Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Origin of the Qilin, Is the Tomb Beast Alive?
Qilin Pavilion, located on a small island on the coast of the East China Sea, is known as the first pavilion in the world. Legend has it that in ancient times, a unicorn inhabited here, turned into a man and fell in love with a woman on the island, and gave birth to a baby boy. This baby boy claims to be a descendant of the unicorn, not only has high skills, the Tao is mysterious, but also proficient in the art of divination, can judge the world's affairs, can measure up and down for 5,000 years, know astronomy, know geography, known as the unicorn god.
Later, this person founded the Qilin Pavilion and recruited disciples from all over the world. It is rumored that Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others, who were famous in the Tang Dynasty, are the descendants of this Qilin Pavilion.
But I don't know what the accident was, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Qilin Pavilion closed the pavilion and refused to accept disciples, and gradually its reputation declined, and there were very few people who knew it. Except for some ancient sects that still know about this Qilin Pavilion, few people know about it.
Unexpectedly, Tong Yan would say that this girl with a bun head is the daughter of the Qilin Pavilion, which is really unbelievable.
The girl with the head of the bun stared at Tong Yan for a while, and then asked puzzledly, "How did you find out my identity?" Could it be that you can really anticipate things like a god? ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan shook his head and smiled: "The eldest lady praised it falsely, I am just an ordinary person, how can I have such great ability?" As for how I found out who you were, he actually told me. Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the Qing Ming on the side.
Qing Ming was stunned when she heard this, and then said suspiciously: "I told you?" When did I tell you? I don't even know who she really is. ”
Tong Yan smiled slightly: "Actually, it is not difficult to guess her true identity at all, first of all, you are a descendant of the divine beast, and you have a close relationship with the descendant of the Qilin, so you will have a natural affection for her; Second, the dagger in her hand seems to be nothing more than an ordinary magic weapon, but it is a well-known evil weapon Silver Light Blade, and the Silver Light Blade is a famous magic weapon of the Qilin Pavilion Lord in the past, and it cannot be passed on unless she is a relative, so this is more certain of her identity. The last point is her hairstyle, I think the reason why she combs her bun hair must be trying to hide something, right? If I'm not mistaken, she must have horns on the top of her head! Miss, am I right? ”
Hearing this, the girl with the head of the bun sighed lightly and said, "Alas, I knew I couldn't hide it from you." I have long heard that the young master of the trick door is extremely smart, and today I saw that it really deserved its name. Admire, admire! ”
Tong Yan smiled faintly: "I am really ashamed to be smart, compared with the eldest lady, it is just a small thing." In fact, there is still something unclear below, I wonder if the eldest lady can tell me? ”
When the girl with the head of the bun heard this, she nodded and responded: "You say, since your identity has been discovered by you, I have nothing to hide." ”
Tong Yan was not polite, and asked bluntly: "I want to know, why is the eldest lady here?" Why go into the tomb with us? Could it be that there is something in this ancient tomb that Ling Zun has taken a look at? ”
The girl with the head of the bun smiled and said, "The reason why I came here is indeed on the orders of my father." But why did I enter the tomb with you, I can't tell you now. I'll tell you when it's time to say it. ”
There is a saying, do not do to others what you would not do to yourself. Tong Yan saw that the eldest lady of the Qilin Pavilion was reluctant to say more, so it was naturally difficult to continue to ask, so he had to give up.
Look at the zombies on the ground, although their heads are destroyed, the remaining corpses can't help but tremble. Tong Yan glanced at Tong Hu, who immediately took out the fire utensils, found a dry branch and burned the corpse completely. Only after this was dealt with, the group continued to move forward.
But until they walked to the entrance of the ancient tomb, there was still no trace of Gao Qian, which made Tong Yan's heart a little worried. He looked up at the sky, it was not early now, and if he continued to consume and not enter the ancient tomb, he was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses by then. After all, it is unknown how many evil things are in this ancient tomb, and if it cannot be cleaned up overnight, it will inevitably leave a disaster. By the time dawn the archaeological team starts digging, it will be too late.
Qing Ming saw Tong Yan's solemn face, and asked softly: "Xiao Tong, are you remembering Gao Qian's girl?" I think otherwise, I will send someone to meet Gao Qian, and explain to her that we will enter the ancient tomb first, and she will know better. How do you say? ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan nodded and said, "It's okay, then let's go to the ancient tomb first!" ”
Qing Ming took out a black talisman from his pocket, put it under his lips and said a few words, then threw it into the air with a wave of his hand. I saw that the black talisman immediately turned into a black shadow as soon as it entered the air, and after a few flickerings, it disappeared without a trace.
"Alright, let's go to the grave!" Saying that, Qing Ming took the lead and was the first to drill into the tomb dug in advance. Then came Zhang Xiaobao and his master, and then the eldest lady of the Qilin Pavilion.
Tong Hu looked at the nine-tailed demon fox holding his arms, and immediately pushed Tong Yan to follow, followed by Yatou and Ruthless. Just waited for everyone to enter the ancient tomb, and the nine-tailed demon fox entered the tomb with disgust.
Because the tomb is located in the belly of the Emerald Mountain, the tomb road is sloping, and although the tomb road is a little narrow, it is not difficult to enter the tomb.
A quarter of an hour later, the group came to the end of the tomb. Immediately after, a stone gate three meters wide and more than five meters high blocked everyone in front of them.
Because this ancient tomb has never been discovered, even the tomb robbers have never visited it once, so the stone gate is very well preserved. The carvings on it are even more lifelike, as if they were newly carved.
On the left side of the stone gate is carved a crane stepping on auspicious clouds, and on the other side is a lush pine tree. The two are put together, which is the meaning of the pine crane prolonging the year.
On the left and right sides of the stone gate, there are two tomb beasts with human faces and beast bodies, but it is unknown what kind of beast they are, but from the physiognomy, they are a little infiltrating. The two tomb beasts both had strange smiles on their faces, sharp fangs in their mouths, and a pair of big eyes, just staring at the people who came with a smile like this, which made people's hearts furious.
Tong Yan and they are not ordinary people, so naturally they didn't take these two tomb beasts seriously. But looking at the closed stone door, a question quietly grew in Tong Yan's heart.
"The tomb door is closed, where did those zombies come from?"
Hearing this, Qing Ming said casually: "Maybe there is another entrance, no matter how many there are, I'll open the tomb door!" As he spoke, he stepped forward directly, pressed his hands on the stone door, and violently forward.
But what made him a little embarrassed was that even though he had used all his strength, he didn't expect that this stone gate would still not move, which made his face very ugly.
Just as he was about to continue to exert his strength, Tong Yan suddenly stopped: "Don't waste your efforts, I'm afraid this tomb door can't be opened by brute force alone." ”
Hearing this, Qing Ming said puzzledly: "Then do you have any good ideas?" ”
Tong Yan smiled slightly: "Isn't that simple?" Let Ruthless and the girl enter through the door and open the door from the inside. ”
When Qing Ming heard this, he couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. "I was so stupid to forget that we still have ghosts here. Haha......"
Ruthless and the girl heard this, and immediately floated forward, seeing that the two were about to pass through the stone gate, but at this moment, a sudden change protruded.
The tomb beasts on the left and right sides of the stone gate suddenly let out a deafening roar, and then, unbelievably, these two tomb beasts actually ...... It came to life!
