I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

night.

Dark as ink.

It was raining heavily and the sky was dark. Low thunder sounded from the clouds, and one or two arc-shaped thunder flashed in the distance from time to time. The rainwater on the ground gathered into a slurry, mixed with yellow-brown muddy water, and flowed to low places. Some slopes with soft soil could not withstand the pressure and collapsed, forming mudslides and rushing into the distance.

Two figures wearing raincoats were crawling in the mud ditch. The leaves on both sides were rustling with the rain. The rain and wind were raging, and the dark woods were waving in the distance like monsters.

"Damn it, Peng Laoshi, the location he sold to us was actually fake."

Zhang Qisen was dressed roughly and walked through the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The person following behind him was his younger brother Zhang Qiyao. When the two brothers were born, one lacked wood and the other lacked earth, so their parents gave them this name.

When they grew up, the Zhang brothers were considered promising and supported their family by relying on their family's skills. During the day, their brothers were honest hunters in Lingjue Village, and at night, they were just peasants foraging in the fields.

In the past three years, livestock in the village have been dying. Some people said it was a plague, and the wealthy families in the village have moved to the county.

The Zhang brothers also wanted to move to the county, but their savings were not enough. In desperation, they thought of their old business and prepared to work for one last time and then stop. It's a pity that the number of tombs is limited. All the tombs that can be dug near Lingxin Temple have already been dug by their brothers.

It's not that easy to find a big tomb.

This time, the brothers spent a lot of money to buy the news about Lao Tomb from an information dealer in the city. This information dealer had a good reputation there, and their brothers had made many inquiries before choosing this person. Unexpectedly, they had a bad start. They were caught in a heavy rain as soon as they went out. The tomb they dug out after a lot of effort turned out to be a fake tomb. Except for a stone coffin, there was not even a corpse in it, let alone the burial objects.

A mouse would shed tears if he entered it!
This made the two brothers secretly resentful. They felt that they had been cheated by Peng Laoshi, and they made up their minds to go back to settle the score with him.

"Our brothers' money is not so easy to get!"

Reaching out his hand to wipe off the water droplets on his face, Zhang Qisen's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Anyone who dares to do this business cannot be a good person. The two brothers beat their colleague to death when they were sixteen years old, and their bodies were dumped in the old tomb. No one knows about it to this day.

"The man named Peng had a granddaughter who was captured and sold to fill the bill."

Zhang Qiyao, who had been silent since then, said in a deep voice. The second son of the Zhang family is a typical person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much. Every time he kills someone, he is the first to do it. The Zhang brothers have all practiced martial arts, and it would be difficult for ordinary tomb robbers to survive when they encounter them.

Before the two brothers had time to react, they felt their feet loosen, and vaguely seemed to hear the sound of branches breaking.

The dirt road beneath their feet collapsed instantly, and the two of them were trapped by the road mixed with mud and water before they had time to react. The mud mixed with people collapsed from the original position of the mountain road. There were rainwater, rocks, and broken branches in the sunken mud pit.

At the critical moment, Zhang Qisen instinctively tore the yellow talisman on his chest into pieces.

As soon as the talisman appeared, the two brothers were immediately enveloped in a layer of clear light, and there was no sign of them after that.

The landslide slid all the way to the bottom of the valley, to a height of nearly twenty meters. The mud mixed with mud and water formed an oblique angle on the edge, and broken wood and gravel piled up outside. The entire valley fell into silence. The heavy rain was still washing the earth, and the sound of rain hitting the leaves echoed in the valley.

thunderbolt!

Thunder struck, lighting up the entire valley.

A hand full of green light stretched out from the mud, a large amount of mud began to squirm, and two figures struggled to climb out. It was the Zhang brothers who had been carried down the valley by the mud before.

"cough cough"

As soon as the two climbed out, they knelt down and coughed loudly.

Mud water spurted out from their mouths and noses. After a long time, the two men came back to their senses. The clear light surrounding them gradually faded away. The talisman paper that had been torn up by Zhang Qisen also turned into black paper ash when the clear light dissipated.

"What a big loss!"

That life-saving talisman was the treasure at the bottom of the box that their brothers finally obtained in exchange. They originally expected to keep it as a family heirloom, but they didn't expect to use it here.

"Go back first, it's been too long."

Zhang Qiyao took off his shoes and poured out the muddy water inside. If you don't clean your shoes on this kind of mountain road, you won't be able to move forward at all.

"go!"

Zhang Qisen also quickly cleared away his burdens.

After a short rest, the two brothers continued on their way. They had experienced too many scenes of tomb robbing over the years. This situation could only be regarded as troublesome. The real danger was the 'mountain spirit' wandering on the mountain.

Zhang Qisen, who was leading the way, did not walk very fast. He walked along the slope of the valley for a while and came to the area where the two brothers slipped. It's a pity that a large part of the mountain here has collapsed, and it is simply unrealistic to climb up with bare hands. The martial arts the two brothers learned could only jump five or six meters at most. A height of more than 20 meters, coupled with the rain and soft soil, made it impossible to jump up.

The two of them could only walk along the stone walls of the valley, looking for low areas to see if they could find a way up.

The night was deeper.

The heavy rain is still falling, and such heavy rain seems to submerge the entire world. Zhang Qisen, who was walking in front, had a trace of fatigue in his eyes.

Although he has practiced martial arts, he does not have unlimited physical strength after all. It took a lot of effort to rob the tomb before, and then we walked for a while in the heavy rain. Coupled with the fall into the valley, a series of things, and no supplementary food, the two brothers who can persist until now are already solid martial arts.

The same goes for Zhang Qiyao behind him, but he has a tough personality and doesn't like to show things on his face.

"Boy, did you hear anything?"

Zhang Qisen, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked, his expression a little unnatural.

"sound?"

Zhang Qiyao was stunned for a moment. He held his breath and listened carefully.

The sound of rain hitting the leaves was all around, and apart from that, there was only the sound of thunder in the distance from time to time.

"No." Zhang Qiyao shook his head.

"Did I hear wrongly?"

Glancing at the dark mountain road in front of him, Zhang Qisen turned back in confusion and continued moving forward.

Staying here is waiting for death. There are mountain spirits wandering in the mountains at night. There is no problem if they go out for a short time, but once the time is too long, the mountain spirits wandering outside will smell their scent and converge to their location. At that time, unless you meet a god, the only result will be death.

After walking for a while, Zhang Qisen stopped again and looked seriously at Zhang Qiyao behind him.

"Second brother, listen again, there is really a sound! It sounds like someone is drinking and punching!"

"How can there be anyone in this barren mountain?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qiyao's expression also changed, because this time it was not just Zhang Qisen, he also heard it. The noisy sound was so obvious that even the sound of rain all around could not cover it up.

thunderbolt! !
Just at this moment, a thunder flashed, and the arc-shaped thunder hook struck the crooked tree on the sloping wall in the distance, bringing a burst of thunder and fire.

The trees struck by thunder and fire were scorched black, and the flaming branches fell from above, helping the brothers to light up the mountain road ahead.

Ahead, there is an inn.

The red lantern exudes a dark red light.

"Go to the inn?"

Looking at the red words on it, both brothers felt an unpleasant feeling in their hearts. When they first entered the tomb robbing industry, their seniors taught their brothers. Encountering strange things means bad luck, and it means great misfortune!

"Who would open an inn in a place like this?"

Zhang Qiyao swallowed.

There are no villages or shops in this valley. The most important thing is that there is no road. If the brothers had not been caught by the mudslide, they would not have come here, let alone see this inn. The only explanation is that this inn is not open to ordinary people like them.

"go back!"

Although he was physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to rest, Zhang Qisen still decided to take a detour.

Zhang Qiyao from behind also nodded, and the two brothers turned around and walked in the opposite direction without any hesitation. During the process, Zhang Qiyao couldn't help but look back.

The inn behind was bathed in light, and the diners inside were drinking from large bowls and eating meat. The rain outside was separated by the roof, forming two contrasting worlds with the outside. A man sitting by the window was holding a large, shiny chicken leg in one hand, and was making fists with the diners at the same table with his other hand.

"Stop looking and leave quickly!"

Zhang Qisen scolded and quickened his pace.

Zhang Qiyao was stunned and immediately followed him. The two brothers walked very fast. After half an hour, the sound gradually faded away, and the two returned to the previously collapsed area.

If you can't go forward, you can only go back.

After delaying for so long, I just hope that the mountain spirits in the mountain don't smell their scent.

After a lot of tossing, the two brothers became even more exhausted, and their stomachs made a "gurgling" sound. The feet on the muddy water seemed to be filled with lead, and every step was extremely difficult.

After walking for a while, the noise came out again.

This time the two brothers heard it at the same time, and a look of uneasiness appeared on their faces at the same time.

As if in response to the panic in their hearts, thunder flashed across the sky again.

The same thunder and fire, the same light.

There is also the same inn.
"Future Inn?"

Zhang Qiyao saw the words on the lantern and found that it was different from the previous inn. By now, both brothers were exhausted and no longer had the energy to escape. The most important thing is that there is no way to escape from this valley.

Going forward is the Inn of the Past, and going backward is the Inn of the Future.

"Go in and take a look!"

Zhang Qisen gritted his teeth and walked towards the future inn with the steel fork in his hand. Soon the two of them arrived outside the inn. As soon as they entered, the rain stopped.

The lights in the inn can even drive away rainwater.

This scene made the two brothers even more uneasy, but they had no choice but to walk to the lobby door, push the door open and walk in.

As soon as the wooden door opened, a warm feeling spread throughout my body.

The fatigue I encountered outside before was washed away by this burst of warmth.

The two stood at the door of the inn and looked around.

I didn't find anything unusual. It was just an inn for ordinary people, and the diners inside were all people from the world like them, and there were no 'immortals' like Miao Zhu. The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief at this discovery.

'Perhaps it is the dojo where an expert practices. '

A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhang Qisen's mind, as did Zhang Qiyao behind him. Both brothers are speculators, and down-to-earth people will not come to rob graves. Although this place looks weird at the moment, there is no guarantee that it is the dojo of a certain expert. If the two of them are lucky and fall into the expert's eyes, they might be able to soar into the sky and become a big shot like Lingxin Temple Temple Zhu.

It’s not the fault of the two brothers that they have no future, it’s actually because in the circle they come into contact with, Miao Zhu is the top big shot. (End of chapter)
