At dusk, the sun sets.
Members of the Hou Tu Gang emerged from the tomb one after another, a total of thirteen people, plus the Tiandihui members, sixteen people.
"Finally out!"
"It feels like a lifetime ago, I almost thought I was going to die in there... Unfortunately, the things I fished out were limited."
The tomb robbers were excited, some of them sat on the ground like exhausted, enjoying the joy of surviving the robbery; some of them lightly counted the treasures they brought out of the tomb, lamenting that the cost-effectiveness of this operation was too low.
The Tiandihui members were in a heavy mood, with no smiles on their faces.
Hengyuan gently put Lina on the ground, stared at the tomb woodenly, and whispered: "I am not even as good as a woman."
He sat in silence for a few seconds, clasped his hands together, and cried bitterly.
The degree of sadness was not weaker than the death of Henghui, who he raised.
Hengyuan was afraid that he would have to leave a knot in his heart. When he reached the high level in the future, this would be the biggest flaw in his state of mind... Chu Yuanzhen opened his mouth, wanting to comfort him, but couldn't say a word.
He also needed to calm down and take some time to calm down his grief.
Hengyuan had received great favors from Xu Ningyan many times, but at this critical moment of life and death, he "cowardly" escaped. This incident was an unimaginable blow to Hengyuan.
Although he had never received favors from Xu Ningyan, he regarded him as a friend with whom he could confide. Xu Ningyan died in the underground tomb, and he was extremely sad.
It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be... He is a man with great luck, he shouldn't die here... Taoist Master Jinlian rarely showed a decadent look, which was in sharp contrast to the image of a master he had always maintained.
Although I thought so in my heart, I also knew that the so-called people with great luck were not really immortal, especially when they touched the high level.
Such a person with great luck was lost here, is it a sign that I will die... Taoist Master Jinlian felt lost.
"Master!"
At this time, the sick leader of the Houtu Gang came over. He looked more and more haggard, with sunken eye sockets, weak blood, and a pair of turbid eyes bursting with light:
"Master, please tell us the name of our benefactor. Although the Houtu Gang is a gravedigger and a low-class gang, we still know how to repay kindness.
"The benefactor has passed away, and we can't repay him in this life. We just want to build a longevity monument for him. From now on, all members of the Houtu Gang must worship him every day and never forget him."
Qian You's eyes were filled with tears. He wiped his eyes and cried, "Master, please tell me the name of my benefactor."
"Master, please tell me the name of my benefactor." The members of the Houtu Gang said excitedly.
"Xu Qiyan, his name is Xu Qiyan, and he is the silver gong of the night watchman's office in the capital. "Master Jinlian sighed, and then told them how to write the name.
Xu Qian'an... Hou Tu Gang silently memorized the name.
At this moment, Master Jinlian, Hengyuan, and Chu Yuanzhen suddenly froze. They caught a very subtle sound of footsteps coming out of the thief's mouth.
There was a few seconds of silence, and then Hengyuan grabbed Lina and threw her to the Hou Tu Gang, roaring in a low voice: "Go, go quickly!"
Master Jinlian and Chu Yuanzhen retreated a distance, forming a "品" shape with Hengyuan, facing the thief's hole.
The old Taoist said in a deep voice: "Leave quickly, go as far as you can, the monster in the tomb... is coming out."
Hengyuan was not afraid at all, but showed a look of relief, and said in an extremely relaxed tone: "Amitabha, this time, I will not leave again. "
I haven't participated in the battle between heaven and man yet... Chu Yuanzhen muttered, reaching behind his back and grasping the sword that had never been unsheathed.
The faces of the Houtu gang members changed drastically, and they were so scared that they fled.
For a moment, no one cared about the unconscious Lina.
These sons of bitches... The sick man gang leader cursed in his heart, endured the strong fear and turned back, trying to take Lina away.
He grabbed Lina's hands, leaned over and carried her on his shoulders, while looking up at the thief's mouth, praying that the terrible corpse would not come out at this time, and then... he saw a bald big boiled egg.
The big boiled egg drooped and walked out slowly, with a girl in a linen robe lying on his back. The two formed a sharp contrast, which made people wonder:
Why not give him some hair.
The sick man gang leader was stunned, keeping the posture of leaning over, holding Lina's wrist in his hand, staring blankly at the man and woman who came out.
The three people facing the robbers were also stunned like him.
The scene fell into silence for a while.
Chu Yuanzhen murmured: "Is it him?"
"Fortune" became more solid, and the magic of the supervisor to block the secrets of heaven failed? He, how did he escape from the mummy....... Various thoughts flashed through the mind of Taoist Jinlian, but his expression was quite dull and he said:
"It should be him."
At this time, Xu Qian'an raised a smile: "Everyone is out, it's great. "
As he spoke, he lifted Zhong Li's hips and lifted her up.
The passage was narrow and could not provide the space needed for a princess hug, so he had to do it from the back.
"Master Xu..."
Bathed in the evening sunshine, Hengyuan felt that the world was so beautiful, good deeds were rewarded, and the Dharma was immeasurable.
He tried his best to control his emotions, clasped his hands together with slight trembling, his eyes were red, and he lowered his head to chant the Buddha's name.
"My benefactor, my benefactor...it turns out that you are not dead, it's great." Qian You, who had greased his feet, saw Xu Qian'an come out safely.
He was immediately ecstatic, greased his feet again, and ran back.
Although this man was cautious and afraid of death, his character was still good.
"My benefactor is blessed with a long life, it's great, it's really great. "The members of Hou Tu Gang returned with joy.
Xu Qi'an was a little embarrassed by their praise. He thought that if it wasn't for the luck that stimulated the monk Shen Shu to wake up, I might have really escaped at that time......
The jade seal turned into white sand, and the luck penetrated into his body. At that time, Xu Qi'an felt something awakening in his body. It was the severed hand of the monk Shen Shu. The originally silent severed hand made Xu Qi'an feel its existence for the first time.
With confidence, he dared to stay behind. Otherwise, he could only pray to run faster than his teammates.
After all, when you encounter a "bear", it's not the bear that you compete with, but your teammates.
......
Outside the city, in a valley far away from the southern mountains, by the stream, Xu Qi'an took the water handed over by Qian You.
He filled the water from the stream... I don't know if I will have diarrhea after drinking it, it's full of bacteria... Xu Qi'an thought to himself and drank it all in one gulp.
It took a whole day to explore the ancient tomb, and finally fought with the BOSS, which consumed a lot of physical strength, and continued to replenish water.
Lina was left aside and fell asleep. Zhong Li sat alone by the stream, treating his injuries.
The warlock system is not good at fighting, and the physique cannot be compared with the martial arts system that improves itself. Fortunately, all the warlocks are great masters, and they are a group of people who can save the world.
Zhong Li can handle this injury by himself, and it will not affect Xu Qi'an's bragging.
"At that time, I didn't think about anything, I just wanted everyone to leave quickly, and I would block all the dangers..." Xu Qi'an said with saliva flying.
The Hou Tu Gang members were moved beyond words, and when they recalled their behavior of running away for fear of death, they were ashamed.
Privately, Xu Qi'an told Taoist Jinlian and others, and explained through voice transmission: "The prisoner is leaving a back-up in my body, as for what it is, I can't say. "
The Supervisor actually left a backhand for him... As expected, my prediction was correct. Xu Ningyan is an important chess piece of the Supervisor. Now it seems that the importance of this chess piece is extraordinary.
Taoist Jinlian nodded in relief.
No wonder, no wonder Miss Zhong Li from the Sitianjian followed him... Chu Yuanzhen glanced at the thin back of Zhong Li in the distance and revealed a look of surprise.
In addition, he thought of more details, such as why the Supervisor appointed him as a representative to fight against Buddhism. For example, why Taoist Jinlian valued and loved Xu Qiyan so much.
There were also details shown when leading the way in the maze just now. All these things indicate that Xu Qiyan is not a simple person, and there are unimaginable secrets hidden behind him.
Interesting.
Hengyuan's thoughts are relatively pure. In his opinion, Xu Ningyan is a good person, and Xu Ningyan is not dead, so the world is still beautiful for the time being.
"It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to practice Vajra Invincibility, and I'm still a long way from the third rank." Hengyuan sighed in his heart.
After bragging, Xu Qian'an's eyes moved to the wild sorcerer in the Houtu Gang, an old man with gray hair, about fifty years old, wearing a dirty robe.
"What's your name, senior?"
"I don't dare to be called "senior". My surname is Gongyang and my given name is Su." The wild old sorcerer waved his hand.
"How did the senior find this tomb?" Xu Qian'an asked.
According to Qian You, this big tomb under Nanshan was discovered by Gongyang Su, a sorcerer who is proficient in feng shui and also the deputy gang leader.
This is very strange. This tomb has been buried there for thousands of years, no, tens of thousands of years. Why was it discovered at this time?
"That tomb was not discovered by me, but by my teacher. The sorcerers of our lineage have almost cut off the possibility of promotion. Most of them stop at the fifth rank. As for the reason......"
Gongyang Su shook his head and said, "The secrets in the system are inconvenient to disclose. "
Isn't it just that you need to rely on the court? I already knew it... Xu Qian'an curled his lips secretly, didn't interrupt him, and continued to listen.
"People have to eat, and there are only a few ways to make a living. The most profitable business, hehe, is nothing more than making money from the dead. I have traveled around the nine states with my teacher since I was a child, and my footprints have covered all the rivers and mountains in the world. Whenever we encounter a Feng Shui treasure land, we will record it and look for opportunities to dig it in the future.
"If there is a tomb, we will make a fortune. If there is no tomb, we will introduce it to the rich. This tomb was discovered by my teacher when he was young, so he recorded it. But my teacher is not keen on digging graves, saying that this matter is against the harmony of heaven and will be punished by heaven sooner or later.
"Who would have thought that this old thing really hit the mark. If there is no benefactor this time, I am afraid that I will sleep forever underground. "
I have no ability to judge whether what you said is true or false. As a sorcerer, the Qi-reading technique is useless to you... The opportunity for this matter is No. 5, not me. There are very few people who know that I am a member of the Tiandihui. Moreover, one condition must be met, that is, knowing the whereabouts of No. 5, which excludes the possibility of human arrangement... Oh, I am almost suffering from monitoring stress disorder.
Xu Qian'an sighed in his heart.
Then he thought of the mysterious sorcerer he met in Yunzhou, and couldn't help cursing inwardly: All the sorcerers are really old silver coins.
Well, a high-quality sorcerer.
A woman like Chu Caiwei who is not very smart has definitely chosen the wrong system, and so has Zhong Li.
But saying this is a bit humiliating to Zhong Li. After all, although she is unlucky, pitiful, and has no opinion, her IQ is obviously one level higher than Caiwei.
Gathering his thoughts, he pretended to be curious and asked: "Senior Gongyang, who is the ancestor of your lineage of sorcerers?"
Gongyang Su looked at him steadily and shook his head and said: "I don't know."
This is a lie, the facial features are too obvious......Xu Qiyan pretended to be confused and asked in confusion: "Isn't it the first generation of supervisors?"
Gongyang Su looked normal and said: "The origin of sorcerers is the first generation of supervisors. As for who is the ancestor of my lineage, I don't know."
"It should be a faction that broke away from the Sitianjian five hundred years ago." Xu Qiyan said in a calm tone.
Gongyang Su's face changed wildly.
He opened his mouth, his Adam's apple rolled: "Mr. Xu, please spare me a moment to talk."
I lost my hard drive, how can I borrow one? Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, smiled and stood up, and walked down the stream.
Gong Yangsu followed silently.
Walking on the pebbles, Xu Qi'an stopped only after walking a hundred meters away, because this distance could ensure that their conversation would not be "eavesdropped" by Taoist Jinlian and others.
Friends are friends, I can't reveal the secrets of the sorcerer system to you unless you pay.
The footsteps behind him stopped, Gong Yangsu stared at Xu Qi'an, his face serious, and tried: "Mr. Xu, what else do you know?"
"I also know that Emperor Wuzong was able to successfully usurp the throne because he allied with the Buddhist sect, and the Buddhist sect helped him kill the first generation of supervisors." Xu Qi'an turned around and looked at him with burning eyes.
"....You even know this. Who are you? You have a prophet by your side, and you can escape from the evil corpse in the ancient tomb."
"You don't need to know who I am. I just want to ask you, what role did the current Supervisor play in the past?" Xu Qi'an got straight to the point and asked the doubts that had troubled him for a long time.
"Hehe, isn't this a very obvious thing? If there were no high-quality sorcerers working together, it would not be so easy for the Buddhist sect to kill a first-grade sorcerer." Gong Yang Su sneered.
His eyes and expression were full of disdain and contempt. Xu Qi'an knew that it was not directed at the Buddhist sect, but at the current Supervisor.
I guessed right. The Supervisor did act as a traitor in the past, so he got his current status... Xu Qi'an sighed and felt very uncomfortable.
He did not have a moral cleanliness obsession, but he instinctively felt disgusted and could not accept this kind of teacher-killing behavior.
"So, the sorcerers who are now wandering around the world are all those who split off after the death of the first generation of the Supervisor?" Xu Qi'an asked calmly without revealing any flaws in his expression.
"There were six sorcerers who split off from the Si Tian Jian, and they were the six disciples of the first generation of the Supervisor. The ancestor of my lineage was the fourth disciple of the first generation of the Supervisor, and his rank was a fourth-grade array master."
Xu Qi'an asked hurriedly: "Are you still in touch with the other five sorcerer schools? How are they now?"
Gong Yangsu shook his head: "We are all on our own, so how can we still have any contact? Besides, why should we contact each other and form a secret organization to fight against the Si Tian Jian?"
He smiled bitterly: "The sorcerer system needs to be attached to the dynasty, and the higher the grade, the more so. This is why our six sorcerers have declined."
This is not right. The one I met in Yunzhou is definitely a high-grade sorcerer. He does not belong to the Si Tian Jian, and the six factions cannot be promoted to high grades... There is something wrong with the logic.
Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice: "I once met a high-quality sorcerer in Yunzhou, at least a celestial master, and he was not from the Si Tian Jian."
Gong Yang Su was stunned, frowning: "This shouldn't be."
Xu Qi'an pondered: "Is it possible that he has joined a certain force, just like the Si Tian Jian relies on Da Feng."
Gong Yang Su pondered: "In that case, both Buddhism and Wu Shen Cult are possible. As for the southern border barbarians and the northern barbarians, oh, you may not know that they cannot gather luck."
No, I know, Dean Zhao Shou told me......
Only Buddhism and Wu Shen Cult......The sorcerer helped me defeat the conspiracy of Wu Shen Cult, he must have malicious intentions towards me, because I suspect that the sorcerer behind the tax silver case is this group of people, of course this speculation needs to be verified.......But, no matter whether he is kind or malicious to me, he and Wu Shen Cult are not the same kind of people.
Then, only Buddhism is left? !
I know that those bald donkeys in the West are not good people...Strictly, it's still a hypothesis, there is no evidence...Well, but it doesn't stop me from dissing bald donkeys. Xu Qian'an took a deep breath and clearly realized the undercurrents between the major forces in Jiuzhou.
"I want to ask Senior Gongyang the last question." Xu Qian'an said.
"You saved my life. As long as I know it, I will tell you everything I know." Gongyang Su nodded.
"Do you know that the Supervisor blocked all information about the first Supervisor?"
Gongyang Su said, "As expected, emperors have known to modify history books since ancient times."
Xu Qiyan said in a confused tone, "But the problem is that there are many people who know about the existence of the first Supervisor, such as you and me."
Gongyang Su pondered for a moment, looked at the turbulent stream, and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think is blocking the secrets of heaven?"
"Erase everything related to someone, or block the specialness of someone?"
Xu Qiyan gave his answer based on his understanding of the "404 Dafa".
Gongyang Su retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Qian'an: "Then, what does it mean to erase everything related?"
Without waiting for Xu Qian'an to answer, he lowered his head, drew a line on the ground with his toes, pointed at the mark and said:
"It's easy to erase this mark. No one can know that I have drawn a path here. But what if this path expands countless times and becomes a gully or even a canyon?
"Furthermore, what if this canyon runs across the capital?"
Xu Qian'an suddenly realized: "I understand. The first generation of supervisors is this canyon. Even if it is blocked from the secrets of heaven, it has such a great impact and is so conspicuous that the traces left behind cannot be completely erased."
Gongyang Su nodded and continued:
"In addition, if the people closest to Mr. Xu, such as his parents, have their traces of existence erased, then will Mr. Xu feel that he jumped out of a stone? Will others think that Mr. Xu jumped out of a stone?
"The magic that blocks the secrets of heaven must also follow the rules of heaven and earth and the great principles. If it is the closest person, they will leave a vague concept in their minds, but they can't remember the corresponding details."
So that's it, no wonder Wei Yuan said that he always forgot that there was such a person as the first generation supervisor. Only when he recalled the information of the Sitianjian, he would remember that there was a first generation supervisor from the historical rift!
Xu Qian'an seemed to be referring to something and said: "You know a lot."
Gongyang Su smiled with a clear conscience: "It's not that I know a lot, but that my lineage only knows these. Since it comes to this, I will tell you some secrets of the sorcerer system.
"The first and second grades of sorcerers are very mysterious. Even my ancestor doesn't know the names of these two grades and the corresponding methods. "
Xu Qian'an nodded slowly: "Thank you for reminding me. "
After finishing the conversation, Xu Qi'an slowly approached Zhong Li by the stream. She was cleaning her wounds and applying a piece of brown ointment to her swollen and congested legs.
Until the swelling of her legs subsided slightly, she took out two prepared wooden sticks, tore off a piece of cloth, and planned to straighten her bones.
Xu Qi'an suddenly yelled behind her.
Zhong Li shivered with fear, and a wooden stick slipped out of her hand and floated away along the stream.
Xu Qi'an put his hands on his waist and looked at it triumphantly.
"You....."
Zhong Li was a little angry, gritted her teeth and muttered: "I won't go back to find you next time."
"Okay, okay, what's the pity of a broken stick. When we return to the capital, I'll change a silver stick for you."
Xu Qi'an pulled her up, carried the unlucky fifth sister on his back, and said loudly: "Master, it's time to go back to the capital. "
After a while, the flying sword and the paper crane flew away with the wind, soared into the sky, and disappeared.
With his back to the setting sun, Xu Qian'an held Zhong Li's hips with both hands and sang loudly.
The members of the Hou Tu Gang looked up and watched the masters leave, their hearts and minds were shaken.
From afar, there was a loud singing voice: "The light of justice shines on the big buttocks......"
......
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the members of the Hou Tu Gang rushed to the gate of Xiangcheng, and there was only a quarter of an hour left before the gate was closed.
"Hurry up, hurry up, find an inn to rest, it will be curfew if it's late." The sick man gang leader urged the gang members to speed up.
Looking back, I found that Qian You did not keep up, but stopped at the notice wall at the city gate, staring blankly at the official notice on it.
"Qian You, Qian You... What the hell are you in a daze, is there a woman on the wall that makes you unable to move like this? "The sick gang leader yelled angrily.
Qian You turned around, his expression too complicated to describe in words, and stammered: "Gang, gang leader, you, you come here......"
The sick gang leader went over angrily and cursed: "If there is no woman on the wall, I will strip you naked and paste you on the wall."
While cursing, he followed Qian You's hand and looked at the notice on the wall.
Then, the two of them froze by the wall.
"Gang leader, what's wrong with you two? "
Seeing this, the other members followed and came over, thinking that there were also stunning beauties on the wall, what was going on with these two people.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that there was an official notice on the wall:
In the year of Xinchou, on March 18th, the Buddhist delegation arrived in Beijing, intending to fight with the Imperial Observatory. The night watchman Xu Qi'an went to the battle, broke the magic circle, beheaded the golden body, and distinguished the Buddhist teachings... He defeated Buddhism and promoted the prestige of the country.
Qian You stammered, "I, I remember the name of the benefactor, it was Xu Qi'an? !"
"Gulu! "A member of the Hou Tu Gang rolled his Adam's apple.
"Gulp..."
The sound of swallowing saliva sounded one after another.
Fighting on behalf of the Si Tian Jian, defeating Buddhism... Gong Yang Su's pupils contracted violently. He realized that the young man surnamed Xu was not ordinary.
But he did not expect that the other party was such a person.
The sick man leader murmured: "I was wrong, wrong...
"I naively thought that he was a warrior of the lowest status. It turns out that he is the real big man. Breaking the magic circle, beheading the golden body, and distinguishing the Buddhist teachings... He is really a god."
