Chapter 31: The General's Tomb
The Great Master and Ling Junfeng led a group of troops to escort Luo Xiu and them to the top of a big mountain.
The scenery here is pleasant, but it is unusually desolate, because this is the location of the mausoleum of the founding general of the Yinqin Empire, usually it is very deserted here, and there are not many people who come to worship, only when the worship ceremony, the young emperor will lead the ministers to come here to worship.
However, the people who have recently come to worship the tomb of the great general on this mountain have heard some strange noises coming from inside the tomb, which has made people's hearts panic for a while, and the people of the city no longer dare to come up the mountain.
Originally, the young emperor wanted to send someone to clean the general's tomb two days ago, but since the prime minister asked Luo Xiu to come at this time, it was just right.
There is a very large tomb bag on the top of the mountain, the tomb bag is very large, the height alone is tens of meters high, and the diameter is estimated to be nearly 100 meters, the tomb bag is made of bluestone bricks, from the top of the mountain, it looks like a huge green turtle lying on the top of the mountain.
In front of the tomb, there is a stone stele, after so many years of wind and sun, the handwriting carved on the stele has long been weathered, but everyone still vaguely recognizes the handwriting engraved on it, which is engraved with the tomb of the general of Zhenguo.
"This is it, go in and take care of yourself. Ling Junfeng said to Luo Xiu.
"Don't worry, this is the tomb of the general, only the general has some burial goods in the tomb, it is estimated that the strange screams that everyone is talking about are just some bugs and other cries in the tomb. Li Yuanan also said.
"Go ahead, come out early, we'll be waiting for you here. After Ling Junfeng patted Luo Xiu on the shoulder, Luo Xiu and the others walked towards a hole next to the general's tomb, which was dug by the soldiers recently, and after going down, it was the bottom of the general's tomb.
Luo Xiu and the others walked towards the hole, looking down from above, the bottom was bottomless, it was dark, Luo Xiu took the lead and jumped down first, Lu Jiaying and the others swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and they also gritted their teeth and jumped down, Liu Wansu was about to jump down, when he suddenly saw the great master turn around and was about to leave.
"Go down. Seeing that Liu Wansu didn't go down, the soldiers on the side hurriedly urged.
"Okay. Liu Wansu smiled and jumped down.
"Where are you going?" Ling Junfeng looked ahead and said to the Great Master with a smile.
"It's convenient to go, isn't it?" The Great Master left this sentence and walked into the woods next to him.
"There's a good chance this guy is going to make some small moves. Li Yuanan looked at the great teacher worriedly.
"It's okay, I believe in them, except for him himself, I believe that there is no difficulty that can stump that Luo Xiu. Ling Junfeng said confidently.
"This is for you, you will be able to do things quickly, you can't be discovered by them, the most important thing is to take the life of that summoner, and you can ignore everything else. When the great master came to the woods, he was sure that no one was following him, so he clapped his hands.
A man in black casual clothes jumped down from the big tree on the side, and the great master took out a box and handed it to him, and then commanded, after the man in black took the things, he ran to the back.
Luo Xiu slid all the way down the cave wall, and after sliding to the bottom, he suddenly saw four tall black shadow giants in front of him, and he was so frightened that he immediately pulled out his sword and prepared to fight.
The bottom of the cave was very dark, but it was not completely invisible, and there were many lights in the tomb, barely illuminating the place.
"Get out of the way!" Lu Jiaying screamed in the back.
"Ahh
"What are you doing... No, be careful. Luo Xiu hurriedly got up and looked at the four giants with his sword on his back.
After entering, Luo Xiu found that these four were not giants, but four stone statues, the height of the stone statues was estimated to be 3,4 meters, and the four of them surrounded each other, occupying four directions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, they were facing outward, but in the middle of them, there seemed to be something placed.
And at this moment, Chen Lianna and Liu Wansu also came down together, they descended perfectly, and they were not like Lu Jiaying, in fact, the main reason was that Luo Xiu did not move in place after he came down, and Chen Lianna walked towards the front after coming down, so that she was not hit by Liu Wansu.
"It hurts, what is this?" Lu Jiaying touched her head, and then saw four stone statues.
"I don't know. Luo Xiu took out a lamp from his backpack, lit it, and walked towards the four stone statues.
Luo Xiu lit the lamp and walked forward, and saw something surrounded by four stone statues, this thing is also a stone statue, from the appearance, it looks like the shape of a big dog, but this dog is very fierce, take the light and make a move, and find that it is looking at everyone with cracked teeth.
"What a terrible dog. Lu Jiaying said after coming over.
"This isn't a dog, it's a legendary monster here, the Hellhound, and it's rumored to be the watchdog of Hell. Liu Wansu and Chen Lianna also came over, Liu Wansu was born and raised here, so he naturally recognized these things.
"This stone statue was also placed here to warn those who robbed the tomb that hell was inside. Liu Wansu continued.
"It's hell inside, but aren't there the bones of the great general inside?" asked Chen Lianna curiously.
"There are a lot of priceless funerary goods in the general's tomb, which will definitely attract some tomb robbers, but naturally, there are many mechanisms in the general's tomb, enough for people to die hundreds of times. Liu Wansu touched the four stone giants and continued.
And these four people are the statues of the four most powerful subordinates of the general during his lifetime. After Liu Wansu said this, everyone also understood, no wonder three of these people were wearing armor and holding spears, and one was holding a book in his hand.
"Looks like you're going to have to lead the way this time. Lu Jiaying said to Liu Wansu.
"I'm sorry, you're looking for the wrong person, I've never been here once, and I don't know what's inside. Liu Wansu spread his hands and said.
"What, don't you know everything about this place, and you're talking about the Tao?"
"What, these legends have been known to our children here since they were young, and the Great General's Tomb is equivalent to a national treasure-level existence for this Silver Qin Empire. Liu Wansu shrugged his shoulders, and then walked to the front, this is a stone wall, and there are two bright lights installed at the left and right ends of the stone wall.
"This is called the Everlasting Lamp, and it is said that the fuel stored behind this lamp can be used to burn these wicks for thousands of years, and this thing is everywhere in the twilight cave. After Liu Wansu finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the everlasting lamp.
"Come, this lamp for you. Liu Wansu walked over and handed the lamp to Lu Jiaying.
"I don't want it, this thing is so unlucky. Lu Jiaying looked at the things in the dead man's tomb and said disgustedly.
"When are you still unlucky, oh, here you go. Liu Wansu handed the lamp to Chen Lianna, and Chen Lianna naturally took the lamp.
"Okay, let's go, but before we go, I want to tell you one thing, that is, that great master, there is a good chance that there will be small movements, and we need to be more careful. Liu Wansu said in a low voice.
"Does he want to kill us so much?" Lu Jiaying couldn't understand how everyone offended him, it stands to reason that Luo Xiu had only fought with him for a while, so he wouldn't be so vindictive and kill them all.
"I think the most important reason is still in you, although I don't know who you are and which summoner sect you come from, there are too many mysteries about you, and I don't want to know about them. But please remember not to show your abilities in front of others. Liu Wansu suddenly looked at Luo Xiu seriously and said.
"My identity was clear from the beginning, I came from the Sealer family, I am a sealer, not a summoner. Luo Xiu also looked at Liu Wansu, and the two confronted each other quietly.
"He's really a sealer, and he'll seal monsters. Lu Jiaying saw that the two looked like they were going to fight, and hurriedly said.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, anyway, everyone be careful, we're going to officially enter the general's tomb. After Liu Wansu finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked towards the tomb door in front of him.
