Chapter 14: The Tomb of the Emperor Yao Tao Tang Clan
Night falls.
The hustle and bustle of the gourd mouth returned to silence, only the sound of skeleton soldiers digging pits was left, and by the hazy moonlight, this group of skeleton soldiers was more energetic than what they did during the day.
Tang Jing did not return to Tingshan, but camped in Hulukou.
In the makeshift tent, under the swaying light of fireflies, Tang Jingping retired from the guards, knelt alone in front of the desk, and took off the star ring he was wearing.
After the blood drops,
The seven star stones shattered, shooting out seven starlight rays and burrowing into the palm of Tang Jing's right hand, forming a seven-star pattern.
"I really confessed the Lord......"
Tang Jing had never been so excited, behind each string of star rings, there was a secret realm connected.
What is Uncharted?
Generally speaking, it is an independent dimensional space, which may be inhabited by star beasts, some kind of secret medicine, or even an ancient ruin.
The existing star beasts, secret medicines, and secret treasures in the Pangu Continent are almost all from the secret realm.
The secret realm only allows the owner of the star ring to enter and exit, and it can only carry items from the secret realm, and cannot store external items in the secret realm, acting as a mobile warehouse in disguise.
Once the ring's owner dies, the secret realm will disappear and disappear again.
Holding back his excitement, Tang Jing gathered his mind and sensed the seven-star pattern in his palm, which burst out with faint blue starlight, weaving a fluctuating spatial door in front of him.
Stepping in, Tang Jing stepped on a strange realm, and wisps of gray mist floated in the air, gray, and he could only see the scenery of the surrounding kilometer range.
submit
The earth was black, covered with patches of dark star grass.
Not far away, a nine-meter-high stone monument was erected, and behind it was a twenty-four-meter-high circular mausoleum, made of boulders, like a super beast crawling in the void.
Rise
The stars are shining overhead, and the twenty-eight nakshatras are arranged in order.
"Is this an ancient ruin, or is it a very rare mausoleum?"
Tang Jing quickly made a judgment, the harvest of this secret realm was the most uncertain, it might be a chance from the sky, or it might not be anything, and there would be no joy.
I want to know,
How can this kind of regulated mausoleum be casually broken into?
Tang Jing stared at the tombstone, only to see two lines of big characters engraved on it with oracle bone inscription - the tomb of Emperor Yao Tao Tang, and Emperor Yiqi erected a monument at the end of the 5406 year of the Fuxi calendar.
Di Yao, surnamed Jiang, named Yao, also known as Tang Yao, the founder of the Tang regime of Emperor Yaotao, the first emperor, the distant ancestor of the Emperor Gao Xin, and the ancestor of the Emperor Zhi Qingyang.
Di Yiqi was the second emperor of the Tao Tang regime and the son-in-law of Di Yao.
"It turned out to be the tomb of the ancestors of the Tang family."
Tang Jing didn't think it was a coincidence, and saluted respectfully towards the tombstone, bypassed the tombstone, and found a stone gate on the side of the emperor's mausoleum, just trying to see if he could push the door in.
Click, click......
It was the familiar sound of breaking ground again, and two skeleton generals in armor drilled out of the ground, one holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and the other holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, and shouted in a deep voice: "The emperor's mausoleum, idlers are not allowed to enter!" ”
"I am a descendant of the emperor, and I beg to come to the door to worship." Tang Jing hurriedly explained.
"Descendants of the Emperor?"
The skeleton general holding Fang Tian's halberd pointed to the recess on the right side of the stone gate, "Press your right hand up." ”
Tang Jing did as he was told, feeling pricked by a needle.
Click,
Click...
Miraculously, the stone door opened in response, revealing a bluestone staircase going down.
Tang Jing was about to step down, but he was stopped by the skeleton general again, and hummed and said: "The emperor has left a will, even if it is a descendant, he must defeat the two of us before he can enter." ”
"What ???"
Tang Jing was speechless, the aura exuded by these two people was even stronger than Cai Lei, even after thousands of years of washing, they still exuded a killing aura.
It can be seen that he must have been a fierce general who killed people like hemp in his lifetime.
No matter how conceited Tang Jing was, he couldn't win against any of them.
Not to mention the two ......
When he met Baoshan and couldn't enter, Tang Jing finally realized this pain, and he knew that as the ancestral emperor's tomb, he didn't know how many treasures were hidden in it.
It's a panic to think about......
However, if you can't win against the general who guards the tomb, what Tang Jing can take away is estimated to be the dark star grass growing around the emperor's tomb.
Although the Dark Star Grass is also a kind of secret medicine, it is extremely ordinary, and it can be cultivated on a large scale in the outside world, and it is of equal value to the Star Grass used to feed the star mussels.
It can only be said that talking is better than nothing.
Leaving the secret realm with regret, Tang Jing reappeared in the tent, thinking about it, he was still unwilling, walked out of the tent, and found a skeleton soldier who was in a daze, "You come with me." ”
Click, click......
Although the skeleton soldiers couldn't speak, they could also understand human speech, especially with Tang Jing, the master, who was naturally close, just like a robot, obediently followed Tang Jing into the camp.
Tang Jing hooked his mind and opened the secret realm again.
"Get in!"
Tang Jing pointed to the reappeared space door.
Click, click......
The skeleton soldier didn't understand what danger was, so he stupidly stepped through the space door and disappeared.
"Can it be done?"
Tang Jing wasn't so sure.
The secret realm does not allow people other than the owner of the star ring to enter and exit, and if others dare to rashly step into the space door, nine times out of ten, they will be exiled to the void.
What Tang Jing thought was that the skeleton soldiers belonged to special life forms, and they did not necessarily follow this law, and because of the collusion of the Yin Tiger Talisman, strictly speaking, the skeleton soldiers should belong to Tang Jing's "soul servant".
You might be able to enter and exit the secret realm.
Anyway, even if it's wrong, it's just a loss of one skeleton.
Thinking like this,
Tang Jing stepped into the secret realm again, and when he saw the stupid little skeleton, a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Now it's earned!
…………
Early the next morning,
Ji Li hurriedly came to report his work, and found that the skeleton army had disappeared, but he didn't care, thinking that it had sunk into the ground again.
Then I found out,
The 1,000 maces and 1,000 single-edged axes that had not had time to be taken away were all gone, leaving only the 1,000 strong bows that had been captured.
"Don't look for it, I'm equipped with the Skeleton Army for the mace and the single-edged axe." Tang Jing said.
Last night
After completing the well digging operation, Tang Jing collected all the more than 2,000 skeleton troops into the secret realm.
As the place where the emperor's mausoleum is located, it is naturally an excellent place of gloom, and the existence of the mausoleum general is the best proof, according to Cai Lei, the gray mist in the secret realm even helps to improve the strength of the skeleton soldiers.
It's simply tailor-made for them.
The best thing is that from now on, if Tang Jing and the others have a tireless army that they can carry with them, they don't need to consume grain and grass materials.
The value of the Skeleton Army skyrocketed exponentially.
In view of this, Tang Jing naturally wanted to do everything possible to prioritize improving the strength of the skeleton army, and the first step was to equip each skeleton soldier with weapons.
Anyway, what the Tingshan army lacks is only armor, and there is no shortage of weapons for the time being.
As for why the strong bow was left, it was naturally because the skeleton soldiers were relatively stupid and would not use a bow at all, even if it was a simple weapon such as a mace and a single-edged axe, they had to be trained the day after tomorrow.
And these weapons,
The secret realm is also something that skeletons can carry in and out by default.
"How's yesterday's battle damage?" Tang Jing diverted the topic.
Ji Lifu was interested, no longer asked, and replied: "In yesterday's battle, in addition to the skeleton army, our side lost 52 people, 160 people were slightly injured, and 72 people were seriously injured. ”
The greatest casualties were in the city defense battalions.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the city defense battalion are all wearing iron armor, the protection is amazing, and the single strength is not weak, even in the face of the black mastiff cavalry, the casualties will be minimized, more injured, less killed.
In the Cold Weapon War,
The gap in weapons and equipment will be directly reflected in the casualty data.
It's that cruel.
In contrast, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Township Soldiers, which had almost no protection, mainly attacked from a distance, so the casualties were relatively small.
"On the wind dog side, 1,127 people were killed and 375 were wounded. The remains have been buried in a centralized manner, and the wounded, including prisoners of war, have been held in two commune camps. Ji Li continued.
casualties of the Wind Canine Man,
Half from the Black Mastiff Cavalry, half from the Skeleton Army.
"Wounded, let them fend for themselves." Tang Jing said coldly.
"Childe is not going to let them go?" Ji Lixi had already guessed, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"What do you think?" Tang Jing didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Ji Lifu thought for a moment and said, "Instead of letting the tiger return to the mountain, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”
The Inuyi people have always been eager to take revenge, even if they are let go today, they may be able to calm down for a year or two, and after that, they will inevitably have to retaliate again.
"Clever!"
From the very beginning, Tang Jing never thought of compromise, "You sit in the rear, continue to deal with the aftermath, and distribute the captured leather armor to every township soldier." Inform Yang Jian and lead the city defense battalion to join me. ”
"No!"
Ji Lixi did not hesitate and turned to leave.
