Chapter 507
507 The labyrinth and reuniting (1)
didn’t they say that that sect was once highly sought after by high officials and nobles? the identity of the owner of this tomb is obviously noble. Chu Yuanqian analyzed.
His meaning was obvious. The owner of the tomb was a fanatic worshiper of the dual cultivation technique.
“To be able to see the long-lost dual cultivation technique here, this trip has not been in vain.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus sighed.
“Daoist priest, you don’t get close to women, so this dual cultivation technique is useless to you.” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.
Golden Lotus Daoist’s face darkened.
“The clothes of the people in the murals are a little strange. They are so old that I can’t determine which dynasty they are from.”
Compared to the dual cultivation technique, Chu Yuanxi was more interested in the other mural.
Xu Qi ‘an had already memorized the dual cultivation technique on the mural, and he urged, ” let’s go. We need to leave this place. It’s more important to find number five.
He wanted to monopolize such a good thing.
Hence, everyone continued to explore. Qian you listened to their conversation and knew that the thing on the mural was the legendary dual cultivation technique.
This was good. It didn’t affect his cultivation at all.
To men, it was simply an irresistible temptation. This was especially so for people like Qian you, who lacked resources, guidance from famous teachers, and secret manuals.
He quietly took a few steps back and waited for Xu Qi ‘an and the others to leave. Qian you immediately turned back to look at the murals.
Time was limited, and he had only memorized a few pictures just now. He was simply unable to form an effective dual cultivation technique, which was equivalent to being useless.
“. ‘ll go after them after I’ve memorized it. It’ll be done soon, very soon …”
Qian you held the torch and walked very fast. In the empty environment, only the sound of his footsteps echoed.
Slowly, Qian you realized that something was wrong. He had been walking for so long, but he still hadn’t reached the place where the mural was.
we didn’t go that far. Why haven’t we returned to the painting? ”
He raised the torch and shone it everywhere. The tomb was empty and terrifyingly quiet. Not only were there no murals, but there wasn’t even a coffin.
The murals were gone, and so were the sarcophagi and zombies … He stood there for a moment, and cold sweat poured out.
Qian you’s teeth were chattering, and his voice was trembling as well. “Great, great hero? Hero, I’m here, don’t leave me behind …”
The sound reverberated in the empty environment, refracted, and changed its shape. When it returned to his ears, it sounded like someone else was shouting.
A chill ran down Qian you’s spine, and his hair stood on end. He shut his mouth and did not dare to speak again.
He turned around and tried to catch up with Xu Qi ‘an and the others. However, he changed from sprinting to running wildly. He ran until he was out of breath, but he still couldn’t catch up with Xu Qi ‘an.
There was not a single person in sight. In the silent tomb, only the sound of his footsteps echoed, making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar and experienced the coldness from hell.
Suddenly, Qian you, who was running madly, tripped and fell to the ground. He groaned as he fell. He grabbed the torch in fear and shone it over.
It was a corpse. To be more precise, it was half a corpse.
He only had the upper half of his body. The lower half of his body had been cut off at the waist by something, and the wound was bloody. The organs in his stomach were also emptied.
ah! Qian you cried out in shock and scrambled away in fear.
There were evil beings, man-eating evil beings … It’s nearby and I can encounter it at any time … A huge fear exploded in his heart, and Qian you’s face turned pale.
“Leave, hurry up and leave this place.”
Qian you’s hand that was holding the torch trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He was an old man of the Hou Tu gang and had been to the tomb before. He had experienced all kinds of dangers, but none of them were as strange as the one in front of him. Fortunately, he still had the courage to not be scared out of his wits.
“The light of the fire may attract evil things, but without the light of the torch, I might not even know when I run into it. Furthermore, after staying underground for so long, his eyes must have deteriorated and become less sensitive to light.
“What I want to do is not to put out the fire, but to get rid of the smell on my body.”
As a mature grave robber, he had all these things. He took out a porcelain jar from the bag he carried with him. The jar was filled with a pungent powder. If one smelled it carefully, it was similar to the smell of a corpse.
Qian you sprinkled the powder on his body, held the torch, and walked forward carefully.
He had completely lost his sense of direction and just went wherever he wanted to go.
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind her. “Qian you?”
……………
After walking for a while with the torch in his hand, Golden Lotus suddenly frowned. “Are we short of one person?”
As he spoke, he glanced behind him, and the old Daoist’s pupils shrank.
There was nothing behind him. The Houtu gang’s branch leader had disappeared.
Xu Qi ‘an, Chu Yuanyou, and Heng Yuan noticed the abnormality. Their expressions changed slightly, as if they were facing a great enemy.
“When did he disappear? I didn’t even notice it. ” Xu Qi ‘an closed his eyes and sensed for a while. He frowned and said, ”
“My divine sense is unaffected. If it had been swept away by something, I would have noticed it. Because since that thing is hostile to him, it will definitely be hostile to us as well.
and once hostility is generated, my divine instinct will quickly capture it and give me feedback.
Chu Yuanqian’s face was solemn as she analyzed, “”Not only that, there’s one less footstep, and we didn’t even notice? This is unusual in itself.”
Hengyuan frowned and did not say anything.
Golden Lotus Daoist’s heart skipped a beat. He took out the fragment of the book of the nether world and examined it for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “”The fragment of the Book of the Netherworld can’t be used anymore.”
Xu Qi. an, Chu Yuanqian, and Hengyuan all made the same action of taking something out of their clothes. However. the latter two successfully took out the fragments of the book of the nether world, while Xu Qi. an came to her senses in time. She stopped at the edge of the cliff and scratched her chest without any anger …
