Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 97: Experience
The two owners of the building each found a comfortable position to sit down and watch the scenes from a few days ago together.

I saw the guys dressed as officers and soldiers driving the people into the cemetery, and then three leaders came out of the crowd, one of them was followed by a woman in a red skirt and a basket on her head.

"Can you recognize who it is?" The fifth owner could only rely on others for this kind of thing. With his forgetfulness, he was thankful that he could remember his own people.

"The one wearing the official robe should be Xie Gui." Nangong Zhuangzhu carefully identified him and said, "I have never seen the one wearing black clothes before. He looks like a corpse raiser from the north."

After a pause, he said, "As for the third one, I can't see his appearance at all."

"He should be wearing a magic weapon that can erase his own traces." The fifth building owner's memory is not good, but his knowledge is still good. "This kind of magic weapon is very rare. Following this line, we may be able to find out something."

Nangong nodded and quickly memorized it.

At this time, the skeleton woman was seen breaking into pieces and then reuniting, standing up again.

The fifth owner nodded in approval and said, "It turns out that he can raise a corpse. This corpse raiser is quite something."

Then came the scene where County Captain Xie was pulling the monster and Dong Dangmen was setting up the battle formation.

The fifth building owner continued to comment: "I didn't expect that Xie Gui is quite powerful. He has already reached the level of the Five Acupoints. His sword is also good. Oh, and there is also a standard shield from our department. This time he is able to attack and defend at the same time. He is considered to be the best among the county lieutenants in the country."

"This formation is even more powerful." The fifth building owner continued, "Don't think that the formation flags are ready-made, as if you can just use your hands. But if you don't understand the formation to the extreme and reach the state of heaven and man, you can't set up this formation that borrows the spiritual power of heaven and earth and seizes the fortune of ghosts and gods."

"And he's also a master tomb robber. Now the scope of suspects has been narrowed down again." Nangong Zhuangzhu looked at the scene of Dong Dangmen looking for the acupoints and sneered, "I'm almost going to say his name directly."

"Hush, don't say it, don't say it." The fifth owner made a gesture to silence the crowd and said with a smile: "This is a serious matter. We are only collecting information, not analyzing or guessing."

"Okay." Although Master Nangong looked difficult to deal with, he never objected to his superior's decision.

What follows is the boring grave digging stage.

Nangong Zhuangzhu yawned repeatedly and asked, "Can you go faster?"

"You know you can't do that." The fifth owner said with a wry smile, "I finally feel a little sleepy, take a nap, and I'll call you when there's something interesting to see."

"Okay." Nangong Zhuangzhu lit a stick of incense, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Everyone fell silent, fearing to disturb her poor sleep.

Of course, Brother Zuan simply couldn't speak...

~~
When the incense stick burned out, the fifth owner gently pushed Nangong's forehead.

"Ah!" Master Nangong's body fell and he was pulled back from the edge of a deep sleep.

But she was already very content, and she stretched and said, "It was such a comfortable sleep."

But she saw that the three masters of the fifth building all looked very serious. She looked at the "immersive experience" and her heart sank immediately...

The scene on the screen shows the group of people using the blood of the people to break the formation.

Seeing so many innocent people being driven onto the altar to die, even the smiling Lord of the Fifth Building looked unhappy.

"Damn it!" The hot-tempered Nangong Chuangzhu was so furious that he was about to rush into the illusion and beat someone up.

The fifth owner quickly grabbed her and said, "Calm down, it's all over. This is just a reappearance of the scene."

“We must find these murderers and eat their flesh and sleep on their skin!” Nangong stopped and said angrily.

"Yeah." The fifth owner nodded, but he was not sure at all.

Next, it was finally time for the highlight... They watched those people carefully pass through the alley of corpse ministers and come to the real underground palace that was completely in accordance with the regulations of the imperial mausoleum. The fifth owner asked in a deep voice: "Who built this underground palace? This is a deliberate attempt to restore the throne of Donghun Hou in the underworld."

"Emperor Xiao Baorong of Qi." replied Nangong Zhuangzhu.

"Then I understand." The fifth owner nodded.

But soon he lost his composure... He saw those people opening the four layers of coffins and carrying out Donghun Hou who was wearing a golden jade robe.

Then they locked Donghunhou's limbs with chains and nailed the chains to the ground with nails the size of rolling pins.

This strange move made the four of them feel uneasy...

"Soul-locking chain, soul-nailing stake, could it be that the corpse has transformed?" The fifth owner stood up and stared at the illusion without blinking.

"Even the Undying Bones have come out?" Nangong Chuangzhu also stood up and gasped, "What treasure does Donghun Hou have that they are willing to invest so much money in?"

As they were talking, they saw Mr. Chen using the Unbreakable Bone to rip open the belly of the Duke of Donghun, and then took out a black thing that was shining with precious light...

Everyone came closer to stare at the thing, wanting to carefully study what kind of treasure it was.

Unexpectedly, something strange happened in the field. Four soldiers suddenly stood up and pulled out the stakes. County Lieutenant Xie and his two men hurried to stop them, but they failed. One of the soul-nailing stakes was pulled out, and then... Donghun Hou stood up!
"Oh my god..." The fifth building owner was stunned for the first time, and couldn't help but applaud: "This is such a good way to measure the situation, it's so perfect, isn't it? It's like they have rehearsed it countless times in advance!"

"It's a pity that his strength is too weak." Nangong said regretfully: "No matter how good the opportunity is, he can't grasp it."

“Nangong, don’t underestimate the heroes of the world.” The fifth owner was so absorbed in watching that he didn’t bother to comment and said, “Keep reading.”

Everyone stared at the screen and saw that the tomb robber fled first, and then Donghun Hou disappeared while chasing the corpse-raiser.

Then there was a huge landslide in the underground palace, burying Xie Gui underneath.

The four people were safely transferred to the ground...

"How is it?" The fifth owner said proudly, "This design is absolutely amazing, right?"

"You mean, the subsequent series of changes were all planned by those four people?" Nangong still couldn't believe it.

"At least it's all within their expectations." The fifth building owner nodded and said, "Look, there are mountain spirits and ghosts who are trying to stop the people on the ground from escaping."

As he said this, he glanced at Yang Zhong who was staring at him intently, and said with a smile: "A Zhong, you should say something too."

"Yes, in my humble opinion, the previous landslide was probably not accidental." Yang Zhong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke in a northern accent and whispered: "I guess those four people caused the collapse on purpose."

"Are they so powerful?" Nangong Chuangzhu was skeptical.

"Yes, it's already very powerful. Unfortunately, the enemy is stronger, and their strategy alone is not enough." Yang Zhong looked at County Lieutenant Xie who rushed out of the ruins, and sighed: "It will still fail at the last moment."

"No, Ah Zhong, what you said is not right." The fifth owner shook his head and said seriously, "They are definitely not after the treasures on Donghun Hou's body. Their goal is to rescue the people, release Donghun Hou, and expose the case to the world. Now they have achieved all their goals. Considering the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, they are particularly worthy of admiration."

"But they will die, and there will be no meaning if they die." Yang Zhong whispered.

"From the moment they launched the attack, they had already put their lives aside." The fifth building owner said in a deep voice: "Those who know it is impossible but still do it are true heroes."

ps. There will be more updates.
