Chapter 484 Stay safe

Chapter 484 Stay safe
Finding dragons and dividing gold is a skill, and the secret art of Feng Shui is not something that ordinary people can understand.

However, Chu Qing is now the leader of the Southern Region Martial Arts World and has many capable people under him.

With the presence of Shepherd Boy, the disciple of the current thief king, finding the ancient tomb is really easy.

Not to mention in these ten caves.

After giving the order, some discoveries were made soon, and then they began to demolish... and relocate the graves.

It's just that the Shijue Cave is a horrible place. It looks okay on the surface, but the excavations underneath are even more outrageous than honeycomb coal. Once people start digging, it starts to collapse if they're not careful.

Fortunately, with so many experts here, it is very easy to sort out the internal things.

But as the excavation progressed, the situation underground in the Shijue Cave became eye-opening.

"There are big tombs inside small tombs, some are above and below, some are placed side by side, and some are even occupied by a cuckoo...

"Tell me, what kind of Feng Shui treasure land must this Ten Absolute Caves be to make people so concerned about it?
"Do you think that if you bury your ancestors here, your descendants will be able to rule the country? Or even become immortals?"

The shepherd boy didn't have to walk in front all the time. When he came back with some time, he couldn't help but complain to Chu Qing.

"It's hard to say for sure..."

Chu Qing smacked his lips:

“Since ancient times, making a living underground has been a profound subject, one could even say it is a separate entity.

"However, when I think of this, I suddenly think of a group of people..."

"Buried corpse?"

Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou suddenly said in unison.

The shepherd boy also laughed:

“Indeed, when it comes to funerals, there are of course people who bury the dead.

"But these guys seem to be rarely seen in the Southern Region recently... Speaking of which, did they go to the battle at Xianyun Mountain?"

Chu Qing shook his head:

"Never seen it."

"Oh? That shouldn't be the case."

The shepherd boy said:
“Wherever there is fighting, there are people burying bodies.

"The battle at Xianyun Mountain was a major battle in the Southern Region, but the person who buried the bodies was not even present?"

"How could I care about those people at that time?"

Wu Qianhuan said:
"The martial arts master of Tiansha Bingzhu is so powerful that it has been exaggerated too much. Everyone's attention is focused on... the dispute between the leader of the alliance and the lord of the army.

“Maybe even if a few people came to bury the dead, no one would take it seriously?”

“The Corpse Burial Organization is not a small organization, it has a huge number of members… As the scale of the Jianghu fights varies, the number of people they bring to the scene also varies.

"For the battle at Xianyun Mountain, they either don't go, or if they do, there will definitely be more than just two or three big cats and small cats."

When the shepherd boy said this, he looked at Chu Qing:
"I wonder if there is something wrong with these people?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure. I haven't heard of it."

Chu Qing was not particularly concerned about this. He was just about to express his insights on these underground livelihoods. Of course, his insights mainly came from classic tomb-robbing novels.

After all, the Yunling Heavenly Palace, the Kunlun Palace and the like... are too familiar to everyone.

In the past, stories about becoming an immortal after death were also very exciting to watch.

If I were to speak out these "insights", it might be shocking...

Unfortunately, no one gave me the chance.

Chu Qing didn't want to mention it later...

The shepherd boy wanted to express his opinion on burying the corpse when he suddenly heard screams in the front, followed by flames rising into the sky.

"Oh no, it's out..."

Before the shepherd boy could finish his words, he turned around and Chu Qing had disappeared.

His figure crossed the void and in a blink of an eye he had arrived at the place where the flames were rising into the sky.

Several people were seen wrapped in flames, their screams were extremely miserable, and the flames were spreading in all directions through the cracks in the ground at an extremely fast speed.

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly punched down.

As the cold air spread, the flames suddenly went out, and the people who were wrapped in the flames were blown away by the strong energy. Although the fire on their bodies was extinguished, they could no longer breathe in.

Chu Qing fell from mid-air and glanced at those people.

He turned around and came to a person. He stretched out his five fingers and pressed them on the person's chest. The person's body trembled immediately. Chu Qing frowned slightly. After a moment, he took his hand away. The person's breathing had stabilized.

Chu Qing did the same thing, and within a moment, the injuries of several people who were caught in the flames had stabilized.

But the burns on the body must also be treated properly, otherwise they will get infected and eventually lead to death.

However, these need to be handled by more professional doctors.

After those people were carried away, the rest of the people looked at each other in surprise.

"The leader just pulled those people back from the brink of death?"

"What kind of magical power is this?"

"With the leader here, our lives are safe!"

"It's a pity that it was burned like that, it's so tragic..."

During the discussion, Chu Qing said:
"Someone is coming."

Immediately, two people, one old and one young, came to Chu Qing:
"See the leader."

"what happened?"

Chu Qing frowned and asked, "Where did the fire come from?"

"It is a layer of kerosene attached to the tiles of the ancient tomb. It is unknown when this kerosene came from. It is covered with colored glaze on the tiles outside the ancient tomb. Once it is broken, the kerosene inside will turn into a blazing flame, burning in all directions.

"It's mainly to prevent tomb robbers... Once this shovel is dug, the result is obvious."

The older one replied respectfully.

Chu Qing glanced at him:
"I see. So you were careless just now?"

"This is not..."

The elder one smiled bitterly:
“The arrangement of the ancient tombs here is a mess, and there are tombs within tombs. It’s really a bit… a headache.

“They actually added another layer of tiles on top of the original glazed tiles.

"We thought it was a normal tile, so we didn't pay much attention to it. But we didn't expect that once we dug it with a shovel, it would burst into flames..."

"..."

Chu Qing nodded:

"Got it. Be careful in everything you do and don't hurt yourself. If you are unsure, go find Miss Mu. If Miss Mu is unable to help, come to me."

"Yes!"

The old man and the young man quickly knelt down on one knee:
"I will obey the leader's orders."

Chu Qing waved his hand and was about to leave, but suddenly he heard a hissing sound coming from underground.

The sounds were dense, like waves and tides, and seemed to be mixed with some inexplicable slapping sounds.

Chu Qing frowned slightly and stared at the cracks around him.

Then the old man next to him suddenly changed his expression:
"It's a corpse bug!!"

After saying that, he took out a small bottle from his arms, poured out the powder inside, and began to sprinkle it on his body.

"What is this?"

Chu Qing was a little curious. "The Corpse Avoiding Powder can hide the human aura so that it won't be discovered by these evil creatures."

The old man answered as he sprinkled food on the young man.

Chu Qing almost laughed out loud:

"So you hid yourself, and those corpse-eating bugs you mentioned came over and saw me first?"

The old man was stunned:
"Then why don't you leave? You are a martial arts master, who can stop you?"

Chu Qing nodded:

“That makes sense.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw black corpse-bugs crawling out from the crack and heading straight towards Chu Qing and the others.

Chu Qing raised his foot and took a step forward.

The howling sea breeze suddenly spread in all directions, freezing the ground wherever it passed. The corpse-eating bugs were also bound in the ice and could not move at all.

Chu Qing's chill spread along the crack towards the bottom of the ancient tomb.

In just a few moments, all these places were frozen.

At this time, other people also came over.

Seeing these corpse-bugs, some people felt horrified, some were quite excited, and some even licked their tongues... I don't know if they planned to cook two to test the saltiness.

Chu Qing clapped his hands gently:
"Kill these little things and let's move on."

Although the methods used in ancient tombs are bizarre, these things can still be discovered during the process of digging graves.

But relying on these things alone to create trouble for Chu Qing is simply wishful thinking.

After everyone came to their senses, they rushed forward... Apart from some strange mechanisms, the only things that could hurt them in the ancient tomb were the dead end from which there was no escape.

Otherwise, with the abilities of Chu Qing's men, any old zombie or big monster would be doomed to kneel down and get slapped in the face.

The corpse-bugs were quickly cleared out, and the kerosene was covered by Chu Qing's internal force and could not burn.

The shepherd boy also gave up lying down and prepared to come back to take charge of the situation. Chu Qing was very pleased with the vision and expressed his intention to go over and lie down.

The shepherd boy was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could rush up and bite people.

Overall, the progress of excavation is quite good.

The morale of his subordinates was also quite high. Although they were somewhat skeptical about Chu Qing's idea of ​​"moving the graves", the Ten Absolute Caves had been a deserted place for so many years, so Chu Qing's method was indeed the safest one.

While advancing and searching, coordination among all aspects is also in an orderly manner.

Chu Qing's attention was not focused on excavating the ancient tomb. He always paid attention to the surrounding environment. If anyone was spying, he would be able to notice it at the first time.

But so far, everything has been so calm.

For three consecutive days, they dug over ten miles and uncovered at least dozens of ancient tombs.

A large number of burial objects were collected...How much these things could be sold for? Although the shepherd boy gave a rough price, what he said was a bit exaggerated, and Chu Qing didn't really believe it.

Today, excavation continues.

Chu Qing sat cross-legged in the back, waiting for good news from the front.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps:

"Alliance leader, something happened."

Chu Qing opened her eyes. It was Ren Beiming who came. When their eyes met, Chu Qing spoke softly:
"explain."

"I dug up a huge zongzi! What a treat!!"

"??"

There were question marks in Chu Qing's eyes:
"Big Zongzi?"

Is this really possible?
Although things like corpse-eating bugs have already refreshed Chu Qing's worldview, they are still within a reasonable range. They are just a group of blood-sucking insects that grow in a dark environment.

But big zongzi… aren’t they all zombies whose bodies don’t decay and eventually grow white or red hair?
Is this a bit too much?
How can a corpse jump up again and act tyrannically?

Chu Qing stood up directly:

"Where is the mind and peace?"

"Ok?"

Ren Beiming was stunned:
"I'm drinking with someone in the back."

"Call them over."

Chu Qing gave another order.

Ren Beiming smiled bitterly:
"I can't call those two ladies..."

"Just say it was me who said so. If they don't obey, throw them back to Bodhi Temple."

After Chu Qing finished speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared.

Ren Beiming had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find Nian Xin and Nian An. These two claimed to be nuns who came out of Bodhi Temple to practice Buddhism with their hair uncut. But it turned out that not only could they not chant sutras, they also didn't know how to chant "Amitabha".

He drank a lot of wine and ate a lot of meat every day, and he was on good terms with a bunch of big and strong men, and he acted arrogantly...

But they are Chu Qing's people, and no one dares to offend them easily. Even Ren Beiming can do nothing about them.

Now after receiving Chu Qing's order, he went to look for it.

On the other side, Chu Qing had already arrived at the front of the team.

Before arriving, I saw the flash of sword light... The sword intent was like the wind, invisible, and everything was in the sword wherever it passed.

With just one look, Chu Qing knew that the person who made the move was the leader of Tai Shang Jian Men, Sikong Yijian!
He once used this sword to challenge Chu Qing at Xianyun Manor, but was evaluated by Chu Qing as "mediocre".

In fact, this statement is somewhat exaggerated.

This sword is by no means ordinary, but extraordinary.

It was just used to deal with Chu Qing, it was almost enough.

Now his sword fell on a figure wearing armor and shrouded in darkness.

The invisible thing is the sword, the visible thing is qi.

The sword tip and the body made continuous clanging sounds.

But that figure was not afraid at all. He let the sword energy sweep him like a strong wind, and he went against the wind without any sign of wavering.

He rushed forward, reaching out to grab Sikong Yijian's shoulders, and raised his head as if he wanted to bite him...

Sikong Yijian was a sword fanatic. Now that the opponent had attacked in such a way, it was obviously not in line with his aesthetic taste. He turned his feet, and the tip of the sword suddenly shook, turning from a gentle breeze into a sharp blade of violent wind.

In an instant, sparks flew from the opponent's armor, but the opponent couldn't take a single step.

The figure rushed forward, his hands like needles, trying to pierce Sikong Yijian's chest and abdomen.

Sikong Yijian wanted to retreat again, but suddenly he felt dizzy and it dawned on him that he was poisoned!

when?
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he sighed, feeling a little regretful.

If he stretched out his arms, he would surely die.

Unfortunately, he has not yet reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship...

Just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, his body suddenly retreated. In the blink of an eye, he had already flown back several feet. Then someone passed by him. When he looked up, he saw Chu Qing.

The next moment, Chu Qing kicked out and stepped directly on the head of the big dumpling. He pressed down with force, and there was a muffled bang.

The entire ground was shaking violently and cracks appeared everywhere.

Chu Qing put his hands behind his back and looked down:
"Are you the big zongzi?"

The big Zongzi spoke in human language:

"Third Young Master...I hope you are well!!"
