————————————————————————————————————

Before leaving, the shopkeeper finally remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and left in a hurry after saying a few words very briefly.The shopkeeper's name is Bai Ze, he is a Jindan cultivator from Tongdao Peak, and he is currently entering the world.This "entering the world" is a completely different concept from Shen Ziliu's trial of entering the world, but all monks like them who consciously carry out cultivation activities have to go through a process of first entering the world and then leaving the world. Only after realizing the true meaning of being a human being can one transcend the world and ascend to a higher realm.

Since this task required the three teams to complete it together, after the shopkeeper left, the remaining monks discussed the time to leave for the imperial mausoleum tomorrow, and then each chose a room to enter the house to rest.This time, there were plenty of rooms in the accommodation, and no one needed to share a room with others, so they all had a good night's rest.As soon as the appointed time arrived the next morning, everyone went out in twos and threes after gathering in the garden.In order not to make other guests in the restaurant suspicious, the few people who went out each time were separated from the previous few people. After everyone went out, the restaurant began to slowly become lively.

The distance between the Imperial Mausoleum and Chang'an City is close or not. It would take time to walk the whole way. Fortunately, after finding Bai Ze, the ban on not being able to resist the wind was lifted. After walking out of Chang'an City, all the monks searched for it. They left the hiding place to ride the wind, and after half an hour, they all arrived near the imperial mausoleum.

The scale of this imperial mausoleum is not too large. From the ground, there is only one entrance, and there are six guards at the entrance. In addition, there are only two patrol teams of four each, alternately surrounding the imperial tomb every half an hour. Looking around the ground buildings of the mausoleum, the guards don't seem to be strict.

To be cautious, they did not directly enter the imperial mausoleum on the first day, but explored nearby, but found nothing useful, and no one felt the change that Bai Ze said.After returning, everyone went to investigate and study separately, and had a general understanding of the imperial tomb. They came to the vicinity of the imperial tomb at the same time the next day, and this time they wanted to get serious.

These twenty or so are all monks who have entered the alchemy stage but have not yet formed an alchemy. Except for Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan, who are in special circumstances, the others have systematically learned basic spells. It is not difficult for them to hide their bodies, and Qing Yin also taught them the techniques he knew without reservation during the trial of the water moon illusion, so it is very difficult for the two of them. No problem either.

In order to facilitate actions, some monks from another group lit a kind of incense that can relax people's spirits at the upper wind of the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. Soon the guards at the gate relaxed under the influence of this incense. Later, they all hid their bodies and entered the imperial mausoleum silently.

Walking down the stone ladder for a while, after entering the underground where the sky is completely dark, the first thick stone gate appeared soon, and this gate will be regarded as the real part of the mausoleum.There are three long-burning lamps on each side of the stone gate. These lamps are not really able to keep themselves on forever, but the mausoleum guards will come in every once in a while to add oil to keep them forever bright.Most of the lamp oil in these lamps has been burned, and there may be a mausoleum guardian to add lamp oil at any time, and everyone did not dare to delay any longer. The voice came out.

This stone gate is not sealed, it can be opened with a mechanism, but the mechanism weighs Yu Qianjun, and it is impossible for ordinary people to open it, and this weight is completely nothing to the monks gathered here problem.The three monks worked together to open the stone gate with magic, and everyone filed in. After everyone entered the tomb passage behind the stone gate and lowered the stone gate again, everyone immediately released the invisibility technique. After all, this technique is very expensive. Spiritual power, especially for monks like them who haven't formed alchemy yet.

After entering the tomb passage, the monks immediately noticed that the mausoleum was indeed filled with a strange aura. It didn't look like pure evil, but it seemed that there was a trace of vitality mixed with the evil aura.As far as they know, the stone gate of this imperial mausoleum was lowered after the burial of the first emperor more than 30 years ago, and it has never been opened again.Even if cats and dogs ran into the tomb when the first emperor was buried, it is impossible to survive for such a long time in the tomb without food. It is reasonable to say that there should be no living things in it.

But soon, they knew where this weird aura came from.When a millipede that was more than one foot long, with the waist of an adult man as thick as it was, appeared in front of the crowd, gnawing on the human remains with only the lower body left, several monks only took one look, and then leaned on the wall of the tomb and retched. .This millipede was originally supposed to be just an ordinary millipede. For some reason, after being possessed by an evil spirit, the two slowly merged, but they did not completely merge into one. Therefore, although this millipede broke through the normal millipede Part of the body shape and lifespan|The body is demonized, but it is not completely reduced to a monster, so it still has the breath of a living thing.

When they found the millipede, it was munching in a burial chamber surrounded by piles of human and animal bones. There was an unpleasant smell in the entire tomb. It was obvious that it had regarded this place as its own. nest.And under normal circumstances, millipedes are scavenger, but now it seems that this millipede is no longer satisfied with scavenging, and has started to attack living things.

After adapting to the disgusting scene in front of them, a group of monks quickly started fighting the millipede.Although the worm has been demonized, its intelligence has not changed. At first it thought it was a bunch of delicious food delivered to the door. After suffering a few times, it finally found that these people were not at the same level as the people it attacked before. So he seized the opportunity and fled out immediately.The people chased all the way, and found a passage leading to the outside of the tomb in the depths of the mausoleum. It seems that this monster usually enters and exits the imperial mausoleum from here.

In fact, everyone also deliberately let the millipedes out. After all, they were tied up in the imperial tomb, and it would be much easier to wait outside.When they came out of the corridor, they were in a dense forest some distance away from the imperial mausoleum. A bright blue trace stretched from the exit of the corridor to the depths of the forest. Obviously, when the millipede fled just now, someone was quick to touch it. With tracking.

Everyone chased after the traces on the ground against the wind, and soon caught up with the target.After being caught up, the evil spirit attached to the millipede reacted very quickly and forcibly detached from the millipede, planning to escape alone.Although the forcible stripping of the millipede would cause some damage to the evil itself because it had been fused with the millipede for too long, it was better than being caught.It's a pity that it was covered with a demon-locking bag just after it was stripped from the insect body before it could escape.

This evil creature is also powerful, after being put into the demon-locking pouch, it went on a rampage for a while, and almost broke through the demon-locking pouch to escape.Shen Ziliu immediately pulled out Tunxiang, snatched the demon-locking pouch from the unknown monk, and stabbed it with his sword without hesitation. A black mist spewed out from where the sword tip pierced, and the man nailed to the ground The demon lock sac trembled violently, and a shrill scream resounded through the forest.

After a while, the black mist gradually dissipated, and the movement in the demon lock bag also stopped.On the other side, although the millipede that had lost its evil spirit had made a desperate struggle, it was completely no match for these monks, and was soon completely suppressed.Unexpectedly, it suddenly swelled up before it died, and doubled in size in the blink of an eye, and then exploded suddenly when everyone was caught off guard. Suddenly, the ground was covered with black and wriggling millipedes, which was very eye-catching. Scalp tingling.

Several female cultivators present and some male cultivators who were disgusted with insects couldn't help screaming, retreating in a hurry or jumping on the nearby tree, what's more, they fainted from fright, and the scene suddenly Very confusing.

"Don't let these bugs get away!"

In the confusion, Zi Lan yelled, he was supporting Wu Siren who was fainted beside him and couldn't move his hand, so he had to remind others.

Someone heard his shout and reacted, and began to cast spells to eliminate the insects around them, but the millipedes scattered into tens of thousands had already quickly crawled in all directions. Know where to go.

At this time, Shen Ziliu pulled up the Tunxiang nailed to the demon-locking pouch, jumped into the center of the insect circle, and suddenly inserted half of Tunxiang's sword into the soil.

"Get out of the way!"

After Shen Ziliu yelled these three words, everyone suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, and a red lava spread around Tunxiang as the center.

After everyone reacted, they hurriedly evacuated. There were all kinds of exclamations and cursing. Thousands of millipedes were roasted by the hot lava, making goosebumps and crackling sounds. The woods suddenly filled with an indescribable scorching sound. Stinky, this makes the scene even more chaotic.

After confirming that there were no more living millipedes on the ground, Shen Ziliu pulled out Tunxiang and stood up slowly. After a wave of dizziness, he jumped on his toes out of the range of the lava.

Seeing that Shen Ziliu's head was covered with sweat, Qing Yin quickly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Brother Shen, how are you doing? You were so messed up just now!"

Shen Ziliu closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, then pulled out the arm supported by Qing Yin, his right hand trembled slightly and put Tunxiang into the sheath, nodded and said: "I'm fine."

In Shen Ziliu's state, it can be seen that his spiritual power has been overused. Qing Yin looked at him worriedly, and was about to speak to persuade him not to be brave, but Shen Ziliu frowned and said: "This is not suitable for resting, let's change to another place first."

Zi Lan supported Wu Siren, and said: "Just now there is a river on the way we chased here from the imperial mausoleum, why don't we go there to rest and take a little rest."

The others were being tormented by the scorched bugs and the pungent smell, many of them were stained with the liquid splashed out when the bugs exploded. Hearing what Zi Lan said, they all agreed, and couldn't wait to stand up and walk towards the small river. Gone with the wind.
