Chapter 69 Chapter Nine: People Light Candles

All three were taken aback.It was pitch black all around. Hearing Da Kui let out a muffled hum, Lian Xing asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, Da Kui?" Hastily lit the fire with a flint, and in that instant, Da Kui's huge body had disappeared without a trace. Xiao Longnv and Lian Xing glanced at each other, feeling bad in their hearts. Lian Xing bent down to observe the traces under the tomb passage.There were only three footprints on the ground, the two big footprints were left by myself and Da Kui just now, and the line of delicate footprints beside it should be left by Xiao Longnu.Other than that, no marks were seen.

Lian Xing's heart sank, could it be that there really are some ghosts in this underground royal tomb?Otherwise, how could Da Kui disappear without a trace in an instant? Lian Xing looked at Xiao Long Nu. Xiaolongnv Bingxue is smart, she has already seen what Lian Xing meant, she shook her head and said, "It's not a ghost." Lian Xing looked at the empty royal tomb and said in a low voice, "Then what are you talking about?" Xiao Longnv said: "It's a human being." Lian Xing said in a deep voice, "You mean there are other people here besides us?"

Xiao Longnu nodded, pointed to the southeast corner of the tomb passage, and said, "Look." At that time, Lian Xing and Xiao Longnu were standing in the tomb passage of Yedi's Mausoleum, only a few feet away from the main tomb. And the southeast corner is also a side hall, which is opposite to the side hall where they came out just now. Lian Xing looked towards the side hall.At some point, a faint candle was already lit in that side hall. Lian Xing's heart moved, and he took a few steps forward. This time, he saw clearly that there was indeed a candle burning by the wall in the side hall.

The candle flame flickered on and off, and kept swinging. Lian Xing remembered that when the three of them came in just now, the side hall was still pitch black, and there were no candles at all! It seemed that someone really followed them in.Lian Xing suddenly remembered the blue figure he saw in the corridor just now, could it be him?If yes, then who is this person? Xiao Longnu came over, Lian Xing told Xiao Longnu about seeing that blue figure just now. Xiao Longnv said: "Although I don't know who that person is, I know that person must be one of Captain Mojin." Lian Xing was a little puzzled, and asked, "How can you see that?"

Xiao Longnv said: "Your master must have never told you about the rules of Captain Touching Gold." Captain Mojin and the Taoists of Qianshan are in the same situation, and the Moshan faction has always kept their mouths shut about Captain Mojin, rarely mentioning it.So Lian Xing really doesn't know about Captain Mo Jin's situation.Coupled with the fact that Xiu Tianluo, the second eldest disciple of Mojin's sect who had been captured by the Moving Mountain School a few years ago, was afraid that Captain Mojin would find out and ask him to incriminate him.Apart from the six disciples, even the other disciples didn't know much about this matter.Lian Xing shook his head frequently when he saw Xiao Longnv mentioning the rules of Captain Mojin.

Xiao Longnv said: "We have four sects for fighting gold, Captain Mojin is one of them. I heard from my grandfather that when Captain Mojin was working, the patriarch had a rule that whenever a large tomb was dug, In the underground palace of the tomb, light a candle, place it in the southeast corner, and then open the coffin to touch the gold. When you do it, you must not damage the remains of the deceased, and touch from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet lightly, and finally leave a piece of gold for the deceased. Two treasures. In the meantime, if the candle in the southeast corner goes out, you must put the property back as it was, respectfully kowtow three times, and go back the same way. Among our four sects, only the Mojin sect can There is this rule."

Lian Xing nodded and said: "So that's the case. Since he is a human being, we can deal with it easily. Let's look for it. There are only a few places in the royal tomb. I don't believe we can't find him." Xiao Longnv nodded, and the two walked around the side hall of the imperial mausoleum one by one. The four auxiliary halls underground in the royal tomb are all empty and completely deserted. Lian Xing murmured: "Could it be possible to go to heaven?" Xiao Longnv said: "Now the tomb where Emperor Ye is buried is gone, let's go there and have a look."

Xiao Longnu and Lian Xing turned around and walked to the door of the main tomb.Lian Xing stopped in his tracks and listened attentively, but there was no sound inside. The two stepped in immediately, and saw that the tomb was even taller. From the top to the bottom, it was more than thirty feet high, fifty or sixty feet horizontally, and seventy to eighty feet deep. The whole space looked magnificent and unusual.In the tomb, there is a huge king's coffin. Xiao Longnv looked at the king's coffin, couldn't help but exclaimed, and said in a broken voice, "This is Jiaozimu's coffin!"

Lian Xing frowned, and said, "Jiazimu?" Xiao Longnv said: "Yes, this is the king's coffin made of Jiaozi wood." Lian Xing asked: "Is this cellar wood very precious?" The little dragon girl said: "Not only is it precious, this cellar tree grows in the shade of the ravine in the deep mountains and old forests, where the sun never shines. This kind of tree has never seen the sun since it grew up. Ordinary trees, every day A ring grows every year, and this kind of tree that does not see the sun, it takes tens or hundreds of years for its rings to grow. This is called Jiaozi wood, do you think it is precious or not?"

Lian Xing rubbed his nose and said, "It seems that this cellar wood is more precious than that gold." Xiao Longnv smiled and said, "That's true." Lian Xing looked around, and saw that there was another coffin next to the king's coffin, which was slightly smaller than the king's coffin, and a phoenix flying with its wings was painted on it. A clay figurine kneeled in front of the king's coffin. The clay figurine's facial features, mouth and nose were lifelike, kneeling on the ground, with hands behind their backs, as if bowing their heads. Lian Xing asked strangely: "Long'er, why do you think there is such a clay figurine in this tomb?"

Xiao Longnu shook her head, and said: "I don't know about this either. There are quite a few clay figurines buried in the tombs of ordinary emperors, but there is usually another burial pit for clay figurines. I have never heard of it being buried in this emperor's tomb." There are also in the main tomb of the king's tomb." Xiao Longnv was curious, she couldn't help stepping forward, stretched out her hand and pushed, the clay figurine fell down. Lian Xing and Xiao Longnu were stunned, they didn't expect this clay figurine to be so fragile. I saw that the mud seal on the clay figurine's body parted to the two sides, and a young man with wide-open eyes suddenly appeared in the middle. Xiao Longnu was startled, she never imagined that there was a young man who had been dead for thousands of years in this clay figurine. The man had sharp eyebrows, thin lips, delicate features, his hands were tied behind his back, and he knelt on the ground.There is a faint trace of dried blood between the eyes, ears, nose and mouth.From the young man's brows, there was even more sadness and resentment. Looking at the situation, it seems that Yedi sent someone to seal it alive with mud to create such a clay figurine. Lian Xing and Xiao Longnv looked at each other, and thought: "Who is this person? Why was he sealed alive in the clay figurine by Ye Di? What kind of grievances do he have with Ye Di?"
