Chapter 402 The Mysterious Tomb Master
Jun Wu Xie was also staring at the room full of sarcophagi with a shocked expression as he woodenly patted Ye Bing Ning in his arms.
“My God, this dungeon is actually a tomb.”
Blue Zephyr’s jaw dropped, how could he not have expected that the underground palace they had gone through so much trouble to enter back then would be a tomb.
“It seems that the toxic dust just now shouldn’t be some kind of organ, but rather corpse qi deposited over hundreds of thousands of years.”
Duanmu Shi’s brows knitted lightly as she slowly walked into the stone room.
Looking at the lamp oil slot on the wall, Duanmu Shi reached out and flicked his finger, and the lamp oil on both sides of the stone room was instantly lit.
Duanmu Shi walked over to those sarcophagi and took a closer look, and found some strange patterns, and the patterns on each coffin were different.
Mello froze and frowned at the pattern on one of the sarcophagi.
“Well, don’t be afraid, it’s just some sarcophagus, maybe there’s no one inside.”
Jun Wu Xie, who had slowed down, gently patted Ye Bing Ning’s back.
“Boom …”
As soon as Jun Wu Xie’s words fell, the sarcophagus in front of him was suddenly lifted open.
Ye Bingning subconsciously lowered her eyes.
“Ah …” Another scream resounded throughout the dungeon.
Jun Wu Xie was also startled and immediately took a few steps backward while holding Ye Bing Ning.
Mello froze, inexplicably saddened, as he stared at the whitened bones in the sarcophagus.
Duanmushi frowned, “Third Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Mei Luo didn’t seem to have heard Duanmu Shi’s question, her eyes still staring tightly at the bones in the sarcophagus.
Suddenly, she rushed to the sarcophagus with a single strong step, and lightly trembled as she poked her hands into the sarcophagus.
“Wait …”
Mello raised her eyes and met Szell’s worried ones.
“Beware of necrotic poison.”
A little embarrassed by Mei Luo’s look, Situ Kong pursed his lips and handed over an antidote pill.
Mei Luo looked at the antidote pill in Situkong’s hand and directly lowered her head to eat it.
The soft lips brushed against his palm, causing Situkong’s heart to tremble violently and lightly, immediately retracting his hand.
Melo didn’t think much of it, his mind was on the jade pendant next to the white bone.
Picking up the jade pendant and looking at the jade pendant that was so familiar that it couldn’t be any more familiar, Mei Luo’s eyes contained tears.
This is …
Father’s jade pendant?
As if to confirm something, Mei Luo hurriedly pulled out an identical jade pendant from her bosom. The two identical jade pendants seemed to be echoing each other, glowing together with a faint red light.
When the crowd saw the two similar jade pendants, they all stared in amazement.
Duanmu Shi’s brows knitted lightly, the same jade pendant, what was the relationship between the person in this coffin and the Third Master.
Mello lightly trembled as his hands gently brought the two jade pendants together, and in an instant, a blood-red light illuminated the entire stone room.
Father …
Mello murmured, slipping a line of tears and slowly kneeling toward the sarcophagus.
After thirty years, she finally lived up to her mother’s wishes and found her father.
The crowd was once again shocked as they looked at the suddenly kneeling Melo.
Duanmu Shi’s eyes flashed lightly, it seemed that the person in this sarcophagus should be the Third Master’s closest relative.
The crowd did not come forward, and only after a long time did Mello slowly stand up and put the two jade pendants in his hands together next to the white corpse.
Since father and mother can’t be buried together, let their jade pendants be together.
“Let’s help Third Master put this coffin lid on together.”
Despite the thousands of questions in his mind, Duanmu Shi didn’t want to disturb the dead man’s rest.
“Good.”
The crowd nodded in unison and joined in to help.
“Wait, there seems to be something on the inside of this coffin lid.”
Glancing at the pattern on the reverse side of the coffin lid, Duanmu Shi immediately stopped his movements.
The crowd stopped moving in unison and together they reversed the coffin lid.
“What’s this drawing?”
Ye Bingning looked at the blurry pattern on the coffin lid with a puzzled expression.
“It seems to be a picture.” Situkong frowned.
Duanmu Shi’s eyes lit up, “Could it be the map of this underground palace?”
“It’s possible.” Jun Wu Xie nodded approvingly, “But the diagram obviously isn’t fully drawn.”
Duanmushi frowned and got up to look around the circle, “Everyone split up to see if there are any such maps on the other coffin lids?”
“Good.”
The crowd nodded and immediately split up to find the sarcophagus.
White Feather picked up little Green Bamboo and pressed her little head into her arms.
“Brother Bai, I’m not afraid of ghosts.” Green Bamboo lay in White Feather’s arms and muffled.
White Feather didn’t reply, still holding Green Bamboo without letting go.
Green Bamboo’s childish words caused Ye Bing Ning over there to blush in shame, instantly retreating from Jun Wu Xie’s arms.
Ye Bingning took a deep breath and squeezed her fists.
Don’t be afraid, even Little Green Bamboo isn’t afraid of ghosts, what’s a big person like her afraid of?
Jun Wu Xie looked at Ye Bing Ning’s forced composure, and the corner of her lips hooked into a teasing smile.
“Come on, let’s go over there and take a look at the sarcophagus too.”
“No …” Ye Bingning subconsciously refused, stuttering, “I, I mean I’ll stay here with Green Bamboo, Green Bamboo she’s afraid of the dark.”
Hearing Ye Bingning’s words, Green Bamboo immediately raised her small head.
“Sister Bing Ning, you go, Green Bamboo isn’t afraid of the dark.”
Ye Bingning instantly looked embarrassed.
“That, I …”
“Wait for me here.”
The corners of Jun Wu Xie’s lips hooked slightly as he directly pulled Ye Bing Ning over and kissed her on the forehead.
Ye Bing Ning stared blankly at Jun Wu Xie’s back, completely forgetting her fear.
“Master, there is a diagram on this coffin lid.”
“I have this one too.”
“Over here too.”
Several voices sounded at once.
The crowd was delighted and immediately went to the coffin lid.
“You guys, what’s painted on this coffin lid should be this stone room we’re in right now.” Qingfeng pointed at a piece of coffin lid beside him and said.
Duanmushi nodded and carefully studied each piece of the coffin lid.
Suddenly, she stopped next to a piece of coffin lid.
“This is the center of the chamber, let’s go here.”
The crowd nodded, the center of the chamber was usually where the most treasures were, and there might be something to be found there.
The crowd re-covered all the coffin lids before walking out of the stone room together.
Mello glanced back reluctantly.
My father also remembered my mother, or he wouldn’t have held on to the jade pendant that sealed his love for my mother until he died.
“Third Master.”
Duanmu Shi looked at the reluctant Mei Luo, her brows knitted lightly.
Mello looked back at Duanmushi with a slight curl of his lips.
“Go.”
Years of heartache were over, and she had nothing more to worry about.
Beyond the stone chamber was a narrow cliff path, beneath which rolled the plasma of blood.
The cliff path was narrow, so in order to leave more space, the seven divine beasts returned to Duanmu Shi’s spiritual space together.
Duanmu Shi’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the special formation symbols on the cliff path.
“Be careful, there’s a formation here, everyone follow me.”
Duanmu Shi said, taking the lead and walking ahead to lead the way.
The cliff path is not very long, but it is exceptionally difficult to walk.
Jun Wu Xie held Ye Bing Ning tightly and followed behind Duanmu Shi.
Szeto Khong, on the other hand, walked at the end, always keeping an eye on Melo in front of him.
Just as the crowd was looking wholeheartedly at the formation at their feet, the cliff wall suddenly moved.
Formation within a formation, not good …
Duanmushi’s heart snapped up and he immediately shouted, “Crouch down.”
“Ah …”
As soon as Duanmu Shi’s words fell, Ye Bingning was knocked out by the suddenly raised stone.
“Gel …”
Jun Wu Xie was startled and immediately flew down.
“Innocent, catch.”
Duanmu Shi also reacted immediately, grabbing the vines on the cliff wall and throwing them down.
Jun Wu Xie wrapped one hand around Ye Bing Ning and caught the vines thrown down by Duanmu Shi.
Ye Bingning lowered her eyes to look at the rolling plasma at her feet and swallowed nervously.
“Actually, you don’t have to come down, I have wings.”
Looking at Ye Bing Ning’s whitened little face, Jun Wu Xie’s eyes flashed with a touch of heartache.
“Now you remember the wings, just now already in the end how do not remember to use.”
Ye Bingning spat out her tongue sheepishly, she had just forgotten everything when she was nervous.
“Hold me tight.”
Jun Wu Xie sighed helplessly and swept Ye Bing Ning into her arms once more.
The dull voice seemed to have a magical power, and Ye Bingning had unknowingly reached out to encircle Jun Wu Xie’s neck.
Jun Wu Xie hugged Ye Bing Ning tightly and pulled the vines up into the air.
Ye Bing Ning lay quietly in Jun Wu Xie’s arms, the corners of her lips gently hooked up.
At this moment, she felt so relieved, as if she didn’t have to worry about anything as long as he was there.
“You guys are okay.”
As soon as the two flew up the cliff face, the crowd was concerned.
“It’s fine.” Ye Bingning shook her head with a pretty red face.
“Watch out, get down.”
The stone wall shifted again, and the crowd immediately shortened in unison to avoid the raised stone wall.
“It’s too dangerous here, everyone get out of here.”
The crowd had increased their speed and finally passed through the cliff wall safely after half a tea.
After crossing the cliff face, the Seven Divine Beasts reappeared.
“Go this way.”
Duanmushi recalled the map and quickly chose a direction.
The group followed the rope bridge to a lava cave.
“What’s going on, there’s no way out.”
The crowd looked around the lava cave with no way to get there and looked puzzled.
Duanmu Shi frowned, “There won’t be no path, behind this stone wall should be the main chamber, everyone looking for it will surely have a passage.”
The crowd immediately spread out and looked around for the organs.
Sweeping across the stone wall, Mello’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Mello walked over to the stone wall and reached out to gently touch the slender molding on it.
“The Ice Specter Jade Flute?”
“What?” Duanmushi frowned.
Mei Luo immediately turned her eyes at Duanmu Shi with delight, “Shi’er, try putting the Ice Specter Jade Flute into this mold.”
Duanmu Shi looked at the slender mold, her eyes lit up, and she immediately reached out and summoned the Ice Pixie Jade Flute, inlaying it into the slender mold.
The Ice Specter Jade Flute slowly melted into the mold, and a piece of the stone wall instantly shook.
The crowd rejoiced at the sight.
Duanmu Shi looked at the Ice Specter Jade Flute on the stone wall with a surprised expression.
“So this Ice Specter Jade Flute is the key to this main chamber.”
Everything came so unexpectedly, so unexpectedly that Duanmushi felt like she was dreaming.
“Boom …”
The shaking walls rose slowly, and the crowd grew brighter before their eyes.
Duanmu Shi looked at the scene that opened up in front of her, her brows knitted lightly.
“Everyone be careful, there must be a trap in this main chamber.”
The crowd nodded and together they cautiously entered the main chamber.
Just as they entered the chamber the crowd was caught by the pile of golden splendor.
“What is this?”
“Gold.”
Duanmu Shi frowned, there would be gold here, could it be that the owner of this tomb was not from the Han Tian Continent?
