Since Taoist Lin had given instructions before, Batulu and others stopped when they dug the tombstone. Seeing Taoist Lin approaching, the four of them hurriedly gave way.
Changsheng has no spiritual energy and cannot see clearly at night, but there is a moon in the sky these days. Through the moonlight, he can vaguely see that a tunnel has been dug out in front of Fengtu and goes diagonally to the north. It is pitch black inside, and the depth is unknown.
"Master, the tomb is nine feet deep and uses the Taoist funeral system." Li Zhongyong said in a low voice.
Chang Sheng has only been following people for a short time, so he doesn't understand the difference between Taoist and ordinary people's funeral arrangements. However, he once heard Takeda Mayumi say that the tomb of an ordinary person is three feet nine without a child, four feet two with one child, and four with many children. It was seven feet tall, and the grave in front of him was obviously deeper than ordinary people.
After Li Zhongyong finished speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "The sealing soil is tight, so it must not have been stolen. The ground is dry, so there must be no water."
Director Lin nodded and walked towards the tunnel, "You guys wait for me outside."
Li Zhongyong and others nodded in agreement. Lin Daochang's vitality had been cut off and he had no longer any hope of living a long life. There was no point in rushing into the tomb at this time.
"Master, be careful there is a trap inside." Chang Sheng was very worried.
Director Lin raised his hand, bent down and walked into the tunnel.
Seeing that Changsheng was very nervous, Li Zhongyong said from the side, "Don't listen to the rumors in the market. There are not so many traps in the ancient tomb."
"The second brother is right," Chen Liqiu said, "The moisture in the ground is very heavy, and any mechanism will fail after a long time. Instead of setting up traps that are time-consuming and laborious, it is better to bury them thinly in the ground, or bury them more secretly. "
Changsheng nodded and asked, "This tomb is more than two hundred years old, and there is still earth on it. Why hasn't it been robbed?"
Batulu answered first, "You fool, you don't even need to ask, the people who dug it will be killed."
"That's not what Lao Wu meant," Li Zhongyong waved his hand to Batulu, then turned to Changsheng and said, "Zhenzhen Sun was a famous doctor of the generation. He treated illnesses and saved people when he was still alive. He only showed kindness and did not make enemies, so no one vented his anger and dug graves. Sun Zhenren was also a member of the Taoist sect. He had little family property and money when he was alive, and he was even buried in the earth after riding a crane. Therefore, Xiaoxiao, who is interested in making money, will not touch his grave."
After hearing Li Zhongyong's explanation, Changsheng suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
Chen Liqiu pointed to the surrounding bamboo forest and said, "These moso bamboos are also very useful. Although the bamboos in the north do not grow very high, they grow quickly. The bamboo branches are staggered and the bamboo roots are intertwined. They can hide people's eyes and ears at the top, and they can solidify the soil and prevent moisture at the bottom. "
As soon as Chen Liqiu finished speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from the tunnel.
Changsheng didn’t know why, so he felt nervous, “What’s the sound?”
"Master is breaking open the tombstone," Chen Liqiu said.
Batulu lay prone on the ground and shouted towards the tunnel, "Master, do you want my help?"
Seeing that there was no response in the tunnel, Batulu wanted to shout again, but Li Zhongyong on the side quickly stopped him, "Stop shouting, the master has already entered the tomb."
"How do you know?" Batulu turned around and asked.
"Can't you smell the medicinal gas leaking out?" Li Zhongyong asked casually.
Batulu took a few deep breaths and said, "It seems to smell like medicine."
Changsheng on the side also smelled the strong smell of medicine wafting from the tunnel. He was not familiar with pharmacology, so naturally he couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was by the smell, but the smell was undoubtedly medicine.
He had been worried that there was nothing Taoist Lin was looking for in the tomb, but he was relieved when he smelled the medicinal gas. It seemed that there was a reason why Mr. Lin was confident, but he was ignorant and did not know the inside story.
Everyone was staring at the tunnel intently, with the exception of Takeda Mayumi, who had been looking around vigilantly to observe the surrounding situation.
"There are people in the west mountain, and it seems that there are also people in the mountains to the north." Takeda Mayumi said in a low voice.
Hearing Takeda Mayumi's words, Baturu instinctively wanted to look around, but was stopped by Li Zhongyong, "Don't move rashly. Master must have noticed it, but I just don't want to alarm them."
Even though Li Zhongyong tried to stop him, Batulu still couldn't help but look up and asked, "What on earth do they want to do?"
"I want to buy you a drink." Chen Liqiu teased casually.
Chen Liqiu's teasing was already commonplace for Batulu, and he didn't care. "What I mean is that since they are here, why are they keeping silent?"
"Maybe they want to wait until we take out the things in the tomb before taking action." Li Zhongyong guessed.
"Probably not," Chen Liqiu shook his head and said, "They don't know what's in the tomb. The most likely reason is that they came here for the martial arts secrets. The reason why they didn't take action was because they were worried."
"It makes sense." Li Zhongyong nodded in agreement.
"What are you worried about? Both of you are injured. We will definitely suffer in a fight." Batulu said.
"It's not us they're afraid of," Li Zhongyong said in a low voice. "They may not be the same group of people. They're worried that if they strike first, others will take advantage of them."
"Oh, yes, yes," Batulu nodded repeatedly, but then thought of another question, "No, how are we going to leave soon? They will definitely stop us."
"Don't worry, Master has his own plans." Li Zhongyong said.
Hearing what Li Zhongyong said, Batulu felt relieved. He picked up the bamboo basket containing the fire and walked south, "You guys wait here, I will feed the horses first."
"Why are you feeding the horse and setting it on fire?" Chen Liqiu glanced at Batulu.
Batulu heard Chen Liqiu's sarcasm, and this time he was caught in the conversation. He retorted confidently, "You know nothing. If you want your horse to run fast and last for a long time, you have to feed it with concentrate. This basket basket If you feed me the sesame cakes, I won’t have to catch my breath for five hundred miles.”
At this time, no one had enough to eat, so who was willing to feed the horse with sesame cakes? Seeing that Batulu was so confident, Chen Liqiu did not dare to argue with him, so he looked at Changsheng, "Lao Wu, do the horses eat sesame cakes?"
"You should eat it," Chang Sheng said, "I once fed Lao Huang vegetable cakes, and Lao Huang liked them very much."
"Boss, be careful." Li Zhongyong warned.
Baturu agreed in a loud voice and went away with the basket in hand.
Taoist Lin had already filled half of the incense sticks when he entered the tunnel. He was worried that something might happen to Taoist Lin, so Changsheng looked at Li Zhongyong and said, "Second Senior Brother, Master has been in there for a while. How about I go in and take a look?"
"No." Li Zhongyong shook his head.
Takeda Mayumi lay on the ground and listened. After a while, he stood up and said, "Don't worry, Master is reciting the scriptures."
Hearing Takeda Mayumi's words, Chang Sheng felt relieved, suppressed his anxiety, and waited patiently.
Not long after, Batulu came back with an empty bamboo basket. Seeing everyone looking at him, Batulu said angrily, "Look what I'm doing. I didn't eat any of them. I fed them all to the horses."
Naturally, no one answered. Batulu strode closer, dropped his bamboo basket and asked, "Why hasn't Master come out yet?"
As soon as Batulu finished speaking, Taoist Lin walked out of the tunnel, holding a few things in his hand.
"Master." Everyone hurriedly gathered around.
Taoist Lin did not stop talking to everyone, but walked straight to the two wooden boxes, and opened one of the wooden boxes when he got close.
The crowd didn't know why and gathered around him.
"Some people were watching from a distance, blocking the surrounding area." Taoist priest Lin whispered.
Everyone understood, moved left and right, and covered themselves with their bodies.
There were a total of five things that Taoist Lin brought out, including a black wooden box half a foot long, five inches wide, and three fingers thick, and four yellowed ancient books. Taoist Lin directly stuffed the wooden box into Changsheng's arms. At the same time, he whispered, "Give Luo Shunzi the Golden Pill of Return to Heaven, and keep the rest of the ordinary medicine for your own use."
Without waiting for Chang Sheng to speak, Taoist priest Lin stuffed a yellowed ancient book into the arms of each of the four men in Batulu. "Qianjin Yaofang and Qianjin Yifang are two Qihuang classics that Master Sun has learned and written throughout his life. Each of you will get half." Volume, self-healing to maintain health, healing others to do good deeds, memorize it early to avoid the handwriting becoming weathered."
Everyone knew that someone was peeking in the distance, so they didn't speak loudly, but just responded in a low voice.
Lin Taoist raised his hand to cover the wooden box again, then turned to Batulu and said, "Backfill it with soil. I will burn incense and worship later."
Not only Batulu, but also Li Zhongyong and others couldn't understand why Taoist Lin would do this. Everyone was in a very dangerous situation at the moment, so it would be best to leave early, so why was they wasting time here.
When Batulu was backfilling the soil, Taoist priest Lin whispered, "Before we arrived, someone had already ambushed Xishan. After we arrived, two more groups of pursuers arrived. When I went down to the ground, a group of people jumped into the ground. Coming from the east, we are now trapped in a tight siege. Right now, they are afraid of each other and are unwilling to take action first, but as long as we try to leave here, they will show up to intercept us. Later, I will try to stop the enemy masters and help you Stay close to the horses, but when you hear thunder, you immediately ride out and break out.”
Everyone nodded one after another, and Chang Sheng asked with concern, "Master, what should you do?"
Taoist priest Lin did not answer Chang Sheng's question, but said sternly, "A man sticks to his word and cannot go back on what he promised me."
"Yes, I will definitely do it." Changsheng nodded solemnly.
Backfilling is easier than excavation. Several people worked together and quickly backfilled the soil. Taoist Lin took out the incense candles from the wooden box, burned incense, chanted sutras, and solemnly worshiped.
After the worship, Lin Daochang ordered Batulu and others to carry the wooden box and return the same way.
Not far away, a shout suddenly came from the mountains to the north, "Luo Yangzi, don't leave! There are rumors in the world that you dig graves and collect treasures to make money. The owner of this village was skeptical at first. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known you were so mad." "
Accompanied by shouts and shouts, a figure rushed from the west mountain.
"Kekeke, Master Feng, are you trying to do justice for heaven? Can a poor nun help you?" There was also a person coming from the north. Because the distance was still far away, he couldn't see his features clearly. He could only see that it was a person. Bald woman.
"Lin Dongyang, you kill my gang members and destroy my reputation. The Beggar Clan is incompatible with you." The voice came from the northeast. The person shouting was tall and thin, and he was walking quickly on the grass using Qinggong.
Someone also appeared in the forest to the south. He was a big fat man with an abacus in his hand, "Hahaha, Taiping Inn only does business. Regardless of right or wrong, I am just passing by, I am really just passing by..."
