The cracks are so huge that they were not caused by human effort at all.

"It's that Ancient Zhou Warlock Tomb."

Li Yan immediately understood after seeing it.

Their previous fights, including the Du family incident, all started because of this ancient tomb.

A group of tomb robbers found Ancient Zhou Warlock Tomb, and because of the powerful mechanism inside, they used a large amount of explosives to break it open.

Looking at the dark hole, you can tell how big the movement was at that time.

Sha LiFei looked a little jealous and said with a smile, "There are so many people digging, and Hong Jie's master is also dead inside. There must be something interesting. How about we go and take a look after we are done?"

"Don't think about it."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "After the accident, everyone from Commandery Commandant Office and Enforcement Hall came here. Even if there is anything left, it has been taken away long ago."

"Let's go, get down to business."

Li Yan glanced at the cave, turned around and left.

His <North Emperor Scripture> and <Luo Feng Scripture> are shocking inheritances in themselves. The more they go on, the more powerful they become, and they have the opportunity to ascend to the gods.

Even if there is a legacy in the tomb, it has no appeal to him.

The three of them continued to move forward despite the wind and snow.

The terrain in this area is much more complicated.

The torch had been blown out and could not be lit at all, and everything was pitch black. Fortunately, Li Yan turned on Divine Ability to lead the way, otherwise he would definitely have fainted.

Not long after, they arrived at the foot of a cliff on the side.

This place is the entrance to the Du family tomb. A large number of trees were planted many years ago, and now they have become a forest, blocking the entrance.

If outsiders saw it, they would just think it was a deserted forest.

The three of them entered the woods, and along the way they could see some freshly cut branches, which were obviously left over from Landlord Du's inspection a while ago.

Following the traces to the bottom of the cliff, the wind and snow here were obviously much lighter. I lit the torch again, and a cracked gap suddenly appeared in front of me.

It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, in a herringbone shape.

"The structure of the Yin Mansion has been broken, no wonder something happened."

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head slightly and looked at Dirge Scroll in his hand, "Let's go. According to the above, there is no mechanism in the tomb."

"Wait..."

Li Yan stretched out his hand to stop the two of them, twitched his nose, frowned slightly and said, "Daoist Priest, didn't you say that the demon was conceived in the coffin? Why is there no smell of it here?"

Wang Dao Xuan said thoughtfully, "Yaoyi is a very rare thing. It can be artificially conceived, and I have never heard of it. I have never heard of it. Maybe there is something fishy about it. You will know if you take a look."

"It's better to be careful."

Li Yan immediately kneaded the hand and recited the incantation, with a slight hook of the little finger, "Nogao! Taiwei Chuling, create soldiers and armor, drive away evil spirits and assist righteousness, yang and cloth body, Northern Yin Emperor Decree, frighten weapons, decree!"

Wow!

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of paper man-made cud flew out of the leather bag around his waist, slipped into the crevices of the mountain, and disappeared into the darkness.

After a long while, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes, flashing a trace of doubt.

"What's wrong?" Sha LiFei asked quickly.

"It's nothing." Li Yan shook his head and frowned. "I didn't notice any danger inside, it's just that the tomb was built a little weird."

"Let's go, you will know once you go in."

The crack in the mountain only allowed one person to pass Body Connection sideways, so the three of them squeezed in. Fortunately, it got wider and wider as they walked, and after about seven or eight meters, a cave tomb suddenly appeared in front of them.

Wang Dao Xuan touched the masonry nearby and said, "Most Zhou tombs are vertical burial pits. This one was dug by the Du family, and there is an abandoned Zhou tomb behind it."

Sha LiFei looked forward and asked doubtfully, "Is there any difference?"

The tomb in front is blocked by a stone wall with a relief archway and a stone door that has been cracked.

"Inside."

Li Yan said something and asked Sha LiFei to join him.

In tombs like this, there are usually mechanical stone bars inside the stone door. When the tomb is sealed, it falls down and gets stuck, making it difficult to open.

But now, the tomb inside collapsed and the stone bars were broken, so the two of them pushed it away slowly with all their strength.

Phew~

Sha LiFei lit the torch and took a look, looked to both sides, and wondered, "Why is there still an archway? It's not written on Dirge Scroll."

Wang Dao Xuan also looked puzzled, "What kind of burial ceremony is this?"

I saw a stone archway behind the tomb gate. The shape is very simple, just two pillars with an I-shaped top and thick straw ropes hanging on them.

"This is not called a memorial arch..."

Li Yan frowned slightly, his eyes a little strange, "This thing is called a torii, and it is the building outside the Ying Zhou Human Temple."

He felt strange and familiar just now, but he couldn't remember it at the same time.

Now I took a closer look with a torch, and my long-standing memory came to my mind, and I immediately recognized this object.

"Japan?"

Sha LiFei was stunned, where is that place?

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "That's Wa Country."

"Oh~" Sha LiFei suddenly realized it, scratched his head and said, "It's strange, why did Wa Country appear again?"

"Let's go, maybe there's an answer inside."

Li Yan's eyes are also full of curiosity.

The further you go inside, the weirder the layout becomes.

Moreover, the smell of corruption has reappeared.

Li Yan turned around and looked at the torii gate.

This thing should be used to prevent the smell of monsters from leaking out.

The tomb passage along the way is Divine Land in a common style nowadays, but there are some strange stone pillars with straw ropes and white paper symbols hanging on them.

But most of the straw ropes have been broken, and the paper symbols are twisted and blackened.

The two styles are mixed together, which looks very awkward.

Sha LiFei asked curiously, "What is this? Is it Wa Country's talisman? Why is it still white? It's so unlucky..."

Finally, the three of them arrived at the central tomb.

This place is not big, it is octagonal in shape, which coincides with the Nine Palaces and Bagua. The coffin is made of stone and is covered with complex patterns carved on it. There is also a huge bronze mirror on the top of the tomb.

However, the bronze mirror was already rusty, eroded by something unknown, covered with black spots, and had a huge crack.

More importantly, there is also a huge straw rope outside Stone Coffin, which is already rotten and mixed with the white talisman hanging on it, exuding a rotten smell.

This smell is very similar to the Du family's.

Li Yan is absolutely sure that this matter is related to Wa Country people.

In the memory of the past life, the straw rope and white talisman seemed to be the sealing techniques used by the Wa Country people.

"Yan XiaoGe, look here!"

Sha LiFei turned to the other side of Stone Coffin and seemed to have discovered something, so he quickly called the two of them to watch.

Li Yan heard the words and went over, Sha LiFei flashed the torch.

The patterns on the coffin were filled with strange looking monsters. One of them, with a bird's head and a human body, was exactly the same as the monster they saw in the Du family.

Chinese characters are also engraved on the side: Yin Mo Luo Ghost.

Li Yan frowned slightly, "Daoist Master, I remember you once said that Yaoyai has two other names, Rakshasa Bird and Yin Mo Luo Ghost?"

"Hmm."

Wang Dao Xuan looked solemn and said, "Yin Mo Luo Ghost is the name in the Buddhist scriptures. Sure enough, there is something wrong. Ku Xin has been planning it for twenty years to cultivate this evil thing."

As he said that, he looked at the densely packed monsters above, with murderous intent rising in his eyes, "What are these?"

Kodama, Great Tengu, Yama Waro...

Looking at the familiar names above, memories of past lives came to mind. Li Yan shook his head and said, "I have vaguely heard of this thing. Wa Country people call it Hyakki Yagyō Zu."

"Hmph!"

Wang Dao Xuan looked bad, "How dare you, a small barbarian country, to cast curses and harm people in front of me? Go back and file a lawsuit against the Enforcement Hall, cut down mountains and destroy temples!"

After saying that, the three of them pushed the Stone Coffin cover away.

Accompanied by a heavy rubbing sound, the coffin lid was slowly opened, and there was actually a wooden coffin inside, but there was a big hole in the center of the coffin lid.

Not only that, the coffin lid was also full of decay, but the inside was empty. Funerary Objects, which was buried with it, had all been turned over in a mess. There was no valuable one, and the remaining porcelain pillows were all smashed.

"Oops!"

Sha LiFei exclaimed, "The local rat got it first!"

Wang Dao Xuan also felt dizzy, "What should we do? The body is gone, and there is no way to suppress Yaoyai."

"Not a country rat."

Li Yan shook his head, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "There are no such arrangements in the booklet Landlord Du gave. It is related to the fate of the Du family. He cannot mess around. He must have checked before sealing the tomb."

"These are all arranged later!"

Saying that, he pinched Yang Seal and took a deep breath. Various smells from the tomb poured into his nose. Li Yan suddenly turned around and came to the direction of Bagua Sun Position. Hidden Strength erupted and kicked out.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the stone wall there shattered, but it was only about an inch thick, and behind the stone wall, there was a dark cave.

Li Yan once again used the Paper Man to explore, and after confirming that there were no traps, he explored the road ahead, followed closely by Sha LiFei and Wang Dao Xuan.

The cave is very long, and many footprints can be seen underground.

After walking for several hundred meters, a wooden board appeared at the end of the cave. Li Yan stepped on it and kicked it.

Wow!

Silt and snow fell, and cold wind poured in.

Outside is the col on the other side of the hills.

Looking around, it was pitch black and vast snowfields.

Sha LiFei said helplessly, "The snow is too heavy and has covered the traces. Yan XiaoGe, can you smell it?"

In the howling wind and snow, Li Yan shook his head slightly, "The wind is too strong, even if there is any smell left, it has already been blown away."

The three of them stood there for a long time, but couldn't think of a way.

Wang Dao Xuan sighed, "That's all, let's go back first and see if there is any other way to suppress Evil Curse first."

"It turns out it was the Japanese who were responsible. Ask Landlord Du if he had any enmity with anyone. Maybe we can find the body..."

At this point, the three of them did not delay any longer, returned to find the horse, and headed towards GuoDu Town overnight...

Zi Hour has arrived, and everyone in the Du family has left.

They held torches and looked at the dark mansion from a distance.

The winter nights are cold, but the fear in my heart is even more terrifying.

Phew~

In the dark courtyard, in the area where the main room is located, a strong wind suddenly came, accompanied by the sound of tables, chairs and benches breaking.

It was noisy for a long time and then gradually calmed down.

Everyone in the Du family was trembling with fear, and Luo Faqing had already set up the Dharma altar, with Dharma flags placed upside down on the ground.

Looking at the darkness around him, murderous intent dimmed in his eyes.

What he awakened was Intent Mystical Power. This kind of Divine Ability is good at communicating with ghosts and gods. Many powerful witches and gods are also like this, but their ability to detect is also relatively weak.

Even so, Luo Faqing is very confident.

He can control three-headed ghosts and gods, and has reached the level of Third Floor. Even among Shang Mountain Dharma Lineage's disciples, he is still the best, so he was sent to Chang'an to assist Yue Fachong.

Although he couldn't pray for blessings to avoid disasters, he was still very confident about killing people.

Unknowingly, Zi Hour finally passed.

Everyone was shivering from the cold, but they did not dare to return to Du's house. They waited until after Yin hour (03 to 05 o'clock) before returning to Du's house with the consent of Luo Faqing.

When they came to the main hall and lit the candles, everyone's eyes widened.

I saw that all the paper figures were blackened and rotted, and their heads, chest and abdomen were all torn in a mess.

Looking at the scene in front of them, a chill rose in their hearts.

Steward Wang trembled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Suddenly he felt a chill on his back. He suddenly turned his head and took a look, and he stood stunned on the spot.

"Little... young master..."

Hearing his voice, everyone turned around quickly.

I saw a child standing in the dark yard at some point. He was covered in rags, no shoes, and his skin was purple and blue from the cold.

Standing in the courtyard, silently lowering his head.

"Son!"

Seeing their son's pitiful appearance, Du An and his wife suddenly lost control, cried loudly, and rushed out.

"Don't move, he is no longer a human!"

Luo Faqing shouted angrily, stopped everyone, and at the same time pinched Mystical Gestures, pulled out a paper charm, and threw it out suddenly.

In the eyes of everyone, the paper charm is just burning in the air.

However, a hot Gang Qi has surged out.

Click!

The child's head suddenly twisted in an abnormal posture, and then crawled in the snow like a spider, avoiding Luo Faqing's attack.

At this moment, everyone could see that this was not a human being.

Du An and his wife became weak and no longer had any fear. They only felt heartbroken and cried loudly.

Landlord Du also clenched his fists hard and had tears in his eyes.

The child didn't appear, so there was still a glimmer of hope, but now that he was like this, everyone knew that he was completely hopeless and had become a monster's puppet.

Swish, swish, swish!

The child was on his hands and knees, moving very fast, avoiding Luo Faqing, and at the same time, he seemed to want to rush into the main hall and harm others.

However, Luo Faqing is already Peak of Hidden Strength, and has good swordsmanship. At the same time, he pinches Mystical Gestures and picks up the seal on his waist.

He has seen that this child has become Walking Corpse.

It is not suitable to use ghosts and gods to deal with this kind of evil thing, and there is no time to summon it, but it is still far from breaking through his defense.

Bang!

Finally, it was the same method again.

The hilt of the French seal fencing sword, Walking Corpse, was struck several meters away by lightning.

This method is called Commander of Soldiers, Suppress Evil Sword, which is the ancient method of Qin Palace. It is a bit like Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin of Li Yan, but it is based on Gangsha Energy evil spirits.

After receiving this blow, little Walking Corpse was immediately unable to bear it. He climbed over the wall like a spider and fled into the dark snowy night...

"Don't make any noise!"

Listening to the cries around him, Luo Faqing shouted angrily, "If you want to find the real murderer, please be quiet!"

After that, he jumped into the courtyard, took out the Dharma flag and inserted it into the ground.

Phew~

In an instant, a stream of Yin Wind rose up and flew into the night sky.

I don't know how long it took, but Yin Wind appeared all around again, and magic weapons were flying around. Luo Faqing put away the magic flag and looked into the distance, thoughtfully.

"Daoist Luo, found it?"

Landlord Du asked quickly.

Luo Faqing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I already know the location. Don't fall into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Let's wait until Daoist Wang and the others come back..."

"Daoist Wang is back!"

Just after Si Hour (09:00 to 11:00), the three Li Yan who had traveled all night finally came back, all shivering with cold.

"Quick! Quick! Ginger soup!"

Steward Wang quickly brought someone to respond.

After two bowls of hot ginger soup, the three of them finally came back to their senses.

Sha LiFei cursed and said, "Damn it, it was a waste of time. We rushed back overnight because we were afraid something would happen."

Luo Faqing frowned, "It didn't work?"

Wang Dao Xuan nodded and looked to the side, "Landlord Du, have you ever had any enmity with the Japanese?"

"Japanese!"

Landlord Du was even more shocked, "I have never known any Japanese, and the person who set up the trap at that time had a handsome face and noble air. There is no way he was a Japanese slave."

"This is weird..."

Li Yan The three of them are also confused.

"The Japanese dare to come to Daxuan to cause trouble and seek death!"

Luo Faqing also slapped the table and stood up, not hiding his eyes murderous intent, "But it doesn't matter, no matter who is doing the trick, it doesn't matter."

"I tracked and found the demon's lair last night."

Li Yan's eyes lit up, "Oh, where is it?"

Luo Faqing looked into the distance, "It's in a valley near Xiangji Temple. You should have heard of that place."

"Xiangji Temple Nanbu."

"The old site of that war..."
