The light of the flashlight shone on the coffin, and the nails on it were particularly conspicuous.
After the entire wooden coffin is nailed, the soul cannot be reincarnated and can only linger at the entrance of the tomb to intimidate those who fight against it.
"Lan Lan, have you finished reading? What's going on inside?" Qi Tiezui waited anxiously outside the narrow passage.
The sound came inside, but Ji Lanqian didn't respond. She took a rough look at the layout inside, and decided to pull out all the coffin nails and release the soul first.
Xue Hou saw her way of playing with the talisman and was convinced of her, so he also helped her.
Outside, Jiang He leaned against the stone wall and chuckled.
"Master Ba, you have gone too far."
Although he also heard that the Buddha of Jiumen asked Ji Lanqian to live in Jiumen temporarily, in the final analysis, it was just to protect an eldest lady, and they could just protect her from death.
To be able to act like Qi Baye and panic when you can't see him is indeed a bit too much.
Qi Tiezui glared at him sideways and lowered his voice, "You are cooperating with the Wu family, and you should also know the importance of Ji Lanqian to Jiumen. This mission has been hampered, so you need to protect her."
Although Jiang He seems to be unreliable, he still has a certain degree of credibility in the industry.
Otherwise, Wu Laogou would not cooperate with a mercenary organization.
Jiang He saw through it without saying anything, and still looked very indifferent.
"Okay, one more person isn't enough for this trip. What about you, Mr. Ba? Don't you need our protection?"
"No need." Qi Tiezui responded.
The Eighth Master has been under the protection of Jiumen for many years. In some large-scale tombs, the Buddha will come out to take him with him, which makes him unable to contribute much.
In fact, without these protective gods, he could survive in the tomb alone, otherwise how could he obtain the identity of the Eighth Master of the Nine Sects.
Jiang He shrugged, indicating that he knew.
Here, Ji Lanqian and Xue Hou have come out of the narrow passage.
Qi Tiezui immediately stepped forward to check whether Ji Lanqian was injured.
She reminded Qi Tiezui in a low voice behind his back.
"I'm capable of fighting, you don't have to worry."
Qi Tiezui muttered, "My Miss Ji, I know you are capable, but it is also my responsibility to protect you. This fight is too dangerous. If I had known better, I would not have brought you here."
Ji Lanqian pursed the corners of her mouth and raised them slightly.
She enjoyed this feeling of being cared for too much.
"Boss, there are tomb-guarding spirits inside, the most ferocious kind. As we step through the tomb passage in front of us, those things will probably be following behind us." Xue Hou told Jiang He.
Ji Lanqian also looked at Qi Baye and said, "Looking at the size of the coffin, it should be a baby less than one year old. Is there any way to save these souls?"
Ba Ye sighed.
It is really cruel to use the spirits of infants as guardians of tombs. These babies are usually bought and then placed in coffins to starve to death, which is why the resentment is so heavy.
"It's okay to be saved, but what does the coffin look like?" Qi Tiezui.
"The pattern on the coffin almost matches the lotus on the wall. There are coffin nails on it. I read in the book that the function of the coffin nails is to seal the soul forever. Brother Erhou and I have just removed the coffin nails. Lost."
She told it completely.
Xue Hou also echoed, "Eighth Master, those infant spirits are quite pitiful."
Qi Tiezui stared at Ji Lanqian's face. Judging from the little paper figure on her body, she should have already faced Yingling.
Although I don’t know where the goodwill in her heart comes from, her reading ability is really strong, and she also knows to pull the nails out of the coffin in advance, otherwise it will be a big trouble for her to be saved.
That bitch Xu Nanshan really got it right. She was born to eat this bowl of rice. She was just born in the wrong place and became a wealthy lady. Otherwise, she would definitely be a leader in this industry.
Next, Qi Baye performed a simple ritual to save his soul.
the other side.
"Mute Zhang, it's too far from here to the tomb. I don't want to do it anymore. I can't do it anymore." Hei Ye was paralyzed from exhaustion, half-leaning on the stone wall and began to squish.
Zhang Qiling ate the compressed biscuits and moved his eyes indifferently to the blind man.
After they came down from the temple, there was a manually dug passage. Judging from the traces, it had existed for at least a hundred years.
This road will be long and should take a long time.
"Let's go." He opened his lips lightly and put away the cookies.
The black blind man wailed, got up from the ground and kept walking, nagging:
"It's all caused by lack of money. The world doesn't let the poor live. I have to roll up my sleeves and work hard. When will this end?"
The blind man talked too much, and Zhang Qiling rarely answered his words.
But after walking for so long, Zhang Qiling suddenly opened his lips and said, "Are you blind?"
The blind man's expression calmed down, and his flashlight was shining.
"You really don't remember? You were the one who led me to the original road. After I entered it, I became half-blind. My eyes cannot see clearly under strong light, but the darker the place, the better I can see. It’s clear, it won’t affect your normal life for the time being, so don’t worry.”
He was not worried, but simply asked, "Which way?"
"A road on a snow-capped mountain, above Changbai Mountain. Why were you unscathed after you came out of there?"
Is it because his surname is Zhang?
The black blind man was curious about people named Zhang, and it started from that time.
Heixiazi was one of the nobles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. When he came of age, out of curiosity, he and his elder brother followed the teenage Zhang Qiling into the hinterland of Changbai Mountain and entered the huge bronze door. After that, his eyes were severely injured.
Since then, Heixiazi has been searching for the secrets of the Zhang family and why his eyes were severely damaged and his body mutated.
Zhang Qiling also recalled the past, where did he come from?
In Changbai Mountain in the northeast, there is a bronze gate.
Why he got in there, he didn't know.
He doesn't know what he will do after he comes out.
The blind man knew that his question was in vain as the other party obviously didn't remember anything.
"Forget it, think about it slowly, there will be a long time in the future, so you can follow me for the time being. We are friends for the rest of our lives, and I will protect you." When Hei Ye said these words, it was a compromise.
Zhang Qiling glanced sideways at him, then nodded.
The black blind man curled his lips, thinking that he would take him abroad to check his brain before going out this time.
This trip to Xia Dou also brings some goods out, otherwise I will starve to death before I leave the country.
Thinking like this all the way, nearly five hours have passed.
In the second sacrificial site far away, Xu Nanshan and Hu Yuzhi followed Ba Ye's reminder and found a secret door under the statue.
Judging from the furnishings and layout here, this is indeed the real sacrificial site for the gods. The sacred bird they have worshiped for hundreds of years is not a sparrow, but a mourning bird.
The passages entered by the three passers-by all lead to the same place, the Cao Wei Ancient City project that is being excavated.
