Chapter 51 Seeing the dragon in the field
At this moment, the tomb was as silent as a cicada. The masters were sweating profusely and felt cold all over. They bent their waists and lowered their heads, not daring to make any more sounds, for fear of offending the evil spirit in front of them and causing them to kill.

People like them who live a life of luxury naturally value their lives very much. They are arrogant towards their servants, but they are extremely respectful to such ruthless people holding sharp knives.

This act of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys also brought silence to the chaotic scene. The Taoist glanced at the crowd with a chuckle, picked up the head and threw it into the cauldron.

He twirled his sleeves, picked up his whisk and said, "I invited you all here, and I hope you can abide by the rules. If I hear any gossips from you guys again and find out that you guys are doing something tricky, then this will be your fate."

"I, we all remember the words of the real person." The masters lowered their heads and became humble servants. Under the command of the yellow-robed man, they obeyed his orders like a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

They walked around the dragon pillar and tremblingly towards the tomb chamber. They looked around carefully, with a chill in their hearts.

A dark, damp, gloomy and mysterious place. It was not any place they knew, nor did it look like a place in the royal residence.

Some people recalled the smoke they saw at the end and realized that they had been tricked.

Some people had tears in their eyes and were extremely depressed about their subsequent circumstances.

Some people have clear eyes, looking around at the environment, always looking for opportunities.

Li Daoxuan belonged to the latter. After Master Li and his eldest brother woke up, he used the golden light of the Niwan to convey the message and told them everything that had happened.

After experiencing the panic, Master Li and the eldest brother were stunned when they heard his voice transmission, and then they wondered if they were hallucinating. The two of them looked at each other unconsciously, and then stole a glance at Li Daoxuan. Seeing that Li Daoxuan was also glancing at them sideways, and nodded as if to confirm, the two of them felt relieved. In addition to thinking that this method of transmitting sound through thoughts was truly magical, they also listened carefully to Li Daoxuan's explanation.

This method of transmitting thoughts through voice was like a reassurance that made the two of them feel at ease.

"Father, brother. These thieves are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are Taiping thieves. They brought us to this so-called Longling, and I'm afraid they have bad intentions. You should follow me closely and don't leave without permission. Don't be the first to come out among the crowd, and keep a low profile. Last time I predicted this trip, it means you will survive from death. You just need to deal with it calmly, and there will be a chance of survival. So father and brother, don't be discouraged, just stay with me." Li Daoxuan leaned his arms against Master Li and his elder brother, and told them his words of comfort.

It was only after hearing these words that Master Li and the eldest brother felt at ease. They had experienced storms before, but the storms before them were really big. The Taoist was moody and unpredictable. If their actions did not please the other party, they would probably lose their heads. Anyone who encountered such a situation would be terrified and at a loss.

Fortunately, Daoxuan comforted them, and the two of them just felt relieved. They lowered their heads and hid in the crowd, following the crowd and moving forward slowly. But as long as they stayed close to Li Daoxuan, the two of them didn't feel how scary this place was.

"My son will definitely find a way." Master Li thought with relief.

"My third brother left home when he was young and has been practicing for many years. He has this method to convey messages to me and my father. He must have acquired extraordinary skills and can definitely protect our safety." The eldest brother thought happily.

"Alas, I can only take it one step at a time." Li Daoxuan said sadly.

He was far from being as calm as he appeared to be. He was just a little more thoughtful in his panic. After all, the disaster had already happened, and it was not his character to blame others. He was definitely panicked. After all, he was not a born saint, and he could do anything after traveling through time.

After all, Li Daoxuan was just an ordinary person before he came. He lived a very ordinary life. He went to college honestly, and then went out to find a stable job. Every day from nine to five, he went home to play games and watch anime. In addition, his parents died, so he rarely interacted with relatives. In a society where people are cold and indifferent, not going out means no social interaction.

Expecting an ordinary person like him to stay calm in times of crisis and think of a way out of a crisis is like inviting a blind man to watch a show.

It's just that when a dog is desperate, it will jump over the wall, and when a person is anxious, his brain will work quickly. At this critical moment, Li Daoxuan was still trying his best to think of some solutions.

"If I had paper and pen, I could draw a few talismans to get some yin-yang fish, and then go into the illusion to ask Uncle Jiu." Li Daoxuan missed the omnipotent Uncle Jiu. If Uncle Jiu was still here, he would definitely have a way. "Uncle Jiu said that only when you are calm in times of danger can you find life. Only when you understand the mystery can you survive from death. These Taiping strongmen capture people as sacrifices, and they will definitely not let the sacrifices die easily. I saw that the tomb just now is the root of the Nine Dragon Pillar. This tomb has the number of nine extremes, so there must be some mystery." Li Daoxuan guessed in his heart why the Taoist poured blood into the cauldron and then presented it in this tomb.

He thought that the Taoist had just killed people as sacrifices, and two people had already gone. After killing two people, the Taoist stopped and did not continue. In this way, this tomb has nine chambers, which is consistent with the Yang Yao of the Book of Changes.

He said: "Nine two, seeing the dragon in the field, it is beneficial to see the great man."

"Xiang" says: "Seeing a dragon in the field" means that virtue is spread widely.

This means that the king's virtue is widespread and it is beneficial for him to meet great men.

But what is the use of such sacrifices? What does it have to do with seeing a dragon in the field?

Li Daoxuan was puzzled. He had only just started to learn Taoism and did not understand the true meaning.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of blood dripping. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something.

"Dragons fight in the wild! Their blood is dark yellow!"

"Jian Long Zaitian! Lord Li Jian!"

"That's it! That's it!"

Only then did he understand why the Taoist offered sacrifices to the Nine Dragon Pillar Tomb with blood and heads. He probably wanted to exchange human blood for dragon blood.

"If so, then these people had already disturbed Longling's Qian formation when they opened the stone gate. If I'm not wrong, then the flying dragon in the sky should be the hidden dragon, which is the first nine. The hidden dragon is a hermit, who does not change in the world and does not become famous. He acts when he is happy and disobeys when he is sad. He is indeed unmovable."

"The trapped dragon in Longling ascended to heaven and turned into a flying dragon in the sky. This group of people has already lost the greatest opportunity. If they want to get the opportunity in this tomb, they must regret it."

After thinking about it this way, I had an understanding of the number of people who would be involved in the subsequent sacrifices.

Dragon is honored by the number five, which is the most honorable number of nine and five. The Qian Gua in the Book of Changes says that the dragon with nine arrogance will regret.

If he guessed correctly, there must be several nine-dragon pillar chambers in this tomb. The number of people who need to be sacrificed is three, four, and five. And the number of people who are arrogant and regretful is also very large. It must be the last chamber. It is the place where the Taoist awakened their King Yi to offer sacrifices.

I'm afraid that last place is where everyone is buried. He needs to do something during this time to save his life.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan looked at the dragon pillars that were watered with blood, and an idea came to his mind. He closed his eyes and meditated carefully.

It was just during this quiet moment that he could hear the faint sound of footsteps. Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and looked towards the sound in surprise, making sure that it was not someone from the Taiping Yellow Robe.

"Who could be coming next?" Li Daoxuan was suspicious.
