Shang Zhongtian whispered: "I tiptoed, walking in the cold and dry tunnel. On both sides were fist-sized night pearls that had been shining for I don't know how many years. The faint blue light could only illuminate my figure, not even my facial features. I always felt like someone was watching me.
He looked at me and made my hair stand on end, but when I turned around I didn't find anything. At that time I just thought it was an illusion."
"I followed the light through the rugged passage and came to the main tomb at the core."
"The size of the main tomb is so shocking that I forgot for a moment that this is a dark and terrifying tomb."
Shang Zhongtian closed his eyes and paused, seeming to recall every detail of the scene he saw at that time. After recalling, he slowly spoke: "I have never seen such a large-scale tomb. The ceiling of the cave is as high as the sky. Under the sky,
, the terracotta warriors holding sharp bronze spears loyally guard their masters, and the dazzling array of funerary objects are all displayed in a Bagua formation, which coincides with the order of heaven."
"The ancient corpse has been dead for hundreds of years, but the terrifying fluctuations it emits through the coffin still make my heart palpitate, as if the old monster Nascent Soul is not dead, but is just asleep and may wake up at any time."
"Hesitating is not my character. I made a prompt decision and took away half of the funerary objects. Just as I was about to leave, footsteps were heard not far away. The footsteps echoed in the empty tomb, making people shudder."
"Then I encountered a terrifying situation that I have never encountered in all my years in the industry."
Having said this, Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye leaned forward without hesitation, wanting to hear the follow-up.
Shang Zhongtian showed an extremely painful expression, and his voice trembled: "I met the descendant of the Nascent Soul stage who came to worship the ancestor!"
"What?" Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye heard clearly, but they didn't react.
"Those people brought sacrifices and magic weapons to worship their ancestors, praying for the longevity of the family, the emergence of geniuses in large numbers, and success in the exams. On the way to worship, they noticed that I was stealing from the tomb, so they swarmed up and captured me.
It was so scary at the time, and I still have cold sweat on my forehead when I think about it.”
"...I think people's reactions are quite normal." Lu Yang told the truth. If your family didn't hack you to death on the spot, you were considered well-mannered.
"Is this the great terror you are talking about?" Tao Yaoye asked.
Shang Zhongtian scratched his head, not understanding the reaction of the two people: "Yes, digging a tomb and encountering the descendants of the tomb owner, is there anything more terrifying than this?"
"Then what?"
"Then I was beaten up, which reduced my level from the peak of Qi training to the middle of Qi training. I was sent to prison. The government asked me to pay for all the things I had stolen before. I was imprisoned for another ten years. After I was released from prison,
I decided to wash my hands of myself, start a new life, and no longer touch these issues of right and wrong."
"to be honest."
"I'm too embarrassed to meet my colleagues."
"..."
Shang Zhongtian was so sincere that neither of them knew what to say.
After Shang Zhongtian personally buried the skinless body of Butler Zhang, he invited Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye to stay one night before leaving, but Tao Yaoye refused.
If it weren't for the purpose of luring the Painted Skin Ghost into action, Tao Yaoye would not have chosen to stay overnight. Traveling at night would not be difficult for the two of them in the foundation building stage.
Before leaving, Lu Yang found Shang Yuan again and touched the parrot's head.
If Taiping Township had not mistaken the parrot for a monster, there would have been no chance of coming to Shang's house to deal with the Painted Skin Ghost.
"This parrot is not bad. Maybe it is really a monster. Please train it well."
Shang Yuan was shocked and quickly asked the reason.
"The early stage strength of the monsters is very vague, and it is difficult to distinguish them from wild beasts. I can't tell the difference between A, B, C and D."
"However, when Xiaolu left your home, he did not fly far away. Instead, he kept flying in Taiping Township. He also knew that your home was in danger and did not go near your home. Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was a harbinger of opening up his spiritual wisdom. I can't say that.
allow."
Lu Yang smiled and said nothing more.
Shang Zhongtian felt that the reception was not good enough. The two of them had saved the lives of twelve members of the Shang family. All he could tell was the story of his retirement.
"This is my experience in tomb robbing. If you two don't dislike it, why don't you accept it? Maybe you will need it sometime." Shang Zhongtian took out a blue linear book from his arms and gave it to the two of them.
Lu Yang accepted it politely, and then the two waved goodbye.
On the way back, Lu Yang asked: "Do you want this book on tomb robbing?"
Taoyaoye shook her head. She didn't rob tombs, so what did she want with this thing?
Lu Yang also felt that it was of no use, but he still put it away.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you put poison in my room?" Tao Yaoye was very worried about this.
Fortunately, as a feathered immortal body, she has extremely high resistance to all poisons, otherwise, wouldn't she have athlete's foot like Butler Zhang?
Is it realistic for a beautiful girl to have athlete's foot?
Lu Yang shrugged. He naturally put the poison after knowing that it was harmless to Taoyao Ye: "I told you."
"when?"
"Use your eyes while eating."
"So you can't reach the food, so you want me to hand you a plate?"
"I'm not such a superficial person."
The two successfully returned to Taoism. By coincidence, Meng Jingzhou had just completed his mission and was complaining to the senior brother who issued the mission.
"Junior Brother Meng Jingzhou, your task is quite simple. Why did the fox demon complain that you have an attitude problem and are unwilling to cooperate with her?" This senior brother was a little strange. He only provided a book of dual cultivation exercises. How could there be any attitude problem?
?
"Senior brother, you need to check that fox demon. There must be something wrong. You said that I was the one who provided the dual cultivation technique in the past. She actually asked for inspection and wanted to practice the dual cultivation technique with me to see if it was true or not."
Meng Jingzhou said angrily: "If I hadn't been able to break the pure Yang body, I would have practiced with her!"
I don’t know whether he was angry that he was a pure Yang body and missed an encounter, or whether he was angry that the fox demon underestimated his desire to seek truth.
Seeing that the senior brother who issued the mission also had a helpless look on his face, Lu Yang stepped forward to rescue him: "Senior brother, the two of us have completed the task of dealing with the monsters."
Lu Yang explained in detail how the people of Taiping Township mistook a parrot for a talking monster, and how he and Tao Yaoye exposed their flaws to lure Painted Skin Ghost into action and then were solved.
At the end of the day, Lu Yang handed over the ashes of Painted Skin Ghost to his senior brother.
"You have done a great job in completing the mission for the first time. You are very good." The senior brother looked at Lu Yang with admiration. When he released the mission, he thought it was very simple, but he did not expect that there was a hidden secret behind it.
He was even more impressed when he heard that Lu Yang had poisoned him right and quickly resolved the battle. If he hadn't been poisoned, it would have taken a lot of effort to subdue the Painted Skin Ghost, and there was no way he could have escaped.
The most important thing is that this junior brother carries the poison of athlete's foot with him. The senior brother thought about this and quietly sat a little further away.
"The two of you have overfulfilled the task. Your original contribution points have been quadrupled and you will get 120 contribution points. Junior Sister Taoyao Ye, you played a supporting role in this task and you will get 90 contribution points."
Tao Yaoye had no objection. Lu Yang played a vital role in this mission, and she was the bait.
