Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 143 Corridor Mural

After working for so long, everyone's clothes were dry before they had time to change.

Let's just keep moving forward.

The Wind Evil Formation should have been broken by now without its foundation.

But Lu Li was not worried.

It started when he discovered that this water hole was not the entrance to the tomb.

He guessed that Zi Luosha's people would not come in from here.

They don't have the ability to avoid the wind formation.

The fact that they were still planning to attack the tomb of Emperor Muzong of Liao could only mean that they had found another entrance.

After passing through the cave, there is a long corridor at the back.

The walls of the corridor are covered with murals.

There is a scene where Emperor Muzong of Liao, who is extremely heroic, leads people hunting in the hunting ground.

There are also portraits of him standing on the altar when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

No one knows where the corridor leads to, nor how long it is.

But the murals covered the entire wall.

Lu Li discovered that in every mural there was a woman with a peacock feather in her hair and a veil on her face standing behind Emperor Muzong of Liao.

This woman even appeared at family dinners.

This is not normal.

Who is this woman.

Until I saw that it was this woman who was presiding over the sacrifice.

Everyone then knew that this woman was the legendary witch Xiao Gu.

What is strange is that she is the only one in the image in the middle of the corridor, but Emperor Muzong of Liao is not.

Behind her was a jade bowl filled with grains, and in front of her were three kinds of animals: pig, cow and sheep.

Fully armed soldiers stood around the altar.

The witch held a palm-sized box with the lid open.

He was looking up at the sky and saying something.

Unfortunately, the contents of the box cannot be seen in the mural.

The mural ended with a bolt of lightning falling from the sky.

"Why is it gone?"

Several Maoshan disciples complained.

I was enjoying the mural when it suddenly broke.

"What's in that box?"

Shi Jian was not curious about Xiao Gu's behavior, but was curious about the items in the box.

"Could it be that the object in there is a divine weapon that has the power to break through time and space?"

Uncle Jiu guessed, stroking his chin.

Lu Li’s focus is different from others.

"Why is Emperor Muzong of Liao not included in this mural? The previous ones all have it."

After hearing what Lu Li said, everyone realized that there was indeed no Emperor Muzong of Liao in these two murals.

One was during the sacrifice, and the other was when she spoke to the sky and lightning descended.

"The corridor behind is still very long. Let's wait and see."

Uncle Jiu suggested.

Everyone walked along the corridor, looking around.

Sure enough, only those two murals were special along the way.

The rest of the murals, like the previous ones, depict the life story of Emperor Muzong of Liao.

Seeing the last few people, they all had doubts.

"Those two murals seem to be telling us something. It is very likely that they were modified after Emperor Muzong of Liao died."

Lu Li expressed his suspicion.

"What you said is possible."

Shi Jian spoke up.

"Forget it. Instead of guessing here, why don't we go in and take a look. In the end, we will know everything."

Ao Tianlong couldn't stand this kind of guessing, because the tomb was there anyway and he couldn't escape.

No matter what the woman's purpose was.

But it must be related to the person inside.

"Tianlong is right. Once we get inside, everything will become clear."

Uncle Jiu thinks so too.

As everyone came to the end of the corridor, they found a large stone door with two animal heads carved on it.

There is nothing else, it seems to have been designed this way just to keep people out.

This stone gate separates the center of the Fengsha Array and the tomb chamber.

"This stone door looks like it's three feet high and weighs thousands of pounds. How can we get in?"

Master Shi Jian had never been into a tomb, so he naturally thought that the door had to be opened by brute force.

"Master, the saying that you should always leave a way out for everything also applies to tombs. After all, stone doors are made by humans.

Generally, the craftsmen who built tombs knew that they could not escape death, so they would leave secret passages or secret buttons.

Just so I can see the light of day again in the future."

This was learned by Lu Li and Queqiao Shao.

The Partridge Whistle combines the two great traditions of the Mountain Moving Taoist and the Tomb Raider.

The last time Lu Li was with him, he heard a lot of stories about the secrets of these tombs.

"Yes, no one would be willing to accept death if they knew it was inevitable."

Shi Jian thought about it from another perspective. If he were in such a situation, he would not be able to satisfy the master either.

Even if you are the emperor, what does it matter? I am dead, and you can't come down to find me.

I think he is willing to work hard for the sake of his family.

Lu Li placed his hand on the stone door and sensed it carefully with his spiritual sense.

This time, his spiritual consciousness passed through the stone door and sensed that there were two large stone pillars behind the door, firmly supporting the stone door.

Sure enough, there was a doorpost.

Everyone saw Lu Li closing his eyes and putting his hand on the stone door.

After a while, he looked thoughtful.

Suddenly he stretched out his right hand and inserted it into the eye of one of the animal heads.

With a gentle pull, a thin line is pulled out.

This seemed to cause a chain reaction.

There were two sounds of heavy objects falling behind the stone door.

Then there was another clicking sound.

An amazing scene appeared.

Lu Li pushed the stone door weighing thousands of pounds open easily.

"What an ingenious mechanism! The craftsman who built this stone door can be said to have done a masterful job."

Uncle Jiu exclaimed.

"So don't offend those skilled craftsmen. Who knows what bad things they might do when they are building your house?"

Lu Li even suspected that the emperors' tombs that were either leaking or easily robbed were because they had offended the craftsmen.

You should know that craftsmen were already very powerful during the Song Dynasty.

How come after hundreds of years, the tomb can’t even be waterproofed?

In the final analysis, it is probably that the craftsmen were forced to work, and they did it secretly.

If there is one brick missing, the supervisor won’t be able to tell.

As the stone door opened.

The scene behind also appeared before everyone's eyes.

"How...how could this be."

“Extremely brutal!”

Everyone thought that after getting married, there would be a coffin to be buried with the deceased, or even a mountain of gold, silver and treasures.

But he never expected that there would be a mass grave in front of him.

The scene before him was so shocking that even Lu Li was stunned.

Behind the door is a super large cave.

It was filled with bones of various shapes and sizes.

It seems that the builders intentionally used these corpses to create a road, a road of bones.

So these people were used to fill up this big hole.

The edge of the pit is just level with the White Bone Road.

There is also a huge stone altar in the middle of the cave.

There are five stone pillars on it.

"These must be the craftsmen who built the tomb. Maybe there were slaves as well."

Uncle Jiu said dejectedly.

"Damn barbarian, when I see his coffin, I will grind his bones and scatter his ashes."

Shi Jian was cruel enough, often arresting people for setting off fireworks, but this was nothing compared to what he saw before him.

It's just a little white flower.

Ao Tianlong and the Maoshan disciples behind him also clenched their swords tightly with their eyes blazing with fire.

The only one who remained calm was Hua Ling.

She followed Queqiao Shao in search of the Zhuochen Pearl and seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene.

But the hands twisting her clothes also told everyone that she was not at peace.

No one spoke at this moment, and everyone followed Lu Li with torches.

Lu Li walked carefully on the road of bones.

Intentionally avoid skulls and the like.

The people behind him continued in Lu Li's footsteps and walked very carefully.

Come to the central altar.

This altar is much larger than the one we saw just now, and the surface is covered with grooves, which seem to be used to drain liquids.

"is blood!"

Ao Tianlong has been living outside the Great Wall for many years and is too sensitive to the smell of blood.

As soon as I stood on the altar, I smelled blood.

"They brought the blood of those in the pit to the altar."

Uncle Jiu said with a frown.

This method of sacrificing human blood does not look like a sacrifice to a real god at all.

The five stone pillars with coiled dragons standing nearby also looked like part of some kind of formation.

Lu Li walked forward along the altar to see where the blood flowed.

Suddenly, a whip-like object came towards Lu Li from behind.

The whip made a breaking sound as it cut through the air.

If this happens to a person, the result will definitely be that the head and body will be separated.
