642. Go mad
The group drilled out of the red circle one after another, only to find that this is another underground cave, but this cave is much more standardized and orderly, and the surrounding buildings are not like the original stone walls, it looks a bit like a fortress made of marble, and a bit like an underground palace in ancient times.
They didn't have to go through the crooked roads, the roads they walked were basically very smooth, and it was obvious that the place was repaired, and the frescoes and candlesticks on the walls they passed along the way were very ornately constructed.
Zhou Rui is very familiar with this kind of architecture, he has seen it in ancient Luzhou and Haizhou.
A thought arose in his mind, could it be that this was the underground tomb left by the ancients?
The ancients always attached great importance to the place of burial after death, and judging from the magnificently carved here, if this is a tomb, the owner of the tomb must be a big man.
In order not to let Yuan Zai find out that the big hole on his body had been secretly loosened by himself, Zhou Rui pretended to be soft and held on to other people's shoulders and followed behind Yuan Zai, while deliberately clinging to words: "I said brother and brother, I am very familiar with this place, and even Aqiu's descending technique is so easy to use, it can't be that we are a group and deliberately act in front of me, right?"
Yuan Zai no longer concealed it: "I am the descendant of the heir of the lord of Haizhou, and Aqiu is the descendant of the lord of Yingzhou, what do we know about here?"
Zhou Rui was a little shocked, it was not so simple for Yuanzai and Aqiu, the descendants of the two ancient state lords, to appear on the island at the same time.
He had thought that they had come here when they heard the news that there was a treasure hidden on the island, but it was more than that, judging by the performance of Wonjae and Aqiu.
One is a well-known mercenary leader who is even deeper than Hei Yan, the other is a local indigenous chief, and the two unrelated identities are both descendants of the ancient state lord, no wonder they are so familiar with the descending formation.
It's just that they are already familiar with him Zhou Rui in the ancient books, so they won't be able to catch up after Zhou Rui appears on the island.
Zhou Rui sacrificed himself to save Kyushu back then, and such heroic deeds were naturally recorded in the history books. And Zhou Rui's identity as a future person was confided in by the daughter of the daughter of the governor of Luzhou after being drunk, which added a legend to the character of Zhou Rui.
Yuan Jae and Ah Qiu couldn't believe that Zhou Rui was from the modern era recorded in the book, but when they heard that a young man who could use golden light appeared in the sea, and his name happened to be called "Zhou Rui", they immediately believed the record in the ancient book.
After Zhou Rui returned from the ancient era, he didn't know much about the situation behind Kyushu. However, he guessed that after a bloody catastrophe, these orthodox spiritual cultivators would definitely not dare to regard themselves as righteous people anymore, and look down on others to cultivate the art of descending. Even in order to prevent the descending technique from harming Kyushu again, they will specialize in descending the technique to find a way to crack it, so it makes sense why Aqiu and Yuanzai are so proficient in using the descending technique.
However, there is another point that the two of them do not have much spiritual aura on their bodies, and it seems that in order to cultivate the descenting technique, they have neglected the training of orthodox spiritual cultivation.
In comparison, the exercise of orthodox spiritual cultivation is much more difficult than the cultivation of the technique of the side-of-the-road, because some people who are not as qualified as others in spiritual cultivation and have poor talent will often find another way to practice the cultivation of the technique to overpower their peers.
"Since you already know this place, why do you have to help you find the treasure, you can just find it yourself, why bother me more. Zhou Rui was very puzzled.
Yuan Jae smiled weirdly again: "Trouble? How can it be troublesome? No, the treasure really can't be found." ”
Zhou Rui didn't know that this treasure was hidden in the burial chamber of several state lords of Kyushu. In order to keep the ancestors from being disturbed, the treasures hidden in the tomb are not coveted by thieves, and the tomb is set up by the most respected feng shui master in Kyushu, and the children of non-Kyushu heirs are not allowed to enter.
Even the children of Kyushu have to go through the mechanism in the formation before they can enter.
Yuan Zai and Aqiu were helpless against the golden scorpion and crocodile spirit beast inside every time they entered, and they could deal with the golden scorpion and crocodile spirit beast that bit and eat human flesh, so Zhou Rui, a person who was proficient in the golden light spirit method, was naturally the best candidate.
The other is that Zhou Rui has already seen the treasure once, but he does not need to go through the mechanism of the golden scorpion, which means that the treasure in the tomb recognizes Zhou Rui.
With Zhou Rui by his side, it is the safest.
Yuan Zai suddenly looked at Zhou Rui vigilantly: "Brother Zhou, it seems that the cartilage talisman has little effect, and it looks quite energetic." ”
Zhou Rui immediately pretended to hold down his chest and hunched his waist, saying that he was uncomfortable and uncomfortable, he acted realistically and successfully diverted Yuan Zai's attention.
Mainly, Wonjae was attracted by Aqiu's shouts in front.
In the main hall of the palace, Aqiu waved around like crazy with a broken wooden stick.
"Don't bite me, don't bite me!" Aqiu's face was full of horror, as if he had seen some terrible monster.
Wonjae paused and didn't step forward again.
The others who had been taught once did not dare to step forward again, and looked around vigilantly.
The vases and porcelain placed here look much more precious than the treasures in the original "treasure", but no one dares to touch them again.
Everyone just watched as Aqiu was hysterical in the middle of the hall, holding a stick and beating it repeatedly.
Zhou Rui took a look, there was nothing special around, it was all antique decorations. In addition to furnishing some utensils, there is no extra decoration in the whole hall, and there is not even a sandalwood stool that can sit down, which makes the hall a little empty.
Zhou Rui raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Zai: "I am most familiar with the structure of the treasure with this Aqiu, so tell me where this is?
Wonjae must be more familiar with the mechanisms here than he is.
Yuan Zai was silent for a while before he spoke: "This is the front hall of the tomb, and the treasure is under the tomb. ”
"What, we walked so far to get to the front hall?" Zhou Rui seemed impatient, "Is that why there is a mechanism here, so this Aqiu will become like this?"
At this time, Aqiu was red-eyed, and he turned his hand to whip himself, pulling out bright red marks.
"I'll kill this monster!" "I'll kill this monster!" Aqiu didn't know the pain, and every stick fell on him very hard, and he beat himself to the point that his skin was torn apart.
If he continues to fight like this, sooner or later he will have to kill himself.
Zhou Rui couldn't see it, raised his steps and walked over.
"What are you doing?" Wonjae shouted.
Zhou Rui looked relaxed: "I didn't do anything, just to see if he was stunned or pretended." He walked very slowly, and seemed to have the after-effects of cartilage, and every step was very difficult.
As soon as Zhou Rui approached, Aqiu immediately stopped whipping himself and bowed to Zhou Rui.
"Lord Governor, it's my fault, it's me who shouldn't have broken into here by mistake, there are a lot of strange things to blame. As he spoke, he kowtowed, and was knocked on the ground by Aqiu, leaving a blood mark.
Zhou Rui silently pressed on Aqiu's shoulder and stopped his movements. At this time, Aqiu finally came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Rui dumbfounded: "Why am I here?"
"Who knows, just now he bowed down to our boss. Bai Xiaoxi kindly reminded him.
Aqiu, who kowtowed so much that his forehead was full of blood, was stunned, and he trembled and steadied himself and got up from the ground. He stood up to support himself with the stick in his hand, but when he realized that he was holding such a stick in his hand, he immediately threw it out in fright.
Everyone glanced at the stick, but they didn't see anything special.
Yuan Zai pursed his lips, stared at Aqiu and said, "So many of us are about to enter the tomb in a while, do you want to tell us what you just went through?"
Aqiu's forehead and face were full of blood, and he looked embarrassed, but he said stiffly: "It's just that the subjugation technique I practiced went crazy for a while." ”
"Gone mad?" Wonjae didn't quite believe it.
"yes, don't go in if you don't believe me. Anyway, the heir of the Lord of Kyushu will never fall into his hands. Aqiu pouted disdainfully at Wonjae.
Zhou Rui heard some eyebrows.
Could it be that they didn't come for the treasure, but for the heir of the Lord of Kyushu? After the bloody rebellion in Kyushu, it turned out to be merged?
Zhou Rui's various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Obviously, Yuan Zai didn't take Aqiu's opponent in his eyes, and after listening to his teasing, his expression was just faint.
Wonjae continued to walk towards the other entrance of the main hall in front, the gate of the entrance was a golden metal gate, and if you looked closely, you could see that this door was made of pure gold, and it was unusually magnificent.
At the front of the golden gate is an incense burner, on which is pasted a portrait of an ancient person, depicting nine different kinds of beasts. Zhou Rui can see that this is the meaning of the combination of Kyushu.
There were also three burning incense sticks on the incense burner, and lingering smoke wafted out of the lit incense sticks in circles.
Zhou Rui was amazed in his heart while looking at it, this incense is not an ordinary incense at first glance, if it has been placed here since the construction of the tomb, it will be at least more than 10,000 years, but this incense has not burned out.
Looking at the words on the table again, Zhou Rui frowned.
This is a very esoteric way of writing ancient Chinese, and he can't understand it for a while.
"Those who can draw this sword are respected as the leaders of the Kyushu Alliance. Wonjae read it excitedly.
Zhou Rui followed Yuan Zai's gaze and saw a heavy long sword inserted in a copper-colored scabbard, the pattern on the scabbard was very delicately carved, and the handle of the long sword was simple silver.
As soon as they approached, they immediately felt that this long sword was cold, and at a glance, they knew that this sword was definitely a sword with aura.
Yuan Zai held back his excitement and grabbed the hilt of the sword in front of Zhou Rui and pulled it up.
With a "poof", a cold light flashed, and Yuan Zai just held the long sword in his hand, and couldn't suppress his excitement: "I'm pulling it up! I'm the true heir of the Lord of Kyushu!"
Seeing this, the corners of Aqiu's mouth rose slightly as if he were watching a good show.
