Chapter 11

Kiyoshi Genko, who wanted to run out of the tunnel, lowered his head and saw the tip of a sword sticking out of his right shoulder.

Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain. Kiyoshi Genko immediately understood – even though the stab was off target, his master had indeed stabbed him!

His master really did want to kill him!

Kiyoshi Genko had always been terrified of Mako Shigeki, but even an ant would struggle to survive. At this moment, his survival instincts suppressed his fear. He knew that he would not be able to outrun Mako Shigeki's sword, so he clenched his teeth and turned around to face Mako Shigeki. He began to wrestle with his master.

Kiyoshi Genko's reflexes were out of Mako Shigeki's expectations. He was caught off guard and was held tightly by Kiyoshi Genko.

Zhong Zhenzi's swordsmanship was still somewhat mature, but in close combat, he was really not good. Qing Yuan Zi was also on the verge of death, so he was actually tangled up with him for a moment. The two of them wrestled for quite a while.

His trash disciple, who had always been afraid of him, was now like a mad tiger. Seeing him in such a sorry state, Zhongzhen Zi, who was already somewhat out of his mind, became even more deranged. He used his internal energy to exert all his strength. Not long after, he grabbed Qing Yuan Zi by the neck and threw him straight in the direction of the stone door. Then, he quickly added a sword, piercing through his chest and abdomen.

Blood spurted out. Kiyoshi Genko groaned for a while and finally stopped breathing.

Mako Shigeki, whose face was covered in blood, seemed to have regained some consciousness. He looked at the lifeless Kiyoshi Genko and his mind was in chaos. He was angry and sad.

When the Mongol army burned down the Chongyang Palace, the Quanzhen Sect was scattered to different parts of Jianghu. Later on, when the Mongol army had burned down the Chongyang Palace, the Quanzhen Sect was scattered to different parts of Jianghu. Later on, the Yuan Dynasty did not have any intention of controlling religion. Qiu Chuji had also "preached" to Genghis Khan, and some of the Mongol nobles believed in Taoism.

Chongyang Palace had once been prosperous, but the later generations of disciples were unworthy. After many twists and turns, it slowly weakened, and its orthodoxy was not passed down. In Chongzhen Zi's generation, even the incantations were lost. The only thing left in his body was the internal energy that his master had passed down to him before he died.

Thinking of his master, Chongyang Shigeki's eyes filled with tears. He thought angrily, "Master, I am sorry. Before you died, you passed your internal energy to me. You also ignored the teachings of the sect and told me the secrets of the tomb. It is a pity that your disciple is useless. I have worked my whole life and still have not accomplished anything. It is difficult for me to continue the tradition of the sect …"

Thinking of this, he looked at Kiyoshi Genko's body lying there. When he first took this orphan as his disciple, he just wanted to have a coolie to help him. But after so many years of raising him, he still had feelings for him. Even if this disciple despised him and Chongyang Palace, now that his life's hope was destroyed and he killed him with his own hands, he didn't feel it when he was in a daze. But now that he regained his senses, he began to feel pain.

But after a while, he was filled with anger. He thought, "If you weren't so stupid and short-sighted, and didn't betray your master, why would I kill you?"

But then he thought, "No wonder my disciple is short-sighted and stupid. He has never seen a good martial art in his life. He doesn't know what it is like to be outstanding. Naturally, he can only see the things in his bowl."

For many years, Mako Shigeki had suffered all kinds of disdain. His heart was full of ambition, but he had always been down and out. The only reason he didn't give up was because he still had hope in his heart – to enter the tomb and obtain the secret manual of the peerless martial art.

Now that his hope was destroyed, his mind was deranged. He had thousands of thoughts, it was inevitable that he would be happy and sad, angry and resentful.

In the end, Mako Shigeki, who was on the verge of going mad, couldn't control himself and fiercely slapped the wall with his palm. He thought, "If this is the end, what is the point of living?"

However, it was this palm that shook off the stone door frame between the stone door and the stone wall.

Mako Shigeki was stunned at first, but when he looked carefully, he was overjoyed. It turned out that although the explosion didn't blow through the stone wall or the stone door, it did blow off the stone door frame between them. Just now, when Mako Shigeki and Kiyoshi Genko were wrestling, Kiyoshi Genko was thrown against the stone door, and the door frame was shaken. At this time, Mako Shigeki slapped the door frame hard, and the door frame fell off, revealing a half-foot long rectangular gap.

He was saved from death.

Although this feeling made people have mixed feelings, it was enough to pull Mako Shigeki, who was on the verge of collapse, back to his senses.

Mako Shigeki, who was "awake", looked at Kiyoshi Genko lying on the ground and sighed in his heart. He thought, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to make a move … What a freak combination of factors … Stupid disciple, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck."

With this thought, he looked at his disciple's twisted body on the ground, and his heart couldn't bear it. He stretched out his hand and wanted to tidy up his disciple. At the very least, he didn't look so miserable, and at least his clothes were more tidy … However, just as he moved his hand, a piece of silver about two taels of silver fell out from Kiyoshi Genko's clothes.

The quality of the silver was obviously good, and the color was very bright … Looking at it carefully, it was obviously from a larger piece of silver that was clipped off with pliers. The edge of the silver looked very familiar …

Wasn't this the same as the three taels of silver that the rich kid gave him when he stayed at the inn!?

The three taels of silver had a "round belly" protruding out, and the one that fell out of his stupid disciple's clothes had a "hole" in it. His stupid disciple said that the kid gave him three taels, but now it seemed that he gave him five taels!

He let this deceiving idiot steal two taels of silver!

Mako Shigeki was furious, and the regret and guilt he felt from killing Kiyoshi Genko instantly disappeared. He didn't help his disciple tidy up the corpse, and instead lifted his leg and kicked Kiyoshi Genko's corpse far away. He thought angrily, "This kid definitely didn't do this for the first time!

I don't know how many times he did this in the past!

I don't know how much money I earned from performing rituals and observing feng shui for people! "

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The sadness he felt just now was completely washed away by his anger. He angrily walked around in circles, and felt that it was more important to get down to business. Only then did Mako Shigeki calm down. He checked the things he had brought with him, lit a candle, and peeked into the tomb through the gap, wanting to test if the air inside was breathable.

The moment the candle was lit, a dried-up human face entered his sight. It was lying in the gap, staring at Mako Shigeki with a smile.

Mako Shigeki screamed and threw away the candle in his hand.

Although there were torches placed in the tunnel beforehand, it was still very dim. Mako Shigeki rolled and crawled backwards, and finally got away from the direction of the stone door. When he saw that the "zombie skeleton" behind the stone door did not "chase" him out, he calmed down.

After an unknown amount of time, Mako Shigeki, whose rationality overcame his fear, held back his trembling. He lit another candle and carefully looked at it. He saw that the skeleton's face in the gap of the stone door still had most of its skin and flesh. Half of it was black and dry, and it was sticking to the bones. The black eye sockets were "staring" at Mako Shigeki.

Mako Shigeki shuddered. Fortunately, the candle in his hand did not fall, so he moved the candle up and down with trembling hands to carefully observe the female corpse lying in the gap.

Yes, the skeleton's face that scared Mako Shigeki so much that he almost wet himself was "growing" on a corpse, a female corpse.

Although she had become a dried-up corpse, there was still a lot of hair on the top of her head that had not rotted. There was a plum blossom pattern silver hairpin in the hair that had not rotted. It might have been used to tie up hair when she was alive, so it had not rotted.

The female corpse's clothes were also mostly intact. She was wearing a mud-gold satin round collar shirt with a chrysanthemum pattern, and a dark brown horse-face skirt.

Using a plum blossom pattern hairpin to tie up hair and wearing a skirt, it could only be a woman.

He picked up the sword that he had thrown aside and poked it. The skeleton woman, who had already become a dried-up corpse, fell to the ground with a clatter of bones, creating a gap.

It was just a corpse.

Mako Shigeki breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought, how could this corpse be lying in the gap of the stone door?

The words that Ling Wan carved on the stone wall, Mako Shigeki had already been read by Tang Qingyu more than ten years ago. In addition, the ancestors of Chongyang Palace had a relationship with the Ancient Tombs, so it was not difficult to sort out all the old stories from the rise to the fall of the Ancient Tombs. If it was not so, he would not have dared to have the idea of entering the tomb – with his current strength, how could he be the opponent of the inheritors of the tomb who had not yet lost their inheritance?

At this time, seeing this strange female corpse, Mako Shigeki was puzzled. After thinking over and over again, he suddenly understood. He raised his head and laughed three times, saying, "The stupidity of a good person!

The stupidity of a good person! "

He was originally from a poor family. By chance, he was able to enter Chongyang Palace, which was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Originally, he was lucky enough to peek into the lives of the upper class and witness the prestige of the peerless masters. But when he saw "what he could not eat", it was even more tempting than not seeing it at all. Guarding the "treasure" of the ancient tomb and not being able to enter, over time, his mentality inevitably became distorted. He was especially jealous of those who were born in famous families or those who were lucky enough to be accepted as disciples of large sects. He could not bear to see them in glory, and was especially happy to see them in trouble.

After laughing, Mako Shigeki felt that his chest was filled with a "heroic spirit". He had the confidence that the world was in his hands. So he stepped forward and squeezed through the gap in the door frame.

The gap was about half a foot wide and was not very wide. Luckily, Mako Shigeki was not fat and was able to squeeze through. It was just that it was easy for him to squeeze through the narrow parts of his body. For example, his head could move freely and flexibly through the gap. It was also easy for him to squeeze through the chest. But the fleshy and wide parts of his body, such as his buttocks and abdomen, were stuck and could not move. Mako Shigeki was trying his best to suck in air and shrink his abdomen. He also adjusted his angle, trying to get the fattest part of his body to "pass" smoothly.

However, at this time, in the dim corridor, there was a light laugh.

Mako Shigeki shivered and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. His movements were so hurried that he rubbed off a layer of blood on the uneven stone wall.

There was no one.

But Mako Shigeki still felt his hair stand on end.

It was no wonder that Mako Shigeki felt his hair stand on end.

He was about to enter an ancient tomb that could suffocate people to death. There were countless corpses inside. In the corridor outside, the body of the disciple he had just killed was still lying in front of him. Not to mention the body of his lover, Ah Soo, who he had dumped in the corridor the day before, and the child who came out of nowhere to stay.

Even though he did not hesitate to do these things, in his heart, especially at this time and place, he still felt his hair stand on end.

This was the instinctive fear of the unknown, or perhaps it could be said that it was the "ghost" that he did not know existed.

Mako Shigeki's forehead was sweating. He stared at the corridor for a long time, but did not see anyone.

Time passed little by little. Mako Shigeki began to suspect that the light laugh he had just heard was an illusion caused by his nervousness. He was afraid and hesitant, but he could not just stare foolishly at the corridor because of a laugh that he did not know whether it was an illusion or not. He was still stuck in the gap and had not entered!

Just as Mako Shigeki was about to try again to enter the ancient tomb, there was another light laugh.

This time, Mako Shigeki was sure that he had heard it clearly. He was so shocked that he suddenly turned his head, but he was met with a handsome face.

This face was beautiful, really beautiful. But no matter how beautiful it was, Mako Shigeki could not appreciate it. This was because this face was not only beautiful, but also familiar!

He was familiar, of course he was familiar with it. This was the face of the rich kid who had come to stay with him yesterday!

That rich kid was dead. He was dead. He was very sure of it.

If he was dead and appeared in front of him again, then was the owner of this face a living person or a dead person?

Frightened out of his wits, Zhongzhen Zi began to struggle frantically. Out of habit, he wanted to touch the sword at his waist. However, he forgot that he was stuck in a crack in the wall and the sword wasn't at his waist. Therefore, he was still stuck in the crack even though there were wounds on his body.

Tang Qingyu chuckled. Then, Mako Shigeki felt a chill in his throat. His whole body was suffocating. He desperately stuck out his tongue to breathe, but he still could not breathe.

He saw stars. He only felt that the rich kid in front of him was glowing. A bunch of strange "characters" were rapidly rotating in this person's flesh. Or it could be said that this person was filled with these rapidly rotating "characters".

Was a person not filled with flesh and bones?

How could a person be made of "characters"?

Unfortunately, Mako Shigeki did not have time to think of an answer to this question. He did not even know if this strange scene in front of him was real. He was about to die, and it was normal for people who were about to die to hallucinate.
