That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 645

In the Ming Mausoleum, Xu Beiyou looked at the million Yin soldiers in front of him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything after all.

These are not Yin soldiers on the ancient battlefield of Danxiazhai, who can be chopped down with just a few swords. These are millions of Yin soldiers. After forming a battle formation, they are almost indistinguishable from living people. The realm of the Eighth Floor of the Earth Immortal has been cultivated, and even the original energy of the Eighth Floor of the Earth Immortal has been exhausted, but here it is difficult to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to supplement its own energy, so Xu Beiyou has a body at the moment, but he has no energy. With half energy, he can't hold Zhu Xian, so it is obviously unrealistic to really fight with the eight swords in his hand.Taking a step back, even if he still has the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal, he would not dare to fight the enemy from the front, at most he would just walk away.

Just when Xu Beiyou didn't know what to do, the Yin soldiers in front of him separated layer by layer to make way in the middle, and then a black horse general came slowly from the direction of the Xiao character banner, and the sound of horseshoes knocked on the ground , exceptionally crisp and loud.

After getting closer, Xu Beiyou saw clearly that the whole body of the visitor was wrapped in a pair of black armor that was tightly stitched, leaving no gaps on the top and bottom. The helmet was attached with a visor, the wrist armor was attached with hand armor, and the waist buckle and shoulders were decorated with tigers. The head and the black gold teeth embedded on the boots are generally the same as the standard black armor worn by the left governor of the Daqi court.However, because this pair of mysterious armor is soaked with too much yin energy, there is no soaring blood energy tempered by the battle, but it is lifeless, producing a near-substantial thick black mist, which makes the general appear to be in the distance. Blurred, only the scarlet from the two eyes can be seen.

The general came to Xu Beiyou and asked condescendingly, "Who are you?"

The sound was not loud, but it echoed far away in this extremely silent space.

Xu Beiyou struggled to stand up and said calmly, "Jianzong, Xu Beiyou."

"A member of the Sword Sect?" Xuanjia General's tone revealed a hint of playfulness, "You opened the tomb of my emperor?"

Xu Beiyou was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the "my emperor" that this black-armored general spoke of was not Xiao Xuan, the current emperor, but Xiao Yu, the former emperor. In this way, he really entered the tomb of the former emperor Xiao Huang Now, as for why the "person" in front of him said that he opened the mausoleum, Xu Beiyou also guessed. At this time, there were only Zhu Xian and the Eight Swords in the sword box, but there was no Shuangtian Xiaojiao. Qingchen insisted on letting him accept the sword at the Hanshui Buddhist Temple, and Qingchen disappeared inexplicably at the critical moment of today's battle. He already understood in his heart that the No. 1 of the divinity faction did not want to open the emperor's tomb by himself, and be contaminated with unnecessary karma , and only then borrowed his own hand, so Qing Chen is probably already in the imperial mausoleum at this time.

After trying to figure out the cause and effect, Xu Beiyou didn't rush to answer General Xuanjia's question, but instead asked, "Who are you, sir? Where is this place?"

This general didn't seem to have much hostility towards Xu Beiyou, he said with a light smile, "My general's surname is Zhang, and his name is Haijiu. As for this place, it is the tomb of my emperor, that is, the Ming Mausoleum."

Xu Beiyou's face changed slightly. This place was Mingling, which did not surprise him, but the identity of the "person" in front of him surprised him greatly.

Zhang Haijiu, No. 19 in Lingyan Pavilion's hero ranking, Feng Zhuguo, Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, and Lu Guogong.As far as Xu Beiyou knew, Zhang Haijiu had been dead for many years, so how could he appear here?Is it true that, as the rumors say, all the old minions of Emperor Xiao will be buried in the Ming Mausoleum after death, becoming ghost generals and continuing to defend the emperor?
If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that Xiao Huang will be the emperor of the underworld! ?

Xu Beiyou was shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhang Haijiu said: "Since you can skip the first few floors of the mausoleum and come here directly, then you should be the one who opened the mausoleum without a doubt."

Xu Beiyou asked, "So what?"

Zhang Haijiu said with a smile: "You are the one who opened the mausoleum, that is the one who is destined, please follow the general to go there."

Xu Beiyou looked around, his eyes were full of black-armored Yin soldiers, and he was no longer in the realm of the eighteenth floor of the Immortal Immortal, so he would inevitably bow his head under the eaves.

But then again, bowing your head in the mausoleum of the founding emperor of Qi is not something to be ashamed of.

Next, Xu Beiyou was wrapped in the billowing black armor and walked deep into the mausoleum.

The mausoleum has its own mysterious means of hiding Xumi Yu mustard seeds. I don't know how big it is. The mausoleum on the floor where Xu Beiyou is located is filled with a thin layer of mist. Although it is not too eerie, it also blocks sight and vision. Reading, people are in it, it is difficult to discern the direction, after walking for a long time, Xu Beiyou still does not know where he is going at this time.

Since he couldn't see it, Xu Beiyou decided to settle down as soon as he came, and stopped thinking too much about it, and began to think about the current situation instead.

In his opinion, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor held the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven without fear, even though he knew that a strong enemy was coming, was mostly because of this mausoleum. If he can't do anything, he can retreat into the Ming Mausoleum. With the planning of the late emperor, even if the world's No. 1 Qiuye came here in a hurry, he wouldn't be able to get half of it.

Xu Beiyou was not too surprised by this. Anyway, when the first emperor was alive, he was not as restrictive as His Majesty the current emperor. Even the King of Wei and the King of Grassland did not dare to disobey in the slightest. They used the power of the whole country to build such a Mausoleums naturally have all kinds of mysteries and mysteries that ordinary people can't imagine, and it would be abnormal if they didn't have them.From this point of view, Emperor Xiao had a big plan back then, probably far from being as simple as the Ming Tomb he saw now, and Qing Chen should know something, so he followed the trend. On the contrary, the round of fighting between His Majesty the Emperor and the King of Wei was temporarily unresolved. Can't see much.

Xu Beiyou recalled that when Master told him about Emperor Xiao and this Ming Tomb, Master said intentionally or unintentionally: Xiao Yu wanted to be the Emperor of Longevity, but it was a pity that heaven would not tolerate it, so he could only take a step back.Later, the master added another sentence: Xiao Xuan wants to accomplish a feat that even Xiao Yu failed to accomplish, but even if he is the emperor, it is not so easy.

Now it seems that they were all caught in the words of the master.

Later, Xu Beiyou curiously asked his master whether Xiao Huang was not dead, but was actually hiding in the Meishan imperial tomb?Master did not give an answer at that time, but instead asked him: What is life and what is death?When Xu Beiyou first embarked on the path of cultivating Taoism, he didn't know how to answer this kind of question, so he could only honestly say that he didn't know.

Gongsun Zhongmou said with a smile, I will tell you after you figure out the difference between life and death.It's a pity that until Gongsun Zhongmou passed away after the Battle of Biyou Island, Xu Beiyou couldn't figure out what counted as life and death.

Today, after Xu Beiyou saw Zhang Haijiu, who was full of lifeless spirit, he suddenly understood what the master asked about life and death at the beginning. The question is, what counts as death?
Just like the Zhang Haijiu in front of Xu Beiyou's eyes, he was lifeless and lifeless, but other than that, he was no different from a living person, so should he be considered a living person at this time?Or dead?
