Dark energy

  Two black airs

  A dozen Japanese soldiers held guns, while Ji Yaozu and two others wielded iron hoes and shovels. This Matsumoto had brought a complete set of tools, which suggested that he was also an expert in manual labor. At this moment, he sat under the shade of a tree, occasionally ordering his soldiers to bring water over to them.

  "Older brother, what kind of grave is this?" Er Dang said quietly while digging.

  "Who knows, nothing has been dug up yet, it can't be judged," said Ji Yaozu.

  "You said, those people who were taken away before, will they also be forced to dig graves like us?" Dog Remnant asked.

  "These days, those devils have taken away all the things our ancestors left behind. It's really unbearable to think about it." Ji Yanzu said with a shake of his head.

  "But digging a grave is just that, how come those people didn't return? Were they beaten to death in the tomb?" Er Dan finally spoke out his deepest concern.

  "It's okay, if we really dig up the tomb passage later, you guys follow me. I'm not good at this place, but once we get into the tomb, these little devils will only be waiting to be slaughtered." Ji Yaozu immediately became excited, looked around at those ghostly soldiers, possibly because the weather was too hot, their guns were all pointing at the ground, and they all looked listless.

  "Brother Zhang, you have to take care of me. I'm the only child in our family, and I don't want our lineage to end with me," Dog Remnant said with a sorrowful face.

  "Hey, your life is a life, but mine isn't?!" Er Dun heard this and felt very uncomfortable.

  "You still have an older brother, at least one has died and there's another to send him off!" Dog Remnant said.

  "Damn you, curse me to death!" Er Tiao raised his iron shovel and was about to hit Gou Sheng's head when this move startled the soldier ghosts and also woke up Song Jieye who had fallen asleep.

  Fortunately, Ji Yaozu quickly picked him up with an iron shovel and pressed it to the ground, so he didn't arouse suspicion. At the same time, he whispered to them:

  "Be honest, we haven't even dug out the pit yet, what are you arguing about? I've already said that if you follow me when we go in later, I won't let anything happen to you. That Matsui is also an amateur, what we're digging now is just a grave path, far from the main tomb. Just be honest and work hard, don't cause any more trouble." Ji Yaozu stopped speaking.

  Er Biao was a bit tired, so he sat down to rest. The Japanese soldiers didn't bother them either. For such a long time, those devils had already run away to other places to slack off. Er Biao took out a small turtle from his own pocket and put it in his hand, occasionally talking to it:

  "Tortoise, tortoise, I'm in a predicament this time, you must help me get through it."

  "Everyone else is praying to gods and Buddhas, but you believe in a turtle? Do you want to become a turtle?" Dog Remnant laughed.

  "You know what, my mother said that this turtle is a longevity preserver. With this turtle, you can turn bad luck into good fortune and live to be 100 years old! And isn't it said that the dragon has nine sons, one of whom is a dragon-headed turtle-bodied son? I'm practically a dragon breed myself!" Er Dang said.

  "You're still somewhat useful, just don't die before me," Dog Remnant said.

  "Shut up, can't you just not mention that dead word? You talk too much." Er Dun said.

  Listening to the two people arguing, Jiyaozu's heart calmed down a bit. He had not spoken all along. The pit had been dug for more than one meter, and from the change in the structure of this layer of soil, it seemed that the tomb was already very old. From time to time, some broken pottery pieces were also dug up.

  But at this time, relying on his experience and intuition in the inverted fight, Jiyaozu had some strange feelings surging up. He always felt that something was going to happen, but he couldn't say what it was. At this time, his heart was racing fast, and he already knew that he was getting closer and closer to the grave, while that sense of danger came again.

  Ji Yaozu's tension was fully reflected on his face, his hands shaking more and more violently, and cold sweat kept breaking out. In this scorching environment, Ji Yaozu's body felt as cool as ice, not because of him, but because of the terrifying underground place. All the sensations seemed to emerge suddenly, although still separated by a thick layer of soil, the chill had already penetrated his feet and reached the top of his head.

  "Don't dig anymore. This grave is strange." Ji Yaozu stopped them both.

  "What's wrong?" Dog Remnant asked, his voice trembling slightly, because he had already seen that Ji Yaozu was completely soaked from head to toe, but it was clear that it wasn't sweat from working.

  "This is too evil, this feeling has never appeared before, if we continue to dig, we will all die here." Ji Yaozu had already led the way and jumped up to the edge of the pit.

  But at the same time, Matsuno had already appeared in front of him, looking at him with a stern expression, still fiddling with the Mōkin symbol in his hand. It was then that Jiyōso understood why he felt such a chill run down his spine - he had lost the Mōkin symbol, and those unclean things, those strange things would crawl all over his body. That's why he finally understood why his father told him to rather lose his life than lose the symbol.

  "There's something in this grave. It might be the adult zongzi, or maybe it has all turned into poison. If we dig it up, we'll all die." said Ji Yaozu.

  "Whether you live or die is your business, I only want the things in the tomb. Otherwise, you will all die here right now." Matsui waved his hand and dozens of guns were raised again.

  Ji Yaozu was a bit spoiled, but now he had no choice. He thought of Gou Sheng's words, and realized that among his whole family, only he was the sole descendant. If something happened to him, the Ji family would truly be extinct.

  Helplessly returned to the pit again, looking at Er Dan and Gou Sheng's somewhat gloomy faces, shook his head and said:

  "Dig."

  Then he went down with another scoop, but did not expect that at this time a black air actually came up from the ground along his iron scoop. Seeing this situation, Ji Yaozu immediately shouted loudly:

  "The grave energy is coming, let's go!" He said, and then he jumped up to over a meter high ditch without using his hands.

  And those two men were also scared and crawled up to the pit, at this time the black air from the ground was getting more and more, those ignorant devils approached to take a look, but were enveloped by the black air all over their bodies, and suddenly cried out in horror.
