To be precise, the voice of the night walker came from the sarcophagus in the center of the tomb. After he yelled this voice, all the night walkers gathered around and asked him what was wrong.

It turned out that this sarcophagus has two floors. The night walker on the upper floor searched and found nothing. He was unwilling to pry open the thick stone slab, but it was easily opened. He jumped in and touched it with his fingertips. Seeing a cold skin, the night walker took a photo with a torch, and it showed the appearance of a young man, and he cried out in surprise.

Bai Moqian's eyes froze when he heard the words, and he walked forward quickly.

Under the slate interlayer lay a man wearing a black gown trimmed with gold thread, his temples were cut like knives, his eyebrows were painted in ink, as if he had fallen asleep, the skin on his cheeks did not show any signs of decay, and seemed fresh. You can hear his heartbeat.

The night walker jumped out with his arms on the side of the sarcophagus, stood aside and couldn't stop marveling, "It's strange, this person looks like a ninety-five supreme person, could it be that two emperors are buried in this imperial tomb?"

Bai Moqian put his hand on the male corpse's forehead, tried it out, and frowned slightly. The corpse was empty, he could not feel any yin energy, and there was no rotten energy after death. All the breath of spiritual power was sucked out.

According to common sense, even if a person's soul enters the underworld after death, there will still be a certain amount of yin or spiritual power left in the body. It is because of the remnant that there is a saying of corpse change, but this corpse is too clean, so clean that it can't even maintain its appearance. There is no spiritual power to destroy.

Bai Moqian frowned, turned to look at Li Shao and asked, "Why?"

Li Shao turned his eyes away from the male corpse, raised his eyebrows, "This is a dummy, of course you can't detect his evil spirit."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Moqian suddenly understood. He pinched the cheek of the male corpse with his hand, and a piece of the smooth cheek was instantly torn off. He took out his hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger. It's a wax figure.

After tossing for a long time, Bai Moqian finally realized that the point of the question is not whether the male corpse has Yin Qi, but who this person is. He slapped his forehead and asked: "Senior brother, you have seen many people, how can this dummy Do you know who it is?"

"I know." Li Shao nodded, and he replied simply: "Emperor Tai/Zu Lishuo."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the tomb looked different.

The innkeeper frowned tightly. He pondered for a long time before he raised his eyes to look at Li Shao, opened and closed his lips, and said slowly after a long while: "Sir, I may have said something disrespectful to you, but it concerns my seventeen The safety of the brothers, so I said it directly, don’t blame Mr. Wang.”

When all the night walkers heard this, their faces became a little dark and unclear. They all followed the fifth master and regarded him as the head of the family. When they heard this, they all gathered beside the innkeeper and looked at Li Shao His eyes became a little colder.

Seeing this, Bai Moqian tightened his grip on the sword. He took a step forward, subconsciously protected Li Shao, and said, "We didn't know about the wax figure beforehand. Did Fifth Master plan to turn his back on him before he figured out what happened?"

The innkeeper sighed. He waved his hands to the night walkers, took a step forward, and bowed to them, "Forgive me, Mr. Bai. The wax figure was buried in a sarcophagus and placed in the ear chamber of the entrance. This is the tomb. The first warning given by the master is that this kind of tomb is not only dangerous, but also one’s life will be lost if one enters it. The brothers are all family members, so it’s just a matter of harming one’s morality, and dragging his wife and children in will not be worth the loss.”

Bai Moqian's eyes flickered, he was telling Li Shao to resign.

There cannot be two complete corpses in the tomb. Even for the martyrs, the head or other parts of the body are usually cut off. However, in this mausoleum of the emperor/ancestor, first there are ghost generals guarding the tomb, and then they use their own appearance to mold a tomb. The wax figure warns those who enter the tomb. Thinking about how dilapidated and shabby the imperial tomb is, all kinds of weird things happen one after another. Nightcrawlers have robbed countless tombs, but this is the first time they have seen such a thing. I suspect that Li Shaoyin and the others are really is normal.

"What? Fifth Lord, do you believe me?" Li Shao, who had been standing silent all the time, raised his eyebrows and asked with a sneer. He raised his eyes, his expression was very calm, but the innkeeper was trembling all over.

"The villain has no such intentions." The innkeeper shook his head.

"I'm not joking with you about guarding the bronze gate. This is my agreement with your Zhang family in Mobei." Li Shao's expression turned cold. He walked to the innkeeper and slowly looked at everyone in the tomb. A night walker said in a deep voice: "I'm a businessman, and I know that profit comes first. I won't let you keep this contract in vain. Since the fifth master has made it clear to me, I won't let it go. Qilin Yin, mortals will live forever for a hundred years after being served, and your Zhang family will guard the bronze gate for me, and I will let you become the uncrowned kings of the mortal world, how about this exchange?"

The innkeeper's face changed suddenly. Just now, he really wanted to take his brother away. The bronze door is so mysterious, who knows if Li Shao is playing with them. He has been hiding this idea very well. Unexpectedly, Li Shao would have Seeing through, the owner of the inn no longer dared to have any other intentions, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Li Shao, and said in a deep voice: "The Zhang family in Mobei respectfully obeys the orders of the master."

All the night walkers knew the current affairs, bowed down one after another, and echoed in low voices.

Li Shao glanced at them lightly, "Get up, I can't bear it."

The innkeeper nodded, stood up, and stood aside respectfully.

Bai Moqian sighed inaudibly, turned his eyes away from the night walkers, and looked down at the wax figure, "Let's move this wax figure away first."

Li Shao nodded, raised his hand and patted the ghost general who was following behind him, and ordered in a low voice.The ghost general stomped his feet, walked to the sarcophagus meekly, grabbed the stone slab with both arms, and pushed it aside effortlessly, with a "bang", a cloud of dust was thrown up, causing Bai Moqian to cough repeatedly. Li Shao took him into his arms and raised his sleeves to cover him.

Unlocking the cover, General Ghost grabbed the neck of the wax figure and lifted up the whole corpse. Unexpectedly, the force was too great, the head of the male corpse was pinched off by him, and Gu Lulu rolled back into the sarcophagus, followed by a series of dull crashing sounds The sound sounded, everyone looked at it, the wax figure moved away, and a step extending downward appeared impressively.

The innkeeper pulled out the scimitar from the back of his waist, put it in his mouth, lit a flame, waved to his brothers, and wanted to go down.

"Eh, it's strange." Bai Moqian seemed to have noticed something, he walked up to General Ghost, looked at the severed wax figure carefully, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Master Bai, is there something wrong?" The innkeeper turned around after hearing this.

"This wax figure seems to have been made by a craftsman in the dynasty." Bai Moqian stretched out his hand and squeezed out a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing from the cut. He shook it and said, "This kind of silk was not produced 300 years ago. I have seen it in the palace, this is a clothing material that has only appeared in the palace recently."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people changed again. If this wax figure was made in the dynasty, the situation would have to be reconsidered. At least this tomb is not as dangerous as they imagined. All the previous speculations can be temporarily hold back.

The innkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and said: "So, someone went down the imperial tomb before us?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the man standing beside the ghost general.

"I didn't put up this wax figure." The man shook his head, and he continued: "I did enter the imperial tomb, the sarcophagus was closed at that time, and General Gongsun was lying on the first floor of the sarcophagus, I didn't pay attention at that time The mezzanine under the stone slab, after awakening General Ghost, I wanted to rescue him, but I sensed the existence of Zhenling Xuanwu in the tomb, so I had no choice but to retreat."

After the man finished speaking, everyone in the tomb fell into silence. Bai Moqian pinched the silk in his hand, and after a long silence, he looked up at Li Shao, "Brother, we were all wrong. Put the wax figure of the tomb owner in the ear room , is not a warning, but a hint, implying that someone occupied the magpie's nest and buried himself in the tomb of the emperor/ancestor, but the emperor/ancestor was casually thrown aside."

Bai Moqian narrowed his eyes slightly, he threw the silk in his hand aside, clapped his hands and said, "Besides Yang Chong, there is one person who advanced to the tomb before us, the national teacher Shang Ye."

The innkeeper was only concerned about whether the tomb was dangerous. After hearing Bai Moqian's analysis and confirming that there was no serious omen in the tomb, he waved his hands gracefully and led the night walkers to jump into the sarcophagus one after another.

Li Shao patted General Ghost on the shoulder, and ordered him to throw away the wax figure before going down the tomb. Yang Chong was concerned about his safety, and after General Ghost went down, he followed behind. Bai Moqian and Li Shao walked last. .

"Senior brother, I have figured it out." Bai Moqian touched the wall beside him, looked back at Li Shao and said, "In the dynasty, those who have seen the emperor will get rid of you, and only Shang is left. Ye is alone, and he puts the wax figure at the entrance of the underground palace for the purpose of showing it to the people who go down to the underground palace. The only person who can go down to the imperial mausoleum and understand his meaning is the person who finds the soul of the emperor/ancestor in the palace. Those who go to the palace to find souls are the only ones who saw Zhenling Xuanwu on the ghost ship, and they will push forward one by one..."

When Bai Moqian said this, he stopped in his tracks. He raised his eyes to look at Li Shao, and the light from Huozhezi flickered on his cheeks. In the silent tomb, his voice sounded extremely low, "Senior brother , starting from the evil spirit in the bronze mirror in Concubine Mei's bedroom, the person who involved me in this series of events is Shang Ye. Am I right?"

Li Shao didn't answer, just looked at Bai Moqian quietly.

Bai Moqian reached out and grabbed Li Shao's wrist, he paused and said, "I remember that before Concubine Mei's bedchamber, you once said something to Shang Ye in a low voice - 'I know what you want to do, I didn't do those things. I don’t want to care about my interest, don’t pull my rabbit in, or don’t blame me for being inhumane’. Brother, in fact, you know all Shang Ye’s arrangements from the very beginning, right?”

"It's not so much that Shang Ye weaves this big net to get me involved, it's better to say that he arranged everything for you to see, because for some reason, you have been unwilling to take care of Shang Ye's pile of trash. That's why he tried every means, step by step through me, to shake things up in front of you like a burden."

Speaking of this, Bai Moqian let go of Li Shao's wrist, walked the rest of the steps, then stood still again, looked at Li Shao quietly and asked: "Then the question is, what exactly does Shang Ye want to show you? He asked What did you ask for?"
