Chapter 164 The Magical Use of the Chessboard World
The Academy Youth League has even gone to the big tomb, so there is no psychological pressure when going to the tunnel this time.
Compared to the beginning, Zhao Xun is now more calm, but still seems a bit frivolous in front of his two senior brothers.
After all, the experience is there. The two senior brothers may have eaten more salt than Zhao Xun has eaten rice.
The three of them walked forward along the tunnel, and after about a stick of incense, they reached the end.
The tenth senior brother said calmly: "We have already reached the underground of the Yamen. Now we have to see the sixth senior brother."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou licked his hair in an awkward manner, and said proudly: "The yin energy in the mortuary is very strong, and most people can feel it, let alone me. Even underground, I can feel it."
The judgment is clear.”
After saying that, Brother Six began to search calmly.
Zhao Xun didn't dare to disturb and waited quietly aside.
After about thirty breaths, the sixth brother breathed out a breath and said: "One hundred and fifty steps due north, thirty steps east. Let's dig."
The tenth senior brother didn't say anything more. His soul left his body again, and the golden pangolin sacred elephant appeared again and began to dig the soil.
This time the distance was very close, and it only took Tenth Brother a few dozen breaths of work to dig the last section of the tunnel.
"Only the last layer of soil is left, it will break with just a poke."
...
...
The Academy Youth League entered the mortuary without anyone noticing. Since they did not dare to turn on the infuriating lighting, they could only use the weak moonlight to guide the way to find the corpse of the newly condemned prisoner.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Six had a strong ability to sense evil spirits, and soon he led Zhao Xun and Xu Rong to several corpses covered with white cloth.
"This is it. These corpses were recently deceased."
Zhao Xun opened the white cloth without hesitation.
"There are obvious marks on the neck..."
Zhao Xun had already had experience in examining the corpses of people who had hanged themselves, and could accurately determine which ones were hanged and which ones were strangled.
Even if it was strangled first and then disguised as hanging, or if it was killed by other methods and then disguised as strangulation, it can be distinguished.
After careful inspection, he found that, as expected, these people had been strangled to death, and there were signs of a fierce struggle.
Now it's a question of how to preserve the evidence.
If Zhao Xun and the others leave now, there is no guarantee that someone will not move or even destroy the evidence.
After much hesitation, Zhao Xun took out the book "The Universe in the Scale".
Originally, Zhao Xun did not intend to show this treasure to others easily, but now that the situation was urgent, Zhao Xun had to act urgently.
"Two senior brothers, please wait for me here."
Zhao Xun dragged several corpses into the chessboard world without hesitation.
Dragging a corpse is really a physical job.
Even though Zhao Xun is now a seventh-level practitioner, it still took a lot of effort to drag several corpses into the chessboard world.
Fortunately, I didn't sweat profusely, otherwise it would have tarnished my image.
"Okay, we can go back the way we came."
The Sixth Senior Brother stared at Zhao Xun with a suspicious look on his face and said, "Junior Brother, did you just drag those corpses into the book?"
"Well, to be precise, it was dragged into the chessboard world."
Zhao Xun knew that it could not be concealed, so he simply made it clear.
He believes that the two senior brothers will not have bad intentions, right?
No way, no way.
"Chessboard? But the chessboard in the book that Brother Nangong gave you?"
The Sixth Senior Brother was obviously very interested in this chessboard, so he snatched "The Universe in the Scale" from Zhao Xun's hand and took a look.
Zhao Xun quickly took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Sixth Senior Brother, this is not a random look. You may go blind if you take a look at it."
Senior Brother Six curled his lips and said, "Junior Brother, you are so stingy. Since this is a gift from Brother Nangong to you, I naturally won't covet it."
Zhao Xun quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. Now is not the time. I will explain it to you slowly when I get back to my residence."
"All right."
Sixth Senior Brother reluctantly responded.
However, it is said that the Academy Youth League and a group of people jumped into the tunnel and returned the way they came. After returning to the residence in the other courtyard, the tenth senior brother Xu Rong once again left the body.
The extremely familiar golden pangolin statue entered the tunnel again.
Only this time it's not for digging but for filling.
One operation is as fierce as a tiger.
After Tenth Senior Brother returned to his position, Zhao Xun stepped forward and asked with concern: "Tenth Senior Brother, is this okay?"
"It's done, leave no trace, no one will see it."
"That's good."
Before Zhao Xun took action, he hoped that Zhao Qian, the governor of Huangzhou, would be aware of it.
After all, Zhao Qian is the governor of a state. If he jumps over the wall in a hurry, the consequences will be serious.
As a practitioner, Zhao Xun is not afraid, but if he hurts an innocent person, it would be a serious crime.
"Okay, now, junior brother, can you explain this chessboard world?"
Senior Brother Six has obviously not forgotten this chessboard world.
After all, the impact is too powerful.
"Ahem, it's like this..."
Seeing that he couldn't be fooled anymore, Zhao Xun could only bite the bullet and said: "Last time Mr. Nangong gave me this book, I thought it was a martial arts secret book, so I wanted to study it carefully. But who knew that when I opened the title page, I read
I was sucked in at one glance.”
Zhao Xun told his two senior brothers what he saw and experienced after being sucked into the chessboard world.
After hearing this, the Sixth Senior Brother was amazed and said: "I never thought that such a miraculous thing could exist in the world. It's amazing. It's really amazing."
Then he said with some displeasure: "Brother Nangong actually hid this from me. It's really too much."
"Ahem, Sixth Senior Brother, I think Mr. Nangong may not know the world in this chessboard."
In fact, Zhao Xun wants to emphasize that no one can be sucked in just by looking at the chessboard.
This also requires a good eye, right?
Otherwise, Zhao Xun is not the only one who has read this book, so why would it be so empty?
Of course, he would not say this to Sixth Senior Brother, otherwise it would really be possible to paint a darker picture.
That is not what Zhao Xun wants to see.
Perhaps because he was not interested, the tenth senior brother was much calmer.
"So, this chessboard is a world within a world, a universe within a universe. How many paper figures can be stored there..."
“…”
The Sixth Senior Brother and Zhao Xun stared at the Tenth Senior Brother with dark expressions on their faces, thinking that the Tenth Senior Brother knew something besides paper-cutters...
"Now it has been proven that these people were killed by him. As long as I collect other evidence of Zhao Qian's crimes, I can take him down in one fell swoop."
If you don't leave Chang'an, you won't know how difficult people's livelihood is.
Compared with the prosperity of the imperial capital, the lives of local people are obviously much more difficult.
Even in Huangzhou, the most prosperous city in central China, people still have to endure layers of exploitation by corrupt officials.
This day is really sad.
This is true in Hanzhou, this is true in Huangzhou, and it should be the same in other states and counties in the world.
Zhao Xun knew that he could not take care of everything, but he should take care of what he saw.
