Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

Since his canonization during the Song Dynasty, temples of Emperor Guan Sheng can be seen everywhere in Kyushu.

There is a Guandi Temple in Dixian Village, which is not surprising at all.

Everyone followed Professor Sun into the temple. Only Ji Changsheng hesitated a little, with a sharp look on his face, but he didn't say anything and walked in last.

When I entered the temple, I saw that the ground was covered with dust. No one had cleaned it for hundreds of years. There were cobwebs and flying insects everywhere.

Everyone worked together to clear a clean area and came out, setting up camp and resting here tonight.

After working hard all day, I was tired and hungry.

After eating, everyone took turns to shift, leaning on pillars and wrapping themselves in clothes to sleep.

Ji Changsheng closed his eyes slightly and remained awake.

Lin Shuangyue couldn't sleep, so she took the initiative to take up the vigil work.

At midnight, Ji Changsheng opened his eyes and fully recovered his strength.

Lin Shuangyue leaned over and whispered.

"Mr. Ji, there is something wrong with this temple."

Ji Changsheng nodded slightly and said.

"I know you worked hard."

It was precisely because Lin Shuangyue saw that there was something wrong with the temple that she took the initiative to take charge of the vigil. This shows that she was thoughtful.

"Do you want to remind everyone?"

Ji Changsheng shook his head.

"No need for the time being. Although this temple has problems, I am here..."

Before he finished speaking, a dull sound suddenly came from outside.

Boom!

The sound seemed to come from underground and caused a slight earthquake.

Everyone who was sleeping was immediately awakened. No one dared to sleep peacefully in such a ghostly place.

Wang Kaixuan picked up the weapon and looked outside with vigilance.

"What's the noise?"

Just as Ji Changsheng was about to answer, he saw a bright red light appearing outside, like the rising sun.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. This place was at least one thousand meters away from the ground. How could the sunlight reach the ground?

Out of curiosity, people came to the door one after another and looked out.

I saw a strange red color hanging in the mid-air in the distance, as bright as blood.

The blood quickly spread around, getting bigger and bigger, and finally enveloped the entire underground basin!

Just when everyone was horrified, the blood quickly faded and disappeared.

This scene came and went quickly, lasting less than ten seconds.

Everyone was surprised and suspicious, and felt a little uneasy.

Wang Kaixuan asked nervously.

"Mr. Ji, what is this red light?"

Just as Ji Changsheng was about to answer, Professor Sun seemed to realize something. He quickly lowered his head and glanced at his watch, and his expression changed involuntarily.

"The time has obviously not come yet, there are still two hours left!"

Wang Kaixuan said anxiously.

"Don't say half a sentence. Just finish it. Why are there still two hours left?"

Professor Sun explained with a horrified look.

"It's the dormant period of the Nine Death Jingling Armor, and there are still two hours left."

"The burst of blood just now must have been the noise caused by it!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel horrified. The movement of the Nine Death Jingling Armor must have been too great!

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but frown and said suspiciously.

"How do you know it's that thing? Didn't you say that no one has seen it before?"

Professor Sun replied with a grimace.

"The movement just now can cover the entire basin. Besides the Jingling Armor of Nine Deaths, what else could it be?"

"I guess... this may be a signal before it goes into sleep. Anyway, let's wait another two hours before we can go in."

Wang Kaixuan was still a little confused, and when he was about to ask, Yaomei exclaimed.

"No, everyone, get out quickly!"

Everyone looked back and saw Yaomei staring at the statue of Emperor Guan with a horrified expression and retreating towards the door in panic.

Wang Kaixuan asked, looking up at Mr. Guan.

"Sister, what happened...ah! What a monster!"

When I looked again, I saw that there was no second master Guan anywhere. The statue sitting on the throne turned into a ferocious god at some point!

This fierce god looked ugly and terrifying, as if it had been smoked and was as black as ink.

What's even more weird is that the fierce god actually holds a Franco machine cannon in his hands!

Even Zhou Cang Guanping next to him had turned into two terrifying ghost statues, with teeth and claws showing, showing his fierce look.

Everyone took out their weapons and prepared for battle.

At this time, Ji Changsheng smiled softly and waved his hands.

"Don't panic, everyone. It's just a few statues, nothing to make a fuss about."

Wang Kaixuan pointed at the statue and asked in confusion.

"But why did they change their appearance?"

Before Ji Changsheng could answer, Yaomei said in a deep voice.

"This is their true appearance. This is not the Guandi Temple at all, but a cannon temple!"

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi looked at each other and almost laughed.

"Sister, are you talking about the Franco machine gun in its arms? God of artillery, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Yaomei shook her head helplessly and said seriously.

"Don't laugh, this Cannon Temple is not a good place!"

Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of China. As early as the Song Dynasty, gunpowder was used in the military and various firearms were invented. It was also used in mines to break mountains and blast rocks.

The safety of gunpowder at that time was far less than it is now, and explosion accidents often occurred, killing many people.

People in ancient times were generally superstitious. In order to pray for peace, they didn't know who created the God of Artillery, built temples and golden statues for him, and would offer incense and pray every time they went on an expedition or opened a mountain.

Later, when the Qing Dynasty entered the Shanhai Pass, Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, died under the red cannon. The Qing court therefore prohibited the worship of the god of cannons among the people and ordered the demolition of all the temples of the god of cannons.

However, this belief did not end because the work of blasting rocks was very dangerous. The miners wanted to pray for safety, so they secretly built the temple of the god of cannons. In order to avoid being investigated by the government, the temple of the god of cannons was disguised and turned into the temple of Guandi and the temple of the land.

Since the Feng family retired from the world, they made their fortune by relying on salt mines. There were many miners in the family who blasted rocks, so it was natural to worship the god of cannons.

This Guandi Temple was a disguised temple of the god of cannons!

Hu Bayi was a little confused after hearing this.

"But Feng Shigu was a person in the Wanli period, and there were still several decades before the Qing Dynasty entered the Shanhai Pass. The era is wrong?"

Professor Sun waved his hand hurriedly.

"No mistake, he was born during the Wanli period, and Chongzhen was in power when he reached middle age."

"When he led people into the mountains to build the Dixian Village, the Manchus had just entered the Central Plains, and Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty ordered the large-scale demolition of the Cannon God Temple in that era."

After listening, Hu Bayi nodded and said.

"Although the time is right, there is still a problem."

"This temple was built deep underground, and no one has found it for hundreds of years. What are you afraid of the government investigating?"

When Professor Sun heard this, he was dumbfounded. How to explain this doubt?

The youngest sister immediately shook her head and said in a serious tone.

"Because this is not an ordinary Cannon God Temple!"
