the enlightener says

"I remember...you said before that you didn't think about the name of this gun. I wonder if you have thought about it now?" Wang Xuanwei asked.

"Let's call it Xuan Wei, it sounds nice." Gao Changgong blinked and smiled.

Wang Xuan's face was sinking like water, he no longer paid attention to this opponent who flaunted his tongue, raised his head and said loudly: "Do you still want to go?"

In the darkness, Qin Ke, who had retreated dozens of steps away, clung to the rock wall with a pale face. He wanted to escape by taking advantage of the chaos below, but he did not expect that he had already disappeared and slowed down his movement, but he was still found up!

If there was only one time, Qin Ke could still think that Wang Xuanwei just happened to be aware of his existence, but because he couldn't prove it, he made a threat.But the second time Wang Xuanwei was still so sure, he had to believe that Wang Xuanwei could indeed capture his position.

It's just that Gao Changgong's body is strong, and he may be able to hear the subtle sounds around him, but how can Wang Xuanwei catch him?

Even if his perception can leave the body, and even build a solid barrier around his body to resist Gao Changgong's straight stab, but his position is at least [-] steps away from Wang Xuanwei. If Wang Xuanwei really has such strength, why avoid Gao Changgong's edge?

Wang Xuanwei looked at a dark rock wall. Although he did not have night vision ability, the chess pieces laid out in advance played a very important role at this time.Among the top members of the Mohist school, he is definitely not the one with the strongest fighting power, but in terms of detection ability, he ranks second in the Mohist school, I'm afraid no one dares to be the number one!

Wang Xuanwei has the winning ticket: "Little brother, I wonder if the innkeeper didn't give you enough monthly money, or you are naturally fond of climbing and climbing walls? Now that you're here, if you can't come out and have a good meeting, I'm afraid outsiders will say that I, Wang Xuanwei, don't know the etiquette. "

After a while, there were a few jumping sounds in the darkness, followed by a cry of pain, and the light of the fire illuminated Qin Ke's thin face and his not tall boyish figure.Let everyone see clearly this inn boy who has been hidden in the darkness for a long time.

Qin Ke walked timidly, only feeling ten thousand drums beating violently in his heart, and his legs trembled because of it.He had never faced such a battle before, and all the members of the Black Cavalry, Gao Changgong and the others cast their gazes over at once.

Because of the fight just now, the sharp edge in the eyes of these people has not faded away, he only felt that countless sharp knives were pierced all over his body in an instant.

Qin Ke was holding the elbow of his left hand with his right hand. When he came down just now, he accidentally fell because of panic, but now, he suddenly felt no pain, only the fear of wanting to escape and the regret of his own fever.

Gao Changgong was probably the only one who didn't know Qin Ke. He whistled, expressing surprise that Qin Ke could hide under his nose for so long: "Please tell me, what's the situation now?"

Abu was younger and couldn't hide things. He looked at Qin Ke in disbelief and said, "Xiaoer...you...how could it be?"

Wang Xuan looked at Zhuge Wanling with a sneer: "Mr. Zhuge, I don't know if this young man is just playing casual chess by you, or is it a seed that has been buried here for many years?"

Zhuge Wanling said calmly: "He has nothing to do with me, nor is he from Jingwu."

Gao Changgong laughed loudly: "This is very interesting, I thought it was a hidden pile of your Mo family."

Wang Xuan said coldly: "If he is the hidden stake of my Mo family, why should I pull him out?"

Qin Ke was a little dizzy by their quarrel. After a long while, he said pitifully, "I'm just saying that I'm just curious, so I came here to have a look. Would you believe me or not?"

Ding Mo was the second person present besides Wang Xuanwei who knew about Qin Ke's cultivation. He took a step forward, stared at Qin Ke and said, "Joke, if you are an ordinary person, how did you hide near us for so long? If you have cultivation... how can a small village support someone like you?"

"Tell me. Which family are you from? Canghai? Tang Country?" Ding Mo asked forcefully.

Qin Ke looked timidly at the black cavalry who was holding the handle of the saber in his right hand, as if he would draw his saber out of its sheath at any time, and said, "I'm not one of them."

"I believe it." Gao Changgong interjected, but no one took his words seriously. In terms of personal force, none of the people present was Gao Changgong's opponent, but the interrupting skills of the Jingwu God of War also made everyone It was obvious to all, and naturally no one cared about his words.

Wang Xuanwei looked at Qin Ke, smiled suddenly, and waved his hands. He motioned for the black cavalry to surround Qin Ke. Naturally, these soldiers would not attack lightly. With the sudden push of the black cavalry, Qin Ke almost hit him head-on. Into Abu's arms: "Forget it, no matter where you are from, now, you can only be a prisoner of my Mo family."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand again, but this time he was not directing the black cavalry. He saw with a flick of his fingers that an invisible force seemed to pass through the black cavalry and float to Abu and Qin Ke.A small beetle seemed to be summoned, and slowly got out from Qin Ke's clothes.

Xuanweizi.

With the flapping of its wings, this Xuanwei also flew up, and soon merged with the large group of Xuanwei behind Wang Xuanwei.Gao Changgong followed the trend and took a step forward. There seemed to be a roaring beast hidden in his body. With a low growl, the invisible power emitted by Wang Xuanwei immediately collapsed and fled back into his body.

Wang Xuan glanced at Gao Changgong slightly, knowing that this was just the sound made by Gao Changgong's bones and muscles squeezing each other. If it were an ordinary practitioner, he might not be able to use such a seemingly rough but delicate method in his entire life.

But he is Gao Changgong, a warrior who can temper his muscles and bones to the extreme, and even has few opponents in the whole world, so everything seems to be taken for granted.

If he still wants to hide Xuanweizi on several people now, he is afraid that he will be shocked to death by such a "tiger, leopard and thunder sound" in a short time.So he didn't make any more unnecessary moves, turned around, and said, "Torch."

Ding Mo respectfully handed over the lit torch.

Holding the torch slightly, Wang Xuanwei squinted his eyes, barely able to see clearly the old, rusty iron bridge in front of him, which seemed to have melted into the wind and frost of the years. The opposite of the iron bridge seemed to be a huge gate with countless carved patterns on it.

"Mr. Zhuge, how about you walk ahead?"

Chapter 12 Snake Slough

The bronze doors were thrown open amidst a terrible noise.

This is the first time Qin Ke has actually seen a tomb clearly. Fortunately, he was able to see such a tomb at least at the level of a prince for the first time. When the old pedants found out about this, they would be able to grab their heads and scold the sky for injustice.

Unfortunately, he was now compelled to lead the way, into that terrible darkness that seemed boundless.

The black knights held torches, watching every move of him and Zhuge Wanling and others, while illuminating the entire bronze gate with torches. The shadows caused the silhouettes of the two stone sculptures on the height to sway in the darkness. , they seemed to be winking at the crowd below.

But because their expressions are too solemn, when they are condescending, they have a bit of divinity looking down on all living beings, making it impossible to connect the playful movements such as blinking with these two statues.

But Qin Ke only felt chills on his back. He always felt that these two statues were not dead at all, but more like alive. At a certain moment, they would suddenly move and swoop down from above, tearing him to pieces .

"What's your name?" Abu whispered.

Perhaps it was because he was also a little uneasy, he looked at Qin Ke, hesitantly said, "My name is Abu, and I am a student of Mr.

"Qin Ke." Qin Ke looked around the tomb, always feeling that something was wrong everywhere in this tomb, but he just had the opportunity to inquire about Zhuge Wan's tomb, and he felt that he couldn't let it go, so he started talking to him.

Jingwu is a country that has just prospered in recent years, but it seems to have swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger. Even the powerful Tang and the Mohists dare not underestimate it. Naturally, they can become the prime minister of Jingwu, the general leader With great power in internal affairs, this Zhuge Wanling must be a remarkable figure.

Abu respected Zhuge Wanling from the bottom of his heart, and Qin Ke quickly felt his sincere respect from his few words, but his own introduction was very plain and simple. In the early years, he gave a rich man The little shepherd boy herding cattle did not start a new chapter in his life until he met Zhuge Wanling.

Qin Ke was slightly taken aback. After meeting his master, isn't it like starting over?Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt some similarities with Abu, and the conversation was a little closer.

The two were innocent teenagers, and the germination of friendship was naturally very logical. If it weren't for the uncomfortable atmosphere inside this huge mausoleum, I'm afraid they would have talked more happily.

Halfway through, Qin Ke seemed to feel Zhuge Wanling's eyes flashing past him. He turned his head to look, but found that Zhuge Wanling's eyes were always looking straight ahead. He thought he might have had an illusion in a trance.

Walking forward, Gao Changgong looked at the lines with the style of the previous dynasty. They were engraved on bronze ritual vessels or pillars. After hundreds of years, they still maintained the solemnity of the year, as if just seeing these lines Feel the prosperity of the previous dynasty.

"Except for the smell of copper rust, it doesn't look like a mausoleum here." Gao Changgong sniffled. Standing beside Zhuge Wanling, he was not flustered when facing such a scene, and his words were still casual.

"Isn't it like a mausoleum?" Zhuge Wanling knew what Gao Changgong wanted to say. Generally speaking, after a hundred years of a mausoleum, because the copper and iron are constantly rusting, the atmosphere in the originally sealed mausoleum will gradually change, making it difficult to breathe. , Therefore, tomb robbers are generally used to fighting with white geese after hitting the cave.

If the posture of the white goose is wrong, they know that the current atmosphere of the mausoleum is not suitable for people to enter.

Some old people say that these are the ghosts of the underworld, and they still refuse to let the tomb be rebuilt. Generally, when the tomb is pierced, after a certain period of time, the breath in the tomb will be completely new. At this time, it proves that the ghosts are over. , went back underground with peace of mind.

Of course, Zhuge Wanling was not such a stupid person who listened to the words of strange powers and gods, so naturally he didn't have much awe for such things.

"The breath is not normal, it's just because it has been blocked from the outside world for too long." Zhuge Wanling said, "Fire candles, rust, these changes will affect the breath in the tomb. If this tomb has always been connected to the outside world, it has not formed A confined space naturally won’t have this kind of problem.”

Speaking of this, Gao Changgong smiled, and whispered: "Is it because of that?"

Zhuge Wanling nodded, didn't say much, just looked at the layout of the mausoleum, and walked slowly step by step.

Walking continuously from the bronze gate, the internal structure has more and more lines. At the back, some murals gradually appear on the walls on both sides.A black knight took the initiative to approach the past and used a torch to illuminate the strokes. The painting on it was fiery red clouds and the undulating sea. It seemed that there was a person standing on the shore and calling out to the sea.

"Ah!" I don't know who yelled first, but when Abu and Qin Ke hugged each other and yelled hoarsely, the original solemn atmosphere in the whole mausoleum became noisy.

"What the hell is this!" Qin Ke stared wide-eyed, staring at the earthen pot about as tall as a person. Under the firelight, the earthen pot was painted with a huge python devouring a tiny person.The fine painting and the ore pigments deposited over the years make the picture vivid, and the blood and broken limbs seem to be broken out of the picture.

But if it is just the fineness of the painting, Qin Ke may not be so frightened. What is frightening to him is that there is a huge tail hanging from the mouth of this earthen jar, with tough and phosphorescent scales. With that soft yet disgusting body, what is it if it is not a boa constrictor?

But if it was a boa constrictor, how could it be as thick as a grown man's waist?

"What's your name?" Gao Changgong was not afraid at all, instead he walked up, looked up and down, and reached out to touch.

"Ah..." Abu couldn't help making a sound from his covered mouth, "Brother Chang Gong, don't..."

But Gao Changgong's movements were far faster than his speaking speed. In the blink of an eye, his hand had already touched the thick tail. It was soft, and it was not a wreck that had decayed for many years, but he didn't know Why didn't it respond to Gao Changgong's touch.

After a while, Gao Changgong grabbed the part of the tail and dragged the whole python out forcefully!

"Ahhhhhh..." Qin Ke and Abu couldn't bear it anymore, the brothers and sisters who were already hugging each other as if they were glued to each other screamed loudly, even Ding Mo, who was struggling to drag the spear beside him, frowned. frown.

And Gao Changgong carefully looked at the things in his hands, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha." Gao Changgong raised his hand and said, "What are you afraid of. This is not a snake."

However, Wang Xuanwei took a step forward with serious eyes: "But it's a layer of skin shed by a snake."

Looking at Qin Ke's pale face, he somehow began to believe that Qin Ke was just a voyeur by chance, not a professional spy.

But at this moment, what he needs to pay more attention to is the snake skin: "Don't be too happy, since there is a snake's shed skin, it proves that there is such a big snake. I heard that there was a witch in the previous dynasty. The technique of Gu, and the earthen pot...maybe also have something to do with this."

"Maybe it will be even bigger." Zhuge Wanling stepped forward, stroking the snake skin carefully, his peaceful expression made Qin Ke and Abu feel their scalps go numb for a while, because of the long time, this snake skin The snake skin has hardened a lot, but Zhuge Wanling can still use this to infer something, "This snake skin did not shed recently, but earlier. And snakes usually shed their skin every two to three months... ... Calculate the time... I'm afraid the road behind us will not be too smooth."

"Turn on the string." Wang Xuan said softly.Almost as soon as he finished speaking, all the black knights, except Ding Mo, who was dragging his long spear and was powerless, all wound up their crossbows in a short breath, and the black arrows shone sharply. .

Gao Changgong was still in the mood to jokingly said: "See, Mr. Wang, the follow-up road is not smooth, maybe the owner of the tomb left a lot of things waiting for us to come and taste them all, why don't you put the gun first Give it back to me, so that I can have more strength."

Wang Xuanwei turned a deaf ear and threw the snake skin on the ground without any hesitation. When he raised his leg and stepped on it, the hardened part of the snake skin made a cracking sound: "Keep moving forward."

Chapter 13 Pulao

Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Wang Xuanwei's persecution forced Qin Ke to continue walking. However, he who originally planned not to look closely at the tomb became sharper, his ears were slightly pricked up, and there seemed to be light in his eyes. And he carefully checked the surroundings, for fear of missing any details.

This is of course not because he is no longer afraid of the python that might come out of the crock pot, on the contrary, it is precisely because of the fear in his heart that he has to deal with these things with all his energy.

Who knows if the python, which may have been unimaginably large, will just hide in a corner or a hole just waiting for them to pass by?

He felt that he was still very young, and it would not be worth it if he was buried in the belly of a snake.Of course, if the master knows what he thinks, I'm afraid he will make fun of him again. If it is said that ordinary people are afraid of pythons, it is understandable, but as a practitioner, he has the power of a practitioner, even if the python is unimaginably big, But his ability is just an ordinary beast, so what is there to be afraid of?

But Qin Ke really couldn't comfort his beating little heart, so he could only speak in a low voice: "Amitabha, Amitabha..."

After reading a few sentences, he suddenly heard a voice very similar to his own next to him. He turned his head, and Abu was frowning with his eyes closed, muttering in a low voice as he walked: "Buddha bless, Sanqing bless... Amitabha is anxious." Urgent as a law..."

Well, this is a complete mix of Taoism and Buddhism.Qin Ke found it funny inexplicably, thinking that if in the sky, the Sanqing worshiped by Taoism and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sat in a group, drinking tea and bickering with each other, what would it be like?

"I'm afraid because I don't know where this place is, why are you afraid?" Qin Ke asked, "Didn't you plan to come here?"

Abu opened his eyes and gave a wry smile: "I came with my husband, but I don't know much...and I'm afraid of the dark...very afraid of the dark."

"Well... you are worse than me." Qin Ke made a conclusion, "I'm just afraid of snakes or things scarier than snakes. I'm not afraid of being black."

"I can see it." Abu scratched his head and said, "You were hiding in such a dark place just now, so you weren't afraid at all. If I hadn't followed Mr. all the way, I probably would have called out."

"I didn't see it." Qin Ke looked at Abu's burly figure compared to him, but now there was a person who was afraid with him. Looking around, he felt like a normal person. At least compared to those black knights with facial paralysis or Zhuge Wanling and Gao Changgong who can still talk and laugh in this kind of place, he feels that his reaction is more like going deep into the mausoleum, rather than taking a walk at night to blow the wind.

The custom of the previous dynasty was to regard height as the most precious and square as the most respected. Naturally, the scale of this mausoleum is so large that it can be said that it is rare even in this world.

And the more they walked in, they only felt that the space became more and more open.The tomb passage is like a wide square, and the flat square bricks are laid on the ground, which is completely like an underground palace. The tall pillars support the entire space, and even though the cloth tens of feet wide has changed over time, It was a mess of rags, but under the blowing of the wind, it swayed slightly, like a dancing skirt.

"This should be the former tomb." Qin Ke murmured in a low voice. Although he didn't know much, he could still make some solid guesses.

At this moment, Qin Ke was taken aback by the reappearance of the slightly majestic stone carving.

The stone sculpture that appeared this time was different from the previous ones. He didn't stand alone, but was like a reptile, clinging to a tall bronze pillar.

Its head is like a lion and it looks like a toad, with antlers on its head, long beards on the tip of its nose, and scales all over its body. Under its snake-like body, there are four limbs.

"Like a dragon?" Abu saw the shape of the stone carving clearly, so he no longer worried that it was a giant python around the pillar. He moved closer, trying to see it clearly under the light of the fire.

"Don't get close to it." Zhuge Wanling spoke suddenly, his voice was calm, but with an unquestionable breath, "If you touch him, we will all die."

Frightened by such a sentence, Abu trembled, not daring to go any closer.

Zhuge Wanling got closer and said, "This is Pu Lao."

Qin Ke remembered.Pulao is said to be one of the dragon's nine sons, who likes to roar, but has always been afraid of the huge whale.Whenever a whale comes near, it roars, and the sound reaches the sky.

And in this tomb, his meaning is naturally a tool for calling the police, used to wake up some... not so good things.

What is the bad thing in the grave?Maybe... the python?Or... more terrifying?

There are only some scattered porcelain and bronze lamps in the tomb passage, but the exquisite workmanship is rare in the world, even if they are sold, they can be exchanged for countless silver.

But Zhuge Wanling didn't care about these things, he walked a few steps, and then he raised his hand and gently touched a part of the bronze lamp.He seemed to touch something.I just touched it for a long time, but there is still no change.

Wang Xuanwei looked at him quietly, there was a black knight beside him who was about to draw a saber and stepped forward to stop him, but he called to stop him.

"Let him go."

Heiqi retreated cautiously. He knew that Wang Xuanwei never really regarded Zhuge Wanling as a lowly prisoner. If it was a different place, maybe he would invite Zhuge Wanling to have a cup of tea and play another game of chess.

Zhuge Wanling touched for a long time, and finally withdrew his hand. Looking at the dust on his hand, he thought for a moment, then raised his hand, and patted it lightly.

"Snapped".

It was just a sound that was not loud, but it seemed to have some kind of magical power. With his beat, the bronze lamp was lit like this!

The flame illuminated Zhuge Wanling's face, and he turned his head and looked around the tomb. Almost at the moment when the flame was lit in front of him, the bronze lamps in the entire main tomb seemed to be activated.

Starting from his position, towards the direction of the distance, these bronze lamps ignited flames one after another, and the light began to permeate, it drove away the darkness, and brought some warmth to the entire wide and majestic space.

Qin Ke may be the first to see the patterns carved on the entire floor, thanks to his strong eyesight in the dark, and with the light of those bronze lamps, he gradually figured out the patterns painted on the ground.

Feng Shui map of the stars.

When the master was still there, he heard the master talk about this feng shui secret technique.

The distance between heaven and earth is 24 miles, and the distance between human heart and kidney is eight inches and four parts. The human body is made of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. There are five stars in the sky, and [-] stars correspond to the geography of mountains and rivers in the world. The stars have good and evil, and the earth has good and bad. .

All auspicious soils must correspond to the sun, moon and stars in the sky, and the technique of Qingwu, which uses the circulation of nebulae to determine the acupoints, is the most difficult to master in Fengshui.
