Chapter Thirty-Three: The Strange Tomb Keeper

The stone platform made a rumbling sound, it should be driven by a gear movement device underneath, Su Xie was in the dark at the moment, the only bright light above his head was extinguished in an instant, and there seemed to be a secret door on it, but it was closed, but I don't know if there is any other way to go.

If Su Xie died directly here, it is estimated that the three people above would not be able to find him.

When the stone platform approached the ground, Su Xie vaguely saw a dark yellow halo flickering underneath, and after stopping, he walked down the stairs step by step, and what caught his eye was the long tomb road, and those lights came from the everlasting lamps placed in the recesses of the walls, and it was said that the everlasting lamps would not be extinguished for hundreds of years in the tomb.

Su Xie thought it was just a legend at first, but now it seems to be true, but he doesn't know the principle of this.

Walking down the tomb road, Su Xie could clearly feel that the yin and evil qi was gradually increasing, but he was a virgin, and he was a talented person recognized by Director Han Yi, and the Qi of Longyang was very sufficient, coupled with the spirit talisman given by Director Han Yi, it was not affected.

The whole process of the tomb was extremely quiet, and the gurgling sound that Su Xie would make under his feet without stepping on a step was surprisingly quiet, which made people feel weird.

At the end of the tomb is a burial chamber, not big, there are neat clothes and cabinets around, a few elixirs for cultivation are scattered on the ground, and there is an alchemy furnace in the middle, next to the alchemy furnace is a mat that has turned yellow and old, facing the mouth of adding firewood to the fire.

Su Xie slowly squatted down, touched the mat with his hand, and there was still some breath of a living person, his face changed, and he pulled out a burnt black wooden stick, with green smoke emitting from it, indicating that the owner of this tomb left not long ago, and there may be other places in this tomb!

Su Xie's scalp was numb for a while, could it be that this place is the home of the mausoleum keeper?

He had heard others say that some of the burial places were inhabited by mausoleum keepers, who specialized in guarding the burial grounds, but if this was really the mausoleum keeper's home, his current actions would be completely exposed, as long as that person came back immediately, he would definitely be able to sense that an outsider had entered, and now the way in has been blocked, and he can't escape if he wants to.

And it is rumored that this mausoleum keeper is extremely terrifying, they have lived in the tomb for most of their lives, eating and living with the dead all day long, and if there is no corpse qi in their bodies, they will not survive.

Therefore, the mausoleum keeper has a special hobby is to eat dead human flesh, even if you are a living person, as long as you break into this tomb, the mausoleum keeper will first beat you to death and then eat your dead meat, their cultivation is also not low, can help the tomb owner to guard the tomb, where will the cultivation be?

Thinking of this, Su Xie broke down in a cold sweat.

He threw away the firewood stick in his hand, stabilized his mood and stood up, the more dangerous the situation, the more calm he had to be, this was what Su Nan told him.

Speaking of which, Su Nan is really his life mentor, he can act as Su Xie's mental counselor at any time, if he doesn't marry such a good girl as Su Nan when he grows up, Su Xie feels that he has lived in vain for so many years.

But it still depends on whether his father agrees, after all, he and Su Nan are just sisters and brothers, although they are not related by blood, but the family is indeed such a generation, and this kind of relationship is still too forbidden.

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw something, and then walked to the counter next to him, there was a pot of tea on it, and it was still warm when he touched it, but this was not the most important thing, what attracted Su Xie's attention was the word "Nanyuan" engraved on it.

Nanyuan Tianxiong said that the retreat place where he was located was near the Hantian Cave, but can this be called a neighborhood? This is obviously already in the tomb, okay, I have been worried for a long time, it turns out that this is just Nanyuan Tianxiong's retreat, thinking about it like this, Su Xie is relieved.

But this Nanyuan Tian's ambition is also quite big, and cultivating in such a place of Zhiyang Shou is also an admired five-body throw.

If you guessed correctly, the Soul Breaker should be the spirit talisman that Nanyuan Tianxiong found when he first came here.

"Luckily, there's no one living here anymore. Su Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

When he thought about continuing to look for it, he suddenly saw a tall figure reflected in the candlelight on the counter, and the figure slowly approached him, Su Xie couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and his nerves tensed instantly.

The moment he turned around, the tall figure spoke, his voice low and hoarse.

"Where did you come from, when this place was empty, did you?" a hairy creature stared at him with bright eyes.

Su Xie hurriedly stepped to the side and distanced himself from the furry guy.

"You...... What are you, this place is not your place at all!" Su Xie asked sharply, and only then did he take a clear look at the tall guy.

It is nearly two meters tall, with thick hair, a sunken nose, and thick lips, much like some kind of animal, said to be a monkey...... It doesn't look like it, but it looks like an ape.

"What is it?" the ape-man frowned, pointed at Su Xie with his slender finger, and said, "First of all, tell you, this place is my residence, and secondly, don't call me something, I am the mausoleum keeper here, how did your parents educate you? ”

This furry creature turned out to be the legendary terrible mausoleum keeper, but isn't this the retreat place of Nanyuan Tianxiong? Su Xie couldn't figure it out for a while, and what he should be most worried about now was whether this mausoleum keeper was hostile to him, and whether he would eat him like a dead corpse.

"But here, there was obviously a person living there before, you said you were a mausoleum keeper......" Su Xie looked at it with a suspicious expression, "It doesn't look like it." ”

"You mean him?" the ape-man was stunned. That guy does live with me, but he came to me naturally with conditions, I saw him inadvertently break into the cemetery and steal my soul breaking talisman before, I found out at the time but didn't force him to come back, because I thought of a good way, because I am a mausoleum keeper, it is difficult to go out in this kind of place, and I need corpse qi to nourish my body, so I asked him to bring a dead corpse from outside every day, and the soul breaking talisman was given to him as a return, and the place here is for him to practice, after all, I also need someone to accompany me, and I have always been alone for so long, so naturally a little boring。 ”

This ape-man lives alone in this kind of place, guarding the mausoleum forever, worthy of being the mausoleum keeper, although this guy looks a little surprised, but the owner of this tomb has a very good eye for people, and the ape-man is very loyal.

"Also, do I still need to be suspicious as a mausoleum keeper?" it continued, "Boy, people can't be disguised, as far as your current apocalyptic double cultivation is concerned, I will casually drive your fingers and you will lie on the ground.

After listening to the ape-man's words, Su Xie was shocked in his heart, his own cultivation was so easy to be seen by the other party, he remembered that he used his breath to hide his cultivation before, and it was difficult for people with cultivation lower than him to see, this ape-man was not quite like a joke, it had such a keen eyesight, and its strength was naturally not low.

"That Soul Breaking Talisman was created by a tenth-level spiritual magician, how could it be that one of you has it as a mausoleum keeper. Su Xie asked.

"When you first activated the altar, I sensed that you were coming, and I was still sleeping at that time, who knew that you would come here so soon, it seems that my days of sleeping in this cemetery have finally come to an end!" said the ape-man with a relaxed and indifferent expression.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Alas, I'm ashamed to say it, that soul breaking talisman was entrusted to you by my master for my safekeeping, you are the heir of the master's old man's destiny, but at that time, I was covered in corpse qi and had to use the soul breaking talisman to exchange the corpse with that guy, after all, I still have to live. The ape-man sighed.

"So you knew I was here early in the morning, but I have to tell you the bad news, the guy who brought you the body is dead. Su Xie said, looking at its expression.

"Oh, yes? It doesn't matter, if you're dead, you're dead, and I don't think much of him, but after so many years of waiting, your arrival can finally liberate me, and the master calculated before he died that a peerless genius would take his mantle in a few hundred years, and if you count, no more, no less, just five hundred years later, since the altar has approved you, you can come with me, and go and see the tomb owner. The ape-man was expressionless, not caring at all about Nanyuan Tianxiong's life or death, it walked to a wall, and shot a streamer of light from its fingers, and the hidden stone door on the wall slowly opened, and a layer of something similar to a formation or enchantment appeared in front of it, which should be a barrier separating this room from the main burial chamber.

Su Xie was overjoyed in his heart, so he followed the ape-man in, this is really God help me, he really came to the right place today, but he just said that he wanted to see the tomb owner, is this ape-man going to take himself to a ghost?

"You said it's been five hundred years, so how old are you?" Su Xie asked curiously, if it was really a few hundred years old, how tall should it be...... It's scary to think about.

"It's just over five hundred, and I've been the keeper of this cemetery since I was very young. The ape-man said as he walked in front, its nearly two-meter height forcing Su Xie to look up at it.

"Is the senior cultivation very high?" Su Xie asked as he looked up at the back of the other party's furry head.

"It's a secret, with your current strength, you're not qualified to ask questions, let's talk about it later, and I'll tell you, it's not that the longer you live, the higher the cultivation, sometimes you are destined to reach from birth, this can't be changed. The ape-man said lightly.

Su Xie no longer asked, since the other party didn't want to say, it was nothing, but he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, as the ape man said that since he could become the heir of the tomb owner's destiny, it means that his Su Xie's parents are definitely not ordinary people, maybe the family behind him is very strong, and such a genius as Su Xie will be born.

After the unanimous approval of so many people, Su Xie believes that he is no longer a waste, but a peerless genius who has been sealed and cultivated, but now he is still very weak, and when he becomes strong one day, he will definitely look for his family, because he wants to know why his biological parents abandoned him.
