Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 58 Unexpected
The dark tomb was illuminated by the light of torches, and a breathless human face suddenly appeared in front of Li Qing's eyes.

In an instant, even Li Qing, who had always been calm, couldn't help but tremble, and the hand holding the torch was trembling.

This is a corpse. It looks like it has just been dead a few days ago, and its facial features are relatively well preserved.

It was not an illusion caused by fear. Li Qing clearly felt that the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped a lot, giving him the feeling of returning to winter.

Tick ​​tock!

A sound of dripping water came from the tomb below, which seemed so abrupt in the night in this dense forest.

Weird!
Li Qing dragged the corpse out of the entrance to the tomb and continued to try to extend the torch inside.

It is very deep inside, with a gentle slope that can only be passed by one person bending down.

As expected, this should be the tomb that is widely rumored in the world.

Li Qing thought carefully for a while, and finally decided to retreat, wanting to wait until daytime to come back and have a look.

He turned around, a breeze blew by, and the light of the torch swayed slightly, illuminating Li Qing's face more clearly.

The next moment, a surprised voice came out.

"master!?"

Li Qing, who was about to lift his feet and leave, froze slightly at this moment, looking at the source of the sound in disbelief.

Before Li Qing could say anything, another voice suddenly came from the tomb below.

"Huh? Xiao Qi, do you know this person?"

This voice sounded a little lazy, and Li Qing felt familiar, quite familiar.

"Qi Kang? Why are you here? Who is under the tomb?"

Yes, besides Qi Kang, who else in this world can call Master Li Qing!

It was simply unexpected that Qi Kang was not dead. After all, countless martial arts masters had died in this mountain col in Xiaocuiling, yet he could still survive!
What surprised Li Qing the most was that if Qi Kang didn't say anything, he wouldn't even notice his presence.

In a jungle made of intertwined vines not far away, Qi Kang climbed out with great difficulty.

His face was gray and his hair was disheveled. He looked like he was back when he was a refugee.

But what impressed Li Qing the most was Qi Kang's eyes, which now looked extremely clear and piercing!
"Master, it's a long story, that's it."

At this time, the voice from inside the tomb interrupted Qi Kang again.

"Ahem, Xiao Qi, there are distinguished guests coming to the door, but you haven't invited them in yet."

The tone of the voice was very familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.
Li Qing squinted his eyes and recalled for a long time, and finally remembered.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the famous Star-catching Thief would actually live in seclusion in Xiaocuiling's tomb. If this spreads out, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm here, right?"

That's right, the man inside is the Star-catching Thief. Li Qing has seen him several times in the tavern before, so he feels that the voice is familiar.

Qi Kang was shocked and asked: "Master, how do you know Brother Ning is inside?"

The thief’s surname is Ning?

Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Qi Kang had had many interactions with him during the period of his disappearance.In the tomb, the Star-catching Thief stopped talking.

Li Qing also remained silent, alerting himself to the sounds coming from the tomb.

The reward for the Star-catching Thief in Shengtian City is 10 taels of silver!

Even if you can't defeat him, you can get ten thousand taels of silver just by informing the Prince's Mansion about the Star-catching God Thief in the tomb. This is definitely a sum of money that can make ordinary people crazy!
Although Li Qing was not interested in the bounty from Star Reaching Thief, he did not dare to proceed so rashly.

Because the Star Reaching Thief would naturally think that Li Qing wanted to use him to collect the bounty, and after entering, the two of them would probably fight.

In such a short period of time, the two people formed a chain of suspicion. For a while, no one dared to act rashly and just remained silent.

Qi Kang also saw some signs, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Ning, my master is very indifferent to fame and fortune. He will never be interested in the reward order from the Prince's Palace. I guarantee this!"

"Master, Brother Ning is actually a good person."

With Qi Kang as a bridge of communication, the chain of suspicion between the two was suddenly broken.

The star-catching thief in the tomb was the first to speak: "Since you are Xiao Qi's master, then come in and have a seat. No need to be polite."

After the other party said this, Li Qing also chuckled, clasped his fists and said: "I have admired the name of the Star-catching Thief for a long time, and I am lucky to be able to officially meet him today."

Seeing that the suspicion between the two people was relieved, Qi Kang also laughed and led Li Qing towards the tomb.

The tomb cave is a downward slope. It is very dark inside, and the air is a bit cold and humid. The further you go inside, the lower the temperature becomes.

Soon, when they reached the deepest part of the tomb, the surrounding space suddenly opened up, and a natural cave appeared in front of them.

It is not dark here, because the walls are inlaid with several priceless luminous pearls, and the hazy halo illuminates the scene inside.

In the center of the tomb, there is a stone coffin.On the far left is a stone table. Ning Yuan, the star-catching thief, is sitting next to the stone table, still holding a jade wine flask in his hand, sitting and drinking alone.

"It's you!" Ning Yuan raised his sword-like brows slightly, obviously recognizing Li Qing.

"Master, Brother Ning, have you two met?" Qi Kang asked curiously.

Li Qing nodded and explained: "I had the honor to meet him several times in the tavern before. At that time, I didn't know that he was the famous Star-catching Thief. Later, his wanted portrait spread throughout the imperial capital."

"I didn't expect that you are the blacksmith that Xiao Qi often mentioned, and you are even more famous when I see you today!" Ning Yuan's face is very handsome, and it is hard for anyone to imagine that such a handsome man with a lot of energy and beauty can actually He will be a world-famous thief.

It can be seen from the luminous pearls inlaid on the wall that this person is definitely a thief.

"No wonder you knew the origin of this tomb while still in the tavern. It seems that you deliberately released false news to target the Prince's Mansion? I'm curious, what grudge do you have against the Prince's Mansion?" Li Qing asked casually.

When Ning Yuan heard this, he laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha! Who told you that what I released was false news? This tomb is indeed the tomb of the former martial arts prodigy Lin Yi!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing's heart was shaken.

It turned out to be true!
"It's just that the martial arts inheritance has been taken away by me a long time ago. The people from the Prince's Mansion and Jiulian Sect came here and it was just an empty trip." Ning Yuan laughed and drank the wine in the jade pot.

"Xiao Qi, go get the wine quickly. We have an important guest coming, so we should have a drink!"
