Chapter 435 Hidden Gu
Daylight had just broken outside.
A young officer in cloth armor rushed to the main hall of the mausoleum guard camp in a panic and reported, "Master Yan, this is bad! There's movement in the southwest mausoleum! I suspect tomb robbery!"
"Puff!" Yan Huan spat out a mouthful of hot tea, then calmly wiped the tea stains from the corners of his mouth. "The imperial mausoleum is heavily guarded. Anyone who dares to rob it must be incredibly brave. Is there such a person in the world? Stop talking nonsense and go back to patrol."
The young general stared blankly, "But I really heard some noise, like someone was fighting inside——"
"You heard wrong." Yan Huan stared at the young general with deep eyes, which frightened the young general so much that he dared not say anything more and had to retreat as ordered.
As soon as he left, the seriousness and solemnity on Yan Huan's face disappeared, and his temples ached slightly.
The emperor's secret order had just reached his hands when there was a commotion in the imperial mausoleum.
Not only does he have to pretend he doesn't know, he also has to help clean up the mess afterwards, and do it well.
Who are those people and why did the Queen allow them to do so?
That's the imperial mausoleum! All the royal ancestors sleep inside!
If the secret order were to get out, the Queen would be in great danger of being condemned by the world!
"Master Yan?" the deputy general beside him asked worriedly.
Yan Huan waved his hand and drove him out of the hall.
Having the secret order in hand has both advantages and disadvantages for him.
If we fail to do it well, we are naturally responsible.
But if it is done well and makes the emperor happy, there is a chance that he will be reused in the future.
He needs to think carefully about what to do.
At this time, the fighting in the mausoleum was still going on.
Five men in black fell to the ground one after another, but the remaining one, Chu Tianxing, seemed to be slippery and unwilling to hold back.
The paths in the mausoleum were narrow and winding, and with so many people gathered together, it was difficult to perform any moves.
This prolongs the tug of war between the two sides.
Wang Bai was squeezed in the middle and couldn't distinguish between friend and foe when he attacked. Tianbao found a dark corner and put him into the space.
A moment later, Bing'er caught up with them breathlessly and said to Tianbao, who had fallen behind, "Sister! I just took a closer look at those light coffins. Besides the dark iron and small items that were taken out, there are people inside the coffins! It's an iron man, and there's blood on the iron sheet. I was scared to death!"
Bai Yu turned around and looked at Tian Bao, and immediately realized that the iron man in the light coffin must have been made not long ago, so the blood on his body had not been cleaned up yet.
Both of them had darkened eyes.
"Tianbao!" Bai Yu called out and stretched out his hand.
Tianbao immediately reached out and grabbed it, and with the help of the young man's wrist strength, he flew out from the narrow space above the path, passed over the heads of his companions, and swung the Moon-Drinking Sword, with the blade slashing directly at the black-robed man in the front.
Chu Tianxing, who was fighting with Bai Xiaofeng at the front, dodged in danger when he saw this. He moved his two fingers slightly, and a light smoke emerged from the path.
It was obviously not faint enough to block the view, but Chu Tianxing disappeared in front of everyone when the smoke appeared.
Only a wild sneer was left.
The poisonous old man immediately stepped forward and sniffed around, reassuring the younger ones, "Don't panic, don't panic, this smoke is not poisonous."
Su Wu stared in astonishment. "What kind of skill is this? He just disappeared without a trace? The walls on both sides are solid, and there's no hole in the ground. Where did he go?"
Bai Xiaofeng's face also darkened. He had never seen such an escape technique before. It was unbelievable.
"Hidden Gu! It's a hidden Gu!" Bing'er squeezed out from behind and said firmly, "Grandma told me about it when I was a child! We Qiang people used to have a kind of Gu insect. If you crush it, it will emit a puff of smoke that makes the person who casts the Gu invisible! But the invisibility only lasts for half a moment, so he must not have gotten far!"
Tian Bao's eyes flickered when he heard that, and he shouted, "Little Wheat Ear, hit him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her immediately dispersed tacitly, and they heard the sound of whips and knives in the small path, and then heard a suppressed groan.
Although the sound was very light and almost covered by the sound of weapons breaking through the air, it still did not escape the ears of several people, and was enough for them to follow the sound to identify the direction and intercept and pursue.
Bai Yuxian rushed to the end of the trail, "Here! He's injured, and he smells of blood! Chase him!"
Following the blood-stained qi, everyone chased it to the end and saw a narrow entrance leading to the outside world.
"Looks like this is the entrance to the mausoleum. I'm going to give chase!" Bai Xiaofeng left a message before rushing out. "Tianbao, you guys go back to the tomb and free those tied-up people. See if you can get anything out of them. And while you're at it, search the tomb to see if there are any other Iron Men!"
"Uncle Changdong..." Su An and Su Wen were worried and wanted to follow him, but were stopped by Tianbao.
"Listen to godfather, there are some things he may not want us to know for the time being." she said.
"But it's too dangerous for him to chase after him alone. Chu Tianxing is no ordinary person!" Su Wu was extremely anxious.
"Hey, Bai Xiaofeng is no simple matter either. What's there to worry about? If he dares to go alone, he must be sure to come back alive." Du Buqin stood at the exit that perfectly matched his body shape with his hands on his hips, turned around and grinned at the younger ones, "You guys go back and find Iron Man, grandpa will go with us to take a look. Don't let anything slip!"
After saying that, he slipped out.
The little ones, "..."
On the way back to the tomb, the three brothers of the Su family quickly composed themselves and checked the tombs on both sides of the corridor one by one.
"Tianbao, how did you make sure Chu Tianxing was still around us just now, and let him be whipped by Xiaomai Sui?" Su Wu asked while checking the coffin.
Tianbao, "There were ten breathing sounds in the path at that time."
And there were only nine of them.
As for the five people who were tied up, they were not at the scene and were still staying in the tomb at the beginning.
Su Wu kept silent and did not ask any more questions. He was convinced of being ranked sixth in the world.
On the other side, Little Wheat Ear was also whispering with Bing'er.
"Bing'er, you Qiang people actually have poisonous insects that can make people invisible? I've never heard of it!"
"I heard about it from my grandmother, but I've never seen one. She said it's very difficult to raise a hidden insect, and that it became extinct among the Qiang people many years ago."
"After the Qiang tribe was exterminated, it was actually raised outside... It seems that there are experts in raising Gu outside the Qiang tribe! Putting this aside, your reminder this time was very timely, Bing'er, you are getting smarter and smarter!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! From now on, my sister and I will continue to take you around the world to broaden your horizons. You will definitely become smarter and smarter!"
The cute little girl giggled with joy.
Finding nothing along the way, he returned to the original tomb. Before he got close, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Their hearts sank as they immediately quickened their pace and rushed into the tomb. The scene inside made them look disheartened.
The five people who were kidnapped died.
The wounds were all on Bo's neck, very fine sword marks, which caused severe bleeding.
Bing'er murmured in disbelief, "Impossible! I was the last one to run out. They were still alive when I ran away. Who, who killed them?"
Bai Yu pursed his lips. "Before Bing'er escaped, all the men Chu Tianxing brought with him were already dead. Chu Tianxing was being pursued the entire time by us, so there was no chance for him to turn back and kill them... This means that besides us, someone else had sneaked into the tomb."
The three brothers of the Su family said nothing, their faces solemn.
There were other people sneaking in, and they were completely unaware.
This is almost impossible.
Unless the other party's skills are better than Tianbao and Uncle Changdong.
