C68 A fortuitous encounter in the tomb (I)

As time passed, the sun gradually faded into the mountains, and the sky was dyed red with the sunset glow. At this time, outside of Qu Yuan's tomb, Zhang Jiming and Yang Zongbao, Su San Xiao and Chen Shaofeng, as well as Qiu Shiyuan were anxiously searching for the mechanism to open the stone door. But as time passed, their hearts became heavier and more hopeless.

At this time, the Su San Xiao spoke to everyone, "Let's use our Qi to see if we can break open the stone door of the tomb." Hearing that, everyone nodded their heads to indicate that this method was feasible, and then stood in a straight line with their faces looking at the big stone door of Qu Yuan's grave.

Everyone slowly raised their hands at the same time, gathering all the true energy within their bodies into their palms. With a light shout, they pushed out their palms at the same time, and instantly, an extremely strong gale surged out, sweeping towards the large stone door. With a muffled sound, a powerful palm instantly struck the huge stone door, and wave after wave of energy swept over like a tidal wave. However, the entire Qu Yuan's grave only shook a few times, before returning to normal.

Everyone was shocked, they never thought that Qu Yuan's grave would have such a strong defensive power, they truly admired the master who designed Qu Yuan's grave, and were extremely disappointed. At this time, the true qi wave that was swept away like a tidal wave suddenly bounced back from the powerful impact, causing everyone to retreat several steps, the inner Qi in their bodies was in chaos.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Yang Zongbao sighed lightly and said to everyone: "It seems this won't work. Why don't we go back and notify Wu Die first before we make our plans?"

The Su San Xiao nodded his head: "This is good too, it's just that we still need to keep people on guard, in case the evil person comes again to make trouble."

Zhang Jiming said: "Since it's like this, then let's split up and guard this place. Then, we can think of a way to open this large stone door."

Qiu Shiyuan, who had been standing by the side all this time, immediately said: "Then, I'll stay."

After that, Chen Shaofengyuchenjianbing and his brother also expressed their wish to stay. As for Zhang Jiming, how could Su Sanshaoyuyangzongbao not be like that, it was just that they needed to go back to recuperate and prepare for the day's protection, and after some discussion, Zhang Jiming and the others sped up their pace and rushed back to the town, while Chen Shaofeng and the other two hid in the shadows after their division of work, observing their surroundings from time to time.

And at this time, Shao Jian who was inside the dark tomb was extremely anxious, just now, Zhang Jiming and the others' attack on him caused the entire tomb to shake slightly, and now, in the pitch black darkness, Shao Jian was carefully exploring along the ice stone walls, hoping to find the mechanism to open the stone door as soon as possible. As time passed, no one knew how much time had passed, but Shao Jian slowly started to get used to the darkness, and he only saw a long and narrow tunnel ahead.

Taking a deep breath, Shao Jian raised his guard and slowly walked towards the direction of the tunnel. From time to time, he would stop to listen for movements in his surroundings. Suddenly, kacha! A clear sound came from beneath his feet, as though he had stepped on something bamboo. This clear sound was extremely ear-piercing in this quiet and dark tomb, causing Shao Jian's heart to tighten, he gently took a step back, with his back against the wall, and a moment later, seeing no other movement, he crouched down, picked up a broken bamboo arrow from the ground, and at the side, he could faintly see a large pile of similar broken arrows.

Shao Jian thought to himself that since this was the case, there were many mechanisms in Qu Yuan's tomb, it must not be simple, I need to leave more, and then continue to explore, and after walking a while, the tunnel ahead became more spacious.

Suddenly, Shao Jian felt the stone tile in his hand sink inwards, his body slanted, and he almost knocked into the wall, following that, he heard a burst of whooshing sound! "Whiz!" "Whiz!" The sound of a mechanism firing rang out. Clang! With a clear sound, Shao Jian anxiously pulled the black iron sword out of its scabbard, and it started to dance wildly around his body. The clanging sounds of weapons clashing could be heard, and sparks would appear from time to time in the darkness, and after a while, when the mechanism was finished firing, everything became calm again, as though nothing had happened. In the quiet and dark tomb chamber, only Shao Jian could be heard breathing anxiously.

Stopping at his original spot for a moment, Shao Jian once again took his sword and walked forward, the light inside gradually became clearer, and not far away, he could vaguely see an open stone door, and the light was coming from there.

Shao Jian's heart trembled, could there still be someone here? As he got closer, he saw a bright light in front of him. On the other side of the door was a large tomb with a desk and a stone bed, but it was a messy scene. The books that were supposed to be neatly placed on the desk were scattered all over the place, as if someone was rummaging through the boxes here for something.

Shao Jian held onto the black iron sword in hand tightly, he then stepped into the tomb, and carefully checked the inside but did not find any traces of people. However, the inner side of the tomb chamber also had a large stone door that was tightly shut. Judging from its appearance, it seemed that no one had opened it before.

Observing the tomb once, Shao Jian thought that this place was probably built by someone like the room that Qu Yuan lived in. He looked down at the books on the ground and could not help but sigh, thinking: "I never thought that when Doctor Qu Yuan was alive, he was in an era of war and wars, with nothing to learn or use, in the end, he fell into the river and died without being able to find peace, and was even harassed by the man of the jianghu. Sigh, Shao Jian squatted down and picked up the books one by one and placed them on the desk again.

Just then, a small embroidered box that was the size of a palm caught Shao Jian's attention. From the outside, it seemed to be made from a very noble material, but after examining it, he opened the lid of the box. The inside of the box was actually empty.

Shao Jian said in confusion: "What is the purpose of such a gorgeous, empty box placed here? If there was something inside, could it be that it was stolen by the mysterious expert from before? What kind of treasure is this, to be able to make that person come and steal it despite the danger? "

Closing the lid of the embroidered box once again, Shao Jian stood up and stared at the tightly shut stone door. In his heart, he was filled with curiosity towards the things behind the stone door, and let out a slight sigh, and let out a bitter laugh, thinking: "Humans are just so strange, once they become curious about something new, they would have a desire, and once they have a desire, they will think of all kinds of ways to obtain it, regardless of whether it is a saint, or a gentleman;

Shao Jian thought that he shouldn't open this stone door. After countless battles in his heart, he finally could not resist the temptation, wanting to see what secrets were hidden inside the stone door. His eyes quickly scanned the room and found that there was a completely different stone brick on the wall near the stone door. He walked over and knocked on the wall with his hand. Dong! The sound indicated that it was empty. Then, he gently pressed on the wall and the stone brick automatically sank into the wall. A mechanism appeared in the original position of the stone brick.

He was secretly happy in his heart, Shao Jian immediately extended his hand to grab the mechanism and turned it gently according to the direction of the hand, with a 'boom' sound, the stone door was opened in a flash, and looking inside, the scene inside made Shao Jian extremely shocked, his eyes widened, and his face filled with disbelief.

Just then, a ray of black yellow light shot out from inside the stone door, the intense light rays pierced Shao Jian's eyes with both of his hands, afraid that the dazzling light would hurt his eyes, causing him to be unable to see anything, only a piece of the black yellow ocean. After a while, the black yellow light slowly faded.

This was the first time Shao Jian had seen such a scene. Plop! He jumped quickly, as though he was about to break out, and quickly used the unique mental cultivation method of the Daoist Sect to suppress his excessively excited emotions, until his mind was at peace, Shao Jian exhaled a long breath of impure Qi to alleviate the chaos in his body.

At this moment, the dark yellow light inside the stone door had already turned into a faint light yellow color. It was possible to vaguely see the general situation inside. After hesitating for a moment, Shao Jian carefully walked in, only to see that the tomb chamber was much larger than the one before.

Suddenly, bang! With a dull thud, Shao Jian turned around. The stone door which connected the two tomb rooms had already closed automatically, and he thought to himself: This is bad, the stone door actually closed itself.

"Whatever, we're already out of here. The big stone door at the entrance still can't be opened. Why don't we rest for a bit before thinking of a way out?" At this time, the faint yellow light in the tomb chamber had already faded away. No one knew where it came from or where it had disappeared to. Shao Jian immediately turned around, and suddenly, he saw his entire body shivering, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Following his line of sight, he saw that about ten meters in front of him, there was a platform that was carved from white jade and it was around the size of a tea table. On the white jade chair, sat an old man wearing a long white robe, with a beard that had turned snow-white, and an expressionless face.

Shao Jian was frightened by his stare and quickly bowed, then said: "Junior Shao Jian, had accidentally entered this place, and I hope senior will forgive me for disturbing you." Seeing that the other party did not react, and still did not react, Shao Jian could not help but raise his head and look at the old man, who was still sitting in the same posture as before. Out of courtesy, he repeated what he had shouted three times, but still did not respond, which was strange, Shao Jian thought: "Could it be that it's because I intruded and disturbed him, that senior is unwilling to answer me? Or did he think it was unwise to speak to a junior like me? " Thinking of this, Shao Jian could not help but laugh helplessly.

"It's fine if you don't answer my question, but if you want to chase me away, then so be it. Since I can't get out by myself, I might as well let you send me off." Thinking up to here, he only saw Shao Jian holding the black iron sword in hand tightly in front of his chest, and slowly walking towards the old man. When he was still three meters away from the old man, Shao Jian felt a huge invisible suction force coming from the side, causing the black iron sword in hand and the sword sheath to tremble violently, and was about to throw away his hands and fly away.

Unexpectedly, the more he circulated the True Qi in his body, the stronger the suction force became. Suddenly, the black iron sword and the sword sheath trembled violently, but they still flew out of his hands. With a sound, it was tightly pressed against the wall. Shao Jian's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly stopped and looked straight at the old man who was only a few meters away.

At this time, something that made Shao Jian even more shocked happened. A layer of faint yellow light suddenly appeared around the old man's body, and with a breath, the light yellow light expanded to its largest extent, immediately revealing the dazzling dark yellow light from before. The entire tomb was once again submerged in a dark yellow sea, and at this moment, Shao Jian finally understood where the light was coming from. Suddenly, the 'Xuanyuan sword' behind him trembled slightly, as if it was suppressed by the beautiful dark yellow light.

A tearing sound came out, the 'Xuanyuan sword' suddenly trembled, following that, Shao Jian felt the weight of the 'Xuanyuan sword' on his back become lighter, and it actually flew up automatically, floating in the air, the word 'Xuanyuan' on the sword hilt released a faint gold light, and the two words' Yellow Emperor 'and the life-like divine dragon on the sword sheath were enveloped by a layer of golden halo. The old man's dark yellow body seemed to sense the great power contained within the Xuanyuan sword and the light grew even brighter.

And at that moment, the 'Xuanyuan sword' above Shao Jian's head slowly slid out half an inch from the sword sheath, and rays of dazzling golden light flew out, following closely behind. Clang! With a clear sound, the 'Xuanyuan sword' was unsheathed, and countless golden rays of light rushed out into the tomb chamber, suppressing the dark yellow light.

At this time, Shao Jian's heart was like a surging tide, excited beyond compare. He extended his hand and grabbed the 'Xuanyuan sword' in his hand, the divine sword released a wave of light 'buzzing sound'. After that, it became quiet. Shao Jian held onto the divine sword, and the corners of his mouth raised into a faint smile. At the same time, the old man's body emitted a yellow light that seemed to be forced by the Xuanyuan sword's aura, which gradually dimmed down, and finally disappeared into the old man's robes. After a while, the 'Xuanyuan sword' kept its light aura, and Shao Jian immediately sheathed her sword, walking forward with the divine sword in his hand, crossing the coffee table in front of him. After that, he sized up the old man carefully, and the old man in front of him seemed to not know anything about Shao Jian.
