Chapter 129 Stone House in the Tomb
There is only one name on the tombstone, so simple that it doesn't even have the date of birth and death.
Chen Xian quickly turned his eyes to the mural on the side. It seemed to be the life of the tomb owner, a prince of a kingdom, studying under a master, getting married and starting a business...
The first two paintings are all ordinary life scenes, but the style of the last two paintings suddenly changes.
In the picture, the sky is collapsing and the earth is breaking apart, with corpses everywhere. The person who created this mural must be a master of calligraphy.
With just a few simple lines, the battle between elves, orcs, and humans is depicted vividly, as if the grand war is happening right before your eyes.
Chen Tang rode on a giant tiger, and the long sword in his hand emitted a thousand-foot-long light, tearing the earth in half.
Next came a picture of the five bases of the Five Elements Soul Sealing Array being activated. The picture ended up disappearing, not because it was not finished, but because the jade disk was cut by a sharp blade.
Although the cutting edge is very smooth, making people think that the mural is only this long, if you look closely, you will find that the lines of the painting are very neatly extended to the cut.
The cross-section of the jade has a warm color and is probably one or two thousand years old.
"Who would come and destroy the jade disk within hundreds of years after Emperor Wu of Tang died?"
Recalling the story of Emperor Wu of Tang told in Shuiyue's version, Chen Xian looked at the cut part of the jade disk in shock.
"If the mural Shuiyue saw is the second half of this place, then everything is right. Emperor Tang Wu used the Five Elements Sealing Spirit Formation to seal the three tribes' strong men, and then died of exhaustion."
"However, if the broken jade was stolen, how could it be found somewhere else in the ancient ruins?"
Chen Xian looked carefully in the mural again, except for the tiger ridden by Emperor Wu of Tang.
He was tall and flew in the air with his master, roaring domineeringly at the masters of the three tribes opposite, with flames in his eyes.
"This tiger is somewhat similar to the demon tiger that Liu Yan wanted to catch before."
Baozi, who was standing by, sniffed the ground and found that it was made of a very hard mineral.
This kind of ore is an excellent material for making weapons in the outside world and is called the Seal Guarding Ore.
The texture is so hard that even saints are said to be unable to leave marks on it. It is the material that even god-level powerful beings dream of.
But the ground in front of the tomb is all this ore, smooth and seamless. This area of dozens of square meters seems as if it was cut from a whole piece of this ore.
However, on this seal-guarding stone where even saints could not leave their mark, there was a clear claw mark where Baozi was sniffing, like the scratches of a wild beast.
"What kind of monster left this behind?"
Chen Xian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Emperor Wu of Tang who was riding on a giant tiger on the jade disk.
Baozi walked around the surroundings and then went straight to the tombstone. He stretched out his cat paws and tapped a few places on the inky black tombstone that was emitting black light. The black light on the tombstone became brighter.
The name inlaid on the spirit stone above disappeared in the black light, and the entire tombstone became like a screen emitting black light.
Baozi stretched out his claws to touch the tombstone again, and his claws actually went in.
It just walked straight into the tombstone emitting black light.
Chen Xian hurriedly followed.
"It's not the same as the bronze door. This is not an illusion. Forget it. There's no point in entering here to seek truth or falsehood."
"Follow your heart, Baozi. I'm counting on you."
Chen Xian also followed him in. The light was bright inside, and there were stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds. The surroundings were also made of stone, just like a stone house.
After Baozi came in, he jumped onto the stone bed, lay on it with a comfortable look on his face, and actually fell asleep like that.
Chen Xian did not bother them, as Baozi's behavior along the way was too strange, as marked on the map and according to Shuiyue and the leader of the Langya Adventure Group, Lang Ao.
This ancient ruins should be full of dangers.
Shuiyue had a whole team of fifth-level water elves, but she was the only one who finally walked out, and she was seriously injured.
Although Lang Ao did not say how many casualties there were, it is only because his loving wife was seriously injured and paralyzed that the adventure team was able to escape successfully. One can imagine how tragic the real situation was.
But while following Baozi all the way, not to mention the danger, Chen Xian hadn't even seen a high-level magical beast.
It was as relaxing as strolling in his own backyard, so Chen Xian didn't disturb Baozi and just followed Baozi's steps quietly.
It was not until he entered the stone house that Chen Xian became more certain that Baozi must have been here before, or that this was where it lived.
The furnishings in this stone house are neatly arranged. There is a pavilion on the stone wall with a piece of jade placed on it.
"It seems that the person who came to this space more than a thousand years ago did not discover this secret room."
Chen Xian looked at Baozi, who was lying on the stone bed with his arms and legs spread out, sleeping soundly.
Although Baozi used to be greedy and sleepy, he especially liked to lie on the soft surface of Lan'er's chest and fall asleep peacefully with a comfortable look on his face.
But this was the first time that Chen Xian saw Baozi lying on his back with his belly exposed.
Cats are cautious by nature and will only expose their bellies when they are absolutely safe and trustworthy or when they are next to people.
"Baozi, what is your relationship with Emperor Tang Wu?"
Chen Xian did not wake up Baozi, but quietly took out the jade disk from the stone wall pavilion. Suddenly, his fingers began to tremble.
"It's actually a jade slip, the carrier of the cultivation method passed down by the Blue Star cultivation world."
