Qin Lang had already subdued Elder Elephant. At that moment, footsteps could be heard in the sewers again. It was obvious that more people were coming in to kill the monsters.
Qin Lang knew it was time to leave.
"Elephant Elephant, you've been here for decades. Has no one discovered you?" Qin Lang asked.
"I've been here all this time, but I don't remember many things. My thoughts have been suppressed by the puppet worms," Elder Elephant Elephant said. "However, I have a vague feeling that the place I used to stay isn't far from here."
"Hmm … It seems like your hiding place is nearby, but where is it?" Qin Lang blew the bug flute and summoned the Mountain-Drilling Rat back. The Mountain-Drilling Rat was still a little afraid when it saw Elder Elephant Elephant, so it quickly hid behind Qin Lang.
Qin Lang used the bug flute to order the Mountain-Drilling Rat to look for secret caves nearby. After all, digging caves was the Mountain-Drilling Rat's specialty. Sure enough, the Mountain-Drilling Rat would arrive in a minute or so, and judging from how excited it was, it seemed to have discovered something.
Qin Lang followed the Mountain Drilling Mouse through an abandoned sewer. This sewer was very old, and it was actually made of stone. It was covered in moss, and it looked like it had been around for at least a hundred years. Qin Lang wondered when this sewer had been built. However, this sewer should be abandoned, and it should be a "dead end". However, Qin Lang knew that the Mountain-Drilling Rat wouldn't lead him to a dead end for no reason. Therefore, Qin Lang continued to follow it, and Elder Elephant Elephant followed behind Qin Lang.
After walking for about ten minutes, Qin Lang reached the end of the tunnel.
It was indeed a 'dead end.' The front was blocked by a stone wall. However, upon closer inspection, there was a hole at the bottom of the stone wall that was just big enough for a person's head to squeeze through.
"Hmm … It seems like this is where you used to live," Qin Lang said with a nod.
Although the hole wasn't big, with Monk Jianxiang's skinny body and martial arts cultivation, as long as his head could pass through and his muscles and bones contracted, he would be able to squeeze through. However, it was a little unbearable for Qin Lang. Qin Lang didn't have the ability to break the clavicle, so he could only let Monk Elephant Seeing Monk expand the hole a little before entering.
Of course, Qin Lang let Jian Xiang walk in front. He didn't want to be harmed by any mechanisms or traps the moment he entered.
However, there were no traps in this place. After entering the stone wall, there was only a deep pit. It looked more like a graveyard. Looking at the size of the grave, it should be the grave of a small noble family. A grave of several hundred square meters was indeed not considered a big noble family.
After confirming that it was a grave, Qin Lang wondered if there would be any antiques here. After all, Qin Lang was also a fan of grave robbing novels. Therefore, when he entered the grave, his first thought was antiques. Although he wasn't short of money, he felt that entering a grave to obtain antiques and treasures was always a good thing.
However, Qin Lang was destined to be disappointed because the grave had clearly been robbed. There were no antiques here, and even the coffin had been turned into wooden planks. All that was left was a pile of bones.
No, it wasn't a pile, but three piles!
One of the piles was very close to the wooden planks of the coffin. It should be the bones of the grave owner. The other two piles were distributed at the corners of the grave. There was even a pile of bones that still maintained a sitting posture.
"I … I remember now." Seeing the two piles of bones, Jian Xiang seemed to recall many things. He pointed to the bones that maintained a sitting posture and said, "That's my enemy. His name is Tianlong Monk, a demon monk. Back then, he was one of the rumored '13 Demons of the Western Region' in the pugilistic world."
"13 Demons of the Western Region? I've never heard of it. " Qin Lang murmured, but then he remembered that it was decades ago. Naturally, he didn't know what the pugilistic world was like back then. However, the 13 Demons of the Western Region might have been famous in the pugilistic world back then.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, master. This guy was my old enemy. He sneaked up on me while I was passing on my skills. He also inserted a puppet worm into my body to deal with me. However, when he refined me into a puppet, he didn't expect my body's potential to be stimulated. At the critical moment, I actually broke through the Martial Man level and reached the 'Xuan' level. I also gave him a full blow. The Tianlong Demon Monk died on the spot, but I also became a mindless walking corpse until master appeared. "
The Elephant Monk explained and then pointed to another pile of bones. "That's the person I was going to impart my cultivation technique to back then. I thought I would be safe and sound if I hid in the tomb and imparted my cultivation technique. I didn't expect this Sky Dragon Demon Monk to come to me. However, even though he was my eternal rival, he's just a pile of bones now. All grudges will naturally vanish like smoke in thin air. "
Qin Lang walked to the side of the Tianlong Demon Monk. Seeing this pile of bones, Qin Lang had a strange feeling. It seemed that the owner of this pile of bones had some connection with Poisons. This was because Qin Lang knew that Poisons's method of refining poison slaves was very secretive. Almost only true disciples could be taught. Puppet worms were also not something that ordinary people could keep.
In other words, this Tianlong Demon Monk should have some connection with Poisons.
Demon monk, it had to be a demon monk. Qin Lang saw that although this demon monk also had a string of beads hanging around his neck, these beads were not Buddhist beads. Each bead was carved with an evil god, Asura, or devil. Furthermore, each statue was very ferocious, terrifying, and filled with evil energy. It seemed that this person was called a "demon monk" for a reason.
However, since this Demon Monk might have some connection with Poisons, Qin Lang also took this string of "Buddhist beads". When he met the Old Poison, he would let him take a look at it. Perhaps he could find some clues from it.
Apart from this string of Buddhist beads, this Tianlong Demon Monk left nothing behind. There were no treasures, no secret manuals, and no antiques.
However, apart from the bones of the three people, there were some scattered bones in this tomb. These bones were not human bones, but the bones of some snakes and rats. As long as it was a snake. This was because after Jianxiang became a Poison Man, he had an instinctive desire for poisonous insects. Even if he had no interest in it, under the command of the Puppet Worm, he would eat poisonous insects. This was because the Puppet Worm did not want to starve to death. However, the Puppet Worm could not eat directly, so it could only absorb nutrients from its host. Naturally, it would order Jianxiang to catch snakes and insects to eat. When there were no snakes, it could only fill its stomach with rats.
In the past, this tomb should have been sealed, so there weren't many snakes and rats that came in. The puppet worms didn't dare to leave this place because they didn't have a master to command them. As a result, they stayed in this sealed tomb for decades, almost becoming old monsters.
