That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 650 There Are Mountains of Gold and Silver in the Tomb

At this time, Xu Beiyou followed the yin general who claimed to be Zhang Haijiu and entered the lower level of the mausoleum. Xu Beiyou didn't know which level of the mausoleum this was, but it seemed to be much smaller than the upper level, and the scene here was denser than the upper level. Even weirder.

But anyway, the entire Ming Tomb is so weird and unpredictable, and it’s not bad. Xu Beiyou watched from side to side in the army of Yin soldiers. The guards in the Ming Tomb are destined not to be limited to these Yin soldiers. I believe there are many other means. , and this place is different from the outside world, with strong Yin Qi and thin vitality. If Yin soldiers and Yin generals are like fish in water, but for normal monks, it is like ordinary people holding their breath in water. It is nothing more than the length of time they persist. In such an environment, after all, it is a drowning ending.

At this moment, Xu Beiyou could faintly feel that Yin Qi was constantly infiltrating into his body, slowly wearing away his lifespan. Although this kind of wear-off was almost negligible in a short period of time, if the time went by, water dripping through stones, sitting on mountains and eating mountains and empty space, would be the earth. The great cultivator on the eighteenth floor of the immortal can't bear it either.

Zhang Haijiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "My emperor's mausoleum is divided into nine floors. Now we are on the fifth floor. This floor stores a lot of unimportant burial objects, mostly yellow and white jewels, and many tomb robbers." A place where thieves want to visit."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "How can there be such a powerful tomb robber in this world who can break in here."

Zhang Haijiu didn't say yes or no, just laughed it off.

At this moment, a gust of dark wind suddenly blew through, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of ghost cries, blowing a big flag with the character "Xiao" fluttering, making Xu Beiyou's body feel cold, but it also blew the surrounding mist away. There were quite a few scattered, and as far as Xu Beiyou could see, there were indeed mountains of gold and silver that were tens of feet high.

After a short shock, Xu Beiyou asked, "Why does Emperor Xiao want these gold and silver to be placed in his tomb? If they are placed in the treasury outside, they will be of great use whether they are used for the people or for military and state affairs. Would you rather sleep here?"

Zhang Haijiu asked flatly: "At the beginning, my emperor separated the national treasury from the internal treasury. All the expenses of the royal family were taken from the internal treasury, and the treasury was not used. These gold and silver are originally stored in the internal treasury. Why should they be included in the national treasury?"

Xu Beiyou frowned, and said, "Even if it is not included in the national treasury, shouldn't it be kept in the internal treasury?"

Zhang Haijiu said calmly: "This is none of your business."

After Xu Beiyou glanced over these mountains of gold and silver, he turned to ask, "Where are we going?"

Zhang Haijiu didn't answer, and turned a blind eye to the countless gold and silver wealth flooding around, and walked straight forward.

That’s right, people who are covered with dry bones in iron clothes are already dead, or in a state of immortality, what’s the use of these yellow and white things?

Xu Beiyou withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to these things outside his body, but turned to look inside himself, and then he felt a little helpless from the bottom of his heart.

Leaping into the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth fairy looks very majestic, but there are gains and losses, and it is inevitable to pay some price.The last time Xu Beiyou climbed to the top of the Dixian [-]th Floor outside Jiangdu City, the price he paid was that he lost a full sixty years of life, as evidenced by his full head of white hair.This time, he climbed to the top of the [-]th Floor of the Earth Immortal, and he also paid a heavy price. Leaving aside the potential hidden dangers, the most intuitive point is that his own Earth Immortal Eighth Floor Qi machine has been completely exhausted. The sea is likened to a big lake and a marsh. The original air mechanism could barely cover the bottom of the lake, but now it is completely dry, exposing the sediment at the bottom of the lake.

As for whether he can recover, Xu Beiyou is not too sure, so he can only take one step at a time.

Zhang Haijiu rode his horse and walked side by side with Xu Beiyou, the yin qi rolled all over his body, Xu Beiyou couldn't help but look a little sideways, this yin general was actually constantly absorbing the yin qi in the mausoleum for his own use, exactly the same as monks absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth for their own use, but This is also reasonable, the vitality of heaven and earth is no different from poison to yin things, and the same is true for yin qi to living people, each of which has its own way, different ways, but the same goal.

But there was one thing Xu Beiyou didn't want to understand, and asked directly: "According to the logic, the tomb is isolated from the world, it should be a pool of stagnant water, no matter how much Yin Qi there is, there will be an end, but why do I feel that the Yin Qi in the tomb is almost endless? , seems to be active water?"

This question does not seem to be a confidential matter, Zhang Haijiu did not hesitate and explained directly: "It is not unreasonable to build the mausoleum with nine floors. It is said that nine is the extreme number, such as Jiuyou or Jiutian. In this way, when my emperor built the nine-storey mausoleum, the purpose was to lead directly to the Jiuyou Biluo, so you are right to think that the Yin Qi is endless, and its source is the underworld to which people go after death."

Xu Beiyou was shocked beyond words.

Zhang Haijiu's tone was flat, "I will not hide it from you, but now I am an inhuman being, feeding on the yin qi of the Nine Netherworld. As long as the yin qi is not exhausted, my body will be immortal.

Xu Beiyou calmed down, and said softly: "Eternal life is long, you can see it all over the world, a world is still small, not to mention it is such a dark place, such a long life is not worth it."

Zhang Haijiu nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. When people in the world seek longevity, there are usually two characters after the word longevity. It should mean longevity and happiness. If they only want longevity but not freedom, then life is worse than death. There is no such thing as death." What is there to envy, as my emperor said back then, it is better to be an emperor than to live forever."

Xu Beiyou laughed dumbly and said, "But judging from the present, it seems that the late emperor has not given up on the idea of ​​longevity."

Zhang Haijiu seemed to have known what Xu Beiyou would say, and asked, "Nowadays the world belongs to Daqi, who is the emperor of Daqi?"

Xu Beiyou said: "The current Emperor Daqi is His Majesty Taiping."

Zhang Haijiu calmly said: "That's it. You also called the first emperor just now. As early as 20 years ago, my emperor was no longer the co-lord of the world."

Xu Beiyou asked suddenly: "Grandpa Zhang, are you going to take Xu to see the late emperor?"

Zhang Haijiu shook his head and said, "My emperor is still in the coffin."

Xu Beiyou asked doubtfully, "Isn't the first emperor like you?"

Zhang Haijiu seemed to like to ask rhetorical questions very much, and asked again: "Who told you?"

So Xu Beiyou was speechless again.

Zhang Haijiu said: "This place is not completely isolated from the world. Although we can't get out and others can't get in before the opening of the imperial mausoleum, news from the outside will still come in through special channels. For example, you are the wife of Her Highness the Princess." My son-in-law is also the third son-in-law of Daqi."

Xu Beiyou had mixed feelings, "Then you also know about the changes in the Circular Mound Altar?"

Zhang Haijiu sneered and said, "I can roughly know that King Wei and King Grassland are still traitors."

Xu Beiyou was about to speak.

Zhang Haijiu raised his hand suddenly, the whole army stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere condensed.

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Haijiu said in a cold voice: "The first floor of the mausoleum has been breached, and the second floor is also in danger. They are already heading for the entrance of the third floor."

Xu Beiyou asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

Zhang Haijiu said in a low voice: "Two big monks from the eighteenth floor of the Earth Immortal."
