Feast of Rebirth

It was late at night.As soon as Yun Congfeng picked up the book, he heard Hu Yan ask, "Why did you inquire about Qiao Da and Ge?"

Yun Congfeng originally wanted to tell the story from the beginning to the end, but when he thought it was unnecessary, he simply asked, "How much do you know about Qiao Dahege?"

"Ah? I don't know much about this..."

"Then do you know what happened to him?"

"It seems... dead?"

Yun Congfeng confirmed that there was no need for clichés, and said: "I had an argument with someone before... I think the ending is to hide from the world and live in seclusion. But others said that he fell into the emperor's scheme, and not only was his soul killed, but he was also suppressed. I don’t believe that there are people who have seen his soul in the imperial tomb. I happened to be here today, let’s inquire about it.”

"so what?"

"I want to go in and have a look, seeing is believing."

Hu Yan laughed: "I knew you would say that! Tell me, do you want to go in for a few days? Is it a mistake?"

"If you can find the entrance to the imperial tomb, it may only take a day. Go in and have a look and ask."

"Then do you know how to get in?"

"Uh...maybe the old man will lead the way?"

"Is it dangerous? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Yun Congfeng thought about it for a while: "No need, you just sleep."

Yun Congfeng had no idea whether he could go in or not.The old man doesn't look very reliable, but there is no other more reliable method right now.

As soon as it was daylight, Yun Congfeng got up to wash and dress.There was a lot of commotion, and Hu Yan, who was lying on the bed, stared in a daze: "What are you doing?"

"Yeah." Yun Congfeng replied while fastening his belt.

There was no more sound, and Hu Yan passed away.Yun Congfeng opened the door lightly, and went downstairs lightly. The waiter in the hotel got up earlier than him, and was sweeping the floor outside the door.

The old man from yesterday was still there, nestled under the eaves, still snoring, sleeping soundly.Yun Congfeng originally thought that he was just staying in a hotel and going out for a walk, but he didn't expect that he was really a homeless and moneyless tramp.

Without money, the problem is much easier to handle.

"Old man? Old man?"

The normal volume didn't respond, Yun Congfeng simply opened his throat: "Old man!"

"Ah! Ah!" The old man trembled, wiped his saliva subconsciously, and looked around in confusion.Yun Congfeng calmed down: "Old man, I would like to ask you to take me into the mountains to see the imperial tomb."

"Going into the mountains?" The old man looked around, his face full of displeasure, "What are you going into the mountains for?"

Yun Congfeng put on a smiling face: "Be a guide and give me money."

"How much?" The old man was moved.

"How much do you think?" Yun Congfeng smiled.

The old man thought for a long time, and cautiously stretched out a slap: "Five taels of silver, that's good. Here, take me there now."

It was done in one go, and the old man was completely confused.He held the money with a regretful expression on his face, but even though he was reluctant to regret it, he still carefully put away the money and smiled: "Okay! Boss, how long are you going? Where are you going to see?"

Yun Congfeng thought for a while: "Go in first, I'll take you, and you can point to the specific direction."

"Okay!" Before the old man was excited for a while, Yun Congfeng grabbed the flying sword by his sleeve, shook it for a while and rode the wind, and flew into the sky.

"Can you bear it? No, I'll fly lower." Yun Congfeng asked very humanely.

The old man thumped his waist, with a calm face: "What's the matter! It's okay, that's it, it's pretty good."

Yun Congfeng hummed and speeded up.

The old man had a good memory. After wandering in the forest for a while, he pointed out a spire—that spire was almost completely hidden by a tree, and it was easy to miss it without looking carefully.

When he got closer, he followed the tower to the ground. Yun Congfeng saw the structure of the tower clearly. It turned out to be a white tower, but now it was covered with vines and moss, and there were black marks of flames on the lower half of the tower. The small half of the tower collapsed , Broken stones scattered all over the place.

Yun Congfeng broke a thin bamboo pole and probed here and there: "Are you familiar with this tower?"

"I have a little impression. There are big stone carvings around this tower, civil servants and military officials, and so on. It should... go a little further there, which is the royal road leading to the sacrificial hall."

"how far?"

"But it should be..."

Yun Congfeng was exploring the way ahead, pawing at the dense grass under his feet. Indeed, as the old man said, this lush forest was buried with countless fragments of grass. From time to time, he pulled out a severed arm, a face, etc., which had been accumulated over the years. The rain of the month has washed away the original appearance

Until he pulled out half of the uneven stone slab from the grass, and looked carefully, it seemed to be embossed with clouds, water and dragon patterns. He picked it up with one hand and blew: "Look, is it paved on the imperial road?"

The old man bent down and lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and said firmly, "Yes!"

"That's good." Yun Congfeng threw down the stone slab, and quickly walked towards the direction the slate pointed.After walking about a few hundred steps, several broken stone pillars appeared in the deep grass, and further forward, there was a ruined wall, covered with morning glory and creeper.

This is the imperial tomb of the Yin Dynasty, desolate and desolate.Yun Congfeng looked around, but found no trace of the beast: "What kind of beast is there?"

"It's a lot. There's a lot of noise at noon." The old man sat down and scratched his itch.

Yun Congfeng continued to walk forward, obviously feeling the soil layer under his feet slowly rising.It seems that the foundation of the sacrificial hall is built quite high. If you look closely at the grass, you can vaguely see the soil with messy colors, which is the unique five-color soil of the altar of Sheji.

Looking up, the eyes are green.

Yun Congfeng kicked the stones next to his feet, pulled the grass, and pulled out a small open space. The mixed five-color soil showed an elusive beauty. Wandering spirits.

After the formation was completed, Yun Congfeng recited the formula silently in his heart, held his breath, and waited for a reaction, but after waiting for a long time, his wish was not fulfilled.The old forest was surprisingly clean.

Is there any other way?Yun Congfeng didn't have a clue, he walked forward, knocking here and there, the terrain went from high to low, his feet slipped, and he slid down from the grass with a cry of surprise, the overgrown grass leaves covered his face with dew.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Yun Congfeng wiped his face, struggled to get up, and was surprised to find a narrow, dark hole in the middle of the grass.

This hole...is suspicious no matter how you look at it...

Throwing a stone into it, listening to the echo, it seems to be paved with floor tiles, the sound is crisp, and the area is still large.

Yun Congfeng approached the entrance of the cave, and threw a fire talisman into it. The light from the fire talisman dispelled the darkness in the cave. There were indeed bricks on the ground, and there was a layer of ash that was not thick. Sniffing the smell carefully, it was not stale. , but there is a faint scent of agarwood and lotus.He threw another card in, and two torches illuminated a large area, and this time he saw human footprints.

"Old man!" Yun Congfeng stood up and shouted.

"Hey! Here we come, here we come."

"Is there anyone alive in the family of the tomb guards you mentioned?"

"Probably, but even if you escape, you may not know where the entrance to the mausoleum is." The old man said in confusion, "Maybe it was passed down by the patriarch before he was hanged?"

"Is there any mechanism in this tomb?"

"I don't know..."

One question and three questions.Looking at the dark hole, Yun Congfeng hesitated, should he go in?If Hu Yan was called here... Relying on his own strength, he might have knocked down the wall of the tomb when he encountered the mechanism, and the ceiling had been raised by him.

Or, wait.If someone from the tomb guard family really came to pay homage, it would be impossible for him to spend the night underground.

Yun Congfeng chose the latter.

"Wait." Yun Congfeng said, sitting down.

"Wait? Ah..." The old man touched his pocket, sat for a while, then stood up again, looking around, fidgeting.

"what happened to you?"

"I'd like to have a couple of puffs."

"There's no tobacco here."

"Yes, yes." The old man got excited, "Everything grows on the mountain, but not many people dare to come up."

"You said it so horribly, so far no beast has come."

"Hey, it must be because your lord is so powerful that those beasts dare not come out!" The old man flattered.Yun Congfeng stood up helplessly: "Be careful what you should be careful about. Where are you going to pick tobacco leaves? I'll go with you."

"That's better, thank you boss." The old man was happy, jumping up and down with a cane.

The tobacco that the old man wanted to pick was not far from the imperial mausoleum, and it was still a large piece of tobacco. Yun Congfeng looked left and right, and found that where the tobacco grew, there were still some traces of fields and canals, and the tobacco bushes grew as long as It's too pure, I didn't see a few weeds, could it be that someone is taking care of it?

The crooked figure of the old man sank into the tobacco, and the leaves rattled.

Yun Congfeng folded his hands, looked around, and suddenly realized that there were no insects or birds singing here.

Except for the sound of the old man picking tobacco leaves, there was a dead silence.

"Old man, what's the matter with you?"

"What's the matter, it's fine." The old man was flattered, he laughed straight away, and suddenly fell back with an ouch.Yun Congfeng saw Tobacco swaying from side to side: "Are you all right?!"

"Snakes! There are snakes!" The old man jumped up, hugged the tobacco leaves and ran wildly. Passing across, it is as thick as a thousand-year-old wood, and its length is unrecognizable at all!

The snake tail swept away the large piece of tobacco, curled up, and more clumps of leaves in the distance rustled, trembling and falling down one after another, drawing strange arcs.The old man ran out of the tobacco leaf field, Yun Congfeng took his hand, and flew up into the air, looking down, he couldn't help feeling cold: why is this snake so big? !

"Hiss———" the giant snake twisted and slowly turned its body around. The snake Xinzi swallowed and vomited, and turned his head in the direction of Yun Congfeng after a while.

The old man uttered a more terrifying and shrill howl than the women: "Boss, let's run!"

"There's something wrong with this snake." Yun Congfeng was really shocked at first, but he soon discovered something was wrong.

Half of this snake's body is hollow, it's the cast-off skin, it looks really long and scary at first glance.Furthermore, the snake's skull was swollen and distorted, its body was like a snake, but its eyes were not.

Does it want to transform into a dragon or a dragon?

The snake and the two confronted each other for a long time. After a long time, the giant snake coiled up and slowly lowered its head.

"Leaving?" The old man was shocked.

"Didn't leave." Yun Congfeng looked at it for a while, and the snake didn't want to leave.

Want to transform into a dragon?But if you want to use Chao Dynasty's Dragon Qi, Yin Dynasty is not suitable at all.Yin Dynasty has died.

He maneuvered, backing up in mid-air.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the giant snake opened its mouth violently, as if the sky had been swallowed up by it in an instant, and the snake letter came through the air, carrying a thunderous murderous aura.Yun Congfeng had expected it a long time ago, he clenched his right hand and clapped his palms, and drank the spell that he had stored up early: "One Qi Zhengyang Thunder! Come on!"
