Chapter 232 Hidden Mission

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes fell on the top of the corridor door. On the curved wall with three vaults and three cambers, there was a yellow paper talisman with twisted spells painted in cinnabar.

This was not in the illusion.

"Huh"

Zhang Yuanqing stared at the yellow paper talisman for a moment, and finally decided not to touch it.

He couldn't be reckless. He had already put away his pistol and boxing gloves, thinking silently.

He did not walk towards the main tomb chamber behind him, but walked towards the tomb passage in the opposite direction.

Just now, he remembered the description in a tomb-robbing novel that in ancient times, nobles with status would set up a tombstone in the tomb passage after death, recording the identity, date of birth, and life deeds of the tomb owner.

Zhang Yuanqing walked into the tomb passage and explored it. As expected, he saw a blue brick groove beside the tomb passage, and a stone tablet in the groove.

The words on the stone tablet were mostly worn out over the years, and the information was unknown.

According to the remaining contents, Zhang Yuanqing roughly understood the identity of the princess. She was the eldest daughter of a prince in the early Ming Dynasty. Her maiden name was Yin Yao. She was smart and beautiful since childhood, and had a rare talent for cultivation.

She once practiced under the guidance of the Sanda Mountain Goddess in Songfu. After becoming a master, she traveled around the world and lived for two centuries. She died in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and never married.

Is this princess a disciple of Lao Bangzi? !

"There are so many copies of the extraordinary stage of Night Wandering God. The first time I entered the Sanda Mountain Goddess Temple, the second time I entered the tomb of her disciple? Is there any bad fate between me and Lao Bangzi!!"

There are no words to describe Zhang Yuanqing's mood at this time. If there must be one, it is - I'm fucking!

Zhang Yuanqing left the tomb passage with mixed feelings and returned to the tomb chamber.

Through the six-meter-long corridor door, he entered the main tomb chamber. In the center of the tomb chamber, which is as big as the lobby of a five-star hotel, there is a Xumi stone coffin bed with a white jade coffin on the bed.

There are niches on the east, west and south walls.

Everything is the same as in the illusion, the only difference is that most of the porcelain and pottery are broken, and the two half-person-high black wooden boxes are also opened, and the things inside are scattered all over the floor.

They are all clothes, books, and some items that ancient women would use.

They are not precious. There is not a single large piece of gold, silver and jade, but there are quite a few small gold and silver jewelry, such as a gold button as big as a thumb nail.

It can be seen that it has just been robbed.

This is more decent. Zhang Yuanqing muttered, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into indignation:

"Wang Xiaoer is too much to steal the dead's things."

... Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, and suddenly realized that the price of Hou Tu boots had begun.

Honest man!

He glanced at the coffin, and because of the psychological shadow of opening the coffin, he did not dare to touch it, and first checked the objects scattered on the ground.

Zhang Yuanqing touched the clothes, bronze, ceramics, ceremonial weapons, gold buttons, and twisted silver hairpins one by one, but found no props.

He immediately opened the yellowed and brittle books, a few miscellaneous books, a few geography books, and a book "Night Wandering God Breathing Heart Method".

"They are all things of little value. Tsk, Wang Xiaoer just took all the props away? Although those three props look valuable, there are only those three props in the tomb. It's a bit coincidental."

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing said "Huh" and locked his eyes on "Night Wandering God Breathing Heart Method". He was not attracted by the book, but saw something sandwiched in the book.

Pick up the heart method and check it out, and find that there is a parchment sandwiched in the book, which records some kind of sacrificial method. Find the materials recorded on the parchment and hold a ceremony to pray for power from the supreme existence in the dark.

After holding the parchment for a few seconds, the item information appeared:

[Name: Mass-produced parchment]

[Type: Leather]

[Function: Sacrifice]

[Introduction: Perform sacrifices according to the contents recorded on the parchment, and you can borrow power from the Supreme Being in the dark. ]

[Note: It has no cost, as long as you can collect the sacrificial materials. ]

What a strange thing! This is the first time Zhang Yuanqing has seen such an item. No, to be precise, this is the first time he has come into contact with the concept of "sacrificing to the Supreme Being".

Based on his own understanding, he interpreted this item:

"Getting a certain bonus through sacrifice is very similar to the skill of adding buffs in the game, but I don't know how strong this buff is. When I return to reality, I will collect materials and try it. Anyway, there is no cost, at most it will cost some money, but if it is greatly strengthened, it will be another killer."

Zhang Yuanqing tried to put the parchment into the inventory and was delighted to find that it could be put away.

"This piece of parchment alone is a good deal!" he thought with a guilty look on his face.

He has also become a tomb robber.

He walked to the jade coffin, pressed the lid with both hands, and was about to push it open, when the item information suddenly popped up in his field of vision:

[Name: Thousand-year Jade Coffin]

[Type: Coffin]

[Function: Warming the body]

[Introduction: The prop left by the goddess of Sandaoshan was originally used to store her body. After the death of the goddess of Sandaoshan, her lay disciples ordered people to build a stone coffin to replace the jade coffin. ]

[Note: It is really a touching relationship between master and apprentice. ]

"Puff~"

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

The old man was indeed lying in a stone coffin, and he pushed it open with his own hands.

Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself that it was no wonder that when I opened the coffin for Lao Bangzi, her lips were pale, her skin was dull, and she looked like she was not well-maintained.

"No, no, how can I laugh? I shouldn't gloat over such things... Speaking of which, when Lao Bangzi woke up and found himself lying in a stone coffin, I don't know what his mood was at that time. I must ask him when I have a chance. Well, at least I have to wait until I reach the master realm."

"No, no, you can't expose other people's scars."

Muttering to himself, he silently exerted force with both palms and pushed open the coffin lid little by little.

There was another jade coffin in the coffin.

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and carefully opened the lid of the jade coffin.

In the coffin, there lay a Taoist priest in a green robe, with gray hair, wrinkled face, and ruddy complexion, as if he was asleep.

Zhang Yuanqing silently closed the coffin lid, and then closed the lid of the coffin, and swore in his heart that he would never open a coffin again in his life.

The wandering Taoist priest is in the coffin. He is here. He is indeed here. Zhang Yuanqing's mind is full of complaints.

The wandering Taoist priest appeared here, which was unexpected but reasonable.

According to Wang Xiaoer's description, the wandering Taoist priest was looking for the tomb of the princess because the deadline was approaching and he wanted to make a last gamble. Regardless of whether he had obtained the secret of immortality, this jade coffin that warmed the body was an irresistible temptation for the Taoist priest.

What is the deadline? Isn't it the decay of the body and death?

This coffin warms the body, and to some extent, it does have the effect of prolonging life.

After seeing the Taoist priest in the coffin, Zhang Yuanqing combined the copy introduction and Wang Xiaoer's description and figured out a lot of things.

The course of events should be like this:

After finding the ancient tomb, the Taoist priest was delighted to find that the coffin could slow down the decay of the body, so he wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, but he was afraid of the princess in the coffin.

So, while the ghosts in the props were sleeping during the day, he instigated Wang Xiaoer to steal the props in the tomb. In this way, the princess who found that the props were stolen would angrily chase the thief away. On the other hand, the props were equivalent to guardian spirits. He did not dare to live in the tomb for a long time without eliminating the "three" terrible ghosts.

As soon as the princess left, he immediately entered the ancient tomb and occupied the coffin.

"But there is a fatal loophole in this speculation. After the princess found that the high ground was stolen, why didn't she fight back? Instead, she dared not enter the tomb again."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he left the main tomb and returned to the front room.

He stood under the arc-shaped corridor door with three vaults and three volts, raised his head, and examined the yellow paper talisman pasted on the wall.

In the illusion created by the bronze mirror, the yellow paper talisman did not exist.

In other words, this thing appeared after the bronze mirror left the tomb. The bronze mirror did not know the existence of the paper talisman, so it did not appear in the illusion.

Who pasted the yellow paper talisman? The answer is obvious.

It was pasted after the bronze mirror was stolen and the princess left the ancient tomb.

Zhang Yuanqing climbed up along the steep brick wall, holding the gap between the bricks with his fingers. He relied on a few fingers to support his whole body. Ordinary people could never do such an exaggerated operation.

Climbing to the top of the arc, Zhang Yuanqing pinched the gap between the drill blocks with two fingers, and stretched out his other hand. He did not dare to tear it off directly, and his fingers touched the yellow paper talisman.

Item information emerged:

[Name: Flame Talisman]

[Type: Talisman]

[Function: Town House]

[Introduction: The talisman drawn with blood containing the power of the sun can suppress evil spirits and protect the home. ]

[Note: It can only be used once. ]

"Sure enough, it was this talisman that blocked the princess. She couldn't go back to the tomb and could only wander around the village. Fortunately, I didn't tear it off just now." Zhang Yuanqing retracted his hand and jumped down from the wall.

"It seems that the princess can't come back. As long as I stay in the ancient tomb until ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I can pass the Aphasia Village and return to reality."

At this point, the Aphasia Village dungeon is considered to be completely conquered.

It's so tiring. I almost died three times in one night. This is ten thousand times more thrilling than fighting in a ring match. Why am I so unlucky? I always encounter a dungeon in hell mode. Zhang Yuanqing was in a bad mood.

But soon, he was in a worse mood, because he remembered that the dungeon he entered was most likely the dungeon that the Demon Lord had experienced.

And with the Demon Lord's hidden score, there will be many dungeons in hell mode in the future.

It's all the Demon Lord's fault!

Wait, Zhang Yuanqing frowned. If you can pass the level by hiding in the tomb, according to normal logic, the princess' appearance time is over, that is, the fourth watch is over, and the dungeon should be ended.

Because all bosses have been defeated, there is no point in staying.

But the main task of the dungeon is 24 hours. After dawn, I have to stay in the dungeon for ten hours.

"These ten hours are completely meaningless time. It's too exaggerated. Is it a bug? If it's not a bug, according to my experience, this dungeon also has hidden tasks, so these ten hours are reserved for spiritual realm travelers to do hidden tasks."

"Survival dungeons are dungeons that the spiritual realm does not give any prompts. Whether it is a hidden task or not, you have to guess it yourself. Unlike Yinyang Town, once a hidden task is triggered, the spiritual realm will give a prompt."

What is a hidden task?

The props that fall asleep during the day, the princess who has a home but cannot return

Zhang Yuanqing understood.

The hidden task is to help the princess find the props and help her return to the ancient tomb.

So the setting of the props sleeping during the day is to allow the spiritual realm walker to find the props without distraction.

"It seems that finding props is also a difficult task, but it doesn't matter, I have a little funny!" Zhang Yuanqing became more and more determined as he thought about it, his eyes shining.

And this is in line with his enthusiastic and honest style.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yuanqing sat down in the corner of the outer room, leaning against the brick wall, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

Three hours later, Zhang Yuanqing, who was sleeping lightly, woke up, put on his red dancing shoes, walked along the steep brick wall, walked into the entrance of the upper robbery hole, and then crawled out of the ground along the robbery hole.

It was already light outside.

The valley was lush and green, with mountains and dense forests on both sides.

Zhang Yuanqing made full use of the wearing time of the red dancing shoes, walked out of the mountains, danced with it outside the village, and then entered the village.

Just like when he came in yesterday, the depressed and dilapidated village was quiet, without human voices, but also without danger.

Zhang Yuanqing spit out the little funny guy and told him to go treasure hunting.

The little funny guy crawled to the feet of his master, opened his short and thick arms, hugged Zhang Yuanqing's calves, and "rubbed" with his round face to show intimacy.

After experiencing the crisis last night, he gradually became smart and knew how to be grateful.

The little funny guy moved his limbs and crawled in front to lead the way. Zhang Yuanqing followed slowly. Not long after, they found the deceased No. 1 in an alley.

The deceased No. 1 lay stiffly on the ground, like a frozen corpse. There was no obvious external injury on his body, but Zhang Yuanqing looked sad.

The spirit in the Yin corpse was destroyed.

When refining a Yin corpse, the first step is to make the spirit body remaining in the corpse fit with the flesh again.

The spirit body is the foundation and core of the Yin corpse.

Without the broken spirit body, the Yin corpse is just a shell, which is equivalent to being scrapped.

Zhang Yuanqing knelt down beside the Yin corpse and kowtowed hard:

"Brother, you died for me. I will never forget this kindness. I can only repay you in the next life. Goodbye!"

After kowtowing, Zhang Yuanqing felt something was wrong, but he was honest and didn't think too much. He picked up the human-shaped membrane next to the Yin corpse.

The perfect human skin was still there. It was not taken away by the princess. It shed off the corpse by itself.

"You made me decide to sacrifice my brother. You are a disaster. I will sell you when the copy comes out."

Zhang Yuanqing took it back to the inventory with great grief, and then went to the courtyard where Mr. Xu lived and took away the silver rouge box on the desk.

Next, we searched for the ghost doll and the bronze mirror.

The little funny guy took Zhang Yuanqing around in the dilapidated mountain village, and finally returned to Wang Xiaoer's residence.

The headless body of the old man was still lying on the side of the path outside the yard.

Looking at the infant spirit that came into the yard without hesitation, Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and was about to catch up quickly when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the old man's body.

He felt a surge of guilt and sadness in his heart for no reason.

He walked to the old man's body, knelt down, and kowtowed three times honestly to show his apology.

Then he got up and chased the little funny guy into the inner room where the coffin was placed. The little infant spirit was lying under the coffin, patting the compacted ground with his small hands, and making a childish cry of "Aba Aba" from his mouth.

Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he grabbed the bloodthirsty blade, and the sharp tip of the knife chiseled the hard soil.

After chiseling for more than ten centimeters, the tip of the knife suddenly made a "ding" sound, as if it had pierced something hard.

Zhang Yuanqing reached out and wiped away the broken mud, revealing an iron box lid in the pit. He continued to chisel the mud, and as the area of ​​the pit expanded, he finally dug out the iron box.

The iron box was half a meter long, twenty centimeters wide, and thirty centimeters high, with a copper lock hanging on it.

Zhang Yuanqing easily cut off the padlock and opened the lid of the box. Inside was a box full of gold, silver, and jade. On the surface was a black, crystal sculpture of a girl with a pair of protruding ears.

The girl opened her mouth, but there was no tongue inside.

Next to the sculpture was a palm-sized round bronze mirror, gray, with a phoenix engraved on the back, and the phoenix's eyes were two red gems.

Zhang Yuanqing turned the bronze mirror over and looked at himself in the mirror, but his face did not appear in the bronze mirror.

This is a mirror that does not reflect people.

Holding the two props, waiting for a moment, the item information emerged:

[Name: Yin Jade Doll]

[Type: Crafts]

[Function: Possession]

[Introduction: It was originally a piece of Yin jade that had been nurtured for a hundred years in an extremely Yin land. It was accidentally obtained by a lonely little girl. The girl carried the Yin jade for a long time, and gradually the Yin Qi entered her body, and she died soon. Her spirit merged with the Yin jade and turned into a sculpture. ]

[Note 1: The spirit in the Yin jade is eager to play games. Anyone who does not play games with her will be possessed. The possession cannot be avoided or blocked, and the spirit cannot be completely erased. ]

[Note 2: Let's play games, I want to be the third person, hehe~]

Zhang Yuanqing was dumbfounded and muttered: "Rules, rule-type props"

In the item attributes, any props with descriptions such as "cannot XX" and "cannot XX" are rule-type props.

Because only rule-based props are so overbearing, because rules are rules and cannot be changed.

The ghost doll has a very simple function, but it is indeed a rule-based prop.

In fact, when Zhang Yuanqing learned that he had to gather three people to avoid the crisis of the ghost doll, he had a hunch in his heart, which was similar to the rules of the red dancing shoes.

-You must dance to break the rules and avoid being chased.

Zhang Yuanqing instinctively, subconsciously, and incompatible with his honest character, wanted to put the ghost doll into the inventory and take it for himself.

[Ding! The item cannot be collected. ]

This thing belongs to the princess, I can't have it. Zhang Yuanqing felt ashamed for a few seconds and looked at the item information of the second item:

[Name: Ghost Mirror]

[Type: Mirror]

[Function: Charm, Ghost Reflection]

[Introduction: Everything in this world can be reflected, but the human heart is hard to grasp. The Ghost Mirror is a tool that Princess Yin Yao refined after traveling around the world for two decades, experiencing vicissitudes, and seeing all the human affairs. It can record what it sees and hears, and create an illusion that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. ]

[Note: From the moment you use it, you are - a great sage]

Great sage? Is this also a price?

Because he has not become the owner of the item, Zhang Yuanqing cannot experience what the price of "great sage" means.

But these are not important. It is more important to return the item to the poor princess.

He found a bamboo basket in the outer hall to put the three props in, carried the bamboo basket and left Wang Xiaoer's stone house, and walked to the back.

It's time to complete the hidden task and end the copy.
