A hundred miles away, with his sword on his back and his seriously wounded body, he raised his hands to the man in front of him and saluted: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for saving my life! Could you please give me your name?"
"I am in Xilinghou, my surname is Zijin, my single name is Shan! I just took action, it was really my job. I was a righteous monk, how could I watch the passage being harmed by evil spirits!"
"Anyway, I still have to thank you fellow Taoist! I'm carrying the sword on my lower back! I originally investigated the series of strange things nearby with my two nephews, but unexpectedly, I met those three masters of the Yuanxu stage! I think the soul master should be a cultivator
As for the monks who practice soul magic, the other two don’t seem like Middle-earth monks!”
Zi Jinshan nodded: "Fellow Daoist Back Sword, what you expected is good! I also came here because of the nearby corpse-refining poison invading mortals. According to my estimation, this is probably..." Zi Jinshan paused, and Back Sword was also smart.
Person: "Haha! If fellow Taoist Zijin has any inconvenience, just don't say anything!~"
Zi Jinshan waved her hand: "Haha! There's nothing bad to say! It's just that this matter involves a past event many years ago..."
"And our Xiling Marquis' mission is to guard the underground royal tombs! Make sure this side is safe..."
Back Sword has also heard this related legend. According to legend, many years ago, Yongzhou did not have such a large land. To the west of Yongzhou, there was a country called Yan!
The strength of the Yan State was relatively weak, and finally, under the iron heel of the Yongzhou army, it became history...
Yongzhou annexed the Kingdom of Yan, but did not exterminate the royal family of the Kingdom of Yan. In order to conquer all the parties with his virtue, the ruler of Yongzhou at that time gave a fiefdom to the descendants of the Yan royal family in the west of Yongzhou Kingdom! And built a huge underground
In the royal mausoleum, the King of Yan and a large number of soldiers who died in the Yan Kingdom were buried among the dead! There were also a large number of treasures and palace maids buried with them...
This move is a show by the leader of Yongzhou, telling outsiders that he is a benevolent monarch! (Damn, the country has been destroyed by others, how can you pretend to be kind!)
A few years later, the descendants of the Yan royal family gradually declined, so this fiefdom was given to the new marquis!
Everyone originally thought that the Yan Kingdom had completely disappeared in the long river of history, but no one expected that hundreds of years ago, the tomb of King Yan was actually haunted, and the whole family of Xilinghou was killed until no one was left alive...
The imperial court sent a large number of cultivators to investigate the matter. It turned out that the ghosts in the underground royal tombs had long-standing grudges again. The grudges became deeper and deeper, and they had to be released...
The deceased King Yan was reborn...
This is not a small matter, it can be said to be a major event that shakes the foundation of the country...
The then-lord of Yongzhou sent capable men into the royal tomb, sealed King Yan in the crystal coffin, and wiped out all the resentful souls inside...
However, everyone understands that the underground royal tomb has become an unstable bomb that may cause big trouble at any time.
Because the underground royal tomb of King Yan is to the west, and this area is close to the royal tomb, the marquis of this fiefdom is called the "Xilinghou"!
Each Xiling Marquis is not hereditary, but after the death of the previous Xiling Marquis, the next one must choose the one who has the ability to take up the responsibility!
The Marquis of Xiling has also become a "position" guarding royal tombs for generations. It is very different from other fiefdom princes...
"Fellow Taoist Zijin, could it be that something happened again in the underground royal tomb?" Bei Jian recalled that when he fought against the Soul Lord, the opponent's soul body and soul flame had to go in that direction...
The Marquis of Xiling did not deny it, but nodded: "Alas! The souls of the underground royal tombs are ready to move! The Jin army on the border is watching with eager eyes... Our country, Yongzhou, is about to fall into a great turmoil..."
