It gets dark early in the valley, and the light becomes dim just after the beginning of the evening.

In the cemetery, the sounds of knocking stones and tilling the soil were heard continuously, with no sign of stopping.

To avoid any further complications, the soldiers forced the people to dig all night long, and they had already dug the rammed earth layer down a full five feet.

Five feet down, the hard rammed earth suddenly disappeared and turned into fine sand and gravel.

The people digging at the bottom just felt a little relieved, but before they had even dug a few shovels, some of them fell into the sand and gravel.

The fellow villagers nearby quickly lent a hand and tried to pull the man up, but the more they pulled, the deeper he sank, and even the rescuer was implicated...

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen common people were swallowed up by the quicksand.

Seeing this, the others didn't dare to go down. The soldiers were angry and kicked the civilians down, but they were still swallowed up.

"Stop for a moment." At this time, Dong Dangmen heard the news and appeared beside the big pit. He took a look and said, "It's a 'stone and quicksand trap'. People are trapped first. If we dig directly down, the sand will flow and the rammed earth above will lose its support and collapse. That would be troublesome."

"What should we do?" County Lieutenant Xie asked hurriedly.

"The safest way is to dig as deep as possible from the outside, bypass the quicksand layer, and go directly from the bottom of the tomb." Dong Dangmen thought for a moment and said, "But this is too slow. Let's dig directly from the quicksand layer."

"What should we do if it collapses?" asked County Lieutenant Xie.

"Dig downwards from the side, and support and reinforce the surrounding areas with wooden boards as you dig." Dong Dangmen gave a professional solution.

"Okay!" County Magistrate Xie immediately gave a loud order, asking the people to dig again according to Dong Dangmen's instructions.

On the other side of the West Mountain, Tianliangzi and Yanagi Zhongjun were ready to take action.

"Do you have a plan?" Liu Zhongjun asked slowly.

"Yes. One of us will break the wall, and the other will release the civilians, and then we will stop the pursuers." Tian Liangzi said in a deep voice: "Run as much as you can, and stop them as long as you can."

"Uncle, what a crappy plan this is?" I heard a sneer behind me.

"Ahaha, kid, you're back!" Tian Liangzi jumped three feet high when he heard that, hugged Ren Yuan and said, "I knew you wouldn't abandon us!"

"Don't give me that. I'm not doing this for you." Ren Yuan struggled to break free from the old eel and said, "I'm doing this for Liu Zhongjun. Who made me pull out so much of his hair? I have to pay this debt back."

Liu Zhongjun nodded with satisfaction, and excitedly pulled out the last few remaining hairs and gave them to Ren Yuan.

Each one is a thunderbolt sword.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Yuan just can't let you go." A Yao smiled and comforted Tian Liangzi.

"No, no, as long as he can come back, he'll be my living father." Tian Liangzi said without any hesitation, "Using our brains is not our strong point. Boy, tell us what we should do, we'll listen to you!"

"Alas..." Ren Yuan sighed and finally told the truth: "I have tried it many times in my dream. There is only one way to save most of the people, but how many of us can survive? Only God knows."

"Hurry up and tell me." Tian Liangzi urged, "Don't worry, the master in my temple has told you that you won't die."

"Then she must be very disappointed." Ren Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, I have calculated it many times, and finally vomited blood." Tian Liangzi smiled, then said seriously: "Let's talk about business."

Ren Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Do you know who is buried here?"

"Who?" "It's Donghun Hou!" Ren Yuan said excitedly. He finally encountered a name he had heard of in his previous life. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about this chaotic history. He only knew that this person was a masochist, foot fetishist, and performance artist.

"Winter monkey?" Senior Sister blinked her clear eyes. She only knew golden monkeys and cicada monkeys...

"This man was the de facto king of the previous dynasty who lost his country, and was also the enemy who killed the brother of the current emperor." Tian Liangzi suddenly realized, "No wonder there are troops guarding his tomb!"

"That's right. The identity of Donghun Hou is extremely sensitive." Ren Yuan said in a deep voice: "That's why Xie Gui and his men deliberately cleared the area to cover up the act of robbing Donghun Hou's tomb, so as to prevent the court from knowing about it."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Liu Zhongjun nodded slowly. Even if he turned into a human form, he was still the best listener.

"But those people don't know yet that Donghun Hou has transformed into a corpse and turned into a corpse king!" Ren Yuan continued.

"Corpse King?" Everyone gasped when they heard this.

There are eight zombies inside and seven outside, and the zombie king ranks second. He not only has intelligence and super powers, but can control zombies from dozens of miles away, and is immortal and indestructible. Only a great master with seven orifices can subdue him.

"If we really let him out, won't the whole world go into chaos?" Tian Liangzi said, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

"The Gou Chen Division will definitely be dispatched." Liu Zhongjun nodded.

"That's exactly what we want! If they don't let us pass, no one else will have a good life!" Ren Yuan said fiercely, "They killed the people to silence them. As long as they can release Donghun Hou, the truth will be revealed and no one can hide it!"

"Then Xie Gui will be the first one who can't escape." Tian Liangzi said happily: "It was he who led the troops to blockade Fangxianxiang. This time the Xie family can't save him!"

"That's right. If the matter gets out of hand, the emperor will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. They are too busy trying to clear themselves of the charges, so how could they invite trouble? They will definitely sacrifice their pawns to save their king." Ren Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice:

"In this situation, it would be useless for Xie Gui to kill the people. The right thing to do is to flee to the ends of the earth."

"There is indeed no need for that, but Xie Gui may still kill the people to vent his anger." Liu Zhongjun said slowly.

"That's right, you can't underestimate a desperado." Tianliangzi also agreed.

"Don't worry." Ren Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Once Donghun Hou showed up, the situation was completely messed up. They didn't even have time to run away, so how could they care about the common people?"

After a pause, he continued, "The Corpse King is intelligent. He will definitely seek revenge first and vengeance first..."

"Then we are relatively safe." Tian Liangzi was relieved, but also sad: "We can't hurt him at all."

"Anyway, we are definitely not the most unlucky ones." Senior sister also said happily.

"But if we want to release Donghun Hou, we must go deep into the underground palace and pull out the enemy's teeth right under their noses." Ren Yuan signaled them not to get excited, and then laid out the specific action plan, and said in a deep voice:

"From the moment we started, there was no rehearsal, no preview. We had to put life and death aside and fight to the death!"

As he said this, his eyes swept across everyone, wanting to ask if they had made up their minds. Then he laughed at himself, saying that he was the one who had finally made up his mind.

Then he changed the topic and said, "Let's all bow to each other and wish each other safety."

The other three burst out laughing and said in unison: "Then you have to thank the three of us."

"Okay, please bless me, three gods." Ren Yuan followed suit, straightened his clothes, folded his hands, bowed, and bowed deeply to Liu Jun, the god of the river and mountain.

This was the first time he admitted that they were real gods.
