Judging from the name, it is definitely no ordinary treasure.
Yan Shouyi's eyes lit up, but with an embarrassed smile on his face, he said in denial: "The tomb beast is your ancestral treasure, right? Is it appropriate to give it to me?"
Li Chongxi shook his head nonchalantly: "I'm no longer the tombkeeper, and the tomb-suppressing beast won't do much good in my hands. You can take it quickly."
Since Li Chongxi was so "enthusiastic", Yan Shouyi did not shirk away. There were Li Chongxi's personal belongings on the table beside the bed, and Yan Shouyi easily found the pair of tomb beasts.
The tomb-suppressing beasts are made of bronze, one is Taotie (tāotiè) and the other is Qiongqi.
Taotie and Qiongqi, along with Chaos and 梼杌 (táowù), are collectively known as the four evil beasts in ancient times. According to legend, they are the posthumous incarnations of four gods, namely Sanmiao, Huāndōu, Gun (gǔn) and Gonggong. Because of their Those who do many evil things and fail to cultivate virtue will be demoted to the mortal world and become.
"The Book of Mountains and Seas - Hai Nei Bei Jing" says: "It looks like a tiger with wings. It eats people from the head, and the food they eat is sent to the north of the dog. It is called from the foot."
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas Beishan Jing" says: "On Gouwu Mountain there are many jade, and there is much copper below. There is a beast, its shape is like a sheep's body and a human face, its eyes are under the armpits, tiger's teeth and human claws, its sound For example, a baby named Roe Deer Owl (páoxiāo) is a cannibal."
The pair of tomb-suppressing beasts in Yan Shouyi's hands have a ferocious head, piercing eyes, a protruding nose, a huge mouth, sharp teeth like saws, and a pair of curved horns on the head, which are like ram's horns.
Qiongqi looks like a tiger, is covered in hedgehog fur, has wings, and is no less ferocious than Taotie.
These two tomb-suppressing beasts are only about the size of a palm, and are as big as ancient jade seals. However, there are no seals under their bases, and they look more like two miniature stone lions.
Weighing these two tomb-suppressing beasts, Yan Shouyi was a little doubtful: Do these two small stone sculptures really have the effect of suppressing tombs?
Tomb suppression, as the name suggests, does not allow things inside the tomb to come out, nor does it allow things from outside to approach.
Li Chongxi introduced softly: "There are four grave beasts in total. I only have Qiongqi and Taotie in my hand. Chaos and Taotie have disappeared, but even so, Qiongqi and Taotie are very powerful."
"In the past, when they were placed outside the imperial mausoleum, any evil creature that came close would either be sealed by Qiongqi or devoured by Taotie. They have never missed it for hundreds of years!"
Hearing this, Yan Shouyi was shocked, feeling as if the two tomb beasts in his hands were about to come to life at any moment.
He sensed carefully, and indeed noticed something strange in the bodies of the two tomb-suppressing beasts, but it was obvious that the tomb-suppressing beasts were just dead objects, props for their owners to use, and would not take the initiative to attack.
"In the future, if you don't want evil things to come close, you only need to place the Tomb Suppressor Beast outside the door. With both of them around, ordinary ghost kings can't break through."
"It is indeed a good treasure!" Yan Shouyi was very grateful, "Thank you, Senior Li!"
"There is no need to say thank you, but I want to thank you for untying the shackles of our Li family," Li Chongxi added, "If you are lucky enough to be able to find two other tomb-suppressing beasts in the future and gather the four tomb-suppressing beasts, you can Being able to place a large formation of four ferocious beasts, as for the effect...you should be able to imagine it."
Yan Shouyi nodded solemnly.
Two tomb-suppressing beasts can already stop ordinary ghost kings. How about four tomb-suppressing beasts?
I'm afraid even a powerful ghost king like Shi Jing can't get even close!
Yan Shouyi was satisfied with the gift from Li Chongxi and chatted with Li Chongxi for a while. He didn't give up until Lao Jin came in and asked Yan Shouyi to leave.
Li Chongxi is still recovering from his injuries and needs a good rest. He cannot talk too much to Yan Shouyi.
So, after bidding farewell to Li Chongxi, Yan Shou walked out of his house, pulled Lao Jin and said:
"Lao Jin, we are going back to Rongcheng soon."
"So fast?" Lao Jin said in surprise.
"I will explain the specific situation to you slowly later. How is the condition of the patient on your hand now? Can you pull away?"
Lao Jin is the "team doctor" in Yan Shouyi's team. Although he is not strong in combat, Yan Shouyi always wants to take him with him in case of accidents.
Lao Jin nodded: "All patients have turned the corner. All they need to do next is to rest quietly and recuperate. Even if they are transferred to an ordinary hospital, it will be no problem."
"That's good. You go pack your things, and I'll say hello to Mr. Qin Liu. We'll meet here in ten minutes, and then go straight to the airport."
It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its most fierce.
Lao Jin lifted up his H-shaped vest, revealing his white belly, wiped his sweat and packed his things.
Yan Shouyi went directly to Master Qin Liu. After greeting him, he asked about the situation of the Ma family brothers and sisters.
Ma Jinxuan was okay, but Ma Xingping still needed some time to recover, so Ma Jinxuan decided to stay with Mr. Qin Liu until Ma Xingping recovered and then went to Rongcheng to seek refuge with Yan Shouyi.
The two escaped death this time, thanks to the help of Yan Shouyi and others. After learning that Yan Shouyi decided to establish his own power, they chose to join without hesitation.
Well, there are many reasons.
For example, Yan Shouyi saved them, for example, they were tired of living a wandering life...
But the most important thing is that Yan Shouyi is recognized by them.
"Brother Ma, just recuperate in Chang'an. I know there are still many things that need to be dealt with here, so I will keep Lao Wang and Lao He when the time comes. When the things in Chang'an are settled, you can come to Rongcheng with them.
Find me." Yan Shouyi consoled him.
Chang'an is now in chaos, especially since Li Chongxi is still recovering from his injuries, the civil sects are leaderless, and Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is even more of a mess.
If Liang Yinqiu and the others encounter any problems again, I'm afraid they won't be able to find anyone to solve them for a while.
So Yan Shouyi decided to let the most reliable Wang Jiwang and He Xiping stay temporarily to deal with the aftermath.
After arranging everything, Yan Shouyi bid farewell to Qin Liuye and the others and met with Lao Jin.
The car was already prepared. The two of them got in the car and went straight to the airport. Others had already set off for the airport.
Looking at the receding street scene outside the car window, Yan Shouyi said in his heart: Goodbye, Chang'an!
In Chang'an, he experienced several thrilling experiences, and even saw off General Qingjiang and Princess Yushu.
From now on, no one can be Yan Shouyi's backer in times of crisis.
Although he lost the strong backing of General Qingjiang, Yan Shouyi also gained a lot, such as the True Dragon Purple Qi, the Ancestral Dragon Sword, the inheritance of Qin Shihuang, etc., and the most critical thing was Lin Zitong's fate.
Oh yes, and also, I learned the news that I am a father.
Thinking of this, a warm smile appeared on Yan Shouyi's face again, and he secretly vowed that he would protect his wife and children.
Anyone who wants to harm his wife and children must first ask Yan Shouyi if he agrees!
