's body was taken away. We just want to find out if there are any other clues about the immortal's body. Let's do a simple search. Would you mind, senior?"
Yan Tong waved his hand and said:
"You can do whatever you want, I just treat you as guests, but if you want to find some written information, you can look at those things."
As he spoke, he pointed to a pile of gravel in the corner.
"Those are?"
Yan Tong lay on the stone bed and explained leisurely:
"It should be the life of the previous owner of this tomb. I originally wanted to take a look, but when I came in, I found that it had been beaten to pieces. It's a pity. Forget about robbing the tomb, destroying things that can't be stolen is really too much. ”
Zhang Mazi thought to himself that you who occupy other people's tombs seem to be more outrageous than this, right?
When I came to the corner of the wall, I found a piece of broken bluestone, and I could vaguely see many neat carvings, indicating that there must have been a lot of writing on it before.
Zhang Mazi touched the mask and said curiously:
"They didn't take something so important away."
Yu Ye frowned and guessed:
"Maybe they thought it was cumbersome, so they only took photos. It was a bit difficult for us. It may not be easy to recover from this."
Fan Yu, who was behind him, pushed up his glasses and said:
"It's finally my time to make a difference, leave it to me!"
As he spoke, he took out the tablet computer from his bag, used the stand to stand the mini camera aside, and scanned the rocks in front of him.
As the program in the tablet computer runs, what is scanned is the fracture marks of the stone and the beginning of numbering combinations.
Fan Yu began to slowly stack the stones on the ground according to the combination.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jiang Chen slowly walked to the side of Shi Xiong Yan Tong and said:
"Senior, since we have met, please leave your contact information so that I can challenge you for the position of Corpse Hero another day."
Corpse hero Yan Tong smiled and said:
"If you want to challenge, you can go directly to Xihai Graveyard Mountain. My junior brother is there. If you win, he can talk about challenging me."
Seeing the other party's contempt, Jiang Chen snorted and reached out to hold Shixiong Yan Tong's arm.
Yan Tong, who was originally preparing to dodge, felt the extremely pure corpse energy, and immediately frowned and said:
"Oh? I made a mistake. I didn't expect to encounter a corpse cultivator in this barren mountain. With your cultivation level, you are indeed capable of fighting, but for now, you definitely still have no chance of winning?"
"It doesn't matter, sooner or later I will get your title of Corpse Hero."
"It seems that you guys are probably not from Gunan Village, right?"
Yan Tong said as he suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Mazi's wrist next to him, wanting to test the overall strength of this group of people. After all, the guy in the mask was chasing him the most closely just now, and it seemed that his cultivation level was higher.
However, as soon as he grabbed his arm and felt it, Yan Tong showed an even more surprised look than before.
"Hiss! Are you a human or a ghost?"
Zhang Mazi withdrew his arm and replied:
"You who live in the tomb must be more like a ghost than me, right?"
"That's not what I meant, little brother, your cultivation is fine, but your body is not very healthy."
"Your old eyes are really poisonous. You went crazy in practicing Qigong before I was born, and your body has only just recovered."
"Healed? Where has your body healed?"
Just as he was talking, Fan Yu, who was piecing together stones over there, shouted:
"It's done! Come and take a look, everyone."
Thank you for your reading and support! (The original owner of the tomb: all the tomb robbers died)
