There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.
In the early morning, Ye Chen got up quite early, carrying a Qiankun bag, a mahogany sword on his back, and all the tools to ward off evil spirits. He was fully armed and went to visit the old grave.
After leaving Zhuxian Town, he headed straight to the east.
The scenery in his eyes is quite beautiful, with alternating mountains and rivers, lush vegetation, mostly quiet paths with winding paths leading to secluded areas, and also rice fields and fruit groves, where honest farmers work.
Thirty miles away, in a mountain forest, Ye Chen stopped.
At this moment, he was sitting on the stone, rubbing his sore legs. It was true that he had been turned into a mortal, and he didn't even have enough physical strength. He was tired after only thirty miles. If it were like before, he would have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in a day. , all without panting, comparing two by two, one day and one place.
Hewu!
While Ye Chen was resting, he suddenly heard a loud shout that echoed through the mountains and forests.
Then, there was the sound of wheels rolling.
Ye Chen looked sideways and saw the convoy. They were the escorts. The so-called Hewu, also known as Paizi, was the slogan of the escort. It represented harmony and friendship, so that the bandits who were ambushing along the road could not stand up. The thieves knew that they were passing by, and as the saying goes: He and I escorted the car away, and the world would be back safely in half a year. So that the thieves and bandits can be summoned, and it will be convenient for the escorts.
While he was talking, the escort team had arrived.
The person walking at the front was a strong man with a beard, shouting escort horns all the way. The shouts were high-pitched, short and long, and the word "hewu" represented many meanings, and there was a lot of knowledge in it.
Ye Chen smiled and looked in a daze.
He has a special affection for escorts, because he once reincarnated as an escort. Whenever he was escorting, he was frightened and slept in the open. Looking at the escorts now, it was like looking at him back then. Myself, reincarnation is ruthless!
However, the escorts were all on guard against his smile.
I don’t blame them for being like this, because they have seen a lot and have extensive experience. People they meet on the escort road, whether old or children, are likely to be robbers. It’s strange that thieves also have many tricks. If you are not careful, you will be caught. If someone robs property, his or her life may be at risk.
Ye Chen knew this very well. He had been an escort and understood it very well.
"Brother, the front is Zhuxian Town." A bodyguard stepped forward and asked Ye Chen. Although he was cautious, he was much calmer, cheerful and heroic than those bodyguards.
"Thirty miles away, Zhuxian Town." Ye Chen smiled.
"Thank you." The escort handed over his hand, turned around and jumped on the big carriage, urging the convoy to move forward, "Hurry up, we'll have a rest when we get to Zhuxian Town. Boss, I'll treat you to a drink."
Don't tell me, his words made the escorts perk up.
With the sound of "joining me", the motorcade gradually moved away.
Ye Chen raised his eyes and watched him off. They were all escorts and tourists. They had traveled all the way. Half of their lives had been on the road. They had traveled all over the country, traveled all over the rivers and mountains, and what was engraved on their bodies was, All are traces of the vicissitudes of time.
At some point, Ye Chen closed his eyes and said leisurely, "How long will you stay with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whooshing sound, and a person appeared. It was Mr. Yang Ge, who looked very embarrassed. As a martial arts master, he thought he was well hidden, but he was still discovered.
"Follow me all the way, you won't want to rob me!" Ye Chen looked at Mr. Yang Ge with a smile.
"Little friend, please stop joking." Mr. Yang Ge coughed, "I have a thief's heart, but I don't have the courage to do so! I'm following you all the way because I'm afraid that my little friend will make a mistake and come here to protect you secretly."
"Hearing what you mean, you also want to visit the old grave?"
"You're here, it's okay to go and have a look." Mr. Yang Ge chuckled. Maybe his life was too peaceful and he was tired of being too dull, so he wanted to find some excitement. And this so-called excitement was the old grave. , he couldn't suppress his curiosity and wanted to see the world with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled, said nothing, and got up on the road.
Yang Ge Lao hurriedly followed. Compared to Ye Chen, his legs and feet were much lighter.
The two of them walked in tandem with a very clear goal. They headed straight to the east, crossed a big river, walked through ten miles of plains, and then passed through ten miles of jungles, before stopping in front of a large mountain.
From the outside, it's hidden by the mountains, so there's nothing special about it.
However, if you look carefully, you can see the aura of rays of light, which seems to be faintly visible. It is a treasure aura. Only places with extremely prosperous Feng Shui can have such treasure aura. In the world of monks, it is called the power.
"The extremely gloomy place has feng shui created by nature." Ye Chen murmured.
"What are you talking about, little friend?" asked Mr. Yang Ge.
"Nothing." Ye Chen said casually and stepped in.
Yang Gelao glanced around, hesitated, and finally followed Ye Chen.
As soon as they entered the mountains, there was a wisp of wind blowing in front of them. It was cool and eerie. Ye Chen was okay, but Mr. Yang Ge was wary and felt that someone was secretly watching him.
Ye Chen looked calmly as he walked along.
Any fortune teller, as long as he is not a magician, knows a little bit about Feng Shui, let alone him who is in charge of Zhou Tian. He can see through the yin and yang of this place at a glance. He is extremely sure that the person who builds the tomb of the surviving person must be familiar with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, otherwise , would not look for such a feng shui treasure.
"My little friend, let's go!" Yang Gelao tugged at Ye Chen.
"What, are you scared?" Ye Chen smiled.
"It's not that I'm afraid, this place is too evil." Yang Ge smiled and said, and subconsciously glanced around. The feeling of being stared at became more and more intense at this moment.
"If you want to leave, you go, I won't leave." Ye Chen said and raised his feet again.
Elder Yang Ge looked confused and followed him again.
In this way, the two people lost sight of each other and walked deeper and deeper.
In a trance, misty clouds began to appear, and it was so gloomy. Even Mr. Yang Ge, who had internal power to protect his body, suddenly felt the cool breeze, and his precious little heart was beating thumpingly.
Ye Chen was still so calm, watching as he walked.
Deep in the mountains, there are many ancient trees and mottled rocks. There are a few places where people have marked them. Most of them are tomb robbers, fearing that they will be confused by Yin and Yang and leave a way out in advance.
Half an hour later, an old grave came into view.
Around the tomb, there are stone pillars standing and many ancient pines planted.
Apart from that, there are many potholes and messes, and you can tell at a glance that they are tomb robbers. They dug the holes and threw the ancient bricks everywhere, and half of the tomb collapsed.
The yin energy here is the strongest.
What is puzzling is that there is a tomb but no tombstone, and no one knows who is buried.
"Where is the tombstone?" Mr. Yang Ge looked left and right.
"The tombstone is below." Ye Chen said calmly.
After finishing speaking, he handed a yellow talisman to Mr. Yang Ge.
"What is this?" Mr. Yang Ge asked curiously.
"Keep it close to your chest, and also, follow me closely after you go in. Don't wander around, let alone touch the things in the tomb." Ye Chen said, went around the tomb, found a robbery hole, and got in.
Yang Ge Lao Ma Liu followed and put the yellow talisman on his body.
This guy was really thoughtful. He was afraid that the yellow talisman would fall off halfway, so he tied it up with a rope.
When I saw the Robber's Cave, I saw a long and narrow tomb passage, extremely dark.
Yang Gelao lit a candle and grabbed the corner of Ye Chen's clothes, not daring to let go. He walked all the way in and saw that Ye Chen wanted to laugh. After all, he was a master of martial arts. It was so touching that he was so timid.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them passed through the tomb passage and entered the ancient tomb.
This is a tomb chamber with a radius of a hundred feet. Many utensils are scattered on the ground and it is in a mess. It seems that most of the damage was caused by previous tomb robbers looking for treasures.
These are all normal.
What is abnormal is that there are eight sarcophagi in this tomb, arranged in a circle around two stone lamps. Each sarcophagus is sealed, but there are signs of being pried. There are three or two sarcophagi. Underneath, there are bones, not of the owner of the tomb, but of the tomb robbers. They must have been killed by a trap or an unclean evil thing.
"Which of the eight coffins is the real thing?" Mr. Yang Ge said in astonishment.
"Yin Yang Bagua." Ye Chen murmured to himself. It could be seen that the eight sarcophagi were placed according to the directions of the Bagua, and the two stone lamps represented Yin and Yang.
This was not a real tomb, he had known it since he came in.
The eight coffins and the two stone lamps were actually a deception, and they were based on the Eight Diagrams. Any rash actions would trigger the organs. Looking at these, he became even more certain that the person who built the tomb must have knowledge of Yin and Yang and must know the Eight Diagrams. , must know the five elements, most of them are strangers.
There are many talents among mortals.
"How did these two lamps light up without lamp oil?" When Ye Chen looked at it, Mr. Yang Ge was already squatting on the ground, curiously looking at the two stone lamps. There was indeed no lamp oil, but there was a flame burning.
Looking at it, he blew lightly.
"Don't move." Ye Chen shouted loudly.
However, his reminder was still too late. Mr. Yang Ge had already blown out the fire of the stone lamp.
Suddenly, the tomb shook violently.
Immediately, small holes were exposed on the wall, and arrows were shot out from the small holes. The air was stabbed with a whooshing sound. The large number was like a rain of arrows, which made people's scalp numb.
Seeing this, Yangge Laodun's expression changed.
Ye Chen's face was ugly enough. In his mortal form, he was also afraid of such traps. If he was too slow to dodge, he might be shot into a sieve, which was particularly embarrassing.
"Be careful, little friend." Yang Gelao hissed, took a step forward, and stood in front of Ye Chen. He pulled out a long sword from his waist and danced it wildly to resist the incoming arrows.
Pound pound pound...!
The sound of the collision between the long sword and the arrow was very clear, and sparks flew out.
He was a master of martial arts, and his body skills were outstanding. Ye Chenjing saw Yang Gelao standing in front of him, blocking and blocking from left to right. None of the raining arrows could break through his defense.
It's a shame that he is a martial arts master.
If this were an ordinary mortal, someone like Ye Chen would kneel down on the spot as soon as a wave of arrows were fired at him. Ye Chen would be very lucky to have a martial arts master protecting him.
The arrows came and went quickly, and the tomb quickly fell into silence.
Ye Chen was fine and his hair was intact.
Looking at Mr. Yang Ge again, he felt a little embarrassed. He was shot in the arm and was in a very embarrassed state.
"You're already dead, and you still mess with so many institutions." Mr. Yang Ge cursed, but he was pissed. He pulled out the arrow and then tapped the acupuncture point on his arm to stop the spurting of blood.
"I told you, don't move." Ye Chen said angrily.
"This time, I have a better memory." Yang Ge smiled awkwardly, regretting that he should have listened to Ye Chen's warning, and regretted that he should have been so mean-spirited and blew the stone lamp, thus triggering the mechanism in the tomb.
"Don't mess with these useless things." Ye Chen scolded and stuffed Yang Gelao with a bag.
"What do you want to give the old glutinous rice to?"
"What do you think?" Ye Chen also picked up a small bag of glutinous rice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an extra layer of black stuff at the foot of the wall. If he looked carefully, he saw that they were small insects, surrounding them from all directions. The number was so huge that it was impossible to estimate.
"This... what is this." Yang Gelao suddenly felt his scalp numb.
"Gu insect." Ye Chen said calmly.
