After saying that, the old man picked up the pocket watch again and said to us: "The third master's pocket watch was handed over from foreigners. The scratch on it was scratched by me with a knife when I was six years old. It's this."

The old man pointed at the case with his fingers as he spoke, and there was indeed a short and deep mark on the position of his fingers.

Just imagine, the old man is already a hundred years old and still remembers what happened when he was a child. If it weren't for his amazing memory, it was because the two things in front of him left a deep impression on him.

Thinking back to the fact that every time he mentioned Su Santong, his tone was a bit warm. It can be seen that the relationship between the old man and Su Santong should be very good.

The master took out the pocket watch from the old man, looked carefully and handed it to me.

I looked through the two sides of the pocket watch. There was a five-clawed cloud dragon on the front, and a small line of characters on the back: "Ten years of Tongzhi, Yu Heng Qing Lishu."

In ancient times, words were usually arranged from right to left into sentences, but this line of words was very special, arranged from left to right.

At that time, I only knew that the tenth year of Tongzhi was about the same year. As for the Yuheng Qing Lisi, I don’t know what it means.

I couldn't help asking my master: "What is Yu Heng Qing Lishu?"

The master was checking Su Santong's corpse at that time, but he did not respond to me.

Huang Changsheng, who was standing by, explained to me: "This is the Qing Dynasty imperial technician in charge of manufacturing various official instruments. It belongs to one of the four departments under the Ministry of Works. This pocket watch also flowed out of the palace."

At this time, the master stood up and said to Old Master Huang with a serious expression: "There is a change in the corpse. It seems that when Master Su San committed suicide, the corpse had already appeared on his body."

When I heard the Master's words, my heart twitched.

Before death, the corpse transforms into a living person. Isn’t it the corpse that has been transformed into a living person? My eyes were on the chest of the corpse. The master just opened his jacket and saw a bulge like a mark on its sternum. The "Zhan Cai Lu" says that this phenomenon is called corpse spots into the bones. This kind of spot marks does not exist on ordinary evil corpses, and it is only seen in some mutated armored corpses. However, armored corpses cannot naturally become corpses and must be refined by special corpses.

In other words, someone tried to train Su Santong into an evil corpse. Moreover, Su Santong died of a skull and his brain was destroyed. It is impossible for a corpse to transform into a corpse. He was refined by someone while he was alive. If this is not a corpse refining, what is it?

Thinking of these in my mind, Luo Youfang's image came to my mind again.

The old man looked at Su Santong's corpse and couldn't speak for a moment. My master sighed and said to him: "Let Master Su San be buried in peace."

My master's intention was probably to ask Mr. Huang to bury Su Santong's remains on the spot.

However, the floor of the tomb passage was paved with bluestone, so it was impossible to force a hole to bury the bones. In the end, the old man decided to take Su Santong's bones out and find a place to bury them in a beautiful and elegant manner.

Huang Changrong took out part of the things in his backpack and put Su Santong's corpse in it. The old man originally wanted my master to help Su Santong do a ritual. After all, it was disrespectful to his ancestors to move the corpse at will. The old man's request was not too much, but my master would not do such a ritual at all, and the Shuzheng lineage did not have such a inheritance.

Afterwards, the master suggested that the old man leave the tomb and find Taoist Master Li and Master Chengyun to do the rituals. After that, he said that there was not much time and urged us to continue to move towards the depths of the tomb.

It has been about two hours since we got to the tomb. We will find our way out tomorrow at noon. Time is indeed a bit urgent.

Xian'er was still walking in front of her with the light on the light. I followed her with a green steel sword, while the master walked behind me.

As the energy continued to deepen, the air became more and more intense, and even the corpse energy became much stronger than before. The master was afraid that everyone would not be able to hold on, so he distributed the candy again, but it could not stand the number of people. After the second time, the master did not have much left in his pocket.

The cracks on the walls and top of the tomb passage became increasingly dense. When we reached the second half, some of the bluestone slabs on the ground were broken.

And among the gravels scattered on the ground, some dark powders could be vaguely seen. Because against the backdrop of fox fire, everything in the tomb passage was shaking green, I couldn't tell what color those powders were. I only knew that their color was very dark and should be closer to pure black.

Huang Changsheng sniffed a small pinch of powder from the ground and said, "It's black gunpowder, an explosion occurred in the tomb passage."

The master nodded: "It seems that Master Su San wanted to blow up this tomb passage back then."

At this time, Xian'er suddenly said, "What is that?"

My previous attention was always on Huang Changsheng and my master. After hearing Xian'er's shout, I turned my gaze to Xian'er and saw Xian'er pointing directly in front of us.

Looking in the direction of her finger, I saw a large black object on the ground in the distance.

The master asked me to go over and take a look and told me to be more careful.

Xian'er and I walked forward for a while before we could see that it was a black cannon, which was about the same thickness as my waist. It was the kind of ancient cannon with a wide tail and a narrow head. The wooden base had rotted, and the entire cannon body was lying on the ground in silence.

And in the direction opposite the muzzle, there is a stone wall that was blown up.

Seeing that there was no danger, I waved to my master and the others.

When the master came to me, he first glanced at the cannon body that fell on the ground, then at the blown stone wall, and said to me: "It seems that Su Santong originally wanted to enter the other side of the stone wall, but why did he blow up the tomb passage?"

The master did not mean asking in his tone, but was discussing with me.

I said, "I probably found something that I couldn't deal with, so I exploded the tomb when I escaped. But how did Su Santong transform into a corpse? Is it because he touched something in the tomb, and even the corpse changes caused by evil energy entering the body, or was it plotted by someone? And Master, how did this cannon be transported in? The bronze chain we walked through should not be able to withstand the weight of the cannon, right?"

After so many years with Master, this is the first time I have talked to Master like this.

The master reached out and grabbed the edge of the muzzle, lifted it hard, but didn't lift it.

Afterwards, the master pondered for a while and said, "It's too heavy. Su Santong couldn't come in alone. At that time, someone else must have followed him to the tomb."

I continued to say to my master: "But there is only Su Santong in the tomb passage. The purple zombie in the tomb chamber is also very strange. Why do I think the python robe on him looks so similar to the one left by Old Eunuch Huang?"

The master said "um" and said, "Something must have happened when Su Santong was in the tomb. He died for too long, and his soul had dissipated. Now he can't use small arithmetic to deduce what happened at the beginning."

The small arithmetic includes a calculation method called "Yan Po", which can deduce what happened before a person dies through the remaining souls of the dead. Unfortunately, I was not good at learning at that time and had not fully mastered this kind of algorithm.

A moment later, the master raised his chin toward the blown stone wall and said to me: "We don't have much time, go in and explore the way first, be careful of everything."

I nodded to the master and walked into the wall hole with Xian'er that was blown up by the cannon. The person behind was once again blocked by the master from the entrance of the hole.

A huge tomb chamber was connected to the other end of the wall hole, and there was a strong wind rushing around. After I entered, the sharp sound of wind passed by my ears, causing my eardrums to stir up constantly. I could feel a large number of corpse qi on the other side of the wind, but the corpse qi was blown away by the wind, and only a very small part of it emanated along the opening of the wall. At the same time, a familiar chill surged from the black water corpse coffin behind to prevent corpse qi from invading my body.

With the fox fire of Xian'er, I could see many holes of different sizes chiseled on the surrounding walls, and the wind blew out of those holes.

On the ceiling of the tomb is embedded with a thick chain that emits a strong and energetic spirit, extending from the top of the blown wall to the top of the stone door at the end of the tomb.

Xian'er deliberately slowed down and walked forward slowly against me. After we passed through the area covered by the wind, an extremely strong corpse gas mixed with a lot of qi spread in the tomb chamber in the second half.

I saw a piece of stone brick on the ground not far away, as if it had been lifted up, and a whole piece of land was piled on the ground, and a huge hole appeared in the place without the stone bricks.

I winked at Xian'er, and then slowly approached the hole. Xian'er seemed a little scared and handed me the fox fire lantern, and then she crawled back into my body.

At that time, I could already notice that the corpse energy in the tomb came from the cave, and I was very nervous. When I approached the edge of the cave, I shone it in with a lantern, and what I saw were dozens of evil corpses wearing armor.

Judging from the strong corpse energy emitted from their bodies, I knew that those things were evil corpses. They were lined up in several rows and stood neatly at the deepest part of the cave. I roughly measured that each evil corpse was much taller than a normal person, and there was a layer of metal-like luster on their exposed skin outside the armor.

These evil corpses were all armored corpses. At this time, they seemed to be suppressed by some kind of force. Apart from the corpse energy, they did not emit the evil energy that armored corpses should have.

I didn't dare to stay near the cave for more. After taking a look, I walked towards the stone door on the other side of the tomb.

After learning that there were a large number of armored corpses in the tomb, I became extremely careful in every move, for fear that if I was not careful, I would disturb the armored corpses. When I walked, I would also look back and look back from time to time.
