Chapter 27: The Monk's Request

  Xiaoyu's face changed greatly, and the bone tooth's attack power was something she couldn't withstand. Bai Qi summoned four symbol soldiers without hesitation, hastily arranging them in front of him. However, Xiaoyu knew that the defense of the symbol soldiers might not be stronger than that of the Great Jin Dynasty's iron armor warriors. If the bone tooth pierced through the symbol soldiers, it could still kill Bai Qi.

  That black giant snake, at least a mid-grade magic artifact, was unable to withstand the attacks of Xiao Yu and Bai Jian, yet it couldn't attack that purple-robed cultivator either. It could only sit and wait for its own death. On top of this tall arrow tower, there was no cover, nor any way to dodge.

  "Don't panic, young master, I'm here."

  As they spoke, Luo appeared on the ground with a nine-ring tin stick in his hand. He jumped up and came directly under the big snake, inserting the nine-ring tin stick into the belly of the big snake. This big snake was a law enforcement tool, not a real spiritual object. After the Zen stick was inserted, the big snake suddenly softened and fell to the ground.

  Naruo was also unable to fly, and after jumping several meters, he fell down as well. The four symbol soldiers of Bai Qi had already been pierced by the poisonous fangs spat out by the giant snake at this time. Bai Qi spat out a sword pellet, colliding with it, and the four bone teeth and the moon wheel sword pellet collided together, cut open by the sharp sword pellet, flying to both sides. Xiaoyu opened his mouth and spat out a burst of wild wind, blowing away the black mist that burst out from the bone teeth.

  The purple-robed cultivator's magic tool was broken, but he couldn't escape now. The four red-robed monks rushed up to him and didn't engage in a magical battle, instead they drew out their Buddhist knives and hacked at him.

  The four monks of the Red Lotus Temple had their hands covered in bloodstains, and they seemed to be squirming as if there was blood flowing inside, looking very eerie.

  The monks of this Red Lotus Temple are orthodox Buddhists, but their methods of cultivation and the weapons they use look very intimidating.

  That purple-robed cultivator hastily took out a deep red shield, which flew in the air and blocked four sword qi. Luo fell to the ground, and by Bai Qi's ear sounded the voice of his wet nurse, Yu Lin: "Qi'er, you can follow that monk, nothing will happen."

  "Ah Niang, how about you?"

  "I'll be waiting for you inside Qin Wang's tomb. That monk will definitely bring you in, I shouldn't show my face." Yulin said, her voice disappearing.

  Xiao Yu also heard the words of his mother, and the two of them looked at each other at the four soldiers' corpses, but they couldn't do anything about it, so they just threw them on top of the arrow tower. Bai Qi jumped down with a loud thud, Xiao Yu following close behind him. After landing, however, he saw Luo Jiang take out a large and ancient-looking mirror, its surface adorned with mysterious inscriptions from a bygone era.

  Two ferocious and gigantic heavenly demons burst out of the mirror, lifted up the giant snake on the ground, and dragged it directly into the mirror.

  The Tianmo Mirror in the Honglian Temple is also an independent space that can raise Tianmo. Luo Jiang's Tianmo Mirror was much smaller than the one Bai Qi saw at the Honglian Temple, only three feet high. However, the smaller the Tianmo Mirror is, the more powerful it is.

  Luo saw Bai Qi jump down from the arrow tower and hastily said: "Bai Gongzi, this military camp can no longer be stayed in. The Heavenly Emperor's Inspection Envoy has personally come, if he finds out you're here, he'll definitely order people to surround and attack."

  "Master, save me!" At this time, Bai Qi was at a loss for what to do.

  Luo hesitated for a moment, then said: "The Qi cultivators I've gathered dare not directly confront the Heavenly Court. Only my fellow disciples from the temple are willing to take risks with me. While no one is paying attention, White Young Master, let's sneak into the Wang Mausoleum and wait for your father's rescue team, how about it?"

  "Everything will be done according to the master's instructions!" Bai Qi couldn't wait and made Luo feel a bit embarrassed. He himself wanted to enter the Netherworld, search for the source of the Dragon Vein, and claim it as his own. However, using this as an excuse to protect Bai Qi wasn't a problem either. Even if the Heavenly Emperor's inspector was powerful, he wouldn't dare to venture deep into the Netherworld. People from the Heavenly Realm had an intense aversion to this polluted land, and a single mouthful of corpse poison would cause the inspector's rank to drop by two or three levels.

  An ordinary Qi cultivator, on the other hand, has no such scruples. At least some equipment and spells can be used in the tomb. For the practitioners of Dragon Tiger Mountain, zombies are the best puppet materials, the more the better.

  Xiao Yu silently followed behind Bai Qi, carrying a short sword. Luo Jiang shouted and eight red-robed monks emerged from the shadows. Luo Jiang said: "Protect Young Master Bai, let's enter the Qin King's Mausoleum!"

  "What about our junior brothers?"

  "They left, lest the Duke mistakenly misunderstand." Luo Jiang said, putting away the Tianmo Mirror, holding the Jiuhuan Zixiang staff, and rushing towards the direction of the mausoleum in big strides. The area near Qin Wang's Mausoleum was a no-fly zone, which didn't matter to the monks from Honglian Temple, as these monks were also skilled martial artists, and some of them were even powerful demons with boundless strength.

  Several monks approached Bai Qi, and the gourd in his strange space let out a greedy growl, as if it wanted to swallow these monks.

  When Bai Qi saw that the Wei Lin army was about to follow a group of monks, he immediately stepped forward to stop them. Although the Tian Shi Xun Cha Shi was shouting loudly at that time, these Wei Lin soldiers did not collapse and remained loyal to their duties. Bai Qi saw this scene and had a vague premonition in his heart that all these things might be manipulated by the heavenly court.

  When humanity prospers, the Heavenly Court cannot intervene in worldly affairs. In the days of Qin Huang's reign, Qi practitioners were chased away like fleeing dogs and chickens, living in constant fear, yet the Heavenly Court did not impose any punishment, enduring for thousands of years.

  The situation is critical, no time to think twice. He said to the leading officer of the Feathered Forest Army: "If all of you come with me, it will attract heavenly attention. Send twenty people with me, and... find someone to disguise as me."

  This was a clever move by Bai Qi, giving the Yu Lin soldiers an excuse. If he had tried to persuade them with empty words, they would have refused to leave him even if they were beaten to death. The officer also made a decisive decision, nodded in agreement after hearing Bai Qi's words, and then selected twenty of the most elite soldiers, adding divine arm crossbows to each of them before allowing Bai Qi to leave.

  Twenty elite soldiers of the Great Jin, who could deal with one or two Qi-refining cultivators in the early stages, and even then only when surrounded. Bai Qi brought these people along, knowing they were useless, but couldn't let that officer struggle.

  Lu saw Bai Qi's actions and shook his head secretly. The gap between the world of cultivators and ordinary people was enormous. Although Bai Qi had probably already embarked on this path, he didn't realize it.

  Bai Qi stretched his muscles and bones, then ordered the soldier to take out twelve sets of iron armor from the barracks. He summoned a group of soldiers wearing the armor, which had poor defensive capabilities but extremely strong carrying capacity, allowing them to wear three layers of iron armor. Against Nascent Soul stage cultivators, this armor was useless, but against Qi Refining stage cultivators, breaking through the armor would require considerable effort.

  More than twenty people in a row, sneaking through the big camp, sticking to the forest, and rushing into the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

  Everyone's attention was drawn to the battle between Bai Jian and Lian Qi Shi, and Luo managed to conceal his breath with half of his skill, fortunately without being discovered.

  The large temple on the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was demolished by Emperor Wu of Jin and replaced with a smaller spirit tower. The spirit tower is also damaged, and a huge gap has been opened in the underground passage of the mausoleum.

  Luo took out a stack of paper symbols and distributed them to everyone, saying: "The air below is toxic, stick them all on your heart."

  The soldiers guarding Bai Qi saw the dark below, and those who hesitated did not dare to let Bai Qi enter. However, after sticking the paper symbols, these soldiers suddenly felt that their eyes were brightened, although not as good as daytime, they could also see several zhang far away.

  Luo Jiang didn't mind spending money on paper symbols either. In order to enter the Qin Wang Mausoleum, he made thorough preparations and spent a large amount of jade stones to buy a huge quantity of disposable equipment.

  Ming Xin Fu is not precious, but its use is wide-ranging. Some poor cultivators continue to use it even until the later stages of Lian Shen.

  The Jin Emperor only overturned the ground buildings of the Qin King's Mausoleum, and did not touch the underground buildings. This is the style of ancient nobility. Of course, its fundamental meaning lies in the fact that everyone fears that they will have such a day too, if things are done without leaving any leeway, it is likely to end up with the same fate.

  The passageway of the mausoleum is spacious and can accommodate four large carriages side by side. After entering underground, the air is surprisingly better. A zombie comes face to face without any intention of attacking, Luo summons two heavenly demons, pounces on it, and drags this zombie into the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

  The underground of the Qin Mausoleum is a huge palace. Bai Qi saw that in the palace, there were numerous pottery figurines standing or lying down, wearing armor and holding weapons, with vivid expressions, as if they would come to life at any moment and continue to fight for the Qin Emperor.

  In the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, twelve emperors from previous dynasties were buried. Bai Qi and his men entered the tomb of the last emperor of Qin. The air inside was extremely cold, Bai Qi was fine, but the soldiers' hands had already become stiff.

  Luo Jiang seemed to have come to Wang Ling's tomb, bringing Bai Qi and others straight to the main hall. Along the way, they encountered lone zombies and would summon Tian Mo to capture them by force. If there were too many zombies, they would bypass them.

  Bai Qi is no longer too afraid of those zombies, he takes out the Li? divine gun, and does not rush to fight, but observes how the monks are doing. Luo Jiang brings Bai Qi to a main hall, turns around and closes the palace gate, and a group of monks start sticking paper symbols on the doors and windows of the great hall.

  Luo spoke up at this time and said to Bai Qi: "Bai Gongzi, you also saw it, I came to the Qin Wang Mausoleum with ulterior motives."

  "What does 'master' mean?" Bai Qi didn't pretend to be tense, his Liyuan divine gun was taken out, and he couldn't deceive Luo Jiang, this monk who was equivalent to a Hua Shen period cultivator.

  "Qin Emperor's Dragon Pulse, I'm doing this for that." Luo Jiang looked at Bai Qi, who remained expressionless.

  "Master, I'm not capable of finding dragon veins."

  "You don't need to lift a finger, your father is holding off those Qi Refiners outside. We'll take care of things here and after we get the Dragon Pulse, Honglian Temple will get half."

  "Can I have half?" Bai Qi asked in surprise.

  "Hey, don't give me half, if the Duke of Guo finds trouble with me, Honglian Temple will be removed from Zhongzhou." Luo Jiang replied very frankly. If Bai Qi didn't have a good old father, he wouldn't have gotten any benefits at all.
