Ye Yinfeng meditated beside the stone door, but fell asleep unconsciously.
He was woken up by a crisp and sweet ringing sound that lasted for a long time.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family had already woken up and was sorting out the clothes that were crumpled while she was asleep.
Ye Yinfeng took a breath and felt his body, and found that there was only a slight discomfort, but he couldn't find out what the discomfort was. The idea just came up.
"Let's go, follow me.",
Zhang Lingyan walked straight to the stone door, opened it, and said to Ye Yinfeng in a very calm tone.
Ye Yinfeng didn't care about the slight discomfort in his body, and he didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so he had to follow her out of the stone room silently.
Only then did Ye Yinfeng realize how huge the underground secret room was. It was comparable to the Zhang Family Mansion above the ground. The stone rooms were distributed along the two-foot-wide stone path.
At this time, people were constantly passing by, including men and women, old and young. Basically, it should be said that everyone in this mansion has lived in this underground secret room, at least twenty or thirty people.
People. Most of the people living in the secret room here are family members of the Zhang family, and there is another area where servants and maids may live.
Ye Yinfeng followed Zhang Lingyan and walked with the crowd. Along the way, he did not meet any of the warriors guarding Zhang's mansion.
Some people looked at him curiously along the way, but most people didn't ask because he was followed closely by Zhang Lingyan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family.
The crowd began to disperse, and they walked through other passages one after another. There should be more than one entrance to the underground secret room of this mansion, otherwise it would be very troublesome to evacuate so many people.
When they had left the crowd, Zhang Lingyan led Ye Yinfeng to another passage.
Ye Yinfeng was very confused, because they were walking back, and there should not be a way to the exit in front of them, but why did the eldest daughter of the Zhang family take him back to the original passage.
But he didn't ask. Since the other party wants to cooperate with him, then the other party will not harm him for the time being.
"You have to remember the directions of these passages, otherwise you will easily get lost." Zhang Lingyan's voice was still so cold, as if he wanted to tell the other party that they only had a temporary cooperative relationship, and they did not expect anything more.
Ye Yinfeng nodded to her. Every place was similar. There were small stone chambers on both sides of the stone wall passage. He secretly wrote down every passage he followed Zhang Lingyan through. He found that each passage was connected to other passages.
There will be a very obvious mark on the location. He couldn't help but write down these marks secretly, so as not to get lost easily next time.
The entire underground chamber is like a large underground palace. Ye Yinfeng doesn't know how many stone chambers there are, let alone whether there are people living in those stone chambers or other important objects.
There was a torch stuck every one foot on the stone wall. The torch had been burning all night and was almost on the verge of extinguishing.
"Hurry up, we'll have to work hard to get out when the torch goes out."
Zhang Lingyan couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked through the aisles.
A row of stone steps in front of me winds up, like a long staircase leading straight to a heavenly palace. There are no torches on that row of stone steps, and they are completely dark.
Zhang Lingyan casually picked up a torch inserted into the stone wall and walked up the stone steps. Ye Yinfeng also followed her example and followed her up the stone steps with a torch.
The stone steps winding up are very long and seem to come to an end.
Zhang Lingyan couldn't help but speed up her pace, and even used Qinggong. Ye Yinfeng, who was following closely behind her, also used his internal energy to hold his feet, and was not behind her at all.
Finally reaching the end, she stopped.
At the end of the stone steps is a stone wall, which is nothing special.
Zhang Lingyan held up the torch and looked for something on the stone wall. He saw an obvious raised part at an inconspicuous place on the stone wall. You really couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully.
She stretched out her slender palm and pressed it against the raised spot at the bottom of the stone wall, pressing hard.
The sound of "boom boom boom" suddenly sounded,
I saw the stone wall moving slowly, and after a while the roaring sound stopped.
A small hole was exposed on the stone wall, which was three feet high and three feet wide. There was a dim light coming from the small hole.
Ye Yinfeng followed Zhang Lingyan and walked in from the small hole.
I saw that this was a natural cave with uneven stone walls and no traces of artificial chiseling.
There was a dark breeze blowing in the cave, which made Ye Yinfeng's scalp numb and sent chills down his spine. A spooky and eerie feeling emerged spontaneously in the cave, and the smell of decay was everywhere.
"Click",
Ye Yinfeng felt that he had stepped on something, and he quickly lowered the torch in his hand. Under the swaying flames, he could see clearly what he had stepped on.
An eerie chill suddenly surged into his heart, and his heart trembled violently. He felt a chill all over his body, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
It turned out that what he was stepping on was a human bone, and there were piles of various human bones on both sides of the cave's stone walls, including human heads and skeletons with two black eye holes staring at him.
There were some scattered arm bones and ribs, and all these bones filled both sides of the cave.
An unprecedented depression surged into my heart. No wonder this place was so gloomy. I don't know how many people's corpses were slowly decayed here, turning into piles of skeletons.
"Come on, there's nothing to be afraid of about dead people's bones."
Zhang Lingyan saw the pale-faced Ye Yinfeng and immediately spoke out, but she had no fear of the bones of these dead people, and there was no hint of timidity in her eyes.
It's like a common sight.
Ye Yinfeng secretly felt that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family was like a Jade Rakshasa from the underworld.
The light ahead was getting brighter and brighter, and they had reached the entrance of the cave.
I saw the cliff below the entrance of the cave, and under the cliff was the Poyang Lake with thousands of miles of smoke. Ye Yinfeng was stunned when he saw all this. No wonder the stone steps winding up were so high. It turned out that this
It is on a cliff on the shore of Poyang Lake.
Under the cliff, the smoke of Poyang Lake is misty, and the lake water is sparkling. At a glance, the Poyang Lake is boundless, like a fairyland shrouded in smoke. This is the first time Ye Yinfeng has seen the appearance of Poyang Lake, and it has been almost the same since then.
Looking down from the fifty-foot-high cliff, there is truly a unique scenery.
Ye Yinfeng looked at the cliff at his feet again, and saw that the cliff was as bright as a mirror, with occasionally a few protruding rocks scattered on the cliff. The lake water hanging at the bottom formed waves of its own, one wave after another.
slapped on the rocks under the cliff.
He couldn't help but look up at the top of the cave entrance again. There was still a cliff above, and the cave they were in was in the middle of the cliff. The total cliff was a hundred feet high.
Zhang Lingyan was standing at the entrance of the cave, standing side by side with Ye Yinfeng. The cold wind in the early morning blew on her face, lifting up her long hair. With her red outfit, her endless heroic appearance was highlighted.
"There is an artificial cave at the bottom of the cliff, which is the tomb where my great-grandfather is buried. We need to go down from here and steal the piece of jade from my great-grandfather's tomb."
Zhang Lingyan smoothed her hair that was blown by the wind and slowly told her plan.
When Ye Yinfeng heard this plan, his heart suddenly became full of emotions. He did not expect that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family actually wanted to steal his great-grandfather's burial objects.
"How are we going to get down to such a high geographical environment? Can't we go down from other places?" Ye Yinfeng couldn't help asking. He didn't ask why the other party stole the things buried with the Zhang family, nor did he ask what
What is jade? All he knew was that he couldn't ask these questions, and he shouldn't ask them, otherwise he would offend the young lady all of a sudden, and he would really be left with nothing to eat.
It's just that he didn't understand that the other party was so sure that he was sure of him. The other party's martial arts level was not as high as his own. Could it be that she was hiding her own cultivation? Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but think of this.
"You can only go down from here. The tomb is guarded by experts everywhere. If you go to the tomb from the lake by boat, it will be easier to find. Only by going down from here can you take advantage of it. This is the best way and the safest.
Method." Zhang Lingyan did not waste much words and directly rejected other methods.
But how to get down from the smooth mirror-like cliff from this hundred-foot-high place is the most important. And where the tomb is, it can’t be seen from here, Ye Yinfeng secretly thought
of looking for.
"It's not the time yet. I just brought you here to familiarize yourself with the environment. My great-grandfather has not been officially buried yet. He should be buried below today. Then we will have a chance. If you and I succeed in our cooperation this time, I will
The lady will give you a great blessing."
"Then I would like to thank you for the compliment, Miss. I don't know what this great fortune is." Ye Yinfeng didn't believe the other party's words at this time. He could clearly feel the faint murderous intention in the other party's eyes. Although he was struck by her
He was well hidden, but he was still caught by Ye Yinfeng.
"We'll know when the time comes. Let's wait a little longer. Those people at home should leave." Zhang Lingyan said lightly, but she didn't know whether she was speaking to Ye Yinfeng or to herself.
At this time, Ye Yinfeng knew that the Zhang family's so-called hiring of burial experts to design tomb mechanisms, as well as the strange human skin burial technique, were all a cover to make the world believe that the Zhang family was trying their best to escape their enemies.
He designed all this. But the real tomb of the old man of the Zhang family is in the hundred-foot-high cliff behind the Zhang family. Who would have thought of this?
So these martial arts cultivators who came to Raozhou City, whether they were going for the weird jade pendant, or they really had a deep grudge against the old man of the Zhang family, they were all deceived by the Zhang family. They
Everyone thinks that the tomb of the old man of the Zhang family is in the tomb designed by this clever undertaker. When the time comes, there will be a life-and-death fight, but in the end it will end in nothing.
If it hadn't been for his luck, maybe he and the fat Taoist priest Li Xiaoyao would have been involved in it inexplicably, but I don't know what happened to the fat Taoist priest now.
There are also the things buried with the old man of the Zhang family, and what is the jade in Zhang Lingyan's mouth? Is it really the legendary "Jade of Apocalypse"? If so, why is this "Jade of Apocalypse" so important?
"Don't the Zhang family know why they put that jade into old man Zhang's coffin and became his burial object?
All these mysteries are lingering in Ye Yinfeng's heart. Ever since the Ye family was destroyed, he has not stopped. One mystery after another follows closely, and what kind of role will he play in this?
He didn't understand the angle style, and at the same time he was very confused.
"Let's go back and make some preparations. Don't take any chances and think that you can get rid of me if your cultivation level is higher than mine. If you go back on your promise, I will make your life worse than death."
Zhang Lingyan's tone suddenly became sharp, and he spoke to Ye Yinfeng with an inexplicable and strange aura.
As soon as he heard this, Ye Yinfeng's heart trembled inexplicably. He felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, which made him feel very uncomfortable. This feeling was very strange and terrifying. It felt like
An invisible danger surrounds me, but I know there is danger but cannot get rid of it.
But he still couldn't see what trump card the other party had. Since the other party was so sure, there was no need for him to take the risk. At this time, he felt that his life was in the hands of others. That feeling
Really uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I won't dare to violate it even if I have ten courages. I'm still waiting for the next big blessing from the eldest lady." Although Ye Yinfeng felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still said perfunctorily.
"Assuming you know the truth, the benefits will inevitably come to you."
Seeing how respectful the other party was, Zhang Lingyan's expression softened a little, and he held the torch and walked back into the cave.
Returning to the underground chamber, Zhang Lingyan pressed the switch again to seal the entrance, and the two of them walked down the stone steps.
?????????
At this time, the Zhang Mansion had dispatched ten carriages in batches, with a coffin placed on each carriage. Each carriage was closely guarded by dozens of burly men.
The ten horses drove in different directions in Raozhou City. This was the first time Raozhou City had encountered this momentum. Many passers-by gathered around the bluestone paved avenue to watch, including some wealthy people.
A person dressed as a guest.
The fat Taoist priest Li Xiaoyao was also in the crowd. He quietly heard that everyone was talking, with an anxious expression on his face because he could not find Ye Yinfeng.
There were two people standing next to Li Xiaoyao, one was the man named Lin, and the other was an old man in coarse cloth with red hair and red face.
There was another person mixed in with the crowd. He was a middle-aged scribe dressed in a shabby scribe's attire.
There was also a pair of grandparents and grandchildren in the crowd, a naughty and cute little girl of seven or eight years old, leading an old man with a stooped back.
The crowd also included some vendors and footmen who were walking through the streets carrying burdens. They looked at the horse-drawn carriages coming out of Zhang's house with calm faces.
