Chapter 165 The Battle of the Tomb (6)(1/2)

Two days later, at noon, a dozen riders were fast and relaxed to the bottom of Qiushan Mountain. Before the horse could stop, the leader jumped down and rushed up to the top of the mountain.

Under the leadership of the guards, the man quickly walked to the entrance of the camp where Chu Nanfeng lived, "Long Yongwei scattered and straightened Wang Qing to meet Mr. Chu..."

Long Yongwei was a full-time guard at Danei Palace. If it were not for Guo Rong's personal order, it would never have been possible for him to leave Beijing. Chu Nanfeng, who was talking to Mu Daocheng, felt a tighten heart and stood up, "Is there something important?"

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Hua and the others suffered..."

Chu Nanfeng felt his ears roaring like thunder, and his pores stormed, and he fell down.

Luo Xiaoyao was shocked and rushed to Wang Qing and said tremblingly: "You, what did you say?!"

"Mr. Wu and the others were killed..."

Luo Xiaoyao was stunned and suddenly felt a breeze move. Wang Zhi's body in front of him was empty, but he saw that he was lifted up by Chu Nanfeng and rushed towards the foot of the mountain. He suddenly came back to his senses and stood up and followed closely behind.

Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen, who went to Chengzhou City to buy a house, returned to the journey five miles away from Qiushan. However, when he saw Chu Nanfeng, Luo Xiaoyao looked solemn and rushed forward and followed by a team of people. In his heart, he was surprised and heard Chu Nanfeng passing by, saying, "Go back to Kaifeng with his master..."

Xiao and Lin looked at each other, but they felt something was wrong. They immediately turned their horse's head, rode their horses and whipped them to chase Chu Nanfeng, and behind Luo Xiaoyao.

After entering Kaifeng City, with Wang Qing's guidance, the four masters and apprentices went straight to the morgue in the Kaifeng Prefecture's yamen.

Kneeling in the park, Meng Xiaohu and Changshan were in a daze on the wooden board of Hua and the others. But when they saw Chu Nanfeng coming in, they stood up at the same time. Meng Xiaohu said tremblingly: "Senior Brother..."

Before answering, Chu Nanfeng reached out to peek at Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing and his two men's Tianguan holes. After his expression changed a few times, he stood in a daze for a moment. He asked Meng Xiaohu: "Where did you find the two masters..."

The reason Chu Nanfeng asked this was because he found out that Wu and Hua should have been killed for two days, and both of them died because they cut off their heart meridians. But they thought they encountered Zhiku and Zhiguang on their way to Kaifeng from Qiushan. Under the siege of two masters of the Golden Body Realm, they knew that there was no hope of escaping. Wu and Hua would have cut off their heart meridians.

"In a wheat field more than 30 miles away from the capital... A villagers discovered this morning and reported to Murakami Rika. Because the two masters had signs of signs entering and leaving the palace, the two masters were sent to Kaifeng Prefecture..."

Meng Xiaohu wiped the tears that had fallen, "At that time, the emperor had not yet retreated from the court. After hearing the news, he ordered Wang Qing to inform his senior brother. Then, in order to come to the yamen, the emperor stood there for a long time after seeing the two masters, and then left without saying a word..."

At this time, the captain of the Yanei continued to say, "I heard that the emperor was going to send troops to Qinglong Mountain, saying yes, saying that Qinglong Mountain was going to flatten..."

Chu Nanfeng was shocked when he heard this, "Little Tiger quickly took me into the palace..."

When they rushed to the front of the Danewende Hall, they saw Guo Rong standing in the middle of the hall corridor. Fan Zhi and Wang Puyi knelt in front of Guo Rong on the left and right, all of whom pulled his sleeves and kept holding his robe sleeves. There were more than a dozen officials on both sides of the corridor bowing to the ground, while Zhao Kuangyin, whose forehead was bleeding, was held up by two Long Yonggu, and knelt in front of the steps.

"Caughters meet the emperor..." Chu Nanfeng bowed and bowed, Luo Xiaoyao and others bowed to the point of bowing down.

When Guo Rong saw Chu Nan Fengxing, he pushed Fan Zhi and Wang Pu away and greeted him, "My master must not treat him like this..."

"Can the emperor allow me to report?"

Guo Rong could have guessed the purpose of Chu Nanfeng. He sighed when he heard this, then looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who looked happy at this moment, and a "hum" sounded, leading Chu Nanfeng to the imperial study.

After Guo Rongping retreated, Chu Nanfeng said, "The two masters are concerned about peace in the world and unification of the voices and teachings. However, if the emperor destroys the dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will make the two masters and junior brother Zhao and others feel regretful."

"The Liao people planned to replace the dragon vein fortune, but if they failed, they would have the intention to destroy the dragon vein. The dragon vein fortune is blessed by heaven, but they are not allowed to destroy it... If the emperor sent troops to destroy it himself, it would have fulfilled their wishes."

Now, we cannot tell Guo Rong about the Buddha's calamity, and Chu Nanfeng can only tell the truth about his lies.

Guo Rong had been in a state of peace for a long time, and his resolute expression turned dimly. He looked at Chu Nanfeng with tears rolling eyes, "How can we find the murderer?"

"The murderer relied on the magical power of "leakage" to cover up the cultivation energy, but it was difficult for people to detect it. But next autumn, they will face me head-on..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Rong said suspiciously: "How can my master know that next autumn... they will appear in front of each other?"

After Jiang Qiubai was captured, Chu Nanfeng knew that something was necessary for Guo Rong to know. When Mu Daocheng had no way to Wuwang Island to rush back to Kaifeng, he instructed Mu Daocheng to let Wu Wangbo reveal that he knew that as long as he protected a burial tomb, the tomb formation would be unbreakable. However, Guo Rong did not know the details of Ying Huoling's offense against Tianshiyuan.

Chu Nanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "A few days ago, I accidentally met a master. He was the same disciple of Mr. Zhu of the tomb formation. He only learned about the method of protecting the formation from him. I was busy with the layout and led to the murderer, but I forgot to tell Junior Brother Jiang and the Emperor."

"When autumn comes next year, a strange phenomenon appears in the sky, and the earth will not respond. It is the opportunity for the murderer to break the burial tomb. At that time, as long as a burial tomb is broken, the tomb formation will be lost..."

"Ah?!" Guo Rong was shocked, "Do you know when will the master? Then I will send troops to guard..."

Chu Nanfeng shook his head, "The vision is unknown when it will appear in autumn, and before the vision comes out, senior Mu, Master Mingwu, cannot be separated. If the military guards are allowed to defend first, they will be killed by the murderer..."

"If the murderer does not kill Bingwei, he will also set up a disguise and dress up in it. But we dare to be in three places when the strange phenomenon appears. We cannot check Bingwei in detail, and then we will be able to take advantage of it."

"The next two masters are killed, so can I help you?"

Chu Nanfeng felt a lot of pain, but Guo Rong was not worried. "I have the confidence to prepare for the matters of manpower, so the emperor doesn't have to worry."

Guo Rong nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want the two masters to buried the place where Emperor Taizu's tombs... Does the master agree?"

Chu Nanfeng wanted to escort Wu, but Hua and the others returned to the academy for burial. He heard this but knew that Guo Rong wanted to worship him in person in the future. Looking at Guo Rong's earnest gaze, he nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, Master, for your accomplishment."

Chu Nanfeng hesitated for a moment, "We just saw that Zhao Kuangyin was being held by two guards because he was angry because he dissuaded the troops?"

Guo Rong's expression seemed complicated when he heard this. After a long time, he sighed and said, "In order to stop me from sending troops to Qinglong Mountain, Zhao Kuangyin mentioned Empress Xuanyi..."

Empress Xuanyi, who is said by Guo Rong, is the daughter of King Fu Yanqing of Wei. She is not only calm and courageous, but also humble and gentle. Although Guo Rong is wise and powerful, her temper is irritable. Whenever she gets angry, Empress Fu always comforts her calmly, but she can help Guo Rong get rid of her anger.

When the troops were sent to the Southern Tang Dynasty last year, Empress Fu could not stop Guo Rong from taking the initiative to personally fight and also followed the army. At that time, the Zhou army was not effective at the beginning, and it was raining rain in the Yan Office, but Empress Fu fell seriously ill and died. Guo Rong was extremely guilty and resentful of his unscrupulous attempt to invade the enemy.

Zhao Kuangyin could not dissuade Guo Rong from sending troops to Qinglong Mountain, but asked Guo Rong if he remembered Queen Fu's painstaking efforts. The meaning was to remind Guo Rong not to act alone. Guo Rong, who was originally sad and angry, suddenly became angry when he heard this, so he asked the guards to take Zhao Kuangyin down.

Chu Nanfeng knew that Zhao Kuangyin had stabbed Guo Rong in a hurry and sighed in his heart when he heard this, "Zhao Kuangyin's intention was to make the emperor give up the idea of ​​sending troops to Qinglong Mountain... and how about letting him go?"

Guo Rong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, Master, I will not kill any officials at will. I am just annoyed that he said nothing, so I asked someone to take him down... I will release him later."

………

Ten days later, in the camp tent at the top of Qiushan Mountain, Mu Daocheng looked at Chu Nanfeng with a sad face and said, "The death of Mr. Wu and his friends is a failure in our tomb protection personnel... What arrangements are the big brothers going to make?"

"Senior thought it was appropriate to arrange it?"

Mu Daocheng asked instead: "Under this situation, among these three burial tombs, where do the eldest brother thinks Zhiku choose to start?"

Chu Nanfeng pondered and said, "There is only a twelve hour opportunity for Zhiku. When the two stars of Yinghuling appear, Zhiguang and Long Congyun must wait until Zhiku sees the astrological signs before setting off."

"The journey from Qinglong Mountain to these three burial tombs is almost apart, all of which take three or four hours. But Wulao Mountain and Qianhegang and Qiushan are more than a thousand miles away, but it takes six or seven hours. If Wulao Mountain cannot succeed, they will no longer have time to go to Qianhegang and Qiushan..."

"But Qianhegang is only two hundred miles apart from Qiushan, and it only takes one hour to work hard. If you find that Qianhegang cannot succeed, you can turn to Qiushan to go back to the map. I think they will start from these two places..."

"What the eldest brother said is reasonable, but if so, according to what Abbot Wenyi saw, Master Mingwu can see the secrets of astrology and heaven. After the summer next year, you can go to the Wulao Mountain to lurk near Wulao Mountain..." Mu Daocheng paused and frowned, "But who can help Master Mingwu protect the burial tomb?"

Chu Nanfeng pondered for a moment, "Let Xiaoyao and Master Mingwu go with you."

Mu Daocheng was a little stunned when he heard this, and nodded suddenly, "He will eventually know his mission and let him go. At that time, some soldiers and guards will help them..."

"I think it's not appropriate to send troops to help me... Before Ying Huoling invades two stars, Zhiku will often secretly investigate these three burial tombs. Wulaoshan Mountain is very wide, with many caves, and it's feasible to lurk in it. If there are troops and guards, it's easy to be exposed."

Chu Nanfeng paused and pondered for a moment and said, "When the summer comes next year, I will let Mu Yun and Wanzhen return to 'Qingxin Temple' and ask the head of the house to come. Then follow me to Qianhegang, and the senior will guard this place with Master Wenyi."

...

On the fifth day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Xiande, Fang Yuan brought two arrow guards to Qiushan. After greeting everyone, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Nanfeng, saying, "This is Mr. Li Guanshu and Mr. Li..."

"Oh?!" Chu Nanfeng was surprised for a moment.

"Miss Wanzhen had the idea of ​​asking Mr. Li to help him. On the way back to 'Qingxin Temple' with Mu Yun, she went to Wuhui Mountain. He heard that Mr. Li had not answered what Wanzhen asked for, but he compiled this letter and said that he was handing over to Mr. Chu..." Fang Yuanyan said.

Chu Nanfeng nodded, opened the letter and read it, then put it away, and turned to Luo Xiaoyao, "It's almost autumn. You can follow Master Mingwu to the Northern Han to Wulao Mountain in one or two days to familiarize yourself with the terrain around the burial tomb, and be prepared."

Mu Daocheng said, "The burial tomb of Wu Lao Mountain is the same as here, both in the dense forest, which will limit your sword-like performance, but it is called fighting wits and courage. If you really face them, you can also use trees to block and deal with them."

Luo Xiaoyao looked at Ming Wu who was silent, and responded solemnly: "Disciple understands."

Two days later, Luo Xiaoyao and Mingwuwu went to Wulao Mountain in Puzhou. When they arrived at Wulao Mountain, it was already dark, but they were afraid that Zhiku would come to investigate secretly. The two of them first found a cave at Yuzhu Peak.

At noon on the second day, Ming Wu led Luo Xiaoyao to Dongjinping Peak where the burial tomb is located, and entered the flat woods halfway up the hillside on the south side of the mountain. Ming Wu stopped in the middle of two big trees that were ten feet apart in the forest and said, "The burial is located in the middle of these two trees..."

Luo Xiaoyao nodded, looked at the ground between the two trees, and then walked around and looked at the surrounding terrain.

Ming Wu followed him and walked and said, "There are cliffs on the west side of this place, the cliffs on the north side are nearly ten feet high, the cliffs on the west side are more than fifty feet high, and the cliffs on the north side are more than thirty feet high, and the bottoms of the two cliffs are more than thirty feet away from the burial tomb crypt."

Before Jiang Qiubai had an accident, Ming Wuzai came to Dongjinping Peak with Chu Nanfeng and was familiar with the terrain here. As Luo Xiaoyao stood on the slope of the south side of the forest, pointing to the green dense forest that covered the mountains and headed towards the bottom of the mountain, Ming Wu said again: "The mountain on the south side is almost the same as the east side where we just took the road, but this slope is three feet deep... If Zhiguang came, and while we were guarding us here, where would the young lay Buddhist think they would come from?"

Luo Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, "The cliff in the north is more than fifty feet high. Even if they are very skilled, it is impossible to go straight down. There is a slope that is three feet high on the south side. Standing here to watch, it is easy to find them."

"The east slope is to gradually rise and connect with the forest. It is more than 60 meters long and is covered by dense forests. However, within ten meters, we will also find that the younger generation thinks they will go down from the cliff to the west..."

"Amitabha, good, good." Ming Wuheshi said: "Yes, Mr. Chu also judged that day. The cliff to the west was only ten feet high. It was easy to take their cultivation level and go down one by one, and it was possible to attack with a high force..."

"Why do the master think we should be armed?"

"On that day, the monk and Mr. Chu had assumed that they had set up an ambush on the cliff top in the west, but later they arrived at the cliff top to find that this strategy was inappropriate... The south and north sides were so that they could see them appear, but the east was connected to the dense forest. If they sneaked in from the east, they would be unable to stop it. Therefore, they believed that it was best to stay in this forest."

Luo Xiaoyao thought for a moment, but realized that there was nothing. What Chu Nanfeng saw was reasonable. He heard this and said, "Then make a decision based on this and stay in the cave at that time."

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Luo Xiaoyao, who was sitting quietly in a cave on the hillside of Yuzhu Peak, was watching the sky and moving in the cave every day. He thought, "But the sky and the sky that was invaded by Ying Huoling appeared?"

"That's right." Ming Wu nodded.

Luo Xiaoyao's heart tightened, picked up the water dragon yin, stood up, "Then I can go to the defense early..."

"Don't be anxious when you little layman." Ming Wu shook his head, "It's not too late to go after more than an hour."

"Why?!" Luo Xiaoyao was surprised and suspicious.

"Only by their wisdom and suffering, they can realize the changes in the celestial phenomena. Whether they are starting from Qinglong Mountain or coming from the center of the three burial mounds, it takes three hours, and we should be able to wait for it."

"And the sky is moving abnormally, and dark clouds are born, so there may be a heavy rain. Let's calm down in the cave first..."

After Ming was speechless, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest. Luo Xiaoyao was excited but could not enter the silence of thoughts. Ming Wu seemed to have some awareness and recited the "Breaking the Barrier Sound" practice scripture to relieve Luo Xiaoyao's mind and concentrate and regulate his breathing.

When the hour of Hai, the two left the cave, but as if there was no light, there was no way to detect it. The night sky was covered with dark clouds, and the darkness made people feel depressed.

After walking in a fast pace for half a stick of incense, he arrived at the place where the burial tomb on the hillside of Dongjinping Peak Mountain was located. Before the two of them stood for ten breaths, a low thunder sounded in the sky. Just as a lightning flash penetrated into the forest, a shocking thunder suddenly sounded, followed by a heavy rain pouring down.

The two stood under the big trees on both sides of the burial tomb crypt, and stood still, allowing the rain dripping from the gaps between the branches and leaves to hit their bodies. With their cultivation, it is easy to keep the rain from getting stuck in their clothes, but they are afraid that the fluctuations in the aura will cause people to notice, but they do not emit hidden energy.
