Chapter 336 The Ancient Tomb Appears

"Iron Dome?"

Wang Lao Bie frowned and cupped his hands and said, "Third Master Chen is an old senior and has a lot of experience. Can you give me some advice?"

Third Master Chen didn't want to say more, but seeing everyone's attention, he had no choice but to say, "I only know about this thing when I accidentally met Treasure Hunter from Mystery Seeking Lineage."

"In the method of building tombs, powerful people must pay attention to the right time, location, and harmony. The more they occupy, the more skillful they will be."

"The so-called harmony means to find skilled craftsmen or Daoist magicians and arrange them according to their respective levels."

"But the geographical location is not simple anymore. Finding the dragon's acupoints and choosing the best treasure land are just the basics. A powerful person can also transform the special terrain to make it difficult for ordinary people to enter."

"It is mentioned in the "Shui Jing" that when King Goujian of Yue moved the capital to Langya, he planned to move his father Yun Chang's mausoleum to the north. But when he opened the tomb, a strong wind suddenly surged inside, and sand flew and shot people.

Not to mention going in, you can't even get close. After waiting for a long time, the wind and sand showed no intention of stopping, so I had to give up..."

"There are also some traps surrounded by yellow sand. One section is dug and another section is dug. It never stops and there is no way to get in. This is called Wind-Sand Grave."

"I have personally seen a kind of Hidden Fire Grave. As soon as a shovel was put down, phosphorus fire suddenly burst out. There were countless casualties at the time, but they still didn't get in..."

"This type of treasure cave is based on the five elements. If you want to crack it, you can only know a special way to deal with it."

Wang Lao Bie This was the first time I heard this statement, and I was immediately interested, "What's the meaning of that day?"

Third Master Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know too much about this, but I just heard from Treasure Hunter that occupying the acupoint of heaven and time is nothing short of taking over the creation of heaven and earth. It can be called Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique."

"It can't be found on ordinary days. It only appears at special times, such as Sun Moon Star changes, the cycle of four seasons, wind, frost, rain and snow."

"It's useless to think too much. If you have a chance to encounter this kind of person in the future, listen to my advice, turn around and leave, and don't get close!"

"Third Master Chen is indeed very knowledgeable!"

Wang Lao Bie sighed, and then asked, "According to what Third Master Chen said, is this 'Iron Dome' borrowing the power of the five elements of gold?"

"Hmm."

Third Master Chen looked around and said with a headache, "The so-called 'Iron Dome' means that there are metal veins around the treasure cave, which are solidified using a special method to form a layer of shielding."

"To break it open requires a lot of manpower. Even if explosives are used, it will probably take ten and a half days."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Wrong."

Wang Lao Bie suddenly shook his head and said, "If there is 'Iron Dome' blocking it, the tomb should be airtight. How could Tomb Guardian Beast escape and hurt people?"

As he said that, he turned to look at the people following the Bai family and asked, "Where did you meet Tomb Guardian Beast?"

One of the men replied, "It's over there."

He said, pointing to the river bank in the distance, "At that time, we scattered and searched. When we heard the shouts, we hurriedly came to support. But when we arrived, everyone was dead and bitten and mutilated."

Wang Lao Bie narrowed his eyes slightly, "How are you sure it's Tomb Guardian Beast? It wasn't bitten by another beast?"

Another man said, "That thing moved very fast. When I arrived, it had already gotten into the water."

"I didn't see what it was exactly, I just vaguely saw that it was very large, with long hair all over its body, and a broken chain hanging on its tail..."

"Water in?"

Third Master Chen's eyes lit up, he immediately took out his compass, observed, and walked towards the river bank.

On the compass, the needle immediately became unstable.

Sometimes it spins rapidly and sinks, and sometimes it returns to normal.

When he reached the shore and even jumped into the water for a while, he suddenly realized it, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"I understand!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked ahead Liangzi Lake.

"When Wu Youxu and Wang Su built the tomb, Gaochang County had not yet collapsed. The original terrain should have been that the county seat was in the center, surrounded by large and small lakes and rivers."

"This tomb is Gold-Water Tomb. Half of it is covered by an iron dome, and half of the passage is left in the water. After all, Wang Su just wants to leave Mechanism Arts for future generations, not to bury it forever."

"However, Earth Dragon Turning Over and Gaochang County sank into the lake, and the tomb was damaged, so Tomb Guardian Beast escaped."

"The entrance to the tomb is in the lake!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and said urgently to the people sent by the Bai family, "Quick, go to the village to find more boats, and first find the entrance to the passage on the lake."

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

When the people sent by the Bai family heard this, they quickly ran to the village.

After they left, Third Master Chen's eyes immediately turned gloomy and he whispered, "Be careful, these people want to sacrifice us to the tomb."

Wang Lao Bie is better at Divide Gold and Determine Location. After being pointed out by Third Master Chen, the doubts in his mind were immediately cleared. He nodded and said, "Third Master Chen is right."

"This tomb is intertwined with gold and water. Since there is a Mohist Mechanism Arts, many of the mechanisms inside must be driven by water."

"Originally, there was still a glimmer of hope, but now that we are separated by gold and water, we are probably in a desperate situation, and we can only fill it with human lives."

"That Tomb Guardian Beast alone is difficult to deal with."

Third Master Chen thought thoughtfully, then there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "The background of these people is definitely not simple, but they still have a very good idea to trick us in the tomb."

"Come here, I have a plan..."

When the Bai family spies came back, the Maitreya Sect sacrificial ceremony in the village had ended. Men, women, old and young were all busy with their own affairs, and there was no enthusiasm at all.

"Did they find out?"

Bai Weng Hai didn't seem surprised at all after hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "These people really have some ideas. Maybe they can really find the entrance and send all the boats in the village there."

"Also, gather all the people and prepare the guys. Once you find the entrance, follow me to the tomb!"

"Yes, Hall Master!"

With an order, the whole Bai He Wan immediately became lively.

Every household in the village started to take action.

Every household, regardless of gender, old or young, took out a piece of yellow talisman and tied it on their arm. Some carried swords, some carried hoes, and their eyes became fanatical again.

And Bai Weng Hai came to the backyard.

Temple Keeper Wu and Bai Blacksmith are bowing to the Maitreya statue in the house.

"You two, the time has come!"

Bai Weng Hai's eyes were full of excitement, "They have found the entrance. Divine Embryo that the monk said must be inside."

Temple Keeper Wu's voice was also trembling, "Can that thing really bring King Ming to the world?"

"It should be right."

Bai Weng Hai suppressed his excitement and said, "Those people are the remnants of Golden Horde Wolf Country. Their people were looking for the old tomb and died in the ghost town, and Divine Embryo was also left behind."

"Now that times have changed, they have little power in Divine Land, so they set their sights on me, Maitreya Sect."

"Hmph, what Dakini, if you have this opportunity, you might as well leave it to Prince Ming!"

"Branch Master How are the preparations over there?"

Temple Keeper Wu heard this and quickly replied, "Branch Master They have already set up the altar. We are just waiting for us to find something before we can invite King Ming to come."

"Okay!"

Bai Weng Hai's eyes were also bloodshot, and he looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, "It's going to rain, and the ghost town will reappear. This time, no matter what the cost, we must succeed!"

"Elder Wu, just stay outside the village and wait for the Shen family to find an opportunity to take them to the tomb."

"To awaken Divine Embryo, the more sacrifices, the better!"

Rumble!

There was another thunder, and the sky became darker and darker.

The strong wind blew through the mountain forest, and the leaves swayed wildly.

Soon, huge raindrops fell from the sky, making a crackling sound on the leaves. In just a few breaths, the heavy rain started pouring down.

Jiujiu tweeted!

Little birds shuttled through the rain, and then landed on the branches, shaking their bodies to shake off the raindrops.

"No more."

Lu San turned around and said helplessly to Li Yan: "The rain is too heavy, these little guys can't fly very far."

Li Yan asked quickly, "What's going on over there?"

"I only know that Bai He Wan dispatched a large number of small boats to meet those tomb robbers. The rest cannot be seen clearly."

"Other animals can't detect it?"

"Too far away, the snake and rat can't respond in time."

"Where's your falcon?"

"These little guys have become spiritual. The sun and thunder are blazing in the sky. They are so scared that the eagles dare not fly at all."

Li Yan looked down after hearing this.

Sure enough, Little White Fox shivered in the thunder and hid under Lu San. Even the falcon and Rat One Rat Two looked at the sky with fear in their eyes.

This is the trouble after spiritual advancement.

The smarter you are, the more you fear the thunder from the sky.

Especially some monsters are filled with Gangsha Energy. If they are not careful, or if they practice at a critical moment, they will be struck by thunder.

Li Yan shook his head slightly and walked to the hill.

In the rain curtain, the huge Liangzi Lake looked more and more blurred. The water surface was hit by billions of raindrops. When the water splashes collided, it seemed like countless schools of fish were boiling.

"Let's get closer."

Li Yan said in a deep voice, "These Maitreya Sect disciples are a little weird. I'm afraid they are planning something big. Speaking of which, the 'Wan Yan' that Giant Turtle Master said also appeared in this area."

"Let's observe from a distance and act accordingly."

After that, he took Lu San and Wu Ba along the woods in the heavy rain, and gradually converged towards the area where the tomb robbers were.

On the lake shore and the river, small boats spread out.

On each ship, there are Wang Lao Bie's men, holding compasses to observe, and the ships are cruising in all directions, not sparing any area.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, someone on one of the boats exclaimed.

The other ships quickly approached him.

Wang Lao Bie jumped up and landed on the ship, then took out his compass, but saw that the pointer on it no longer rotated, but only jumped up and down in one place.

"Right here!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Lao Bie's eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to Bai Weng Hai on the other boat and said, "Chief Bai, the entrance is below. I'm not good at water, so I need you to take action."

What he said was, of course, nonsense.

Third Master Chen's people are from Yuzhou, so it makes sense that they are not good at water. However, Wang Lao Bie is from Xiangzhou, and there are many graves in the water. How can he not be good at water?

It's entirely necessary to let Bai He Wan's people take the risk first.

Bai Weng Hai's eyes were obviously unhappy and he said coldly, "Why did Brother Wang say this? Could it be that he doesn't trust me?"

Even so, he still nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll go into the water first to show my sincerity."

After saying that, he nodded to the side.

Thump thump!

Immediately, three people jumped into the water without hesitation.

"Clan Chief Bai is too worried."

Wang Lao Bie smiled awkwardly, his eyes full of solemnity.

The situation below is unclear, and there is also the threat of Tomb Guardian Beast. Even if he personally gives the order, his disciples will probably have to wait for a long time.

But this person Bai He Wan didn't hesitate at all.

They say they are villagers, but they look more like dead soldiers!

But he was right about one thing. These Bai He Wan people live near a lake, and their water quality is indeed better than the last.

The three people who jumped into the water had sharp knives stuck in their waists, their eyes widened, and they used their hands and feet to sink quickly towards the bottom of the water.

It is not far from the shore, and you can see it when you enter the water. The hills on the shore continue to sink as the lake extends, as if the mountains are half submerged in water.

The bottom of the lake is about ten meters away from the water surface. Boulders of all sizes are scattered, uneven, and covered with sand. The terrain is very complex.

Coupled with the water plants all over the lake, if the tomb robbers hadn't found the exact location, no one would have believed that this was the entrance.

The three of them held their breath and looked around at the bottom of the lake.

Soon, a discovery was made.

I saw a sunken area under a few huge raised rocks, like a cave.

As they approached, the water at the bottom of the lake rippled, stirring up a cloud of mud and sand, revealing a huge head.

The three of them were startled, and their hands and feet were thrashing around.

When they saw it clearly, it was a false alarm.

It turned out to be the head of Stone Wengzhong. Most of the body was covered by mud and sand, and only the head was exposed at the entrance of the cave.

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the three people, and they gestured to each other, and one of them immediately went upstream to inform.

The remaining two people carefully swam into the cave.

This stone cave is not big, about three meters wide and two meters high. After swimming in for less than three or four meters, I found that the cave was blocked.

What blocked the entrance of the cave was not rocks, but a wall. The light below was dim, and they could only see that the wall was covered with water plants.

One of them took out a sharp knife from his waist and stabbed it, trying to test how thick the wall was.

However, a chill arose in his heart.

As the knife was inserted, a stream of black juice spurted out, and then the "wall" began to move slowly...

Wow!

"Clan leader, found it!"

The person who reported the news emerged from the water, his eyes full of excitement.

"Found it?"

Bai Weng Hai was immediately overjoyed, "What's going on next?"

The person who reported the news replied, "There is a cave, not big, and we also found a Stone Wengzhong..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone around him saw their eyes widening.

The person who reported the news instinctively sensed something was wrong and turned around quickly.

Only then did he realize that there was a large amount of blood gushing out of the water around him, and he could feel the fierce current under his feet.

Hululu!

Before he could react, he felt a pain in his body and suddenly sank into the water, and his consciousness disappeared.

On the water, blood flowers surged, and a huge shadow swam rapidly below.

"Quick, spread out!"

Wang Lao Bie exclaimed, and then a chill rose up on his back.

Without saying a word, Hidden Strength exploded under his feet, jumped into the air, and jumped onto a ship in the distance.

Boom!

Behind him, huge water waves arose, and a small boat turned into pieces, with broken limbs and arms flying around...

The second is later
