C8 End of Story

Upon hearing Daoist Priest Gui Yan's words, a hesitant expression appeared on Mu Sheng's face. Daoist Priest Gui Yan added another sentence. "In order not to go against your words, you have to dig the grave, but you don't have to open the coffin. It's just that you have to help me clean up the things inside the coffin. "

Mu Sheng heard what Daoist Priest Gui Yan said and knew that this was the bottom line of the Daoist. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and agreed to the Daoist's request.

Daoist Priest Gui Yan brought Mu Sheng back to the interior of the tomb. This was the first time Mu Sheng saw a corpse, and it was also a corpse with such a ferocious face. He was also frightened by the dieb just now and could not help but feel dizzy and almost fainted on the ground. However, he endured it and didn't fall down. Daoist didn't say anything when he saw it, but when he faced Mu Sheng with his back, his expression seemed to be somewhat satisfied.

At this time, the corpse inside the coffin had already been fully revealed, because it was located in the desert. It didn't decompose into white bones like the corpses in other places. Instead, it withered and shriveled into a ball, which was even more terrifying. The corpse wore a magic crown on its head. It wore a robe that Mu Sheng could not tell which era it was from, and a pair of beast boots on its feet. There were beads of jade in front of his chest, and a book in his left hand. He was holding half a wall in his right hand and there was a piece of beast skin under his head.

Daoist Priest Gui Yan asked without turning his head. "Kid, can you tell what is the most valuable thing here?"

"Logically speaking, the things the corpse is holding and the things under its head should be the most valuable, but judging from the current value, the jewelry on its chest should be more valuable. Maybe the books and jade walls the corpse is holding have some profound mysteries. We'll only know after we've read them. " Mu Sheng replied cautiously.

Daoist Priest Gui Yan ordered Mu Sheng to take out the bamboo clips he bought from the market and put all the jewelry on the corpse into his pocket.

"Do you know what era these things came from?" The Daoist asked as he instructed Mu Sheng to place the jewelry.

"It looks like an antique from more than 500 years ago, but this person is wearing it and can't recognize which dynasty it was from. " Mu Sheng scratched his head and said.

"That's right. It seems like I didn't learn it for nothing in the pawnshop. " The Daoist nodded and said: "This tomb is the grave of the people of the Judiciary more than 500 years ago. Judging from the way he dressed, he should be the High Priest of the Judiciary. "

"Ah! The legendary deceased Judicial Tower's deceased, who was drowned in the yellow sand and disappeared a thousand years ago by the divine retribution? " Mu Sheng asked in surprise.

"I don't think so. Look. His clothes are very different from those of Dachang Country, but his jewelry is very similar to those of Dachang Country from over a hundred years ago. "

Mu Sheng nodded his head, and the Daoist continued, "After the Lou Jue City, the capital of the Lou Jue Kingdom, was flooded, it wasn't long before the Lou Jue Kingdom was destroyed. These people were the survivors of the Supreme Tower who returned to the Dachang Country after the destruction of the Supreme Tower Kingdom. For the past hundred years, other than their clothing and the unique characteristics of the Supreme Tower, all other customs and customs had basically been assimilated by the Great Chang. The Supreme Priest of the Supreme Tower will wear the crown on his head. "

At this time, Mu Sheng had already put away the jewelry. Daoist Priest Gui Yan did not let Mu Sheng take out the book and the jade coin. He took it out himself and put it into a brocade box before he could take a closer look at it. At this time, there were still many treasures and the seemingly important beast skin underneath the corpse. Daoist Priest Gui Yan asked Mu Sheng to take out the new woven mat that he had just bought from the linen pocket. He placed it on one side of the corpse and after putting it away, he saw the Daoist quickly place the straw mat under the corpse with a pinch. Then, he took out the fishing line and the hook to catch the four horns of the straw mat, and steadily fished out the dried corpse. Mu Sheng was dumbfounded by what he saw. This had completely overturned his understanding of tomb raiders. In his heart, Tomb raiders treated the corpses simply and roughly. They were like Daoist Priest Gui Yan, who paid attention to protecting the corpses. Adding the fact that Daoist Priest Gui Yan had asked him to collect the corpses, his heart had changed quite a bit.

"It's done. " Daoist Priest Gui Yan placed the corpse on the side of the coffin and clapped his hands.

"Now that we have collected all the belongings at the bottom of the coffin, we can stop working. "

Daoist Priest Gui Yan took the beast skin, and the other treasures were still kept in the cloth bags by Mu Sheng. The Daoist put the dried corpse and the straw mat into the coffin, and then covered the coffin. He removed the lotus lamp and led Mu Sheng out of the tomb.

"I won't bring it with me, I won't bring it with me even if I die. Ashes to dust, dust to earth. " Daoist Priest Gui Yan finished muttering at the entrance of the tomb. He led Mu Sheng to the outside of the silver needle and used a talisman to summon a tornado. The yellow sand was once again covered by the silver needle. After casting the spell, this place was no different from before when it was covered by the yellow sand.

Before the sky was bright, the two of them quietly returned to the inn. With someone as capable as Daoist Priest Gui Yan around, naturally no one would be able to discover their strange whereabouts.

Mu Sheng had followed Daoist Priest Gui Yan for the whole night. Although it was very tiring to lie on the bed now, However, he had been bitten by the dieb again, and this was the first time he had seen a tomb raider and a dried corpse. His body was very tired, but his mind was surprisingly excited. He couldn't fall asleep no matter what. He could not help but think of the strange inducing skill that he had not practiced for a long time. It seemed to have the effect of relieving fatigue. Thus, he sat on the bed and started doing breathing exercises. It didn't take long for his body's fatigue to recover, and his spirit also calmed down.

"Eh?" Mu Sheng suddenly exclaimed.

After a moment of silence, Mu Sheng suddenly felt that while he was practicing guidance, The plate on his chest seemed to follow his breathing, and as he inhaled, a cool breath entered his body from the air. This breath was faintly discernible, but it made him feel very comfortable. He could not help but fall asleep in it.

It was already noon when he woke up. Mu Sheng rubbed his eyes and felt that the soreness in his body had completely disappeared. He happily got off the bed and went to find Daoist Priest Gui Yan.

Daoist Priest Gui Yan had already woken up. At this time, he was studying the ancient book in his room. Mu Sheng only knew that the book was written in the ancient text, but he could not understand the content of the book at all.

"Master, do you know the Supreme Ancient Language?" Mu Sheng looked at the Taoist with admiration.

"In our line of work, you have to understand every language. Otherwise, when it comes time to use it, you will enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed. " Daoist Priest Gui Yan said faintly.

"How did you do it? I need to learn martial arts and techniques, and I also need to learn languages. Just one of them is very difficult for me to learn well. I won't even be able to master it in a few years. " Mu Sheng asked in admiration.

Daoist Priest Gui Yan heard Mu Sheng's question and a strange smile appeared on his face. He said, "I also learned it for a few years before I entered the sect. It's no different from you. It's just that I have more time than you. "

"How could it be? Aren't we both 24 hours a day? Moreover, you're even busier than me. Even if you're older than me, being able to know so many skills is already shocking enough. " Mu Sheng asked curiously.

"How old do you think I am?" The Daoist raised the corner of his mouth and asked in a mocking manner.

"If I didn't know that my master is a cultivator, just by looking at his appearance, I think he would at most be in his early thirties. But now that I know that Master is a cultivator, I guess Master should be in his forties, right? " Mu Sheng answered uncertainly.

Daoist Priest Gui Yan did not answer Mu Sheng's question directly. Instead, he stretched out his finger and made a two and then a four.

"24. . . ?" Mu Sheng was puzzled.

"Two hundred and forty years old. I don't think I have lived in this world for so long. " Daoist Priest Gui Yan sighed and said with a desolate tone.

"How. . . How is this possible?" Mu Sheng's eyes almost fell out when he heard what Daoist Priest Gui Yan said.

"There is no sixty-year cycle in the mountain, and the sun and moon are long in the world. When one cultivates, one can forget the years, and look at how white one's hair is when ordinary people look at it. " At this time, Daoist Priest Gui Yan had already put down the ancient book, and leisurely recited a poem.

"If not for the time limit being approaching, in order to find a trace of opportunity, how could I be willing to rob a tomb?" The Daoist faintly sighed.

"Do you feel like you have lived for a long time even though you are only two hundred and forty years old?" Daoist Priest Gui Yan looked at Mu Sheng's shocked face and sneered. "What would you think if there was someone who had lived for more than a thousand years?"

"Divine Immortal. " Mu Sheng blurted out.

"I'm afraid that this mighty figure who buried the Supreme Tower Ancient City is already over a thousand years old, but he still can't be considered a Divine Immortal. " Daoist Priest Gui Yan's tone carried a respectful tone when he mentioned this matter.

"What? The Supreme Tower Ancient City was buried by a supreme elder, not some divine retribution?" Mu Sheng was stunned.

"In the eyes of you mortals, this is the means of a Divine Immortal. Isn't the punishment of a Divine Immortal the divine retribution?"
