"Remember." Mu Qingyan nodded, "Shi Laoer was also hit by the cold energy of the nether world and lost all his skills. He was later cured by your aunt. Because of this, Song Yuzhi kept chattering about looking for the purple jade golden sunflower."
Cai Zhao looked at the sky speechlessly before saying: "After Nie Hengcheng died, the two brothers went into seclusion, and even my master and father didn't know the place of seclusion. It is said that this was my aunt's intention. Shi Daxia's family was too tired and he had a wife at home. With a concubine and a group of children, Shi Erxia was repeatedly hit hard and needed long-term recuperation..."
"The sun is going down soon, let's be smarter." Mu Qingyan said with a smile, "Are the Shi brothers a tomb robber?"
Cai Zhao fiercely retorted: "Why do you say that?! A knight who is upright and upright is limited by his family's ancestral trade and has learned some digging skills. How can he be called a tomb robber!"
Mu Qingyan did not condone the girl's double standards, "Just tell me whether they have ever robbed a tomb."
Cai Zhao was discouraged: "Who didn't dig two graves when they were young? They stopped doing it after meeting my aunt."
"I think many people in the world have never dug a grave, but whatever..." Mu Qingyan suppressed a smile, "What happened later."
Cai Zhao pursed his lips, "When we were leaving for seclusion, Daxia Shi gave my aunt several ancestral items, one of which I read several times in my spare time when I was young..."
"Oh, could it be "Teaching you two or three things about tomb robbing step by step"?" Mu Qingyan suppressed a smile.
"It's really not tomb robbing!" The little girl insisted, "It records many techniques and techniques for building underground tombs! Later, when my uncle Scar passed away, it was that, that..."
"One palm can determine the world, Sun Dingzhou, the purple-faced scar guest." Mu Qingyan added.
"Yes, that's him!" Cai Zhaodao, "He was ashamed of his family members who died tragically, so he didn't want to erect a monument and asked my father to bury it hastily. Later, my aunt made the decision and built a monument for him based on the secret book of Master Shi. Little catacombs."
Mu Qingyan nodded: "So you think the tomb under our feet was also built by the Shi brothers?"
"The Chang family doesn't have this skill either." Cai Zhaodao, "Don't think that building an underground tomb is easy. It needs to be waterproof and to prevent rats, insects, snakes, and ants... There are many tricks to sealing the entrance of the cave while leaving no traces on the ground. Woolen cloth."
"Xiao Cai Nvxia is right." Seeing the girl's anxious blush, Mu Qingyan smiled like stars, "Just follow Xiao Cai Nvxia's instructions."
Dig half a foot deep at the place designated by Cai Zhao, bury the thunder bomb, and light the fuse——
With a loud rumbling sound, a dark hole appeared below.
Chapter 103
Before going down to the underground cave, Mu Qingyan tied a thin hemp rope to a hare and a bird respectively and put them down to test whether the underground atmosphere was obstructive. Then all the birds and animals came back alive and kicking.
Using firewood sticks as torches, the two of them descended into this downward-sloping tunnel. After walking less than three or four feet, they arrived at this ordinary, small underground tomb. There are no poisons, no hidden weapons, not even the most common rockfall trap.
After entering the tomb, Cai Zhao felt a little disappointed, "There was no danger at all..."
Mu Qingyan held up the torch and looked around: "It seems that this underground tomb was built in a hurry."
The tomb was square, five feet long, four feet wide, and as tall as a person. There was a small door on one of the walls, and behind the door was a short tunnel leading to the ground. They had just entered from here.
The four walls of the tomb are made of ordinary bluestones, which are somewhat uneven, but the ground is very flat. In addition to the closely placed bluestone slabs, there is also a thin layer of soil. The room was cold and dull, but quite dry.
A simple and dignified bluestone coffin is placed in the middle of the tomb from east to west. The lid of the coffin is engraved with the usual talisman pattern of blessing the king. Two sentences are engraved on the left and right sides of the sarcophagus. Hao Yijie', on the left is 'The mountains are high and the water is long, and the Lord God has no obstacles on his way here'.
Cai Zhaomo recited it twice, "These words seem to have been written by my aunt. They are very free and easy."
There is a simple bluestone incense table at the foot of the sarcophagus. On the table are placed three jade boxes for placing sacrifices, followed by an incense burner and a candlestick. In the middle is a lacquered wood tablet with the words "Li" clearly written on it. Teach the eight words "Lu Chengnan's God's Position".
Mu and Cai had encountered difficult traps countless times since their adventure. It was unprecedented for Mu and Cai to obtain information so straightforwardly and peacefully. For a moment, both of them were a little dazed.
"Lu Chengnan? It's actually Lu Chengnan who is buried here?" Cai Zhao was very surprised. "It turns out that he died more than ten years ago. People in the world said he just disappeared."
Mu Qingyan didn't say anything. He took out two pairs of sealed deerskin gloves from his waist bag, and handed the slightly smaller pair to Cai Zhao, "Search around."
The two put on their gloves and started groping around - nothing happened on the four walls, nothing on the ground, nothing on the incense table, nothing on the spiritual throne...
Cai Zhao even opened the three jade boxes one by one, revealing the shriveled and petrified food inside, including a plate of dried meat, a plate of dried fish, and a plate of persimmons. While she was flipping through it, her hands suddenly froze, and she glanced sideways at Mu Qingyan who seemed to be unaware of it, and then went to look at other things as if nothing had happened.
"Zhaozhao, stand back!" Mu Qingyan stood beside the sarcophagus and ordered in a deep voice.
He covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and then held the sarcophagus lid with a thin hemp rope. He pulled the hemp rope away for a few steps and then pulled hard. The sarcophagus lid, which had been sealed in dust for more than ten years, made a low friction sound.
As the smoke dissipated, the strong smell of lime powder slowly overflowed, but there was still no mechanism.
The moisture-proof measures in the coffin were very good, so the body did not rot, but turned into a pale and bluish mummy skeleton. Judging from the skeleton, Lu Chengnan was quite tall when he was alive, with his arms folded on his chest, and his clothes were flat, but his tentacles could break.
Cai Zhao originally took one look and backed away, but Mu Qingyan reached down and searched carefully on the skull, his eyebrows becoming more and more frowning. Cai Zhao curiously leaned over to take a look again, and saw that under Lu Chengnan's open skirt, at the position of his heart, his sternum was shattered inch by inch. With this as the center, the cracks spread like spider webs to the surrounding bones, even to the armpits. The lower ribs were broken.
"What a domineering kung fu." Cai Zhao was surprised.
"This is Nie Hengcheng's famous Kung Fu, the Feiyun Destroying Heart Palm." Mu Qingyan slowly closed the coffin lid and stepped back, "The palm was moved very quickly, and the lower palm was heart-breaking. The person who was struck by the palm only had his sternum shattered at first. The entire chest bones will be shattered within a month - it seems that Elder Yan was right, Nie Hengcheng killed Lu Chengnan back then."
Cai Zhao: "Didn't I say that Lu Chengnan, the fourth disciple, was the one whom Nie Hengcheng valued the most? Why did you deal with him so harshly?"
Mu Qingyan did not answer. He picked up Lu Chengnan's spiritual tablet and looked at it. Instead, he asked, "Zhaozhao, what are you going to do next?"
The aura around the young man suddenly became alienated, and his black eyes stared coldly at the girl.
Cai Zhao didn't know why his expression suddenly changed, and muttered: "Just do whatever you have to do..."
Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows and began to sarcastically say: "Xia Cai, don't talk about your aunt and your aunt all day long. At least you should learn from the uprightness of Cai Pingshu. You are secretive and pretend that I can't guess you." What’s your intention?”
Cai Zhao was so angry that he almost wanted to pat the stone case again, but finally remembered that he had just broken the case on the Chang family altar and retracted his palm.
But she closed her palms without losing her momentum, and said loudly: "Yes, I do want to part ways with you again. Now that the matter has been found out, there is no need for you and me to have anything to do with each other. If Master Mu is smart, stop pestering me!" Although I, Luoyinggu, are not as powerful as you, Master Mu, the Six Sects of Beichen are not easy to mess with!"
"Why should I pester you? You are so ruthless to me, why should I humble myself and beg you all the time." Mu Qingyan said in a sharp tone, "Little Heroine Cai doesn't really think she is the most beautiful woman in the world, does she? . To put it bluntly, when I look at myself in the mirror, I’m prettier than you!”
"You..." Cai Zhao was so angry that he was trembling with anger after being criticized for his appearance. "Okay, that's good! Then let's say goodbye and never see each other again!" You knew that this guy was mentally ill and couldn't act like that. Ordinary people’s judgment!
Mu Qingyan said: "If you don't leave, don't leave. Don't regret it." After saying that, he walked towards the passage leading to the ground.
Cai Zhao was about to leave, but suddenly her heart moved - his last word 'regret' reminded her.
In a way, Painted Skin Demon is a person who sticks to his word.
He said he wanted to cut Nie Zhe's body into thousands of pieces, so he really found a good knifeman to chop Nie Zhe's body into ten thousand pieces and throw it into the mountains to feed the dogs; he said he wanted to crush Nie Hengcheng's bones and scatter them into ashes, so he really said He dragged Nie Hengcheng's bones out of the tomb and threw them into millstones to grind them to pieces; he said he wanted to take revenge on those who had bullied him in the Qingque Sect, but he had to speak out first even at the risk of being discovered.
Now, if he says he wants her to regret it, then he will definitely make her regret it.
"Slow, wait!" Cai Zhao rushed over and grabbed his sleeves, "What do you want to do after you get out!"
Mu Qingyan squinted his eyes, "Since we have to part ways, what do I do have to do with you?"
He has a face with extremely beautiful bones, and a tall and slender figure. Even if he puts on such an air of asking for beatings, it seems as if someone can't help him.
Cai Zhao closed her eyes, breathed out her energy in her Dantian, and silently recited the four-character formula "harmony brings wealth" over and over again, taking out all the good temper she had accumulated for fifteen years and giving it to this damn monster.
After a while, she confessed: "Daxia Chang's revenge must be avenged. Now it seems that the Chang family was massacred not because of you, but because Daxia Chang knew something he shouldn't know. It is probably related to the murder of the Chang family." Lu Chengnan here is related. However, among the people who knew about it at the time, my aunt and Chang Daxia are both dead, so I can only ask the Shi family brothers to find out the reason. When I get back, I will tell my father all the causes and consequences and try my best to find out. Brothers of the Shi family, find out the mystery behind the massacre of the Chang family, and then take revenge."
She finished speaking in one breath and said sincerely: "This is what I stand for. I dare to ask Master Mu what his plans are in the future."
Mu Qingyan looked arrogant and sneered: "I treated you so arrogantly, but you didn't even bother to pay attention to me. Now that I've turned my back, you're willing to talk nicely. Tell yourself, are you asking for trouble?" .”
"You can just call me a cheap person, that's fine." Cai Zhao suppressed his anger and put on a calm attitude, "What on earth are you going to do?"
Mu Qingyan sneered briefly, "I also want to find the Shi brothers."
Cai Zhao was overjoyed: "It turns out that we have reached the same destination through different paths. I know that you have always been thinking of the kindness of Daxia Chang, but at this point, you might as well give it a rest and let my master and father take care of the Chang family..."
"My father was killed, you know." Mu Qingyan suddenly interrupted her.
Cai Zhao nodded quickly.
"It was Sun Ruoshui who took action directly, and Nie Zhe knew about it after the fact." Mu Qingyan's eyes revealed a ruthless light, "But neither of them were the real murderers. The one who ordered Sun Ruoshui to kill my father was the same as the one who slaughtered Chang Chang The culprit behind the whole family should be the same person. My father has been indifferent to kindness in his life, but he ended up like this. If I don't take revenge, I will not be a son of man. "
He glanced down and said indifferently: "Why, you, the six Beichen sects, are going to avenge me for killing my father?"
Cai Zhao was dumbfounded, apologizing for not expecting the cause of Mu Zhengming's death. After a moment, he said, "Then how are you going to find the Shi brothers?"
Mu Qingyan's eyes were dark and he stared at her quietly with his dark eyes, "I know you already had a clue just now, but you didn't want to tell me..."
Cai Zhao felt guilty for a while and couldn't bear to touch the thing that he had just hidden in his pocket.
"I don't plan to ask you either." Mu Qingyan looked cold and arrogant, "Our divine sect has followers all over the world. As long as the two brothers of the Shi family are not dead, and we search every village and city in the world, I can find them and ask them. clear!"
"Isn't this bad?" Cai Zhao was startled. "First of all, the two heroes of the Shi family have finally returned to seclusion. If you make such a fuss, everyone will know where they are. Secondly, if you alert the snake like this, the culprit behind the scenes is They will also be aware of it, what should they do if they harm the two heroes of the Shi family?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Mu Qingyan sneered, "Okay, you and I will do what we need to do, and let's just let this go."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Cai Zhao had no choice but to hug his arm again.
Mu Qingyan lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, "How are you doing?"
"..." Cai Zhao's head was as big as a bucket.
It is a waste of words to talk about the morality of the world with this guy. He feels that he is the original meaning of morality;
Advise him to compare his feelings with his own and not to disturb the senior Zhengdao in his later years. He will say that he has never planned to retire into seclusion. If he compares his feelings with his own, it is more important for the Shi brothers to return to the world;
If she begs him to see her affection, he will definitely make a request to be stuffed with soy sauce, but she doesn't want to be stuffed with soy sauce...
In a dilemma, Cai Zhao looked up and saw the man staring at him with a creepy look.
Their eyes met, and Mu Qingyan leaned forward slightly. Cai Zhao immediately noticed that he wanted to kiss her, and quickly turned his cheek. Before she could feel proud of her responsiveness, a sharp pain hit her shoulder and neck.
In the early summer season, the girl was not wearing thick clothes. The light green collar embroidered with apricot yellow crickets was slightly pulled open, revealing her fair and tender skin. Mu Qingyan suddenly felt a surge of hatred. He hated her for being unkind and unrighteous. She would hesitate to make a decision about the Shi brothers whom she had never met before, but she abandoned him like a shoestring. He also hated herself for not being decisive and ruthless, because He cared about her wishes and did not dare to cross the line.
He pushed Cai Zhao against the wall fiercely, stretched out his long and powerful fingers to clasp her neck hard, and the tips of his teeth sank into the girl's young shoulders and neck like a beast, and blood beads soon appeared on the delicate and sweet skin.
Cai Zhao reluctantly pushed him away and slapped him across the face.
With a snap, Mu Qingyan tilted his head, his left cheek turning slightly red.
He looked calm, with a smile in his eyes, "I also brought a good golden sore ointment, Zhao Zhao, do you want to apply some medicine?"
…
The mountains are cold, the starry sky is clear, and the beautiful and bright stars seem to be within reach.
A warm fire was lit on the altar, and various foods and a jug of wine were spread around. Mu and Cai sat opposite each other.
The entrance to the tunnel was sealed again - in order to prevent others from disturbing Lu Chengnan's resting place, they blew up the rocks on the other side and pushed a large number of stones into the entrance of the tunnel, which not only blocked the opening, but also covered up the tunnel. There are tombs underground here.
"Let's talk about it one by one, starting with Lu Chengnan." Mu Qingyan slowly turned the cold roast chicken on the fire, "Is he your aunt's sweetheart?"
"At first, I thought it was." Cai Zhao sat with his legs crossed, his collar slightly open, revealing his thin pink shoulders. A layer of translucent plaster was applied to the deep red tooth marks, exuding a faint scent of vegetation. Qingxiang, "My master and parents have told me that my aunt does have someone else in love. At that time, I thought that the identity of that person must be hidden. Otherwise, how could my aunt, with her upright character, hide him to death?"
"Your aunt travels around the world and makes friends with heroes. She never cares about her origins, but only cares about her character. No, the Shi family brothers are also tomb robbers, and they have become close friends." Mu Qingyan said, "It seems that your aunt's sweetheart is I’m a man of this religion.”
"Yes. So when I saw Lu Chengnan's name on the spiritual tablet, I became suspicious." Cai Zhao didn't know what he thought of and smiled slightly, "I secretly asked Uncle Lei before, and he said, Zhao Tianba He looks like a bandit road bully, Chen Shu has a sinister and cunning face, and Han Yisu has a pig-kidney face. Among Nie Hengcheng's four major disciples, only Lu Chengnan looks pretty good."
In fact, Lei Xiuming's original words were: That pretty boy is okay, just a little bit worse than me at the time.
——Based on Lei Xiuming's narcissism about his handsome appearance when he was young, this evaluation is very high.
Mu Qingyan laughed: "I also asked the elders in the church, and they all said that Lu Chengnansheng is majestic and handsome. To be your aunt's sweetheart, no matter how good you look, you have to look good."
