Jin Huan and the others were helpless in the tomb, and it was about to explode outside.
The Jianghu people around were in small groups, whispering to each other, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with the Canglang Army and the people from the Three Religions.
You are powerful, but none of us are sheep to be slaughtered. If we are really pushed to the limit, it will be the worst possible outcome, and no one will be able to take advantage of it.
Under the temptation of huge profits, there is nothing these Jianghu people can't do.
Seeing the increasingly unkind looks in the faces of the gangsters around him, the officer also ordered his men to be on full alert and to be ready to kill them at any time.
Just when the atmosphere in the scene was tense and on the verge of breaking out, a soldier ran out from the entrance of the cave.
He ran up to the officer, whispered something into his ear. The officer's expression changed, and then he waved his hand to tell his soldiers to put away their knives first.
Then, he said to the people around him: "My general said that treasures are obtained by those who are destined to get them. Since everyone is here today, it is fate. But..."
Then he changed the subject and said: "There are too many of you here today, so we can't all go in. You elect ten representatives of yourselves and enter the tomb to conspire with the general!"
Hearing this, the Jianghu people around him were silent for a moment, and then suddenly started to make a lot of noise. The Jianghu people who were unanimously open to the outside world just now turned into a mess in an instant.
An old man with a goatee not far from Lin Yan stroked his beard with his fingers and sighed: "You are a charlatan!"
Lin Yan heard the words and understood what he meant. There are many masters in the martial arts world. Take the Jianghu people here as an example. If they really want to take action, the Canglang Army may not be able to get an advantage.
However, these people are not together. Even if you stand on the same front temporarily due to some external factors, it will soon fall apart under the influence of external forces.
After all, for them, the only thing that is tempting is profit!
A bunch of scattered charlatans are naturally not in the eyes of the Canglang Army, which has strict military discipline. It is normal for the officer to look down on these charlatans.
The situation in the field suddenly became very chaotic. A group of charlatans were swearing and bragging that they were qualified to serve as representatives to enter the underground palace. Some people were even ready to take action.
Lin Yan did not join, but slowly moved closer to the old man with the goatee.
Although the old man was skinny, with a pair of triangular eyes and a goatee, he looked a bit wretched.
But Lin Yan never judged people by their appearance. At least judging from the fact that conflicts broke out from time to time among the people around him, but no one dared to come within ten feet of him, this old man definitely had formidable strength.
After Lin Yan approached the old man, he cupped his hands and said, "Senior, can you take me in later?"
The old man with the goatee obviously did not expect that someone would dare to come to him and talk to him, and even make such a request.
The old man looked at Lin Yan with interest, thinking that this kid was quite courageous!
He asked Lin Yan: "Little baby, how do you know I can go in?"
Lin Yan replied without thinking: "Just because no one dares to cause conflict around you, I know you must have the strength!"
The old man with the goatee raised his eyes, looked at Lin Yan and said, "You're right! But why should I take you in?"
Lin Yan looked around and secretly handed over a cloth bag. The old man with the goatee shook his head slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. It was a whole bag of silver.
This bag of money was secretly placed in Lin Yan's baggage by Song Yi before, as a token of his gratitude. Lin Yan didn't want it at first, but he was already far away from the town. Going back would waste time, so he could only pay it back later.
Who would have thought that if something like this happened this time, it would be useful here.
For these solitary wanderers, what they lack is not only skills, but also gold and silver.
After all, you have to eat while traveling in the world! Therefore, the saying "money can make the world go round" is also applicable in the world of martial arts.
The old man with the goatee put the money bag away without leaving a trace, and said to Lin Yan: "Boy, you are very wise, just follow me later!"
Lin Yan cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you very much, senior!"
There is really no other way this time. He will never be able to get in with his own strength. And if you use Qiu Lao's power to get in, it will be too eye-catching and it will easily attract the attention of people from the three religions. If you accidentally reveal your identity, you will lose more than you gain.
I just happened to meet this old man with a goatee. It doesn't matter if he spends a little money. If he can achieve his goal, it won't be a loss.
Sure enough, the fight subsided after a while, and the number of representatives was determined.
People in the world speak with their strength, and there is no point in fighting among people who have no ability.
There were ten representatives in total selected, and this old man with a goatee occupied one of the places, which showed that Lin Yan had not made any mistakes before.
Among the others was an old man from the Flying Eagle Sect, with a hooked nose, hands like eagle talons, and sharp eyes.
There was also a strong man from the Ancient Sword Sect, with his upper body naked and a heavy sword on his back, and he looked very imposing.
There is also a dwarf from the Escape Sect. This sect usually does some digging and theft, so it doesn't have a very good reputation, but this time he is a professional counterpart.
There are also some scattered Jianghu people, so I won’t introduce them one by one. But since it can be selected, it itself explains some problems. These people either possess considerable strength or have some special skills.
In fact, there are still many Jianghu people left, and their number is no less than the number of Canglang Army soldiers who came. Although they are dissatisfied with the Canglang Army's actions, their skills are not as good as others, and there is no other way.
Moreover, these powerful Jianghu people have been given the opportunity to enter the underground palace, so they will naturally not object. Although the remaining people are large in number, they do not have a leader and cannot make any big waves.
Now that the people have been selected, the soldier who came out to report the news before led everyone to the cave.
When the officer saw Lin Yan coming, he originally objected, but the old man with the goatee said that his eyesight was dim and some things needed help from his disciples, so he let him go.
After all, he is only a half-year-old child, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Most of the remaining Jianghu people did not object. It seems that Lin Yan's identity as a kid is still very useful.
Not long after, several people, led by the soldier, arrived at Jin Huan's location.
The soldier took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Report to the general, we have been brought here!"
Jin Huan nodded, waved his hand, and the soldiers turned around and returned to the team.
Then Jin Huan looked at the people who came, old and young, all dressed up, and there was even a child.
But he didn't care too much. None of this mattered, as long as these people had the ability to help him enter the underground palace.
Jin Huan cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, as you can see, this Vajra Gate is blocking the way. Is there any way to break it?"
When all the Jianghu guests heard this, they cursed secretly in their hearts. It turns out that they were blocked from the door. No wonder they let people like me in. They treated us as coolies!
But even though they thought so, they didn't show it on their faces. After all, the current situation is stronger than others, so it is just a benefit to follow them, there is no need to offend them.
But the Vajra Gate in front of them is not simple. A group of Jianghu people looked at it for a long time, but they didn't have any good ideas.
That's right, if it can be solved so easily, wouldn't it mean that the people from Jin Huan and the Three Religions are too useless?
Just when everyone was lost, the dwarf who had escaped from the Earth Gate came out, cupped his hands towards the golden ring, and said, "Sir, I have a plan!"
Hearing this, Jin Huan said excitedly: "Tell me quickly!"
The little dwarf replied: "Yes!"
This person is a protector of Dundi Sect, his name is Tubo, and his nickname is "Drilling Rat".
This sect has a very bad reputation. Although it is called "Escape", it is actually just to put money on one's own face. On weekdays, people in the sect always do things like digging graves. Can their reputation be good?
People in the world have hated them for a long time, but what is helpless is that there is an extremely strong elder in the Earth Escape Sect. He is already a strong man in the Dzogchen realm of acquired heaven. He is one step away from breaking through the innate realm. Ordinary people would not dare to provoke them easily.
And they are also a group of people who bully the weak and fear the strong. They never dare to take the initiative to provoke the members of the three religions and the Nanman military. Some weaker sects are forced by the power of the Supreme Elder of the Dundi Sect and do not dare to push them too hard. Their little life was pretty good.
I saw the earthworm standing under the huge stone gate, pacing back and forth several times before starting to prepare to speak.
Maybe he also wants to put on a show and live like a professional. After all, no one here is more professional than him in this regard. Usually they are the characters that everyone calls for beating, but now they finally get such an opportunity, I would really feel sorry for myself if I don't pretend.
But with his short stature and four feet tall, he looks like a dwarf. Standing under the five- to six-foot-high boulder gate, he forms a strong contrast, which is really a bit funny.
Just when Jin Huan looked at him with more and more evil eyes and was about to explode, he finally spoke.
"Everyone, as the protector of the Earth Escape Sect, I have quite a lot of experience with this!"
The others secretly "poof" when they heard this! I thought: Yes, you are the only ones who have some experience, and you are the only ones who can sum up such immoral things! How shameless!
Tubo didn't notice this, and felt good about himself, and continued: "Since this huge stone door is too heavy and difficult to break open with external force, it is better to avoid this stone door."
"Bypass? How to get around? Isn't this the only entrance?" the others thought in their hearts.
At this time Jin Huan spoke: "You mean..."
The landlocker cupped his hands and said: "General, you are wise! We don't have to force open this Vajra Gate. We can just dig soil from the ground and go around it. The gate of a tomb like this is five or six feet above the ground and two or three feet underground at most." That’s the end.”
Jin Huan thought about it and thought it made sense, so he ordered a hundred Wolf Guards to be brought in from outside and started digging the earth.
A group of soldiers instantly switched to the hard work of digging. One hundred people took turns doing it. After a full half day, they finally dug to a depth of three feet.
Just as the landhog excitedly ran over to take a look on his short legs, his face instantly turned the color of bitter melon, and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
