Zhang Lin walked in front, and the partridge whistle hurriedly followed.
While talking, the two of them arrived at the bottom of the tomb wall.
There are mostly criss-crossed roots of ancient trees, and there are many thick timbers that are rare in primitive forests.
These timbers are arranged horizontally and vertically, and there are many natural tree holes on each side.
Its diameter is the size of a vegetable basket and its depth is several feet, just enough to accommodate a corpse.
Partridge Whistle is an expert in tomb robbing. When he saw this, he frowned and said: "Taoist Master, it seems that this Ancient Yizu Cave is a real 'box tomb' with nothing good in it."
During these days, Zhang Lin went in and out of Pingshan with Chen Yulou and others. He had been with these habitual thieves for a long time, and he also knew what the Xiazi Tomb mentioned by Partridge Whistle was about.
A tomb like this one with many corpses, no coffins, only tomb holes, in which each corpse is relatively isolated, and the tomb holes are densely packed, like cabinets arranged with medicine boxes in a traditional Chinese medicine shop, is called a box tomb by tomb thieves.
In ancient times, the Yi people lived in caves, so they were also called cave people. Although there was an order of hierarchy among them, with cave masters at the top and cave slaves at the bottom, their living conditions were primitive and simple, so their tombs often used "box tombs" for centralized burials.
The corpse will wear some ornaments commonly used during life to distinguish it, but there will be no gold or jade utensils, which is not the custom of a rich burial.
The cliff cave tombs in the Yangtze River Basin are actually similar to this.
It was not until later that the imperial government established chieftains to manage these cave people. Under the influence of the Central Plains culture, these cave people gradually began to bury them in thick coffins and coffins.
As for this kind of box tomb, there is a saying in the tomb robbing industry to describe it, which is: vertical burial pit, box tomb, moving mountains and unloading ridges to go around.
The reason for saying this is probably because the Xiazi tombs are all caves where bones are stored. There is nothing to move mountains and mountains to find, so even if they see it, they will not dig it out.
Zhang Lin knew it and said: "It's important for us to save people. There are enough treasures in the Pingshan underground palace. You need to know: going too far is not enough!"
Hearing this, the Partridge Whistle laughed and said: "What the Taoist said is that wealth is Mr. Chen's top priority. We, as a group, only want the Muchen Bead. The Taoist is an outsider and doesn't care about these extraneous things. At the moment, we are still
It's important to save people, but I don't know what happened to the child."
Zhang Lin nodded and said: "He should be not far ahead. You and I should move forward quickly."
With that said, Zhang and Lin entered the cave. Partridge Whistle raised his gun in front of the cave and looked around. They saw that the ancestral caves of the Yi people were all wormhole-like tombs.
The corpses and bones inside were still there, and cobwebs and mushrooms were all over it. The gloomy stench made people sick, and the trees and rocks that fell in were piled up like mountains. For a while, the two of them couldn't see where the Zijin Coffin and Rongbao Xiaoye had fallen.
When Partridge Whistle saw this, he was about to call his name. Zhang Lin held him down and said, "Don't move yet. Listen, is there any sound?"
The Partridge Whistle listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard someone moaning softly in the corner of the cave, and the shouting was extremely weak. The Partridge Whistle raised the light to shine in that corner, and saw a vague figure, but judging from the shape and voice
, not like Rong Baoxiao.
Partridge Whistle was puzzled, loaded the gun in his hand, and asked the shadow: "Who is over there?"
However, the figure over there was still hunched against the wall, trembling all over, but still refused to answer.
Partridge Whistle is extremely courageous, but he doesn't believe in evil.
He hung the lantern on a pillar on one side, stepped forward with his gun, and shined the lantern, but he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
The two of them saw a skinny old man squatting in front of a row of tombs, looking at Zhang Lin, the Partridge Whistle, walking over with surprise. The old man had white hair on his head, and his cheeks were deflated. His eyes turned.
Just like the old monkey killed by Zhang Lin, looking at his expression, he couldn't be more human.
When Partridge Whistle and Zhang Lin saw the old man, an ominous cloud immediately passed through their hearts. The old ape in the deep mountains and old forests was smashed under the purple gold coffin like a scorpion, and was beheaded by Zhang Lin again.
Now that the ground under the mountain has collapsed, the old ape's corpse has fallen into the cave together with the zombies in the coffin and Rong Baoxiaoye.
This crypt was originally a cemetery where Dong Yi's bones were buried. How could there be any old man in it? Now he looks like he is smacking his cheeks and winking, and his hair is gray. He is actually in his twilight years. How similar is he to that old ape?
However, with a sharp eye, he saw that the clothes on the old ape were the same as those of Rong Baoxiaohe, so he hesitated and said: "Are you Rongbaoxiaohe?"
When the old man heard the words, he seemed to be very excited, his expression was very excited, he yahed and yahed repeatedly, but his speech was as unclear as a centenarian, and neither of them could hear what he said clearly.
When the two of them saw his appearance, they became even more confused. Rong Baoxiao was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he came down, but now he looks so haggard, his skin is shriveled and wrinkled, and even his eyebrows are as white as frost and snow. He looks quite old.
If he lives a hundred years old, blow him with air, and he will probably run out of oil and die on the spot.
What happened during the short time he was down there?
The two of them were puzzled and did not dare to move lightly for a while.
When Rong Baoxiao saw this, his whole body trembled, struggling as if he wanted to say something, but due to the aging of his body, he could not make any sound from his mouth. His cheeks were shrunken and he finally opened them, only the teeth on his gums could be seen.
All of them have lost a few aging teeth.
When Partridge Whistle and Zhang Lin saw this, they were even more shocked and suspicious, and they were not sure what the mystery was in this cemetery.
The partridge whistle did not dare to be careless at the moment, and signaled Zhang Lin to be on the alert. He slowly walked half a step closer, two or three feet away from De Rongbao Xiaohui, and asked: "Xiaohui, little brother, how could you become like this?"
What does he look like?" He looked around, secretly on guard.
Rong Baoxiao, who was old and weak, thought he was saved when he saw someone coming to help him, so he became even more excited.
However, when he was excited, his aging heart and windpipe seemed to be overwhelmed, and he gasped like a bellows. With a few hoarse coughs, the white hair on his head fell off one after another, and there were more and more wrinkles on his face, making him look disfigured.
It is no longer recognizable, as if it has aged several dozen years, leaving only a withered skin.
Seeing this, the Partridge Whistle slowly backed away and said: "Taoist Master, something is wrong. The purple gold coffin that originally contained the Xiangxi Corpse King is empty. The Xiangxi Corpse King inside has disappeared. The posture of Rongbao Xiaohe leaning against the cave wall is so weird.
, there seems to be something hidden behind you..."
Zhang Lin nodded and said, "You read that right, the real owner is behind that kid!"
Hearing this, the Partridge Whistle changed his angle and with the help of the light, he could see clearly that the body of the Yuan Dynasty general was right next to Rong Baoxiaoye's back.
As if it had sucked the life out of a living person, its zombie's face actually became rosy and glossy. It was by no means the dead look it had seen in the forest before. Maybe Rong Baoxiaoye aged in an instant precisely because of being affected by it.
It's because it sucked up the yang marrow.
Seeing this, Partridge Whistle said in a solemn voice: "What a good beast, you are still causing harm to the world after death. Taoist Master, what should we do?"
Partridge Whistle has dismantled the spines of ancient corpses and killed ancient corpses that pretended to be corpses before, but this ancient corpse of Yuan Jiang does not seem to be an ordinary ancient zombie. The signs of its transformation are very abnormal. Ordinary zombies pretend to be corpses and attack strangers. Normally,
He will stop when he hits a person or a wooden board. Even if he is attacked by blades or burned by fire, he will never relax. However, he has never heard of or seen a zombie sucking the marrow of a living person.
, that man is still alive, but his body is aging rapidly.
So I had to ask Zhang Lin.
He remembered Zhang Lin saying that he had killed zombies before and should have some insights into this.
Zhang Lindao: "This is the first time Pindao has seen such a transformed zombie. The most important thing now is to save the child. Why don't you and I compare?"
When Partridge Whistle heard this, he became interested and asked: "I don't know how long you are, how can you and I compare?"
Zhang Lin said: "Rescue people! Destroy corpses! It depends on how much time it takes. You choose first!"
When Partridge Whistle heard this, he laughed and said: "My Banshan sect has a special skill called Kuixing Kick Fighting. You can try it boldly. The Taoist Master comes from the Taoist sect. Partridge Whistle has never seen an expert from the Taoist sect kill demons and eliminate demons.
What if I save the people and the Taoist priest destroys the corpses?"
Partridge Whistle said, thinking to himself, this Xiangxi Corpse King's corpse transformation is so weird, his Kuixing Kick Fight is a unique skill created by moving mountains to deal with deceptive ancient corpses in ancient tombs for thousands of years, now the two of them are competing,
You can use this to attack the Xiangxi Corpse King first, so that the Taoist priest can deal with it more easily. This can also reduce some accidents.
Zhang Lin didn't know what Partridge Whistle was planning. Hearing this, he nodded immediately and said: "As long as you can save the child, I am very sure that this scourge will be eliminated."
When the Partridge Whistle heard this, he cupped his fists and said, "The Partridge Whistle also wants to see the Taoist Master's methods, so he will show his shame first!"
After saying that, the partridge whistle rose up and landed in front of Rong Baoxiaie. With the force of the rush, he pulled out the aging Rong Baoxiaie who was hidden behind Rong Baoxiaie from the corner.
.
Partridge Whistle's real ability is that he once learned the sumo wrestling skills of Yan Qing, a hero from Liangshan, which was passed down to the world. When it comes to close combat, no one on the green forest road can match him today.
His attack was as fierce as a tiger attacking a sheep.
It rolled on the ground, detoured behind, and locked the arm of the Yuan Dynasty zombie, freeing Dong Manzi who was entangled in the ancient corpse.
The barbarian from Shumiaodong rolled away like smoke, his old body wheezing and out of breath, but he finally came back alive.
Seeing this, the Partridge Whistle kicked the Xiangxi Corpse King back into the corner. With the help of the rebound, he turned back to Zhang Lin and clasped his fists with a smile, "Taoist Master, I'm lucky to have saved you!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his calves and said, "But this Xiangxi Corpse King is like steel all over. Taoist Master, do you need help?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lin glanced at Xiangxi Corpse King, who was struggling and walking towards this side, and said: "No need, just look at the poor methods!"
When the Partridge Whistle heard this, he stepped aside with a smile, ready to help at any time.
Zhang Lin felt a chill in his eyes when he saw the Xiangxi Corpse King slowly approaching.
Since we are competing with Partridge Whistle, we have to play a big game.
There is not much movement, how can you deserve to take action yourself?
Partridge whistled aside, and saw Zhang Lin pointing his sword at the sky, holding the talisman in his hand and saying: "Taiyi Xuanming, the essence of Bingding, the messenger of lightning, illuminating the universe... The talisman is followed... as urgent as a law or order."
Words fall, thunder moves
On a moonlit night, all I could see was thunder and lightning falling in the sky.
When the partridge whistle saw this, he said: "What a god! The result is thunder!"
Looking again, there is the Xiangxi Corpse King somewhere in the corner, and there is only one inner elixir rolling down there.
Seeing this, Partridge Whistle stepped forward to pick up the inner elixir, only to feel that it was cold and bottomless. He suddenly woke up and said: "Taoist Priest, this ancient zombie is not a corpse that turned into a spirit, but that he had an adventure in his life.
He actually refined the true elixir in his belly. After his death, the inner gallbladder was still hidden in his dantian.
I remember that when I was going to the toilet, I saw gold powder in the mouth and nose of the dead body. I guess it was a corpse medicine used to seal the nine orifices.
It is said that alchemy was very popular in ancient times. Not only did they refine outer alchemy, there were also Qi refiners who specialized in inner alchemy.
However, human lifespan is limited. Without eating Shouwu and Ganoderma lucidum, which have been formed for thousands of years, no one can easily make a real elixir. And due to the difference in taking elixirs, inner elixirs also have yin and yang. The yang ones are:
Wujin Dan. The Yin one is: Soul-sucking Dan.
Even after the death of the alchemy master, his inner alchemy is still alive under certain circumstances.
When we opened the coffin, there was nothing unusual, probably because the people of the Yuan Dynasty had sealed the inner elixir using a special technique.
The female scorpion that was hidden in the purple gold coffin was frightened by the wild monkeys in the mountains and frightened by us. As it went in and out, the golden powder that sealed the inner elixir in the mouth of the ancient corpse was shaken out.
The inner elixir in the dantian of the general of the Yuan Dynasty should be a soul-absorbing yin elixir, which is like a magnet between two poles.
This Yin Dan passes through the corpse's mouth and is sucked in when it sees life, just like it can suck out the soul of a living person.
Therefore, little brother Rong Baoxiaohe lost his life in front of it in a moment and turned into an old man with bald hair and toothless hair.
When Zhang Lin heard this, he shook his head and said: "It's just a heretic who has no right to the law. I would think it's some kind of evil!"
Hearing this, the Partridge Whistle said: "The way of inner alchemy is recorded in ancient books. Isn't it the Taoist Master?"
Zhang Lin nodded and said: "Cultivation is nothing more than three things: essence, qi, and spirit.
This inner alchemy belongs to the way of Qi. In practice, you should first understand Qi. According to the attributes of Qi, before cultivating Qi to form an elixir, there are many elixir attributes, but they belong to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
There are also: wind, thunder, ice, yin and yang, etc. The inner alchemy you mentioned should not be included in these."
Hearing this, Partridge Whistle nodded thoughtfully, and then hesitantly said, "Then I wonder what kind of discipline the chief is practicing?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lin turned around and glanced at Partridge Whistle. Seeing Zhang Lin looking at him, Partridge Whistle immediately said: "If it's inconvenient for Taoist Master, no..."
Zhang Lin said proudly: "I am more powerful than the other three!"
Partridge Whistle: "..."
Zhang Lin said: "You don't need to ask. It's difficult to practice in this world. Only an eternal genius like me can cultivate one or two fruits. You... it's easier to reach heaven than to practice. But if you have time to ponder one or two martial arts, you can do it."
Even if you don’t achieve Taoism and fruition, you can still become a great master.”
Hearing this, the Partridge Whistle said: "My next concern is to find the Muchen Bead and relieve the tribe from a thousand-year curse. I have nothing else to think about."
Zhang Lindao: "The Muchen Bead has its own destiny, you don't have to force it, but you have to ask for it!
Because, some things have to be done! Some things have to be done, and we will do it, but I hope I have a clear conscience!"
After hearing this, the partridge whistle said after a long time: "Thank you so much, Taoist Priest, for your words!"
Zhang Lin shook his head and said: "It's better to eat this pill and the child first, and save him!"
Partridge Whistle nodded when he heard this, and immediately leaned down, crushed the Yuanren Yin Pill into pieces, mixed it with water, and poured it into his mouth.
Chapter completed!
