Chapter 142: Entering the Mausoleum

Walk to the door.

Under the illumination of the light, bits of floating dust fill the air.

Li Changan did not hesitate to turn on the soul vision.

In the line of sight, a little spiritual light suddenly appeared, reflecting the entangled and intertwined spiritual threads.

Bang Bang –

A gray-haired mouse fell from above, its gray eyes as if it could not detect the change in light, and only twitched its nose, as if looking for something.

Suddenly.

Sou!

A swift and sharp figure burst out of the dark corridor, only to see a stout python, swallowing the fat gray-haired mouse into its belly.

Spit out the snake letter, it did not go out, but slowly retreated.

Seeing this scene, the little phantom on Li Changan's shoulder bared his teeth.

Did you get off the horse before you even went in?

This giant python should also be a spirit beast, and the spirituality contained in its body does not seem to be low, and it is estimated that it also has the strength of the first and second orders of the negative level.

And this is just the entrance, Li Changan and the others have not yet entered.

Wang Youshan was not surprised by the appearance of the giant python, he took over the command from Bai Chengjie.

"Changqing is responsible for defense, Hongwu is the main attack, Hongwen is controlling, and the top soldiers are on reconnaissance and alert."

After speaking, he looked at the crowd.

No one objected.

Since Bai Chengjie had already thought about exploring this mausoleum, in terms of personnel allocation, he recruited it relatively reasonably.

Although, in Li Changan's view, these few people, including himself, all have ghosts in their hearts, and it is estimated that they will each have their own eyes on cooperation.

But at least just looking at the combination, it's still okay.

Li Changan glanced at the little guy on his shoulder, took it back, and summoned Kui Dou.

The rest of them also summoned their own spirit beasts.

Then, under Bai Chengjie's gaze, everyone turned on the lighting equipment that had been prepared long ago, and cautiously stepped into the corridor, entering the mausoleum of the sixth-order spirit master of the Third Age period.

Passing through the mausoleum gate, the corridor behind it is not very long, but it is a little narrow.

Five people plus four spirit beasts seemed a little crowded.

The walls on all four sides are carved with beautiful patterns.

According to Li Changan, a history teacher, understands.

In the Fourth Age, the corridor behind the mausoleum, including the entire mausoleum, was almost uncarved.

Because this is a very time-consuming, manpower-intensive and material-intensive project.

After the Fourth Age, the royal family of the Tohiro Kingdom took the lead and promoted the custom of keeping funerals simple.

However, in the Third Age, it was the opposite.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a prince or nobleman, the mausoleum is often as cumbersome to build as it can be.

At that time, people were full of reverence for death, and they also attached great importance to funerals.

Therefore, this is just the mausoleum of a sixth-order spirit master, and the engraving of the mausoleum after the entrance is not inferior to the mausoleums of some dukes and marquis of the Donghong Kingdom after the Fourth Age.

Although, for historians of continental countries, the Third Age is recognized as an era shrouded in fog, and it is impossible to see the true era.

There are too many deficiencies and ambiguities in all aspects of this history, and there are even fewer tombs, ancient cities and documents unearthed.

But that doesn't mean that no one is studying this hazy history.

The small number of samples also means that there is still something to refer to and study after all.

Like Li Changan's teacher, Professor Yan Fuchun, is a top expert on the history of the Third Age.

However, Professor Yan Fuchun's main focus is on the direction of writing, not the study of the entire history.

But even if it is just like this, Li Changan, as a student, has more or less seen some papers and materials.

Of course, there are very few spirit beasts and royal families involved, almost none.

I don't dare to say anything else, the five people who entered the mausoleum together, he is definitely the one who knows the most about the history of the Third Age.

Luckily, they didn't encounter the previous python spirit beast in the corridor.

Smoothly entered a hall with a wide view.

According to the records of the mausoleum of the Third Age that have been unearthed and made public.

The structure of the mausoleums of the Third Age is generally not much different from that of the Fourth Age.

The overall presentation is as follows: the front circle is rear, symmetrical left and right, and the middle chamber expands towards all sides.

And now he is in the middle room.

In addition to the passage that comes in, there should be a passage on the opposite side and on the left and right sides.

The left side leads to the mausoleum kitchen, and the right side leads to the mausoleum library, and there will be two closed rooms of equal size.

The middle room is large and rectangular in shape.

It was wider than Li Changan expected, and they walked at least 100 meters before they saw the steps.

"After walking through the steps and stepping on a platform, it should be a passage to the inner room, huh?"

Walking behind the top soldier in charge of reconnaissance, Li Changan was stunned for a moment when he looked up and looked straight ahead according to his impression.

Saw.

On that platform, in addition to two rows of symmetrical candlesticks, there was a dark gray hazy seat.

Seat?

According to the strict hierarchy of funerals in the Third Age.

A person who does not have a knighthood is considered a nobleman, and he cannot place a seat on the platform of the middle room of the mausoleum.

Because this seat represents power.

Only those who have received royal awards, have titles, and have the power they have, can have seats in the mausoleum.

The size of the seat, the patterns carved on it, the inlaid gems, gold and silver are also extremely strict.

So. This sixth-order spirit master Zhao Wenxuan, in the Third Age period, was he still a nobleman with a knighthood?

But

"Brother, Ruby."

A few people climbed the stairs and saw the chair, but they didn't seem to realize what it meant.

Hong Wu immediately noticed a red gem the size of two thumbs that was inlaid in the middle of the back of the seat, which was covered with dust and somewhat dim.

This gem is worth a lot of money. No, that's not the point. Li Changan blinked his eyes violently, prompting himself to be sober.

Ruby. It shouldn't be a ruby!

The predecessor of the Tohong Kingdom was the Ancient Imperial Dynasty, and the territory of the current Tohong Kingdom is almost the same as that of the Ancient Imperial Dynasty of the Third Age, and even if it is different, it is roughly the same.

Most of the territory of the ancient dynasty was close to the sea, so the nobles of the ancient dynasty at that time regarded sapphire as the most precious gemstone.

The Daheng Dynasty, which occupied the interior, used topaz as its most precious treasure.

That is to say, in the noble tombs of the ancient dynasties, the gems inlaid on the back of the seats should be sapphires, and the Daheng Dynasty is topazes, which is the same meaning as the seats, which is power and status.

Even, the gem on the back of the chair was regarded as more important than the chair by the people of the time.

According to the exquisite carvings he saw when he entered this mausoleum, the owner of the mausoleum would never have been fooled into such an important matter.

A sixth-order spirit master, and a noble sixth-order spirit master, is absolutely impossible not to buy sapphires.

"Don't mess around!"

Just as Li Changan was pondering, Wang Youshan gave a serious shout to stop Hongwu, who was acting a little rashly.

"Keep walking."

Obviously, Wang Youshan's attention is not on this chair, what he values more is the passage behind the high platform where the chair is located, the passage leading to the inner room.

Li Changan didn't tell what he found, but just glanced back quietly as he walked past the seat.

Behind the seat, a badge-like pattern was seen, depicting a giant sword that was half-broken and cracked in the middle.

and some dense small text under the badge.

This badge is the family crest of a family.

Just a broken greatsword?

This is obviously not the family emblem that Li Changan recognizes.

Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, he followed the spearhead and continued to move forward.

Suddenly.

"Be careful!"

Just listen to the spearhead and drink lowly.

Everyone tensed up for the first time, and their eyes followed the light of the flashlight and looked around.

The next second.

Hiss –

With the swallowing of the snake letter and the sound of hard scales rubbing against the ground, a huge python, in the dimness, quickly swept towards them from the left.

"Kuidou."

As Li Changan, who was in charge of defense, shouted in his heart for the first time.

"Bracket!!"

Hearing this, Kui Dou took a step without hesitation, stood in front of everyone, and while facing the python, he slapped his palm as if he were magnificent, and opened his palm towards the giant python that was rushing towards him.

Bang!!

There was a dull sound.

Kuidou's footsteps did not move at all, firmly bearing the impact of the giant python.

"Leave it to me!"

Hong Wu also spoke at this time, and his arm waved violently.

The wrinkled rhinoceros on its side rushed out without hesitation, and its short and sharp top horns slammed into the python's body.

Puff –

There was no blood splattered as everyone expected, and the python quickly dried up like a balloon, leaving only a crumpled and rotten snake that slipped out of Kuidou's hands.

"Brackets?"

Fake?

"The other side is coming, too!"

Without waiting for Li Changan to figure out the situation, the voice of the sharp soldier sounded again.

I saw that from their right side, there was another almost identical python, winding in.

But this time, it was greeted by indistinct silk threads that quietly fell from the sky, and the body of the giant python was also like a stuck machine at this moment, struggling but quickly returning to its original position.

It was Hong Wen's puppet puppet, and its stiff fingers trembled slightly, and the python could no longer move a single bit.

Poof!!

This time the voice came directly in front of them.

See you.

The spirit beast of the spearhead, a tengu that looked like a dog but was covered in feathers, could walk upright, and had an extremely abrupt and long nose, shook his palm, and the two feathers in his hands were restored to three.

And what the cracking sound was exchanged for was an almost identical snake moult.

There is a feather stuck in it.

The next moment.

Boom –

Movement rang out from almost everywhere.

A pair of scarlet vertical pupils emerged from all directions.

"So much?"

Hong Wu's eyes widened.

These giant snakes are obviously not real spirit beasts, either they originate from some mechanism in the mausoleum, or some kind of ritual, or they may be the ability of a certain spirit beast.

Although the strength is not strong, it is still a bit tricky to appear so many together.

"Get in!" Wang Youshan did not show a panicked look, but immediately said:

"The spearhead goes ahead, and Li Changqing and the Unyielding Tree Demon break behind."

Change the formation and let the strongest defense take on the work of breaking off.

Everyone was not ambiguous, and Li Changan did not shirk.

"Kuidou, wooden armor!"

"Bracket-"

The roots were interspersed, and a heavy wooden branch armor was put on Kuidou's body.

After everyone had entered the corridor leading to the inner room, Li Changan and Kui Dou walked in at the end.

Taking advantage of this short time to adjust the formation, Li Changan finally had time to look at the words on the back of the seat.

"Yongyan Calendar Yang's Wenxuan"

It's a pity that the time is too short, and the writing is a relatively old script, so there is not much information that can be seen at a glance.

But even so, it was just the beginning, and it also shocked Li Changan's heart.

Yongyan calendar, Yongyan calendar, he kept repeating these words in his heart.

The ancient imperial calendar, the Daheng calendar, the Donghong calendar, and then look at this Yongyan calendar.

Could it be that in the Third Age, there was still a dynasty called Yongyan?!

However, no matter how hazy and difficult the history of the Third Age is, at least we know the existence of the Ancient Dynasty and the Daheng Dynasty.

But in this Yongyan Dynasty, he hadn't even heard of it.

A huge dynasty, can it still disappear out of thin air?

"Li Changqing, what a daze! Come on! ”

It wasn't until someone urged him that Li Changan reacted from his stunned state, and slowly retreated with Kui Dou to keep up with the team.

The group of pythons had already crawled to the front of the road.

But also because of the space of the Yongdao, Kuidou only needs to face one, so the pressure is not great.

After entering the corridor, those giant pythons didn't seem to dare to come in, but after wandering around the entrance and attacking Kuidou a few times, they slowly retreated.

Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!.

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, it was as if they heard a sound like a heartbeat, echoing in the corridor.

And as we went deeper, the sound became more and more pronounced.

Heartbeat?

When everyone was surprised, Wang Youshan, who had always been calm and calm, changed his complexion greatly.

"Impossible! How can it be?! ”

A few people looked at him for some reason.

I saw that his face was pale and cold sweat was dripping.

Where is there still the appearance of the previous god stick.

"What's wrong?" The Sharpie asked in a deep voice.

Wang Youshan didn't answer his question, but said to himself with dull eyes:

"How is it possible that so many years have passed, how, how can it be, still alive?"

Still alive?

Li Changan suddenly shook his spirit, and his hair stood upside down.

That spirit beast that has reached the angelic level?!

Bang!!

Without giving them time to react, the corridor they were in suddenly made a muffled sound.

It's like distorting the line of sight and folding the space, and the positions between several people are getting farther and farther away.

Meantime.

A strange spirituality that doesn't know where it came from, touched them.

It became a stream of information.

Roughly translated, it is.

"You four, what a gut!"

Wait a minute.

Four?
