Chapter 233: Touching the Gold Captain

Chapter 233: Touching the Gold Captain

Gu Changfeng and Meng Yan stood in the abandoned courtyard, looking at the dark bed.

"Did anyone see it?"

"It's always within my barrier. No one knows except the one in the palace and us."

Gu Changfeng nodded: "The most important thing is not to let Prince Fu know that they left here."

Meng Yan hummed: "This is the residence of the Jade Rat."

"I know. The third brother discussed with me that he couldn't be the Jade Rat. Now it seems that although he is not, there must be a great connection. Tomorrow, ask the sick scholar to come to the academy."

Meng Yan was stunned: "The one from Ghost Town? Why are you calling him?"

"I want to find out if Jade Rat had any fellow disciples or brothers before him."

Lan Ling and Sanniang packed their bags. Mo'er looked at her with a complicated expression: "Are you going back now?"

"No, let's go to Xijing." Sanniang turned around and smiled: "Try again there."

"Xijing is the emperor's place." Wanqing interjected cautiously.

"It's all the same." Lan Ling carried the package on her back and said, "We won't take action in Chang'an City. The old immortal will be the last barrier there. I hope he won't have to take action. Thank you all for your help. We'll see you later. Sanniang, I'm leaving."

Mo Er curled his lips: "What are you thanking me for? I saved people earlier than you."

Lan Ling smiled and pretended not to hear. She took Sanniang to say goodbye to Yun Gu and left Tianxiang Tower.

"If you want to go too, I will break your legs." Yun Gu stood outside the door at some point, looking at Mo'er who was eager to try, and cursed coldly.

"Why didn't you stop me before?"

"You had to try, but now that you have tried, you can't save him. The eunuch has done his best by letting you go twice."

Mo'er's eyes turned red with anger, but he succumbed to Yun Gu's unyielding stare and snorted coldly, hiding back in his room.

"Brother Bujie, where are we going?" Yuan Zhen followed Bujie to rescue people with a confused look on his face, was caught with a confused look on his face, and then was rescued with a confused look on his face.

It seemed that apart from being trained by the old eunuch along the way and being able to vaguely transform into a magical weapon when using the Wrathful Vajra Dharma Image, he had done nothing.

"Go back to the temple. We have been walking for so long. I wonder how much money we have lost."

"What about you, senior brother?"

"I'm going to Chang'an."

Bujie left without saying a word.

Beimang Mountain is very large. Because it is located in the two capitals and its shape is like a dragon, it once became the favorite burial site for emperors and generals.

So this place is not as eerie and deserted as Zhao Yushu imagined. On the contrary, the roads are well built.

"Old man, how many people are buried here? There are graves everywhere along the way."

The old eunuch looked relaxed, as if he was taking a walk in the spring. "There are at least one or two thousand of them. They have been buried here since the previous dynasty, and they are all nobles. Ordinary people are not qualified to be buried here."

"So you're saying that we might be stepping on a few princes?"

The old eunuch was startled and subconsciously wanted to shrink his feet. Then he thought of whose tomb would be under the steps: "You are a scholar, how can you be so disrespectful to the king?"

Zhao Yushu continued to climb upwards: "When you become an immortal in the future, go down and ask Taizu why he didn't think of showing some respect to the previous emperor when he rebelled."

The old eunuch snorted and wisely stopped discussing this topic with him: "We have been walking for a day. Have you found your chance?"

Zhao Yushu touched the Ghost King Token in his arms. So far, the token had no response. He didn't know whether it was because it had not reached the right position or he didn't know how to use it.

When the teacher gave them this token, he didn't tell them how to use it specifically, so maybe they didn't know either.

You can't really hold up a sign and shout "Tiga".

Zhao Yushu did not hide the matter of the Ghost King's Order from the old eunuch, and he could not hide it. The old eunuch was knowledgeable, but he was at a loss as to how to use the Ghost King's Order.

"I only know that hundreds of years ago there was a strange sect in Beimang Mountain that was extremely good at tomb robbing. The leader called himself the Ghost King. Maybe it has something to do with the sign in your hand. However, that sect should have disappeared more than a hundred years ago."

Tomb robbing? That makes sense. The footwork that can only be used in the dark, the method of cracking mechanisms, and the finger techniques are simply skills tailor-made for tomb robbers.

Zhao Yushu suddenly thought of a funny possibility: "Do you know where the largest tomb is in Beimang Mountain?"

The old eunuch had a wide range of knowledge, but his education was really average. After all, in the eyes of some emperors, reading was a taboo for eunuchs in the palace, let alone studying the tombs of kings and princes. God knows what you want to do.

The old eunuch was a little embarrassed and severely criticized Zhao Yushu's idea. He also grabbed a few craftsmen who were repairing the tomb and questioned them.

The craftsmen's answers varied widely, but fortunately, after cross-verification, we had a few goals.

"I'm not good at mechanisms. If there's any powerful mechanism, you have to protect me." Zhao Yushu didn't lie. He only learned the basics of "A Hundred Solutions to Mechanisms". It's okay for small mechanisms, but if it's a particularly ingenious design, he really has no way to deal with it.

The old eunuch looked at him with disdain: "I don't know if this ancient item, which is hundreds of years old, can be used. Eunuch, I have never heard of any inner scene being killed by a mechanism."

"Got it! I've been waiting for you to say this! Please step back two steps, I'm going to open the door!" Zhao Yushu made two "Puh" sounds at his hands, pressed a heavy stone door with both hands, exhaled and made a loud bang.

The old eunuch's eyes twitched. He was a great master of internal vision, but he actually accompanied this young gentleman to Beimang Mountain to rob a tomb. It was very likely the tomb of a prince of this dynasty. If the palace knew about it, he would not be able to live a peaceful life in the few days left.

The tomb that had been sealed for at least three or four hundred years was forced to see the light of day again. Zhao Yushu apologized in his heart and slowly walked into the tomb following the sunlight.

"He was a general who founded the country. Although his official rank was not high, he had a strong background. His rank was almost catching up with that of a duke." The old eunuch reached out and wiped the stone tablet, then chuckled after reading the inscription.

Zhao Yushu carefully walked around holding the iron plate, carefully dismantled a few mechanisms, and then sighed helplessly: "It doesn't look like this is the place."

The old eunuch pushed the coffin lid open with his palm and took a look inside: "They are all yellow and white things, nothing special. Let's go and take a look at another one."

Zhao Yushu grimaced as he watched, thinking that you enjoy scolding me verbally, but you are much more skillful than me when it comes to fighting.

After sealing the tomb door carefully, the two men groped their way to find the next tomb when it was completely dark. Tombs were stacked on top of each other here, and they were very old, so they were lucky to be able to find it. Even with the interior view, it still took a lot of time.

"I can't even read the words. It must be five or six hundred years old." The old eunuch lay on the half-remaining tomb guardian beast and took a look: "Come on, open the door."

With a loud bang, the stone door was forced open. Zhao Yushu rolled up a torch and threw it inside, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Old man, it looks like at least one of us is lucky. I mean, we are very lucky. If nothing goes wrong, this is it."

"Oh?" The old eunuch waved his hand and a gust of wind was sent into the tomb: "This old servant can't see any clues."

"It can see it." Zhao Yushu took out the Ghost King's Order. On the ferocious ghost head, a pair of ghost eyes had ignited a faint blue flame at some point.
