Chapter 519: Tomb Front Doors (2/2)

When Lu Yun arrived with the two girls in tow, numerous immortals were entering the tomb through the door of light.

“They’re going in through the front door?” He opened his eyes incredulously.

“What is it?” The little nun sat red-faced upon Lu Yun’s boat; she still hadn’t gotten over her embarrassment.

“The front door of a tomb is the exit left behind by the architect. When a tomb is completed, sealing the front door and setting down a tombstone is the last step. The front door is the boundary between life and death, and sealing it marks the eternal separation of the two.

“The dead aren’t allowed to walk out, and the living aren’t allowed to enter.” Lu Yun shook his head slowly. “A door as blatant as this shouldn’t exist at all. In theory, whoever built the tomb should’ve sealed it off. This ancient door was created because someone or something triggered a restriction of some sort.

“The immortals going in this way are pretty much committing suicide.”

“Huh?” The two girls were stunned by his remarkable claims and couldn’t understand half of what he was saying.

“The living invite disaster by entering a tomb through its front doors. They might meet with an inexplicable and mysterious end, or simply become some sort of undead creature.

“Avoiding the front door is standard practice for any tomb raider. One that’s strangely open like this only makes it worse. A thief’s tunnel is the best way to get in. Digging one is the same as sneaking in by avoiding the laws governing life and death,” Lu Yun murmured.

Although many ancient tombs had holes in the front that led directly to their depths, they were generally more loopholes and flaws than actual doors. The door in front of the celestial master tomb, on the other hand, was absolutely a proper door that had stood open before.

“Sect Head, Senior Situ and the others have probably gone in through there already…” Yu Hengluo didn’t entirely understand Lu Yun’s words, but she could grasp the general gist of his explanation.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Lu Yun summoned his feng shui compass with a wave of his hand.

After his work on the interment of heaven and earth and the bronze palace, he’d reached a new level of feng shui through melding with the grand layout over the world. Enhanced knowledge and usage of the luopan was part of that.

There were already dark-golden runes coiled upon the compass, and it still had three layers, signifying the principle that three begets all. However, the information the luopan showed was even more mysterious and enlightening than before.

Hum...

A radiant world appeared before his eyes.

“Hmm?” Lu Yun widened his eyes. Every feng shui layout and formation upon the mountain of bone was revealed to him, available for study and analysis at the lift of a finger.

Not only that, but the world revealed by the luopan included everything else in the mountain as well. Lu Yun could ascertain the details of pretty much everything he saw. For example, the compass showed that the center of the mountain was hollow. Human skins floated inside it, and he saw Situ Zong’s among them.
