“I hope this time it can be completely solved,” Miao Sanding said .
“I hope so too . I have stayed here long enough, and I am scared . ” Liu Sifang lit a cigarette .
“Didn’t you quit that?” Miao Sanding asked .
“You know me,” Liu Sifang said . “Whenever I feel nervous, I want to smoke . ”
“You don’t have to be here with me,” Miao Sanding said .
“Don’t say that . We are brothers,” Liu Sifang replied . “It’s just like you said, I hope it can go smoothly so we get rid of the trouble completely . Who do you think is in the tomb . Didn’t you say whoever is in there is over 400 years, full of resentment, and strong?”
“Why are you asking me?” Miao Sanding asked “You are the archaeologist . ”
“I have only been an archaeologist less than half a year, so I don’t know,” Liu Sifang said . “I am not an expert yet . I haven’t seen anything in it, so I can’t figure out the identity of the tomb’s owner . ”
“I guess they should go into the shed,” Mia Sanding said .
Outside the shed, the other group was looking around .
“Be careful and act according to the plan we negotiated in advance,” the older Taoist priest said .
“Yes, Master,” a younger priest replied .
“Yes, Uncle,” Zhang Siheng said .
“You can rest assured that, as I said before, I will not cause any trouble to you,” Wang Yao said . “I will just watch it quietly . ”
The Taoist priests divided into two groups . One group was to stay on top while the other went inside the grave . Wang Yao stayed behind at the top .
“Is there something wrong?” he asked .
“They went to the grave, but everything should be alright,” a young Taoist said .
Wang Yao didn’t say anything .
“As a layman you have no idea, yet you want to go into the tomb,” the young Taoist said . “Do you mean to cause trouble?”
Behind the tomb, the stone tomb door was still covered with paper . It had already yellowed and looked like it had been burned .
The tomb door was difficult to open from the outside, but it was obvious that it was not the first time the two older priests had encountered such a situation . The skinnier priest pushed the door open after exclaiming, “Open!”
The Taoist priests on Longhu Mountain were not like those depicted on TV . These were real Taoists . They didn’t just shake bells and read spells . They worked hard, understood Taoism, and practiced . They inherited a routine passed down for hundreds of years, which could not be imagined by ordinary people . There were very few people like them .
Once the door was open, the two priests when inside . The tomb was very dark . Through the open door, Wang Yao could see the path inside . Unlike the paths outside, which were plain and straight, the inner path meandered downhill .
“I will go down and take a look,” Wang Yao said .
The Taoist next to him tried to stop him, but Wang Yao was already beside the door . The priests were shocked . They knew it was trouble but such a matter was out of their expectations .
“Brother?” a young priest asked .
“Don’t worry about him,” another priest replied . “Don’t break the rules . ”
Wang Yao went to the tomb .
“Hey, how did you get in?” Zhang Siheng asked .
“I came in to take a look,” Wang Yao replied . “Relax, I am fine . ”
He had released some neixi to form a defense around his body like a wall . It was just like the nameless sweeping old man in the novel .
“This is?!” Zhang Siheng was shocked . “It’s the most authentic congenital Qi!”
It was no wonder Wang Yao dared to take the initiative to go up the mountain and enter the tomb . Under that Qi protection, he could not be invaded .
The priests continued to move forward . They no longer looked after Wang Yao . They knew he had the ability to handle the situation . The things in the tomb were terrible but could not be close to him . He had an authentic, mysterious skill like the golden body of Buddhism .
The tomb was very cold, like an ice building . After going down about 32 feet, they encountered another door . This tomb was already open . Inside was a statue of the Buddha King Kong, which had been broken . The crack spread out like was like a spider web . .
“How did he open these two stone gates?” Wang Yao was very curious .
The stone door was about 4 inches thick . The weight of the statue had to be close to 1,000 pounds . Even the strongest man might not be able to push it open, not to mention intangible ghosts .
“Be careful,” Zhang Siheng said .
He was holding a demon sword, and the other was holding a bronze mirror . Both of them were holding a lamp with the unknown burning fuel
A low voice sounded from the grave behind the tomb . “Go . ”
The group entered the tomb, which was shaped like a semicircle and surrounded by statues . They were the 18 arhats of Buddhism . They were all the size of a real person . The arhats were all cracked . Some of the heads had even dropped onto the floor . There was a stone coffin in the middle that was open .
“Has he risen from the dead?” Wang Yao asked . He looked up at the top of the tomb, which had circular arc-shaped dome with a vulgar sculpture . “With so many King Kong arhats, who is this person?”
A figure suddenly appeared and went straight toward Zhang Siheng, who was holding the demon sword . The weapon emitted a golden light . The figure turned back and flew out .
The old priest took out the bronze mirror . A ray of light shot out, making a loud noise .
Wang Yao, who was behind them, sighed . It was not less thrilling than in movies .
In the cave, the chilly atmosphere was getting heavier . The bells hanging on the two old Taoists’ waist kept ringing .
“Over there!” Wang Yao reached out and pointed .
The bronze mirror held by the old Taoist was immediately turned over . A beam of light shot out, illuminating a black shadow .
The figure was that of a Taoist . He wore a robe, but his face was dark and scary . His eyes were red . He was laughing .
The bronze mirror trembled, and the light disappeared .
“Over there!” Wang Yao pointed in a different direction .
A beam of light shot and once again illuminated the Taoist figure . Zhang Siheng rushed over with sword from several feet away . He arrived quickly and cut the figure at once .
With a strange shout, the Taoist figure screamed and escaped again .
“Is that all what you can do?” Wang Yao suddenly punched into the air . The black shadow was blown out and fell heavily on the wall .
The bronze mirror in the hand of the priest was thrown out . It hit the figure, causing the figure to fall to the ground .
Zhang Siheng quickly stepped forward . He penetrated the demon sword into the figure without hesitation, knowing that the being might be a disciple of the mountain .
“This is over, isn’t it?” he asked .
There were suddenly more noises . They were coming from the stone coffin .
The three men looked back and around . They saw a man sitting on the stone coffin wearing armor .
“No! He’s risen from the dead!” Wang Yao sighed, even though he was not afraid .
Until now, he had never seen such things . He realized that those plots depicted movies and novels were not necessarily deceptive .
The arhats statues on both sides became fragmented one by one . The bells of the two old Taoist were ringing particularly irritatingly, seemingly reminding them to leave .
Zhang Siheng’s facial expression changed . “His body is not rotted!”
The bronze mirror flew out and hit the monster . He fell down with a bang, but he slowly sat up again .
What the hell is this? Wang Yao walked a few steps forward and saw its face . The being was like a dry corpse . Its skin was wrinkled and extraordinarily scary .
“Why can it still move?” he asked . It not only moved, but it also stood up to move . “Zombie?”
“Be careful!” Zhang Siheng shouted .
The being suddenly attacked Wang Yao, who was closest to it, with unfathomable speed .
