Chu Menglin was furious. He raised his hand and was about to slap the youth twice when the wall in front of them collapsed from the top. A large chunk of earth fell down like a city wall, revealing a path for people to pass through. However, the wall above their heads was undamaged. Chu Menglin's anger immediately dissipated. He praised, "Not bad. You really have some skill!" The youth didn't reply. He put on a calm smile and was the first to enter.
Since they had found the correct turning point, the rest of the terrain was exactly the same as the diagram. If the diagram had many twists and turns, the real world would also have many twists and turns. If the diagram had three forks in the road, the real world would also have three forks. Every time they walked a certain distance, they would see some precious jade objects scattered on the ground. Normally, it wouldn't be strange for the royal mausoleum to have large amounts of gold and silver buried with it. It was because of this that a group of people would take the risk to enter the royal mausoleum and steal the artifacts to sell for money. However, most of the treasures were stored in the halls of the underworld. It was unheard of for them to be casually scattered like this. The three of them were cautious and didn't touch anything.
In the blink of an eye, they had already walked more than half of the path on the first piece of wood. This journey focused on the complexity of the path and didn't have any other traps. However, the path was truly too complicated. Although there was a diagram to refer to, Chu Menglin still had to constantly point out the areas on the diagram. He had to follow the actual path and carefully move his finger. Otherwise, he would be in danger of getting lost. He secretly admired Mu Qingyan, who had built this royal mausoleum. He thought to himself, "Senior Mu is truly amazing. I can't say that she's a genius, but she's a genius, a strange genius. She dug out such a complicated mausoleum underground. Of course, it can't be seen from the surface, but she was able to draw a clear plan. Most importantly, she was able to combine the different arrangements of the silk and broken lines into one. The different divisions of the dots on the top just happened to form a short piece of paper. How meticulous was the calculation of the angles? "
After turning another corner, the three of them suddenly saw a skeleton half-leaning in the corner. It was obvious that the skeleton had been dead for a long time. Its body had completely decomposed into white bones, but there were still two skeletal arms in front of its body, holding a jade bowl. The youth sighed, "This must be one of the seniors who entered earlier. Alas, he died here, but I can still move forward. It seems that my skills are not the worst in the Door of Looting after all. "
Chu Menglin said disdainfully, "What are you so proud of? Maybe he's too old, and has already exhausted his Essence Qi, and can't hold on any longer. "
The young man nodded. "Hmm, that makes sense," he said, "He died of old age in good health, which shows that Mojin Men's disciples all died of old age, unlike those lawless disciples of the Devil Cult, who all met with unexpected misfortune and died." Without waiting for him to finish, he nimbly leaped forward. Chu Menglin's attack hit empty air. The young man tried to pull the jade bowl, but the skeletal arm gripped it tightly. He pulled it a few times, and in the end, he used all his strength. Although the bowl was pulled out, the skeletal fingers broke one by one and fell to the ground.
The young man smacked his tongue and said, "This sound is really crisp. I wonder if when the little girl's neck breaks, it will make the same 'crack' sound." Chu Menglin angrily said, "You are snatching a bowl from a dead person, you are really shameless!" The young man laughed and said, "You don't know, I snatched this bowl because I wanted to give it to you. When the time comes, you can use it to eat, using the bowl as your mouth, as if this senior is personally feeding you … "Chu Menglin was furious." Don't go too far! "he shouted. Pushing him aside, he rushed forward.
The young man put down the bowl and called out in confusion, "Hey, I don't have telepathy with you. If you take the blueprint, I won't know where to go. I'll turn around several times and die of old age inside. White-haired old man will chase after you … "Suddenly there was a flash of silver light, a sharp sword was pressed against his throat. Chu Menglin angrily shouted," Watch your mouth! If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe I won't kill you with one sword strike? "
The young man was scared out of his wits; he hastily said, "If you have something to say, let's talk it over. You won't kill me with one sword strike … Ah, what I mean is, Heroine's martial art is superior, you only need half a sword strike to kill me … No, no, your swordsmanship is divine, you don't need a sword to kill people. You don't need a sword, you don't need a sword. Therefore, quickly put your sword down, don't disgrace your family's reputation. "
"Humph," Chu Menglin coldly snorted and pulled his sword back. The young man let out a long breath; he thought, "What kind of sword is that? Unexpectedly it is imperceptibly emitting some kind of powerful pressure, reflecting the brightness of the tomb path. It is indeed a good sword! Just now I was scared to death by this little girl, this is also called making a fool of myself. " He rubbed his throat and wiped his sweat. He turned his head to Dodo and said, "Daren, please treat her better. Otherwise, this resentful woman who is usually gentle and considerate to you will vent her anger on me."
Chu Menglin turned around and shouted, "Your mouth is filthy, what nonsense are you talking about?" The young man smiled apologetically and said, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, I'm sincerely asking your husband to treat you better, I'm not talking nonsense." Chu Menglin's charming face turned red, and she quickly walked away. The young man also hurriedly chased after her, constantly saying good things in her ear.
This time, Chu Menglin seemed to be really angry. The young man thought left and right, but he couldn't figure out which sentence had angered her. Along the way, he picked up a lot of jade articles and treasures and brought them to her, but she waved her hand and rejected them all. Not long after, the young man held a jade Buddha statue in front of her and said with a smile, "Look, this is a jade Buddha statue." Chu Menglin coldly snorted and said, "Nonsense." She cast a glance at him and said with disdain, "You don't have to pretend to be crazy to make me happy." The young man laughed and said, "Why would pretending to be stupid make you happy? Don't tell me you only like idiots and crazy people? "
Chu Menglin's face turned ashen, and she tightly pursed her lips. She thought, "No matter what kind of nonsense you say, I won't care. Let's see what other tricks you can play." The young man wanted to tease her, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't we play a game? You don't have to open your mouth to speak, you just have to shake your head. Nodding your head means denial, shaking your head means acknowledgment, and if your face is expressionless, it means you're shaking your head. Very well, you saw that I picked up quite a few treasures, and in your heart you admire me very much, but because of your face you don't want to admit it, is that right? "
Chu Menglin did not say anything. The young man said, "Um, if your face is expressionless, I'll take it that you're shaking your head in acknowledgment. Actually, it's not that big of a deal, it's just that my luck and luck are a bit better. But Miss Chu treats me differently, Zaixia is overwhelmed by your favor. " Seeing her cheeks slightly puffed up in anger, he was secretly amused. He continued, "You like this jade Buddha statue very much, if I give it to you, you will gladly accept it, won't you?" Chu Menglin did not say anything. "Very well," the young man said, "You're still expressionless …"
Chu Menglin was proud and arrogant to her bones, she did not want others to take advantage of her with words. Even though she was fully aware that the young man was trying to provoke her, she could not help but nod her head. The young man was greatly delighted. "I give you a gift," he continued, "You should also give me a gift in return. This is called 'nobody suffers any loss', or it is called 'friends have yi qi'. Giving a gift is not perfunctory, if you want to give a gift, you should give the best gift. The sword by your side is of the highest quality, you are preparing to give it to me, aren't you? "
Chu Menglin gnashed her teeth in anger and nodded her head. "What a wicked thief," she mused, "You want my Afterimage Sword! Humph, but at least you know what's good for you. "The young man clapped his hands and laughed heartily. He spread his palm in front of her face and said," Give it to me then. "
Chu Menglin was startled, she did not know what he was talking about. When she finally reacted, she angrily shouted, "Hey, you are shameless! Just now I clearly nodded my head. " "That's right," the young man said, "I asked you if you were willing to give me the sword, you nodded your head to show that you are willing. What else do you have to say?" Chu Menglin said, "You said it! You said nodding your head means denial, shaking your head means acknowledgment, yet you denied it. "The young man laughed and said," Everybody in the world knows that nodding your head means acknowledgment, shaking your head means denial. I am naturally fond of talking nonsense, I just randomly spouted some nonsense, unexpectedly you regard it as the truth and believe it without any doubt. Zaixia is overwhelmed by your favor. "
Chu Menglin angrily said, "You … how can you speak nonsense? A real man speaks his mind … "The young man laughed and said," I am just playing a game with a little girl like you, what real man or not? But I am indebted to Miss Chu for thinking highly of me, for recognizing me as a great hero, a real man. Zaixia is overwhelmed by your favor. "Chu Menglin was so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices.
"Alright," the young man said, "We have played enough. I said I am giving you the Jade Buddha, I am serious. Just accept it." Chu Menglin said, "Why are you giving it to me? I don't worship Buddha. "" You don't worship Buddha, "the young man said," You might as well sell it for some money. "Chu Menglin said in her heart," Why don't you sell it for some money? I don't believe you have a good heart. "She decided to restrain herself and not answer his question, so as to avoid being fooled. The young man originally wanted to amuse her to pass the time in the tomb, but after a few words failed, he lost interest.
Walking over a steep slope, the young man picked up a thin book from a skeleton's hand. The pages were old and yellowed, apparently it was quite old. Casually flipping through it, it was a martial art manual. His face lit up, he turned around and handed it over to Dodo. He said with a laugh, "For a martial art practitioner, this book is absolutely a good thing, one can only come across it by chance and not by searching for it. Today Zaixia is willing to present this secret manual to Daren. " Dodo cast a cold and indifferent glance toward the book, but she did not take it. Her line of sight slowly moved up to his face. Suddenly she pulled him over and stood side by side. In a low voice she said, "I have something to ask, you answer honestly. Do you really rob tombs for a living? "
Without the slightest hesitation the young man replied, "Yes, yes, of course. But the old Village Chief said that this line of work, to put it nicely, should be called 'tomb raider'. Let's accumulate some manners, so let's put it nicely. " Dodo did not linger on this issue for long, and immediately said, "The old Village Chief also said that there were no buried treasures in the royal mausoleum." The young man understood and smiled apologetically, "Before entering the underground palace, how could I tell if what he said was true or false? Now it seems that it was all a lie. There were so many treasures in the tomb, wouldn't there be even more in the Hall of the Dead? I made a bet with myself, and it seems that this bet was not wrong. "
Dodo asked closely, "Then why are you not interested in the treasures you saw?" The young man said, "I don't have three heads and six arms. I only have two hands, and my pockets are also limited. I can't carry a lot. I can't have the best of both worlds, so I can only give up on the small change and focus on the treasures in the Hall of the Dead. There's another reason, and it doesn't sound nice. It dirties my mouth and your ears. Do you really want to say it? "Dodo said," Say it. "
The young man sighed and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's just a little calculation of mine. Think about it, you're a high-ranking official in the imperial court, which means you're my big boss. As long as I help you and do things well, how can you not reward me heavily after the matter is done? It's worth ten times, a hundred times more. Why should I covet those small profits and leave an insatiable sloppy appearance in front of you? "
Dodo said with a smile that was not a smile, "How do you know?" The young man suddenly panicked, and his whole body trembled slightly. He smiled apologetically and said, "You said it yourself. You said it yourself to the old Village Chief that you're a descendant of Prince Heshuo Zhuang. Isn't that still a relative of the imperial family, an official conferred the title of Prince? You … don't you remember? "
