Chapter 342: Mysterious Portrait
This carving is very large, and it is very sloppy, Shao Yu can't see it very clearly, but despite this, he can still clearly recognize the sword, the sword style is simple, and the sword body is dark gold, which is intentional by the person who carved it, so that people who see the mural can clearly identify the origin of this sword, the sword body is not very wide, slightly longer than the general war sword, and the overall presentation of a noble temperament, even, Shao Yu feels that just looking at it, as if he is facing a peerless master, as if facing a supreme heavenly venerable, it makes people can't help but trembleγ
This was exactly the same as the feeling that Shao Yu had when he saw another golden sword under the immortal mine at that time, which made him even more convinced that this sword inserted in the big tomb was the golden sword that Meng Yao asked him to find, and there would be no mistake.
It's just that this obviously won't be a simple errand, the walls on both sides of the stairs are very inscribed, but if you distinguish them carefully, you can recognize that there are a total of four pictures engraved here, and the other two are hard to say, but the giant coffin he knows, and it is likely that the emperor of the eight heavenly generals in the past is buried inside. And the importance of this sword and the giant coffin carved on the same wall is self-evident. Two are things on the same level.
As soon as he thought of this, Shao Yu's head was big, how anti-heaven should it be to be able to sit on an equal footing with the emperor's coffin? Obviously, the owner of the golden sword must be extremely anti-heaven, and even, this golden sword is very likely to be the sword of a certain emperor.
If that's the case, this golden sword is the legendary imperial weapon, and it must have already derived its own spiritual sense, not to mention bringing it back from the Tomb of the Gods and Demons, I'm afraid that if you get a little closer, you will be split into scum by the agitated sword qi, and there will be no accidents.
Shao Yu was thinking about it, when suddenly the voice of the coffin shop owner came from his ears again, "Guest, don't look at it, we should go out." β
Only then did Shao Yu react, they had been gone for a long time, and now they had returned to the ground, and above their heads was the coffin they had when they came.
Shao Yu sighed, took one last look at the stairs that circled and intersected like a swimming dragon, then turned around, climbed to the top of the stairs, and jumped out of the coffin.
After the two of them came out of the coffin, the owner of the coffin shop respectfully closed the coffin lid, and then walked around the screen with Shao Yu and returned to the front hall, where dozens of coffins were still neatly placed, exactly the same as when Shao Yu came, and there was no change at all.
"Who are these coffins?" Shao Yu was a little surprised, seeing that these coffins had existed for a long time, and no one had come to collect them, which made Shao Yu puzzled.
The owner of the coffin shop hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In the coffin are the clothed mounds of some of the strongest people in the past, and they are placed here for the purpose of suppressing demons!"
Shao Yu nodded, as a Xuan Master, he could naturally see that these coffins were placed in the front hall, which seemed very unlucky, but the position of each coffin was very particular, exhausting the principle of yin and yang changes, with Shao Yu's current attainments in measurement, he could only get a glimpse or two, and it was expected that it should have been arranged by the Heavenly Master himself.
Shao Yu didn't dwell on it much, he casually glanced at it a few times and spared it, and came to the lobby of the coffin shop, where the fat man and Hua Yufei were waiting, the fat man paced back and forth, obviously worried about Shao Yu's safety, Hua Yufei sat on the chair, closed his eyes and stared, nothing on the surface, but Shao Yu could still see that he, a cheap master, was also worried about him.
Seeing this scene, a warm current surged through Shao Yu's heart, but he didn't understand the tone on his face, and walked out slowly.
The fat man who was pacing saw Shao Yu coming, the worry on his face was swept away, and he turned from surprise to joy, he hurriedly walked over, hugged Shao Yu's shoulder, and said loudly: "Shao Yu! Sure enough, it's you, I'll say that you kid is not so easy to hang up." β
Shao Yu nodded, but instead of joking with the fat man, he walked to his master Hua Yufei, bowed respectfully, and said in a low voice: "Master!"
Hua Yufei didn't open his eyes, he was still sitting on the chair, and when he heard Shao Yu calling him, he said, "You're back?"
"Yes, master, I'm back. Shao Yu said respectfully.
"Got the incense?"
"I got it, but it's just ......" Shao Yu looked embarrassed, he took out the foot-long tribute incense in his arms, held it with both hands, and brought it to his master, "Please also ask the master to take a look at it himself." β
Hua Yufei slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the foot-long red incense, and soon, he noticed the abnormality and exclaimed, "Has this incense been used?"
Shao Yu nodded helplessly, "Yes, this incense has been used by someone before, and I don't know if it can be used again." β
Hua Yufei let out a long sigh and said seriously: "Boy, these are fates, some things, even if you fight for them, you may not necessarily get them, don't be too harsh on yourself, just obey the destiny of heaven." β
Shao Yu was a little surprised, who is Hua Yufei? That is the contemporary head of Hua Xuandao, the demon king who was condemned by the people of Kyushu back then, known as killing people without blinking, and has always disrespected heaven and earth, how could he say these words when he came to this capital today?"
Hua Yufei looked at Shao Yu's strange expression, and instantly understood what he was thinking, and said, "Do you think that those words just now do not match the impression of being a teacher in your heart?"
Shao Yu nodded, he didn't have to lie in front of Hua Yufei, he was confident that Hua Yufei would not suddenly turn against him and kill him.
Sure enough, Hua Yufei laughed loudly and said, "You will understand in the future, the weak eat the strong, the strong dominate fate, and the weak are dominated by fate, this is an immutable law, and no one can change it." β
Shao Yu nodded secretly, he always felt that Hua Yufei's words meant something, but he was still very weak now, so naturally he wouldn't understand what Hua Yufei was trying to tell him.
"What does the owner of the coffin shop say about this incense?" was silent for a while, but Hua Yufei provoked the conversation first, and then returned the topic to the tribute incense.
At this time, the fat man also came over out of curiosity, and when he saw this incense, the fat man immediately exclaimed, "What's the situation, Shao Yu, you are not kind, we have been waiting here for so long, you kid first took the tribute incense into the Tomb of the Gods and Demons, and said, how many treasures have you caught this time?"
Shao Yu had no intention of laughing with him, and replied directly: "You think too much, I didn't order this incense, someone once got this incense and lit it before, and it was already like this when I got it." β
"Will that still work?" the fat man realized the problem.
"That's the problem, if we enter the Tomb of the Gods and Demons with a stick of incense that has been lit, it is very likely to be regarded as a sign of disrespect, and we will put ourselves in danger. Shao Yu frowned, no matter how he thought about it, the situation was very unfavorable for him.
At this moment, the owner of the coffin shop hurriedly ran over, still holding a picture scroll in his hand, it turned out that just now when Shao Yu and Hua Yufei were chatting, the owner of the coffin shop ran back alone to check some of the notes left by his ancestors, hoping to find similar records, and now looking at his hurried appearance, there should be a discovery.
Shao Yu hurriedly greeted him, the owner of the coffin shop was his only hope, and his judgment would directly determine whether Shao Yu could enter the Tomb of Gods and Demons with this incense.
"How is it, have you found any clues?" Shao Yu hurriedly asked.
The owner of the coffin shop slowed down for a moment, then handed over the scroll in his hand and said, "It's in this painting, you can see it for yourselves." β
Shao Yu and the others hurriedly took the picture scroll, opened it and saw that it was a portrait, in which was a man, just a back, dressed in white, holding a pale golden killing sword in his right hand, and holding a burning tribute incense in his left hand.
There is no doubt that the man in the painting is holding the tribute incense in Shao Yu's hand now, but the killing sword in his right hand attracts Shao Yu's attention even more.
"It's that golden sword, it's actually in his hand!" Shao Yu exclaimed excitedly. (To be continued)
