There is no reason why some people are not frightened. They are coming to an unknown place this time, and any unknown place is an existence that countless people are fascinated by. Once word spreads, it will attract experts from all over the world to flock to it.
Wu Liang glanced at a few people with a strange look on his face, as if he didn't understand why they had such a big reaction: "There are many burial objects in the imperial mausoleum, and they are all extremely precious. What are they if they are not treasures?"
Everyone: "..."
Zu An didn't know whether he was telling the truth or pretending to be stupid, but he didn't have time to think about it so much now and just led him to another road.
The map previously obtained at Suihou's Tomb only roughly showed that the unknown place was in the imperial tomb, and the specific location was not marked.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that this map has probably existed longer than the imperial tomb of the demon clan. There was no imperial tomb at that time, so now that the surrounding terrain has changed, the map has naturally lost its meaning.
They can only find it themselves.
Along the way, several people searched around to see if there was anything special.
Wu Liang was like a fish in water, and plundered the burial objects in the ear room of the imperial mausoleum.
Most of them are gold and jade ornaments, and there are also some treasures made of high-grade primeval stones.
Seeing his greedy appearance, Zu An and others couldn't help but secretly sigh that they were worrying too much.
Yan Xuehen is proficient in the knowledge of formation runes. She has been investigating everywhere. Unfortunately, although she found some hidden mechanisms, they have nothing to do with the unknown place.
Soon, a group of people suddenly felt their eyes light up, and the space in front of them suddenly became cheerful.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little lost. At that moment, they thought they had left the imperial mausoleum.
Because there are sun, moon, stars, rivers, lakes and seas in front of me.
"This is..." Yun Jianyue opened her mouth in surprise.
Yuyanluo was shocked and explained: "This is a miniature version of the world's mountains and rivers."
She is good at painting, and her magic weapon is the "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Seas". She is very familiar with the mountains and rivers of the world, so she can recognize them at a glance.
"And it's still the territory of the heyday of the demon clan," Yun Jianyue sneered, "Now most of this vast territory has been taken over by the human race, and the demon clan is still living in a dream."
Wu Liang looked at him with a strange expression: "Is the girl a human or a demon? This position is a bit incorrect."
Yun Jianyue glanced at him coldly, Wu Liang shuddered all over and did not dare to ask again.
Zu An couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He had seen the sun, moon, stars, city, mountains, rivers and lakes in the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in the history books, but he didn't expect to see it in the Monster Clan's imperial mausoleum today.
At this time, Wu Liang looked at the sun, moon and stars in the sky with a look of excitement on his face: "These are at least heaven-level Yuanshi-level, maybe even immortal-level, and they are so big. Oh, if you pick them off, you will get rich."
Yan Xuehen said coldly: "These are made to look like the sun, moon and stars, and are surrounded by dense formations. If they are forcibly removed, it will definitely trigger an alarm in the imperial mausoleum, and no one will be able to survive by then."
"I know, I know, why don't you just tell me?" Wu Liang was a little depressed, with a look of heartache as if he had been to the treasure mountain but couldn't get there.
"There is such a big lake here." Yu Yanluo exclaimed, "Hey, it's still living water!"
Generally speaking, in order to keep the lakes and rivers in the mausoleum for a long time, they are usually replaced with mercury or the like. This will not only prevent decay for thousands of years, but also release poisonous gas to protect the mausoleum.
Several other people were also a little surprised and ran to check, and it turned out to be real water.
"I understand, the mausoleum is about hiding wind and gathering water, so water is very important, but ordinary people can't be as courageous as the Demon Emperor to find an endless water source on such a scale," Wu Liang explained, "The Golden Crow Royal Family belongs to fire, so it can be said that
It is the most rigid and the most yang. As the saying goes, the yang cannot grow alone and the yin cannot grow. Yin and yang must be reconciled. This water vein is used to mediate the yin and yang of the imperial mausoleum. Tsk tsk tsk. The person who designed this imperial tomb must be a genius...
…”
Wu Liang kept talking, and the people in Zuan were impressed. This guy really has some skills. The Chuanshan clan is truly an expert among experts when it comes to tomb robbing.
Yun Jianyue came close to Zu An and whispered: "Xiao Anzi, do you think the unknown place is hidden in this lake?"
Zu An nodded: "I also have this guess. Let's do this. I'll go down and take a look. Pay attention to Wu Liang."
He has the skill of a bluebird and is naturally close to water, so he is the most suitable candidate to go into the water.
"Don't worry, I'm just a fat Taoist priest, how can I not notice him?" Yun Jianyue snorted, "But you should be careful underwater."
Zu An originally wanted to remind her that there was something unusual about Wu Liang, but when she thought of her grand master's identity as Master Shen, he felt that he was too worried.
Soon he jumped directly into the water and started searching the bottom of the lake.
The other three women were waiting on the shore. Yun Jianyue didn't care on the surface, but in fact she was quietly monitoring Wu Liang, but the other party was very honest and didn't make the slightest move.
After a moment of burning incense, there was a ripple on the water surface, and then Zu An burst out of the water.
"How is it?" the three women asked hurriedly.
Zu An shook his head: "I searched all over it just now, and even checked the bottom of the lake. There are no secret doors or passages."
"What are you looking for?" Wu Liang asked curiously.
"It's none of your business." Yun Jianyue glared at him.
Wu Liang chuckled, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Where will it be? We have searched most of the imperial mausoleum just now." Yun Jianyue frowned.
At this time, Wu Liang next to him said quietly: "Although I don't know what you are looking for, there is a place in the imperial mausoleum that you have not looked for."
The minds of Zu An and others were moved. The only thing left was the place where the Golden Crow Crown Prince went to accept the trial of the heroic spirits of the previous demon kings. Unexpectedly, after going round and round, they would eventually have to face the most unwilling situation.
At this time, Wu Liang said again: "As far as I know, the prince should be in the imperial mausoleum hall, where there is a statue of the demon ancestor. The so-called trials of demon emperors in the past are actually just a gimmick."
Zu An looked strange: "You even know such confidential things?" Wu Liang chuckled and said: "We are in the business of going to graves, so we know more secrets than ordinary people."
Zu An discussed it with the three women and finally decided to go to the main hall to have a look.
On the way, Zu An thought, was it fate that he had to help the Little Demon Queen once?
The few people moved quickly, and along the way there were two masters, Wu Liang and Yan Xuehen, who were proficient in tomb robbing mechanisms and rune formations, so many dangers were eliminated in advance.
It didn't take long before we came to the corner of a corridor, and the bright firelight in front shone in.
Wu Liang whispered: "Ahead is the underground palace hall."
Zu An nodded and walked over calmly.
I saw an extremely grand hall inside, and the most eye-catching thing was the dark statue dozens of meters high at the top.
It looked like a human but not a human, like an animal but not an animal. It had the body of a bird and the head of a bird, its hands were like sharp claws, and there was a pair of dark wings on its back, as if it was about to fly.
The sharp beak and the special pupils in the eyes have a special murderous and ferocious meaning, like a giant beast from the wild.
Although the entire statue is a dead object, it exudes a hint of terrifying coercion. It is not at all inferior to the Demon Emperor I saw before, and is even more powerful.
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were shocked: "This statue is a bit weird!"
Yuyanluo asked quietly: "Is it possible that Yao Zuhai is still alive?"
"How is it possible? The Demon Ancestor existed millions of years ago, how is it possible that he is still alive now?" Yun Jianyue shook his head, "But this statue does seem to have the aura of the Demon Ancestor."
"Could it be that the demon emperors of all dynasties placed all the remaining souls of heroes on this statue? But how could this be possible?" Yan Xuehen said to himself, seeming to be stuck in an academic problem.
Zu An was looking at the situation in the palace, and saw a person in the center wearing a golden robe, and there was an arrogance in his movements. Who else could he be if he wasn't the Golden Crow Crown Prince?
Eighteen guards were scattered around the main hall to guard the side. Each warrior was elite and restrained. The lowest ones had ninth-level cultivation, but the highest ones did not surpass the Golden Crow Crown Prince.
To be brought here by the Golden Crow Prince, he is obviously a confidant among his confidants.
At this time, Prince Jinwu had already walked step by step under the statue of Demon Ancestor, with a look of excitement and admiration on his face.
"I am about to begin the trial. Guard the surrounding exits and do not allow anyone to approach and disturb me." Prince Jinwu ordered.
"Yes!" The eighteen guards replied angrily, and then stood guard at various locations around the perimeter in a tacit understanding. For example, a guard ran up to the passage where Zu An and the others were, scaring them so much that they hurriedly retreated.
They shrank their bodies, but fortunately each of them had extremely outstanding concealment skills, so they were not discovered.
Seeing all this, Prince Jinwu nodded with satisfaction, then opened his arms towards the statue of the Demon Ancestor, chanting a series of obscure syllables in his mouth.
The demon ancestor statue seemed to come to life, and its eyes brightened significantly.
