Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

"Then let him lead the way. Let me have a good meal before I die sooner or later." Gu Yue put her hands on her hips. He was hungry and sleepy now, and just wanted to have a good rest.

Gui Dongxi took them on the road, because Qin Juan knew that Gui Dongxi ran fast, so he didn't let him loose.

"Why does he have such fast speed without internal strength?" Qin Juan looked at Taohua.

Taohua turned to ask the ghost again, and the ghost said that they can prevent others from feeling his breath and presence, but they can follow the people he is eyeing very fast.

This primeval forest has become a terrifying existence in the past hundred years, but all the foreign races who enter here do not know the existence of Jiao Yu people.

With this ability, they can keep up with outsiders without anyone noticing, and execute those people to death.

"They have no grievances with you, maybe they just want to pass by here!" Peach Blossom's breath became a little hasty, showing that she was slightly angry.

The tomb guards said that the first king who entered here gave an order before his death that outsiders should not be allowed to enter here, otherwise they would face the disaster of family extinction.

So, no matter what the cost, they will pursue these invaders, of course there will always be escaped, they just have to do their best.

Later, there were many organ formations and countless traps here, all for outsiders in the region.

In order to prevent outsiders from finding traces of human activities here, they will release tame beasts to bite those "prey"...

These are also the bones that Qin Juan and the others occasionally saw along the way...

It's just that the tomb guard didn't expect that he had guarded it for ten years, and his master had guarded it for 50 years. He had never heard of anyone coming out from the other side of the king's tomb.

When he learned that someone had come in, the tomb guard panicked, because no one can kill in the mausoleum.

So, he wanted to scare these people away, but these people were disobedient, and they wanted to get out of the mausoleum again and again.

And they also found the correct path out of the stone forest.

So he became murderous. The king said that he can't kill people, so he scratched the wrists of these people and let them die slowly, so it is okay to create the illusion that they are starved to death and trapped here... The mind of the grave guard is very simple. Thought it wasn't murder.

"This is murder! If you hadn't cut him the wrong way, he would have died!" Tao Hua growled.

Qin Juan didn't understand. He raised his eyes to look at Gu Yue beside him. Gu Yue had already stopped and looked at Tao Hua in shock.

The gravekeeper lowered his head and stopped talking.He seemed to be thinking that he was just a tomb guard, and he had never thought of killing people like slave soldiers in his clan...

He's just a gravekeeper, and he doesn't want to kill people, but they shouldn't be here.

The grave guard led them the way silently, and did not speak again.

"The lights are about to go out," Taohua said.

"Don't light the lamp, just get out of here." The grave guard said, "I have something in my pocket to light up, help take it out."

Taohua was about to probe into the pocket of the tomb guard, when a big hand reached into the pocket, untied the tie rope on it, and a luminous bead appeared in his eyes.

Qin Juan and Xiao Qu'er are equally mysterious, curious and probing.

"Ye Mingzhu." Gu Yue said, although surprised, she was also calm.

This thing was once said to be priceless.

"In front is an iron chain bridge. Those who cannot cross the iron chain bridge, that is, those whose king's soul does not allow them to pass, will fall into the river, and I will not be able to save you." The gravekeeper said.

Gu Yue lifted Ye Mingzhu up and saw clearly the bridge made of four iron chains and planks in front.

Larger mausoleums are mostly filled with mountains, rivers and lakes, indicating that the owner of the tomb had a noble status during his lifetime and owned the sun, moon, mountains and seas.

It's just that the river under this bridge...

Looking down the bridge, what I saw was one after another withered bones...

No wonder you feel eerie when you enter this tunnel. The people in this river are not buried slaves, right?

Almost at the same time, they all thought of the three words funerary objects.

"Hurry up, the mausoleum will be closed after midnight, and not only you, but I will also be trapped here to death." The gravekeeper looked at Taohua and urged in a low voice.

His voice has always been very soft, as if carrying the pious and docile temperament unique to the gravekeeper.

Tao Hua took a deep breath and looked at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue grabbed the tomb guard tightly, Qin Juan supported Tao Hua with one hand, and Xiao Qu'er with the other: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Although he felt that the iron chain was unreliable, he even wondered if the grave guard had harmed them.

When Gu Yue stepped on the iron chain, his nine-foot man was a little panicked, because the iron chain was not stable, and his body shook when he stood on it.

Gu Yue whispered: "Be careful!"

Xiao Qu'er was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to call out, his body was shaking, and he instinctively hugged Qin Juan tightly.

Qin Juan: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Qu'er looks at the plank, takes every step, and imagines that it is a gravel path in the garden..."

Even they were momentarily distracted by the gravel path in the garden.

Suddenly, Taohua's calf began to hurt like a twitch, and Qin Juan stopped as well.

"fine."

Qin Juan was worried about Taohua's leg pain, so he held him tighter. He looked at the other side, and there was still more than a hundred meters away...

Why is this river dug so wide?

After walking more than 50 meters in fear, there was only a small half left. At this time, there was only a bang, and Taohua's body fell out...

"Peach Blossom!" Qin Juan was so tested at this moment, he wanted to take care of Xiao Qu'er, and spared no effort to hold on to Peach Blossom!

Due to the deviation of the center of gravity, the iron chain was shaking, and Gu Yue and the tomb guard grasped the iron chain tightly to stabilize it.

Gu Yue wanted to help Qin Juan, but he tried to stand up, the whole chain was shaking, and even Qin Juan was sliding down.

Gu Yue didn't dare to move.

"Taohua, I'll drag you up, don't let go." Qin Juan gritted his teeth and said.

"What's the matter, why can't I pull it up..." When Qin Juan was sweating profusely, he also became suspicious. With his internal strength, trying to pull the peach blossom up is not easy, nor should it be difficult.

Taohua's face was pale, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Okay... it seems that something is entangled with my feet..."

When Tao Hua said this, Qin Juan's hot sweat turned into cold sweat.

At this time, the tomb guard said: "I said before, some people the king wants to keep, and the king doesn't want him to go. As long as you let him go, we can live together..."

"You can stop now." Gu Yue interrupted him, and shouted to Qin Juan, "The ghost said that their king wants to keep someone, ask Taohua if he can find a way to kick off the thing that is pulling him... "

Qin Juan didn't believe in such evil things, he said gently to Xiao Qu'er: "I will find a way to save Taohua, Xiao Qu'er has to hold on to the chain by herself, don't let go."

"Yeah." Xiao Qu'er nodded tearfully

Qin Juan slowly let go of Xiao Qu'er's hand, and stroked his little head as if to comfort him.

It was also at the moment when Xiao Qu'er was sure that Xiao Qu'er had stood up, Qin Juan pulled out the knife from his waist.

"Taohua, hold on." Qin Juan could see that Taohua's complexion was not good, and her body should be extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Juan lifted Taohua vigorously until Taohua's hand could just reach the iron chain.

"Peach Blossom, hold tight, I will cut off the things that are entangled with you!" Qin Juan said as he wrapped his legs around the iron chain and jumped down.

"Qin Juan!" (Gu Yue)

"Brother, woo woo woo..." At that moment, no matter how scared she was before, she didn't cry, but at this moment, Xiao Qu'er began to cry softly

Even though Taohua was very uncomfortable, she understood what Qin Juan had done. He never thought that someone...

Maybe this young man is sincere, kind and brave, but he knows that in the future, he will not only be grateful to this young man, but also trust him completely.

At the moment when he jumped down, Qin Juan was thinking, if it is really a ghost that is entwining Peach Blossom...

Then, a person like him who has no destiny, who doesn't want to be bothered by the gods, is afraid of ghosts!

He saw something under Taohua's feet, but it was too dark.

Fortunately, Gu Yue crawled over at this time and raised the Ye Mingzhu in her hand

The flash of light allowed Qin Juan to see clearly the ghostly thing wrapped around the peach blossom...

Qin Juan's face turned pale for a moment, and his whole body became cold for a while. If he hadn't had enough concentration, if he was still calm, he might have fallen off.He raised the knife vigorously, and cut off the hair wrapped around the peach blossom's feet...

White bones, hair that cannot rot when soaked in water...

The forest is cold, gloomy and cold, which makes the scalp numb.

Finally, Taohua exhausted all her strength and pulled her foot out when Qin Juan cut off those hairs

The gravekeeper said that Taohua was the only one who could climb up from the river after falling into the river.

Of course, the tomb guard's eyes fell on Qin Juan.

Years of experience told him that this boy is something special.

The moment they paused on the shore, looking back at the iron chain, Qin Juan knew that they would not walk a second time with such an iron chain.

I don't want to walk this chain bridge again in my life.

Passing through another tunnel, they saw the sky, and outside the mausoleum was the ground and the gate.

"I can only come back once a year. The slave soldiers guarding the mausoleum when I come back this time will definitely want to ask me for questions. I will tell them in a while, you all don't talk." The tomb guard said, raising his hands to Gu Yue , meaning let him untie the rope.

Gu Yue untied the rope for him.

The tomb guard went to find the guards, while Qin Juan and Gu Yue were thinking about how they could escape if the tomb guard repented.

The tomb guards went back and forth and said to them, "Follow me to see the clan elders."

Qin Juan and the others let out a long breath, packed their bags, and followed the tomb guards.

In the early hours of the morning, they came to a place where many people from Jiao Yu looked at them, vigilant, probing, and puzzled.

The tomb guards and those Jiao Yu people said something they didn't understand, it seemed to be comforting, and it seemed to be explaining.

After walking through here, they entered a palace-like place built against the hills.
