Chapter 45: The Stranger

In the long corridor, only the footsteps of Zheng Xie echoed.

This endless corridor looks the same as the stone chamber, and even the stone bricks look the same material.

Every few steps, a dark green oil lamp hangs on the corridor so that people can't see their feet clearly.

Zheng Xie walked slowly while browsing the murals on the wall with great interest.

Yes, murals. It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a fresco as a relief. The quaint brick walls are artificially carved with intricate reliefs, in which the figures come to life as if they were about to leap out of them.

"This should be a record of the life of the tomb owner, right?"

Zheng Xie only glanced at it a few times, and he probably guessed the main content of the relief.

At the beginning of the relief, the carving is decorated with thick clouds, on which a dragon head looms, as if a real dragon is hidden in the clouds.

Beneath the clouds was a gentle-faced woman with a baby in her arms, surrounded by a crowd of people dressed in simple costumes, as if celebrating the birth of the baby.

I don't know why, it is obviously a stone brick of one tone, but Zheng Xie Bisheng felt the colorful color from it.

"There are auspicious clouds when you are born, and there is a sign of a true dragon, if there is no exaggerated element in it, I am afraid that a god will be born to ..... earth."

Zheng Xie was speechless.

Continuing to walk forward, Zheng Xie witnessed the baby's growth.

At the age of three, he can move like the wind, at the age of five, he can lift a thousand pounds, and at the age of seven, he can make the beasts around him surrender.

Zheng Xie squinted his eyes at the immature young man on the relief, as well as the group of strange beasts lying on the ground with their heads lowered and carved around, and couldn't help but mutter:

"It's too much......"

When he saw this baby grow into a heroic young man, Zheng Xie's heart could no longer be described as shocked.

It's a sea changer.

If the record of the relief is true, then Zheng Xie may have witnessed the birth of a true god-man.

"If you haven't gone through cultivation, you can just grow and mature, and you can soar through the clouds, is this still a human being?"

Zheng Xie looked at it for a while, on the one hand, he didn't want to believe that someone could have such a terrible talent, but on the other hand, he hoped that this was a real legend.

"Huh, are you going to join the army to fight?"

Zheng Xie fixed his mind, and looked at the young man on the relief put on armor and took the lead in the army, and the demeanor at that moment could indeed be called a god descending from heaven.

However, the enemy he faced was somewhat strange.

The enemy troops on the relief were shrouded in thick clouds and fog, and only vague shapes could be seen, but they exuded a terrifying aura that made people shudder, the kind of fear that came from the flood of wilderness, which made Zheng Xie a little shocked just by looking at the pictures carved in stone.

"What the hell is he fighting against?"

Zheng Xie's heart became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but continue to look at it.

It's a blank slate.

Zheng Xie was stunned, because the relief in front of him stopped abruptly, and there was no more follow-up.

"Is there any work ethic? How can there be a reason that half of the carving is not carved? This kind of craftsman, please drag it out and behead it for public display?"

Zheng Xie was depressed and couldn't help muttering.

"You're going to behead me?"

A shrill voice came from the darkness in front of the corridor.

The moment Zheng Xie heard the voice, he urged his own qi and blood, turned around and took a step back to widen the distance, and put on a defensive posture to deal with the comer.

Walking from the front, it was a strange man who was only as tall as Zheng Xie's waist.

This strange man is extremely short, but his face is mature and vicissitudes, and he looks extremely incongruous and strange.

The strange man walked up to three feet in front of Zheng Xie so defenselessly, and then let out a sharp voice again:

"You just said you were going to behead me?"

Zheng Xie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized something:

"This relief is your work?!"

The strange man snorted:

"Who else but me can have such craftsmanship?"

Zheng Xie looked at the relief beside him, and then at the short strange man in front of him, he really couldn't connect the two.

Despite this, in order to save his image in the eyes of the other party, Zheng Xie still pretended to confirm again:

"You're saying that this relief, which shapes dead things into living things and carves them out of stone, is your work?"

Hearing Zheng Xie's words, this strange man seemed to be extremely useful, and his head was slightly raised:

"Exactly!"

Then the strange man walked to the side of the relief, stretched out his dry, slender fingers, and slowly rubbed the wall:

"Although you kid is annoying to talk to people, but in the case that your vision is not bad, I can solve your doubts. ”

Well, the art of negotiation.

It sounds like the accusation of the strange man in front of him should be to introduce some information about the next test to the comer, so it seems that the next test should not be far from Zheng Xie.

"Putting a lot of tests in your own mausoleum doesn't seem to mind others disturbing your sleep, but you welcome it......"

Thinking of this, Zheng Xie couldn't help but complain about the owner of this mausoleum.

However, hearing Zheng Xie's words, this strange man laughed gloomily:

"I really don't mind, because my lord's body is not in this mausoleum, so naturally I don't care about the so-called sleep. ”

Zheng Xie was shocked in his heart and looked at the strange man in front of him:

"Not there?!"

The owner of this mausoleum, the corpse is not in this mausoleum?!

The weirdo laughed a lot:

"Isn't it strange? When my lord made a great fuss in the underworld, no one knew where he went, and although this mausoleum was called a tomb, it was just an empty tomb. ”

Yes, it's still a lord who has made a fuss in the underworld.

Zheng Xie didn't know the details of this corpse king's tomb, nor did he know that this corpse king's tomb was related to the Great Wilderness, he completely relied on intuition and luck to break into this place, and compared with those Tianjiao who were sent into this place by the power of the sect or clan, he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of information.

But strangely, Zheng Xie knew more about the hidden explorations in the Lost Domain and the Tomb of the Corpse King than those Tianjiao.

Among them, creation is really not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Originally, it was just a knock from the mouth of the sheep's head stone carving, and the mural, Zheng Xie only had a vague guess about the strength of this tomb owner, until he heard the words of this strange man, Zheng Xie knew what a terrible person this tomb owner was.

Any existence that can stir up storms in the underworld is a legend that can be recorded in the classics.

But why did such a figure disappear, and why did he leave behind a mausoleum that had set many tests?

Zheng Xie's mind was like a flash of lightning, and he quickly picked out a few major suspicions.

First of all, there is the mutation of the underworld, and countless graves have become empty tombs, which is exactly the same as this mausoleum. The second is the weirdness of the Lost Domain, which has been artificially created, and almost makes Zheng Xie lose in it.

Then, there is the convergence of many powers.

First Liu Tong of the Bafang Pavilion, and then the old man of Nanyuan City, these powerful people all appeared in such a remote location, which had to make Zheng Xie vigilant.

Usually, a great power is rare, and he sits in the main place of his own clan or sect all the year round, but at this time, he coincidentally haunts a remote corner of this Dongbai......

In fact, Zheng Xie really didn't guess wrong.

The reason why the eight top powers of Dongbai are all gathered in this corner, and even other powers that do not belong to the state of Dongbai, is because someone has deduced a cause and effect of the Corpse King's Tomb this time.

The entire battle for the creation of the Corpse King's Tomb may be changed because of this cause and effect.

But so far, no one has been able to find any trace of that cause and effect.

The strange man looked at Zheng Xie's expression changed slightly, and he also smiled unfathomably:

"I know you have a lot of questions, but don't worry, come one by one, and I'll answer them for you one by one. ”

Then, the strange man withdrew his hand from stroking the wall, and his tone became much darker:

"First of all, this relief is indeed the life of my Lord....... There is nothing in the story of the things recorded therein......"
