Chapter 486 The Monk on the Coffin
"??"

Chu Qing was also briefly stunned for a moment:

"Who are you talking about?"

“Not a monk.”

Wenrou repeated it again, and spun the beads in her hand a few times:

"I remember when you were at my house, you said you wanted to remember the smell of this monk so that you could cause trouble for him next time you saw him.

“The person you found later was Senior You Zong, but you didn’t cause any trouble for him.

“Later… I met someone who really wasn’t a monk in Wanbaolou, and I memorized his taste as well.

"So that I won't be able to find him when you want to cause trouble for him in the future.

"This string of Buddhist beads doesn't smell like a monk. I won't be mistaken about that."

Chu Qing almost laughed out loud, the soft and gentle voice echoed in his ears like the sound of nature.

He rubbed the gentle head gently and said:
"Well done, this is really a case of looking for something without any effort.

"Can you follow the beads and find the monk?"

"As for the smell, there are traces to follow, but I'm not sure if the source is the monk. But the Buddhist beads don't smell like anyone else except the monk and the rice paste."

"To be precise, Miju is not a human either."

Wu Qianhuan helped to correct it.

Blinked gently:
"Right."

"Lead the way gently, let's go."

There is no rush to find the Tomb King. Anyway, the Tomb King was so anxious to destroy the big zongzi's body in the tomb that he obviously did not expect that Nian Xin and Nian An would be able to find his real body even without his living body in the tomb.

The other party will not be on guard now. In this case, why not give up a little time to deal with the one who is not a monk?
Immediately, Wenrou led the way and they followed the path forward.

Of course you have to be careful when walking to avoid holes or traps on the ground and fall into them.

But even so, it only took a cup of tea before Wenrou stopped.

After searching the ground for a while, he pointed to a hole and said:
“The smell is coming from here.”

"This is a robbery hole."

Chu Qing took a look. He had seen a lot in the past two days and had a certain understanding of this aspect.

But now he somewhat regretted not bringing the shepherd boy with him, otherwise it would have been a lot easier.

Chu Qing didn't dare to go down this tunnel easily. In some places, Mi Hu could come and go freely, but Chu Qing and others might not be able to do so.

No one can predict what the situation will be like below, and it would be risky to go down rashly.

He simply circled around the tunnel twice and found several more tunnels around it. In front of a larger tunnel, Wenrou smelled a scent that was not that of a monk, while Chu Qing found traces of someone entering and leaving here.

“This ancient tomb has been dug up with numerous holes.

"It seems that the monk did not enter from this place. It is hard to say where Mi Hu entered from, but he came out from the previous tunnel.

“It’s just like a rabbit warren.”

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. When a rabbit digs a hole underground, it will never have only one entrance and exit.

Just like the ancient tomb in front of us.

Chu Qing didn't hesitate too much and decided to go in and investigate together.

Although separating Wu Qianhuan and Nian Xin and Nian An to guard the door might prevent some problems.

But Chu Qing didn't want to act separately rashly... It was not that the monk had some secrets. After killing the escaping scholar, this person did not leave Nanling through the "fourth road" of Tongtianling, but hid in the Shijue Cave.

There might be something mysterious going on here.

Thinking of what the wife of the escaped scholar said, Chu Qing did not intend to take any risks.

Even though Wu Qianhuan now has profound internal strength, because of the [Tianming Sword Technique] and [Zhi Yue Xuan Gong], there is still a world of difference between him and when he was in Wanbao Tower.

But risks must be kept to the lowest possible level.

Taking out a tinder from his bosom, the group walked inside along the tunnel.

Although it is a relatively large theft hole, it is still inevitably cramped and makes people feel depressed from the bottom of their hearts.

Fortunately, these people are not ordinary people and they still have some mental quality.

Wu Qianhuan and Wen Rou have been with Chu Qing for such a long time that they are well-experienced.

As for Nian Xin and Nian An, they are simply heartless... The conversations between the two girls are very strange.

Nian An, who was following behind Nian Xin, said with some dissatisfaction in his tone:
"This place is too narrow. Who is buried inside?"

"It must be some big bandit on the Green Forest Road!"

"How big of a bandit is that?"

"How would I know? Maybe it's bigger than the boss's?"

"Is that as big as your butt?"

"what?"

"Your ass is almost as big as this really tight hole!"

"...Nian'an, if you say that again, I will fart at you!"

"How dare you, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me!?"

"What do you want to do? I advise you not to be impulsive!"

"Then don't fart! Oh, your butt is all that's left in front of me, I can't even see where the boss is."

"I'll sit on you to death, do you believe it?!"

"I do not believe……"

Chu Qing: "..."

Wu Qianhuan: “…”

gentle:"……"

If you think about this conversation carefully, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

But when I think about it more carefully, something doesn't seem right.

Especially the gentle voice behind Chu Qing, who suddenly asked faintly:
"Third brother...can you fart?"

"…If I can't fart, I'll be dead."

"So you want to let it go now?"

"No! Don't let them lead you astray."

Chu Qing had a dark face and led the way in front.

"If you're going to fart, be sure to tell me."

Gentle said:

"I have a sensitive nose, and if I'm not prepared, I'm worried I'll pass out."

"Am I a skunk?"

Chu Qing couldn't help but refute.

Wu Qianhuan couldn't help but laugh.

Wenrou immediately said:

“Sister Wu, if I farted, I would tell you too… You don’t have to be afraid.”

"……thank you."

"It's okay, we're just friends, don't be polite."

From this we can see that there has indeed been a change in Wenrou's temperament, but this change is somewhat unscrupulous.

Fortunately, this tunnel was not too deep. After a while, Chu Qing found the end and took a look inside with a fire starter:

"This should be an antrum. I don't know how many times it has been visited by tomb robbers. The coffins are always empty."

He turned over and entered the tomb chamber, and Wenrou, Wu Qianhuan and others also came in.

Wu Qianhuan looked around the surroundings:

"So not all tomb robbers return empty-handed. I wonder where the things they found went?"

"Those who are lucky may be able to sell them, but those who are unlucky... may make a lot of money here, but then fall into other ancient tombs and be trapped to death inside." Chu Qing said while glancing at Wenrou. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the cheers of Nian Xin and Nian An.

The two girls high-fived excitedly:
"Great, none of us farted!!"

Chu Qing had an urge to bury these two silly girls directly in the hole dug by the tomb robbers.

What a shame! !
Moreover, as a martial artist, his internal energy is harmonious and he can control his qi and blood as easily as using his arms and legs. Is it difficult to control a fart?
What on earth is there to be happy about?

In particular, Chu Qing discovered that Wen Rou seemed to be affected by the joyful atmosphere and even had the urge to cheer along.

So the question I was going to ask turned out to be:
"Promise me you won't play with fools."

"what?"

Wenrou was very confused, but nodded obediently:
"it is good."

Wu Qianhuan subconsciously glanced at Nian Xin's butt and nodded. It was indeed a bit big...

And he added silently in his heart:
"Still round, but not as round as mine."

But in a flash, I couldn't help blushing. Why should I think about these messy things?
After coughing and regaining his composure, he said to Chu Qing:
"First find someone who is not a monk."

"There's no need to look for it."

Chu Qing's ears moved:

"I know where he is."

He immediately led the way, and everyone followed him. After walking out of the ear chamber, they arrived at the corridor in the tomb, which was quite spacious.

There are some mottled murals and reliefs on the walls, but they are not systematic.

Chu Qing had no intention to study the secrets hidden in it that were hundreds or thousands of years old. He just followed his ears and came to a spacious tomb.

This should be the main tomb chamber, which is spacious and flat. In the middle there is a deliberately raised platform with a coffin placed on it.

The coffin was opened and the lid fell aside.

The monk was sitting on the coffin at this time, cross-legged, with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating and practicing qigong.

Chu Qing glanced at him and smiled:
"Master, we meet again."

The monk also opened his eyes and muttered slowly:
"Amitabha... That little mouse stole my Buddhist beads. I could have taken them back, but because of the mercy of God, I could not bear to kill them.

“I didn’t expect that between a sip and a bite, I would attract a donor.

"It seems that this poor monk and I, the donor, have a deep connection."

Chu Qing waved his hand:

"I advise you to speak properly. I feel a headache every time I hear a monk speak recently."

"Ok?"

Not a monk, a little strange:
"Why?"

"I went to Tianfo Temple some time ago and met a Buddha King who spoke in the same tone as you."

Chu Qing walked forward slowly, but stopped at a certain distance from the coffin:
"I beat that old monk so hard that he went crazy. Even after he went crazy, he still came to cause trouble. I had no choice but to send him to see his Buddha.

"By the way, who injured the master?
"Why are you here?"

It's not the monk's face full of compassion:
"My injury was not caused by human beings."

"Could it be the work of the giant zongzi in this ancient tomb?"

Chu Qing smiled.

"How does the donor know?"

It wasn't that the monk was surprised.

Chu Qing was even more surprised:

"It really is?"

“To be honest… I observed the sky at night and learned that there was a demon causing trouble in the Ten Absolute Caves.

“That’s why I came here specially to slay the demon!
“I didn’t expect that this evildoer was so powerful that even after my entire life of hard training, I was still no match for him. Now I have barely suppressed him in this coffin and dare not leave even a step.

"Otherwise, that evil spirit will surely come out of it, burn everything in the world, and bring disaster to the world!"

The monk's face was full of compassion, and his tone was heavy, not seeming fake.

Chu Qing quickly clasped his hands together:

"Amitabha, what the Master said is so incredible that it is hard to believe."

The monk sighed:

"At this point, how could I deceive the donor?
“To be honest, this evildoer is very powerful… If I didn’t have my magical weapon, it would be impossible to completely destroy it.

"So I have an unwelcome request... I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"Master, please tell me what you say. I will obey you without hesitation."

Chu Qing looked serious.

“I need to go find a magic weapon, but this evildoer is so powerful that if no one suppresses it, it will surely poison the people.

"Therefore, I would like to ask you to replace me to suppress the evil spirits here. Wait for me to get the magic weapon, so that I can slay the demons and eliminate the evil spirits!"

When the monk said this, he looked at Chu Qing without blinking.

His eyes are sincere and his gaze is firm.

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"This is too difficult for me, how about this? Tell me the name of the magic weapon and I'll get it for you?"

"...Donor, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that you can't find it."

"Yes, after all, there is no such magic weapon. Where can I find it?"

Chu Qing said helplessly:

"Did the master always deceive people like this in the past? Treating people like three-year-old children and playing with them is fun? I'm curious, how many times has he succeeded?"

The monk thought seriously and said:
"Nine times out of ten, it works."

"… Indeed, universal education is necessary. If everyone could read and write, there wouldn't be so many fools."

Chu Qing sighed:

"Master, please answer my question carefully. Who hurt you?

"Is it the Scholar Who Runs Away?"

The monk suddenly looked up at Chu Qing, but regained his composure in the next moment:

"how you said that?"

"No need to be too explicit."

"……Amitabha."

The monk smiled bitterly:
"I know that our fate is not right, and the person I am waiting for is not you...

"I didn't expect that I would get the person I was waiting for, and I also got the person who saved me."

"Why do I feel that...the people you are waiting for and the people who are saving you are the same people?"

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly:

"The injuries on your body don't look like the work of a scholar on the run."

"How does the donor know?"

"Because his [Gentleman's Way] is in my hands, your injuries are obviously not caused by this martial arts lineage."

"I see."

The monk exhaled slowly:

"Do you have time to listen to a story?"

"We have wasted quite a bit of time, so I don't mind telling you a story. Please continue, Master."

Chu Qing sat down while talking.

Seeing this, Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou sat on Chu Qing's left and right, while Nian Xin and Nian An sat at the back.

With his back to Chu Qing, he was on guard against the approaching direction.
