Chapter 293 God Tree
Situ Junhou is lying in the coffin again!
The same golden red coat, gold finger cots, and gold mask, exactly the same as before, as if nothing happened before!
Zhang Ya and Little Mute were also shocked.
"What...what's going on!" Long Xiaoman, who had always been calm, couldn't help but open his mouth and took two steps back.
I swallowed hard and took off Situ Junhou's mask again. The moment the mask was taken off, it was still Zhang Ya's face. A few seconds later, the entire body and clothes turned into fly ash.
I just felt my heart pounding. This tomb was so big. Situ Junhou's body had clearly disappeared before our eyes, then there were footsteps, and then it appeared inexplicably in the coffin.
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside, which was exactly the same as the one heard just now.
"who!"
I yelled angrily, and the doubts and nervousness in my heart turned into anger, and I rushed outside, but I still didn't see anything, and the rope was still dangling there alone.
At this time, footsteps came from the main tomb again, which was exactly the same as what we heard before. The three of us quickly turned around and rushed back, but we still didn't see anything.
An ominous omen suddenly surged in my heart. I held my breath and cautiously approached the coffin. When I saw the scene inside, my heart suddenly twitched hard.
Situ Junhou's body appeared in the jade coffin again!
"How is this going!"
I could no longer control my emotions, so I shouted loudly, raised the Netherworld Halberd, and prepared to cut into pieces the body of Situ Junhou along with the coffin.
"etc!"
The little mute suddenly said, "I probably know what happened!"
Long Xiaoman and I looked at the little mute at the same time. The little mute made a silent gesture toward us, and then pointed outside.
After a while, the little mute asked me to take off Situ Junhou's mask. I didn't know what the little mute had discovered, but I still did as she said.
The little mute is usually kind and virtuous and doesn't talk much. What she says at this time must have her own reasons.
The mask was lifted, and as expected, the body and clothes turned into ashes within a few seconds, exactly the same as before.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside again. This time, the little mute did not let us chase him out. Instead, he pursed his lips and said, "I know, the footsteps we heard were not others, but ourselves."
"
"ourselves……"
Halfway through the words, I suddenly realized it!
Exactly the same voice, exactly the same scene, we are now trapped in a cycle of time, constantly repeating the scene at a certain moment!
"This is Lord Situ scolding us for being disrespectful to her. Let's bow to her!"
The little mute said, took a few steps back, knelt down gently on the ground, kowtowed three times respectfully towards the coffin of Lord Situ, and said, "Senior Situ, we, the juniors, do not mean to offend, but we have heavy responsibilities and have no choice but to do so."
To do this, I ask Senior Situ to show your noble hand."
Long Xiaoman and I quickly followed the little mute and knelt on the ground to bow three times to Situ Junhou's coffin.
After what we did last night, we looked into the coffin again and found that there was nothing inside except a small yellow paper figure the size of a palm.
The little mute looked at this little paper figure and said, "It seems that Senior Situ has forgiven us."
Long Xiaoman twisted the little paper man and looked at it carefully for a while, "It turns out that what we saw before was all fantasy. This is not the main tomb of Senior Situ at all."
As she said that, she gently blew the little paper figurine, and it immediately burned. At the same time, all the gold and silver treasures around it disappeared.
It turns out that all this is an illusion!
I was still wondering before, the tomb of Situ Junhou was so easy to enter, and I never encountered any traps. It turned out that the real trap was this little paper figure in the coffin.
But this mechanism is much more powerful than ordinary mechanisms. It is estimated that if it were not for a few of us, ordinary tomb robbers would fall into an infinite loop of time and be trapped to death even if they got here.
Of course, I also know that it is not our ability to crack this mechanism so easily. Situ Junhou must also know the purpose of our coming here. Those fantasies just now are just a small punishment for us.
When the illusion of everything in the entire tomb disappeared, the jade coffin turned into an ordinary sarcophagus. With a clicking sound, the sarcophagus began to sink slowly.
"Hurry up, Senior Situ is here to show us the way!" Long Xiaoman said quickly, then jumped into the sarcophagus, followed closely by Little Mute and I.
As the sarcophagus sank, there was a sudden rumbling sound all around, and the seemingly integrated surface separated into squares and then regrouped.
About five minutes later, the sarcophagus sank into a larger space underground. In the center of the space was an octagonal jade step. In the center of the jade step was a jade tree-like thing more than half a meter high.
"Qinling Sacred Tree!"
Long Xiaoman exclaimed, and just as he was about to go over, a wild beast's roar suddenly sounded in the space.
Roar--
The sound was as loud as thunder, and the sound wave was mixed with huge mysterious energy, which knocked several of us to the ground in one fell swoop.
Immediately afterwards, a monster with a head like a lion, a body like a snake, and two wings like blades emerged from a cave on the edge of the stone platform.
This monster is at least seven or eight meters tall, with two blood-red eyes that are as round as two lanterns.
As soon as we got up from the ground, the monster roared again and knocked us to the ground.
My heart suddenly became tense. If the first time it knocked us over without taking precautions, it could still be explained.
But the second time, I used all my strength, but I was as weak as tofu in front of this monster.
Roar--
The monster roared for the third time, and a larger wave of air with a huge force rushed over. Before we could get up from the ground, we felt as if our chests had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and our bodies were pressed against each other.
After landing on the ground, he was ejected backwards and hit the stone wall behind him hard.
I felt a sweet sensation in my throat and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The monster only used three roars to beat us three heaven-level masters until they were unable to fight back.
Chichi——
The monster blew out two streams of white steam from its nostrils, and then slowly moved its huge lion head towards us.
I instinctively rushed toward Long Xiaoman and Little Mute, protecting the two girls behind me.
The monster opened its maw, revealing a pair of sharp teeth that were intertwined like blades. At this moment, Zhang Ya's voice suddenly came, "Lele, stop quickly, they are my friends!"
The monster's big mouth had already bitten less than one meter in front of me. After hearing these words, it quickly retreated.
Zhang Ya also walked out of the cave, looked at the monster and said angrily, "Lele, you almost killed my friend!"
After listening to Zhang Ya's words, the monster made a whining sound and suddenly shrank its body, finally turning into a small animal the size of a lizard and lying on Zhang Ya's shoulder.
Zhang Ya walked towards us with a smile, "How about it, my new friend is awesome!"
"Zhang Ya, what's going on!"
The scene just now left me confused, but seeing Zhang Ya safe and sound, a big stone fell from my heart.
Zhang Ya turned her head to look at the gadget lying on its shoulder, and then said to us, "It's a long story. When I just came down, Lele took it away."
"Lele..."
I was confused. Looking at the gecko-sized gizmo on Zhang Ya’s shoulder, I felt that I couldn’t relate it to the monster just now.
The most puzzling thing is, how could this gadget with unfathomable power know Zhang Ya? And judging from its appearance, it seems like it is following Zhang Yayan's instructions.
Zhang Ya raised her chin and said, "Lele is a god-level fairy beast. When I was first kidnapped by it, I thought I was finished. But not only did Lele not hurt me, but she also used her spiritual consciousness to communicate with me. What did she say?
Wait for me, I was its master."
As she spoke, she said with some pride, "Lele also told me that in a certain life of mine, I was the owner of this tomb, Situ Junhou. Lele said that I was the most beautiful woman in the world at that time. After my death in that life, Lele has always been
Here are the guardians of the mausoleum.”
I was secretly amazed after hearing this, but I didn't have time to worry about it now. I looked at the half-meter-high green tree on the jade steps and said, "Is this the Qinling Sacred Tree?"
Zhang Ya nodded, then frowned and said, "It's just that Lele said that in order to activate the Qinling Sacred Tree, the Eye of Qinling is necessary, but it didn't tell me where the Eye of Qinling is."
"Eye of Qinling?"
I approached the Qinling Sacred Tree and saw a small circular groove on the top of the sacred tree. Just when I was wondering what the Eye of Qinling was, I suddenly felt something in my arms that shocked me.
I instinctively covered it on a round object, and then a thought flashed through my mind, and I suddenly took out the small round dark blue ball in my arms.
I saw that this raw blue ball had turned into emerald green at this time, and lit up like a night pearl, emitting circles of dark green light waves around, as gorgeous as ripples.
Judging from the size, it just matches the groove on the Qinling Sacred Tree.
This...could this be the Eye of Qinling?
This thing was given to me by the God of Thunder before he died. He said he had a big secret to tell me. Could it be that the secret of the God of Thunder was the sacred tree of Qinling Mountains?
At this time, the gadget lying on Zhang Ya's shoulder suddenly rubbed against Zhang Ya's ear, and Zhang Ya's brows suddenly widened, "Lele said that the thing in your hand is the Eye of Qinling!"
After listening to this, I didn't know whether I was nervous or happy. My hands were trembling and I gently put the Eye of Qinling into the groove.
At this moment, the Qinling Sacred Tree suddenly emitted a burst of dazzling light, and then began to slowly rotate, faster and faster, and finally formed a spiral vortex. A small black hole slowly enlarged from the center, and finally formed a
A black hole the size of a water tank.
