Heinous

"I've seen and heard of many graves, and it's the first time I've seen one as capable as yours." On the way into the mountain, Bao Leng said so.

The entire mountain looks ordinary on the outside, but a huge hole has been dug out inside. The main tomb path leads from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, spiraling all the way down. There are a total of nearly twenty tombs along the way, spanning hundreds of years.This kind of miraculous burial method is definitely unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented.

If it wasn't for the appointment with Xue Qirong in advance, things can be taken, but they are absolutely not allowed to be publicized, let alone published. In this tomb alone, there is no need to worry about Bao Leng's three-year thesis.

What he said made Xue Zhe quite subtle, and he said, "Do you know what's in the tomb?"

Since entering the tomb, they had passed through three tomb chambers, but Bao Leng said that there was nothing to see, and he was not even allowed to enter.While Xue Zhe was itching, he couldn't help wondering what would be in those tombs that Bao Leng said were "very interesting".

"It goes without saying about antique calligraphy and paintings—your ancestors are very urgency-conscious, and everyone did not forget to save a batch of funerals before going in—it's just that the owners of these tombs in modern times are relatively poor and there are still vacancies, so There are fewer things."

Bao Leng stopped in front of the door of the fourth tomb, signaling Xue Zhe to go in and have a look.Xue Zhe did as he said, and walked in with a flashlight.

There are still differences among these tombs. If people lived a relatively leisurely life, most of them intend to build a spacious "room" for themselves, but some are not so comfortable, and the tombs are unavoidably simple.The room that Xue Zhe walked in was such a simple one.

The main chamber contains nothing but a coffin.On the wall directly opposite, someone drew eight big characters with a long sword: If the country does not exist, where is the rivers and lakes?

"According to seniority, it's your great-grandfather's tomb." Bao Leng walked in after him, looked at the eight characters on the wall, and said in a low voice.

Xue Zhe had heard about the deeds of his great-grandfather. At that time, in addition to the treasures of the Mishan Mountain, the Demon Sect had thousands of wealth accumulated from generation to generation, but he almost defeated all of them. It's just eight characters.

After bowing to those eight characters, Xue Zhe exited the tomb, complaining to Bao Leng while returning the money: "Can't you pick me someone who is farther away and won't have so much psychological pressure?"

"There are quite a lot of demands," Bao Leng curled his lips, "Then keep going down, the further you go down, the farther you are from you, and the less likely you will be under psychological pressure."

All the way down, besides lamenting how rich and leisure his ancestors were, Xue Zhe also felt the distinctive features of his ancestors. I saw Andre who was engrossed.After he went in and took a look, he realized that this was actually the tomb of Xue Wangzu, who was known as "the number one rebel in the Xue family".

And the reason why Andre would stop here is also very simple. The walls of Xue Wangzu's tomb are engraved with all kinds of prescriptions he accumulated all his life, densely carved all over the wall.Although some of them have been handed down to this time, many of them have long been lost. For Andre, this is an extremely precious wealth.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a good deed in my ancestors..." Xue Zhe was quite emotional-if all his ancestors were like this, would he still be so worried?

"It's true to do good deeds, but not to accumulate virtue." Andre was busy copying, but when he heard Xue Zhe say this, he suddenly raised his head, "Xue Wangzu never killed people in his life and saved countless people. It's true, but he Among the people saved, at least half are notorious criminals in Jianghu. He never killed a single person, but the number of Jianghu people who died because of those he saved was by no means a small number."

"..." Xue Zhemo froze.

"It is said that he was captured by a man when he was young. That man could not bear to kill him because he was young, but because he was from the Xue family, he forced him to swear that he would never kill him for the rest of his life..." Andre sighed, "From him , no one in the Jianghu would dare to treat a Xue family lightly."

As he spoke, Andre also pointed to a sentence engraved on the main wall of the tomb: If you don't kill in your life, you will be full of sins.

I don't know whether it was inscribed by Xue Wangzu or someone else. If it was the former, he must have been extremely proud when he wrote this sentence.

"..." What a bunch of ancestors he is!

Coming out of Xue Wangzu's tomb in despair, Xue Zhe muttered as he walked: "I think, with such a group of ancestors, I am actually a good young man who has never done anything bad in his life. Miracle……"

He complained, but his footsteps suddenly stopped.

A strange cold wind blew from behind, making his whole body tense, subconsciously looked left and right, but only saw the dark tomb passage, and there was no one else.

weird...

"What?" Seeing Xue Zhe's strange reaction, Wushe stopped at the same time and looked at him suspiciously.

Bao Leng had just joined up with the archaeological team to study something, and at this time they were the only two walking side by side in the tomb passage.Although the atmosphere in this place is eerie and treacherous, for Bu She, with Xue Zhe around, there is really nothing to worry about.

"...I don't know." Xue Zhe moved his shoulders to relax the tense muscles.The feeling of being stared at was still imprinted on his body, making him keep looking back.

As if someone else is here...

Confused by his own guess, Xue Zhe laughed dryly: "It should be nothing... Come on, Xiao Amnesty, it's too dark here, give me your hand."

"it is good."

With an extra living person in his hands, and a living person with extraordinary strength, Xue Zhe felt that the unscientific thoughts in his heart could be ignored, so he muttered again: "Speaking of which, Dad was not a good person back then... This kind of family background really makes people feel a lot of pressure, I feel that I will be sorry for myself if I don't do something bad..."

"Ah……"

A very light laugh rang in Xue Zhe's ear.With a soft laugh, a gust of air blew onto his ears, that kind of exhalation that seemed to be mixed with the sinister wind of the underworld definitely did not belong to a living person...

The hairs on his body stood on end, and Xue Zhe's whole body trembled. He turned his head sharply, his eyes fixed on his back - that's where the laughter just now came from.

But under the light of the flashlight, there is clearly a piece of air, not to mention people, not even a ghost.

Ghost... ghost... damn!

"Azhe, what's the matter?" If it was just Xue Zhe's allergies once, but it would be a bit strange even if it happened again.

"It should be... an illusion." Not just wanting to comfort Bu She or himself, Xue Zhe shook his head fiercely, shook Bu She's hand vigorously to strengthen his confidence, and gritted his teeth: "Let's go on, don't stay Here it is."

"it is good."

All ghosts and snakes are paper tigers, there are no ghosts in this world... Repeatedly repeating in his heart, Xue Zhe had no intention of managing the tomb on the road. Xue Zhe caught sight of Yang Mian's figure, and then stopped.

"Come in and take a look?" Yang Mian was standing in front of a tomb, and when he saw Xue Zhe approaching, he put on a "please" posture at him, which seemed a bit anti-customer.

Go in and go in... But to be on the safe side, Xue Zhe asked a lot: "Whose tomb is this?"

"Xue Kong'er, the Tomb of Thief."

Xue Kong'er's tomb is considered the largest among the Xue family's ancestors, and there are a variety of beautiful things in it, all of which are the "trophies" of Daotian's life.

Yang Mian took out a long sword from it, and brushed off a thick layer of dust that fell on it, revealing the scabbard that was as white as snow underneath.

He was not in a hurry to pull out the long sword to watch, but silently stared at the sword in his hand, and sighed: "Xueqi..."

What the Yang family had dreamed of for hundreds of years was now so easily obtained by him.

Seeing his pensive look, Xue Zhe couldn't help reminding: "You can just pay this one back, and the short one is mine. I advise you not to think about going back."

"I didn't say I wanted it either..." Seeing Xue Zhe's vigilant expression, Yang Mian shook his head: "If it wasn't for an explanation to Grandpa, I wouldn't bother to take this."

He glanced at the tomb, and sighed: "The accumulation of Xue Daotian's life is really extraordinary, but now it's so easy... If he knows it under the nine springs, how would he feel?"

"Well, I think it's already written there." His family's ancestors seem to have a hobby of writing something in the grave...

Yang Mian was slightly stunned, and turned his head to see that there was indeed a sentence on the main wall of the tomb.

"I spend my whole life as a child, and I spend my whole life on the beam. After thousands of years, there will be retribution. It doesn't matter whether you dig the grave, burn the corpse, or burn the bones and ashes. It's up to you to choose. When the retribution comes, someone Xue will sweep the coffin to welcome it."

"It really is worthy of being 'Rooting the Sky'..." After reading Xue Kong'er's message, Yang Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This level is really... hard for ordinary people to reach."

"That's what I said..." Xue Zhe had a different opinion, "Why do I think that if someone really believes in the opening of the coffin, there will definitely be an empty coffin?"

"Do you want to try?"

"Forget it," Xue Zhe shrugged, "My intuition tells me that if I really go to open the coffin, I will definitely die a very miserable death... Do you want to try? I will definitely not stop."

"I don't want to die until I see your ending..."

Saying goodbye to Xue Kong'er, Xue Zhe and Bu'she continued to walk down the road, and they didn't know how far they had traveled. In the darkness, a gleam of light suddenly appeared.

It looks like the light of a flashlight, and I don't know who is in front...Xue Zhe was curious, and walked a few steps forward, and heard Xue Qirong's voice from over there: "Xiao Zhe?"

"Father, what are you doing down here...?" After a few steps forward, the originally narrow tomb passage suddenly opened up. Xue Zhe glanced around with a flashlight and found that they had entered a huge stone room.

"According to the order, this should be the site of the second ancestor." Xue Qirong said, "Theoretically, there should be the tomb of the ancestor and the treasures of the lost mountain below here...but I don't know how to go down."

"Second Patriarch..." Xue Zhe suddenly thought of a strange question for a long time, "By the way, Dad, why is there no 'two' on the stone tablet in the valley?"

"Because no one can be sure that the second ancestor is really dead."

The second ancestor of the Xue family was named Xue Changle, and the person who named him was unknown, but this name definitely ran counter to him—his life was extremely short, and the recorded "living" time was only 37 years. In this life, how much "happiness" he can have, I'm afraid he can count it on his fingers.

There is no other reason, only because Xue Changle was blind from birth and never saw the light of day in his life.What's more, he was born with insufficient heart, let alone practicing martial arts, even living a good life is an extravagant hope.

When he was born, Xue Wang, who had made the whole world tremble, had already died under the snow unicorn.For the safety of the child, his mother kept her anonymity and only wanted to raise the child well.But when Xue Changle was six years old, a group of Jianghu people found the small mountain village where their mother and son lived in seclusion.

No one knows exactly what happened after that, but ten years later, the "Mishan Treasure", which had been forgotten by people, suddenly became a hot topic in the world again, and a treasure map of the Mishan Treasure made countless people flock to.

But when the final victor stepped on countless corpses and finally arrived at the location of the legendary hidden treasure in the Mishan Mountain, what he saw was an empty space.

A forged treasure map and countless deliberately spread rumors have turned the entire rivers and lakes into a mess.

After that, he spent 20 years building the Demon Gate. With a body that could die at any time and a pair of eyes that could never see, he dealt with countless high-level chivalrous men for a lifetime until he put the iron order of the Demon Gate to the fore. Handed over to his youngest son, those people still couldn't even touch a trace of him.

No one even knew whether he was really dead, or if he was retiring for the time being, peeking at the terrified people who had been played by him in the dark.

Because his life and death are unknown, and his son never asked about Tiangu—this valley used to be Xue Changle’s secluded place—to set up a monument for him. There are even rumors that Xue Changle found the elixir of immortality in the lost mountains, and it has long been known. Transformed into a fairy, flew away...

"Immortal..." Xue Zhe curled his lips, extremely disdainful of this statement, "If he could really become an immortal, he would have uprooted the world sooner or later."

"It's hard to say," Xue Qirong didn't know why his expression was solemn, "There are too many unbelievable things in the life of the second ancestor. If he is just a mortal, it would be..."

"Father, you don't believe in those weird things, do you?" Xue Zhe sneered, and flicked the flashlight, the light swept across a wall, illuminating a bright color on it.

"What is this..." Pointing the light at something on the wall, Xue Zhe took a closer look and couldn't help but froze on the spot.

It was a scroll, about two meters long, on which was a standing portrait of a man.

The man was wearing a toga with big sleeves, and he looked like he was exiled from an immortal.It's just that his eyes were dull and dull, and he left the immortals in the mortal world.

The painter's skills are extremely deep, and he portrayed the man's eyebrows vividly, and even captured the mocking expression between the man's eyebrows extremely accurately.Looking at the portrait, one almost has the illusion that the person in the painting has stepped out of the scroll, raised his head slightly, and looked at himself with empty but cold eyes...

"This..." Xue Zhe couldn't help but took a few steps back. He stared blankly at the portrait in front of him, and couldn't help but glance to the side, but he saw the same astonishment on Unforgive's face.

——Although the expressions are very different, and although the clothes are completely different, the eyebrows and eyes of the people in the painting, when you look closely, are actually the same as Xue Zhe.
