Chapter 118 (2/2)
This made Zhou Tian very confused. He always thought that the millennium old corpse was the owner of the underground palace. Now it seems not.
The corpse lying here is the owner of the underground palace. As for the millennium old corpse, it should exist for a longer time.
Or when the ancients excavated the underground palace at that time, the millennium old corpse had been lying quietly under the ground. It was not until Wu Ziqi's arrival that he awakened the millennium old corpse with a lot of blood and dead souls.
The identity of the millennium old corpse has become a mystery, which hit Zhou Tian. When he came here, the most important thing was to find out what agreement had been reached between the millennium old corpse and Wu Ming, but there was no clue.
If he can find out the identity of the millennium old corpse, he can also make a bold assumption. Unfortunately, he can't even find out this.
Zhou Tian took out a piece of fire talisman and pasted it directly on the corpse to burn the corpse to avoid any corpse change in the future. Although the corpse is basically only bones, it's better to be careful.
Zhou Tian went out of the dark passage and came to the underground palace. He was fascinated by the hanging purple golden throne and wanted to find out whether there were other secrets about the purple golden throne.
Wandering around, I found patterns on one wall, also known as painting wall, which is often used to record some things at that time.
It may be the life story of the owner of the underground palace, or it may be the legends and major historical allusions of that era.
Zhou Tian looked carefully for a long time and found that the painted wall was not talking about people's deeds, but about a legend, the legend of immortality.
The ancients believed that after death, the soul would return to the underworld, pass through Naihe bridge and drink Mengpo soup. Only in this way can life and death be complete.
Therefore, if you want to live forever, you can only stop time in one step and fall into a sense of time prohibition.
The owner of this underground palace wants to preserve his soul after death, so that his soul does not have to enter the underworld, nor does he need to drink Mengpo soup.
The underground palace seems to be used for living after death.
This sounds ridiculous, because if there is no body, what can the soul do?
If immortality is just a soul, I'm afraid not many people want it.
However, the patterns inside the painted wall are very interesting. Unfortunately, they are incomplete. There is only a small part, only the pictures depicting the underworld and the human world. How to live forever is not drawn here.
Zhou Tian didn't find any clues about the owner of the underground palace. He didn't specialize in these archaeological knowledge.
Before leaving, Zhou Tian wanted to seal the underground palace to avoid being accidentally entered. It can also be regarded as protecting the peace of the dead.
When I came to the exit, I found a group of people rushing over with flashlights.
”Hurry up, Professor Li. If that man is true, it will be a great discovery! A complete underground palace, my God! I can't imagine it.”
”Lao Zhang, don't hope so much. What if it's just a joke?”
”No, I have a hunch that this underground palace must exist! You know that I have tracked down the legend for many years, and the rumored tomb definitely exists!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tian gave up his intention to leave quietly, the rumored tomb?
When he came here, he only saw a coffin, which looked rather shabby, far from the brilliance of the underground palace.
Moreover, it doesn't look like a tomb here. He has checked inside and outside, and even opened his God's eyes. He didn't find any secret ways and other things.
Zhou Tian hid in the darkness at the corner of the entrance and looked at the people.
There were five people in the group, two old people with gray hair, a middle-aged man and two young people.
Three generations of old, middle-aged and young people live together.
”Lao Zhang, you haven't given up on that legend? You've been pursuing it for 20 years since we realized it!”
”To be exact, there are forty-three years, six months and eight days.”
”You're still the same. I don't know how you fell in love with this nonsense legend and came all the way to Jiangbei to settle down for 20 years.”
The old man called Lao Zhang didn't answer, but his eyes were very hot.
Five people groped for a while before they found the entrance.
”Look! There is an entrance!” exclaimed a young man.
”Go! Let's go in quickly! We can't let those grave robbers destroy the precious cultural relics inside!”
Five people hurried in
Zhou Tian looked around clearly, and his curiosity grew stronger and stronger.
Not only about the so-called rumored tomb, but also the five people. Who are they and how they came here at this time? Did the person secretly tell them? What kind of calculations does he have.
”All this is getting more and more interesting.”
Zhou Tian whispered and followed a group of people into the underground palace.
