"Well, it's possible to say Xing Dai is talking nonsense, but Long Xiangling shouldn't talk nonsense." The dwarf Wagra touched his chin and concluded.
"Dear, what do you mean by saying this?" Xing Dai waited for Wagra with an angry face and asked. The dwarf would not give her a reasonable explanation, so she would take action.
"Okay, Xingdai, now is not the time for internal conflict. You have the chance to deal with this short man. Don't be in a hurry at this moment." Ye Wentian comforted Xingdai and asked Long Xiangling, "Xiangling, you are sure you are not wrong. Maybe you are dazzled."
Long Xiangling shook her head when she heard this and replied with certainty: "Impossible, even if I see it, it is impossible for Sister Xingdai to be confused with me. Sister Xingdai and I did see the mermaid just now. Husband, don't you believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but races like mermaids that only exist in ancient documents suddenly appeared beside us, which made me feel unreal." Ip Mantian quickly explained.
"Then should I tell the child of Kaihuai?" Long Xiangling asked.
"Don't tell him for the time being. The child has been very busy recently. I should tell him about such things when he is free." Ip Mantian replied after thinking about it for a while.
"Then we will check this matter. We have nothing to do recently, and we are just playing cards. And since all the races like mermaids that have only appeared in ancient documents have appeared, do you think other races recorded in ancient documents will be encountered by us?" Hack changed his usual calmness and suggested to everyone with an excited look on his face.
Obviously, his proposal was approved by Gillis and Wagra. After Ip Mantian nodded in charge of their logistics, he immediately ran to the lake where the mermaids appeared and began to look for possible clues.
"Master, you are here, I will find you. The old man asked me to inform you to go back quickly. He has something to tell you to do. Oh, by the way, the mistress is going back, and the old man is going to find you too." A servant in the lord's mansion ran to Ye Wentian with sweat on his head and said to Ye Wentian.
"Sit down and take a breath first. Do you know what my father is asking us husband and wife?"
"I don't know very well. The old man was fine in the morning, but after seeing a guest who came to find him at noon, he immediately ordered all the servants in our mansion to leave the mansion and look for the master to return."
"Oh, I understand. You stay here for a while, and then clean up the place. The wife and I will go back to the house first to see what my father asked me to do. Xingdai, should you stay here with those three, or go back with us?" said Yipin and Xingdai.
"Hmph, what am I going back with you? Are you a light bulb? I'll stay here to watch those three idiots, so that they won't get into trouble in a while." Xing Dai replied with a cold snorted.
"Okay, since you don't want to go back, then stay here and play for a while. Xiangling and I will take a step first." After I said that, I rushed back with Long Xiangling. On the way, I couldn't help but wonder who made my father so nervous. As soon as I met him, I was so anxious to find him.
"Okay, don't think about it all. Everything will be clear after seeing my father." Long Xiangling whispered from the side.
Back at the lord's mansion, Ye Wentian took Long Xiangling to Ye Zhen's room and knocked gently on the door, "Father, I'm back."
"Come in and talk." Ye Zhen's voice came from the house.
Ye Wentian pushed the door and walked into the room. He saw that in addition to his father Ye Zhen, there was a stranger in the room. Seeing Ye Wentian's face with doubts, Ye Zhen spoke and introduced to Ye Wentian: "Wentian, let me introduce you to you. This is Malanka, the most powerful prophet in the Aolong Empire. Nine out of ten prophecies he made."
Prophet? Ip Mantian was stunned for a moment, looked at the old man who was fucked by the thin man in front of him, and politely said, "Hello, Master Malanka."
After asking, Ye Wentian asked Ye Zhen again: "Father, what's wrong with you looking for Xiangling and you to come back in such a hurry?"
"Malanka told me about this, so let Malanka explain it to you personally."
"Okay. Master Malanka, don't know what you want to tell me?"
"Ip Man-tung and Long Xiangling among the Six Sages, don't trust your eyes too much, and remember the words that the authorities are confused about." Malanka
"Sorry, Master Malanka. I didn't understand what you mean."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will naturally understand in the future. I have one more thing to tell you."
"Please say it."
"Don't look for races that only exist in ancient documents. Those are unknown races. If you provoke them, you won't have any good ending."
Ip Mantian was shocked when he heard this. He was already a little panicked when he was called out by Malanka. Because even his father Ye Zhen didn't know that he and his wife were the six sages. Now Maraka actually told him directly what happened by the lake this morning. This made Ye Wentian couldn't help but believe that the Malanka in front of him might be like his father said, a person who knows real prophecy, rather than the liars he had seen in the past.
"Thank you for your advice from Master, I will remember it." Ip Mantian suppressed his surprise and politely bowed to Malanka to thank him.
"No need to be polite. Brother Ye, I'm a little tired. I wonder if I can clean up a room for me to rest?" Malanka said politely to Ye Zhen.
"Of course it's okay. You and I have been good friends since I was young. You are a little out of your way to say this. You just think it's your own home here."
"Stop!" Ye Wentian was about to sneak out of the house with Malanka, but before his legs could step out of the room, he heard Ye Zhen shout in a low voice.
"Father, what else do you have?" Ye Wentian turned around and asked Ye Zhen awkwardly.
"Hmph...one of the Six Sages? Son, should you explain to me what you did with your daughter-in-law in the past twenty years?"
"Father...it's okay to tell you, but you have to keep it a secret for me." Ye Wentian said to Ye Zhen after thinking for a while.
"Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly."
"...This is a long way to say, and it starts when Xiangling and I left Anping together..."
Let’s ignore the relationship between Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling, but start with Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling accidentally breaking into an ancient tomb together.
It is so good at home, but everything is difficult to go out. For love, Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling bravely chose their own path. But the problem that followed was that the two of them could not eat or drink for love. If they were not in charge of the family, they did not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. The two of them came out in a hurry, and they did not plan their future after they came out. So when the two realized that, there was not much money left on them. In order to solve the economic crisis between the two, Ip Mantian decided to make money by becoming a mercenary and a couple mercenary with Long Xiangling.
The idea was good, but when I was really doing it, Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling realized that it was not so easy to be a mercenary. In order to complete this task, Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling went deep into the mountains and forests, but ended up getting lost in the mountains and forests. Walking around, the two of them moved to a house that had been abandoned for a long time, as if they were living in people. How could there be houses in such deep mountains and forests?
"Brother Wentian, where is this place? It makes people feel a little scared." Long Xiangling, who was just seventeen years old, said holding Ye Wentian's arm.
"Don't worry, Xiangling, I will protect you." Ip Mantian gently comforted Long Xiangling.
After looking around, Ip Man-ten said, "It looks like a tomb here."
"What! Brother Wentian, don't scare me." Long Xiangling was shocked when she heard this, and hugged Ye Wentian even tighter.
"I should read it right. Xiangling, look at this. This is called 白际 (pronounced xi), which is a necessary decoration for the tombs of wealthy families in ancient times." Ip Mantian pointed to a stone sculpture with a body covered with moss and shaped like a big turtle and said to Long Xiangling.
"Which wealthy family would build their tombs in such deep mountains and forests?" Long Xiangling said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by the ghosts who were sleeping here forever.
"Looking at the state of being covered with plants, we probably should be the first uninvited guests here. Xiangling, we searched separately, maybe there were many treasures hidden in this tomb."
"No, I'd better act with you. Here I feel weird. We can take care of you." Long Xiangling shook her head and rejected Ye Wentian's suggestion. Ye Wentian thought it was right, so he stopped searching separately with Long Xiangling. He took Long Xiangling's hand and began to carefully search for the possible entrance to the tomb.
Hard work pays off. After a careful search, Ye Wentian found the entrance to the tomb. A stone gate that was about to be completely covered by green vines. I need to thank Long Xiangling here, otherwise she would have been almost beaten by green vines. The young lady had a temper and burned the green vines to a fire. I don’t know when I will find the entrance to the tomb.
When the temperature of the stone gate dropped, Ip Mantian used all his strength to push the stone gate, but the stone gate remained motionless. "Strange, why can't this stone gate be pushed open?" Ip Mantian scratched his head in wonder.
"Idiot, let's see me." Long Xiangling pushed Ye Wentian aside and began to look for it carefully on the stone gate.
"Xiangling, what are you looking for?" Ye Wentian asked strangely.
"Look for a mechanism. It's too hard to use human power if you don't need to open the mechanism." Long Xiangling replied without looking back.
"Oh." Ip Mantian responded, and he also came over and started to help find the agency.
Finally, there was a small hole in an inconspicuous place in the lower right corner of the stone gate, which looked like a keyhole. "Brother Wentian, go find a small branch such a thick one for me. Remember, it must be straight." Long Xiangling looked at the small hole and said to Ye Wentian.
"Oh, okay, I'll go and look for it." Ye Wentian responded and soon found a small branch that met Long Xiangling's requirements. Long Xiangling took the branch, gestured at the hole, and then poked it hard. While poking, she turned the branch in her hand from time to time.
"Xiangling, what are you doing?"
"Unlock the lock."
"You can unlock the lock?"
"Yes, when I made mistakes in the palace and were locked up and fasted, I secretly unlocked the lock and found something to eat. I would go back secretly after I finished eating. Hehe... I tell you, no one else knows my lock-opening skills except you. Even my father doesn't know." As Long Xiangling said, she smiled at Ye Wentian with a proud look on her face.
Ye Wentian was about to ask who Long Xiangling learned to unlock the lock, but Long Xiangling's next words interrupted Ye Wentian's question.
"It's open." As Long Xiangling's words, the stone gate really opened slowly. The originally confined stone gate revealed a passage for only one person to enter and exit.
Without rushing in immediately, Ip Mantian grabbed two rabbits from the woods, tied the rabbit's legs and threw them into the tomb. After a stick of incense, the rabbit that was originally jumping around had turned into a dead rabbit.
"Xiangling, although the tomb is open, we can't go in for the time being. We are camping here today and we will see if we can enter the tomb tomorrow." Ye Wentian said to Long Xiangling as he looked at the two dead rabbits.
"Okay. Then I'll go to make a fire and Brother Wentian will prepare tonight's dinner."
"No problem, I will first put up the camp with you, and then we will act separately."
Dinner is very simple, roast rabbit meat. Of course, the rabbit is not the two dead in the tomb, but Ip Mantian caught it again. Otherwise, even if Ip Mantian didn't care, Long Xiangling would definitely not have an appetite.
There was nothing wrong all night. The next day, when Ye Wentian saw that the rabbit that was thrown in and dragged out was still as lively as before he threw it in, he said to Long Xiangling: "Xiangling, the tomb chamber can be entered. Should you go in with me or stay here and wait for me."
"I want to go in with you." Long Xiangling replied without hesitation.
"...Okay, then you have to follow me closely. Don't run around, don't touch things."
"Hate, don't always treat me as a child. I'm not young anymore." Long Xiangling said dissatisfiedly.
The two of them held a torch and entered the tomb. To Ye Wentian and Long Xiangling's surprise, the air in the tomb was no different from that outside, but the moisture in the air was larger than that outside. Illuminated the torch on the walls on both sides, and Ye Wentian and Long Xiangling saw the structure of the tomb clearly.
"Is this really a tomb?" Ye Wentian and Long Xiangling said in their hearts at the same time.
The tomb is very empty. Apart from a statue of god worshipped on the front of the tomb, no anything related to the tomb is found.
"This place doesn't look like a tomb, it's very much like a church auditorium. If there are more seats, it's even more like it." Ip Man-tung looked around and said to himself.
"Brother Wentian, do you think that is a Taoist sect?" Long Xiangling pointed to a corner of the tomb chamber to remind Ye Wentian.
Ip Man-Tian looked over the sound and it seemed that there was indeed a door hidden in the dark corner of Yin. The two walked slowly over, and it was indeed a door.
"Xiangling, it's time for you to show your skills again." Ip Mantian said to Long Xiangling.
"Brother Wentian, just look at me." Long Xiangling agreed and took out a string of wooden keys of various models he made last night. Find a suitable one, and in a short while, the stone door opened.
When the two walked into the stone gate, they were immediately confused by the things in front of them. The room full of gold, silver and treasures, now there is no need to worry about their future life.
The problem of living expenses was solved. At this time, Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling were more interested in starting to explore this mausoleum. First, fill the space ring he brought with him with gold and silver treasures. Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling began to visit this strange mausoleum.
The two returned to the lobby, stood in front of the worshipped statue, and carefully looked at the statue that had a nine-point image as human. The reason why he had a nine-point image was that this statue had three eyes. In addition to the two eyes of humans, there was also an eye on the center of his forehead and eyebrows.
"Well? There seems to be a line of words here." Ip Mantian said as he reached out to wipe away the dust from the stone staff held in the statue's hand. A line of small words appeared in front of Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling.
"The statue of the magical god of fire." Ip Mantian whispered. After reading it, Ip Mantian and Long Xiangling looked at each other, their eyes full of horror. This place turned out to be the tomb of the god.
There has always been a legend in the mainland of Gengze. In the ancient times of Gengze, there were indeed one or several ancient civilizations. In that era of civilization, gods were not illusory. They really existed in reality and all had their own countries and people. However, there was no strong evidence for this statement. Except for some incomplete ancient documents that occasionally mention it, most people do not believe this statement.
But now, Ye Wentian and Long Xiangling were surprised to find that they were now in the tomb of the Fire God in ancient times, and they seemed to have taken some things from the Fire God's house without asking.
"Vulcan God? Could it be the owner of this tomb xue who made a joke to us descendants?" Ip Man-Tianqiang said calmly.
"Maybe. Maybe this is the evil taste of the master of this tomb. "Long Xiangling said with her arms tightly.
The two looked around, afraid that some messenger of the Fire God would suddenly appear in the tomb to settle the score. Fortunately, there was no danger, and after waiting for a long time, no messenger of the Fire God would appear. So Ip Mantian bravely started fighting.
"Hmph, what kind of Fire God? I'm dead anyway. I'm not afraid." Ip Man said as he walked to the statue and looked at the statue carefully.
"Xiangling, look, the mouth of this statue seems to be able to move." Ye Wentian pointed to the mouth of the statue and said to Long Xiangling.
"Really? Brother Wentian, let's go out. Anyway, we have found what we are looking for, so we don't have to worry about money anymore..." Long Xiangling said, holding Ye Wentian's hand.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me see again." Ip Mantian said, stretching out his finger and hooking the chin of the statue that looked movable.
Chapter completed!
