Chapter 165 Ancient Tomb
"senior."

Qin Xuan hesitated upon hearing this, "The thousand-year-old ancient tomb you mentioned is located in Jiangjun Mountain northwest of Huarong City. It is too far away from here. I originally planned to search the ancient tombs one by one in order."

"If that doesn't work, go to Jiangjun Mountain. After all, the distance between there and Huarong City is too far, at least four to five hundred miles away."

"Ha ha!"

In his consciousness, Wang Tudi responded with a smile, "It's a little far, but it's better than trying your luck by continuing to look for these ordinary tombs, right? Are you really sure that these ordinary tombs, with their insufficient Yin Qi, Can we breed two kinds of exotic herbs and fruits, namely Qingxin grass and Spirit-quenching fruit?"

"This……"

Qin Xuan suddenly began to ponder.

Wang Tutu's words made him fall into deep thought.

After a while, he seemed to have figured it out, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Just follow what the senior said and go directly to Jiangjun Mountain!"

After finishing speaking, he looked towards the northwest, took out a map and compared it.

Then, Qin Xuan quickly deployed his body skills and fled directly towards the northwest.

※※※

Jiangjun Mountain in the northwest of Huarong City looks extremely desolate and full of chilling atmosphere.

It is said that this mountain was the site of an ancient battlefield in ancient times.

The bones of ancient soldiers may be dug up anywhere in the valley or underground.

But the most famous one is the general's tomb in this mountain.

It is said that a general from 1000 years ago is hidden in the ancient tomb.

Even the name of the mountain was named after this general.

The general's tomb is located on a cliff on the mountain. The stone wall was opened up and an ancient stone cave was dug out, which was used directly as the tomb.

The cave is equipped with mechanisms.

Especially at the entrance of the cave, there is a huge dragon stone blocking it.

This dragon stone weighs tens of thousands of kilograms and can be opened using a mechanism.

It is said that when the general built this cave, he did not intend it to be used as a tomb, but because his enemies were too powerful.

I hope to use this cave to lead the enemy into the cave if they are defeated, put down the dragon stone, and die together with the enemy.

It was only later that this cave was not used and became the general's ancient tomb.

However, the mechanism of this dragon stone is quite hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find the location of the mechanism.

In addition, in the ancient tomb, because of that general, there were too many killings during his lifetime.

So much so that after his death, an extremely strong evil spirit condensed in his ancient tomb.

The evil spirit is serious and has the ability to destroy the vitality of living people. It is said that if ordinary people are contaminated even a little bit, their vitality will be destroyed and they will die immediately.

It is precisely because of the existence of this evil spirit that under normal circumstances, few people dare to approach the location of the general's tomb.

However, today, there is something special.

In the distance, a figure was escaping towards the location of the general's tomb at an extremely fast speed.

This person's speed is too fast. He is obviously not in the ordinary Qi training realm, but at least in the Huayuan realm.

With the use of body skills, I just saw the figure at first, but in the blink of an eye, this person was directly in front of the general's tomb stone cave.

Upon hearing this, the man quickly looked at the mountain wall with concentration.

Even, in the end, he took out a piece of white cloth from his body, opened it, and compared some patterns on the white cloth that were clearly a map with the stone wall.

After about ten minutes, the man's face suddenly flashed with joy.

Then he quickly put away the white cloth, jumped into the air, and immediately arrived at a huge boulder platform halfway up the stone wall.

After standing still, Qin Xuan immediately looked around on the platform.

Finally, very soon, he saw a round stone pillar over a foot high at the lower left side of the platform, close to the stone wall.

The stone pillar was surrounded by all kinds of thorns and weeds, almost covering the stone pillar, so that it took Qin Xuan some time to search.

However, after seeing the stone pillar, joy flashed across his face.

Then, he squatted down directly, stretched out his hands, grasped the stone pillar tightly, grabbed the stone pillar, and spun it hard.

The stone pillar was rotated, and strangely, the sound of a squeaking mechanism suddenly came from inside the mountain wall.

Immediately afterwards, obvious cracks appeared on the mountain wall quickly.

However, the cracks were smooth and flat, and it was obvious at first glance that they were man-made.

The appearance of the cracks just outlines the shape of a stone door.

As the mechanism rotated, the stone door slowly rose upwards, and finally, it rose to the top and stopped.

Then, a dark stone cave appeared, which looked very deep.

Qin Xuan stood at the door, observing the cave.

After a moment, he seemed to have made a decision, raised his feet and walked directly into the cave.

However, as soon as he entered, Qin Xuan suddenly felt that his eyes were burning and stinging.

At the same time, there was a strong feeling of discomfort all over the body.

Especially his own true vitality, which actually felt like it was being corroded.

It's evil spirit!
Qin Xuan was taken aback.

At this time, I discovered that with the light coming from outside the cave, I could see clearly that the air inside the cave was actually blood red.

This blood-red air is floating in the air, constantly wandering.

After Qin Xuan came in, it immediately invaded his body, irritating his body and eyes, making him feel uncomfortable.

However, after a period of discomfort and discovering that it was evil spirit, Qin Xuan immediately calmed down.

After hurriedly gathering his mind, he immediately circulated his true energy.

Under the movement of true energy, the erosion of the body by the evil spirit disappeared immediately.

However, my eyes still felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, suddenly, the creaking sound of the machine sounded again, and the stone door was falling rapidly.

This stone door will fall automatically?

Qin Xuan was slightly startled.

But after a while, he calmed down.

Inside the cave, at the edge of the cave entrance, he saw another stone pillar.

This stone pillar is obviously better preserved than those outside. There are no plants such as vines and weeds around the stone pillar.

The stone gate fell quickly.

Qin Xuan's eyes quickly darkened.

The entire cave suddenly fell into darkness.

As a result, Qin Xuan couldn't see anything immediately.

This immediately startled him again.

You know, he has spiritual eyes through cultivation, and after a monk reaches the Transformation Realm, his eyesight is so strong that seeing in the dark is no problem at all.

However, he could not see anything in this cave.

Why is this cave so weird?
However, Qin Xuan soon understood the reason.

suffocating.

In the cave, the strong evil spirit seriously affects people's sight, and it also destroys people's ability to see in the dark.

Qin Xuan's eyes condensed and he directed a stream of true energy directly towards his eyes.

Insight!
Theoretically speaking, using this technique, even evil spirits can be seen through.

However, before his insight technique started to work, light suddenly slowly brightened in the cave.

It's weak, but it seems very constant.

This made Qin Xuan slightly shocked.

However, the next moment, he realized what the light was.It's a night pearl.

There is a luminous pearl in the cave.

Just now, when light came in from the outside world, the luminous pearl did not light up.

At this moment, the light from the outside world disappeared, and the night pearl slowly lit up.

The light of the night pearl is a little weak.

However, the items in the cave were still illuminated enough for people to see.

At this time, Qin Xuan didn't have time to go deeper into the cave to see the luminous pearl or something.

His gaze still fell on the stone pillar.

He reached out and touched the stone pillar gently.

After a while, Qin Xuan tried to turn the stone pillar.

The pillars rotate.

The sound of the machine turning came again, and the stone door slowly rose again to the top.

Qin Xuan nodded.

At this time, the light from the outside came in, and the light from the luminous pearl disappeared again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Xuan took the opportunity to look at Shimen.

The stone gate is huge and very heavy.At least thirty or forty centimeters thick.

And its material is obviously an extremely hard stone type.

It is still difficult to destroy such a huge boulder.

Even Qin Xuan, who was in the Huayuan realm at this time, was unlikely to be able to do it.

He even doubted that if he wanted to destroy this huge stone, he would have to be at least a strong person in the vitality realm to be able to do this.

However, although the boulder is hard, it is difficult to break.

But look at its weight, combined with the introduction on the map about the weight of this stone gate.

Qin Xuan felt that even if the stone gate had no mechanism, he could still open the stone gate with his own strength.

It's just that it will definitely take some time.

At this point, Qin Xuan was finally relieved.

In this way, even if something unexpected happens, you don't have to worry about being trapped in this cave.

Turn around and walk towards the cave.

There was a creaking sound, the machine turned, and the stone door slowly fell again.

In the cave, absolute darkness returned again.

However, before Qin Xuan could use the Insight Technique, the brilliance of the Night Pearl shone slightly, illuminating the cave.

Under the light of the night pearl, Qin Xuan felt much more at ease, and took the opportunity to use this light to look into the cave.

This cave is not big.

Except for a sarcophagus in the middle, there is a bead the size of an egg inlaid at the top of the cave.

This bead is constantly shining with faint brilliance, illuminating the cave.

And with the light emitted by the night pearl, Qin Xuan looked around and saw some stone pillars and huge boulders.

So much so that this cave, which is not very big, looks a bit crowded.

But these are obviously not what Qin Xuan cares about.

What he cares most about is the Heart-clearing Grass and Spirit-Quenching Fruit that he is looking for on this trip.

You looked around and searched around the cave.

After a moment, Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly condensed, and joy quickly appeared on his face.

Around the cave, on the edge of the stone wall, and in the gaps, he immediately saw some emerald green long-leaf grasses about two or three inches long.

On the stone wall of this cave, among the gaps in the stone wall, there are some plants with leaf-like leaves growing out of them.

The plant hangs upside down like a vine.

In the middle of its disc-shaped leaves, you can see crystal clear fruits the size of cherries.

Some of the fruits have turned red, apparently overripe.

Heart-clearing grass and spirit-quenching fruit!
Qin Xuan felt suddenly happy.

As expected of a thousand-year-old tomb, he actually found all the two kinds of exotic herbs and fruits he needed.

Moreover, according to the amount of these two kinds of exotic fruits and herbs in this ancient tomb, it is more than enough for my own use.

Overjoyed, Qin Xuan immediately took steps towards the stone wall.

I plan to pick exotic herbs and fruits, and then leave this ancient tomb.

However, I have only taken a few steps.

Qin Xuan suddenly thought of something, his body trembled and he suddenly stopped.

Something seems wrong?
Realizing something was wrong, he suddenly turned his head and looked directly at the sarcophagus in the center of the stone chamber.

At this look, Qin Xuan's whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Just now, when I came in, I was busy looking for exotic fruits and herbs, and I didn't even notice anything unusual about the sarcophagus.

Now, after careful inspection, Qin Xuan's whole body and mind could not help but be frightened.

This sarcophagus is actually open.

There was a mummy placed on top of the sarcophagus.

The mummy was wearing shining golden armor, and there was even a sword on its waist.

Although the zombie is already a mummy, it can still be seen that it was strong and tall in life.

General?
Which general from thousands of years ago?

Who took the general's body out of the sarcophagus?

Qin Xuan's heart was trembling.

Immediately afterwards, another problem was discovered.

The general's body was actually covered in blood.

At this time, the blood, which had not even dried yet, was slowly seeping into the general's body.

And with the penetration of blood, the general's corpse showed signs of becoming full from a mummy.

Making a corpse?

Could this be making zombies?
Qin Xuan's body suddenly shook violently.

Suddenly, I thought of some kind of record in Taoist books.

The scene in front of me is clearly some kind of method used by evil heretics to create zombies?

Someone is using the general's corpse to create zombies?
In this cave?
Qin Xuan's heart suddenly became cold.

Although I don’t know who made the zombies using the general’s corpse in the cave.

However, the zombies produced from thousand-year-old corpses are at least at the peak of the Huayuan Realm or even the Yuanqi Realm.

How powerful should an evil heretic be who can create zombies at the peak of the Huayuan Realm or even at the Yuanqi Realm level?

Qin Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank violently.

At that moment, he immediately turned his head, quickened his pace, and walked towards the stone wall.

I plan to collect Qingxin Grass and Spirit Tempering Fruit immediately and leave here quickly.

However, on his side, he had just moved his steps, walked to the stone wall, stretched out his hand, and was about to pick the first Qingxincao, when suddenly, a squeaking sound was heard from the entrance of the stone cave. Came over and entered the stone chamber.

Immediately afterwards, the light from the outside world penetrated in, and the light of the night pearl at the top of the stone chamber suddenly disappeared.
