The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards
Chapter 73: Night Exploration of the Ancient Tomb
Chapter 73: Night Exploration of the Ancient Tomb
"of course I remember."
When she left the old house in Zhongdu, the grandmother took nothing with her but this small box.
If it were just gold, silver and treasures, there would be no need to mention it again.
Gu Ping'an had been curious at first, and now that he remembered it, he couldn't help but ask, "What's in there?"
"It's in the cupboard. Take it out and have a look yourself."
Gu Ping'an took out the official suitcase as instructed and placed it on the table.
There was an exquisite silver lock on the box, and he turned the lever as his grandmother instructed.
There was a slight "click" sound and the lock popped open.
Most of the things in the box are gold bars, neatly stacked in rows, making people dizzy.
Such a large sum of money would take an ordinary family several lifetimes to spend. However, considering the status of my grandmother back then, it was not surprising that she had such a fortune.
"Open the middle drawer. There's a compartment inside."
Gu Ping'an reached in, felt around a few times, and indeed found a secret compartment.
The secret compartment no longer contained gold and silver, but a token.
This token is made of fine iron, feels heavy in the hand, has a simple design and patterns, and a traditional Chinese character "义" is engraved on the front.
“This token…”
"The rebel army suffered repeated setbacks and was eventually defeated by the Jin soldiers. Wang Zhe, disheartened, returned to his 'Tomb of the Living Dead' and became a monk, becoming Wang Chongyang."
The old grandmother couldn't help but sigh when she recalled the past.
"Those old friends and comrades tried to persuade him time and again, hoping that he would make a comeback, but the Song court was incompetent and the Jin army was too powerful, so in the end, no one could persuade him..."
"Those subordinates knew that it was useless to persuade them any further, so they handed me this token and told me that if I wanted to regroup and raise an army to fight against the Jin in the future, I should bring the token to the Fengxiang Escort Agency to find them."
Regroup?
Gu Ping'an had a strange expression on his face.
"I heard from Wang Zhe's disciples that you also have the intention to resist the Jin army. I will give this token to you as a help."
After so many years, that generation is already half buried in the ground. It is still unknown whether this token can still be used.
As if she had guessed what he was thinking, the old lady added another sentence.
"Don't underestimate this token. When you arrive in Fengxiang Prefecture in the future, you will know the answer once you try it."
"it is good."
Gu Ping'an couldn't bear to reject the old grandmother's kindness, so he quickly agreed and respectfully took the token.
The old grandmother suddenly changed the subject. "How have you been getting along with Nianci lately? Why didn't you bring her with you this time?"
"We get along pretty well. She hasn't seen Uncle Yang for a while and is busy right now. I'll bring her to see you later."
Gu Ping'an was a little embarrassed at first, but when he thought of the assist she had given him, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"My fate with her is thanks to your secret help."
"At least I didn't make things worse." The old grandmother smiled brightly.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
The gate was knocked again, and Mu Nianci cautiously poked her head in.
Gu Pingan saw her and quickly waved: "Come in, grandma is talking about you!"
"Grandma, Nianci is here to see you!"
Mu Nianci walked in, not knowing what she was thinking, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Good child, come here and sit next to grandma!" The old grandmother held her hand tightly, her face full of smiles, and her voice was full of kindness and gentleness.
Gu Ping'an looked at her and saw that she was completely different now, and couldn't help but be shocked.
The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Qiu Chuji have agreed to go to Lin'an together. This group of people are impatient and plan to set off tomorrow, not wanting to delay even a day longer.
Mu Nianci puts Gu Ping'an first in everything and comes to ask for his opinion.
Gu Ping'an was unwilling to go with this group of people, so he used the excuse of accompanying his grandmother to stay for a few more days and meet up with them in Lin'an later.
In addition to his reluctance to go with the others, he had another reason to stay for a few days, which was the Chongyang carving in the Tomb of the Living Dead.
Although his card drawing system can easily master top martial arts and avoid hard training, the probability of orange cards is too low after all, so it is not easy to get the "Nine Yin Scriptures" randomly.
Now that he has become more knowledgeable and has a much higher vision, if he can obtain the Nine Yin "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" in the remains, and verify it with his "Wudang Nine Yang Gong", even without the Nine Yin General Principles, it will be enough to make him improve his internal strength a lot.
In addition to the "Chapter on Changing Muscles and Strengthening Bones", the methods of unblocking acupoints and transferring souls are also extremely practical secrets.
Now that you're here, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?
Having made up his mind, Gu Ping'an went up Mount Zhongnan again overnight, passed Chongyang Palace without entering, and then went west, where he saw a deep ditch.
There was a forest below the grassy slope. The deeper you went into the forest, the denser it became. Until the treetops blocked the moonlight, a stone tablet could be vaguely seen.
Inscribed on the stone tablet are four striking characters: "No entry for outsiders."
We were near the ancient tomb. In the silence, we could faintly hear the buzzing of bees' wings.
If it were an ordinary person, the jade bees would have sensed the invasion and would have gathered here by now, and would definitely sting him to a point where he would be worse than death.
But Gu Ping'an happened to possess the power of the Manggu Zhuha, and all the poisonous creatures in the world were afraid of him. They only felt that their natural enemy was coming, and they couldn't even hide, so how could they dare to pounce on him and die?
After leaving the forest without any hindrance, Gu Ping'an successfully arrived near the entrance of the ancient tomb and hid aside to watch quietly.
The Jade Bee Swarm is raised by the Ancient Tomb Sect. Although they are afraid of their natural enemies and dare not approach, they can still make sounds to warn people.
About half a cup of tea later, a middle-aged woman came out of the tomb door and looked around following the sound.
Gu Ping'an looked at her in the moonlight and saw the person's face covered with goose bumps. He immediately guessed her identity.
Grandma Sun is ugly but kind-hearted.
Jade Bee could not speak, and Grandma Sun did not dare to take her to Gu Ping'an. She searched the place where the bees gathered for a long time, but could not see anything, and her face was puzzled.
This was the first time she had encountered such a scene since she came to the ancient tomb.
Gu Ping'an relied on his excellent martial arts skills to hide his whereabouts. After a fruitless search, Grandma Sun had to return in confusion.
The jade bee was afraid of the aura of the Manggu Red Clam, so it circled around it a few more times before finally dispersing.
Gu Ping'an waited for a while until he was sure it was safe and no one came out. Then he left his hiding place and sneaked into the tomb.
The quietness in the tomb is truly empty and peaceful, separating it from the dust of the mortal world.
The Tomb of the Living Dead was built by Wang Chongyang to resist the Jin army. It took thousands of people and several years to complete.
The tomb passage is complex and crisscrossed, with countless forks in the road. Even if there are bright lights, it is difficult for outsiders to find the path.
Not to mention that there is no light in the tomb at this moment, and there are countless sophisticated mechanisms hidden in the dark. If you are not careful, you will die here.
Fortunately, Gu Ping'an had just used the jade bee to lure out Grandma Sun, leaving new traces. At this moment, he lit the tinder, squatted on the ground and observed carefully, and he really found the right way.
The path twisted and turned, one turn after another. It took me more than half an hour to walk before I saw a faint light coming from the front.
Gu Ping'an quietly approached, secretly alert in his heart, not daring to be careless at all.
I really don’t have any drafts saved.
I wrote a chapter and posted it first. There is no time to correct typos, so I will update it first and correct it later. Please fix the bugs.
There will be two updates today, and there will be another chapter before 12 o'clock.
