Chapter 215 Tomb(1/2)
(I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.)
Hu Guiyang covered his neck and rubbed it gently. It seemed that he had a piece of dirty thing in his throat. He couldn't vomit or swallow it. He said hoarsely: "I really didn't expect it."
"I didn't expect my magic trick to be so powerful?" Gu Zhongxian asked with a smile.
"I didn't expect that the person who saved my life would be you, and Wen Buhua. Didn't he... have he entered the Dan Cave?"
"Yes, Tianji Wan was taken away by Xiaocao Girl, and someone sent a new one. Wen Buhua suffered a little bit of minor injuries, not serious."
"So he parted ways with He Sanjie'er and defected to you?"
"Divorce to go? On the contrary, we are the same destination."
Hu Guiyang became more and more confused as he listened. He changed his other hand to rub his neck, "Who are the ones who have returned to the same place?"
"Come with me."
The immortal in the valley led the way and walked deeper into the wilderness. There was no way under his feet. His figure was blocked by wild grass in a flash. Hu Guiyang followed closely behind and couldn't help asking, "Why save me?"
“Because you are too important.”
"I?"
"You will understand later."
As the terrain gradually rose, Hu Guiyang suddenly realized, "Is this the grave of the Hunman?"
"Yes." The immortal in the valley looked up, "This grave may change everything."
"The old Taoist Fan Dajian discovered it, is he okay?"
“It’s very good.”
The two of them climbed halfway through and found a black hole. The hole was not big and hidden in the grass. Those who were unaware of the situation could easily fall into it.
Fan Dajian originally wanted to mark the top of the grave, but when he got here, he accidentally fell in.
"Be careful." said the fairy in Guzhong.
"Why are you careful?" Hu Guiyang had obviously stopped, so he didn't understand what the purpose of this reminder was.
Gu Zhongxian didn't explain, and reached out to grab one of Hu Guiyang's arm and jumped straight into the hole. The entrance of the hole could barely allow the two to fall. Hu Guiyang only felt that his eyes went dark, and then his feet fell to the ground. The big tomb looked quite tall from the outside, but not very deep inside.
There was a little light ahead, vaguely illuminating many people.
Still led the way by the immortal in the valley, the two walked slowly over.
The first person Hu Guiyang recognized was He Sanjie'er. She turned her head and smiled at him, then turned around and continued to stare at the ground in front of her, as if she had expected him to come.
Everyone was observing the ground. Hu Guiyang looked at the people first. There were thirteen of them, including He's brothers, Gu Zhongxian, Wen Buhua, Fan Dajian, five dwarfs carrying people, and three Wen's family members with wide robes and big sleeves.
Each person held a piece of candle in his hand and formed an oval.
Hu Guiyang followed everyone's eyes and saw an oval iron plate on the ground, with objects of different shapes embedded on it, probably what Fan Dajian called a gadget before.
Hu Guiyang didn't recognize any of them, and could not even guess the purpose. Fan Dajian, diagonally opposite, nodded to him, and Hu Guiyang walked around, but no one stopped him.
Fan Dajian led Hu Guiyang away. The originally small light was now only a small piece, and even the ground under his feet could not be seen.
"This is a stone tablet." Fan Dajian said.
Fan Dajian stretched out his hand to touch two stone tablets that were more than half a person tall, "I found the iron piece here. At that time, I had not noticed the uniqueness of the stone tablets."
Hu Guiyang leaned closer and looked at the dense words on it, and could recognize most of them, "There are too many words, don't they look like to bendstones?"
"I only realized after listening to the explanations of those dwarfs. The mortals are not ordinary races. Why do we need to erect monuments after death? Why do we use mortal words?"
"Hey, they don't even look down on mortal words."
"Haha, you are like me, and you say you don't believe in ghosts and gods, but you still regard the selves as gods. They are not gods, but a group of guests who come here from a very distant place. Their language should not be understandable."
"They learned from later generations, and these two people who were lucky enough to die immediately."
"The problem is here. These five dwarfs don't remember this. The patterns on the iron sheet are their words."
"The text? It's so concise, what is it written?"
"They don't know each other."
“Huh?”
"I didn't mean to keep it a secret. After listening to me, it's like our words. You don't recognize every one of them, right?"
"The iron piece is full of introverted words. Wen Kongshou and others are ignorant, so they don't recognize them?"
"It's almost the same. They believe that the iron sheet records the name, appearance, origin and cause of death of the deceased."
"A total of more than a dozen strokes of patterns can you say so much?"
"What they said." Fan Dajian looked back and saw that the group of people were still standing there.
Hu Guiyang circled a stone tablet and reached out to touch it. He felt that it was no different from an ordinary stone tablet, but it was often underground, and his tentacles were quite cool.
Hu Guiyang supported himself with one hand and sat on it.
Fan Dajian was surprised and whispered: "Isn't this good?"
"This is a memorial, not a tombstone. It doesn't matter if I sit there, but I'm exhausted."
Fan Dajian then realized, "Are you okay? I heard that the West Factory is going to kill you, isn't it true?"
Hu Guiyang smiled bitterly and said, "My neck says this is true."
Fan Dajian moved closer to the candle and saw the clear red mark on his neck, and became more surprised, "Wang Zhi... You made such a great contribution, but he actually..."
"Hey, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm too lazy. I'll have to come to visit the tomb with you before, so there will be no problem."
Fan Dajian also jumped onto the stone tablet and sat down, "You stayed in the city because you hope that the superiors can change their minds and let you destroy the ship."
"Haha, you really know me. Actually, I slept for a while and then I slept for a while. The boss changed his mind, not destroying the boat, but destroying me."
Fan Dajian asked about his injuries with concern, and took out some pills for Hu Guiyang to take, "Your injury is not serious, you can recover after a few days of raising it."
Hu Guiyang nodded, "You've been here all the time?"
"Apart from eating and sleeping, we are basically here."
"What did you see?"
"Nothing was seen. They were trying to open the iron plate and said there was something underneath, maybe it was a skeleton."
“Is it difficult?”
"Well, there is no gap in the iron plate, so I can't start."
Hu Guiyang looked at the other end, "Things that the dwarf can't understand, what are the others looking at?"
The old Taoist also looked over there, and then realized it in a second thought, and said with a smile: "Why are the immortals of Gu Zhonghua and Wen Buhua who went to save you, not another person?"
Hu Guiyang smiled, "I just wonder why someone would save me."
Fan Dajian put away his smile, "He Sanchen exchanged it for himself."
"Hmm?" Hu Guiyang was shocked.
"The dwarf had a guess and thought that the iron plate could only be lifted up with powerful skills, but they were not good enough, so they found a few more people, Gu Zhongxian and the others, but they still couldn't do it, so they went to ask the He brothers and sisters again. He Sanchen said she could help, but asked the dwarf to rescue you. Gu Zhongxian and Wen Buhua were ordered to act."
"Why didn't she go?"
"Then I don't know, she didn't explain."
Hu Guiyang looked at He Sanjie'er. Among the tall and short standing people, her figure was easier to recognize. She stood there all the time, except for the initial smile, and she never looked back.
"The immortal in the valley said I am very important."
"Yes, without you, He Sanchen refused to exert force. Look, they are about to start."
Hu Guiyang was about to go over to watch, but Fan Dajian reached out to stop him, "Forget it, there are all experts over there, let's sit here, don't join in the fun."
Hu Guiyang didn't move, "Which side Wen Buhua belongs to now?"
"Of course it's the Wen family. You heard that He Sanchen deceived him so badly, but he couldn't beat him, so he had to go back to the Wen family."
The candles there went out at the same time. After a while, a faint red light appeared on the iron plate, which was very similar to the Dan Point.
Fan Dajian jumped to the ground, "He Sanchen's skills are indeed extraordinary. Those dwarfs have used all their strength before, and Iron Plate has never been like this."
"Don't there be many Wen's family members? Why are there only these people?"
"It is said that everyone else is waiting to ascend and is unwilling to come."
The red light over there became clearer and higher, much brighter than the candles before, and the entire tomb was illuminated red.
Hu Guiyang also jumped to the ground and glanced quickly. The tomb was far less huge than the outside. The iron plate was in the middle, and the two stone tablets were close to the edge. There was nothing else except that. The ground was flat and I don’t know what it was paved with. When I looked up, I found many small spots of light.
"I heard that this is the starry sky map of the Zou Yunren." Fan Dajian whispered, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. "The hole I fell into was the entrance. It has been decades and has been disrepaired for so long. It's just broken. If you want to say that Zou Yunren's tomb construction is not as good as that of us mortals, let alone the tombs of the emperor..."
The red light emitted from the iron plate quickly subsided, and soon the entire tomb fell into darkness, leaving only the candle in Fan Dajian's hand.
Hu Guiyang remembered the general direction and walked over, Fan Dajian followed behind him, "I guess he didn't succeed."
It was indeed unsuccessful, and the iron plate did not change at all.
Everyone lit the candle again, and Wen Kongshou said, "We are right. We should raise the coffin lid like a ship to treat the heavenly secrets. Unfortunately, we have too few people and our skills are still a little short."
