"Brother, the three people I rescued said that they saw many slaves being escorted into the Turkic royal tombs and never came out again, including some Turks."
"One of the three people was born in Shaolin, with a true Dharma name. He knows some Feng Shui techniques and said that the mausoleum was originally capable of swallowing mountains and rivers, but now it is shrouded in an evil spirit, showing the appearance of a black dragon swallowing a dragon. "
"So they suspect that there is some ulterior secret hidden in that tomb!"
"It's a pity that the tomb was heavily guarded. They were discovered by the guards just after they reached the foot of the mountain, and had to flee in panic. I wanted to break in, but Kenshin warned me that there is obviously a top master hiding there."
"I don't know when senior brother will arrive at Yinshan Mountain. I want to go to the army with those three people and do my best to protect my family and the country. I also look forward to joining the sword here with senior brother."
"Junior sister, Taiwei."
After reading the letter, Li Daoxuan frowned slightly.
No wonder that after the Tang Dynasty declared war, the Turks, who had always been arrogant and domineering, suddenly became silent and chose to stand still and defend passively. It seemed that they were quietly preparing some back-up plan.
State affairs are of paramount importance, and it seems that he needs to go to Yinshan as soon as possible.
If possible, you can also use the seventy-two transformations to sneak into the Turkic King's Tomb quietly and see what secrets are hidden there. Is it related to the bronze box they dug out from Juye County?
He had a hunch that the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks might not be as easy as historical records said.
…
Tomb of the Turkic King.
The entire mountain was hollowed out, and countless slaves were pushed onto the altar. Most of them were captured border residents of the Tang Dynasty, business travelers passing by, and even Turks who were old and frail and could no longer hold a knife.
The Turkic soldiers nailed their limbs to the altar with iron thorns, and blood flowed along the veins to the five ancient bronze boxes.
After being bathed in blood, the five rusty boxes emitted a strange light, and then the five boxes continued to tremble, moving closer like magnets, and finally connected together with a click.
What kind of box is there? It is clearly an ancient and mysterious bronze coffin!
The ancient bronze coffin was floating in the blood pool, constantly absorbing the blood around it, and the patina on the coffin was gradually disappearing.
The high priest walked in, followed by several soldiers, working together to carry a headless corpse.
The corpse was very tall and muscular, but it already stinked a little, making the soldiers who carried the corpse subconsciously hold their breath and almost vomit.
This is the body of the famous Turkic general Ashina Wumozhu. He was born with supernatural powers and superb martial arts. He killed countless enemies in his life and was extremely brave. He only lost to two people.
One is Yuchi Jingde, and the other is Xue Rengui.
In front of Yinshan Mountain, Xue Rengui fought with him for hundreds of rounds, and finally cut off his head and trampled it to pieces in retaliation for his humiliation to the Tang soldiers.
Later, the high priest used a secret method to manipulate his corpse to stand up, hoping to kill Xue Rengui, who was emerging as a talented person.
But he didn't expect that Xue Rengui took out the Sky-shattering Bow given by Li Daoxuan, and shot Ashina Wu Mozhu's heart through the heart with one arrow, forcing the Yang God Realm turtle demon to show up in person, but was beaten by Li Daoxuan again. Killed by arrows.
The high priest also didn't understand why this great god would let him dig up this stinky corpse.
"My God, the Tang Dynasty has sent troops to attack. Its national advisor Li Daoxuan killed the Locust God in Dengzhou. The Plague God and Medicine King Sun Simiao died together. Now I, the Turks, can no longer stop Li Daoxuan!"
"My God, please come out and save the Turks!"
The high priest knelt down and worshiped devoutly. The mighty Yang God Realm expert actually fell to the ground, feeling extremely humble.
The bronze coffin suddenly began to tremble violently, and the heavy and ancient coffin lid opened slightly downwards, revealing a deep, majestic and overbearing energy.
Even the surrounding mountains seemed unable to withstand this energy and began to rumble. Debris continued to fall from the top of the mountain, and it seemed that it would collapse in the next moment.
One of the soldiers could not hold back his curiosity. He quickly raised his eyes and looked inside the coffin towards the gap.
The next moment, the soldier's eyes were filled with blood, and his eyes completely turned red. The blood threads spread like spider webs, and the blood vessels under the skin bulged.
boom!
In the blink of an eye, the peeping soldier exploded like an exploding watermelon, with mud-like flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
No one knew what he had seen, and he had paid a heavy price for his curiosity.
The other soldiers were trembling with fear and their faces turned pale.
If they hadn't all undergone rigorous training and been on the battlefield, their legs would have become weak and they would be paralyzed on the ground unable to walk.
But the bronze coffin was not opened.
Four rays of black energy flew out of the coffin, and then the gap quickly closed, and the bronze coffin stopped shaking and returned to calm.
Four rays of black energy were flying in the royal tomb, seemingly looking for something.
Not long after, one of the black gases fell into the headless corpse of Ashina Wumozu.
Immediately afterwards, the headless corpse stood up, and dense threads of flesh emerged from the originally empty heart, condensing into a beating black heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The beating sound of the heart was like thunder, and with every beat, the surrounding stone walls shook and smoke and dust arose.
I don't know how long it took, but the headless corpse had changed drastically.
He became taller, his muscles were like gold, like a horned dragon, holding a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. His head did not grow, but his breasts turned into eyes, and his navel turned into a mouth.
His sanity was not high, but his astonishing fighting spirit was forged into every inch of his skin like steel, possessing an indescribable and terrifying magic power.
Those soldiers just looked at him and fell into complete madness. They shouted to kill and drew their swords to chop each other.
A sword is bloody and a sword is deadly.
The last few people all died together. Even if they died, their eyes were still full of crazy fighting spirit.
The second black energy fell into the body of the high priest.
Divine light bloomed in the eyes of the high priest, and his body continued to grow until it touched the top of the tomb. His beard and hair also became more and more prosperous. In just a few breaths, they grew like a savage. Even the staff in his hand turned into a mahogany staff. .
Infinite divine power burst out in his body, like a gushing volcano.
The high priest stepped lightly, and the ground suddenly cracked and the mountain collapsed, creating a huge crack about a hundred feet long, like a scar on the earth.
This unprecedented power made him feel a little lost.
But he soon came to his senses, gathered all his strength, and with a wave of his mahogany stick, the broken mountain automatically gathered and recovered.
The third ray of black energy penetrated into a small snake.
The next moment, the body of the little snake continued to grow until it filled most of the royal tomb. It was hundreds of feet long and exuded an extremely fishy smell. The most astonishing thing was that it actually grew nine heads.
The nine-headed snake body screamed loudly, exuding a terrifying power like a wild beast.
It seems that due to the sudden acquisition of nine heads, and for some uncontrollable reasons, streams of saliva flowed out of the big snake's mouth, as thick as pulp, and it happened to fall on the corpses of the Turkic soldiers.
In an instant, the corpse made a sizzling sound, a large amount of thick smoke came out, and even the ground was corroded and turned into a small swamp.
The last ray of black energy unexpectedly penetrated into a stone sculpture.
It was a stone sculpture of a ferocious beast, shaped like a cow, but with only one leg and no horns on its head. Its pupils were violent, and it was filled with a sense of ferocious power.
This stone statue was originally built in the royal tomb to suppress ghosts. After being penetrated by the black air, it immediately began to tremble. The stone skin fell off piece by piece, revealing blue hair.
Roar!
The sound was like thunder, with light like the sun and moon flowing on its body, and streaks of lightning swirling around it. The power of thunder between heaven and earth boiled violently, and there were thunder and wind for dozens of miles around!
The four black energies created four mythical characters, each possessing unparalleled power and supernatural powers.
Such a method of turning stone into gold and turning decay into miraculous means can be called the magic that conquers the heaven and earth, and invades the sun and the moon!
A voice sounded from the ancient bronze coffin, vicissitudes of life and majesty, full of a strange magic power, and a hint of exhaustion.
"It will take some time for me to open this coffin and grant you divine power to kill Li Daoxuan and capture the Tang Dynasty."
"When I return, I will conquer the world."
Regardless of their sanity, the four high priests all bowed to this voice and showed great respect.
"We will take Li Daoxuan's head as a sacrifice to the God King!"
…
Two days later, on the grass.
Lin Xingzhou and the others looked at the scenery ahead, showing excitement.
They walked for two days and two nights and finally walked out of Mobei and arrived at the boundary of Yinshan Mountain. If I remembered correctly, there was a Tang Dynasty military camp in front of them.
Taiwei followed them quietly with a long sword in hand.
Along the way, the three of them respected her very much, especially Lin Xingzhou. He always tried his best to talk to Taiwei, but unfortunately, apart from being interested in the affairs of the Imperial Master, the rest of the heroine seemed to have no interest in her. Not interested.
No matter what he said, the other party just gave a faint hum.
"Xia Xia, we are about to arrive at my territory of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that General Li Jing marched northward with his flags covering the sky. The Turks along the way were so frightened that they fled!"
"General Li Jing will set up military camps every fifty miles to imprison prisoners and guard the grain roads. If we walk for a while, we should reach the military camp!"
Lin Xingzhou handed over his water bag very diligently and said with a smile: "Xia Xia, I see you didn't drink any water during the whole journey. You must be thirsty. I have wiped this water bag clean. If you don't mind it..."
Taiwei shook her head and said, "I'm not thirsty."
Just as Lin Xingzhou was about to continue speaking, he saw those eyes as clear as sword light looking straight at him, as if he could easily see through his heart.
"you like me?"
Taiwei asked in a calm voice.
Lin Xingzhou froze there, feeling very flustered and even his face felt hot. He looked helplessly at his companions.
Crazy Sword Shen Tuxiong and Iron Arhat Zhending secretly snickered and turned a deaf ear.
Along the way, Lin Xingzhou was very attentive, and everyone on the road knew Sima Zhao's sincerity.
I don’t even think about it, can a strange woman who can travel to overseas countries alone, break 86 armor with a single sword, and go without water or food for so many days, be an ordinary person?
It can only be said that once a man is tempted, his head feels like being kicked by a donkey.
Lin Xingzhou coughed and said, "Young lady is so beautiful and has the grace to save my life. I... do have some admiration for her. I hope you will forgive me."
Taiwei didn't react at all, and there was a hint of curiosity in her clear eyes.
She stood with her sword in hand and asked bluntly: "What do you like about me?"
Lin Xingzhou couldn't fix it again.
He is also considered a veteran of Hua Cong, but he has never encountered such a woman who doesn't act according to common sense.
But there was also a hint of joy in his heart.
When Taiwei Heroine said this, could it be that she also has a good impression of me in her heart?
He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "The girl's martial arts skills are astonishing, and her swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. I am astonished to the heavens!"
"Any more?"
"Girl... she is beautiful, her skin is as delicate as suet and jade, and it can be broken by a blow."
"Any more?"
Lin Xingzhou's eyes swept over that graceful figure, especially the pair of slender and straight legs. Under the trim of black trousers, there was no flaw and every seam was perfect.
But he didn't dare to say.
"The girl... has a very special personality, different from ordinary women."
"Any more?"
"No...no more, no, there must be more, but I can only think of so much in the next moment. I am really short of words and cannot describe the girl's case."
Taiwei was not angry and continued to ask calmly: "Do all men like these?"
Lin Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled: "Of course, as long as he is a normal man with no special hobbies, he must like everyone -"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Taiwei murmuring thoughtfully.
"It seems that senior brother also liked me back then."
Lin Xingzhou was stunned for a moment as if he was struck by lightning.
What the hell?
Senior brother? ? ?
His heart suddenly became very sour, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"Nvxia, you... like your senior brother?"
Taiwei's calm eyes had emotional fluctuations for the first time, like a pool of blue water being wrinkled by the breeze.
"I have no idea."
She seemed a little troubled and confused.
"My senior brother and I almost got engaged back then. In order to practice swordsmanship, I resolutely went down the mountain and went overseas, just to pursue the supreme swordsmanship."
"I was really happy at first, fighting huge waves, killing powerful enemies, and admiring the wonders of the world. I had no distracting thoughts every day. Until one day, I saw the autumn leaves falling, and I suddenly started to miss home."
Lin Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just missing home doesn't necessarily mean -"
"It's not all homesickness."
Taiwei shook her head and said: "At first, I thought about my master the most, and then my master, uncle, or other junior brothers and sisters. Regarding my senior brother, I seemed to have forgotten him on purpose, and I almost never thought about him."
"But as time passed, I found that I began to think of my senior brother more and more often, even more than my master."
"I think of my senior brother and I practicing swordsmanship together on the Sword Testing Stone. I think of us fighting side by side. I also remember that when everyone was against me, only my senior brother knew my intentions and sent me down the mountain."
She raised the sword in her arms, stroked the cold hilt, and pulled it out slightly.
The cold light of the sword illuminated her eyes.
"It's strange to say that what I am practicing is the "Tai Shang Sword Sutra". I am pursuing the Supreme Sword Sutra, and my heart is only about the sword. But every time I forcefully kill my thoughts about my senior brother, it will automatically appear again after a while. .”
"When you are admiring flowers, practicing swordplay, drinking, or even dreaming, it always appears quietly, and the more you cut it off, the stronger it becomes when it reappears."
Taiwei looked at him and asked seriously: "Tell me, have I fallen in love with my senior brother?"
Lin Xingzhou: "..."
