The tomb of King Ling is also very important, so Yu Yiqin decided to go back to the shop.

The Anti-Alien Office needs to wait for the results of the investigation, so Du Hanzhang naturally went with him, and went back to the interrogation room to say hello to Huang Xing.

In the room, Huang Xing was talking to Lu Tao and was on the phone. As soon as Du Hanzhang heard the content, he knew that the person on the phone was from the Wuchang Branch, because Huang Xing was asking Yu Yaoyao for any clues.

When he saw this, he didn't look for Huang Xing, he only explained his whereabouts to Chi Yan, and asked her to call if necessary.

Chi Yan had no doubts, and was about to nod when he heard the words, but Huang Chen was preoccupied with two things. When he heard that they were leaving, he quickly covered the phone and said "I'm sorry", and cut out the conversation: "Wait a minute, you two first Don't go, I have something to ask Yu Yiqin for help."

Du Hanzhang didn't know what he was thinking, so he said in a low voice, "Then hurry up, there are people waiting in his store."

Huang Xing made an ok gesture, and apologetically hung up the phone at hand.

While he was speaking, Lu Tao, who was listening, was very interested in everything about the Yaogui clan because he had just opened the door to the new world, so he asked Du Hanzhang, "Boss, is the Director Duan you just mentioned the boss of the Yaogui clan?"

Du Hanzhang nodded, and Lu Tao couldn't sit still anymore. He wanted to see what the director of the Monster Union looked like. Du Hanzhang felt that Duan Junxiu was nothing more than a human being, so he could go as long as he wanted.

Lu Tao was smiling, and was about to flatter him, but Huang Xing hung up the phone and interrupted him, asking Du Hanzhang, "Where are the others?"

"Outside." Du Hanzhang was a little curious, "What do you want him to do for you?"

Huang Chen walked out while talking: "I heard Deputy Director He say that his halberd is a halberd, right? It can tear anything, so the station master asked me to ask him for help, see if I can hide that halberd in the cocoon Han Huaping got it out."

When it comes to Yu Yiqin's affairs, Du Hanzhang is always eccentric. He said sternly: "He is not a person of the anti-transformation office. If you ask him for help, if there is any accident, whose fault is it?"

Huang Xing wiped his face, and said, "It's the station master."

Du Hanzhang smiled, and immediately went out, and saw Yu Yiqin was still standing where he was standing before, looking at Gu Chunxiao.

Gu Chunxiao was talking with her back against the fence, and she was still chewing something, but when she looked up and saw him coming out, she immediately closed her mouth, eating silently—she was dissing Du Hanzhang's incredible recovery ability, which made him Not good to hear.

Regardless of good or bad, Huang Xing made a request straight to the point.

For Yu Yiqin, this was just a matter of little effort, he readily agreed, and a group of people followed Huang Chen to the prison room where the prisoners were temporarily held.

The human cocoon is in the second room on the left after entering the door. There is a human-shaped white cocoon lying flat on the bed in the cell, with a strange style of painting across the iron fence.

The guard's colleague opened the door, and Huang Xing was the first to walk in, stopped in front of the bed and knocked on it with his hands, and said, "Han Huaping, I will give you two options now, one is to open your mouth and cooperate with the investigation, and the other is to act like We forcibly "invite" you out. I'll give you 5 minutes. If you don't make a sound when the time is up, I will assume that you chose the second type. It is now 8:17, and I will Remind you again, think about it."

The human cocoon didn't respond, time passed by, and no one spoke, and the room was as quiet as if no one had been there.

When the time jumped from 20 minutes to 21 minutes, the big cocoon on the bed suddenly shook, and then a cough came from inside.

Huang Xing was overjoyed, but he didn't respond. Half a minute later, Ren Yu lost his strength in the patience test, called "Police Officer" hoarsely, and started talking. He said he could cooperate, but he couldn't get out.

An old male voice echoed in the prison cell, and Han Huaping, who was hidden in the cocoon, said: "At that time, the condition I exchanged with the master was to let him give me a small nest that would never have to move."

A place where you don't need to communicate with others, don't need to pay nursing fees, and don't need very good living conditions, but you won't die.

Huang Xing was a little speechless. He didn't know if he was in a cocoon, so he sighed and said, "Brother Yu, come here and show him if you can save him."

Yu Yiqin exchanged positions with him, first leaned over and touched the group of spider silk that had lost its stickiness, then let everyone back out, opened his left hand by his side, held it with fingers, and the halberd was centered on the pole. The shaft grew out of the air like something out of nothing.

He held the tip of the halberd against the cocoon, and moved his arm for a while. The rubbing movement at the contact point was like metal scraping. The spider web was not broken, but a few wisps of thin black air overflowed.

Du Hanzhang thought it was no wonder he was so tenacious, it turned out to be possessed by the magic of the demon clan.

Yu Yiqin was closer, so he could see more clearly. The cell was small, so he took a few steps back, poured spiritual energy into the shaft of the halberd and then directed it to the head of the halberd, then swung it up violently and then slapped it down. The movement scared Huang Xing so much. With a single jump, he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would cut the prisoner in half with cocoons.

Gray flames exploded on the tip of the gun, and the wind roared on the rapidly falling halberd, within a blink of an eye it was within an inch of the cocoon.

The cell was filled with danger at once, but at this moment, Han Huaping suddenly let out a short scream, and the next moment, diffuse black air escaped from the part of the cocoon furthest from the halberd, and scattered in the air.

After the restriction of the demon clan was lifted, the spider web became a trick of ordinary little demons. Yu Yiqin pierced it with his halberd, and the human cocoon was like a deflated balloon. The spider web collapsed, revealing a sheet full of wrinkled face.

It belongs to Han Huaping, a descendant of a tomb keeper in a distant era, and also an old man without a home in modern society.

Huang Xing and Du Hanzhang quickly came up and brought the old man out of his cocoon.

After staying in the cocoon for so many days, Han Huaping didn't eat, drink, stretch, or scatter, but his energy was not bad, and he wasn't even afraid of light.

Lu Tao poked around curiously and saw that the spider web was clean and tidy. His brain, which had been influenced by natural science, couldn't figure out how this phenomenon that violated normal physiological activities was realized.

After leaving the confinement room, Han Huaping was sent to the interrogation room half-supported and half-supported. Yu Yiqin and Du Hanzhang separated from Lu Xing at the stairs, went downstairs to pick up the car, and soon brought Gu Chunxiao and Lu Tao into the interrogation room. Morning traffic in the city.

-

Goodbye Duan Junxiu, he is still wearing those sunglasses, standing alone under the camphor tree facing Yu Yiqin's store, his height stands out from the crowd in the street.

"Our director, that is," Gu Chunxiao pointed to Lu Tao, "Is he handsome?"

"Handsome." Lu Tao never hesitated to exaggerate, and commented while looking at him, "Your director is very trendy, and you still have to wear sunglasses when you come to this old-fashioned alley."

Gu Chunxiao originally wanted to lick the dog to defend, but after thinking about it, he said: "He also wore sunglasses last night, Du Hanzhang, you and Yang Wu are not very familiar, do you know what our director's hobby is?" ?”

Yang Wu usually had milk powder or diapers in his mouth, and there was almost no other information. Du Hanzhang said, "I don't know."

Gu Chunxiao pursed his lips and pushed Lu Tao to get off the car first.

A group of people got out of the car, Duan Junxiu immediately spotted them, and waved to them across the road, and then the two parties quickly sat down at Yu Yiqin's house, because the shop was too small to accommodate so many people.

Of course, his home is not big, and the light is still dark. It is more like a place for conspiracy than talking about things.

Fortunately, Duan Junxiu was not picky, and said straight to the point: "Are you free? If so, can you come with me to the Seventh Peak."

Yu Yiqin originally had this tendency, but he didn't immediately agree when he heard the words, but asked: "Why do you have to ask me to go? You are a descendant of the tomb builder, can't you open that tomb?"

"I can't open it." Duan Junxiu was a little helpless, "The tomb is not like a secret room, and there is a door for easy entry and exit. Back then, the purpose of my adoptive father building this tomb was to hope that the Ling Emperor could sleep forever."

"It may be presumptuous of me to say that," Du Hanzhang interjected, "but you took the lead in opening the tomb, didn't you violate Emperor Wen's original intention?"

Duan Junxiu's eyes were covered, but his expression was very open: "Maybe, but times have changed, he wants to give his friend a clean, but I also have my position, Baiwu Mountain is the settlement of our monster race, but every day I can't tolerate this kind of situation where some conspirators come and go. Another reason is that there is something I want in the tomb."

Yu Yiqin didn't expect him to be so direct, and was a little surprised: "What?"

"Take a step to talk." Before Duan Junxiu finished his sentence, countless tree roots suddenly snaked out from under his leather shoes, interweaving as fast as feather arrows, creating a closed area like a strange-shaped bird's nest in the room in the blink of an eye.

Gu Chunxiao was startled by this sudden situation, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Lu Tao and himself were the only ones left in the room except for the "bird's nest".

She said "Hello", but there was no response from the root of the tree. The feeling was that the director of the Monster Union organized a small group and blocked her and Lu Tao.Gu Chunxiao was very depressed, he kicked those tree roots, his heart was full of question marks, why?

At the same time, inside the tree root, although it is a closed space, the light and air are as usual.

Yu Yiqin and Du Hanzhang also had similar confusion. They looked at each other, and by default Du Hanzhang was in charge of the endorsement. He said, "Is it convenient for Director Duan to say something publicly?"

"It's inconvenient." Duan Junxiu said as he took off his sunglasses, "You two are my father's old acquaintances and the victims back then, I can trust you, but your friends can't, so I'm sorry, we have to privately Let's talk a few words."

As soon as the sunglasses touched his hand, they suddenly turned into two yellow ginkgo leaves, and then Yu Yiqin and Du Hanzhang saw a tumor-like skin on his right cheekbone.

It protruded from Duan Junxiu's face, dark red in color and twisted in texture, not only for looking at it, but in fact it was exactly the same as the original tree tumor, which somewhat damaged his appearance.

If Gu Chunxiao saw this, he would definitely sigh, but there were two men sitting opposite, Yu Yiqin asked strangely: "What's wrong with your face?"

The pinnacle of the majestic demon world, if you think about it with your feet, you won't even be able to transform into a complete human form. This skin must be very particular.

Sure enough, Duan Junxiu said: "This is a scar left by me when I transformed, and it is related to the thing I wanted in the tomb."

Du Hanzhang answered: "What do you want?"

"A stone." Duan Junxiu made a gesture, and opened a gap of thirty or forty centimeters between his hands, "It's about as wide as it is, and it's an old object buried under the root of my body."

It is difficult to understand words without thinking, Yu Yiqin asked: "What is it useful for you, yes, can it heal the scar on your face?"

"I don't care so much about whether I have scars on my face." Duan Junxiu smiled for a while, and then became serious again, "I just finished talking with Station Master Sha this morning, and he told you about your situation."

Duan Junxiu looked at Du Hanzhang: "He said that you once got a keel with strange symbols on it, which may be the reason why you have the ability to resist demonization. When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that I might have been in contact with the same thing, so I came into contact with it." Be the director of the Demon Federation."

In fact, he is quite lazy, he doesn't like to practice, and he doesn't practice much. Duan Junxiu used to think that his strength was innate, but when Shaan called him in the morning, he suddenly remembered something.

Du Hanzhang reacted quickly, and immediately asked, "Why do you say that? It's... Is there a similar symbol on the old object you're looking for?"

Duan Junxiu: "Yes."

Yu Yiqin: "What is it like? Do you remember?"

"I don't really remember," Duan Junxiu said, "If I hadn't seen the copy that Station Master Sha gave me, I might not have noticed it until now, so I ignored it even more at the beginning. I only have a vague impression, it seems to be so."

Speaking of others not moving, a branch extended from the inner wall of the "Bird's Nest", bent and twisted itself in the air, and "drawn" several patterns that are very symbolic but not like words.

"However, my memory may be poor," Duan Junxiu said, "Just take a look."

Du Hanzhang looked at them for a few seconds, and felt that their patterns were indeed somewhat similar to those on the keel: "Why is your stone in the tomb?"

"That's a bit of a long story." Duan Junxiu mentioned his past.

1000 years ago, he was still an ordinary ginkgo tree growing on the side of the hillside. He had a vague sense of spirituality, but he didn't understand it. He could only slightly perceive the weather and the four seasons, but he had no thoughts or self-awareness.

This situation continued until the second year after Gaiyuan, when the torrential rain continued for half a month in the mountains, and the mountain torrents washed down violently, uprooting his body, and the rocks under the tree roots were also exposed. rushed to the vicinity of the village.

"At that time, He Lanke had just passed away for three months, and my adoptive father was still searching for that follower, and the posters with the picture of the tripod were posted all over the pass. Everyone in the market knew about it. The new emperor was offering a huge reward. People with similar characteristics."

"Driven by profit, many speculators appeared among the people. Some of them forged copper tripods, and some of them were far-fetched. The stone probably belonged to the latter. It was cut off from my tree root and sent to the local state capital. .”

That's how he got the scar on his face.

Duan Junxiu continued: "On the night it was taken away, I had a human form, but I didn't understand anything at the time. I went to Jiwu City with an inexplicable intuition, and met my adoptive father Duan Ying."

"At that time, the stone and other things collected were piled up in the Jishan Pavilion in Jiwu City. I went to the imperial city to be a thief. Seeing that I was young and it didn't seem like I was pretending to be stupid, my adoptive father took it away. I stayed with you."

"Later, he ended up with no results due to the investigation, and sealed everything into the tomb of the Lingwang. I'm not actually a mausoleum guard, but after my adoptive father passed away, I haven't left Seventh Peak much, and have been living near the mausoleum."

"Now I look back and think that the 'intuition' I'm chasing may come from the symbols on that stone. They are mysterious and seem to have some kind of power."

They can conceive a big monster and keep a human race alive for thousands of years. What role can they play in the hands of the behind-the-scenes?Besides the three found so far, are there any other symbols in the world?

Faced with these questions, the three of them could only shake their heads, and the only gap in the current investigation is very obvious, only the half-opened Lingwang Tomb.

Without further ado, Yu Yiqin decided to go immediately. Duan Junxiu was delighted to see the result, so he didn't even withdraw the spell, and directly changed the space, transferring the three of them from the city to the edge of the grave.

Gu Chunxiao and Lu Tao outside the tree roots didn't know about it, and they were still blowing their noses and staring and complaining outside.

-

On the top of the mountain lake, as soon as Yu Yiqin landed, he saw Yang Wu and his fellow cat demons waiting here with a group of little demons.

The voices of greetings came and went one after another, Duan Junxiu nodded gently, but in the eyes of others, she was a little cold.

Quickly revisiting the old place, Yu Yiqin and Du Hanzhang looked around, and found that the lake was no longer what it was when they left. Water seeped out from the soil layer along the edge of the pit, and a layer of ankle-deep accumulation formed on the soil where Yu Yiqin had been lying before. of water.

The mud platform is still standing in the middle of the lake, and the Jiugong Bagua is still spread around it, but because of the loss of the fluorescence endowed by the aura, it shows a sign of being dusty.

It seems that there have been new visitors here, because there are some traces of living creatures and some dark debris on the ground.

Du Hanzhang pointed to them and asked, "Director Duan, what are these?"

"At 4:3 in the morning, three mountain ghosts came. They probably wanted to open the door of the tomb. I was nearby. I planned to catch them and ask them, but all three blew themselves up." Duan Junxiu smiled helplessly. Said, "I think my reaction is not slow, but I didn't stop it."

Yu Yiqin guessed, "They should have been tampered with, just like the dead soldiers raised before."

"However, this movement can also explain," Du Hanzhang said with a smile, "There must be something that the conspirator wants in this tomb."

The other two had no doubts, and Yu Yiqin jumped into the pit first. He was used to the modern life, and he didn't need to use his spiritual power when he could. He stepped into the water with a "plop" and slid towards the mud platform like planting rice seedlings. .

Du Hanzhang is a follower of the character, and he drank water with him.So there were three people in the group, only Duan Junxiu drifted on the water.

When he arrived at the place, Yu Yiqin called out the long halberd, inserted it into the hole left before, and then followed Duan Junxiu's prompt, rotated and pulled it up, followed by the movement of buckle from below, and soon the three people's feet rumbled, and all of them Feel yourself panning slightly.

At the same time, a deepening and widening crack gradually appeared underwater, and the water fell, disturbing the vortex on the water surface.

The three saw that the gap was getting wider and wider, and it turned out to be two huge bronze doors placed horizontally, and a corner of the cornice was exposed further below.

After Duan Junxiu explained to Yang Wu the matter of letting him stick to the top, he jumped down first and landed in a quaint courtyard.

When he fell, the original verdant vegetation in the courtyard seemed to be drained of vitality in an instant, quickly turned from green to yellow and then to gray, and fell to the ground and turned into powder.

Yu Yiqin and Du Hanzhang followed closely behind, and when they turned their eyes, they felt that this place was not like a mausoleum, but more like a place where the ancients lived. There was a large water tank for raising lotus flowers, and the water that had just leaked from above was still dripping on the edge of the eaves.

Duan Junxiu took out a thread-bound book from his body, on the cover it said that it will be a thin book, he flipped through it, then closed the book and said, "This way."

Yu Yiqin and Du Hanzhang followed him, passed through two moon gates, turned left after entering the courtyard, and saw that he raised his hand and pressed on the door lock, and the bolt snapped open.

Duan Junxiu pushed open the door, and the mahogany desk and the things neatly arranged on it came into view again. Du Hanzhang seemed to have a sense, and instantly saw a dark stone past him and the rows of bells, tripods, steles and drums.

It looks inconspicuous, the lines on the stone are shallow and rough, but it is impartial, and it is exactly the piece Duan Junxiu was looking for.

Duan Ying also made up a name for it, and the initials said Twenty Seven, Heaven and Earth Monument.And besides it, the three of them also found Duan Ying's handwriting on the bookshelf in this room.

[...The prophecy of the evil spirit is incomprehensible. It took me three years to find out that the ancient prohibition was broken, and the early astronomical calendar accounted for one of them. However, there are no traces today, so I leave this book for future generations to refer to. ]
