"Tick-tock-tock..."
The sound of dripping water rang in his ears. Zhang Xiaoman was walking among the ancient tombs that had been buried for nearly a thousand years.
Around him, the Star Guards were guarding his side like the most loyal bodyguards. In his hand, a small ball emitting bright white light was suspended in the palm of his hand, illuminating the surrounding space.
This is naturally the lighting technique he used, which is said to be a necessary skill for mages.
"If these plants didn't have dark energy fluctuations, I would have thought I had encountered another Imperial Vine."
Zhang Xiaoman stretched out his hand to push aside a vine hanging down in front of his eyes and looked around.
The environment here was much different than what he had imagined at the beginning.
If you want to enter the underground cave, you need to pass through the general's tomb first. In his original guess, this general's tomb should not be a too large ancient tomb. At most, it would only have a main tomb chamber, an antechamber, and two more. It's just a tomb passage.
But who would have thought that the size of this general's tomb was much larger than that little-known small tomb. The corridor in the front hall alone seemed to be able to accommodate two cars passing side by side.
Now, after a long period of accumulation, the walls here have become extremely decayed, and some places are still dripping with water. They are covered with unknown weird plants. I don’t know if they were originally on the Aquamarine Planet, or if they were from there. Another dimension followed.
"Now I'm a little curious. Which general does this tomb belong to? It's so large. It's just a pity that it has never been discovered, otherwise I wouldn't have heard of it until now."
Zhang Xiaoman doesn't know how deep underground he is now. Anyway, this passage has been walking downwards.
He walked for a while and finally reached the end of the tomb passage and came to a spacious hall.
The space here is very large, with three sarcophagi placed in the middle. The surrounding environment is also carefully decorated, and there is even a rockery with a flowing water curtain on the side.
The three sarcophagi were all very large, and one of them had been damaged by external forces, revealing a skeleton and some gold and silver jewelry inside.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at those things, then looked around, and found some porcelain scattered around, some of which were damaged, while others were lucky enough to survive.
"These are all antiques...the general's tomb was built nearly a thousand years ago. The antiques inside should be worth a lot of money..."
An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the painting style.
"Okay, I'm obviously here to fight monsters, why do I suddenly feel like I'm touching Captain Jin?"
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and stopped paying attention to these things. If it were his previous self, he would be extremely happy now, right?
But then again, if it was the old self, how could he have the courage to enter such a place?
He walked forward for a while, but suddenly saw three passages at one end of the hall, all of the same shape and size. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything at the other end.
"Three ways? Are you asking me to choose one...?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked strange, feeling that this routine seemed a bit familiar.
If the person who comes here is someone who has inherited the secrets of Feng Shui tombs, they will definitely be able to memorize the formula and find the right path to avoid danger.
Unfortunately, he doesn't know those things.
However, he also has his own methods.
After giving instructions to the three star guards, Zhang Xiaoman asked them to walk towards the three dark passages to see which one was the correct way.
After waiting for about a minute, two star guards were attacked one after another. They were attacked by arrows shot from the surrounding walls. They should be something similar to a mechanism.
"Then it seems like he left from here, right?"
Zhang Xiaoman came to the last passage and was about to walk over, but he received information from the star guard in front and was also attacked.
"Not here!?"
He looked at the end of the passage with some surprise, feeling a little confused. According to the routine, at least one of the three roads should be a way to survive without a mechanism.
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head and said depressedly:
"Okay, I was taken in anyway. Why am I looking for the main tomb? I'm not here to fight, I'm here to find the underground cave."
He immediately gave the three star guards new instructions, asking them to find a way to extend downwards.
After Zhang Xiaoman gave the order, he looked at the walls of the three passages again. Although some plants had grown on them and they had deteriorated a lot, they didn't seem to see any scratches.
If it is the right entrance, these monsters should leave footprints when they come out of it.
Unless there are other entrances and exits to the underground cave, but even then, there will be at least some traces here.
He waited for a moment, but the three star guards all came back, and they couldn't find a way down. These three passages were dead ends.
"strangeness……"
Zhang Xiaoman walked around the hall. He obviously followed the monster down, but why did he lose it when he got here? Is it possible that there are really some detours ahead that I have missed?
When he was thinking about whether to go back and take another look, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something that seemed to be written on the side of the sarcophagus.
"Well...these are..."
Zhang Xiaoman leaned over and took a look, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The characters on the sarcophagus are all in Chinese, yes, but they are all in ancient script from a thousand years ago. Although they are blurred, they can still be seen clearly.
"My beloved concubine is Mrs. Ren."
He read the above content softly. Because he was proficient in all languages, he could understand it as long as it was Chinese, even if it was ancient Chinese characters.
"This is...my beloved concubine...Dai Shi."
"My beloved concubine...Mrs. Xiao..."
"Are the general's concubines contained in these three sarcophagi? What's going on? If I die, I want to take my concubine with me to be buried together?"
A picture instantly appeared in Zhang Xiaoman's mind. Before his death, the owner of the tomb ordered the sergeants to take his family members to be buried with him.
"Now that I have my concubines, will my wife be here too?"
As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at the stone platform located in the middle of the three coffins.
I gently wiped off the dust on it with my hand, and saw a line of words engraved on it in solid Chinese characters:
My beloved wife, Yuhui, sleeps here with me forever, beside the silver bamboos, and the earth sleeps. It cannot be completed unless heaven and earth replace it.
