Shang Zhongtian whispered, "I tiptoed along the cold and dry tunnel. On both sides were fist-sized night-shining pearls that had been shining for who knows how many years. The faint blue light could only illuminate my figure, not even my facial features. I always felt like someone was looking at me, and it made my hair stand on end. But when I turned around, I saw nothing. I thought it was an illusion at the time."
"I followed the light through the rugged passage and came to the main tomb at the core."
"The specifications of the main tomb are so astonishing that I forgot for a moment that this is a dark and terrifying tomb."
Shang Zhongtian closed his eyes and paused, as if he was recalling the details of the scene he saw at that time. After he finished recalling, he slowly spoke: "I have never seen such a large-scale tomb. The cave ceiling is as high as the sky. Under the sky, terracotta warriors holding sharp bronze spears loyally guard their masters. The dazzling array of burial objects are all arranged in the Bagua formation, which implicitly conforms to 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 me palpitate, as if the Yuanying old monster is not dead, but just asleep, and may wake up at any time."
"I am not a person who hesitates. I made a prompt decision and took away half of the burial objects. Just as I was about to leave, I heard footsteps not far away. The footsteps echoed in the empty tomb, which was chilling."
"Then I encountered a terrifying situation that I had never encountered in all my years in the industry."
At this point, Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye leaned forward involuntarily, wanting to hear what happened next.
Shang Zhongtian showed an extremely painful expression, his voice trembling: "I met that descendant of the Nascent Soul Stage who came to worship the ancestor!"
"What?" Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye heard it clearly, but they didn't react.
"Those people brought offerings and magic weapons to worship their ancestors, praying for the longevity of the family, the emergence of talented people, and the success of the imperial examinations. On the way to worship, they noticed me stealing from the tomb, so they rushed over and captured me. It was so terrifying at the time that even now I break out in a cold sweat when I think about it."
“… I think their reaction is quite normal.” Lu Yang spoke the truth. It was considered good manners that the family members did not hack you to death on the spot.
"Is this the great terror you mentioned?" Tao Yaoye asked.
Shang Zhongtian scratched his head, not understanding their reactions: "Yeah, digging a grave and meeting the descendants of the tomb owner, is there anything more terrifying than this?"
"Then what?"
"Then I was beaten up, and my realm dropped from the peak of Qi training to the middle stage of Qi training. I was sent to prison, and the government made me pay for all the things I had stolen before. I was locked up for another ten years. After I was released from prison, I decided to quit and start a new life, and never get involved in these right and wrong things again."
"to be honest."
"I am too embarrassed to see my colleagues."
"… "
Shang Zhongtian was so sincere that the two of them didn't know what to say.
After Shang Zhongtian personally buried the skinless body of Butler Zhang, he invited Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye to stay for one night before leaving, but Tao Yaoye refused.
If it wasn't for the purpose of luring the Painted Skin Ghost to take action, Tao Yaoye would not have chosen to stay overnight. It was not difficult for two people in the Foundation Establishment Stage to travel at night.
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 for them to come to the Shang family to deal with the Painted Skin Ghost.
"This parrot is pretty good. Maybe it's really a monster. We should train it well."
Shang Yuan was shocked and quickly asked the reason.
"The strength of the demon beasts in the early stages is very vague, and it is difficult to distinguish them from wild beasts. I can't tell them apart either."
"However, Xiaolu left your home but did not fly far away. Instead, he kept flying in Taiping Township. He also knew that your home was in danger and did not approach your home. Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was a sign of awakening spiritual intelligence. It's hard to say."
Lu Yang smiled and said nothing more.
Shang Zhongtian felt that the hospitality was not good enough. The two men had saved the lives of twelve people in the Shang family, and the only thing he could show for them was the story of his retirement.
"This is the experience I wrote about tomb robbing. If you don't mind, you might as well accept it. You never know when it may be useful." Shang Zhongtian took out a blue thread-lined book from his arms and gave it to the two of them.
Lu Yang politely accepted it, and then the two of them waved goodbye.
On the way back, Lu Yang asked, "Do you want this book of tomb-robbing tips?"
Tao Yaoye shook her head. She wasn't going to rob tombs, so what did she need this thing for
Lu Yang also felt that it was useless, but he still put it away.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you poisoned my room?" Tao Yaoye was still upset about this.
Fortunately, as a fairy body, she has a high resistance to all kinds of poisons, otherwise she would have suffered from athlete's foot like Butler Zhang.
Is it appropriate for a beautiful girl to have athlete's foot
Lu Yang shrugged. He naturally poisoned Tao Yaoye only after knowing that the poison was harmless to her. "I told you everything."
"when?"
“Use your eyes when you eat.”
"So you can't reach the food, so you want me to pass you the plate?"
"I'm not such a superficial person."
The two successfully returned to the Wendao Sect. Coincidentally, 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? She said that you have a problem with your attitude and refused to cooperate with her." This senior brother was a little puzzled. It was just a dual cultivation method. How could there be a problem with your attitude
"Brother, you guys should check that fox demon. There must be something wrong. You said that I went there to provide the dual cultivation technique, but she actually asked to test the goods and wanted to practice the dual cultivation technique with me to see if it was true or not."
Meng Jingzhou said angrily: "If I could break the Pure Yang Body, I would practice with her!"
It is not known whether he was angry because he had a pure yang body and missed an encounter, or because he was angry that the fox demon underestimated his desire to seek the truth.
Seeing that the senior brother who issued the task also looked helpless, Lu Yang stepped forward to help: "Senior brother, the two of us have completed the task of dealing with the monster."
Lu Yang explained in detail how the people of Taiping Township mistook a parrot for a talking monster, and how he and Tao Yaoye revealed their flaws, luring the Painted Skin Ghost to take action and then being eliminated.
In the end, Lu Yang handed over the ashes of Painted Skin Ghost to his senior brother.
"You completed the task so well on your first try. You're great." The senior brother looked at Lu Yang with admiration. When he issued this task, he thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden story behind it.
When he heard that Lu Yang had poisoned the patient and resolved the battle quickly, he looked at him with even greater respect. If he hadn't been poisoned, it would have taken a lot of effort to subdue the Painted Skin Ghost, and he might even have been able to escape.
The most important thing is that this junior brother was carrying the poison of athlete's foot. Thinking of this, the senior brother quietly sat a little further away.
"You two have exceeded the mission targets. Your original contribution points have been quadrupled to 120. Junior Sister Taoyao Ye, you played a supporting role in this mission, so you will get 90 contribution points."
Tao Yaoye had no objection. Lu Yang played a crucial role in this mission and she was just a bait.
