Chapter 140 Lord Baylor

Zhao Huo, an ancient man, Zhao Shuihe and I have talked about it in detail.

300 years ago, it was this Zhao Huo who created the first "Bright Lamp King" with a copy of "Food Forbidden" he stole from the Forbidden City, and used the power of that monster to defend his homeland and save his descendants Burned by the flames of war.

Now, more than 300 years later, the monster he created has "run away" and was controlled by a monster by accident, and it has become a victim in the Zhao family building, and his tomb has been turned into a warehouse and a base.

I really don't know what kind of emotion and unwillingness he will feel when he sees this scene in the spirit of heaven.

Zhao Shuihe caressed the coffin and said: "In order to control the Lantern King, Zhao Huo used a secret method to cast a batch of five emperors' money. The one I used to repel the cat demon was handed down, and there are only three left."

With the five emperors' money and the lamp king who is good at driving poisonous insects, the Zhao family suddenly has the capital to defend themselves.In the days of war and chaos that followed, with the help of this power of ghosts and gods, the Zhao family lived a peaceful life for several years.

During the catastrophe in the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing army and many bandit tyrants peeked at the wealth accumulated by the Zhao family building for more than 100 years, and sent troops to "attack" many times, but they always failed.

During the process of looting Zhaojialou, those soldiers who committed crimes could not find their way, or got lost inexplicably around the periphery of Shirengu. Being eaten by the "Yin Bing Tomb", in short, they lost soldiers and generals, but they failed to take a penny of benefits from the Zhao Family Building.

Gradually, there were rumors that the Zhao family building was protected by Yin soldiers, and anyone who harbored ill intentions towards Shi Rengu's Zhao family building would suffer a terrible death.

Later, Baylor, an unbelievable Qing soldier, personally led a thousand and eight banner soldiers and found a local as a guide. He came straight to Zhaojialou, but got lost in the miscellaneous forest on Laoqi Road for a day and a night. .

Strange to say, once their army retreated five miles away from Zhao's House, they could see the towering buildings in Zhao's House from the hillside, and even the black tiles on the roof could be seen faintly.

But once the Qing army entered the woodland and Laoqi Road, all the troops would be like headless chickens unable to distinguish the east from the west, let alone enter the Zhaojialou.

In the end, Lord Belle had a plan, since he couldn't get out of this forest, he simply set fire to them, so that the enchantment array of Zhao's House would be destroyed by itself.

So, he burned down the miscellaneous woods around Zhao's house.

But who knew that under this fire, something unexpected happened. Because of this fire, this Baylor almost wiped out his entire army, and he almost died.

It turned out that just after he set fire to the miscellaneous forest, a large cloud of dark green "smoke" suddenly rose from the woodland, mixed with the sound of howling ghosts and gods, rolling in.

Under the dumbfoundedness of the Qing army, the smoke turned into hundreds of millions of poisonous insects, which instantly devoured Lord Baylor's troops.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers were killed and injured countless times by poisonous insects. Although Lord Belle was wearing golden armor, it was helpless that it was not airtight. Several poisonous insects got into the inner lining of the armor in an instant, and directly bitten Lord Belle. Covered in bags, fainted on the spot
In the end, Lord Baylor was carried back to Jinan by the remnant soldiers. From then on, no one dared to spy on the wealth and descendants of the Zhao family building.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but nodded and said: "It sounds good, Zhao Huo's goal has been achieved. Then what does he regret?"

Zhao Shuihe shook his head slightly and said: "The goal of self-protection has been achieved, but the next development has exceeded Zhao Huo's prediction."

It turned out that after the Zhao family had the Lightning King, they suddenly became more confident. Relying on the backing of this cat demon, they repeatedly used this power in frictions and conflicts with neighboring villages, turning this animal that protects the family into a demon. became a disastrous force, bringing the neighborhood to its knees.

Later, the Zhao family became more and more violent, and some younger generations used the cat to block roads and rob, and even robbed civilian women, killing people for money.
Because of the cat demon, the Zhao family building gradually changed from the "Xanadu" designed by Zhao Huo into a den of thieves that everyone talked about.

In this regard, Zhao Huo was heartbroken.

He repeatedly used the family law to persuade the clansmen to change their ways, and repeatedly taught the cat demon not to do things that hurt nature and reason, but unfortunately, no one listened, and the cat demon only recognized the token-like "five emperors' money".

In the face of huge real interests and the almost incomprehensible power of gods and ghosts, the Zhao family succumbed to their desires, abandoned Zhao Huo's original intention of "protecting the family with strange powers", and turned the cat demon, the lamp king, into a kind of money-seeker. deadly weapon.

Zhao Huo was deeply heartbroken by the people's yin and yang violation and greed for profit.

He knew that even though he was the patriarch of the Zhao family, everything was irreversible, and the Zhao family had lost their minds in the face of easy-to-get desires.

Zhao Huo feels that only extreme "vigilance" can make the Zhao family wake up from madness and become good.

So, on a night of New Year's Eve, in front of most people in the village, Zhao Huo threw away the "five emperor money" in his hand to control the cat demon.And ordered the goblin to "tear" himself alive.

He used his own death as a warning to everyone, to the cruelty and horror of this goblin, and told everyone that what this cat goblin fears and is loyal to is not the Zhao family, but only the "five emperors' money" in their hands.

Sooner or later, the Zhao family will be backlashed by the power of the cat demon, causing even greater disasters.

His death made the children of the Zhao family come to their senses.Since then, they destroyed the methods of refining goblins and controlling cat demons, leaving only a small amount of five emperors' money for emergency needs.

Zhao Shuihe sighed and said: "After Zhao Huo died, he left his last words saying that he was not worthy to see the ancestors of Huangquan, so he had to seal his corpse in a sarcophagus. He will never enter reincarnation, and he will never be reborn forever."

After listening to Zhao Shuihe's words, I was speechless for a moment.

It turns out that today's events have already happened more than 300 years ago. At that time, in order to awaken the people of the tribe, Zhao Huo learned from each other with death. What kind of courage and courage is this.

With this apprehensive feeling, I looked up again at Zhao Huo's tomb.

As far as the eye can see, the tomb has been "developed" by the Duan Tianshi, the sarcophagus of the dead is placed, and there are a lot of daily necessities, odd banknotes, and men's and women's clothing.

I don't know why, but I suddenly feel... more like a den of thieves!
Following this thought, I suddenly figured out a series of things.

In order to prove those ideas, I quickly rummaged through this den of thieves, looking for things that could prove my ideas...

After searching for a while, I quickly found what I was looking for...a suit and gloves made of cat fur!
This time, it all matched.

I suddenly understood everything!
So I said to Little Ah Si: "Since Old Qi Road, the one who instigated the cat demon is this Duan Tianshi. He used the lamp king and ancient legends as a cover to rob on the road leading to Shirengu! In this tomb Everything, especially this cat fur suit, is evidence!"

Afterwards, I shared my detailed thoughts with everyone.

A long time ago, Zhao Hong told me that since more than a year ago, the taxis passing by Laoqi Road would break down for no reason. When the drivers went down to check, the customers they pulled would suddenly disappear and be replaced by A rock or a dead mouse.

In this case, the taxi driver must be scared to death and run away.After a long time, it became a rumor that there were ghosts on Lao Qi Road.

But the truth is, those taxi drivers are pulling the sky-duan master, and this heaven-duan master must have staged such a farce with the cat in order to steal the money in the taxi.

He squandered all the things he had stolen, and stored all the things he couldn't squander in this tomb. Over time, he also regarded this place as his home, and lived a good life.

I picked up the cat fur suit and told Xiao Sidao: "The 'cat man' that Wang Hou and Hongye saw at the foot of Old Qi Road is Duan Tianshi wearing this clothes. You see the cat tail in Duan Tianshi's pants , is also the camouflage of this product.”

Little Ah Si suddenly realized, and he was puzzled: "But why does he pretend to be a cat demon? Why does he want to eat raw meat?"

I threw the cat fur clothes aside, and pointed out: "There are always taxi drivers who don't believe in evil. If they meet such a person, he will take off his coat and use this cat fur clothes to scare people, and deal with Wang Hou Hongye." The method is the same! It’s just that he got out of hand when dealing with us, lost troops and almost lost his life!”

All of a sudden, all the clues in my mind were connected, and the true face of this Duan Tianshi was also clarified.

Among other things, just charging him with the crime of "highway robbery" is enough to sentence him to life!

In silence, I hammered the face of the sarcophagus hard, and a dull voice quickly echoed.

Immediately afterwards, the three of us suddenly heard a panting sound from the heavy sarcophagus, as if in response to me, and then there was another sound from the coffin... the sound of some kind of creature grinding its teeth.

This sarcophagus... isn't actually empty? !
