Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 207 Strange People and Strange Tombs
The tomb of Wang Jiutang is the most prestigious tomb in the inverted bucket world, and even more than the initial imperial tomb, the people of the inverted bucket realm yearn for it.
Because the legend of Wang Jiutang is not only superb in martial arts, but also extremely good at Qimen organs, it is said that in his time, the princes and grandsons of the rich merchants were all proud to ask him to design and build the tomb.
And before he died, he also built a large tomb for himself, and publicly declared that he hid several peerless treasures in the tomb, and whoever can find the map he left behind and break through the mechanism he set up can get these treasures.
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Dou Realm has been struggling to find this tomb in Wang Jiutang.
It's a pity that from time to time someone said that they found the map and went into the tomb, but in the end, they fought to the death, only to find that it was just a trap set by Wang Jiutang, not the real tomb of Wang Jiutang.
Something like this happens almost once every hundred years, and so far nearly ten fake tombs have been discovered, and I don't know how many people have died for this, but the real tomb of Wang Jiutang has never been found.
Bai Yang also heard Old Man Bai talk about this when he was a child, and at that time, Bai Yang felt that this Wang Jiutang was so powerful that he had been dead for nearly a thousand years, and he could still use the trap he set up before his death to tease and frame the inverted fighter.
Because of this, as soon as Qi Mingyuan mentioned the "Wang Jiutang Tomb", everyone would show a sensational look.
The Red Door Master of the Gleaning Gate spoke: "In recent years, few people have mentioned the Wang Jiutang Tomb again, but I don't know why the Qi Gang Master is sure that the map found this time will be the map of Wang Jiutang's real tomb?"
"This ...... I'm afraid no one dares to guarantee it!" Qi Mingyuan said truthfully, "But judging from the map I have obtained, its mental skills are simply incredible! In addition, the material of the map is very strange, and it is still undamaged after a thousand years, so ...... At least I think it's a real map!"
As he spoke, he pulled a folded piece of paper from his bosom.
The paper had a withered yellow color, and it looked very old, as if it would turn into dust when touched.
But when Qi Mingyuan unfolded it and spread it on the wooden table, the paper was extremely soft.
As juniors, Poplar and Tie Niu have not been in the inverted fighting world for a long time, so they naturally don't know what kind of material they are made of.
Ouyang Qi's face changed, he stood up and bent down to approach the paper, looked at it carefully, and carefully pinched the corner of the paper with his hand and twisted it, but he didn't speak immediately, but looked back at the Red Door Master and said, "Red Gate Lord, you are the most authoritative antique appraisal expert in the Inverted Dou Realm, please see if this paper statue is not made of the legendary ice silk!"
When Bai Yang heard Ouyang Qi say such a sentence, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, he really didn't expect that the master of the Relics Sect would have such ability.
It seems that Qi Mingyuan invited the Red Gate Master and another woman who never spoke, not because he valued the skill of picking up the flying knives and hidden weapons in the Relics, but because the Red Gate Master had the most authoritative antique appraisal skills.
It's no wonder that Hong Xing seems to know a little bit about everything - for example, she said that she knows Qin Li, but she is not very proficient.
Maybe she's not really unproficient, but she just has the intention to hide her identity as the young master of the Gleaning Sect, so she doesn't want to be too prominent in all aspects.
The black-clothed and masked red door master walked to the wooden table, also lowered his head to take a closer look at the paper, then pinched the corner of the paper with his hand, and even lowered his head to smell the smell, then nodded and said: "Yes, this is very similar to ice silk mixed with a small amount of Persian jade silk! Ice silk and jade silk are extremely rare things, and this piece of paper is already worth a lot of money!"
"So...... Do the two of you also think that this should be Wang Jiutang's real tomb map?" Qi Mingyuan asked immediately, obviously happy.
"I'm not sure about this, I'm going to ask Old Mr. Ouyang!" the Red Door Lord said, taking a step back.
Ouyang Qi was not humble, he bent down again to look at the paper, and used his hand to keep going up and down the direction of the paper.
Several people gathered around the wooden table, and they saw that there were many lines and symbols crisscrossed on the paper, and there was a small amount of text in it, which really looked like a map.
It's a pity that this map is very different from ordinary maps, such as those symbols, Poplar and Iron Bull don't know what they mean.
So the two of them didn't say a word, and the others didn't say anything, just waiting for Ouyang Qi to seriously appraise it.
For a long time, so long that the light had dimmed and the sky was about to get dark, finally, Ouyang Qi let out a long sigh and slowly raised his head.
"What?" Qi Mingyuan and Chen Baitong spoke almost in unison.
"I'm not sure if this is a real tomb map, but it does look like it's real!" Ouyang Qi said.
"Why did the old gentleman say that?" Qi Yuanming immediately asked again.
"Because...... This map depicts the traps in the tomb in detail, but these traps are very different from the traps in the regular tomb!"
"What's the difference?" Qi Mingyuan asked.
"I'm still not sure!" Ouyang Qi shook his head, "It's just an idea of mine, and I won't know until I get to the scene!"
"What the hell does the old brother think, you might as well say it and listen to it!" Qi Yuanming chased again.
Ouyang Qi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Just looking at this map, I actually have a lot of things I don't understand, but as far as I feel, the mechanism settings on this side seem to require extremely advanced martial arts to crack, and they need to be proficient in all eighteen martial arts!"
Qi Mingyuan jumped up with a "yes" and shouted: "Yes, yes, I also feel this way, so I will send out invitations and invite the masters of the inverted fighting world to come and discuss! Now that Brother Ouyang also has this kind of thought, it seems that I am right! Legend has it that Wang Jiutang is not only proficient in mechanisms and occult arts, but his martial arts are also unfathomable! And he had already built a large tomb for many nobles at that time, so according to my thoughts, he mixed the martial arts factor into the tomb mechanism in order to build his own tomb differently!"
As soon as he said this, Poplar Tie Niu was secretly surprised. I feel that if Qi Mingyuan's speculation is true, then this Wang Jiutang is not only a genius who is proficient in martial arts, occult arts, and tricks, but also a strange person with very strange ideas.
Unexpectedly, Chen Baitong, Ouyang Qi, and even the black-clothed and masked Red Door Master all nodded again and again.
Chen Baitong said: "What the Qi Gang Master said is reasonable! Legend has it that Wang Jiutang is proficient in all aspects of astronomy and geography, but what he is most proud of is martial arts, so it is not surprising that he has mixed martial arts into his tomb organs! Only with such a talent as he can he have the ability to dissolve martial arts and organs into one furnace. ”
Qi Mingyuan and the others nodded again, and Ouyang Qi said: "In this way, this map should indeed be the map of Wang Jiutang's real tomb, otherwise it is a fake tomb, he doesn't need to bother with this scheming......! According to this map, if you want to break the tomb mechanism, you almost need to be proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and it is no wonder that the Qi gang leader said that with our strength, it is still a little weak!"
"So I hope that the other two masters I invited in the last day or two can come over!" Qi Mingyuan sighed lightly.
Tie Niu suddenly asked, "Since this map is the mechanism map in the tomb, what about it...... Where is this tomb? Shall we find this tomb first?"
As soon as he said this, he understood that he had asked a stupid question, for several of the elders all laughed.
Qi Mingyuan opened his mouth and said: "There is a description on this map that this big tomb is in a place called Mantou Valley at the foot of Balang Mountain. As long as we get to that place, with us people, we are not afraid that we will not be able to find it!"
Tie Niu was stunned when he heard this, and even Poplar was a little strange. Because there are only a few words on that map, I really don't understand how what Qi Mingyuan said is expressed on this map.
However, Poplar didn't dare to ask, because that would show him to be too ignorant.
Now he feels more and more that archaeological knowledge is profound and broad, and he is by no means under any kind of knowledge, so he can only secretly make up his mind to study more diligently in the future and become a truly qualified archaeologist.
Of course, the person he imagined was willing to teach him, and he was willing to follow and learn well, was Ding Lingling.
The person who is trapped in love is like this, inexplicably he thinks of Ding Lingling, I don't know how they are now, whether they are in any danger.
As the saying goes, being in Ya'an, my heart flew to the distant black desert.
