Chapter 6 The secret and the tomb guard
Although no one explained or introduced him to Jingji, and there was no word "tomb guard" written on this person's face, Jing Jing was still very sure that this person was the tomb guard. This was an intuition, Jing Jing's intuition about the enemy.
"Mo Ying's Twelve Secrets, are there just a few of them? There is also this special space to guard the tomb. What kind of tomb are they guarding?"
The tombkeeper looked at the people on the statue casually. After seeing Thorns, his eyes were obviously stunned for a moment. Thorns knew very well that this look was called surprise.
"What is he surprised about? Is it because I'm not dead? Doesn't this look mean that he thinks that I will definitely die after integrating the Heavenly Book?
The woman who used to be Chen Long was also very surprised. She was working with the tombkeeper. Since she thought I was bound to die, why did she give me the Book of Heaven?"
With just a glance, Jingjiang already had some guesses about his current situation in the Twelve Heavenly Secrets.
He is very dangerous. The tomb guard has evil intentions towards him, or is malicious. He has the idea of killing himself, maybe not absolutely, but he definitely has the idea of doing it casually.
Tomb Shou also knew that he was a traitor to Shi Lingyu Dao Sect. The powerful Chenlong and Tomb Shou were on the same team. There were too many unfavorable factors and it was difficult to move forward.
However, these are just Thorns' personal speculations without any evidence, and even if there was evidence, he would not have the power to do anything.
The tombkeeper took a deep look at the thorns and then withdrew his gaze.
"I asked everyone to come here today just to conduct routine inquiries. If you find a new Tianji Bell, please report it in time.
Mo Ying's Twelve Tianji plus Tianji's Tomb Guard have a total of 13 members. So far, we only have 6 members in total, and there are still 7 to go! This progress is really too slow, I hope everyone can be more focused."
Yin Hu: "Isn't what you are talking about nonsense? Everyone is very busy, who has time to find a bell! If I have that time, I might as well go to a brothel!"
Wu Ma: "Yin Hu is right. Finding bells is not our job in the first place. Since you have become the tomb guard, you should do these things yourself."
The two of them looked at each other without scruples, their strong tone filled the air with the smell of gunpowder, and they seemed ready to start a fight at any time.
Seeing that Yinhu and Wuma looked like they didn't care about guarding the tomb at all, Jingji became confused again.
"Tombkeeper, isn't he the leader of the Moying Twelve Heavenly Secrets? What is the organizational structure of the Moying Sect?"
Jingji suddenly had some brows, and Mo Ying's Twelve Heavenly Secrets didn't seem to be on the same page, at least Yinhu, Wuma and Tomb Shou were not on the same side.
Chen Long: "Yinhu and Tianji Bell are not just as simple as connecting with each other, the increase in members is also good for us.
Whether it is exchanging information, resources, skills, or warning in advance, or finding allies, you can use the Tianji Bell to do it."
Yin Hu: "What you said is true. If your purpose was really that simple, the old tomb guard wouldn't have died so miserably."
Chenlong: "Yinhu, have you said enough? Now is the regular meeting of Twelve Heavenly Secrets. Do you regard it as your own home?"
Yin Hu: "I haven't said enough, what's wrong? Do you want to fight?"
The two began to quarrel, and neither one wanted to be at a disadvantage in terms of language.
However, the tomb guard seemed to have no interest in their quarrel. He turned his head and drifted towards the thorns.
"Did you really succeed?"
Tomb Shou's tone was the same as Chen Long's before, full of doubts, which made Jingjia even more suspicious of Tomb Shou's original intention!
According to Shi Lingyu, only by integrating the Heavenly Book can the Heavenly Book of the Sun and Moon Sect be found.
If the tomb guards really value themselves, then their first reaction should be to be happy that they have successfully integrated the Heavenly Book. It is absolutely impossible to be like this.
"Well, it worked!"
Thorns nodded slightly. The tombkeeper knew his true identity. This was the most dangerous thing.
Now that he has made a move that is beyond the expectations of the tomb guard, the tomb guard is very likely to cause trouble. At this time, he can only take advantage of the tactics.
However, Jingji guessed that Tomb Guard would most likely allow him to continue his mission with the Sun Moon Sect.
Even in the face of the tomb guard, he had to maintain his indifference and adopt a cold attitude that could lead to death. This is a character that belongs to the thorns.
Now that the Book of Heaven is on me, an indifferent attitude can save my life. Thorns is sure, but if I nod and bow, I will most likely be exposed and be coerced by the tomb guard or killed directly.
The tombkeeper stopped in front of the thorns and asked again:
"The Book of Heaven represents the will of this world. Whether it is the Taoist Scriptures of the Dao Sect or the Qiankun Jue of the Sun and Moon Sect, they all come from the Book of Heaven.
Since you have also integrated the Heavenly Book, what kind of revelation did the Heavenly Book give you? Tell us specifically."
At this time, Chen Long and Yin Hu also gave up their quarrel and looked in the direction of the thorns. No one could refuse the opportunity to peek into the secrets of the Book of Heaven.
Facing the tomb guard, Jingji felt that the pores on his back were shrinking, and tension spread in every corner of his body.
Jingjing was not in a hurry. His excellent psychological quality allowed him to quickly adjust his emotions. After calming down, he spoke:
"I didn't gain any special skills, and I lost all my cultivation."
"The Heavenly Book will erase all your power and help you rebuild your foundation. I know this. But this is not the real power of the Heavenly Book!
Don’t you want to show it? Or do you want to hide something from us?”
The tomb guard's voice was deeper than before, and Jingjia knew that he had to do something, because he could hear the reluctance in the tomb guard's tone.
Jingjiang is very confident in his own judgment, which comes from his many years of experience in the special industry.
"Because I have fused the Heavenly Book, is that why he is unwilling to give in? Does he want the Heavenly Book, but he can't bring himself to fuse it himself?
If it is true, then this character is really timid and greedy."
Jingjia did not speak, but slowly raised his palm under the gaze of the tomb guards, Chenlong, Yinhu, Wuma, and Shi Lingyu.
"What does the gravekeeper want me to show you?"
Seeing Jingjia's calm demeanor, the tombkeeper suddenly laughed softly a few times, and then the laughter grew louder and louder.
"Hahahahaha, it would be great if he had your state of mind and courage."
Of course he, Thorns, would not ask the tombkeeper who he was. He hated other people's children the most, even if the other people's children were his own.
"Try this! A level 3 puppet, since it has such courage, it should be able to solve it on its own, right?"
The tombkeeper threw an iron block from his cuffs. After the iron block left his cuffs, it immediately grew in size and turned into an iron double-blade mechanical puppet.
The process of turning the iron block into a puppet was so fast that Thorns didn't even see it clearly.
But are you asking him to fight? What is the approximate level of this so-called third-level puppet? To be honest, this third-level puppet does not feel very powerful!
Thorns doesn't know how to respond to the tomb guard. Do you want to say that you have been testing me for a long time and then just sent such a rubbish? This kind of thing is a bit pretentious and cannot be said!
Just when Jingji was organizing his words, Shi Lingyu stood up.
"Guardian of the tomb, Thorns has lost his cultivation! This kind of test is meaningless!"
"Did I let you speak?" The tomb guard interrupted Shi Lingyu directly.
"Mo Ying's Twelve Heavenly Secrets are not your subordinates. Zi Shu and I will advance and retreat together!"
Jingji didn't expect Shi Lingyu to stand up and speak for him, and also wanted to confront the tomb guard. He could stand up at this time, what a good guy, a true brother!
"Ugly Cow, step back." Thorns said coldly.
"Forehead?"
Shi Lingyu looked at Jiajia in surprise, I helped you and you yelled at me? Or are we not brothers?
"Back off." Thorns repeated calmly.
Shi Lingyu's little mind suddenly lit up, and he immediately thought of Ji Ji's previous leap to kill the monster.
No, this is the secret between me and the thorns. I can’t explain it. Thinking of this, Shi Lingyu immediately lowered his head and said in a dissatisfied tone:
"I see."
Well done, a child can be taught. Jingji took his eyes away from Shi Lingyu and looked at the tombkeeper again.
"Since the tombkeeper wants to know the power of the Book of Heaven, then I will naturally agree, but only this time!"
When Jingji finished speaking, Yinhu's voice suddenly came out.
"Okay! I'm going up against a double-sword puppet with completely lost cultivation. Boy, you're so brave! Originally, I thought you were cold, and a little bit unpleasant to my eyes. I thought you were too gloomy.
You today have shown me the courage that some men should have, don't worry, no one will do anything at this time, not even the tomb guard, I said so!"
Jingji nodded slightly. It seemed that there were no problems with his character, language, and actions. He even won Yinhu's favor because he was just guarding the tomb.
This is an unexpected gain, very good. The next step is to deal with this level 3 double sword puppet.
The tomb guard didn't have any strange emotions, he just said calmly:
"let's start!"
The double-sword puppet suddenly moved into action, and the sound of "squeaking" gears resounding in its body.
With a "ding" sound, a thin steel wire was nailed behind the thorns. The puppet used the pull of the wire to jump to a place not far from the thorns in the blink of an eye.
The "squeaking" gears rotated, carrying the arm blades of the double-sword puppet, slashing towards the thorns.
At the same moment, the black energy overflowed from the thorns' body, and the demonic aura of the green saltpeter dragon began to spread in this empty and desolate space.
Shi Lingyu on the side was a little excited. It was also the first time that he had seen Jingji show this new power. Shi Lingyu quickly covered his mouth. Jingji had said that the lizard was a secret between the two of them.
,well, a secret that cannot be told!
Strong demonic energy emanated from Thorn's body, his eyes began to turn red, his canine teeth began to extend, his fingers turned into sharp claws, and a long lizard tail grew.
Such a change not only stunned the members of the Twelve Heavenly Secrets, but even the tomb guard himself was stunned.
