Chapter 120 The Tomb Opens (1/2)
Chapter 120 The Tomb Opens (1/2)
Accompanied by the knock on the door, Li Yan immediately opened his eyes.
"Who is it?"
At this time, his tone and voice were basically the same as Jin Yan's.
"I am Xiao Cui. I am ordered by the master to ask Master Jin Yan to get up as soon as possible and go to see him."
A pleasant voice came from outside.
When the Jin family selects maids, they must not only have an average appearance, but also a pleasant voice, because both of these will affect the master's mood.
If the master is in a bad mood, the servants will also be in trouble.
"Okay, I know, come in and help me change clothes."
"Then I will go in."
As the door opened, a plump young woman came in, with fair skin, delicate features, and a temperament like a lady from a wealthy family.
This is obviously a maid who has been in the Jin Mansion for several years.
The maids in the Jin Mansion are not only good-looking and have a pleasant voice. There are also various tutors who train these maids intensively.
The main goal is to give the masters of the Jin Mansion a better experience.
Li Yan was originally sitting on the bed. When he saw the maid coming, he did not get up and continued to sit there.
He would get up and move a few times when the maid came to help him dress.
He did not need to do anything himself during the whole process, and the somewhat complicated clothes were neatly put on him.
Of course, during the dressing process, in order to conform to Jin Yan's usual behavior, Li Yan's hands never left Xiao Cui.
"Master, the master is still waiting for you?"
Xiao Cui, with a flushed face, bit her rosy lips and said: "Please bear with it for a while, it will be fine in the evening."
"Okay, then take me to see my father."
Li Yan showed a trace of regret on his face, which seemed real or fake, and let go of his mischievous right hand, letting Xiao Cui lead the way.
He did not know the way.
After a while, Li Yan, led by Cui'er, came to the door of Jin Yan's father, Jin Lie.
"Master, Master Yan is here."
"Let him in, you go down."
"Yes, Master."
After answering respectfully, Xiao Cui bowed to Li Yan again, then walked away slowly with her waist twisted.
Li Yan didn't look at him for long, and pushed the door open, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair.
Although Jin Lie is nearly sixty years old, his cultivation in the Yunzang realm and his affluent life still make him look like a man in his thirties.
Standing with Jin Yan, they don't look like father and son, but like brothers.
"Come with me to the tomb later, there is news that the entrance to the tomb has been dug out."
"Then should we go in?"
Li Yan asked curiously.
"Why do you ask such a stupid question? Is your brain broken? How can I, a person worth thousands of gold, take risks in person?"
As expected by Li Yan, he was scolded by Jin Lie.
It's not that Li Yan is a jerk, but this is the daily life of Jin Yan and Jin Lie, father and son.
When he was not Jin Yan, he had heard from others that Jin Yan was scolded by Jin Lie at least several times a day.
When he became Jin Yan, he understood the reason. When Jin Yan was born, Jin Yan's mother died of dystocia, and Jin Lie was a rare loyal person in the Jin family.
Facing his only biological son, who was also the one who killed his lover, it was normal to have some split.
Therefore, Li Yan deliberately asked this stupid question, just to let Jin Lie scold him, so that he could slowly adapt to the slightly different Jin Yan.
Otherwise, if Li Yan was cautious all day and was not scolded, I am afraid that Jin Lie would be the first to suspect whether his son was replaced.
Because Jin Yan was a big-hearted person, he would never be cautious in front of his father, even if he was scolded every day.
"Then why are we going there?"
Li Yan asked doubtfully.
"Of course, I am here to support your brother Huolin. As long as this exploration operation ends perfectly, he will definitely be the next clan leader. Now is the time to show up in front of him."
"I am not young anymore. While I am still influential, I have to pave the way for you."
"Otherwise, with your personality, you will never be able to get a management position in the future. I am afraid you will be assigned to the war hall."
It has to be said that parents are pitiful. No matter what class they are from, parents are the most concerned about their children.
"As expected, you love me the most, Dad. They all say that I am always scolded and it is pitiful. They don't know how good my dad is to me."
"It's good that you know. If your dad doesn't love you, who will?"
Jin Lie stroked his neat and shiny beard, with a satisfied look on his face.
"By the way, those are the ones who said you were so pitiful when you were scolded."
"Oh, those servants, I asked someone to beat them up, one or two of them died."
"As for who they were, I don't know, who will remember the names of these servants."
Li Yan imitated Jin Yan's tone and said carelessly.
"Yan'er, you are still too kind-hearted. These lowly servants who gossip about their masters behind their backs should be watched to die wailing."
Jin Lie taught his son by example.
"Okay, father, I will remember it."
What else can Li Yan say? He can only nod his head in agreement with a serious face.
Afterwards, the two talked for a while, and they started to set off only after a maid came to call them.
On the way, they naturally met many young people of the Jin family, and at this time, it was obvious that Li Yan chose Jin Yan for his benefit.
Just say hello and say a few words to a few people who usually chat.
The physical features, names, personalities, identities, and hobbies of these people were all told to Li Yan by Jin Yan himself.
So after just a few words, they didn't doubt the Jin Yan in front of them at all.
Soon, a large pit about ten feet in diameter appeared in front of Li Yan.
The big pit is surrounded by a group of guards and stewards. As for the slaves, they have been driven further away and are watching here from a distance.
Li Yan saw many familiar faces among the respectful management team, such as Mai Jia, Hao Huo and others.
Naturally, he couldn't go up to say hello, he could just pretend not to see him.
Afterwards, Li Yan followed the team in front and walked down step by step along the steps dug out of the pit.
While walking, I listened to the introduction of the tomb by the Jin family children around me.
This was knowledge that Li Yan didn't know, so he quickly listened carefully.
It turns out that the owner of this tomb is Qiu Jingming, nicknamed Yufeng Sanren, a master of the Ningsha Realm, and a native of Linjiang County, who lived four hundred years ago.
According to some historical records, this person is both good and evil, and his superb wind control skills make him almost unmatched in the Ningsha realm.
It was precisely because of this that this man lived for nearly two hundred and fifty years before dying of natural causes.
Before his death, he had prepared his tomb.
It is said that in order to repair the tomb, he kidnapped thousands of craftsmen. After repairing the tomb, he killed all the craftsmen.
However, with so many people, one or two will always slip through the net.
At that time, this fish who slipped through the net was also frightened out of his courage, and he did not dare to tell the address of Yufeng Sanren's tomb for the rest of his life.
However, perhaps out of reluctance or resentment, he drew a map of Yufeng Sanren's tomb and passed it on.
Until recently, his descendants revealed this secret, which naturally caused their descendants to be robbed by various forces.
This is not about snatching them back and treating them as guests, but rather torture them in the hope of extracting more information.
As a result, the news began to spread rapidly. As the owner of Linjiang County, the Jin family was naturally the first to know about this matter in Linjiang County.
Today, the Jin family is also the first to find the location of the tomb.
Everyone with the lowest cultivation level has reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, so the speed of descent is extremely fast.
In less than a cup of tea, I had already reached the bottom of the pit.
The bottom is already covered with gravel, and the land has been leveled.
Li Yan suspected that if this was not a mountain forest but a rock wall, neatly cut stones would have been laid out.
And there were torches and braziers everywhere, lighting up the dark bottom of the pit.
"You are here."
"How's the situation?"
Li Yan followed the sound and found that it was two innate bosses talking. He quickly looked away and looked at the entrance of the tomb that had just been dug out.
However, his ears perked up and he listened carefully to the conversation between the two bosses.
"The entrance to the tomb was dug out half an hour ago, and now we are studying how to open the tomb."
The person who said this was Jin Fenglei, whom Li Yan knew.
"What, is it difficult to open? Didn't you say that we hired a master tomb robber who is said to be famous throughout Weizhou? What did they say?"
Li Yan heard someone calling him Uncle Fengguang when he asked this question, so he said his name was Jin Fengguang.
"It is difficult to open. According to them, there is a dragon-breaking stone at the entrance of the tomb. It is a stone as hard as 500-forged steel."
"I tried it. With my strength and the spirit weapon in my hand, I could only cut a small hole the size of a human head and one foot deep in a quarter of an hour."
Jin Fenglei's expression was a little helpless.
"Can't we make too much noise?"
Jin Fengguang understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
"Yes, if I could use my innate martial arts, I would have dug a hole long ago. Unfortunately, this place is a hundred feet deep underground. We can't make any big noise, otherwise the place will collapse. "
Jin Fenglei sighed.
"Well, Jin Fenglei, I know why you called me here. It turns out you asked me to do the hard work."
Jin Fengguang ignored Jin Fenglei's sigh and instead laughed and cursed.
"Isn't it hard work for those who can do it? You are the one with the best marksmanship among us."
Jin Fenglei gave him a flattery without hesitation.
The flattery of an innate master is still very useful to Jin Fengguang.
"Okay then, I'll just take some pains and punch through this dragon-breaking stone."
So, Jin Fengguang came to the Broken Dragon Stone, which was one foot high and eight feet wide.
At this time, in the middle of the Broken Dragon Stone, there was a somewhat ugly hole that was as big as a human head and as deep as a palm and a half.
Obviously, this was done by Jin Fenglei.
Following Jin Fengguang's movements, many people who were watching the two people's movements gathered around.
Of course, he didn't dare to get too close. He consciously stopped when he was only ten feet away from Jin Fengguang.
Li Yan was in the crowd, his eyes fixed on Jin Fengguang's movements.
This was the first time for him to watch an innate master take action at such a close distance.
And with so many people's eyes focused on Jin Fengguang, Li Yan's gaze naturally became much bolder.
Suddenly, Li Yan felt as if there was an invisible airflow flowing around Jin Fengguang.
Before Li Yan could figure it out, a little golden light appeared on the tip of the spear in his hand, and then Jin Fengguang moved.
Li Yan didn't even see how Jin Fengguang moved, but he had already reached the Broken Dragon Stone.
The spear in his hand was completely immersed in the Broken Dragon Stone silently.
"Is this the power of the Great Perfection Level [Seven Killing Spears in Troubled Times]? It's really terrible."
Someone around Li Yan exclaimed.
Li Yan also knew that [Seven Killing Spears in Troubled Times] was one of the three untransmitted innate martial arts of the Jin Mansion, and it was said to be very terrible.
Now, Li Yan saw it.
Jin Fengguang slowly pulled out his spear, his face did not change at all.
Afterwards, he stabbed several times in succession, and a hole with a diameter of one foot slowly formed on the Broken Dragon Stone.
When sweat appeared on Jin Fengguang's face and he began to breathe heavily, the hole was truly formed.
"Dang", that was the sound of the Broken Dragon Stone falling.
"Quick, pull these Broken Dragon Stones out."
Jin Fenglei, who was next to Jin Fengguang, said hurriedly.
So, the closest few members of the Jin family hurried forward to pull out the Broken Dragon Stone pillars in the hole.
Each of them had the strength of eight or nine tripods, and with the help of rich blood and qi, they easily pulled out the nearly eight-foot-long dragon-breaking stone pillar.
After the dragon-breaking stone with a diameter of less than one foot fell on the gravel ground, it immediately sank straight down.
Li Yan was very curious about the material of the dragon-breaking stone, and hurried forward to check it. Many people who were as curious as him came forward to watch.
"Such a hard stone, with my grip, I can't leave any marks at all."
"Of course, didn't you see that Uncle Feng Lei, an innate warrior, couldn't do anything with this stone? Not to mention you, a blood exchange realm."
Holding the heavy and hard dragon-breaking stone, Li Yan truly realized the power of the innate master.
The most important thing was done, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became more relaxed.
Li Yan, pretending to be Jin Yan, was brought to Jin Huolin by his father. He introduced a few words and mixed his face, which made Jin Huolin more impressed with Jin Yan.
If there are any errands in the future that require people, at least Jin Yan will be considered by Jin Huolin.
After that, Li Yan will have nothing to do.
He only needs to watch as batches of stewards and guards come down from above and line up to enter the narrow Broken Dragon Stone Cave, exploring unknown and dangerous places for the Jin Mansion and for themselves.
"I don't know how many people will be left in the end."
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed in his heart.
