Under the already slightly dim skylight, there were wild smoke, grass, and wild hills.
There is a dark hole hidden in the grass at the bottom of the hill. A strange beast with black and white tiger stripes has its paws lowered. Most of its body has gone inside, and only its buttocks and tail are still exposed outside the hole.
At this moment, a hand suddenly came out of the void and grabbed the black and white ponytail.
Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a black robe and a silver belt and holding a sharp knife appeared outside the cave. It was Qi Jingzhi.
After Xunjiang's incident, he used a soul mask to teach Wei Yingdian the great destiny scroll of "The Immortal Feather Sutra". The two parties agreed that if Mr. Wei becomes the heart and soul in the future, they will go to Songling County, Huaide County, Linzhou to ask for it from him. Follow-up method.
Wei Yingdian also informed the young man of his residence in Beijing and the location of his ancestral home in Xunyang County, and strongly invited the young man to visit him when he was free someday.
As for the mysterious fishing fleet, the manager and the goddess were naturally handed over to the lakekeeper Da Gong for the temporary custody, and then transferred to the local county for investigation to see if there was anyone with ulterior motives behind it, deliberately provoking chaos. The battle between Yangjun and Xunjiang Water Palace even ruined the plan of the Lake God to ascend the throne and divide Xunjiang.
Qi Jingzhi and Wei Yingdian were naturally out of their positions and did not seek political advice due to their status, so they did not stay to interfere in this matter.
After Wei Yingdian memorized the exercises, the two had a drink by the river, then agreed to abandon the boat and change horses, and went on their own way.
After that, Qi Jingzhi didn't waste any more time, and went straight to Liaozhou in the East China Sea all the way through the prefectures and counties. Seeing Jiuzhen County in the distance, he accidentally lost his mount at the Beimen Post in Zhao'an County, Jiuzhen County.
When he rushed to search for the horse, he only saw a horse corpse with its internal organs eviscerated. Naturally, he became even more angry. He chased the horse thief for hundreds of miles without mercy, and finally blocked the horse thief at the entrance of the lair.
"What a sinner, give me back my horse!"
Qi Jingzhi shouted loudly, his feet landed on the ground, and with just one palm of his hand, he dragged a large part of the body of the black and white tiger-striped beast out of the hole.
While dragging, the young man looked at the right hind leg of this strange beast. There were two blood holes and two blood marks that seemed to have been scratched by a sharp weapon, and blood was oozing out.
"Huh? Did the owner catch you stealing food?"
Qi Jingzhi's thoughts flashed, and he immediately took a step to stand behind and to the right of this strange beast.
The black and white tiger-striped beast roared in panic, and immediately wanted to stand up from its crouched body. However, the entrance to the cave was too low for it, and its back was almost touching the roof of the cave. It was unable to stand up for a while.
It became more and more irritable and wanted to bite back, but its body was squeezed into the narrow cave and could not turn around. It could only let the young man outside the cave drag it out, and its sharp four claws plowed in vain inside and outside the cave. There were deep claw marks.
After a brief struggle, the rear half of the body of the black and white tiger-striped beast was forcibly pulled out.
At this time, its hind paws were finally free of restraints, and regardless of the pain of the wound, it immediately raised its right hind leg and kicked hard at the boy.
Unexpectedly, Qi Jingzhi moved faster than it. He flew up first and kicked the bloody wound hard.
"Roar!"
The black and white tiger-striped beast staggered in pain, and the roars in its mouth became more and more impatient and fierce.
After receiving this severe blow, it became angry and became aware of the problem. Instead of resisting Qi Jingzhi's tug, it straightened its back and kicked on the ground, struggling to retreat, digging up dust outside the hole.
"Huh? Still not convinced?"
Qi Jingzhi immediately noticed the intention of this strange beast and kicked it hard again: "You are quite capable. This place is not a hundred but eighty miles away from Beimenyi in Zhao'an County. How can you? He ran over and killed the young master’s horse, he really went to great lengths just to get a bite of food!”
The black and white tiger-striped beast roared in pain, and finally did not dare to move rashly anymore. It kept its head and neck in the hole and most of its body outside the hole. At the same time, it tried its best to lower its body and hide its injured right hind leg.
"Tell me, how should I compensate the young master?"
Qi Jingzhi stood up with his legs drawn, and while shouting questions, he looked at the fat body of the black and white tiger-striped beast, his eyes filled with laughter.
Gradually it became more brilliant.
At this moment, he felt that the palm of his left hand holding the black and white ponytail suddenly tightened and then sank, and his heart suddenly moved: "Is it possible that this guy is also some kind of evil spirit?"
"No! I've asked the postmaster of Beimen Post. Although many livestock, chickens and ducks have been killed nearby recently, there have been no human lives. Since this guy is quite intelligent, let's give him a good lesson and let him take out the food. Sufficient compensation can be regarded as a small punishment but a big warning. If you can't pay it..."
Qi Jingzhi said as he tightened his ponytail and put the small bronze mirror back.
Unexpectedly, the mirror stopped, and a bright red-gold bead flew out of his arms again, spun around in the air, and then turned into a red-gold sword on its own.
The tiger and the snake took the initiative to jump out of the red gold sword, circling and flying around the body of the black and white tiger-striped beast.
This strange beast immediately sensed it, as if it had encountered a natural enemy. It lay down hard and even trembled slightly.
Its roar no longer contained any ferocity, but instead resembled a whimper.
"Hey, I just had a few thoughts, and you two jumped out and wanted to cut off my hair?"
Qi Jingzhi laughed and scolded, and he had some guesses about the origin of the Yun Snake and Wuhu in the Red Gold Sword. He might also be the ghost under the Red Gold Sword.
"The mirror is magical, but it is not unique. This red gold sword is actually a foodie with similar functions. It's just that the mirror seems to be slightly better. I didn't let the mirror eat it, so the red gold sword flew out impatiently."
Immediately, Qi Jingzhi shook his head towards the Red Gold Sword and was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone above his head exclaim: "Red Gold Sword!"
Qi Jingzhi immediately looked up following the sound and saw a green bull emerging from the top of the hill. There were two people sitting on the bull's back, looking down at him.
Then, I saw one of the tall and thin young men in red robes and leather armor, holding a spear, jumped off the back of the cow, widened his eyes and asked, "How come my uncle's red gold sword is in your hand!"
The young man's face was full of shock and anger. He raised his legs and was about to run down the slope, but suddenly he heard a clicking sound, and the earth and rocks on the top of the slope suddenly cracked and collapsed!
Seeing the ground shaking and the smoke and dust rising, not only did the young man himself just have time to let out a exclamation before he fell down, but the other man and the cow also disappeared in an instant.
Qi Jingzhi was startled when he saw this, and immediately realized that the young man should be a member of Lao Wei's tribe. He had appeared on the barren hill for some reason and trampled on the nest of the black and white tiger-striped beast.
He was so stunned that a huge force suddenly came from the ponytail he was holding in his hand, and the tough long black and white hair was either broken from it, or the whole thing was torn off.
The black and white tiger-striped beast jumped up with a ponytail that was mostly bald, and got into the cave extremely quickly.
I don’t know how big the nest inside the mound is. The collapse of the top of the slope seems to have no impact on the cave at the bottom of the mound.
"It's going to happen! Although this mound is not high, the two people and the cow should not fall to death, but if you enter without warning like this, you will be blocked by the owner!"
Qi Jingzhi had heard from Old Wei that the only sorcerer in the Jiu Zhen Wei family, Jin Dao Wei, was in front of him. There were many children in the family who practiced martial arts, but none of them could succeed in the practice.
Although the strange beast never killed anyone when it went out to look for food, it might not let the uninvited guests break into its lair.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi's expression suddenly changed. He immediately switched Qi Huchan to his left hand without thinking, stretched out his right hand to pick off the red gold knife in mid-air, then raised his legs and bent over, chasing the black and white tiger-striped beast into the cave.
In the narrow and low cave, the young man's eyes shimmered with haze, his vision was not affected by the darkness at all, and the sound of the strange beast running on the ground could be heard more clearly in his ears.
The red gold sword even more actively glowed, and the Cloud Snake and Mist Tiger opened its fangs or danced its claws, flying extremely hard ahead to explore the path. With these natural enemies around, it was expected that the strange beast would not have the courage to ambush and attack.
There was only one thing, and that was that the deeper Qi Jingzhi walked, the more absurd a sense of familiarity arose in his heart, because the cave was actually extremely regular and deep, and it didn't look like it was dug out by an animal's claws at all. Instead, it reminded him of the corridor of Liyuan Silver Cellar and the stone chamber where the Xunjiang Zhensha Monument was located.
a moment
Finally, when Qi Jingzhi saw the large hole in the brick wall at the end of the cave, he felt relieved: "Isn't it that I was born with a destiny for this kind of place?"
Seeing that Yun Snake and Wu Hu had already rushed in first, reflecting the golden light inside, the young man clenched the two daggers in his hands and got in through the breach in the wall without hesitation.
During this process, what he was thinking in his mind was: "No wonder a perfectly good hill collapsed like that! Hey, no matter how strong the secret chambers and tombs in this world are, no matter how well they are built and how secretive they are, they will eventually fall apart and be revealed to the light of day. One day! Oh, the late king’s tomb, which has been inspected and repaired by the Ministry of Rites and Works of Daqi for many years, may last longer.”
Qi Jingzhi slipped through the brick wall with his legs and feet, and saw that the scene inside was very different from what he had imagined. There was a stone coffin in a tomb that was not too big. Not only did it look extremely solid and heavy at first glance, but the coffin was also It is also engraved with strange patterns.
He immediately looked around and saw another door on the wall directly opposite, which must be connected to the formal tomb passage.
At this moment, the door was wide open, and the black and white tiger-striped beast had long since disappeared from the tomb, as well as the Cloud Snake and Mist Tiger.
Qi Jingzhi shook his head and turned to look at the stone coffin, specifically at the lit candlestick on the stone coffin and the two figures lying on the stone coffin next to the candlestick.
At first glance, he was immediately surprised, because among the two figures there was neither the tall and thin Wei clan member nor the strong bearded bull-riding man.
Hearing the noise, the two figures at the sarcophagus raised their heads and looked in the direction of Qi Jingzhi, their appearance illuminated by the dim candlelight.
One was a sturdy man in a capable short game with a fierce look on his face. When he looked at Qi Jingzhi, there was a look of fear on his face. Only then did a fierce light appear in his eyes. Suddenly his pupils shrank and he stared at the young man. The red gold sword in his hand.
The other person turned out to be a bald monk in black robes. He looked about thirty years old, and his face was much calmer than that of a middle-aged man. There was no malice in his eyes when he looked at Qi Jingzhi, but rather some shock and embarrassment.
It was really weird that three people with different identities unexpectedly met in this dark and secret tomb.
The tomb was quiet for a few breaths. Qi Jingzhi, who was intent on finding and rescuing people, pointed at the tomb door opposite with his red gold knife, and asked first, "Where did that big guy go just now?"
Upon hearing the question, the sturdy man reacted immediately.
He coughed, took the initiative to clasp his fists in salute, and asked without answering: "But friends of the Jiuzhen Wei family in front of you? I have heard of the name of Jin Dao Wei for a long time, but I didn't expect that besides Wei Gong, there are such masters as friends in the Wei family. !」
Seeing Qi Jingzhi's brows furrowed, the stout man's face panicked, and he quickly added: "That thing jumped over our heads, and I'm afraid it has escaped through the hole at the other end."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi didn't bother talking nonsense with him. The top of the slope collapsed. Who knew what was going on at the other end? Naturally, the most important thing was to catch up with the strange beast and find the Wei clan member.
He raised his legs and was about to go around the stone coffin, but unexpectedly the stout man reached out to stop him.
"Brother Wei, I am engaged in this beheading business. Now that we have seen each other, you want to leave without saying a word. Isn't it against the rules?"
As the thick man spoke, he slowly backed away from the monk beside him, while not forgetting to tug on the monk's sleeve.
The monk in black hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward, raised his hand and pinched a complicated and weird seal, and at the same time loudly announced a Buddha's name that Qi Jingzhi had never heard before: "The Tathagata of the North, the North, and the Wheel!"
His voice was obviously not loud, but it was like the thunder of a heavenly drum, making Qi Jingzhi's ears buzz.
The next moment, a crane chirped from the young man's heart, immediately dispelling the sound of the Buddha's trumpet that invaded his ears.
"This black-clothed monk is actually a genuine cultivator!" Qi Jingzhi felt awe-struck in his heart.
As for the Buddhist practice sect, he only knows one Fuya Temple so far, and it is really impossible to identify the origin of the other sect from the seal and Buddha's name.
Qi Jingzhi simply ignored the black-clothed monk, but turned to look at the stout man who was obviously the leader, and asked in a cold voice: "Then what do you want?
Sample? "
The black-clothed monk saw that there was no abnormality on the young man's face, as if he was unaware of the thunderous sound of the heavenly drum. His expression immediately became solemn, and he turned his head to the side without hesitation, shaking his head gently at the strong man.
Seeing this, the stout man also had a stern look on his face, and immediately responded loudly: "Simple! Now that we are here, everyone who sees it will naturally have a share! After the coffin is opened later, each of us will choose one piece first, and Brother Wei will choose first!" From now on, we are all friends, and we can feel at ease with each other!"
"Oh? I thought you two wanted to stuff me into this coffin!"
Qi Jingzhi's face darkened. These two people were digging graves and wanted to drag him into trouble. It was indeed not a good idea.
The sturdy man seemed as if he hadn't seen him before, and instead burst into laughter.
The flesh on his face was twitching, and his gangster spirit was fully displayed. He said bluntly: "In front of the new generation of Golden Sword Wei, we are not sure that we can keep Brother Wei here! But you must have noticed that this man who supports the Northern Great Black Mingshen’s mage also has an amazing artistic talent, so we have no choice but to be harmonious and make money today!”
After saying that, the stout man seemed not worried that Qi Jingzhi would refuse, and turned around and winked at the black-clothed monk. Z.br>
The monk took a deep look at Qi Jingzhi, and without waiting for him to speak, he immediately turned to face the stone coffin, using his hand to cast a seal and his tongue to make a sound of thunder.
"Hum! The great black god guards the north. He has three faces and six arms, and five eyes are flaring. The sound of thunderous drums in the sky warns the crowd of deceivers. His whole body is covered with red flames, burning like calamity fire. He eats filth and evil and destroys evil and turbidity! Disciples sincerely praise, South There is no supreme king of the north, King Vajra Yaksha!"
