Chapter 53 Cremation into Soup

  Leader Wang and his party entered the passage first, and then Zhao Xiayang waved his hand, followed by the disciples of Qingshuimen. There were more than 20 strong soldiers, and the rest did not move until they all disappeared behind the light curtain.

  The middle-aged scholar was afraid that Commander Wang was deeply scheming, and worried that Zhao Xiayang would have a large number of people, so he temporarily recruited a few lone rangers.

  Lu Bei and She Yan declined the middle-aged scholar's proposal to form a team. It is safe to have a large number of people, but they feel that what middle-aged scholars need is not teammates, but cannon fodder to prevent disasters.

   There was an uninvited visitor behind the tunnel, and the two dared not delay, and stepped into the water curtain at the end of the tunnel one after the other.

  In an instant, the front was pitch black, and She Yan held a luminous bead in her hand and couldn't see all directions clearly, only knowing that she was in a huge cave.

   "The back road is gone, was that a teleportation formation just now?" Lu Beixiang stepped back a few steps, but failed to repeatedly jump horizontally in the water curtain.

"should be."

  She Yan frowned and put away the luminous beads, the golden snake eyes flashed different colors, sniffing the faint and imperceptible smell in the air, and led Lu Bei to walk quickly to the right.

  Without the luminous bead lighting, the phosphate rock fragments on the stone wall of the cave glow little by little. It is obviously underground, but it gives people the feeling of looking up at the starry sky.

  Lu Bei followed She Yan closely, and walked into a winding tunnel mine. The cave was dark and dull. He raised his hand and put it on She Xian's shoulder, in case a crisis suddenly came, and he couldn't sacrifice his teammates immediately.

  She Yan didn't know what Lu Bei was thinking, only when the person was in the dark and his eyes were blind, did she subconsciously put it on her shoulder.

   "Aunt Snake, you are an old tomb robber. Let's analyze what's going on in this mine."

  Lu Beiqi said: "There are mines outside the teleportation formation, which can be said to be the work of local gangs seeking money. The formation is already on the edge of the tomb, why are there still obvious traces of excavation?"

   "It may be a robbery hole, or it may be excavated by the funeral people..."

  She Yan gave two answers that he didn't quite believe, and then fell silent. Ever since he learned that he was tricked by Commander Wang and became one of the five keys to open the door, he had a vague sense of foreboding.

  Since Commander Wang was able to confirm her bloodline as a demon cultivator, he could naturally find out her true identity. She was lonely wearing a human skin mask, and she was in a terrible mood.

  Lu Bei was about to say something, when suddenly there was flowing air coming from the front, accompanied by the humid air, there were several shrill screams.

   Without hesitation, Lu Bei held the knife in his hand and followed She Yan to quickly search for the source of the sound.

   The light and shadow are blurred, and a huge space that has been dormant underground for many years comes into view.

At a height of 100 meters, the blue Qiong cover is under the hood, and the water waves are undercurrents. The light passes through it, and a few swimming fish can be seen faintly. Judging from the size, all of them are amazing in size. Without exception, Lin Yu was ecstatic level of monsters.

Under the blue sky, the square ground is covered with neat stone slabs, one hundred and eight stone pillars are arranged in arrays, a building shaped like a pyramid is in the center, and there are four ditches connected to the boundary moat, dividing the entire underground area into four pieces.

   "The sky is round and the place is guarded by four spirits, dotted all over the place, and the spirit veins gather in the river..."

  Lu Bei was dumbfounded, and pressed his hand tightly on She Yan's shoulder: "I believe that such a large-scale mausoleum is said to be the tomb of Emperor Qinggan. Did we use the wrong teleportation array?"

  She Yan was also surprised to see the giant pyramid building, sober with shoulder pain, frowning and slapped Lu Bei's paw away.

   "Be gentle, don't you have any strength in your mind?"

   "There are a few, try to see if you are dreaming."

  She Yan was silent, and the snake eyes looked at Lu Bei, who was also silent. After a while, they both said at the same time: "What do you think?"

  The specifications of the large tomb are definitely not available to ordinary members of the royal family. It can be called a relic.

  Lu Bei didn't want to take risks, and neither did She Yan.

   Just after the two of them agreed and finalized the plan to return the same way, a new problem came before them.

  Where is the road?

  The teleportation array is one-way, you can only go in and out, and you can't find the exit if you want to retreat.

   "No way, let's take a look again, we're just outside, don't go in."

Lu Bei pointed to the pyramid in the distance, and suddenly thought of a certain possibility: "I heard that after Qinggan's demise, the imperial tombs located in Wuzhou were protected by garrisons, and no one was allowed to steal or explore, even the Zhu family's own people." No, is it possible that we are one of them?"

  The unspoken rule of the alternation of dynasties, the tombs of the former emperors are forbidden areas and must be properly protected.

   Firstly, to respect others is to respect oneself. Secondly, no one has a hundred years to go. Once a precedent has been established, if you poach others today, they will poach you tomorrow.

   "Impossible, you really think."

She Yan shook her head: "The garrison's protection is just superficial talk. Anyway, I don't believe it. I suspect that the burial in the tomb in front of me is fake, and the hidden treasure is real. The Zhu family can't be indifferent. Found it."

"That's good."

  Lu Bei heaved a sigh of relief: "I'm really afraid that when I find a way out, I'll be facing a military barracks. Dozens of siege cannons are firing in salvo. I can't stop you if I push you forward."

  She Yan: "..."

  She rolled her eyes and strode towards the pyramid.

  Lu Bei hurriedly followed, stepping on the footprints left by She Yan, the two stepped into the Four Spirit Formation, but after a while, they saw two corpses beside a coiled snake flower post.

  The screams before came from them.

  The exposed skin of the two was purple and black, bleeding from the seven orifices, ferocious facial expressions, and distorted limbs. It was obvious at a glance that they had experienced great pain before they died.

"Pity."

  Lu Bei shook his head, the Qiankun bag was right in front of him but he couldn't pick it up.

   "They died from the snake's kiss, and the anti-drug beads are useless. If you don't want to die, follow me closely."

She Yan reminded Lu Beidao that she could smell the smell of snakes in the air as soon as she left the teleportation formation. As expected, except that the ruins were a bit bigger, the risk was higher, and the layout of the Four Spirit Formation was a bit grander, other aspects were not much different from what she expected .

  Lu Bei heard that the chicken was pecking at the rice, and took two steps towards She Yan. The latter demonized a snake tail, exuding the same kind of aura, and it was safe to walk through the stone pillars.

   Walking halfway, the coiled snake style hissed softly, and thin black-scaled snakes crawled out of the hollow stone pillars. These poisonous snakes are half a meter long and 20 centimeters short. They have red stripes on their foreheads, black scales glowing with a metallic luminescence, and their red letters are like fire. After a while, they densely covered the ground, gathering as many as a thousand.

  [Sub-quest: Defeat King Snake Formation, reward 100,000 experience]

   Lu Bei saw that the back of his neck felt cold, and took two steps closer to She Yan again. It was also a snake, but the one beside him was much warmer.

   "Get out of the way, don't lean so tight!"

  She Yan's face was full of disgust, and she took a step away from Lu Bei. Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and her own breath could not confuse the surrounding poisonous snakes, she raised her wrist high.

  The golden bracelet wandered away, and the little golden-scaled snake stood upright in She Chan's palm. Following its unhurried voicing, the black poisonous snakes scattered piece by piece, rushing back into the stone pillar like a tide.

   "Aunt Snake, you haven't answered the question I asked you last time. Can I touch this Sister Snake?" Lu Bei's eyes lit up. He knew that this snake had a prominent status, so he should have fed it several times along the way.

   "Okay, but the ugly words are up front. It's none of my business to die. You asked for it."

   "Then please tell Sister Snake that if your cremation turns into soup one day, let it come to Sanqing Peak to find me. If Lu has a stutter, he will never starve it." Lu Bei said seriously.

   "Don't bother, as long as I have a breath before I die, you don't want to live alone!"

   "Hey, it smells so earthy."
