Chapter 45: The Mysterious Statue

As the stone gate fell, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the duck in his hand fly like this, the old man in black was quite annoyed. He struck at the stone gate with all his might, but apart from a shallow palm print on the wall, the stone gate was unscathed.

"What the fuck is this material made of, and how is it so strong?" the old man in black cursed incessantly, but there was nothing he could do.

However, the main purpose of his trip was to obtain the Martial King Inheritance, and Mu Lin was just a tool for him to enter the ruins. He can still tell which is more important than the inheritance of the woman and the martial king. After many unsuccessful attempts, the old man in black had to leave in a huff.

"That person is gone, let's go out too!" Duan Yun said as he heard the footsteps of the old man in black drifting away.

"En" Duan Long and Mu Lin agreed and walked towards the stone gate.

Soon, however, the three of them were dumbfounded.

I don't know how to design this stone room, the stone door can only fall, but there is no mechanism to open it. It is even more wishful thinking to lift it up with brute force.

In desperation, Duan Yun paced and looked at the stone chamber, trying to find another way from it. Because he didn't think that the builder would deliberately design a house that might imprison him forever.

There were several egg-sized night pearls on the walls of the stone room, so even if the stone door cut off the connection with the outside, the interior was still like daylight, especially this room was not big, Duan Yun could even see it at a glance.

Tragically, however, the entire wall is so integrated that not even a single joint can be found. After watching it for a long time, Duan Yun didn't find the problem.

"Duan Yun, look at the compass! My ancestors are likely to be nearby. Just when Duan Yun was at a loss, Mu Lin shouted excitedly.

Duan Yun walked over quickly, only to see the bright spots on the compass in Mu Lin's hand flickering constantly, and the direction pointed by the arrow was actually under their feet.

From the beginning of the escape, the three of them must have run ten miles away from this ruin, which just explains why the location of the highlight and the location of the entrance are inconsistent in the first place.

Duan Yun shifted the target from the wall to the ground. He kept tapping every inch of ground under him with his fingers, and when he hit a corner, Duan Yun finally found the clue.

I saw that there was an inconspicuous hole in the ground, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you wouldn't have found it at all. What is this little hole for?, Duan Yun wondered.

Seeing that Duan Yun had stopped moving, Mu Lin also came over and looked in the direction of the small cave.

However, the moment Mu Lin got closer, a white light burst out from the small hole and went straight to her front door.

The speed of this white light was so fast that the three of them couldn't react at all.

As the white light entered Mu Lin's sea of knowledge, her body was stagnant, and it took a long time to recover.

Looking at Duan Yun and Duan Long's concerned eyes, Mu Lin said, "I'm fine, don't worry, it's just one more memory." The white light just now was a memory carrier left by my ancestors, and it would only be stimulated when someone from our family came nearby. In this way, my ancestors have already taken precautions, and it is just a fool's dream for outsiders to want to get the inheritance. It's ridiculous that the old man in black thinks he is scheming, but he doesn't know that he can't get this inheritance at all. Alas, it's a pity that my family lost their lives because of this. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Lin's eyes moistened.

Looking at this poor girl, Duan Yun and Duan Long didn't know what to say for a while. There was silence in the stone room, and only the girl's sobs were clearly discerning.

After venting her emotions, Mu Lin calmed down. Following the guidance of memory, she made a strange seal with both hands. As the seal was played, runes began to emerge and rotate on the walls of the stone chamber. The runes grew clearer and faster. As the runes turned, the floor of the stone chamber gradually faded to both sides, revealing a basement in front of the three of them.

Unlike the stone chamber above, this basement is large, paved with gold bricks and beamed with sandalwood, and is built extremely luxuriously. And the most striking of them all is the golden statue of a young warrior sitting on the throne, his eyes wide open, not angry. Judging from the face, this person is about thirty years old, and his appearance looks quite similar to Mu Lin, which should be the ancestor Mu Lin said.

On either side of the statue stood two golden-armored warriors, and under the gold-armored warriors were six silver-armored warriors, all of whom were stubborn and majestic. These warriors were so lifelike that if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't feel the breath of life on their bodies, Duan Yun almost thought that there were fourteen living people standing in front of him.

"Who are you, and why are you disturbing the peace of the deceased?" and a cry of rage suddenly came out of the statue's mouth just as the three of them marveled at the generosity of the basement. Although the voice was not loud, it seemed to ring in the hearts of the three people, and even their souls trembled.

"Hey, this girl, are you a descendant of the Mu family? I feel a familiar aura from you. The statue's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, and when he saw Mu Lin, his expression began to become excited.

"Junior Mu Lin, these two are my friends, but the seniors are Mu Feng?" asked Mu Lin cautiously.

"To be precise, I'm just a puppet that my master has refined in his image, but he sealed some memories on my body before he died, so it's not an exaggeration to think of me as half of him. The statue puppet said, his face showing some sadness.

After a moment of silence, the statue puppet continued: "The master was dissolute and unruly, offended many people, and carelessly designed for traitors to fall into this secret realm. Under the suppression of the realm, although he killed a strong enemy, he was also highly poisonous. Knowing that his days were short, he built this underground mausoleum and left all his life's learning here, in order to leave a legacy for future generations. It seems that my mission should be completed today, little girl, you come forward......"

Since the statue puppet was made by the ancestors, it will never hurt itself. Thinking so, Mu Lin generously walked in front of the statue.

I saw the statue stiffly raise its right arm and point its index finger on Mu Lin's forehead. Suddenly, runes poured into Mu Lin's body along his index finger. Suddenly receiving so much information, the pain she endured can be imagined, but Mu Lin didn't say a word, and the belief in revenge made the girl grit her teeth and insist.

Looking at this never-before-seen scene, Duan Yun didn't dare to take a breath, he was afraid that Mu Lin would have an accident.

An hour later, as the last rune was delivered, the statue's right arm was slowly lowered. Mu Lin's body also seemed to have reached a limit of bearing, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Don't worry. She's just going to need a while to digest the information, so you two boys can do your own thing. I'm running out of energy, and before she wakes up, remember not to mess around here, lest you cause yourself unnecessary trouble......" With that, the statue's head hung down, motionless, and without its previous majesty.

Since the statue said so, there must be quite a lot of mechanisms in this basement. Duan Yun naturally didn't want to be bored, especially since the aura here was many times richer than the outside, and his cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort, so he simply meditated down and greedily absorbed it.
