Hou Tang, who was sitting cross-legged on the wooden post, showed an evil look on his face, stared at Jiang Chen and said, "Tell me again, who do you want to see?"
"Dakai."
Jiang Chen said the name Ling told him without thinking.
"Are you kidding me?"
Hou Tang's wrinkled face trembled slightly.
"I'm not kidding."
Jiang Chen curled his lips and said, "I really want to see Daqi."
"I don't know where you heard that name."
Hou Tang drooped his wrinkled eyelids and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "But what I want to tell you is that Daqi is the name of the distant ancestor of my tribe. Are you sure you want to see him?"
"That's right, I see it's your distant ancestor!"
Jiang Chen didn't think Ling Hui was joking with him. She said she would know him if he knew him.
As soon as these words came out, not only Hou Tang's body trembled slightly, but the kneeling bald man also widened his eyes.
He shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? Chief, please let me kill this person!"
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frowned, was there something wrong? Why did he want to kill himself?
Hou Tang ignored the bald man. He looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression and said, "Do you know that the ancestor of Da Qi has been sleeping in the mausoleum for tens of thousands of years?"
Jiang Chen suddenly realized.
Yes, since he is a distant ancestor, how can he still be alive now? He is not a god, demon or beast.
"Ling, what's going on?"
He quickly asked in his mind.
"Daqi is not dead, or not completely dead."
Ling explained: "His body is dead, but his soul is still there."
After hearing this answer, Jiang Chen hesitated for two seconds and then said: "He is not dead."
"What nonsense!"
At this time, a high-pitched voice sounded like a phoenix.
The sound was so loud and sharp that it seemed to pierce people's eardrums!
Jiang Chen immediately turned around and looked.
Outside the gate, I saw a big bird that was taller than the gate standing not far away.
It has a fan-shaped golden crest on its head, is covered in bright red feathers, and has long golden tail feathers trailing from its tail.
It looks majestic and impressive.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are two pupils in both eyes, and there is a shimmering light inside.
The information shows that it is called [Chongming Bird·Gui].
As for the level and grade, all you can see are question marks.
At this time, its eyes and four pupils were all fixed on Jiang Chen.
"Brother Chongmingniao, what I said is all the truth."
Jiang Chen quickly said,
The next second, the Chongming Bird stretched out an extremely strong golden claw, passed through the gate, and quickly grabbed Jiang Chen!
"Lord Gui!"
At this time, Hou Tang stood up from the wooden stake and shouted.
"Chief Houtang, why did you stop me?"
The Chongming Bird retracted its sharp claws and made a loud sound from its mouth.
"This young man knows the name of his distant ancestor and also said he wanted to see him. Maybe it's not all lies."
Hou Tang looked at Jiang Chen with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Of course everything I said is true!"
Jiang Chen immediately opened his mouth and said.
"Then let me ask you, how do you know the distant ancestor Daqi?"
Hou Tang asked in a deep voice.
At this time, the voice of the spirit sounded.
Jiang Chen repeated his words: "I met him."
"Lots of nonsense!"
A loud voice came from outside the door: "Master has been with me for most of his life, why haven't I seen you?!"
This is the Chongming bird talking.
"The owner of the Chongming Bird is Daqi?"
Jiang Chen looked surprised, and then said in his heart: "Ling, why don't you show up, maybe Chongmingniao knows you?"
"It doesn't know me. When I met Daqi once, he was just a child and there was no Chongming Bird around him."
Ling replied.
"Why don't you speak?"
Chongmingniao’s voice sounded again: “You dare not answer after I exposed the lie?”
"When I met Daqi, he was still a child, so of course you have never seen me."
Jiang Chen repeated Ling's words.
"Haven't you lived for tens of thousands of years?"
Chongmingniao didn't believe it at all, and his words were sarcastic.
"I said, as long as I see Daqi, the truth will be revealed."
Jiang Chen said patiently.
"The master is dead!"
Chongmingniao said angrily.
"His soul is still there."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, the audience suddenly fell into silence.
Hou Tang's eyes were full of shock, doubt, and a trace of hope!
The Chongming Bird fell into a sluggish state, its four pupils motionless, as if they were petrified.
Several minutes passed.
Hou Tangcai asked in a deep voice: "Is this true?"
"As long as you enter the mausoleum, you can see Daqi's soul."
This is what Ling just said to Jiang Chen, and he repeated it.
"No!"
Chongmingniao immediately shouted: "I promised to guard the tomb for my master, and I will never let you enter the tomb based on your words. If you have other plans, I will be ashamed of my master!"
Jiang Chen could tell that Chongmingniao had extremely deep feelings for Daqi.
He thought for two seconds and said slowly: "Don't you want to see Da Qi again?"
As soon as these words came out, the four pupils of Chongmingniao visibly trembled.
It hesitated.
It really wanted to say the word "think" in its heart.
"You can enter the mausoleum."
At this time, an old voice came from outside the door: "But if you can't see the soul of Daqi's distant ancestor, you can stay inside forever."
I saw an old man about seventy or eighty years old walking in.
He wore animal skins, held a wooden staff, and had many ornaments made of animal bones.
On his forehead, there is a black totem similar to Hou Tang.
The information shows that his name is [Tong Jie].
"prophet."
Hou Tang respectfully shouted to the visitor.
"Um."
Tong Jie nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Chen.
"no problem!"
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
"How is it, Lord Gui?"
Tong Jie looked at the Chongming Bird.
"Since you said it, let's do what you said."
After the Chongming Bird finished speaking, it flapped its wings and disappeared outside the door.
"Follow me into the tomb."
Tong Jie glanced at Jiang Chen, turned around and walked out of the door.
Hou Tang also walked out immediately.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen followed closely behind.
…………
When he arrived at the mausoleum, it was already half an hour later.
Ahead is a hill, with a huge stone door located on the hillside.
The Chongming Bird stands in front of this stone door.
At the same time, the tribe chief Houtang and the prophet Tongjie both came here.
In addition to the two of them, there were about twenty or thirty people who also came here. They were all elders of the tribe.
Immediately, the stone door opened wide.
Jiang Chen walked in with everyone.
After passing through a long and dim corridor, a huge stone chamber appeared in front of you.
The walls here are glowing with fluorescence.
You can see that there is a stone platform in the middle.
There was a corpse lying quietly above.
Yes, this is a picture of bones.
Apart from that, there is nothing.
Not to mention the soul, Jiang Chen didn't even feel the slightest energy fluctuation.
"Meet the distant ancestors!"
At this time, Houtang and Tongjie, as well as the twenty or thirty elders, all knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
And they pray one prayer after another.
Jiang Chen kept looking around, and the more he looked around, the more panicked he became: "Ling, is this Daqi's soul gone?"
"Don't panic, just knock on the corpse's bones a few times and his soul will appear."
