Chapter 50: Shocked to hear about the killing feast
Few people had time to exchange greetings.
Led by Wang Yunhu, local master Fan Zhang, the Ma family brothers and others immediately went to the tomb again with the "zhengcai" inserted on the wooden stakes.
Only the boss of the Ma family, who had indirectly felt the force of Wang Yuan's last punch, looked at him thoughtfully before going to the grave.
“It’s pretty strong.”
Wang Yuan just smiled. Since he had snatched [Weird]'s head, he did not follow him down to join in the fun. He just stood at the entrance of the robbery cave and looked inside.
I found that the size of the underground palace of the official mausoleum of the royal family should not be too large, but the tomb passages are very difficult to navigate.
There were people lying on the ground everywhere on the road, including palace maids and eunuchs. Their bodies had not completely decomposed after two hundred years.
Sensing the breath of a living person, each one twisted their uncoordinated bodies and got up from the ground with a "ho ho ho" sound.
These are just ordinary [feminine things], they don’t pick on people they’re familiar with, they bite people when they see them, and they are directly split apart by the Jiang Huzi who are well prepared in front of them.
This group of evil men, who were like wolves and tigers, soon disappeared.
Wang Yuan glanced at Tao Xianniang, who was standing alone in the distance. This sect warlock seemed to have been in a bad mood since the battle, and had been staring down at something in his hand.
Therefore, he did not choose to come forward to join in the fun, but came to Lang Qi, the "Arrogant Military Advisor" who was not good at fighting.
"Brother Lang, how is the progress on the mountain during the two days I have been away?"
"Brother Cui, except for the accident while robbing the tomb, everything else went smoothly, but..."
General Lang Qi successfully sacrificed the third prince Zhou Jingyao, and Fan Zhang and the Ma brothers took charge of the process of excavation of Pei Ling and told Wang Yuan everything in detail.
Finally, she reminded him solemnly:
"You must be extremely careful during this period, especially the remaining eight tombs. If you can't lower them, you won't lower them!"
Even if you go to the grave, let others take the lead.
‘The eagle sees the wolf as evil, Liu Dai’s moth eyebrows are murderous, and blood shines through the night for eighteen days. One person goes to the tomb and two come back.’ I suspect there is more than just something treacherous in this tomb!”
Seeing that his old friend "Cui Tong" obviously listened to his words, he continued:
“It is easy to tell fortunes, but difficult to interpret them.
Eagle Watches Wolf Gu refers to the head of the royal clan, which is a sign of "tampering", and now he is organizing the excavation of the royal tomb as a tomb keeper, which is naturally not good.
Liu Dai's moth eyebrows are about the Peach Fairy. Although her moth eyebrows are beautiful, they reveal murderous intent. This murderous intent is directed not only at others but also at herself, which is not a good divination.
In addition, today is still 19 days before the 200th anniversary of King Yili. Someone will die violently every day.
‘One person goes to the tomb and two come back’ is a bit difficult to explain, but I am sure that there are unspeakable dirty things in every tomb, and the best way to deal with it is not to go to the tomb.”
Wang Yuan, whose father's and mother's lines were almost cut off due to the "Owl God's Tomb", naturally knew better than Lang Qi how to deal with this "weird" danger.
I have already started to remove its wings, which is a step further than conspiracy. Although [Owl God Tomb] is sleeping, it cannot be completely unresponsive.
It is normal to have blood all night long.
To put it bluntly, the bandits, themselves, and even the tomb-keepers in Daling Village were just cannon fodder used by the two conveners, Ge Daoye and Wang Yunhu, to smooth the road.
On the contrary, he learned that Wang Yunhu was actually born with a traitorous aspect, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
This was the first time he found an example of this trait around him after seeing it in the "Little Book of Life and Death".
I just don’t know what kind of special abilities this natural difference will bring to the owner.
‘Unless it is used to find [strange things], my [observation of impure] is really not of much use.
But as long as my [Yin Virtue] is sufficient, it won’t be a problem even if I change my [Fate] which is completely impossible to change, let alone being born with different traits.’
Of course, Wang Yuan couldn't be so wasteful. The most valuable thing about him, probably besides this life, was the precious destiny of [White Tiger Holding Power].
After listening to Lang Qi's instructions, Wang Yuan thanked him repeatedly.
Although Lang Qi came from a bad background, he was a man of great love and justice.
He waited until the female wolf and his brother who adopted him died of old age before leaving the wolf pack and returning to human society, and he treated Cui Tong with all his heart.
Compared with many people who send their biological parents to nursing homes, is it more than a hundred times better?
Of course, Wang Yuan felt that for this warlock who could foresee his own "misfortune and fortune", every choice should have profound meaning.
Maybe he instinctively saw in himself the possibility of surviving the crisis safely?
soon.
The group of bandits who went down to the tomb nailed "Chaotianhu Zhengcai" back into their coffin, and also nailed it through the earth's veins, breaking one of the nine protective wings of the [Owl God's Tomb].
Returned to the ground again.
Wang Yuan immediately sensed through his connection with the [Owl God's Tomb] that with the destruction of the tomb, the danger seemed to be slightly away.
This is just like when a super storm is about to usher in the rainy season, and the dam releases water in advance in a planned manner, it can effectively reduce the pressure of flood control and greatly reduce the risk of heavy rains.
Wang Yunhu, the Ma brothers, Fan Zhang, Lang Qi, Cui Tong, and Tao Xianniang, who had regained her composure, gathered together again.
Tao Xianniang, who didn't look strange on her face, first nodded to Wang Yuan and affirmed his achievements:
"Thanks to Brother Cui for arriving in time, otherwise if 'Zheng Cai' escaped, we would have to pay at least several times the price if we tried to catch him again.
Moreover, the task of kidnapping away the medicinal bait last night was also completed very beautifully.
Although I don't have the complete formula of "Sanyang Medicinal Wine" in my hand, I do have several kinds of Seventy-two Magic Techniques that were spread after the collapse of the "Xiangshan Sect", a great sect of left Taoism.
I can give one to Brother Cui after I return."
As expected of someone from an orthodox sect, Tao Xianniang's bold demeanor made the other people jealous.
Immediately, Wang Yunhu, as a landlord, continued:
"[The Tomb of the God of Owls] has nine accompanying tombs, and two hundred years ago when the small court of the Imperial Palace took real power, there were also nine main ministers, and they should all have been regarded as Chaotian households by King Yi.
Unless we open these tombs, we still don’t know that the strange things that happen in Daling Village every year near the King Yili Festival are probably caused by them.
Wild dogs cry at graves, dead people are raised on beams, six animals die suddenly, paper figures carry sedan chairs...the rules of killing should all be related to their duties during life."
At this time, Fan Zhang, a native scholar who was deeply affected by the curse and whose family members were all short-lived, suddenly interjected:
"As far as I know, if a warlock does not respect the commandments and taboos, he will gradually become a demon and alienate, and eventually turn into a [strange] cannibal.
But these ‘Chaotianhu’ who were sacrificed for burial were obviously just ordinary people during their lifetime, so why did they turn into [weird]? What did they experience underground?”
The warlocks present were all lay people with no sect, and he was not the only one who had this question. He immediately looked at Tao Xianniang, who was born in the sect.
The latter did not avoid the question and explained directly:
"Since we are sorcerers, everyone should know that all kinds of secret 'knowledge' are actually alive.
When we magicians actively pursue Taoism, we are like the ignorant ancestors in ancient times who have just received fire. If we can act according to the precepts, we will be able to prevent disasters and ward off evil spirits.
But if you don't handle it carefully, it will gradually start a prairie fire, and even engulf itself, and eventually it will be catastrophic.
Taoist practice is like having a fire in your heart. Once you become possessed by the devil, you may transform into a demon and become a terrifying [weird]."
Wang Yuan nodded along with everyone, feeling that Tao Xianniang was worthy of being from a big school, and she was even more impressive than he had originally concluded.
Just listen to her continue:
"And the reason why some [weirds] were born is because they were not eaten by other [weirds], but were 'contaminated' and became minions.
Because [Weird] and [Weird Object] are constantly spreading knowledge. The stronger they are, the stronger their ability to spread knowledge.
If it is an ordinary person, an animal or a lonely ghost, it will be overtaken by the living 'knowledge'.
If you don't know what's going on and don't know how to abide by the commandments and taboos, you will quickly become something new [weird].
This is ‘setting yourself on fire’!
Although the strength of these 'minions' is relatively weak, they are enough to increase the killing efficiency tenfold or a hundredfold."
Wang Yuan thought secretly, this is just like me and my [Rakshasa Bone].
After hearing what Tao Xianniang said, Fan Zhang hurriedly continued to ask:
"Then why do these [weird] people, including [Owl God's Tomb], keep killing people? Isn't it just because of instinct?"
Tao Xianniang seemed to have returned to Qingyuan Mountain and was giving lessons to her junior brothers. She subconsciously explained:
"Of course it is to hold a 'killing banquet' one day, using the five types of human beings as grains to brew a cup of long..."
Immediately, she seemed to realize that she had made a mistake and stopped talking.
His eyes contained some complexity and expectation, and he glanced at "Cui Tong" quietly, then changed the subject without leaving a trace:
"In short, every accompanying tomb must gather manpower to break into the main tomb chamber in the shortest possible time to prevent the power of these 'Chaotianhu' from spreading and causing a catastrophe.
Break at least one every day.”
For thousands of years, [Weird] killing people has been a matter of course. Although others were confused, they were not too obsessed with this answer.
Wang Yuan, a caring person, was shocked.
He immediately realized that he had been lurking for several days. After learning about the "grave-digging and stealing luck", he finally got to the core of all this planning.
Chapter completed!
