Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 209 Entering the Cave and Becoming a God

I hurriedly hugged Cui Hao.

Patting him on the back gently like coaxing a child, she said, "It's okay. It's all over."

"Lao Zhang saved us, everything is fine now."

Cui Hao gradually calmed down.

He sat down on the ground as if exhausted, wiping the sweat from his forehead and breathing heavily.

"Brother, what happened just now?"

"I feel like I'm being controlled by something. My body doesn't obey my brain at all. It seems like it wants to hurt you!"

While Cui Hao was asking, Shi Nianzi and Wang Hu woke up one after another.

Their reactions when they woke up were similar to Cui Hao's. After we comforted them for a few words, they calmed down.

The last person to wake up was Old Man Su.

He did not react excessively, but instead smoked his pipe with a frown on his face.

Puffs of smoke came out of his nostrils.

The thick smoke could not hide the sad look on his face.

I thought he was so frightened that he looked so sad.

So he comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Lao Su. You are just controlled by the evil spirit and your Yuan Yang has suffered some damage."

"Old Zhang used acupuncture to help you replenish your energy. You'll be fine after some more rest."

"Hmm." Old man Su forced a smile and hummed twice, then continued to smoke silently with his head down.

Shi Nianzi walked up to me with his head hung down and said in a muffled voice, "Master Chen, I wasn't strong enough just now!"

"I'm a beast for actually using a knife on you!"

"Nianzi, this is not your fault..."

Before I could finish my words of advice to him, I saw him raise his hand and slap himself hard.

clap clap!

Draw the bow with both hands.

After two slaps, red slap marks appeared on both cheeks.

Seeing that he was about to slap me again, I quickly held down his hands.

"What is this for?"

"You are controlled by evil and have no control over yourselves."

"If there is any fault, it is mine."

"It's all my fault for being incompetent and putting you in danger. I should be the one to be slapped!"

I mean all this.

I really feel a little sorry for them because I brought them into danger because of my own affairs.

So I plan to let them stay outside to provide support when we explore the cave.

Cui Hao and I just need to take the risk and go into the cave.

This is the cause and effect that both of us should bear.

Shi Nianzi was stunned and at a loss: "Master Chen, that's not what I meant. I just..."

"Oh, I'm not good at talking. I don't know what to say!"

"Even if I'm controlled by someone, I can't use a knife to cut my brother!"

"This is disloyalty and injustice!"

"According to the swordsman rules taught by my grandfather, those who are disloyal and unrighteous should be stabbed three times and stabbed six times..."

"Nianzi, come here." Wang Hu pulled the stone mill away and started muttering to himself.

Persuade Shi Nianzi not to feel guilty about swinging the knife at me.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened.

Taoist Master Zhang stroked his goatee and said, "Daybreak is approaching."

“Do we need to deal with the excavated soil?”

I slapped my forehead and then thought of backfilling.

He quickly asked the stone mill and others to work and fill the dug-out soil back.

After finishing the work, it was completely light.

We packed up and returned the same way.

After returning to the valley where we set up camp, I asked Cui Hao and the others to rest first.

Taoist Priest Zhang and I discussed entering the cave.

"Old Zhang, judging by what Ma Si said, the sooner we get into the cave, the better."

"Is he fooling us?"

Taoist Master Zhang shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding."

"Last night, when I was checking the earth's energy, I discovered that the flow of the earth's energy nearby was a bit abnormal. The earth veins carrying Yin energy around have changed and are gathering towards the cave."

"The more negative energy there is in the cave, the more trouble we'll encounter when we get in."

"Originally, I wanted to check the seven levels of the Earth Qi Lock and use the Seven Star Nail to lock the Earth Qi around the cave, but now..."

Taoist Master Zhang suddenly stopped talking.

My heart sank suddenly.

I feel that the content after the word "but" is definitely not a good thing.

"Alas!" Taoist Master Zhang sighed sadly, "But now the earth's energy has changed. There are only Yin energy veins around the cave, but no Yang energy veins. So the seven barriers are gone."

"Locking the seven gates of the cave is one of my greatest strengths."

“It’s completely useless now.”

"We can only adapt to the situation and be on guard against Ma Si using us."

"But fortunately, we still have this pair of horns. They might be very useful at a critical moment."

Taoist Master Zhang actually placed his hopes on that diagonal corner.

This was totally beyond my expectations.

When I was about to ask him what the horns were for, I heard the rustling of grass underfoot.

somebody is coming!

I looked up towards the source of the sound.

I saw a paper head floating out from behind the grass!

The paper-made head was white, with a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows drawn with thin lines.

Beneath the willow-shaped eyebrows are smiling phoenix eyes, and the upturned corners of the eyes reveal indescribable charm.

A pair of delicately painted eyes seemed to be able to captivate people's souls.

When I looked into those eyes, I felt like it was not a paper figure, but a living girl.

Under the tall nose bridge is a small cherry mouth.

It’s just that the color of the lips is a bit strange, similar to the dark red of oxidized blood.

But the strange color adds a unique charm to the paper figure.

The rustling sound of footsteps was heard again.

The paper man slowly walked towards me.

My heart was tense as I thought of the paper figure that replaced Ma Si last night.

Could it be possible that this paper figure that holds the soul of the dead could actually escape in broad daylight?

"Old Zhang..."

When I asked Taoist Master Zhang to look, the paper man suddenly raised his hand.

The moment it raised its hand, I vaguely saw a thin wooden stick behind the paper man's arm.

Ok? !

This isn't right.

There were no thin wooden sticks to control the joints on the paper man last night.

After taking a closer look, I was sure I was not mistaken.

The movable joints on the paper man are controlled by small wooden sticks.

Someone is manipulating the paper man!

"Playing tricks?!"

"Get out of here!"

I stepped forward holding the goose-feather knife.

Swish!

He chopped off the paper man's head with one knife.

The moment the paper man's head rolled down, people screamed.

"what!"

"Why are you chopping off the paper man's head?"

"I came to see you out of kindness, but you can't even take a joke!"

Wu Gengsheng, who was squatting behind the paper man, jumped up and shouted at me angrily.

After shouting, he bent down and picked up the chopped-off paper man's head.

Holding the paper man's head, he placed it in front of his neck.

I frowned slightly.

First of all, I thought his coming was too strange.

Secondly, I thought it was unlucky for him to put the paper man's head in front of his neck.

Combining the two aspects, I even think he did it on purpose.

At this time, Cui Hao and the others were woken up and all gathered around to stare at Wu Gengsheng.

"Hey hey hey!"

Wu Gengsheng laughed sinisterly.

His eyebrows suddenly drooped, and his nose and mouth were pushed upwards, squeezing his facial features into a lump.

The facial features are squeezed together and look a bit like a monkey.

Like a monkey mask!

Then he bent his waist, folded his hands in front of his chest like a monkey, still holding the paper head in his hands, and then jumped up.

This action makes him look more like a monkey!

“Hehe…hehe…”

He jumped over with his head tilted, stretched out his hands and handed the paper head to me.

"Enter the cave and become a god!"
