The next day.
In the early morning, after a night's rest, Master Gui Teng and his companions, led by Matu, the chief of the Wu clan, arrived at Houyi's tomb.
In the void ahead, I saw two huge stone doors ten feet high standing upright, with nothing to support them on either side, just like two lonely door panels standing in front.
Shen Luo took a look through the vision of Master Gui Teng, and saw a carving of a graceful woman wearing a golden crown on the stone gate on the left. She was dancing, her clothes fluttering, her hands raised high, holding a round sun in her palms.
On the other side of the stone door, there is a corresponding carving of another slender goddess in palace dress, with the same graceful dancing posture, the same fluttering sleeves, and the same hands raised, but with a crescent moon in the palms.
Naturally, everyone present could see at a glance that the two doors were carved with the goddesses Xihe and Wangshu.
"Warriors, behind the Sun and Moon Divine Gate in front of you is Houyi's mausoleum. Before you go in, I have to remind you again that it is very dangerous in there. If you do not have enough wisdom and courage, it is best to stop here and do not throw your life in vain." Matu leaned slightly towards them and said.
"Thank you for the warning, Chief. We are determined to break through the barrier, retrieve the artifact, and contribute to the peace of the Three Realms." Tao Xiang said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's a waste to put treasures like that in the mausoleum." Liu Hong and Li Biao agreed.
"Since the clan leader has been guarding this place for many years, he must know something about the conditions of the mausoleum pass. Why not tell us something?" Tian Sanqi bowed to Matu and said.
The others also looked at the patriarch. It was obvious that everyone was still very concerned about the answer to this question.
“It’s not a secret that cannot be told, so I’ll tell you. There are two main test gates in Houyi’s mausoleum, namely the Soul-Birth Gate and the Soul-Death Gate. Once you step into the mausoleum, you will encounter various life and death tests in the mausoleum. Only by defeating and smashing the Soul-Birth Pillars and Soul-Death Pillars inside one by one can you pass.” Matu put one hand on his chest, returned the salute, and said.
"After clearing the level, can we get the treasure?" Li Biao asked quickly with his eyes shining.
"That's right. This is a double test of wisdom and courage. Only true wise men and brave men are worthy of inheriting the treasure of the great god Houyi." Matu said with pride on his face.
Shen Luo just listened quietly to the conversation of the crowd, without letting Master Gui Teng speak, and just occasionally observed the changes in the expressions of the other people.
"My fellow warriors, now that you all have the belief and awareness of victory, you can start your adventure now." Matu bowed and raised his hand to make a "please" gesture.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and no one stepped forward to take the lead.
In the end, Taoxiang winked at Li Biao, and the latter walked to the two doors.
"Just push it open with force?" He turned to look at the Witch Clan leader and confirmed again.
The patriarch shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not only do you need to use your strength, but you also need to use your heart and faith..."
Hearing this, Li Biao rolled his eyes, cursed in his heart, walked forward, pressed the two doors with both hands, felt his palms slightly cold, and then pushed hard inside.
