Nightwatcher

Now that Zhong Li has been punished by the heavens, she must not be left outside. Xu Qi'an has always been a man who cherishes beauty and beauty.

But bringing her to the tomb might risk the group being wiped out. Therefore, Daoist Jinlian's decision was the safest and was unanimously approved by everyone.

That night, accidents happened frequently.

Zhong Li was sitting cross-legged in meditation, when a big wild boar suddenly jumped out from the grass beside her and gave her a savage charge. Asuka passed by the top of her head, leaving behind a pile of gold and rubbish.

The big tree was suddenly blown down by the wind and hit her on the head with a bang; the hunter who was hunting up the mountain at night shot a stray arrow and almost killed her

It was too miserable, too miserable, the few men who witnessed what happened to Zhong Li were all silent.

Men silent women tears.

After finally waking up to dawn, Zhong Li made a list of items to restrain the filth, and asked Qian You to go to the city to buy them.

"Me, I'm taking a nap"

Zhong Li stretched out her small hand and grabbed Xu Qi'an's sleeve: "Don't leave me."

When Qian You's purchase list was returned, Zhong Li was still sleeping, so Xu Qi'an carried her on his back, and followed Taoist Jinlian and others to the southern mountains.

"Hmm..." Zhong Li muttered.

"You continue to sleep, and I will wake you up when you reach the entrance of the tomb." Xu Qi'an said softly.

Zhong Li continued to sleep soundly with peace of mind.

After two sticks of incense, Qian You led a group of people to a mountain depression, and found the entrance of the tomb familiarly, which was covered with chopped branches.

After Qian You moved away the branches, a narrow corridor that only allowed one person to pass was revealed.

"Let's go in." Daoist Jinlian said.

"okay."

Chu Yuanzhen and Heng Yuan nodded, and then looked at Xu Qi'an together with Daoist Jin Lian.

"Give me a reason!" Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"The divine sense of a martial artist in the realm of refining the gods can sense the crisis in advance." Daoist Jin Lian said with a smile.

"The Vajra Divine Art protects the body like no other." Chu Yuanzhen added.

"Okay, you guys convinced me." Xu Qi'an bent down and entered the robbery cave with Zhong Li on his back.

Daoist Jinlian and the four followed behind, not getting too close, keeping a relatively safe distance.

Entering from the mouth, it is very narrow at the beginning, and only then can it pass through people. Go back dozens of steps, suddenly see the light.

After getting out of the robbery hole, there was a wide space in front of him. When he jumped out of the robbery hole, Xu Qi'an stepped on a brick, which must have fallen from the wall when the tomb robbers dug the hole.

Da da

He struck the flint and lit the torches he had prepared, and the torches burned brightly.

This robbery cave has been open for nearly three months, the air is circulating, and the oxygen content in the tomb is extremely high. This is not acceptable. It will destroy the cultural relics in the tomb. Once some things come into contact with oxygen, they will quickly deteriorate. Hey, I don’t need to live Trial, thinking about these lines with a strong desire to survive, Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

Footsteps came from behind, Taoist Jin Lian and others got out of the robbery hole and jumped into the tomb.

Everyone lit the torches at the same time, illuminating the dark space.

Xu Qi'an lowered his head, picked up a brick, squeezed it, and found that the hardness of the brick was countless times stronger than he expected.

"What kind of brick is this?" he asked.

Daoist Jin Lian moved the torch, looked at it, and took a few glances: "Qinggangzhuan."

"?"

Xu Qi'an looked at him.

"It is a relatively rare stone, characterized by its firmness and resistance to weathering." Chu Yuanzhen explained:

"I've seen this kind of brick in books, but it's the first time I've seen it."

Xu Qi'an nodded and said: "We should have entered the edge of the tomb, and based on these bricks, it is speculated that the entire tomb should be built with Qinggang stone bricks.

"The owner of this tomb is more honorable than we imagined."

As expected of a genius in solving cases, with flexible thinking and strong deliberation and analysis skills, Chu Yuanzhen thought to himself.

The crowd searched the tomb and found twelve coffins and four corpses. They had been dead for several days, and their bodies exuded a very faint rotten smell.

"The three are brothers in the gang, and the other is an invited master." Qian You said in a low voice.

Although doing this business is extremely risky and often encounters crises, his heart is still heavy.

Xu Qi'an put down Zhong Li, handed her the torch, and knelt down to examine the corpse, "The face is black and the lips are black. This is the death of being poisoned."

"There is no poisonous gas in the air." Zhong Li said.

Xu Qi'an nodded, quickly stripped off the dead man's clothes, and found that there were several small wounds on the arms of the dead body, as if bitten by some kind of insect.

"They are in the coffin, these dead must have moved the coffin." Chu Yuanzhen said suddenly.

Xu Qi'an moved his ears, and caught the slight but dense wriggling sound coming from the sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus seems to be a vessel for raising Gu, which is full of poisonous insects.

"Do you want to open the coffin and have a look?" Heng Yuan said, looking at Taoist Priest Jinlian.

Daoist Jinlian looked at Chu Yuanzhen.

Zhuangyuan Lang nodded, and shot a sword intent at the sarcophagus with his fingers. The sarcophagus shook violently, and the wriggling sound stopped.

He waved his sleeves, the sarcophagus was opened, and a stench came out.

All the people present were masters, and they were not afraid of mere toxins. Zhong Li spread out his palm, holding a brown pill, and said to Qian You, "This is the anti-drug pill."

"Thank you, miss." Qian You gratefully took it and swallowed it.

The four members of the Tiandihui stood beside the sarcophagus, examining the inside. The densely packed poisonous arthropods were blown to pieces, and the dark brown liquid splashed all over the coffin wall.

In addition to the poisonous insect killed by Chu Yuanzhen, there was also a severely deformed skeleton. I couldn't tell the exact age, only that it was a long time ago.

It's a pity that there is no corresponding technology in this world, otherwise the age of this skeleton can be detected, Xu Qi'an thought to himself.

"There are no funerary objects. The coffin in this tomb should belong to the burial person." Chu Yuanzhen said.

"Dafeng doesn't seem to have a system for living people to be buried with them." Xu Qi'an humbly asked Chu Zhuangyuan for advice.

"The system of burial for living people has existed since ancient times, and the original date cannot be verified. However, the system of burial was really abolished in the Dayi Dynasty in 2123. At that time, the Confucian saints had not yet been born."

Chu Yuanzhen didn't hesitate, and naturally came up with relevant knowledge and responded.

"That is to say, the age of this tomb is more than two thousand years." Daoist Jinlian said.

After checking for a while, they found nothing. They left the tomb with torches in their hands and went deep inside. Occasionally encountered a corpse or two along the way, all of them died in traps.

After walking for a while, they entered a wider tomb, the top of the tomb was in the dark depths, and the darkness ahead was endless.

Xu Qi'an waved the torch and saw many corpses lying on the ground, some of them were flesh and blood, and they died within a few days. Some are haggard corpses, wearing tattered clothes whose original style cannot be seen clearly.

None of these haggard corpses were complete. Some heads had been torn off, some limbs had been torn off, and some had been chopped into pieces.

In addition, there are coffins that have been opened.

It is conceivable that there has just been a fierce fight here.

The tomb robbers opened the coffin, alarming the sleeping zombies inside.

"What's the matter with this zombie? I remember it's the Witch Cult who can manipulate corpses, right?"

Xu Qi'an, who had a very low "literacy level", spoke first, and his eyes swept over the unopened coffins in the distance.

Zhong Li shook his head: "These zombies have nothing to do with the Witch Gods. They are nourished by Yin Qi and become stiff over time. Fortunately, these zombies have been destroyed, saving us trouble."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of "bang bang bang" sounded in the empty tomb. It was the sound of the coffin lid being pushed away and falling to the ground.

In the darkness, black shadows stood up one after another. They looked haggard, but had sharp, black nails, green eyes, and were cold and terrifying.

"Amitabha!"

Hengyuan recited the Buddha's name, strode forward, took the initiative to meet the zombies, and smashed a zombie's head with his fist.

After solving the zombies, they found murals on the walls on both sides of the tomb.

The mural on the left wall depicts a group of people in simple clothes and weird hats, prostrate on the ground, and kneel towards a high platform.

Chu Yuanzhen knew a thing or two about this, but not much, while Heng Yuan and Xu Qi'an had never heard of it.

Taoist Priest Jin Lian pondered for a moment, and then said eloquently: "Dao Zun is known as the ancestor of all dharmas, and he has learned extensively. Among the Taoism he handed down, the three schools of heaven, earth and man are the main ones, but there are also many branch schools.

"Among them, there is a sect that focuses on dual cultivation, where yin and yang meet and participate in the avenue. At its most glorious time, its momentum was not weaker than the three sects of "Heaven, Earth and Man". Pilgrims were like a cloud, and they were regarded as honored guests by dignitaries who longed for Taoism and longevity. Female pilgrims lingered in Taoist temples and voluntarily practiced dual cultivation. According to the records of Dizong, some of them included some noble women."

Fuck, this genre is very good at playing, no, no, I am a prostitute who sees prostitution, in their eyes, participating in the avenue is the core purpose, and everything else is floating clouds Xu Qi'an was shocked, staring at the mural, Make an effort to jot down the meridian runs.

Heng Yuan shook his head, staring at the mural with clear eyes, as if everything on it was just floating clouds, unable to shake his Buddha heart.

"This technique is good for cultivation, but it's a pity that it's too difficult to find a partner for dual cultivation." Zhuangyuan Lang commented.

Since it is a dual practice, it is natural to find a woman who is also proficient in this way. It is by no means just finding a woman in a brothel to practice.

"The yin and yang of the heavens and the earth transform the five elements, and the double cultivation technique is an orthodox technique that directly points to the Dao. However, there is no class in the technique, but there are differences between people. The progress of the double cultivation technique is slow, and it is necessary to maintain the heart and not be occupied by desires.

"Gradually, for the sake of quick success, this school created the technique of harvesting and nourishing in the dual cultivation technique, and thus fell into the devil's way. They deceived female pilgrims, imprisoned them in the temple for them to harvest and nourish, and plundered women everywhere. The people's resentment was boiling.

"Finally the army of the imperial court was recruited, and the anger of the knights of the rivers and lakes has been annihilated. Now there is a remnant of the dual cultivation technique in the Taoist sect. Since it is a remnant chapter, it is of little use. Unexpectedly, there is a complete dual cultivation technique here."

Daoist Jinlian sighed.

"Then, why is there a complete dual cultivation technique here?" Xu Qi'an questioned.
