The Mermaid had said that he was the guardian of the King Tuo's Tomb, but she was obviously not human.
It was very likely to be this mysterious Saint.
Based on this analysis, the holy man was most likely a mermaid.
But why had the mermaid species never appeared before?
Other than the Merfolk, are there any other intelligent life forms on earth?
Du Lei thought about many things.
Just then, Wu Liufeng flipped open the book to a page, there was a drawing of a bead on it, without any explanation, Old Wu had instead written a question mark on it.
It seemed like there was something wrong with the bead.
On the next page, a rather odd handwriting was recorded. Although Wu Liufeng had seen it before, he was unable to translate it at the moment.
”These words are a type of writing passed down between the tomb robbing families. The main character is Chinese, but it has fused with the language of other races. If I don't have a family dictionary, I can't translate it.”
Wu Liufeng shook his head, he kept the booklet and kept it in his backpack.
”Your old man is a monster. He said it well before, why did he suddenly use the words' tomb robbing 'to describe it?”
Niu Si muttered.
These words of his caused Wu Liufeng and the others to be stunned. He and the two brothers looked at each other, then explained: ”Every time my father goes to the next grave, he would first record down any news regarding the tomb in a small booklet.”
”The Chinese characters at the beginning are simple, but behind the bead is a grave robbing character, and this type of character is only understood by the family of robbers.”
”This means that my father does not want others to understand the rest of the story!”
He looked around at Du Lei and the others, then laughed bitterly: ”Of course not.”
”I know, he probably found out that someone was secretly following him.”
Du Lei nodded, he had only met the Old Wu once, so it was not that he needed to be wary of him.
”And according to the old tutor's habit, he should've been targeted after finding the pearl.”
Chu Yangxu said in deep thoughts.
”No, it should have been when that saint appeared that he was noticed.”
Wu Liufeng shook his head, ”This Saint never existed in the original history. Since my father had discovered it, it meant that he had discovered some sort of secret. And this secret has touched upon the interests of others! ”
”Those people might very well be here too!”
Du Lei looked around and muttered.
”Be careful. We're in the dark! ”
Wu Liufeng nodded and threw the overcoat into the tomb.
The few of them walked deeper into the mausoleum.
After passing through a long passageway, the few of them suddenly appeared within the mausoleum.
The view was wide, like a large platform.
On the platform stood a red coffin.
”Could this be the coffin of King Tuo?”
Niu Si's eyes were wide opened, the red coffin had all sorts of carvings, all of them were demons.
The coffin was supported by a single frame, and beneath it were seven ancient bronze lamps, all of which were extinguished.
But there was lamp oil!
”Is this the method of burial? Just leaving it in the air? Didn't you say that you should rest in peace? ”
Zhang San asked doubtfully.
He walked up and walked around, but did not find anything unusual.
Behind the coffin was a huge stone platform. There were many gold, silver, and jewelry on the platform, emitting dazzling rays of light.
Walking in, he saw that there were some strange patterns carved into the stone platform.
