After the shock, Wu Xie's face was full of heartache. That was an extremely precious ancient tomb of a Tang Dynasty general! There were many ancient relics with immeasurable cultural value inside, and they must have been completely destroyed by the earthquake and landslide.
Others also felt that it was a pity that although their lives were saved, all the hard work of exploring the general's tomb was in vain.
Wu Xie suddenly thought that the backpacks of the three tomb robbers also contained many burial objects of Tang Dynasty generals.
He immediately walked up to the three tomb robbers and grabbed his backpack, ready to see what rare cultural relics there were.
Wu Xie's actions also attracted the attention of others.
Just when he reached out to pick up one of the antiques in his backpack, he suddenly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.
All the antiques in the three backpacks began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a pile of sand or mud.
The melted sand and mud from this pile of antiques seemed to be so hot that it melted through the bottom of the backpack.
While everyone was surprised, Hu Jianjun on the side suddenly screamed, grinning in pain, and slapped his left thigh desperately.
He endured the severe pain, and what he photographed was also a pile of sand and mud.
Hu Jianjun's left thigh had been burned red, and a large piece of skin had fallen off, revealing the blood-red muscles inside.
"Hurry up and bandage it for me!" Hu Jianjun shouted in pain. Several young people from the institute quickly took out the first-aid tools from their backpacks and gave Hu Jianjun simple treatment.
Wu Xie snorted coldly and said: "Hu Jianjun, you just hid the antiques secretly, didn't you?"
Looking at the sand and mud under Hu Jianjun's feet, it looked like the same stuff in a tomb robber's backpack. It didn't take a second thought that the items in Hu Jianjun's pocket must also be antiques.
"Director, director, I just took an insignificant gadget." Hu Jianjun tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said with a guilty conscience.
Wu Xie shook his head in disappointment: "Hu Jianjun, I will punish you after you return to the research institute."
When Hu Jianjun heard this, he did not dare to refute, with a look of shame on his face.
Chen Xuan walked to the three backpacks, took them away, and looked at the sand and mud on the ground. There was a pile of sand and mud showing a strange color.
He stretched out his hand and quickly looked around, and a thumb-sized jade pendant appeared in Chen Xuan's hand. This jade pendant was carved into a koi carp. It was colorful and very beautiful.
Only this piece of koi jade pendant did not melt, so there must be something abnormal. Although Chen Xuan had exhausted all his energy at this moment, he still opened his clairvoyant eyes and found that the jade pendant was indeed exuding a faint aura.
It is a real magic weapon!
Seeing Chen Xuan's expression, Ma Hui quickly came over and lowered his voice: "Master Chen, is this koi jade pendant a magical weapon?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Ma Hui deeply and said, "You almost killed me in the general's tomb for this little thing."
"You deserve to die, you villain!" Ma Hui's expression changed drastically and he was extremely frightened. It was obvious that Master Chen was really angry.
Chen Xuan was exhausted both physically and mentally at the moment and was too lazy to argue with him, so he slowly put away the koi jade pendant.
When Wu Xie saw that the only remaining antique was taken away by Chen Xuan, he did not dare to say a word.
After being frightened just now, everyone was now a little unable to walk, and everyone sat down against the rocks and trees.
After Chen Xuan put away the jade pendant, he came to the short Taoist and lifted him up.
Only then did everyone realize that there was a strange Taoist priest who came out with them. They had not noticed it at all when they escaped.
This Taoist priest, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a height of less than 1.6 meters, was lifted into the air by Chen Xuan, with a frightened look on his face and his eyes looking at the ground.
"Were you the one driving those zombies?" Chen Xuanyan asked briefly and concisely.
The short Taoist had seen Chen Xuan's methods and did not dare to hide anything. He spoke with a trembling voice: "Yes, it's me. Please spare my life, Master!"
"You must have killed living people to sacrifice these many zombies. How can I spare you for doing such a crazy thing?" Chen Xuan shouted in a deep voice.
The short Taoist suddenly felt despair, his eyes filled with despair, and murmured: "They are all villagers of Niujiazhuang..."
When everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar.
It turns out that all the missing people in Niujiazhuang were turned into zombies by this evil Taoist priest.
After hearing about such an inhumane thing, Master Du'e and all the monks of Luyun Temple chanted Amitabha together, and it was a sin.
These are hundreds of human lives. The evil deeds done by the little Taoist are indeed heinous!
Even Chen Xuan's face completely darkened and he continued to scold: "You are a beast inferior to a pig or a dog. What do you want to do by committing such evil deeds and intercepting and killing us in the general's tomb?"
"Yes, it's for the general's body." The short Taoist said in a lower and lower voice.
Chen Xuan probably understood. This short Taoist should know how to refine zombies and control ghosts. If he were to get the general's body and refine powerful ghosts, he would do many evil things.
Evil things.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "Why do you know these evil arts and where did you learn them?"
"Master, you have great magic power, so you must be a member of the spiritual world. I learned all these trivial skills from the spiritual world." The short Taoist replied timidly.
When Chen Xuan heard this, he was suddenly surprised.
Could it be that on this earth where spiritual power is almost exhausted, there really is a spiritual practice world?
He had previously met Mr. Qingyuan and other ungrateful practitioners, and knew about the so-called practice circle, but it was only composed of a group of half-hearted practitioners.
The practice world that the short Taoist refers to is definitely very different from the practice circle in Tianhai City.
"Be specific." Chen Xuan said in a voice as cold as ice.
The short Taoist shuddered and said quickly: "I received the inheritance of ghost control techniques from the Xiangqian Mountain area of Huling Province. The person in the spiritual practice who taught me is an old man who is over a hundred years old.
Now that he has passed away, he said that I have entered the world of spiritual practice after practicing the art of controlling ghosts, but so far, except for you, the real person, I have not met any other practitioners..."
After Chen Xuan listened to his explanation, his heart was in a state of confusion. He didn't expect that there really was a so-called spiritual world in this world.
Before, he thought that Master Zhuang, who had weak magic power, was just lucky enough to obtain some incomplete magic techniques and practice them.
Looking at the evil short Taoist in front of him, Chen Xuan had no more information to ask for. His eyes suddenly became extremely cold. He grabbed the short Taoist's collar, aimed it at the largest tree, and threw it hard.
With a snap, the short Taoist hit the big tree, his muscles and bones were broken, and he died instantly.
Seeing Chen Xuan kill the evil Taoist priest in such a way, even though he was doing justice for heaven, everyone was still shocked, and their awe for Chen Xuan increased in their hearts.
