"But this place is still far away from the Yuzhou Shrine. Wouldn't it be too weird to throw the body here after death?" Ji Lanqian said, walking towards the corpse pit.
The blind man caught her in time.
"You don't need to look at it. Except for the bird bones inside, they belong to humans. They should be the divine clan that Master Ba mentioned."
The burial pit underneath was very smelly, and there was really nothing else besides this.
Ji Lanqian threw a handkerchief to Qi Tiezui, "It's not good to wait forever. We don't have too many supplies. If we crawl along this passage, we can at least get out alive."
That's all.
The blind man lowered the rope, trying not to step on the bones underneath.
Qi Tiezui is the most particular person. He will not encounter this unlucky thing at all. He can climb into the passage smoothly and smell the unpleasant smell of blood.
Master Hei opened the way in front. The passage was not too small and could be walked by bending down.
Ji Lanqian walked last to avoid accidents to the incompetent Qi Tiezui.
Mr. Ba walked in the center, his nose and mouth covered by a handkerchief. The handkerchief smelled of perfume, which was the scent that Miss Ji often had.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blush slightly.
Ji Lanqian pushed him. She lost all her airs as a young lady and looked like a ruffian. "What are you thinking about? Let's go. My aunt is about to be suffocated in here."
Qi Tiezui responded in a low voice, "Okay."
It turns out that Miss Ji is just pretending, she is not gentle at all.
The black blind man corrected her in front, "What words did I use when I called you a young lady? You will no longer be a human being after you are buried in this grave, right?"
Master Hei was reminding her that she would have to continue to be the eldest daughter of the Ji family after coming out of here. This persona had completely collapsed, and the Nine Sects would be suspicious.
Although this is her nature, but...it's not okay if she doesn't look like a young lady.
Ji Lanqian smiled lowly from behind, "If my father hadn't been Commander Ji, I wouldn't have pretended to be a daughter of a warlord. No matter what my temper, I can fight and resist. Don't call me a heroine."
New China was established, the war was over, and there was no need for warlords' daughters in this world.
The black blind man clicked his tongue, "Yes, I hope the eighth master of the Qi family can keep it a secret. The eldest lady also has her own reasons."
Qi Tiezui said "hmm", but in fact he was already thinking about how to tell Lord Fo about this.
It's definitely not the first time Ji Lanqian has jumped into a tomb. She looks like she is very experienced.
If he hadn't known that she was Commander Ji's precious daughter, Master Ba would have suspected that someone was pretending to be her.
This passage was too long, and it took nearly two hours of walking and stopping.
Ji Lanqian felt that she had passed through the entire mountain and reached the other side.
The black blind man led the way while complaining, "If I had known I wouldn't let you learn antique appreciation in Germany, I should have let you study art, cultivate yourself, and be full of art. How wonderful."
"Come on, it's too late to regret it." Ji Lanqian said.
Seeing that a glimmer of light finally appeared in the passage, Hei Ye squinted his eyes and was too lazy to worry about it anymore, because he couldn't raise Ji Lanqian from an early age.
I just need to improve my memory. If I have the opportunity to raise a child again, I will definitely let her learn art, cultivate herself, and cultivate her character.
Seeing that they were approaching the exit, Master Hei said, "The exit is ahead. I'll go out to check the situation first. You and Master Ba will wait first."
After saying that, he walked out first.
The two of them were left in a somewhat solemn atmosphere.
Qi Tiezui leaned against the stone wall, his hair slightly messy, he untied his handkerchief, and gasped with his lips open. The smell was finally gone.
Ji Lanqian's flashlight shined on the stone wall and she could see clearly that the man next to her did not look like a man in his twenties at all. He was a bit too delicate and frail, but he seemed to be well-behaved. With this appearance, he really had no choice.
Realizing that her eyes had been on his face, Qi Tiezui raised his hand to wipe his face and asked hesitantly, "Miss Ji, is there something on my face?"
Her eyes were deep and she blurted out, "Yes, it's a bit pretty."
Qi Tiezui paused and turned his head away from looking at her, "There's no need to tease me like this."
She realized that she had made a mistake, so she didn't explain much. It looked good, and she didn't say anything wrong.
Among the nine sects, Chen Pi's Si was the youngest, with cold features, a young man's ruthlessness, and an aggressive good-looking appearance. Ji Lanqian admitted this, but it was just not to her liking.
In the end, she still thought the gentle and elegant Qi Baye was the most stunning.
It's just that this fortune teller is too careful and knows how to measure his fortune.
Not easy to grasp.
"You guys, come out. This is an underground sacrificial site. There is no one there for the time being." The black blind man shook his flashlight into the passage.
Qi Tiezui quickly got up and went out.
Behind her, Ji Lanqian couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She ran so fast, as if she was hiding from herself.
After exiting the passage, there is an underground sacrificial site with small stones piled around. The top stone has a symbol called a mourning bird painted with cinnabar.
On the sacrificial platform in the center, there is a stone sculpture with lifelike birds.
The blind man turned the light of the flashlight on, and then raised his eyebrows, "This is the first time I saw the full face of the mourning bird. It has two heads. One head looks in front, and the other looks behind."
There is a stone table placed under the sacrificial altar, with candles, cinnabar, talismans, magical instruments, etc. placed on it.
Qi Tiezui observed it for a while, then lit the incense on the side, and wisps of green smoke came out.
"Master Qi Ba, are you going to offer incense to this mourning bird?" Ji Lanqian said from behind.
"When you go out, you must always accumulate virtue." Qi Baye not only offered incense, but also bowed respectfully.
Ji Lanqian was not afraid of this. Thanks to Master Ba, she lived in Qi's house and met many little ghosts.
So brave.
Master Hei could tell that he would die if she didn't tease him.
In order to maintain a good relationship between people, he shouted, "Xiaolan, come here and take a look at this. It seems to be a rubbing of a death inscription carved on the back of a person who just died."
Ji Lanqian raised her feet and walked over, obviously very interested in the death article.
The death sentence was carved on the stone wall, and it was painted again with cinnabar. It was still a new trace. This time the description should have been just a few days ago. There was another line of words below the death sentence.
Ji Lanqian read each word word by word.
"I, the Shenge clan, are willing to worship the sacred bird Yijiao and sacrifice my life for it."
"It's amazing, it turns out this guy's name is Yique." Hei Ye pushed up his sunglasses as if he realized something.
Qi Baye finished lighting the incense and spoke slowly, "The bird is shaped like a chicken, with a white head and tiger-like claws. It is called a monster. The one carved on the sacrificial platform is called a mourning bird. A strange bird that can curse future generations.”
Ji Lanqian looked back at the man in the coat, "It seems that no matter what kind of situation it is, it is unlucky."
Of course it's unlucky. According to records from ancient times, these two species are both monsters and magical birds.
The brains of the Shenge clan are definitely broken.
