The Ashmis cemetery is in a remote corner of Icefield City, half on flat ground and half on a hillside. The stone house where Father Lanmu appears in Tian Lai's novel is located at the junction of flat land and hillside, and is the center of the entire cemetery.
The cold wind howled, and the snow blown from the top of the mountain was flying in the air. The place was dead silent. The footprints left by Lan Mu's father last night had been buried by the snow, but Xia Lei had already seen his footprints through the snow. There are only footsteps entering the stone house, and no footsteps leaving.
"He's still here? But I can't see him." Xia Lei felt strange. While walking, he once again awakened the ability to sense psychic energy from the ancient bloodline of Ashimis. His new ability can sense and capture even the soul energy remaining in the air. If Father Lanmu is still here, then the soul energy released by his soul will definitely be sensed and captured by him. , and then determine his location.
However, the energy of sensing spiritual energy has weakened somewhat, and Xia Lei can feel its weakening. This didn't surprise him at all. Lanjier's milk had a rapidly increasing "medicinal effect" on him, like a stimulant. As her ancestor, the skull powder of Saint King Lanling obviously also has this "medicinal effect", but it is only for sensing psychic energy.
Even though his ability to perceive spiritual energy was weakened, Xia Lei could still clearly see the soul energy left by Lan Mu in the stone house. His soul energy was condensed into his appearance, and his face and body were still clear. His butt is very fat, his belly is also very fat, and his body shape has long been out of shape.
It was a really strange feeling to see my father-in-law's naked body.
There is an altar in the stone house, and a smaller statue of the sky god is placed on the altar. It's just a statue of a god. Ashimis worships gods differently from humans. There is no scented wax paper money or anything like that. Instead, there are many small dents on the stone-paved floor that are alive with knees.
Father Lanmu looked straight at the statue in the sky with straight eyes.
This is the first time Xia Lei has observed the residual energy of a soul up close. He has always been curious, because taking Father Lanmu as an example, Father Lanmu walked out from home and walked such a long distance. , if you look at it from a theoretical point of view, then the spiritual energy released by his soul will be everywhere, but there is none on the road, but it is only here
The answer soon emerged.
A trace of spiritual energy was gathering from all directions. It was very weak, but Xia Lei still sensed and captured it. Those soul energies were released by Father Lanmu's soul. They gathered automatically and then condensed into human form.
This is the answer. If every step he takes releases a unit of energy that can be condensed into a human form, that person would probably be dead long ago. When a person stays in a certain place for a long time, the energy released by the soul will gather and form a shape with ontological characteristics. This seems to be the ghost from ghost stories, but it's just a ball of energy that can't do anything and disappears.
Xia Lei stretched out his hand to touch the soul energy condensed into the shape of Lan Mu's father. His hand touched nothing, and it was no different from sweeping the air. His hands dispersed the soul energy, but the soul energy quickly gathered together and re-condensed into the appearance of Father Lanmu.
Suddenly, a trace of soul energy floated out from behind the statue, and then joined the figure of Father Lanmu.
Xia Lei's eyes immediately locked onto the statue of the God of the Sky. His left eye twitched slightly, and his sight instantly penetrated the statue. Behind the statue is actually a secret door, and behind the secret door is a staircase, looking down toward the ground. There was no light and the stairs were dark. His clairvoyant vision expanded into the darkness, but he saw nothing. It's too deep. However, he sensed more of Lan Mu's soul energy.
Father Lanmu is down there, and he’s still alive!
This discovery made Xia Lei breathe a long sigh of relief. If Lan Mu's father fell into the hands of Lan Yueren, if Lan Yueren used Lan Mu's father to blackmail Lan Jier into submission, she really had no choice. , and he will also fall into an extremely passive situation. However, after relaxing, Xia Lei could not help but reveal a wry smile, "You guy, did you take advantage of last night's carnival and the nobles' escape to rob the tomb? If so, you are really a naughty person. My father-in-law. Well, if there is an ancient tomb down there, whose ancient tomb would it be?"
Two minutes later, the statue of the God of the Sky was pushed away. Xia Lei got into the secret door behind the statue, then entered the stairs and walked down.
The stairs went down and then laterally.
Although Xia Lei's eyes cannot see in absolute darkness, the power of his brand is his eyes. As the energy field of his brand power pushes forward, all the images of his environment will appear in his brain, so clear that he can even "see" the lines of the stone bricks used to build the passage!
When he has evolved to this level, it actually doesn't matter whether he has eyes or not, because eyes can "see" things, which are ultimately presented in the brain. Eyes themselves cannot outline the shape and color of objects.
The passage extended deep into the mountain. Xia Lei saw the end of the passage after walking a few hundred meters.
At the end of the passage is a stone door, a blue rock stone door.
Xia Lei also saw his father-in-law, Lan Mu's father still stretched out his hands to push the door open. There were several mummies beside him, their clothes had weathered, leaving only skinny and boneless corpses, which was particularly gruesome.
Seeing Lan Mu's father and the blue stone door, Xia Lei immediately understood what was going on. Just yesterday, he pushed through a stone door like this and almost fell into a trap. Although this stone door is much smaller than the blue stone door under the Sky Temple, it is only one-fifth the size. But even if it is only one-fifth the size, even if the power is reduced to one-fifth, it is definitely not something that Father Lanmu can bear.
Father Lanmu's soul energy was released in a frightening way, constantly flowing out. He stood in front of the door, his hands on the stone door, and kept pushing the door open. If he hadn't been able to sense that his soul was still active, Xia Lei might have thought that he was dead.
Xia Lei didn't dare to delay any longer. He rushed over and hugged Lan Mu's waist. The moment he hugged Father Lanmu's waist, a hallucination suddenly appeared in his mind. It was a huge skeleton, swinging a rusty machete towards him, as if trying to chop his head off from his neck.
However, Xia Lei was mentally prepared. He didn't even pay attention to the skeleton, let alone dodge. He just hugged Father Lanmu's waist tightly.
The huge skeleton swung its knife and slashed Xia Lei's neck, but Xia Lei's head did not fall to the ground.
"Let's go!" Xia Lei shouted, kicked off the stone door with both feet, and fell back with Father Lanmu.
boom!
Xia Lei and Lan Mu's father fell on the passage together. Xia Lei got up in a flash, but Lan Mu's father was still lying on the ground with his hands raised as if he was holding something.
Father Lanmu obviously hasn't come out of the hallucination yet.
Xia Lei sent a trace of the branding power into Father Lanmu's brain, trying to wake him up. However, Father Lanmu's brain itself was in a very active state, and the power of the brand he sent in was of no use. Just when he was anxious, the trace of energy in the cosmic imprint suddenly trembled, and flew out from the cosmic imprint like a silk thread, leaving his brain and plunging into Father Lanmu's head. in the brain.
As soon as that trace of energy with mysterious runes entered Lan Mu's brain, it felt like a warm stream of water washing away all the dirt and germs. Almost at the same time, Father Lanmu suddenly groaned and then opened his eyes.
That trace of energy with mysterious runes left Lan Mu's brain and returned to Xia Lei's cosmic imprint. This process happened too fast, but every detail of this process was under Xia Lei's control. His heart was filled with horror. He had not thought that a trace of energy with mysterious runes could have such ability. Looking back now, he was able to get rid of the terrifying hallucination just now, and I'm afraid it had something to do with that trace of energy with mysterious runes.
This discovery made Xia Lei even more certain that the energy with the mysterious runes had similar abilities to the Queen of Rest. If it is powerful enough, he can transfer his soul to a new body without relying on the help of Queen of Rest!
"Son-in-law, you..." Father Lan Mu came back to his senses, with a surprised expression on his face, "Why are you here?"
Xia Lei put away his thoughts, "Why did I come here? Doesn't the answer lie with you? If I don't come to you, you will die here."
Father Lanmu got up from the ground. His body looked very weak. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Xia Lei stretched out his hand to support him, "Father-in-law, tell me, why are you here? Do you know that Jill and I are worried about you."
Father Lan Mu said awkwardly: "This is the Tomb of the God of War."
"The Tomb of the God of War?" This was the first time Xia Lei heard it.
"I heard it from my grandfather. This is our family's secret." Father Lanmu said.
"Who's hiding inside?"
"Listen to me first."
Xia Lei shrugged, "Okay, but hurry up, we don't have time to waste, we have to get out of here quickly."
"No, we have to go in." Father Lanmu paused, and then said: "What is buried in this tomb is not people, but weapons, the weapons and armor of Saint King Lan Ling. He is our Ashimi The God of War of the Sri Lankan people. This secret has been passed down in my family from generation to generation. Well, have you seen it? These corpses are probably members of our family."
Xia Lei, "..."
"You helped Jill become the leader of the Ashimis people and gave us hope for revival. As a father-in-law, I have to give you a big gift. The weapons in it are considered to be those given to Jill by me. The dowry is ready. I'm old and can't open this door. Go ahead and try and take the dowry away." Lan Mu's father seemed to be back to normal, which can be seen from this sentence.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "Since it is a secret passed down by your family from generation to generation, then tell me what weapons are inside?"
Lan Mu's father said dissatisfied: "You are serious, I risked my life to come here to buy you a dowry, what are you saying? Don't you believe me? Let me tell you, the Ice Soul Dagger is nothing compared to the weapons inside. Rubbish."
"Ah?" Xia Lei was immediately shocked.
