Chapter 36 Going down to the tomb
After there was no one in the courtyard.
Yu Canghai murmured, "Do you want to harm the martial arts world? No!"
He shook his head firmly, "I am not being harmed, I just made a sacrifice! If the Qingcheng Sect had the same foundation as the other Five Mountains, why would I have to snatch the "Evil-Defeating Sword Manual"? Everything I did was for the future of the Qingcheng Sect!"
After a self-hypnosis, Yu Canghai felt that his contribution could be called great, and he felt much better.
As for who released the news.
First of all, it is impossible for him and Yue Buqun, and secondly, it is impossible for other sects that did not get the sword manual, because the rumor clearly targeted the court, and the serious martial arts sects would never do this. So from this point of view, the target is already very clear.
Most likely it is the master who is hiding in the dark to hunt down the Jinyiwei.
As for the specific identity of the other party, he doesn't want to know.
The cut has been cut, and there is no point in saying more. Now he just wants his sacrifice not to be wasted.
Returning to the room and opening the secret compartment, Yu Canghai carefully put the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" into it. This will be the future of his Qingcheng Sect, huh? !
Yu Canghai frowned and took out all the secret books.
After a brief inspection, he found nothing missing, but an extra manuscript of "Songfeng Divine Sword"!
He flipped through the secret books with a gloomy expression.
At a glance, it can be seen that this is something that is innovative on the original "Songfeng Sword Technique".
But each move is much more refined than the original.
And the more you look down, the more exquisite the sword technique becomes, and the luck breathing method matched with it is also much more complicated. Yu Canghai's eyes are red when he sees the end.
He trembled all over, holding the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" in one hand and the "Songfeng Divine Sword" in the other.
He kept spitting out: "Why! Why! Why?!"
The voice kept getting higher and higher, and the last shrill voice was shouted out.
Yu Canghai wanted to tear up the "Songfeng Sword" at this moment, but when his inner force reached his hand, he reluctantly dispersed it.
A slight sobbing sound began to sound in the room.
A few drops of tears fell on the cover of "The Book of Exorcism Sword", which seemed a bit ironic.
In fact, Lu Yuan did not intend to play such a joke with Yu Canghai.
If he knew that Yu Canghai still had the "Songfeng Sword" in his hand, he would put the "Songfeng Sword" on the table when he left.
It can only be said that Yu Canghai's actions against Yue Buqun many times not only deceived the major sects in the martial arts world, but also deceived Lu Yuan.
All this can only be said to be fate.
Unlike Yu Canghai, who was sad in the room, Lu Yuan and the others had just left Chengdu Prefecture and headed towards Shaanxi.
The previous news about "The Book of Exorcism Sword" was indeed spread by the two of them.
This was something that had been planned long ago. They said they would cause trouble for the court, so they would naturally do it. After the martial arts world digested it for a while, they would continue to release more content.
As for the reactions of the Jianghu and the imperial court, he was too lazy to pay too much attention.
The two of them strolled and arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain two days later.
Lu Huaer, who had heard the stories of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Condor Heroes, naturally knew why Lu Yuan came.
On the one hand, there are many Taoist temples here, just like Qingcheng Mountain.
Secondly, there is the legendary Tomb of the Living Dead here.
Compared with other sects that would not even have their foundations left after their demise, the Tomb Sect, which was hidden underground and had its entrance sealed, was obviously more intact.
To put it bluntly, Lu Yuan was greedy for the martial arts of the Tomb Sect.
The two of them asked along the way and barely found the ruins of the Quanzhen Sect.
As Lu Yuan expected, after two hundred years, there were only weeds and a few gravels left here.
The two of them went to the back mountain along the ruins.
On the way, Lu Yuan used the technique of dividing gold to determine the location and adjusted the direction all the way.
Because the Tomb Sect was not a real tomb, it took Lu Yuan a long time to survey the terrain and determine the location.
Finally, an area was demarcated.
After searching for a while, Lu Yuan even found the Broken Dragon Stone from a hundred years ago.
Now how to get in has become a problem.
As for sneaking in through the pool as described in other time-travel novels, Lu Yuan directly denied it because there is no pool around.
Two hundred years have passed, and there have been too many changes. It is even a question whether the interior has collapsed now.
"How can we get in here?" Lu Huaer patted the Broken Dragon Stone, "Did the two seniors never come out after they went in?"
"Of course!"
This woke Lu Yuan up. This ancient tomb was the last place where Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu lived in seclusion. As Lu Huaer said, even if they were to buy some necessities, they would definitely come out again, so the back road of the ancient tomb must be more than just the pool.
What's more, during the Yitian period, Yang Guo's descendants also appeared.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan asked Lu Huaer to wait for a while, and he used light skills to explore the surrounding terrain again.
Then, excluding some terrains that could not be used as exits and some less hidden locations, the scope was narrowed again.
Then the next step was to explore slowly. Lu Yuan calculated the time and found that there was still plenty of time.
So the two spent most of the daytime looking for ways and communicating in the mountains, and a small part of the time exploring near the ancient tomb.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan mastered the skills of tomb robbing, otherwise he would not be able to understand whether the terrain had changed or whether the soil was still fresh, let alone effective exploration.
In this way, another half a month passed.
That afternoon, the knocking sound from the shovel finally showed a difference.
Lu Yuan called Lu Huaer, who was reading a storybook under a tree to enjoy the cool.
"Found it?" The girl ran over expectantly.
"It should be right here!"
Lu Yuan squatted down, put one hand on the side of a flat rock, and began to increase his strength. The rock and the ground suddenly made a harsh friction sound.
As the rock moved away, a dark hole appeared.
There is a stone staircase at the edge of the cave entrance that extends all the way to the inside.
"What does this smell like?" Lu Hua'er took a few steps back and fanned the tip of her nose with her little hand.
"The smell of damp decay."
Lu Yuan gave the answer. He noticed that the side of the rock was deliberately carved with a grab handle. It was obviously to make it easier for someone to get in and then pull the rock inside to seal the hole. This further proved that this was the entrance to the ancient tomb.
"Are we going in?" Although Lu Hua'er covered her mouth and nose, her expression was eager to try.
"Don't worry, it's been too long. Let it breathe first. We still need to prepare some things."
Lu Yuan was always cautious when doing things, let alone this kind of adventure into the tomb.
The two of them used hay to cover themselves slightly to allow for ventilation and to avoid being discovered by others. Although it was hidden enough here, just in case.
This wait lasted a whole night.
That day, Lu Yuan and his two men came back with enough people. They first threw the tits in the bamboo cage inside. After confirming that the air was safe, they put on masks, lit torches, and descended into the tomb.
The upper part was covered again with hay.
The stairs going deep down were not long, and the two of them quickly reached the bottom.
Lu Yuan led the way, walking very carefully, tapping the ground or wall with the shovel in his hand from time to time.
No less than a dozen traps were avoided along the way, although those traps may have been damaged.
But even so, Lu Yuan and the two still got lost several times.
If ordinary people came here, they would probably not be able to tell the direction.
However, Lu Yuan's memory was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he left marks from time to time, and he soon discovered a correct path.
After passing through the forked tomb passages containing mechanisms, a huge stone chamber that looked like it had the atmosphere of life appeared in front of them.
Unfortunately, the neatness and solemnity that I imagined did not appear. What I saw was corpses and bones all over the ground, as well as rusty swords.
"There was a fight here?!" Lu Hua'er was shocked.
Lu Yuan didn't expect to see such a situation. He noticed the carvings on the side of the skeleton in the corner. When he took a closer look, it read:
[The thief Shi Hongshi, betrayed his trust, repaid kindness with hatred, colluded with the court, and will not die a good death! 】
Shi Hongshi?
Has this name ever appeared in gold novels?
Lu Yuan couldn't help but fell into thinking. Soon, he thought of the girl in yellow shirt who appeared at the end of the movie Etian. The little girl next to her seemed to be named Shi. Could it be her?
"It seems that the source of the accident is this person named Shi Hongshi." Lu Hua'er also came to the side at this time.
"Maybe, too much has happened in the past two hundred years. Let's go and check out other tombs. I hope there is something left behind."
Next, the two of them visited almost all the tombs around them, but they were all empty, with nothing left.
"Lu Yuan, didn't you say there is a stone wall with the "Nine Yin Manual" engraved on it? Are there other secret rooms that we haven't discovered?"
"Let me think."
Lu Yuan remembered that there was indeed a secret room, and the entrance was in the tomb where the ancient tomb sect's coffin was placed.
But now all the tombs are empty, and there are no coffins anywhere.
Lu Yuan and the two searched again.
Finally, through tapping, Lu Yuan found the entrance to an empty tomb with a floor full of dirt.
