Immortal Tomb Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Corpse flies
Behind the wall, there is a pathway which is long and deep, don't know where it is connect to.
In this passage, the sound of wind "whirling" keeps sounded, shows that it is connected to some place outside.
"It is weird! We just smell such a heavy deadly smell which is hard to describe before we come into this hole, how come it disappear totally here when we are inside."
Windy holding a bright pearl in her hand, and it emits bright lights to light up the whole passage.
"The smell just now is tomb smell. Now the tomb was being opened, and the tomb smell has been released to the outside, so you can't smell it anymore as a result." Yun Lu explains.
"Oh." Windy still in the state of half understanding.
"Insidious, they are really insidious! They even make such a fake passageway. No matter which way we choose to follow, we will arrive at the trap in the south side of Red Xuan Mountain at last." Yun Lu murmurs in a low voice.
Lucky for him that he deduced the possible layout of this immortal tomb according to the shape of how the bricks are allocated on the wall when he was outside. Otherwise, he would mistake this passage as a real one and fall into the dangerous trap at last.
"But there is wind in the tomb, so one of this two directions should be an exit." Windy heard about Yun Lu's words and asks doubtfully.
"This is exactly the insidious point of the people who put this Feng Shui layout. The wind in this passage is not a real one but a kind of layout. No matter where we go, it will be a dead end."
Yun Lu goes to the other side of this stone wall and keeps beat and beat with his hands.
Now Yun Lu has already entered into one Feng Shui layout, so he cannot see clearly of this trend of the whole Feng Shui layout. However, he still can deduce the general layout of this whole immortal tomb depends on every stone and even every texture in each stone.
This is the so-called to observe a leopard through a small tube when you can only see a small part each time, but you can at least get the general shape of the leopard.
"Windy, open the stone wall from this point. The real immortal tomb is just behind this part of the stone wall!" Suddenly, a light smile flashes in Yun Lu's eyes.
"This plan is quite ingenious though, it is not so smart after all."
During the time Yun Lu is thinking of this layout, Windy already opens a big hole at the place Yun Lu pointed out on that stone wall with the supernatural weapon long sword.
"My master, the stones of this part are very hard. I am afraid that I would has no way with it if not for I got the supernatural weapon." Windy is sweating on her forehead with this hard work, and she says this out of breath.
"The supernatural weapon?" Yun Lu is confused because he doesn't know what a supernatural weapon is. However, he stops to ask more with worry that he would exposure his secret. He decides to read more books after they go back to find out the answer to this question.
"There should be the real immortal tomb inside."
"Do you have fire?" asks Yun Lu.
"Fire?" With a figure snap, there is a tiny fire shakes at the tip of Windy's finger.
"This can work?" Yun Lu can help to shocked for a while.
"Master, this is just a normal skill of the Five Elements and normal practicers can do this easily." Windy sighs of regret for Yun Lu when she thinks that he cannot practice.
Yun Lu nods his head. He fetches a piece of yellow paper, and light it on the tiny fire. Then, he throws it into the big hole dig by Windy before.
Yun Lu's eyes fixed tightly on that flame.
"it burns normally, no problem. Now we can get it." Yun Lu relieved.
If that flame is extinguished before the burning is over, Yun Lu would turn away and never be regret.
"Master, you really know a lot. How could I never know that before?" Windy looking at Yun Lu, says with curious.
"How can I be the master of Xuan state if I didn't know so much? Windy, do you know what else I know?" Yun Lu shocked in his heart, but he keeps calm on his face.
"That's right." Windy nods her head, and then says with a bit grievance," Since that time, Master has been distant me and don't want to talk to me anymore."
"That time?" Yun Lu blinks his eyes.
Windy's face turns red in one second, and she keeps silent and talks no more after.
"That boy must be tried to have Windy once but has no male ability at that time. He is ashamed by that time and then distant this little beautiful girl after that." Yun Lu thinks," but according to Windy's reaction, she would not against me if I have her right now."
Yun Lu stops the entanglement with Windy and walks into the immortal tomb after.
"Master!" Windy screams out loudly at the moment when they enter the hole.
"What's the matter?"
Yun Lu turns around and looking back, but what he sees is just a dark area without any light. Gloomily, Yun Lu can see a light ball shining a kind of light green color and floating in the midair gloomily.
That is the night pearl in the hand of Windy.
"My, my spirit image disappeared." Windy says with a strong worry.
The spirit image is equivalent of a practicer's eyes, so when the spirit image disappeared, the practicer is kind of half blind. That night before when Yun Lu asked Windy to explain to him the things about practicing, so he knows what the spirit image is.
"Don't worry."
Yun Lu fetches his hands and take Windy's soft small hands in his own, and says," There is a Feng Shui layout here…Oh, or we can say the tactical layout, it is this tactical layout limits your spirit image."
"And it not only limits your spirit image, look at the light of this night pearl, it is being limited too." In the darkness, Windy nods. The supernatural weapon long sword sounds out a light sound, and Windy is in good alert now.
To all living things, the most frightening thing is the darkness.
However, to Yun Lu, since he is dealing with tombs for many years, he is used to this kind of darkness long time ago. In fact, place as this is his home.
Yun Lu puts Windy's hand on his shoulder.
"Hold me on my shoulder and follow me." Yun Lu says.
Windy agrees with a sound.
Yun Lu tightly lying his body on one side of the wall and begin to try to find a way.
"This should be a chamber in the tomb." Yun Lu curves his eyebrows.
"En?" suddenly, Yun Lu seems to touch some prominent thing like a switch, and he presses it down gently.
Hw! Hw! Hw!
One fire light after other lights up in this room and this little chamber be lighted up totally. On the four sides walls of this chamber, there are eight oil lamps attached to the wall. A moment before, Yun Lu pressed something unknown and light them up.
However, the fire flame on these eight oil lamps are all green.
"Green fire?" Yun Lu cann't help to fling a chill.
Green fire light color the whole room to creepy green. At the center of this chamber, there is a big stone sarcophagus. The green fire light plus the sarcophagus makes the place extremely weird.
"This…this is real an immortal tomb!"
Windy fling a chill too, and she can't help to scream out when she sees that sarcophagus clearly.
"Don't touch that sarcophagus!" Yun Lu swallow a slobber, and his eyes fixed on that sarcophagus.
"What a beautiful game of real and fake!"
"The 'Basaltic sitting on hill' of the Red Xuan Mountain is combined the real and fake ones, and the same as the passage outside… And now, in this chamber, they are still real and fake things!"
"The man who built the tomb is really insidious!"
Although it is not the earth, and Yun Lu has changed a body as well as his identity, but his valuable experience of stealing from tombs are not lost at all. Yun Lu still can deduce the layout inside this tomb according to everything he observes now.
"This is a Yin chamber again, I have no idea if there would be something terrible…Let's go! Hurry!"
Suddenly, Yun Lu comes to his senses. He grabs Windy and runs towards to a wall with a stone door.
Inside this chamber, there are four exits way except the big hole made by Windy before. However, there is only one real exit among those four.
If someone go to the other three fake exits, he would be die for sure.
Boom-
However, just at this moment, the cover of that stone coffin at the center of this chamber begins to move slowly.
The disgusting rancid smell fulfills all the grave immediately.
Two dark black arms stretch out from the sarcophagus.
"That, what is that?" Windy asks scarified with a quiver voice.
She has never see such weird and horrible things since she was born.
"Big Zongzi!"
Yun Lu shouts out loudly," The Zongzi means a zombie. Zombies are being exile from the world and be unacceptable to everything. It is free in the six realms of life and death, and it is not alive as well as not dead yet."
"Run! Quickly!"
That big Zongzi sits up in the sarcophagus in a dark shadow, and Yun Lu can't see clearly of its true face.
Buzz……
Suddenly, a sound like fly's hum, comes from the sarcophagus.
After a short while, a lot of bloody red flies rush out from the sarcophagus, fly over their heads like thick clouds and then fly towards Yun Lu and Windy.
"You run! Master!"
When Windy saw this, she is shocked a lot. She quickly to throw away Yun Lu's hand and pushes him into the stone door in front of them.
A bright green light boomed in the long sword in the hand of Windy, and this green light twisted in the air while she swaying it to form a huge sword net.
Pu Pu Pu!
Those bloody red flies are smashed by this huge sword net one after another.
"My master, do not come this way. Those bloody red flies are all wicked monsters, they are equal to the practice in the Qi level!"
Yun Lu notices there are two lights in light green color emits from both of Windy's eyes.
A huge green whirlwind coagulated around her.
Windy is not dare to kill people, but when it comes to those flies, Windy has no psychological pressure at all.
Hoo Hoo!
This whirlwind becomes bigger and bigger. Eventually, it forms into a tornado as high as the chamber and as wide as one sratch , and then, this tornado runs towards those flies. Those bloody red flies are so many looks like covering the whole area between the roof and the floor, however, they are smashed into nothing almost without any resistance under the spiritual weapon of Windy. Windy's power as a monk in the Dan level is showed out truly right at this moment.
Dong!
Before Windy can takes a short break, she heard a sound nearby both of her ears like the sound of a big drum.
Suddenly, blood blew out from Windy's mouth because of her heart agitation. She was injured this time and her spiritual image being break down at the same time.
That dark black zombie, with no one has noticed when it has climbed out from that sarcophagus is standing in front of that room right now and starring at Windy silently.
The drum sound which injured Windy is just the sound produced by this zombie when he put both of its feet on the ground.
Bloody red flies rush streams out from that sarcophagus.
"Run! My master!"
Windy turns around and find Yun Lu is standing right behind her back without noticed when he come, she shouts at him loudly worried.
"This is named corpse fly, and that thing can only come out from a thousand-years zombie."
Yun Lu takes a short breath, and thinks in his heart," I remembered I only see the record of this thing once in the ancient book in my mentor's home. I never thought that I would see that corpse fly which can make the most famous mentor in our industry frightened heavily by my own eyes one day! Everything can happen in the immortal world."
"This means that big Zongzi is exits more than one thousand years before."
"The immortal world is really an exciting place for people."
Yun Lu's whole body is kind of trembling because of his excitement.
The strange and dangerous monsters only be recorded in the ancient books are real exit! As a professional tomb stealer, nothing could be more exciting than exploring unknown things to Yun Lu.
