2540. Chapter 2540 Insurmountable Tomb Keeper
On the way to Aragu Mountain, Ye Qing also found out about the situation of the family guarding the tomb.
There are not many people in this family, and there are only fourteen people, including the short elder. There are three members of the main vein there, and these three members of the main vein, plus the tall elder, are also four members of the main vein. In other words, there are only eighteen people who stayed in the Aragu Mountain to guard the tomb.
Among these eighteen people, the leader of the branch was Yelu Changfeng, who was also a top master and had a very strong strength. However, as the leader of the tomb guarding family, he would never leave Alagu Mountain. If he could leave Alagu Mountain, the Yelu family would not be destroyed so quickly.
Now what Ye Qing is most worried about is Yelu Changfeng. If Yelu Changfeng betrayed the Yelu family, the situation would be troublesome. The only way to open the Yelu family’s ancestral tomb is to use the blood of the main vein members to open the Yelu family’s ancestral tomb at the right time. No one knows when this suitable time, because according to the two tomb-guarding elders, the Yelu family’s ancestral tomb has never been opened for a thousand years since it was closed. Therefore, it is unknown whether Ye Qing can open the ancestral tomb this time.
However, one thing worthy of recognition is that to open the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family, Yelu Ying's blood must be used. Yelu Ying is the head of the Yelu family now and the only member of the main vein. Although the tallest elder is her second grandfather and a member of the main vein, the real main vein is the elder, and Yelu Ying's grandfather is the elder of that generation, so his vein has the purest bloodline. Therefore, in terms of bloodline, Yelu Ying's bloodline is more pure than the tallest elder, and it is the only bloodline that can open the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family.
If Yelu Changfeng really betrayed the Yelu family, and Ye Qing took Yelu Ying over to say this time, wouldn’t it be like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth? The traitor was about to find Yelu Ying to open the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family, but at this time, Ye Qing took Yelu Ying over again, and was simply deliberately sending the person to the other party’s door.
However, Ye Qing had no other choice. The full moon night is coming soon, and this is the only opportunity. If Ye Qing and the others don’t open the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family this time, they will have to wait for another month. They can wait, but the Wanyan family may not necessarily wait, so they must seize the opportunity to open the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family this time. In other words, Ye Qing and the others cannot delay, they must arrive at Aragu Mountain before the full moon night.
After more than two hours, Ye Qing and his friends finally arrived near Aragu Mountain, and they could see Aragu Mountain from a distance. Aragu Mountain can indeed be said to be the highest mountain range in this desert. Even if the sky is dark, you can see the faint whiteness on the top of the mountain, which is the snow on the top of the mountain. In this desert, there is still snow on the top of the mountain, but you can imagine how high this Aragu Mountain is.
"Alagu Mountain!" The two elders were obviously a little excited to see Alagu Mountain. After all, they grew up here since childhood, and this place is their hometown. Although the living environment here is very difficult, it is its hometown after all, who can not miss homesickness?
"After this route, you can drive for about half an hour to reach the foot of Aragu Mountain!" The short elder pointed to the direction of Aragu Mountain and said, "The tomb guards are living at the foot of Aragu Mountain. Let's go there quickly. Tonight is the full moon night. We must find Brother Changfeng and ask him to take us to the entrance of the ancestral tomb. Try it as soon as possible to see if we can open the ancestral tomb!"
When he said this, the short elder was obviously a little excited. In fact, it is no wonder that the people of their clan have been guarding the Aragu Mountain for thousands of years, in order to wait for someone to open the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family. However, for thousands of years, the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family has never been opened. This time, someone finally came to try again, and this is the last hope. How can they not be excited?
If the Yelu family’s ancestral tomb cannot be opened this time, they probably won’t have to protect it here anymore, because it’s meaningless to protect it. The family’s inheritance has been cut off, and it’s even more impossible to open the ancestral tomb in the future. So what else do you need to protect?
Looking at Aragus Mountain, Yelu Ying was also very excited. After all, it was their ancestral tomb, and their greatest ancestors were buried there. Since her birth, the family members have been telling her many legends about ancestors and ancestral tombs. It can be said that members of each family of the Yelu family hope to come to the ancestral tomb to worship their ancestors one day, but no one can get close to them. Now Yelu Ying has finally arrived, and the excitement in her heart can be imagined.
Only Ye Qing's brow was frowning. He stared in the direction of Alagu Mountain for a while and said in a deep voice: "Did the people guarding the tomb surrounded the entire Alagu Mountain, or did they only guard one of the passages?"
"Alagu Mountain is so big, and there are only eighteen people guarding the tomb. How could it be that the entire Alagu Mountain?" The tall elder said: "The tomb guardians at least defend the direction on the front of Alagu Mountain, and just ensure that the person will not approach the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family. As for other directions, no one will care about it."
Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "In other words, if we go from another place, we can also go around to the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family?"
"Zuo?" The two elders looked at each other and said wonderingly: "Why do you need to Zuo?"
"I just asked this." Ye Qing smiled.
"Uh..." The tall elder scratched his head and said, "It's not what you said. The terrain of Aragu Mountain is very steep. The front of what we are talking about is actually a cliff. Except for a steep slope that can be climbed up the mountain, no other road can be walked, so there is no such thing as circumference. As long as we keep this road, no one can get close to the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family!"
Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "What about the other side? Is it so steep?"
The tall elder shook his head: "That's not the case. The terrain on the other side of Mount Aragu is relatively slow and the scenery is quite good."
Ye Qing said: "So, if someone climbs from the other side of Aragu Mountain to the top of the mountain and then descends from the top of the mountain along the steep slope, can he go around to the Yelu family's ancestral tomb?"
"This..." The two elders looked at each other again, and the shorter elder said wonderingly: "Leader Ye, what do you want to say?"
"I'm just asking if there is any possibility." Ye Qing replied.
"This is impossible!" The short elder shook his head and said, "You forgot that I told you that there are devils living on Mount Aragu. The mountain is the most dangerous place. We live here and have heard many legends about devils. Almost everyone who goes up the mountain will meet devils. So, climbing from the other side to the top of the mountain and then descending along the steep slope is impossible. No matter how powerful you are, you may not escape and die when you meet a devil, let alone bypassing it!"
Ye Qing was just thinking about the devil's incident and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he was thinking that he would try not to disturb the tomb guarding the tomb there, but to go around from Aragu Mountain to the ancestral tomb, and the gods opened the ancestral tomb without knowing it. Unexpectedly, it was so difficult to get close to the ancestral tomb. It seemed that this method was basically hopeless. Could it be that they still had to meet those tomb guarding the tomb? If Ye Qing guessed that Yelu Changfeng betrayed the Yelu family and they went through this way, it would be really a way to die!
"Brother Ye, why don't we go there first?" Yelu Ying said at the back: "You don't have to worry about the protection of the ancestral tomb. The family members of the tomb guarding here for thousands of years. They are very clear about the terrain here. If there is really a way to go around the ancestral tomb, they will definitely know better than us, and you don't have to worry!"
Ye Qing was speechless. He was not worried about these things. He was worried that they would not be able to get close to the ancestral tomb of the Yelu family in the end. There were obviously traitors among the members of the tomb guarding the Yelu family. If they passed by like this, they would be dying! However, Ye Qing could not tell Yelu Ying and the others about such a thing. If he had not caught a certain person, Yelu Ying and the others might not believe it. On the contrary, if Ye Qing guessed wrongly, it would be embarrassing.
Just as Ye Qing was hesitating, suddenly, a roar of motorcycles came from the desert in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw an off-road vehicle driving from the yellow sand. In the dark night, the off-road vehicle did not turn on the lights. Fortunately, the moonlight in the desert was very good, and the ground was silvery, so you could see the surrounding terrain clearly.
Seeing the car, the tall elder sitting behind immediately stood up and smiled and said, "Oh, it's the third brother and the others here!"
"The third brother?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, wondering who the third brother was.
"It's my third brother and a member of the Yelu family's main lineage, who stayed here to guard the tomb." The tall elder replied.
"Oh." Ye Qing nodded, and he also breathed a little relieved. In fact, he suspected the people of the tomb guard clan, and as for the members of the main vein, he was not so suspicious. Because, the people of the tomb guard clan were here for thousands of years, they were the most likely people to have strange intentions. The members of the main vein occupied all the right time and place from beginning to end, and the Yelu family also belonged to them, so they would not betray them.
"Are you sure it's your third brother?" Ye Qing looked at the off-road vehicle, actually a little worried. He had been attacked once before, and now they are a little nervous. If another group of people attack them, they may not be able to escape like this time.
The tall elder smiled and said, "If you don't drive, it must be my third brother. He has always been this kind of personality. He says that turning on the lights costs fuel. You can't make mistakes!"
