The fact that all the disciples of the Qingshan Sword Sect who entered the tomb were wiped out made Lu Feng feel very heavy and made him even more worried about the safety of Shao Yang and others.
"Further ahead is the exit."
After walking more than half of the incense sticks, Wu Ying suddenly pointed to a corner ahead and said with lingering fear: "It was that small piece of gravel that fell before, which almost made me deaf."
Lu Feng approached the corner and saw some traces of fighting on the stone wall. He expected that the fallen stone should have cracked due to previous attacks.
Unfortunately, the traces on it are too vague and messy, and none of them imply any moves, so it is difficult to discern too many useful clues.
Lu Feng continued to move forward with Wu Ying, and finally walked out of this maze safely.
Although the journey was uneventful, Lu Feng knew very well that if Wu Ying had not explored the route in advance, it would have been impossible to get out so easily.
Take the invisible 'spider thread' that you encountered when you first entered. If Wu Ying hadn't heard the layout in advance, Lu Feng would have been entangled if he had just broken in, triggering subsequent mechanisms.
The same is true when passing through a winding corridor. If you step on any of the floating bricks laid on the ground wrongly, the passage will change, leading to a new route and you will get lost in it.
There are also those secret door passages that cannot be discovered at all if you don't know about them in advance. If you rush to look for them on the rock wall, you will suddenly trigger other dangers.
However, there is still no specific discovery as to what Jiang Yingyu and his wife died of.
This means that they may also face such unknown dangers on the next road.
Coming out of the maze, you will find a palace with a very similar layout to the one where the zombie was found earlier.
Lu Feng subconsciously became on guard, wary that the same danger might exist inside.
But when he opened the door of the palace and looked around, he was stunned.
There are no zombies in the palace, there are only two huge humanoid statues, one on the left and one on the right standing in the center of the palace.
The two statues are both three to four meters high and show completely different appearances.
The statue on the left looks like a civil servant, wearing a high crown on his head, holding a scepter in his hand, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist. He has an elegant and dignified temperament;
The statue on the right looks like a military general, wearing a helmet, holding a spear, and wearing a sword at his waist. He looks majestic and domineering.
Both statues stared condescendingly at the door of the palace.
When you meet him head-on, you will feel a chilling feeling.
After Ning Xiang was frightened for a short time, she said in a trembling voice: "Master, these two statues look so familiar..."
Lu Feng nodded: "It's the portrait in the passage at the entrance."
Ning Xiang was suddenly stunned, her eyes full of surprise. It felt like something that was originally just in a painting suddenly appeared under her eyes, which was indescribably awkward.
Lu Feng looked at Wu Ying. Before that, he already knew that the spears at the entrance were casually damaged by the latter, who had also seen such murals.
But when he asked specifically whether the tomb was a monarch of a certain dynasty during the Four Tribulations and Five Tribulations era, Wu Ying did not respond much.
Now, watching Wu Ying look at the weird and shocked look on his face when he looked at the two statues...
Lu Feng understood that the latter must have discovered something.
Waiting to speak.
But Wu Ying suddenly sat down outside the palace room.
Then he took out a thick classic book from his luggage and started reading it by himself.
From the old yellow color on the edges of the classics, it can be seen that this book seems to be a certain age.
Lu Feng looked at Wu Ying's engrossed search, with deep confusion lingering in his expression. He didn't bother him for a moment. Faced with the layout of the two statues that he didn't recognize, he didn't break into the palace easily.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the inner pages of the classics.
A flash of light flashed through Lu Feng's eyes, and he saw that it actually listed the details of a territory, an ancient tomb and even a powerful treasure house, and only a small part was marked with a red cross, which meant that it was already broken.
The vast majority of them are still buried in this world.
What Wu Ying was looking for at the moment was the introduction to this part of the tomb that had not yet been excavated, focusing on the time period from the Fourth Tribulation to the Fifth Tribulation.
As he read through the pages, the confusion on Wu Ying's face increased instead of decreasing, and she even murmured:
'It's really weird, it's so weird.'
'The tomb of Ghost Faced King Tu has a distinct scene...'
'If it weren't for him... then there would only be Lord Xie Tian, but how could the monarch's mausoleum be built here?'
…
After a long time, Wu Ying slowly closed the page of the book and looked at the two statues in the palace, her eyes still full of doubts.
"Brother Wu, can you tell me something conveniently?"
Lu Feng asked again tentatively.
Seeing such ancient books, he already understood that Wu Ying was hesitant to speak before. Maybe it involved him in the secret of robbing the tomb, so he didn't want to say too much.
But it was related to the life and death of his disciples. Even if it involved too much, he still had to ask a few questions.
Wu Ying was silent for a moment, and finally began to talk about the confusion in his heart, "Brother Lu, have you ever heard of the tyrant of the generation - Mr. Xie Tianjun?"
Lu Feng had a stern look on his face. Although he didn't know much about the character 'Xie Tianjun', he did know the names of those powerful people who had been born in the long history.
Later generations also compiled lists of these powerful people. There are countless strong people throughout the ages, less than tens of thousands in each era.
But there are only less than a hundred people who can be included in this list.
And the name of Lord Xie Tian, Hao Ran is on the list.
This made Lu Feng not shocked and pale.
"Could this tomb in front of me be the tomb of Lord Xie Tian?"
Wu Ying shook his head, "Although the tomb of Lord Xie Tian has not been discovered yet, according to the constant consideration and speculation of our ancestors of the Thieving Sect, the tomb of Lord Xie Tian should not be in this area."
"There is no record of Lord Xie Tian setting foot in this place throughout the ages."
"And with his status and his arrogance in life, how could he be buried in such a remote underground place after his death?"
"But this..." Wu Ying raised his head, looked straight at the palace, and said in a deep voice: "These two civil and military sages are clearly the most distinctive representatives of the 'Xie Dynasty'!"
"As Lord Xie Tian's right-hand man, it is a status symbol of his generation of monarchs. Whether it is a portrait or a statue, it stands to reason that it should not be allowed to be used by others, let alone such a 'burial' nature."
"But why does this place appear more than once!?"
Ning Xiang asked worriedly: "Are these two civil and military sages very powerful?"
Thinking that the place where he, Qian Xin and others dispersed should be not far from here. At that time, they had also experienced the previous maze, but the escape exit was different. When they mistakenly entered a poisonous miasma, they would risk their lives. The aftermath of poison.
After Gan Xin and the others escaped from danger, they might have encountered this palace, and with no way out, they might have ventured in.
Therefore, Ning Xiang felt even more concerned about the dangerous situation inside.
Wu Ying responded: "Wang Tu Anbang, Xie regulates Yin and Yang."
"These four words are the summary of the entire Xie Dynasty in later generations."
Ning Xiang was confused and stared at Wu Ying with blank eyes, as if to blame the latter for pretending to be serious and not speaking clearly.
Wu Ying was stared at awkwardly, coughed and explained: "Now that we have met, let me tell you about these two statues first."
Wu Ying raised his hand and pointed to the left: "Wen Xie and Kou Mu are the right-hand men of Lord Xie Tian. According to historical records, Kou Mu is a man of clever plans and quick changes. He can change the world with just one word. The development of the Xie Dynasty It has a lot to do with stability and his support;"
Then he pointed to the right and continued: "Wu Xie and Zhang Yi are the right arms of Lord Xie Tian. Historical records about him are limited. They only mention that he is responsible for the safety of Lord Xie Tian and the security of the palace." Yes, but judging from the fact that he is as famous as Wen Xie and Kou Mu, I am afraid he is by no means a simple figure;"
"The limited historical records just illustrate the horror of his existence. During his reign, no major incident that harmed Lord Xie Tian ever happened in the palace."
Ning Xiang nodded in understanding: "Xie manages Yin and Yang. The word Yin and Yang refers to Wen Xie Kou Mu and Wu Xie Zhang Yi, right?"
"Then what does the 'Wang Tu' in Wang Tu Anbang mean? How can he still be ranked ahead of the two of them?"
Wu Ying's face condensed, and she said with a hint of awe: "Ghost Faced King Tu - Xie Si'an."
"He is Lord Xie Tian's half-brother. He is at least half of the credit for the establishment of the Xie Dynasty!"
"If he hadn't been interested in the throne, otherwise the name of Lord Xie Tian would still be assigned to someone."
Lu Feng thought of the narrative murals he had seen before and couldn't help but interrupt: "Is that the man wearing the evil ghost mask in the portrait?"
Wu Ying nodded.
Ning Xiang also curiously added: "Is he wearing a mask because he is too ugly?"
"No," Wu Ying quickly corrected: "It is said that Xie Si'an is not only not ugly, but also extremely beautiful. He is a rare handsome man in the world."
Ning Xiang was stunned: "Then why does he still wear that ugly and ferocious mask?"
Wu Ying explained: "The more widely circulated theory is that he was afraid that the murderous sins he had committed would be seen by God and implicate his brother, so he did not hesitate to destroy his appearance and never show his true face to others for the rest of his life."
Ning Xiang's eyes suddenly widened, and her eyes were full of curiosity. It was hard to imagine what kind of person this was.
Lu Feng was also a little curious. Based on what Wu Ying said, this person was obviously very affectionate, but how could the narrative mural depict him as so cold, ruthless, sadistic and bloodthirsty...
Wu Ying's words sounded again at this time: "The development of the Xie Dynasty can be divided into two parts from beginning to end, one part is 'inside' and the other part is 'outside'."
"The two xies of yin and yang are responsible for the internal affairs, assisting the lord Xie in managing state affairs and stabilizing internal affairs;"
"Ghost-faced King Tu is in charge of the outside world, helping his brother to kill all the demons and evil spirits;"
"Because of the chaos of that era, the establishment of a dynasty would inevitably lead to killings one after another, especially the rise of a small border force, which was an inhumane and bloody road."
"The establishment of the Xie Dynasty and the reputation of Lord Xie Tian as a tyrant are largely due to the bloody path blazed by Ghost Faced King Tu!"
