Nine Eyes Heavenly Bead - C27
“The tomb in the middle should be the tomb of the Lord Fu Changqing that the old master spoke of. Sigh, I never thought that the once glorious official in charge of sealing the borders and the director of the Monastery Bureau would be buried in such a pathetic state. In this remote and desolate area, there is only such a slope, and that would be his final resting place for the rest of his life.” Yu Jingyan could not help but exclaim.
Most of the tombs had tombstones. Although they were called tombstones, in reality, they were just pieces of rotten wood, and the tombstones engraved on the wood were so simple that it made one’s heart ache. The epitaph engraved on the wooden boards was also very painful: Guardian Warrior Zhang Yong, Guardian Warrior Pu Qiong, Guardian Warrior Jiu, Protector Warrior Chef, Protector Warrior Tian Sheng …
Only the names were not detailed.
There was no date of birth, only the words “Twenty-seven years of the Republic of China”.
There were also many tombs that did not even have simple tombstones.
“These are the bravest warriors who served their country on the frontier, who used their lives to attack the German elite, whose lives were forever fixed at twenty-seven years of the Republic… Before that, they were mostly fathers and sons, but now they had become little mounds of dirt and such simple tablets … “Sigh!” Thinking about it here, Yu Jingyan’s eyes became teary, and tears of gratitude flowed down his cheeks for these heroes that he had never met before.
The three of them walked very slowly. After seeing so many tombs and tablets, everyone felt that they were no longer as cold as they were before.
He finally arrived at the largest tomb. It had a tombstone, a large granite tombstone.
“I don’t think there’s such a large piece of granite in the middle of the plains at Qiang Tong deep within this place. Looks like someone brought it here from far away.” Yu Jingyan thought.
On the huge tombstone, was carved the life of the legendary Fu Changqing …
After confirming that there were no dangers around, Yu Jingyan, Silang and Chen Xi stood respectfully in front of Fu Changqing’s grave, carefully reading the epitaph.
On the tombstone, there were three large words, “Fu Changqing’s Tomb”, followed by a small word.
“Fu Changqing, born in an unknown year, was killed in the Republic of China for twenty-seven years. After being a disciple of the Qing Dynasty’s Bazhong and a famous official during Emperor Qianlong’s time, Fu Kangan, he served in Xinjiang, and his specific circumstances were unknown. After more than thirty years of hiding, Ma Cheng, a bandit from the Northwest of China, had outnumbered Gan Tzu Prefecture and the West, but the enemy armies had increased their forces to the south of the kingdom. They had fought a fierce battle with the Dragon God, slain the Spirit Severing Mage Sard and severely injured the Young Master Qingyi’s Ma Jian Camp. They had fought a war against the cavalry in order to protect the southwest gate of China. His life’s achievements were like the bright moon shining down on the earth from high up in the sky, like a cold winter sun warming a person’s heart! After Changqing, there were no longer any officials stationed here. “The Heart of Alchemy shines through the ages, the soul of loyalty shines through the ages!”
At the end of the epitaph, it was signed “Good Friend”. There were five words underneath the word “Good Friend”, but those words had been cut out. From the distance, there were probably two names.
After reading Fu Changqing’s epitaph, Yu Jingyan was deeply moved.
“Lao Chen, Silang, what’s buried here is a great hero that can support both heaven and earth. Life is like this, death has no regrets!” Yu Jingyan said sincerely.
With that, the three of them knelt in front of Fu Changqing’s grave and kowtowed.
After getting up, Yu Jingyan exclaimed, he felt that just as he was standing up, he touched the people behind him.
However, Silang was on his left, Chen Xi was on his right, and there was no one behind him …
Suddenly, he turned around and saw a dark figure a little taller than him standing behind him.
Immediately following that, another three black shadows appeared around him.
Yu Jingyan took a deep breath, only then did he realize that there was more than one loyal soul guarding this place, there were at least four.
The auras being emitted by the four black figures were extremely similar, the grievances, the power of protection, and the deep cold energy made Yu Jingyan feel an incomparable headache.
“It’s already difficult to defend against just one, but now there’s four of them. What the f * ck is he …” Yu Jingyan thought.
“What are you doing here?” One of the shadows spoke up.
Without waiting for Lao Yu’s reply, another shadow by the side immediately asked: “You recognize them?”
“Yes, previously, I sensed that there were other people nearby, I saw them in the Cangbaron Temple. The Old Chiba in the temple said that the three of them stayed in the temple because they could not leave due to the lack of oil, but now, it seems like the Old Chiba must have lied, and these three people did not stay in the temple.”
“Who are you people? Why have you come here?” Another shadow spoke up.
As the leader of the three-man team, Yu Jingyan could only bite the bullet and say: “Um, we were just unable to sleep in the temple, that’s why we came out to look around, upon seeing the cemetery, we curiously came over to check, and then we were fortunate enough to see Lord Fu Changqing’s epitaph, after reading the epitaph of Great Master Fu, the three of us admire him, didn’t we just kowtow here to pay our respects, everyone, don’t misunderstand, we have no other intentions.”
“Is that so? Now that you all have finished kowtowing, it’s time to go, isn’t it? ” said a dark figure.
Yu Jingyan nodded, then pulled Silang and Chen Xi to leave. In front of the four almighty and loyal souls, Yu Jingyan suddenly felt that the Nine eyes Heavenly Bead wasn’t that important.
However, just when they were about to leave, the compass in his arms started spinning again.
In the dead of night, the sound of the compass became exceptionally ear-piercing.
With no other choice, Yu Jingyan took out the compass, and awkwardly said: “This thing has failed, and I have let everyone laugh at it. This is an ordinary compass, going out is used to differentiate the directions.”
“Really? Then why is your compass spinning on its own?” said a dark figure.
Yu Jingyan scratched his head and explained, “Maybe there’s something wrong with it. I’ll look for Xiuxiu later …”
“Big brother, don’t listen to his nonsense, this isn’t a normal compass at all, this is a high grade compass used in conjunction with the Treasure Seeking Arts. Three of you, come to my tomb late at night for the treasures!”
With that, a cold wind blew!
The temperature rapidly dropped, and a cold chill went straight into the bone marrow.
“Brothers, it’s a misunderstanding. I don’t know what Treasure Seeking Arts it is …” Yu Jingyan continued to explain.
“Insolent bastards, you actually dare to meddle with the treasures of the army! Brothers, kill them!” said a rather imposing shadow.
The four black figures attacked the three people, although the loyal souls had no weapons in their hands, their punches and kicks were mixed with strong wind, and from the sound, Yu Jingyan could sense the disparity in strength.
A black figure threw a punch towards Yu Jingyan, which Yu Jingyan immediately dodged to the side. Unfortunately, his speed was too slow, and after being hit by the black figure’s solid punch, he was sent flying.
‘This strength seems to be even greater than the puppet Ah Da … ‘ Yu Jingyan muttered.
Chen Xi and Silang were also attacked, but the two of them were far stronger than Yu Jingyan. Chen Xi was holding the Swinging Rod and fighting against the black figure, while Silang was waving the tibetan knife to fight against the two black figures.
However, the two quickly realised that the black figures’ attacks were real, and their attacks could not cause any damage to the black figures. The Swinging Rod s and the tibetan knife s passed through their enemies’ bodies without any obstruction.
“Crap, their strength is too strong. They can freely switch between voids and physical entities … Silang, Lao Chen, when they attack you, they are all in solid form, but when you attack them, they are all in void form, unable to cause any harm to you two … How the f * ck are we supposed to fight? ” Yu Jingyan shouted.
Just as Yu Jingyan was complaining about the fact that his opponent was too strong, the black figure that had beaten him up previously arrived in front of him in a flash. He hurriedly crawled up, surrounded the small mounds as he ran around them, dodging the black figure’s attacks.
Chen Xi was also suppressed by the other black shadow, only Silang used his own agility to fight against the two black figures, and seeing that Yu Jingyan was having difficulty resisting, he flew to Yu Jingyan’s side and fought against the black figure.
Yu Jingyan leaned on a mound of dirt, looking at Silang who was fighting against the three black figures by himself, and said: “You guys, relying on your ability to continuously switch between the real body and the real body, you dare to bully us, you’re really too much …”
“Since you know about Treasure Seeking Arts and can see how we attack, you must be a Warlock too. What’s funny is that Warlocks nowadays have not reached this level yet, so other than getting beaten up, do you not have any strength to fight back?” said a dark figure.
Yu Jingyan did not care about his opponent’s ridicule, and continued: “If you’re capable, then let’s do it, what’s the point of doing it for real?
“Heh, brothers, this fallen Warlock actually said that it’s unfair for us to deal with them like this, hahaha …” The leading black shadow mocked.
As he finished speaking, the four shadows changed colors at the same time. Their colors were very faint, and it was almost impossible to see them …
“Completely hollow, so they shouldn’t be able to attack us.” Yu Jingyan thought.
Silang’s tibetan knife passed through the two black figures’ bodies once again, unable to cause any harm to them. The black figure’s fist struck, and similarly, it penetrated Silang’s body as well. Silang let out a painful howl.
“Damn, the void-form’s loyalty is even more obvious for the damage to our souls. About that, Silang, you take it!”
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Xi was kicked in the chest by the black figure. Although his body was not injured, the damage to his soul was even greater.
Chen Xi slowly fell to the ground. He felt that he was very sleepy and was about to fall asleep …
“Lao Chen, Silang, you guys hold on, just watch me, the Thunder Talisman, teach them to be nice!” Yu Jingyan roared.
When they heard Yu Jingyan mentioning the “Thunder Talisman”, the four black figures all stopped at the same time and retreated, staring at Yu Jingyan warily.
“Brother Yu, just take the Thunder Talisman out quickly. I don’t need to suffer so much.” Silang said.
However, the black shadow could not help but ask: “Hey, Warlock, why aren’t you taking action yet?”
I can’t bear to hurt you all with the Thunder Talisman. How about this, I’ll give you all face, you guys should also leave me some face, we don’t need to fight to the death, you guys go ahead, we’ll leave after we find what we want. “Ling Chen:” … … Yu Jingyan said righteously.
