Chapter 017: The Tomb of the God of War

Early the next morning, the local government sent a local farmer who was familiar with the terrain to go with everyone.

After breakfast, everyone boarded the bus and went up the mountain.

The car went up the winding mountain road, about 40 minutes of driving, there was no road in front, and the big bus could only stop in the parking lot of the Jiuxianshan Meteorological Station.

The group got out of the car and walked for another half an hour before arriving at their destination.

There is a thousand-year-old banyan tree next to the ancient tomb, and the trunk of the tree needs seven adults to hug together, and the trunk of the banyan tree is hollow and the size is just enough to accommodate seven adults.

It is rumored that every year on the night of the full moon of the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, seven people form a team to spend the night in the Banyan Tree Cave to have the opportunity to meet the tree god, and the person chosen by the tree god only needs to take out the most precious thing and exchange it with the tree god to fulfill all wishes.

Therefore, the ancient banyan tree is called by the locals - the sacred tree.

Wu Luoyang didn't believe in any tree gods.

In other words, if you can exchange things for people to fulfill their wishes, I am afraid that they are not good gods, but evil demons who have been cultivated to a certain extent.

Walking around the roots of the tree, Wu Luoyang did not find anything abnormal.

It's just that she always feels that in the dark, there is a pair of eyes that she can't see, silently watching her every move.

Over there in the tomb.

The incense case had been laid out, and after Master Wu Leiting had notified the nearby creatures, he distributed a red rope to everyone and asked everyone to tie the red rope around their wrists.

The stone door of the tomb has been opened by previous tomb robbers, which has saved them a lot of trouble for archaeologists.

Before entering the ancient tomb, Wu Leiting handed Wu Luoyang a small short sword cast in bronze, which Wu Luoyang had seen used when his master cast spells, so he wore it on his waist.

Wu Luoyang held a torch and walked at the front of the line.

Although it hasn't rained for a few days, there is a lot of humidity in the forests that shade the sun and the newly dug roads down the ancient tombs, and the muddy mud is always sticky to the feet.

"Be careful."

Wu Luoyang reminded the team behind him from time to time.

There was a slippery step under his feet, and everyone carefully moved forward with every step they took.

Tick......

After a few minutes of walking, the cave space in front of me grew larger, and the dirt overhead seeped water droplets, and the ticking sound of falling to the ground created a dull echo in the cave.

Twenty meters further on, it should be the burial chamber where the coffin is placed.

Wu Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not easy to walk all the way, but fortunately, she would soon be able to reach the tomb, and this thought made her nervous spirit relax.

That's when I didn't think the unexpected happened.

A gust of wind struck, and all the torches and kerosene lamps were extinguished.

Suddenly, the entire passage was black, and the people in the back team began to be restless, and everyone looked panicked and asked what was going on.

Fortunately, after a while, Xu Xing immediately organized people to light the fire again, and the flickering flames also illuminated the narrow passage walls.

"There's a ghost!"

In the ranks, I don't know who tore out their throats in horror and shouted.

Wu Luoyang didn't understand what was going on yet.

I only felt that someone behind her suddenly pushed her forward, and her body lost balance in an instant.

"Luoyang!"

In my ears was the eager voice of Master Wu Leiting.

The originally muddy road was slippery with footsteps, and being pushed like this, Wu Luoyang instinctively stretched out his hand to the people around him, and the next second the whole person fell towards the tomb below.

A thick chest held her tightly in his arms.

...... in the dark

Wu Luoyang felt that the whole person was descending rapidly, and the wind in his ears was whistling, and before he could react, a muffled sound fell on the hard stone slab of the tomb.

The back of the head hit the ground, and it hurt.

Wu Luoyang instinctively reached out and touched it, and something warm poured out from his hair, wet and sticky, with a strong smell of blood.

The blood fell on the floor tiles, as if it had been secretly wiped clean and collected by an invisible hand......

In the next second, it was all gone.

"Hmm......"

A dull voice sounded in his ears, stained with a groan of pain.

It's Master's voice.

Wu Luoyang was shocked.

Ignoring the pain, she immediately rolled over and fell to one knee on the ground.

With the help of the light and shadow cast from the passage above, Wu Luoyang quickly saw Master Wu Leiting who was lying motionless on the ground.

"Master!"

Wu Luoyang shouted at him.

For the first time in my life, I was so scared.

"I'm ......"

Wu Leiting moved slightly, and the voice of his response was also gentle.

Hearing Master's voice, Wu Luoyang's eyes instantly became hot, and he asked in a choked voice, "Master, how are you?!" ”

"I'm fine."

Wu Leiting wanted to sit up, and tried twice, but it was unsuccessful.

Wu Luoyang put his hands on the master's shoulders, signaled him not to move, took off the white windbreaker jacket on his body, and put it under the master's head.

Over there, Xu Xing also came down with people.

Torches lit up the surroundings.

Fortunately, Master Wu Leiting was not a big deal except for a little blood on his forehead, and he lay on the ground for a while and sat up.

The man who shouted "There is a ghost" just now almost didn't kneel, and apologized guiltily, saying that he was too nervous because of the slippery under his feet, and the flickering flame of the torch caused a hallucination.

Wu Leiting didn't say anything, just said that it was okay.

"Master."

Wu Luoyang's eyes were red.

shouted "Master", someone responded, and at that moment she felt very happy, but the tears in the corners of her eyes fell unconsciously one by one.

"Silly girl, don't cry, it's okay."

Wu Leiting's voice was kind.

Stretched out his hand and touched Wu Luoyang's head, and when he saw that she was fine, he was relieved.

Seeing that their master and apprentice were fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Xing announced that the excavation of the ancient tomb was proceeding as planned.

The main burial chamber houses two huge sarcophagus.

The lid on the right has been pried open, and the burial goods inside have been washed away, apparently by the previous group of tomb robbers.

The sarcophagus on the left is intact.

Probably because the gang of tomb robbers tried to do something to it, the three of them suddenly died, so they had to stop.

The archaeological team is not only based on the premise of the protection of relics and ancient cultural relics, but also to open the coffin to obtain the ancient cultural relics, and provide value for the study of the history of ancient human society according to the material materials left behind. Physical materials include various relics and relics, which have been systematically and completely revealed and collected through scientific investigation and excavation.

Everyone gathered around the sarcophagus coffin, helpless.

They used various methods, and the sarcophagus lid just didn't move.

"Luoyang, you try."

Wu Leiting said to Wu Luoyang beside him.

The stone of the sarcophagus is earth in the five elements, and the bronze short sword is gold, and the gold and earth in the five elements are mutually reinforcing.

Wu Luoyang stepped forward in response, took down the bronze short sword he was wearing at his waist, stabbed it into the connecting gap of the coffin, and urged Huo Yuanqi to slowly open the sarcophagus lid.

The excavation of the tomb was carried out smoothly.

After half a month, the excavation of the ancient tomb came to an end.

As Wu Luoyang guessed, this is an ancient tomb group. Judging from the relics obtained in the excavation and the written records left behind, this is not only a prince of the clan, but also a god of war with outstanding military achievements during his lifetime, and after his death, the lord of the country issued an edict to posthumously crown him as the god of war.

That is, she dug the grave of the god of war.

The prince of the clan is also the god of war with outstanding military achievements, so it is not surprising that there is a necklace of twelve constellations in this ancient tomb.

After all, the emperor is not afraid of the emperor.
