C97 Tomb Mural

The little girl came to the entrance of the tomb at some point: "Hurry up and undo the contract on me, or I'll run out and tell those people there's a spy from another world"

"Wait!" Lu Changkong put one hand behind his back and waved his other hand gently. "Come back first. We'll talk slowly. If you want to undo the contract, you'll have to wait until I learn magic, right?"

"No!" The girl's little head was like a rattle drum. The fear in her eyes became stronger and stronger. "I don't want to go back. You want to kill me!"

Lu Changkong was stunned. He did want to kill her, but how did she know?

Mai Laopi laughed and said, "Young Master Lu, you want her to come back. She will come back soon. "

"Really?" Lu Changkong's mind moved and the girl walked over involuntarily. She just moved forward with her legs and leaned back. Her hands kept swinging in a strange way and slowly approached Lu Changkong.

Mai Laopi took a step forward and grabbed the girl's face with his fingers like a stick. He pulled her over. "Run! Run? I want to see how you run. Do you know what a master-servant contract is? Lu Changkong is your master now, and you are his slave. What he wants you to do, what do you have to do? For example. . . If he wants you to accompany him in bed, you will take the initiative to take off your clothes. . . "

" Old Mai, you better not go too far. " Lu Changkong said awkwardly, "And your hand. . . "

"Oh, right!" Mai Laopi said, "She is also a zombie, but the feeling of pinching is similar to that of a living person. You should try it too. "

"Really?" Lu Changkong curiously pinched the other side of the girl's face. Who knew that he had just pinched her twice. "You guys bullied me. . . You only know how to bully people. . . And you still want to kill me. . . Wah. . . "

Lu Changkong was so scared that he quickly let go of his palm. He also knocked Mai Laopi's claw off. He scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "That. . . Little girl. . . I admit that I was a little reckless just now. Since you are also an unusual person, you don't have to. . . Insist. . . " Lu Changkong did not know how to put it.

The girl shouted, "What do I have to ask for? Who would willingly become a slave? What's wrong with me wanting to leave? If it was that old man, would I be captured as a slave by you? "

A light flashed in Lu Changkong's mind as he said," Old Mai, why did you run into the Wang Ling? And why did you become enemies with the Dragon Army? "

"Well. . . Hehe. . . " Mai Laopi rubbed his hands and said, "I have already said that I am here to find evidence that someone's magic and immortal spells have been combined. So I sneaked into this tomb. In the end, I met this little zombie who only knows how to scare people. He first took him as a pet. They ran into another group of grave robbers, who were fighting with them very happily. The Dragon Army you mentioned came. The group of grave robbers left a few people behind to continue fighting with me. The rest of them ran into other tombs. After I kill those people, It's already too late to run away. . . You saw everything behind me. "

Lu Changkong thought for a moment and said," Can you determine that the evidence you need is in this tomb? "

"Before we reach the end, I dare not jump to conclusions. " Mai Laopi said, "However, from this tomb that can turn a dead person into a zombie, I am 60% sure that I can find what I want. "

"Tomb Dao!" Lu Changkong said seriously, "You mean this grave is the one that turned a person into a zombie, not you?"

Mai Laopi corrected him. " He did not turn people into zombies, but turned the dead bodies into zombies. You should know how complicated and long it is to turn a corpse into a zombie. I can't do it at all"

" Yes, from the corpse entering the earth to absorbing the Yin Qi, to the corpse, rearing the corpse, giving birth to the corpse, the corpse breaking through the earth, creating spiritual awareness, it is a very long process, moving for hundreds of years. This tomb is indeed strange. It is. . . Very different from what I know. " Lu Changkong almost said the same thing with his Heavenly Regret Sword Finger, but he swallowed his words when he was about to say it.

"You can ask her if there's anything strange!" Mai Laopi pointed at the little girl and said, "She is a zombie born and raised here. What is it that she does not know?"

Lu Changkong squatted in front of the little girl and tried his best to smile. "Little sister, what is your name?"

The girl moved back and said, "My name is Tang Shi. "

"Tang Shi, a good name. " Lu Changkong was thinking about how to continue the conversation.

Tang Shi quickly said, "You can let me tell you what happened in the tomb, but I have a condition. "

"Remove the contract, I know, I know!" Lu Changkong raised his hands and surrendered.

Tang Shi said: "I think you're a good person. Don't tell me you're going back on your word like that otherworldly spy? But, what should I do if you go back on your word? " Tang Shi's big eyes stared unblinkingly at Lu Changkong's face. That little kid's little thoughts were all in Lu Changkong's eyes.

Lu Changkong smiled and said, "I, Lu Changkong swore to the heavens that if I lied to Tang Shi, I would be willing to be punished by the heavens and be struck by lightning. I would be eternally doomed. "

"No!" Tang Shi puffed her cheeks and said, "When you speak, you are always smiling cheekily. You definitely do not swear sincerely. Again. "

Lu Changkong did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could only "solemnly" swear again. Only then did Tang Shi smile in satisfaction and say, "Alright. I'll believe you once. This planet is a huge tomb, as far as I know, There are four princes buried here. Originally, there should be five, but for some reason, The last prince was never buried. "

Lu Changkong said, "Do you know who the last prince was?"

"Do you want to listen to me, or do you want to listen to me?" Tang Shi protested unhappily, "You have to pay attention to him. As I said, that prince hasn't been buried yet, and I don't know who he is either. "

"The four tombs are connected to each other inside. As long as you walk into one tomb path, you can enter the other four tombs. However, you need to have enough patience and time to figure out the maze like tomb paths. In addition, if you want to enter the tombs of the other three princes, you need to have enough strength to defeat the monsters guarding the three tombs! "

"Demons!"

Lu Changkong and Mai Laopi looked at each other and seemed to have thought of something at the same time.

Tang Shi still minded her own business and said, "It's the Gold Storing Beast, the Demon Silkworm Gold Bind, and the Tree Blood Essence Dark Spirit. They are all very fierce. " Tang Shi's eyes seemed to contain a trace of loss, a trace of fear, and a trace of unwillingness.

"Then what about the Eastern Qi King's Tomb?" Lu Changkong probed, "What are the demons in the Eastern Tomb of King Qi?"

Tang Shi shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't told you about them since I was born. I'm the only one here. "

Lu Changkong gasped and thought to himself, "Could it be that the monster guarding the Eastern Tomb is Tang Shi? But why is she so useless? Or perhaps, the real thing guarding the tomb is that kind of strange power that can turn a person into a zombie. Tang Shi just happened to have cultivated Spiritual Sense?"

Mai Laopi said, "Little Tang Shi, can you take us to the center of the tomb to take a look?"

"No!" Tang Shi firmly refused. "I've already told you about the matter of Wang Mu. You should break the contract and discuss the rest after I regain my freedom. "

Mai Laopi said with a smile, "I promised you. It's him, not me. Besides, if I don't teach him magic, he won't be able to break the master-servant contract. "

"You. . . You lied to me again!" Tang Shi was so angry that she jumped up and said, "Lu Changkong, quickly ask him to teach you magic. "

"Don't bring up Young Master Lu. " Mai Laopi said, "Whether he begged me or not is one thing, but whether I taught him or not is another. If. . . If he dares to use force, I'll leave immediately. If I can't beat him, can't I run away from him? If I don't enter the king's tomb, then you'll never be able to break the contract. "

Lu Changkong originally wanted to fulfill the agreement, but this Tang Shi's arrival was too strange. With the contract, even if Tang Shi was a powerful demon, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly. To be on the safe side, Lu Changkong tacitly approved of Mai Laopi's actions.

Tang Shi was coaxed and tricked by the two of them. She led them deeper into the tomb. After walking for more than two hundred miles, the walls of the tomb were no longer rugged stone walls, and murals gradually appeared.

Lu Changkong was not interested in the things that recorded the deceased's achievements in life, but Mai Laopi read them one by one with great interest. From time to time, he would raise his withered old hand and rub it on the mural.

Mai Laopi suddenly shouted, "Young Master Lu, come and look here. "

Lu Changkong casually looked over. He saw a general holding a broken sword carved on the mural. He had the perseverance of a mountain of corpses and a river of blood. He brought the few remaining personal soldiers and faced the black mass of enemies. His expression of facing death without fear made one feel respectful.

Mai Laopi pointed at the words on the mural and said, "Look here. "

Lu Changkong whispered, "In the twenty-eighth year of the Martial Saint realm, King Qi led his troops to fight in the Shocking Dragon Wild, and seven thousand warriors killed thirty thousand of their heads. In the end, they were outnumbered and surrounded by the enemy. The entire army had fought for several days, and they had lost all their men. Only twenty-one of them remained. "

"What's so special about that? Isn't it just about how brave King Dong Qi is?" Lu Changkong smiled. "This is also worth you making a fuss about?"

Mai Laopi pointed at another painting and said, "Look at this one again! This painting depicts the attack of New River City. What can you think of from it? I'm not asking you to chase after Mu Dongqi's bravery, but to ask what information can this painting bring you? "

The other painting depicted a great battle that was no less tragic than that of Shocking Dragon Wild, except that there was an additional Mountain Levelling King in the painting. Those who had not experienced that great battle would not be able to imagine how tragic it was for the soldiers of Dragon Army to dye eight hundred miles of cities with blood.

After Lu Changkong finished reading, he frowned and said, "If there were no reinforcements, the King of Eastern Qi would have died in the battlefield. No, even if there were reinforcements, they wouldn't be able to scatter tens of thousands of soldiers in such a short period of time to save King Dongqi. "

"That's right!" Mai Laopi said, "Look around. Is there something missing?"

Lu Changkong walked back to the front of the mural and came back again. "Every battle is recorded in three to five murals and supplemented with words. However, there was only one mural in the battle between Jinglong Ye and New River City. It seemed that those two battles were not completely recorded. "

"That's not right!" Lu Changkong shook his head and said, "These two murals were originally complete, but it was unknown who erased them. He changed to another mural. Look at the carving, there is a clear difference. " After saying that, He raised his hand and slammed it on the wall. The two murals near the "Battle of the Shocking Dragon" were indeed shaken off by him until they fell to the ground. From the words that still remained on the wall, it could be seen that the person who destroyed the painting back then had not done it thoroughly.

Lu Changkong moved closer and tried his best to identify the murals. "King Qi originally wanted to commit suicide to his heart's content. The King has arrived. He snatched King Qi's sword and sacrificed millions of soldiers to defeat the enemy. . . "

After a few steps, Lu Changkong rushed to another painting and continued to read, "King Qi, open the painting. Lead the way. Defeat the enemy under New River City, chase after the enemy for seven days and nights, kill countless enemies. . . "

Mai Laopi said, "What can you think of?"

"Someone saved King Qi and laid the foundation for victory in this decisive battle. Someone seemed to be unwilling to let his descendants know of his existence and intentionally wiped away his extraordinary achievements. Or rather, wiped away the existence of another King. "

" That's not all. " Mai Laopi added, "What is the blood sacrifice of that prince? Is it the sky, the earth, or the souls of dead soldiers? What are the soldiers he attracted? Is it a god, a ghost, or something else?"

Lu Changkong analyzed," If you say 'offering blood to the heavens, starting with a million heavenly soldiers', Sacrificing blood to the gods, starting a million nether soldiers'. It doesn't make sense. That person had the ability to call upon heavenly soldiers or heavenly generals, or even draw upon the ghost soldiers of the Underworld. There was simply no need for King Qi's army to make such a great sacrifice. He alone was enough to sweep through the world. It seemed like. . . There is only one. . . "

"Using blood as a sacrifice to the soul, starting with a million Corpse Soldiers!"

The two spoke out their guesses at the same time, and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Although Mai Laopi was a necromancer, activating necromancy to summon a million undead army wasn't impossible. However, his undead army could only delay the enemy for a period of time. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to defeat the enemy, let alone chase them for seven days. Unless that person was him. . .

Lu Changkong's heart was cold. A terrifying guess lingered in his heart. "Who can fight alone? Someone who can control a million Corpse Soldiers? The Maoshan Sect? Impossible, Maoshan Corpse Controlling Technique. Although it was overbearing, it was cultivated to the extreme. A single person could only control 24 flying yakshas. Apart from the cultivators from the Immortal Holy Church, no one else could do this. This meant that the senior of the Immortal Holy Church was. . . It was very likely that he was once a general under the command of a Saint Martial King. However, why did the Immortal Holy Church become a cult? Why did the Imperial Court spare no effort to exterminate the Immortal Holy Church? Could it be that the rabbit had died and the dog had been cooked? The birds have gone into hiding?"

"Let's take a look inside the tomb!"

After a moment of silence, the two of them had the same idea again. The two of them walked further in. They began to pay attention to the murals on both sides of the tomb road. In almost every battle, they could more or less see the figure of the nameless prince. They could even see his back in a few of the paintings that had been taken away, or the incomplete influence. The two of them looked down. At the same time, they quickened their pace.

After walking for an unknown period of time, they finally walked out of the tomb path. However, what lay before them was not a coffin, but an empty valley.
