Chapter 55: The Grave Keeper
Consciousness returned after a few seconds, and when I listened carefully, the bell was indeed gone, and the sound of the chanting was still the same, with strange tones, obscure words, unintelligible language, and I could only judge by feeling that it was chanting the scriptures.

Professor Liu stared at the relief, as if to record it in his mind, and he became less and less convinced of those advanced scientific and technological products.
Halfway through the memory, Professor Liu found something interesting on the relief, the traces of the carving, very new and new, it seems that it was carved not long ago, and it is quite inconspicuous in the whole relief, but it is this discovery that makes Professor Liu excited.
Five small characters with a fly head, the carver is very ingenious, try his best to carve these five small characters like the pattern decorated on the relief, even if you look carefully, you may not be able to see it, the reason why Professor Liu can see it, is because of the handwriting, even if those words are carved like a pattern, but Professor Liu still recognizes whose handwriting is the moment he sees those words.
Even though the words were carved like patterns, how could Professor Liu not recognize the charm in them? He was too familiar with them.
These five words are - beware of the grave keeper!
Professor Liu hesitated and puzzled for half a second, beware of the grave keepers? What grave guards? If there are grave guards here, doesn't that mean that there is a tomb here? And the scale is not small?
Professor Liu quickly calculated in his heart, he didn't expect that at this time, he could find the clues left by the archaeological team back then, which contained too much content in just five words.
There is a tomb here, and it is on a large scale, otherwise it is impossible to use the tomb keeper, and these five words may be to warn the latecomers, or to remind the latecomers, that is, no matter what the truth is, the archaeological team must have been to this village back then, and found a lot of things, including the altar in front of them.
Professor Liu guessed that the archaeological team knew something, so they left these words here, but what happened later?
The old village chief clearly said that no one came here, and now it seems that he obviously lied to them, and based on all kinds of possibilities and clues, Professor Liu came up with a bold conjecture in his heart, be careful of the grave keeper, this is used to remind the latecomers, in this case, the so-called tomb keeper is likely to be - all the villagers in this village.
They are loyal and conscientious, they can do anything to protect the tomb, and in the eyes of the tomb keepers, the purpose they guard is sacred and inviolable, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
There are two kinds of tomb keepers, one is that the tomb owner chooses a group of people who are extremely loyal to him during his lifetime, and then gives them orders to guard the tomb and not leave the area around the tomb.
Either there are amazing treasures hidden in the tomb, or there are things that the tomb owner does not want future generations to know, and the tomb keeper does not know what is inside, and the tomb owner will usually do this for the sake of secrecy.
They were indoctrinated with the idea that they would rather die themselves than let outsiders step into the tomb, and so on from generation to generation, and because they did not communicate with the outside world, this idea would be passed down forever, and if anyone wanted to enter the tomb, they would do everything to stop it.
But thankfully, they're still human, a bunch of stubborn people who can fight their way to protect the tombs, but they're still human, even though they're horrible to madness.
There is also a kind of tomb keeper who is above this kind of tomb keeper, they rarely appear in history, or even never show up, and there is no record of them in any history books, and its origin is like a fog of mystery.
They resolutely obey the orders of the tomb owner, eternal life and eternal will never betray, the tomb owner's orders are like God's will for them, they are like a sophisticated machine, as long as the command is issued, they will strictly follow the instructions meticulously completed, it is worth saying that they only recognize one master, whether life or death.
Strictly speaking, they can no longer be called human, they have only human bodies, but no real souls!
Don't try to provoke them, they will make you really understand what it means to be mad, they only obey the orders of the tomb owner, there is no reason in front of them, just ask, a group of tomb keepers who only know to obey orders, will they reason with you?
The result of angering them is destruction, and once they are angered, they will launch an endless pursuit, but this kind of grave keeper is surprisingly good, so the result of angering them is generally to consider themselves unlucky, so that they can die a little better.
This is just information and can be used as a reference, but no matter what kind of grave keeper you encounter, it is extremely tricky, and the two types of grave keepers are indistinguishable in appearance, but no one has ever encountered a second type of grave keeper.
The first type of grave keeper is still a human after all, as long as it is a human being, there is a way to deal with it, but when the second type is encountered, he will either go back to his home, or wash his neck and wait for death.
What kind of thing is it? Professor Liu's eyes fell on those five words again, and he had a hunch that the tomb keeper he was referring to was the second type!
Professor Liu felt a headache, if it was really the second type of tomb keeper, there was absolutely no possibility that his work would be completed, and ninety percent of the things he wanted might be stored in the tomb, however, the tomb was guarded by the tomb keepers, and it was a fantasy to want to go in, besides, what did this group of tomb guards do when they got them here?
It has only been a few days since they came to this crater, and it is more than a month short of the minimum time required, and it is impossible to exit this crater at present, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream! But when nothing happened and he returned to the village the same way, Professor Liu was extremely unwilling to think of what he was going to do, but if he continued, it would be extremely dangerous, and his life could be lost at any time.
Because they will definitely go into the tomb to explore, so it is inevitable to anger the grave keepers, then they will face a group of grave guards who have become crazy with anger, which will be very terrifying, and it is the last thing Professor Liu wants to happen.
Professor Liu felt that the most difficult choice was nothing more than this, but he would never have expected that he would not need to make a choice at all, his hesitation and concerns were superfluous at this moment, and in the near future, someone would choose for Professor Liu, making him embark on a path that he was least willing to take but had to take.
