Tang Zhen's heart sank suddenly. The beacon that was originally intended to summon his senior brothers had actually attracted something like a demon.
At this moment, the corpse mastiff is not by his side. If it were here, perhaps it could hold off the enemy for a while.
But Tang Zhen knows that if it's meant to be trouble, it can't be avoided. He hurriedly rushed back into the house and said to Yan Yin, "Go and hide at a neighbor's house quickly. Don't come out under any circumstances. No matter what happens, you must not show yourself."
Seeing his extremely tense expression, Yan Yin was filled with fear and burst into tears. "Where are you going?"
Tang Zhen comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm going to hide in that mysterious cave in the backyard for a while. They are looking for me and won't harm you."
Yan Yin sobbed and said, "Then take this." As she spoke, she took out the sachet containing the Yang-suppressing Pearl from her bosom and handed it to Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen pondered slightly. When he thought of the numerous eerie ghost bats in the cave, he felt a headache. With this Yang-suppressing Pearl, it could just restrain those extremely poisonous ghost bats.
Tang Zhen said, "All right." Then he put the Yang-suppressing Pearl into his bosom. Carrying that seemingly bottomless bag of treasures and holding the Soul-Snatching Weapon, he came to the hole of the Corpse-Suppressing Tower in the backyard. He gently lifted a gap in the stone slab and ducked inside.
Standing inside the Corpse-Suppressing Tower, Tang Zhen held his breath and listened intently for any sounds outside. Only the sound of distant horse hooves could be heard. Before long, the sound of horse hooves was right beside them. The people on horseback dismounted. A familiar voice that made Tang Zhen's heart skip a beat rang out, "Everyone, search. Find that kid and the old master will reward you handsomely."
Tang Zhen secretly groaned. It really is that devil!
Originally, the one who came was the seventh disciple of the Moving Mountain Ancestor in the Tomb Raiding Sect, Tie Cheng Song. This person has long legs and big feet, and his skills in kicking are extremely extraordinary. People in the Jianghu gave him the nickname "Iron feet". Over time, his original name was gradually forgotten.
In the Tomb Raiding Sect, there are four factions according to different methods of operation: Faju, Mojin, Moving Mountains, and Xieling. Faju has a seal, Mojin has a talisman, Moving Mountains has techniques, and Xieling has armor. Among them, the most mysterious one is undoubtedly the "Moving Mountain Taoists". They dress up as Taoists all year round and wander around. Because of this attire, they add a lot of mystery. So many people think that their "Moving Mountain Dividing Armor Technique" for excavating ancient tombs is a mysterious spell similar to Maoshan Taoism.
The leader of this generation of the Moving Mountain Sect calls himself the Moving Mountain Ancestor and claims to have the ability to penetrate heaven and earth. The Moving Mountain Ancestor has accepted seven disciples, and Iron feet is his last disciple.
Iron feet is naturally stupid and has never been liked by the Moving Mountain Ancestor. He has only learned some shallow spells. But he is naturally cruel and extremely fierce. Those who offend him will often have a terrible end if they fall into his hands.
Fortunately, the Tomb Raiding Sect has strict rules and does not allow people to fight easily, let alone harm others. Iron feet is thus restrained in many ways. And it is precisely because of this that many people are saved.
The origin of the Mojin Sect can be traced back to the Warring States period. The disciples under this sect are proficient in the "Dragon-Finding Formula" and the "Dividing Gold and Fixing the Point" technique. When it was passed down to the Mojin King, the art of finding dragons and fixing points was used so masterfully that it reached the peak.
The Mojin King is proficient in everything and can do anything. The only regret is that he does not know the Moving Mountain Dividing Armor Technique passed down by the Moving Mountain Taoists from Maoshan.
Among the six disciples of the Mojin King, there is a person known as the Ingenious Zhuge Guo Tianbao who came up with a plan to deceive everyone.
Guo Tianbao traveled all the way to Sichuan and found a young man with excellent bones. He taught him Mojin techniques for four years. Then, he sent him to infiltrate the Moving Mountain Sect as an undercover agent and let him steal the Moving Mountain Dividing Armor Technique.
This young man is Tang Zhen. Tang Zhen readily agreed. In fact, he also has his own plans in mind. He originally planned to steal the technique and then slip away quietly. He would go on a big tomb raid with his sworn brothers and then retire.
However, things did not go as planned. Tang Zhen was highly regarded by the Moving Mountain Ancestor in the Moving Mountain Sect. In less than half a year, he was promoted to be in charge of opening and closing the altar. When the Moving Mountain Taoists perform spells, Tang Zhen serves by their side.
Tang Zhen secretly learned a lot every day by being on the side. One day, when cleaning, he accidentally dropped the Mojin Talisman on his body. It was just seen by Luo Yuhu, the fifth disciple of the Moving Mountain Ancestor. Tang Zhen had to escape overnight. Before leaving, he also stole a medicine manual for refining various evil-repelling drugs.
Among the Maoshan Taoism practiced by the disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect, the most important one is medicine technique - nourishing people with medicine, simmering people with medicine, restraining people with medicine... All kinds of Taoist techniques are derived from this.
And what is recorded in this medicine manual is precisely the mysterious secret recipe for refining various drugs.
How can the Moving Mountain Ancestor not be shocked and angry?
So, the Moving Mountain Ancestor ordered his direct disciple Iron feet to lead a group of disciples and grandchildren to chase closely.
They chased all the way from Fujian to Zhili. Tang Zhen was caught up by Iron feet twice along the way. He escaped by his wit every time, but he was also seriously injured because of this. He escaped all the way to that dense forest. When the pursuers arrived again, in a critical moment, Tang Zhen took advantage of the negligence of Old Yan and his daughter and hid in a bucket. Only then did he narrowly escape. Who would have thought that after more than half a year, Iron feet had reached here again. It's really a narrow escape.
Only to hear Iron feet let out a cheer, "Here it is." The footsteps ran towards the hole of the Corpse-Suppressing Tower in the backyard with a thumping sound.
Tang Zhen hurriedly went down one floor and hid himself at the corner of the stairs on the sixth floor. Only to see that stone slab was thrown aside with a clang. A long horse face slowly stretched in from the hole.
