C15 In the King's Tomb(part I)
When the Han sisters heard the news, they rushed over. When they saw Yuan frantically helping Lu Changkong, who was completely charred, they could not help but turn pale with fright. Ying Xue took a few steps forward and asked with concern, "How did Lu get injured like this? Could it be that there was a sneak attack from a monster?"
"There was a demon, a very powerful demon. . . But it has already left. " Lu Changkong vaguely said," I wonder if the two young ladies have finished washing up. I also want to go and sort it out. "
After he finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for the two to reply. He did not notice that Ying Xue had changed the way she addressed him from "Mr. Lu" to "Lu '. Yuan, who had heard the meaning, rolled his eyes at Ying Xue. He took Little Fu to sit on the side of the ship and did not care about the two sisters at all.
Without much effort, Lu Changkong put on his clothes and walked back.
"Master, how are you? . . . ”
"Lu, are you alright?"
Yuan and Ying Xue rushed in front of Lu Changkong at the same time. Their words were also filled with concern, but Lu Changkong only looked at Ying Xue.
The two people who knew each other during the crisis also seriously sized each other up for the first time.
Lu Changkong imitated Feng YI. His white clothes were like snow and his waist was spread out. Although he was not as elegant and elegant as his master, he had an evil and handsome look in his free and easy manner. Combined with his mocking smile, he had a unique charm.
When he first saw Han Ying Xue, she was covered in mud and was in a sorry state. Even the most beautiful woman was covered by mud and the night sky covered her delicate face. Now that she had washed up, she naturally gave off the ethereal temperament of a self-cultivator. It was like a hibiscus emerging from the water under the moonlight, which made her even more ethereal and beautiful.
Lu Changkong was shocked when he saw this. He unexpectedly put down his hands and held them in the air as he cupped his fists.
"Master. . . Master. . . "
"Oh!! Oh!" Lu Changkong knew he had lost his composure. He put down his hands and said, "Thank you for Miss Ying Xue's concern. I am fine now. "
"Master!" Yuan pulled Lu Changkong and said, "We still need to go to the center of the vengeful spirit swamp! Why don't you send those two ladies away first? "
"Oh!" Lu Changkong agreed and said, "I still have some things to do. Why don't you send them off first?"
"The center of the Revenant Swamp?" Ying Jing suddenly ran over and called out. "I want to go too. Lu Changkong, can you take me there?"
"This. . . "
Lu Changkong hesitated for a moment, but he heard Ying Xue say, "If it is convenient for Lu, can you take me to the center of the Revenant Swamp to broaden my horizons?"
After Ying Xue asked this question out of the blue, her face turned red because of her boldness. She blamed herself for being rash. If the other party refused, how should she get off the stage?
"About that!" Lu Changkong wanted to refuse.
Yuan shouted first, "Of course not!" We entered the Specter's Lake to search for the relics of our sect. How can there be an outsider here?"
Ying Jing said angrily, "Little guy, I am talking to your master. How can you speak? Get out of the way! "
Lu Changkong's face darkened. He said coldly: "He is my disciple, and I have the right to teach him a lesson. Miss Han doesn't have the right to say that. Don't forget, this is not your Jade Cave Sect! "
"Sister, don't mess around!" Ying Xue said in a low voice. "Ying Xue was rude. Please forgive me, Lu. "
"There is something wrong with me too!" Lu Changkong said lightly. Shall I send you out? Just treat it as an apology to the two of you!"
"I don't dare to trouble Lu. The relics of Big Brother's sect must be very important. Ying Xue will not disturb you!" Ying Xue only wanted to leave this awkward place as soon as possible. Her tone also carried some dissatisfaction towards Lu Changkong.
Of course, Lu Changkong could also hear that trace of dissatisfaction, but why did he have to apologize to the person who berated his disciple? Immediately, he cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me for not being able to see you off. We'll meet again in the future. "
Ying Xue was stunned at first, then she gritted her teeth with hatred. Her Han Ying Xue family was prominent and she was proud of her beauty. Which young disciple would not be very attentive to her when they saw her? This Lu Changkong clearly looked at her in a daze just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was so cold to her. This was extremely detestable.
"Goodbye!" Ying Xue faintly said goodbye, and carried the fluorescent sword to fly away.
Lu Changkong turned around and said, "Let's go too!"
Yuan pouted and pointed in the direction unhappily. He scolded in a low voice, "Vixen!"
Lu Changkong smiled and said, "Now that everyone is gone, your master has gotten back the grievances for you! Don't pout. "
"Hehe!" Yuan chuckled. "You won't blame me for chasing away my master's beauty, right?"
"The Han sisters are indeed beautiful. But I'm not someone who forgets his surname after seeing a woman. " Lu Changkong said seriously, "I will settle my old score with the Maoshan Sect sooner or later. At that time, it is still unknown whether I will become the Jade Cave Sect's enemy. My revenge has yet to be avenged, and my hatred has yet to disappear. Do you think I will miss my beauty? "
"I don't think so!" Yuan underestimated him and urged again, "Hurry up and leave! In the center of the Specter's Lake. There's still a long way to go!"
"Un! Do you know what's in the center of the vengeful spirit swamp?"
Lu Changkong adjusted his direction and threw the Han sisters' matter to the back of his mind.
"It seems to be the King's Tomb. Master said that there are many demons in the vicinity of the King's Tomb. Many cultivators who were exploring the area have gone missing. You really want to go? "
Lu Changkong thought for a moment and said, "We don't need to take the treasure boat. Let's walk in. "
"Walk? Are you crazy!? What if you meet a demon? Can you outrun a demon?" Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Changkong as if he was looking at a demon. He shook his head like a rattle drum.
"You already said that the area around the tomb is filled with demons. If we fly over there, won't we be used as targets for demons?" Lu Changkong saw Yuan clutching his head and squatting on the ground. He was so angry that he didn't care about his master's image. He grabbed Yuan's ear and dragged him off the treasured boat.
A few days later, a tall mountain appeared in front of Lu Changkong's eyes. There were gardens in the mountains and pavilions surrounding it. Thousands of stone men lined up along the mountain path. Some of them were holding a lid, some were holding a golden cucumber scepter, and some were holding a treasured tree. An emperor stone statue sat on the altar at the top of the mountain. There were hundreds of officials lined up in front of it, and the servants stood behind it.
"This is the tomb of the king?" Lu Changkong could not help but sigh, "What an imposing manner of an emperor. It is even grander than the tomb of the king of the Tang Dynasty!"
While he was sighing, Yuan had already shouted in a low voice, "Master, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!"
" Ghost? Where is it?"
"Those stone statues opened their eyes just now!"
Lu Changkong looked in the direction Yuan was pointing at for a long time. He raised his hand and gave Yuan a hard knock. Lu Changkong scolded him with a smile. "I think you want to see a ghost. You must be crazy. The stone statue does not open its eyes. Do you want those ministers to close their eyes and worship the Emperor? Hurry up and leave! "
"I don't. . . " Yuan pulled Lu Changkong's hand and sat down on the ground.
"There are snakes on the ground!"
"Ah!" Yuan seemed to have installed a spring on his butt. He jumped high and grabbed Lu Changkong's hand and shouted, "Where is it? Where is it? "
"It's here!" Lu Changkong was shocked again. "If you keep shouting, you will attract a thousand-year-old demon. Hurry up and leave!"
"If you want to leave, then leave! Why did you hit me?!"
Lu Changkong was just about to tease his cute little disciple again when he suddenly heard the sharp sound of a flying sword piercing through the air. His first reaction was to cover his disciple's mouth, hug him, and roll into the grass by the roadside. Only then did he look in the direction of the sound.
He saw dozens of cultivators carrying luggage, controlling the flying sword, and speeding towards the King Sealing Tomb with their backs. Waiting for them to leave. Not long after, the second and third batches of self-cultivators came out from the entrance to the northwest corner of the King's Tomb, leaving in an orderly manner with many items.
When they were far away, Lu Changkong smiled proudly as if he had just found a treasure. "Just as I was about to sleep, someone gave me a pillow. Those cultivators gave up on the King's Tomb and left me a place to cultivate. Come, let's go in and take a look. If the place is big enough, I'll drive the treasured boat over as well. "
" How do you know they gave up on the King's Tomb? What if they went out to visit for the time being? " Yuan was not as optimistic as Lu Changkong.
"Join your head!" Lu Changkong pointed at the open tomb door and scolded, "Do you have a brain? Did you bring any luggage when you went out to visit? Did you not close the door before you left? They clearly gave up on the training hall. "
Lu Changkong dragged Yuan into the tomb. Just as he stepped into the tomb with his left foot, the eyes of the stone statue king on the mountain suddenly opened. Red light shot out from his eyes. Thousands of stone men turned around at the same time and turned to Lu Changkong and his disciple. When Yuan realized something was wrong and looked up, they closed their eyes in an instant and returned to their original state.
The interior of the tomb was much bigger than Lu Changkong had imagined, but what made Lu Changkong feel uneasy was. . . Why wasn't there an item buried with him in such a grand tomb? When he stepped into the tomb, he found himself in a spacious square. Not to mention entering the tomb with the treasure boat. . . Even pulling a force of two thousand Imperial Army soldiers to train in the tomb was more than enough. In particular, the platform in the center of the square was clearly a general stage used on the drill ground. Even the command token and flag were ready.
Lu Changkong took a few steps onto the general's point platform and raised his head to look up. The first thing he saw was the nine dragon-shaped reliefs on the top of the tomb, surrounded by eight dragons in eight directions. The dragon head was facing the general's platform, and the dragon's eyes were shining. The wind and lightning in the dragon's mouth seemed to be ready to strike Lu Changkong into powder at any time. It was also because it was afraid of something that it didn't move.
Suddenly, alarm bells rang in the tomb. Countless soldiers rushed out from the platform from all directions. The swords, spears, and crossbows in their hands pointed coldly at Lu Changkong and his disciple. What was worse was that the dozens of cultivators behind the soldiers flew up on their swords and surrounded the platform like iron barrels.
Not long after, one of them wore a bright yellow robe. A middle-aged man wearing a robe and a jade belt and a white, beardless man with a veil on his head. . . A tall old man wearing a blue robe walked side by side. They saw that wherever they went, the army would make way for them and greet them respectfully. It was obvious that these two people had illustrious identities and were definitely not ordinary people. If. . . Lu Changkong knew that one of them was Southern Guarding Prince, Zhu Heng, and the other was the chief steward of the inner palace, Hsiao Yuhan, Eunuch Hsiao. He didn't know how shocked he would be.
The two of them walked to the podium and looked at each other in surprise. Eunuch Hsiao opened his mouth and said: "Who are you?"
"Passerby, passerby. . . " Lu Changkong said half-heartedly, "We were just curious. We came in to take a look. Sorry to bother you. Sorry to bother you. "
"Nonsense, take him down!"
Southern Guarding Prince gave the order, and a cultivator put away his sword. The sword light that was 30 meters long slashed between Lu Changkong and Yuan. Lu Changkong pushed Yuan away and was slightly slower. Yuan's arm was cut by the sword wind, and blood splashed all over Lu Changkong's body.
Although Lu Changkong's heart was in pain, he couldn't take the flying sword head-on. After the sword wind, he flew five feet to the side. As soon as he stabilized his balance, the nine heavenly dragons on the top of the tomb turned their heads at the same time and attacked Lu Changkong with their wind and thunder.
"Damn it!" Lu Changkong cursed. He turned his body nine times in a row and was about to choose an advantageous position to avoid the stone dragon's attack when he saw the wind and lightning suddenly turn and strike the crowd. More than a hundred soldiers immediately exploded into pieces of flesh and blood. Broken limbs were swept into the air, and the blood and flesh splattered and dyed half of the King's Tomb red.
Lu Changkong didn't have the time to think about why Wind and Thunder would suddenly turn around. After escaping from death, he was about to release Spiritual Corpse warriors to defend himself when the soldiers on the other side had already placed their weapons on Yuan's neck.
Lu Changkong saw that the situation wasn't good and calmed down instead. He said in a deep voice, "Let go of my disciple. If you want to kill, come at me alone. "
"You have guts!" Eunuch Hsiao sneered and said, "But father-in-law will tell you this clearly. Neither of you can leave this place. Do you want to surrender or do you want me to take you down?"
Lu Changkong knew that even if Yuan wasn't under his control, he wouldn't be able to rush out. He held his head with both hands, closed his eyes and said nothing, indicating that he wouldn't resist anymore.
Southern Guarding Prince smiled and said, "Knowing the situation, a man who knows when to yield is a man. "
"Master! Run! Run. . . " Yuan cried," Yuan has implicated Master. . . Yuan is not good. . . Wah. . . "
Lu Changkong heard Yuan's cries getting further and further away, and knew that he had been taken away by someone. He still closed his eyes and did not speak, quietly waiting for the next words.
Eunuch Hsiao sneered and said, "Come on! Tie him up and throw him into the dungeon. He will eat good food and wait. Don't make our guest feel wronged. "
Southern Guarding Prince also said, "You have to treat him well. Don't be rude. "
A few soldiers agreed and walked forward. They took out special torture instruments and tied Lu Changkong up tightly. They dragged him into the dungeon.
