Chapter 152 Breaking the Eight Dragon Tomb
"Dinner is ready~" Dugu Xingyue said softly, everyone stood up, everyone was waiting for this crab feast.Although the menu for this meal only had crabs, they were all looking forward to it.

The Khitan people hardly ever eat crabs, and neither do other people.Because crabs are very seasonal, the crabs must be in late autumn to be so plump. Of course, you must taste them carefully once a year.

Dugu Xingyue and Han Wenmei each brought a large plate full of crabs, which were still steaming because they had just been taken out of the steamer.

As soon as the plate was placed on the table, almost everyone looked at Zong Xin.Tianya is an apprentice, Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue are women, and Youyun Shibaqi is a servant, they must wait for Zong Xin to speak before they can eat.

Zong Xin immediately picked up a crab, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"Hurry up and eat, everyone. I have something for you to do after eating. Maybe we can break the Eight Dragon Tomb today." No one knew what was going on, but what was more interesting was the umami taste of the freshly steamed crabs.

While steaming the crabs, Dugu Xingyue cooked some wine. This time, he cooked it in a casserole and added more seasonings, which made the taste softer and more refreshing.However, eating crabs is a technical job. Youyun's Eighteen Riders all stared at Tianya to see how Tianya would eat them and followed suit.

Although many people here have no experience in eating crabs, they quickly get started.And all of them have small sharp daggers on their bodies, and they cut open the crab shells before taking the meat.

There is not much meat in crabs, but crabs in late autumn have a lot of crab roe, which has a special flavor when paired with wine.

After a beautiful meal, the crab shells piled up like a mountain, and many places were not eaten clean, but their technology is just like this, there is really no way to remove all the meat.Although the crab meat is very small, it tastes very fragrant, and it feels really good to have a sip of rice wine.

After he was full, Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "I have something to tell you when the old one comes over."

"Master, are you not full?"

"I'm full, but you still have to go to the city. I want you to buy a few more packs of cinnabar and come back quickly." Zong Xin asked the old one to buy dyes, but he didn't say what he wanted.

The old one didn't want to think at all, he did whatever his master told him to do, and immediately rode his wolf to Xuzhou City.

"Xin, what do you want cinnabar for?"

Zong said: "I want to destroy the Eight Dragon Tombs."

"Use cinnabar?" Yaoyao couldn't believe her ears, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe Zong Xin wanted to draw a talisman.Many Taoist priests can use cinnabar to draw talismans, which is said to be very effective.But the amount of barrels... How many symbols does he want to draw?
Zhao Kuangyin sipped a glass of rice wine, then smiled lightly and said, "Zong Xin, I know what you are going to do."

"Do you really know?"

"Of course, how smart am I?" Zhao Kuangyin said to himself: "Obviously, you can't help but finally want to show your true kung fu. You must have written Buddhist scriptures with cinnabar on the tomb to dispel the yin energy, and then It can be broken, right?"

"No~! It's a waste of praise, I thought you really understood."

Zhao Kuangyin was embarrassed and thought he had guessed right.Even a smart person like Dugu Xingyue thought that Zong Xin was planning to draw talismans or write Buddhist scriptures to break the formation.After all, Zong Xin is an eminent monk, so he must have other sophisticated methods.

Zong Xin didn't want to explain either, because this group of people were too stupid.

The warg was very fast, and it was only a few miles away from Xuzhou City. It didn't take long for Lao Yi to return to the bamboo house with cinnabar.

Zong Xin had asked Han Wenmei to prepare three buckets. When the old one came back, he brought five bags of cinnabar. Zong Xin poured three bags of them into the buckets, and the water in the buckets instantly turned viscous red.I borrowed a few more brushes from Han Lingkun.

"It's almost ready, everyone, come with me and see how I can destroy this Eight Dragon Tomb." Zong Xin asked others to carry the cinnabar bucket and brush to the Eight Dragon Tomb.

The Eight Dragon Tombs are even closer, within a few steps you can reach the edge of the Eight Dragon Tombs.Same as yesterday, eight steps lead to the high platform, and there are two tombstones on the high platform, one is written with Eight Dragon Tombs, and the other is written with Xun Shu’s life. They are all paved with bluestone slabs, and they look like a big crab from a distance. .

Zong said: "Each of you take a brush and paint the entire Eight Dragon Tomb red with cinnabar water."

"What is this for?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't understand what was going on. Although he knew that cinnabar could ward off evil spirits, Zong Xin's approach was too extreme. He even planned to paint the entire high platform with cinnabar.If all these are useful, there is no need for Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits and cure ghosts. Just smear the cinnabar all over, and all ghosts and ghosts will disappear.

Youyun Shibaqi was also curious, but immediately went to work after hearing Zong Xin's order.This is the biggest advantage of Khitan warriors, they don't care about right or wrong, they don't ask why, they just do what Zong Xinrang does.This is their habit as soldiers before, although they are not soldiers now, but this habit is very good.

Dugu Xingyue said softly: "Husband, you should explain to everyone."

"Well, this tomb does look like a crab, and it's all made of bluestone slabs, so it's a crab, and it's a living crab, so it's blue. The crab's sex is yin, and the yin and gossip outside are constantly condensing Yin Qi, so this formation cannot be broken." Zong Xin said with a smile: "The crabs we ate just now are like this, when they are alive, they are blue, but when they are eaten, they are red. After the crabs are steamed, they will turn red... …So, I painted the blue crab in the Eight Dragon Tomb as a red crab, which means that it has been boiled, so that the yin and gossip will no longer condense yin, and we can break through the formation smoothly."

Zong Xin's idea is very strange and bold, but very interesting.Zong Xin originally thought that cinnabar would be used to write Buddhist scriptures, but it turned out that it was only used as fuel.The blue tomb was painted red, let alone this crab-shaped tomb, even a very ordinary tomb would be unbearable.

Youyun Shibaqi was very fast, but the entire tomb was too big, and it would take some time to paint the entire tomb.However, Youyun Shibaqi already felt the surrounding temperature rise when he painted it. It was very cool at first, but it gradually became hotter.

The human body is very sensitive to changes in temperature, and immediately felt that Zong Xin's method might be useful.Everyone admired Zong Xin's wit, but this kind of strange idea didn't look like an outsider's idea at all, but rather like a hooligan.

Youyun Eighteen Riders started from the stairs, and slowly applied cinnabar water to all the places in the Eight Dragon Tombs. It took two hours to paint all the corners red.After a week of inspection, the old one returned to Zong Xin.

"Reporting to the master, it's all painted red, without any omission."

Zong Xin nodded and stood next to the Eight Dragon Tombs and also patrolled around, looking at every corner to make sure nothing was missed.At this time, the surrounding area started to become a little hot. Zong Xin's method had already worked, but it was unexpected that it would become so hot, like being in a steamer.

Zong Xin shook his sleeves and stretched out two hands.Yaoyao on the left handed the Han towel from yesterday to his hand, and Zhao Kuangyin on the right handed his Ssangyong stick to his hand, and it was time for Zong Xin to break the formation.Everyone hid quite far away. Just now Zong Xin had introduced the situation when the formation was broken last night. If they were accidentally struck by lightning, they would die.

Zong Xin put Yaoyao's Han scarf on the bald head again, and then he grasped the Ssangyong stick tightly with all his strength and smashed it down with all his strength.

'Boom~~~'

A few more thunderbolts flashed by, and all of them fell on Zong Xin's side. The double dragon stick forcibly smashed the three-story staircase representing the Zhen Gua to pieces.

The formation was broken, and the two tombstones on the high platform suddenly rotated. The two tombstones rotated to different angles. Suddenly, the tombstone written about Xun Shu's life broke into several pieces, and a secret door was found under the tombstone.

"Amitabha, good and good, it seems that this is the gate to enter the tomb."

Zong Xin's guess was true. The tomb was designed in the shape of a crab, and it was made of bluestone slabs, just like a living blue crab.Crabs are inherently yin, and the eight steps are arranged according to yin and gossip, which can condense yin energy, so even if Zong Xin escaped a lightning strike last night, his skills could not break through this layer of yin energy.

But today Zong Xin's method worked. Turning the blue crab into a red crab is like steaming the crab. Not only can this living crab die, but it can also let the yang energy enter and destroy the yin here. gas.

In fact, as long as he figured this out, Zong Xin's method was not complicated, the hard part was thinking of this weird method of breaking the formation.

"Xin, you are amazing, how did you think of it?"

Zong Xin smiled lightly and said, "I thought about it when I was eating crabs just now. Zhao Kuangyin said that crabs look very similar to Eight Dragon Tombs. At that time, I was thinking about how to kill crabs, and it was a fake crab. Later, I saw steamed crabs. The shell is red, so I suddenly thought of this method."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I still have a little use for it, right?"

"You are very useful." Zong said: "If it weren't for you, I would never have thought that the Eight Dragon Tomb was built in the shape of a crab. I would not have thought of this method either."

"Master, the sky seems to have darkened." Tian Ya absolutely believed in his master, so he was not surprised to see him break the formation, because Tian Ya believed that there was nothing his master could not do.So I am more concerned about the changes in other places. When the tomb door opened, the originally sunny day suddenly turned cloudy, and the sky suddenly changed. Something strange must have happened.

Zong Xin suddenly looked up at the sky, a cloud of dark clouds covered the whole place, the area was so wide that it almost reached the outside of Xuzhou City.This is something no one expected. What is hidden in this tomb?As soon as the door of the tomb was opened, dark clouds were drawn to block the sunlight.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Okay, since we have broken this formation, the matter is almost over, one more thing is worse than one less thing, before the things inside come out, let's run away."

Zhao Kuangyin is almost sure that there is a monster inside, and it is a very powerful monster.Although I haven't seen it in my life, I often hear that there are such things as monsters, and considering the current situation and the fact that the tomb is so tightly sealed...it must have been built to seal this monster.

Zong Xin, a monk who is full of food, what kind of battle is he doing?They finally caught the monster and sealed it here, but Zong Xin actually broke the formation and let the monster escape.If the monster inside runs out, the first thing to do is to eat him first.
