"Ten meters!" Chen Wenjin couldn't help but look at Huo Xiuer with wide eyes, and Huo Xiuer's words at this time also successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the Nine Sects.
The ten-meter tomb-guarding beast was no ordinary monster.
Even if you don't know what a death worm is, hearing that it is ten meters in size is enough to know how terrifying it is.
Let such an unsuspecting archaeological team go, it would be good if anyone could come out alive!
"Yes, you heard that right, and there are more than a hundred of these tomb-guarding beasts alone. There are seventy-two layers of mechanisms in the tomb chamber, and there are thousands of coffin-guarding beasts. There is no way to get in."
"Thousands!" Chen Wenjin looked at Huo Xiuer suspiciously at this time, with a big question mark on his head, and then asked, "With so many agencies, so many tomb guardian beasts and coffin guardian beasts, how did you get into Kuiliang's tomb?"< br>
According to Huo Xiuer, Chen Wenjin thought that if they went, let alone entering the tomb, they would not even be able to touch the tomb door.
They were afraid that as soon as they approached Kuiliang's tomb, they would be beaten to death by a group of tomb-guarding beasts.
Huo Xiuer shook her head at this time, "We didn't go in. I just know that in fact, we encountered a few death worms and were unable to deal with them. We were blocked in the cave by the death worms, and almost all of them died there."< br>
"I didn't go in!" Chen Wenjin looked at Huo Xiu'er even more puzzled, "I didn't go in. How did you know that there were mechanisms and coffin guardian beasts in the tomb? But we explored the tomb for a long time and didn't get this news. Are you? How do you know? ”
At this time, everyone in the Nine Sects focused their attention on Huo Xiuer. Although they were not very interested in archeology, they were full of curiosity about the ancient tomb.
They all wanted to know why Huo Xiuer was so familiar with this ancient tomb.
Huo Xiuer shrugged, turned her eyes to the direction of Hao's house in Jiumen, and said softly: "Brother Haoxie told me. He reminded me before I set off not to go to Kuiliang's tomb, and also told me about the death worm. Things.”
She paused and continued, "I asked him if he had been to Kuiliang's tomb, but he said he hadn't been either. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but after I went, I actually found death worms next to Kuiliang's tomb. . Several archaeological team members died as a result. We hid in the cave in desperation. The death worms couldn't get in because of their size, but they guarded the entrance and refused to let us out."
Hearing this, Zhang Wenshan frowned and looked at Huo Xiuer in confusion: "Isn't that a certain death situation?"
Huo Xiuer nodded, "Yeah, we thought we were going to die at the time, but then I contacted Brother Haoxie and he told me how to get out of trouble. Moreover, he also told me how many mechanisms and pallbearing beasts there were in that tomb. , our strength is simply unable to resist those monsters. We have no choice but to come back.”
Zhang Wenshan looked at Huo Xiuer with a blank look on his face and asked doubtfully: "He has never been there, but he knows that tomb well..."
After saying that, he looked at Hao Sansheng aside, "Hao Sansheng, I didn't expect that your old Hao family knows so much! Could it be that you taught him this?"
Hao Sansheng was stunned for a moment, and after a while he realized what he was doing and cursed directly: "Fart! Although our Hao family fights a lot, who doesn't know how much someone weighs? If I had that ability, I would be the head of the family now. It’s my turn to sit down. Besides, I just heard the words Kuiliang Tomb for the first time today. Where can I teach him?”
After saying that, Hao Sansheng also turned to look at Huo Xiuer and asked: "Girl, are you really sure it was Hao Xie who helped you? This guy hasn't called me for three days, and I can't even contact him!"
Huo Xiuer nodded and said seriously: "Yes, he helped me. Is it necessary to lie about this kind of thing?"
Hao Sansheng waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. It's just that this kid suddenly knows so much, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. But that's right, after all, I've been wandering outside for several years, I should have made some progress! Maybe it's him. I heard it by chance.”
After saying that, Hao Sansheng raised his chin and glanced at everyone, his eyes full of pride.
Although I don’t know how Hao Xie understands so much, Hao Xie really made him proud on this occasion.
Zhang Wenshan glanced at Hao Sansheng. Although he felt a little uncomfortable with his proud look, he was also thinking about it in his heart.
Who among the nine sects doesn’t know what Hao Sansheng is capable of?
Although Tail Dou is a good player and good at strategy, but when it comes to erudition...
If you say this in front of him, it will definitely be misunderstood as a curse.
So, Zhang Wenshan shook his head secretly, thinking, could it be that this boy Hao Xie really had no chance?
Listening to Huo Xiuer's description of Kuiliang's tomb, everyone in the Nine Sects knew that it must be a big tomb.
There may be many treasures in it!
If there was nothing, the owner of the tomb wouldn't have to create so many mechanisms and monsters.
This was the first time that people from the Nine Sects had heard of such a large tomb.
But Hao Xie knew this very well, and his research on the tomb was ahead of everyone else.
"Girl Huo, has that kid told you? What is he doing now?" Hao Sansheng asked again, his eyes full of concern.
Huo Xiuer shook her head, "No, I wanted to ask him too, but brother Haoxie didn't say anything and seemed very busy! By the way, he said he seemed to be in some trouble now. But when I asked him, he Just hang up the phone.”
After saying that, Huo Xiuer curled her lips and looked helpless.
Zhang Wenshan sighed, still looking suspicious, "It stands to reason that Jiu Sect has a certain understanding of all the tombs in the Dragon Kingdom. If you want to study, you should come to our Jiu Sect to do research. Hao Xie prefers the far away from the near. , went to other places, and then became so familiar with Kuiliang’s tomb...it feels a bit unrealistic.”
Huo Xiuer suddenly remembered that she had asked Hao Xie before how he knew so much.
At this time, when he heard that Zhang Wenshan was suspicious of Hao Xie, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle Zhang, brother Hao Xie said that he met a mysterious man. The mysterious man gave him a book, so he understood so much. More! It is said that Brother Haoxie is in this book. I saw information and detailed explanations about all the tombs in the Dragon Kingdom, including the tomb of Kuiliang. Even though I haven’t read it, I feel like Brother Haoxie really learned about it. A lot.”
"Mysterious man?" Zhang Wenshan couldn't help but frown and looked at Huo Xiuer with a puzzled look on his face.
Especially when it came to the book that recorded all the tombs in the Dragon Kingdom, he couldn't believe it, so he shook his head funny and said, "We know all about the tombs in the Dragon Kingdom. This is an exaggeration! Our Nine Sects They are both from the Dou Dou family. Although they have their own businesses now, they have studied this thing all their lives. I don’t think anyone understands it better than our Jiumen. And even though we don’t dare to claim to be right. All the tombs in the Dragon Kingdom are known. Girl, what you said is really an exaggeration!”
Huo Xiuer pouted, not wanting to argue, but she secretly cursed in her heart: Do you believe it or not? Anyway, I believe it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have run away from Kuiliang's tomb!
Chen Wenjin also nodded at this time and said: "Yes, if there is such a person, he should have been discovered by the archaeological team early in the morning. If such a person is invited to come back to develop our archaeological cause, he will definitely make the archaeological path of Long Kingdom go forward." It will be smoother. But I have never heard of such a powerful person! Girl, could it be that your brother Hao Xie happened to have been to Kuiliang's tomb, so he knows what's going on inside. What I'm telling you is all this. Are you kidding me?”
Huo Xiuer shook her head helplessly, not sure.
But Hao Xie told her from the beginning that he had never been to Kuiliang's tomb.
And in Huo Xiuer's heart, there was no need for Hao Xie to make such a joke, because it was not funny at all.
"Okay!" Zhang Wenshan suddenly waved his hands and said, "It's almost time, let's bury it first! This matter is just an interlude after all, there is no need to go into it further. How about this little guy Hao Xie, I think Hao San Province will study it .”
Everyone nodded at this time, but Chen Wenjin secretly thought: Is there really such a powerful person in the world? They know all the ancient tombs in the Dragon Kingdom very well. If such people join the archaeological team, wouldn't they just go to whatever tomb they want? I don’t know how much history will be revealed by then.
But... Chen Wenjin sighed silently, thinking how could there be such a person in this world?
I'm afraid that girl Huo Xiu'er is too superstitious about Haoxie? That's why Hao Xie is such a myth.
"The time has come!"
At this moment, a long shout came from the edge of the tomb not far away. Everyone looked towards the grave pit and walked over.
The strong men from each family in the Nine Gates hung up the coffins with ropes, and then after hearing the instructions, they placed the coffins in the grave pit.
The corpses were not cremated, and the people buried in the Nine Gates did not have the habit of being cremated.
But before this burial, people from the Nine Sects discussed it with each other.
After all, these corpses are corpses that have not decomposed after more than ten years of death. If they are not cremated, they are afraid of any accidents.
But in the end, this opinion was still in the minority, and most people still agreed to follow the old school's rules and bury them directly without cremation.
But the funeral ceremony must be held very formally and grandly.
At this time, Zhang Wenshan came to the tomb pit. At a glance, the scene was very spectacular.
Nine families were buried together. This kind of thing has probably never happened since ancient times, right?
This is truly the first time ever.
These are all thanks to that mysterious man. If he hadn't sent back this body, the Nine Sects wouldn't have made such a big fuss in Tanzhou City today.
However, I am still very grateful to that mysterious man from the bottom of my heart. After all, these people are the descendants of their Nine Sects.
It is everyone's wish to have fallen leaves return to their roots. They also hope that their clan members who died outside can be buried in their hometown.
But what puzzled Zhang Wenshan was that this mysterious man was obviously kind to them, so why didn't he come out to meet him?
So that their gratitude can be traced!
Zhang Wenshan shook his head slightly, then raised his horn and shouted in a loud voice: "Start the burial!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong men from the major families in the Nine Sects began to pull up the coffin and slowly lowered it into the grave.
Since the funeral ceremony was extremely important, the suona players nearby played the funeral music even harder. Some even had their cheeks covered with bloodshot eyes, which shows their deep devotion.
It was dark, but the sky was still full of paper money.
People from the Nine Gates were not far away watching the process of lowering the coffin.
As the coffins fell into the tomb one by one, Huo Xiuer's eyes fell on the patterns on the coffins, and she couldn't help but recall the cave outside Kuiliang's tomb in Miaojiang. There was a corpse there that had been around for nearly a thousand years. There was no coffin, only a tight cover over it. The Gu clock looks quite desolate.
However, thanks to the thousand-year-old corpse, they were able to escape from that ghost place, otherwise it would be impossible to escape.
While Huo Xiuer was deep in thought, there were sudden sounds of surprise from all around.
She quickly retracted her thoughts and followed everyone's gazes. She saw a mist suddenly rising over the coffins. It was not big, but it happened to cover several coffins.
Everyone cast surprised glances, and some even started talking: "Look, could this be a manifestation of the clan's spirit?"
"No way, isn't this kind of thing made up by ignorant people in ancient times? How is this possible?"
"Then why do you think a mist suddenly rose?"
"I don't know. Do you think these dead people are angry because they were not cremated? Is this a warning to us?"
Everyone was talking about it and couldn't agree on what to do.
Huo Xiuer stood next to Chen Wenjin, frowning as she looked at the mist that suddenly rose in the sky.
"Aunt Wenjin, this..." Chen Wenjin also looked confused, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have never heard of this kind of situation happening during clan burials before."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him started making noise again: "Look, there seems to be a figure in the mist!"
"It seems to be true! Could it be that the clan members are really manifesting themselves?"
"Don't make trouble, why is that figure so scary?"
"Is that... the water surface? Or what?"
"No, this can't be a mirage!"
"Mirage? What a coincidence, isn't it? Just in time for our burial, this mirage comes?"
At this time, the mist gradually faded, but the figures in it became increasingly clear.
Since it was dark at night and there was insufficient light, the scene looked a bit dim.
You can vaguely see three black shadows appearing in the mist above the coffin. The middle shadow is smaller, but full of majesty. It is wearing a long robe, making it difficult to see its face.
The two shadows next to the black-robed shadow were extremely huge, standing behind him like two giants, looking down at the people below.
The two black figures have strange figures. The clothes they wear do not seem to belong to this era, but more like the clothes of ancient courtiers. The hats they wear are round pointed hats, which are very unfamiliar.
Opposite their three phantoms, stood ten corpses.
Compared with those two huge figures, these ten corpses appeared much smaller.
If these two black and white shadows can barely be seen, then the images of these ten corpses are as blurry as mosaics.
However, judging from the number, these ten corpses seemed to be the corpses sent back from the nine sects, and one of them was also sent to the Tanzhou City Church. (End of chapter)
