When other cultivators saw Tianshi Ma taking the initiative to greet a celestial master with four scriptures, their eyes were different for a while, and they kept guessing in their hearts.
Many people have speculated whether Nie Wei is a descendant of Ma Tianshi, or the child of a friend. In short, the two must have friendship.
"This time everyone's task is to find those missing staff members from this tomb. As long as you find them, you will be rewarded with 500% of the reward, and you will not lose any of them." Long Feiyun looked deeply. everyone.
"Captain Long, we already know the content of this mission, don't worry, we will definitely bring him back."
"Leave it to us, you can rest assured!" The cultivators rushed to promise.
Long Feiyun responded lightly, then turned and left, leading Ma Tianshi to the front of another group of people.
"Who are those people over there?" Nie Wei turned slightly and asked Qi Lei.
"Those are all celestial masters above Qilu. Their task this time is different from ours. We are just looking for someone. Their task should be to clean up the ancient tomb." Of course, this cleaning cannot be cleaning up garbage, but cleaning up the tomb. ghosts.
Nie Wei nodded understandingly.
After Long Feiyun explained the task, everyone could start to act.
A group of ten of them entered the tomb together toward a hole that had been dug somewhere.
This is one of the entrances to the tomb. At this time, a group of archaeologists entered from another entrance, which was a safe entrance that had been inspected by the Long Group.
And those archaeologists didn't know that at the other entrance, a group of special people was gathering to clean up the ghosts in the tomb.
A group of people entered the tomb, and the tomb was pitch-black. Each of them held a flashlight to explore the way by the light of the flashlight.
After entering the tomb passage, Nie Wei found many strange murals on both sides of the tomb passage.
There are strange animals painted on these murals, as well as portraits with cat faces. These patterns make people feel unspeakably weird.
"Qi Lei, do you have any news about this ancient tomb?" Nie Wei held a flashlight and looked at these strange murals by the light, feeling a little curious about this ancient tomb.
"I do know something about this ancient tomb." Qi Lei was also looking at these murals, and he seemed to speak casually.
Although the celestial masters around did not speak, they all listened with their ears upright.
"The owner of this tomb should be a princess from a small country called Yuling Kingdom more than two thousand years ago."
"Yu Ling Country?" Nie Wei thought about it for a while, and made sure that he had never heard of this country.
"What kind of country is this Yuling country? How can there be such a strange mural?"
"In Yuling Kingdom, they regard cats as their national animals. They believe that cats are the messengers of gods and can hear the voice of gods. In Yuling Kingdom, only nobles are eligible to raise cats.
Being able to have one's own cat in Yuling Kingdom is a symbol of identity and status. "
Cats are angels? This is the first time Nie Wei has heard of this statement.
"Look at these murals. This woman with a cat face is actually the princess of Yuling Kingdom. The body belongs to the princess. As for the head, it should be the head of the cat raised by the princess." Qi Lei pointed at one of them with a flashlight. vice fresco said.
"This Yuling Kingdom is really weird, why put a cat's head on the princess's body!" Zhou Yong said while touching the mural and stroking his chin.
"These small countries are originally barbarian lands, and it's not surprising that they have any weird customs." Tang Qing said from the side.
"In Yuling Kingdom, being able to become one with your own cat is a supreme honor." Qi Lei said.
Although he really couldn't see that this kind of glory had any practical significance.
"Then is there any special significance for them to make such a painting?" Nie Wei looked back and forth between several murals.
"In the legend of Yuling Kingdom, cats are messengers leading to the God Realm, and only those who own cats can have the qualification to go to the God Realm after death.
And those who don't have cats will fall into endless reincarnation after death, and will never be detached. The meaning of this painting should be that cats and their princesses become one, and then go to the gods together.
Take a look at the last mural. In this mural, the princess stands on the stairs leading to the God Realm, stepping forward step by step. At the top is the legendary gate of the God Realm. "Qi Lei pointed to the last mural and said.
Everyone shook their heads, feeling that the imagination of this small country is really extraordinary. If you can enter the God Realm by raising a cat, then what do these people spend so much effort to cultivate? It would be better if you just raise a cat.
No longer interested in those murals, everyone continued to move forward.
Walking to a corner of the tomb passage, everyone found a two large stone gates engraved with the pattern of cats opening.
A celestial master walked in front and pushed open the stone door with both hands.
Behind the stone gate is a square stone room, and although the stone room is very large, there is only one sarcophagus, and the cat pattern is also engraved on the sarcophagus, especially on the lid of the sarcophagus, there is a five or six-year-old child size of a cat.
The cat looks very animated, and the eyes are colored with different paints.
One eye is blue and the other is yellow.
This cat looks very realistic, just like the real thing.
Nie Wei and others surrounded the sarcophagus.
"Do you want to open it and have a look?" A celestial master asked.
"Open it, of course it must be opened!" Tang Qing said bluntly from the side.
"Our task is to find someone, why open it!" A female celestial master didn't want to be too busy.
"Of course it has to be opened, what if someone is locked in the sarcophagus!" Zhou Yong said immediately.
"That's right, my old Zhou is right. What if there are still people locked in there waiting for us to rescue them? We can't just ignore death!" Tang Qing was of course on her husband's side.
With the couple Zhou Yong and Tang Qing on the sidelines, it is very unlikely that the sarcophagus will not be opened.
Everyone finally decided to open the coffin.
It's just that this kind of ancient curtain that is more than a thousand years old is very likely to produce a zongzi, and what awaits them is another fierce battle.
Everyone get ready, if the zongzi really comes out, they will be able to fight with ten people together.
Zhou Yong and Tang Qing volunteered to take over the job of opening the coffin.
The others stepped back and braced themselves for a fight.
But when the sarcophagus was opened and everyone stepped forward to check, they found that there was only one skeleton in view, and it was not a human skeleton, but a cat skeleton.
"It's just a cat, and they made a tomb by themselves, and made such a big sarcophagus. The people of Yuling Kingdom are really busy and tired." Tang Qing looked like I took off my trousers, and you actually showed me this Looking at the cat corpse in the coffin.
"Move the sarcophagus back, let's look elsewhere." Qi Lei said.
Since there are no clues here, and they don't want to stay here any longer, everyone unanimously decided to look elsewhere... (End of this chapter)
