Zhou Sheng's voice seemed a little unclear, but his tone was not serious, as if he was chatting casually.
Qi Ziyu replied: "Because I don't know the way to live forever."
"Not long ago, someone told me that I can live forever because of the blessing of God. As long as I return here, I can find the answer to that year."
"But the man said, I can't be a selfish person, otherwise the Heavenly Lord will be disappointed in me and take back this blessing."
Although Qi Ziyu has been living in circles and in confusion for so many years, he still has the feeling that he has not lived enough.
Qi Ziyu continued: "Only if I return to the General's Tomb with others can I find the answer and method, and can I share the method with others."
"So I thought of using the church to promote immortality and get people to sign up to explore with me."
Qi Ziyu originally thought that people who go to church to pray often seek God's protection. So as long as they can protect them, there shouldn't be much difference between God and God.
But in fact, before Qi Ziyu even preached a word, there were already very few believers left in the church, and some even wanted to drive him out.
The people who listened to him on the bench afterward were not Christians at all, they were all passers-by brought from nearby.
"Then I have been preventing you from bringing people down and trying every means to scare them away. Doesn't that conflict with your purpose?" Zhou Sheng asked.
When others wanted to leave previously, Qi Ziyu not only did not stop them once, but also proactively cooperated to send the tourists back safely.
Qi Ziyu explained: "Because I also felt that it was a bit dangerous to continue exploring. I didn't want so many people to die in the tomb."
"In that case, I will definitely be caught, and once I am caught, it won't be long before someone discovers the secret of my immortality, and I might be kidnapped for research."
Qi Ziyu is obviously an immortal person, but he has been cautious in his actions for so many years and never breaks any laws or regulations because he is afraid of being caught.
If it were anyone else with such a special physique, I'm afraid they would have already placed themselves in a superior position during the changes of the times.
Either become a rich man, or become a politician, but in short, he will not still look like a down-and-out loser to this day.
Qi Ziyu's long life was really confusing. He didn't understand anything, and he didn't know where he would go next.
But in a sense, he is also a confused lucky man.
Qi Ziyu smiled, as if he wanted to ease the tense atmosphere: "The person asked me to bring people to search, and there was no limit on the number. I thought that bringing one would be considered a leader."
"Now it seems that I am quite lucky to have met a master on the road who can accompany me back here to crack the mechanism."
Zhou Sheng asked again: "Who is that person in your mouth?" ωωw.
Qi Ziyu shook his head and replied: "I don't know, I just see him in my dreams every night. His face and body are covered in mist, but what he said will be remembered very clearly after I wake up.
"
Zhou Shengben also wanted to ask why he didn't suspect that this dream was just his own imagination, and that the so-called method of obtaining immortality by returning to the General's Tomb was just the embodiment of a certain obsession of his.
After all, it doesn’t sound very reliable to believe what appears in dreams.
However, the tomb was already in front of him, so Zhou Sheng suppressed his doubts for the time being and took out a rope to tie Qi Ziyu around his waist.
Qi Ziyu followed the method last time and approached the third lamp.
The tomb is surrounded by a total of eight lampstands. According to the division of the lampstands, it can also be counted as having eight walls.
Qi Ziyu's action went very smoothly this time. After a while, with a slight shaking, the bricks and stones on the third wall slid off, revealing the murals on the wall.
It seems that the temperature of the wick is indeed the key to triggering the mechanism.
On the mural, it seems to be a school, with several young students standing in the position of lecturers, while the old master is sitting on the students' seats.
This mural is also only half a piece, and only shows half of the school, but the content of the other half can be inferred from this.
Qi Ziyu quickly asked the fourth mural to be displayed. The content of the picture was as expected, but in the lower right corner of the picture, there were two words written in seal script: Wenzhang.
Obviously, this should be the name of this mural.
Qi Ziyu lit several other lamps one after another.
There are a total of four paintings on the eight walls. Except for the first one, half of which cannot be seen. The contents of the remaining three paintings are "Questions", "Trial", and "Devotion".
In the scene of the trial, there are rows of people tied to the grill, and in the center of the scene is a man wearing a black robe with no facial features on his face.
The painting method of omitting facial features was very common in that era, but when Zhou Sheng thought of the faceless deity, he was not sure whether this was due to painting techniques or whether the executioner really had no face.
The picture of dedication is very simple. The whole picture is a sea. In the upper left corner, there is a woman hugging the sea. In the upper right corner, there is a man kissing the sea. In the lower left corner, there is a child sleeping on the sea. In the lower right corner, there is
An old man kneels down on the sea.
This painting obviously does not comply with gravity and logic. The postures of the woman and the man seem to be parallel to the sea water, as if the sea water is an upright waterfall.
Children and the elderly, however, seem to ignore gravity and can float on the sea surface out of thin air without sinking.
Not only is the content of the picture very illogical, but even the name of this mural seems to have nothing to do with the picture.
The surrounding ground was in a mess, with scattered wall tiles everywhere.
But Zhou Sheng felt that the poisonous fog here seemed to have become much thinner. He was clearly looking at these pictures with his eyes open at the moment, but his eyes felt less sore than before.
Qi Ziyu said: "How about I try lighting the second lamp again?"
"good."
There should be some connection between the stories of these four murals, and the hidden part of the first painting is the object where people kneel and worship.
Zhou Sheng had an intuition that the image of this character was very important. If he could see the appearance in his painting, he might be able to figure something out.
Qi Ziyu imitated the actions just now, first heating the wick and then fixing the candle on the lamp.
But the second wall remained motionless.
Eight lamps illuminated the tomb chamber. Under the light, the entire tomb chamber seemed not so lonely, but instead had a hint of warmth.
Zhou Sheng suddenly remembered that Qi Ziyu said that he had seen eight lights light up at the same time, but at that time, the wall did not respond.
Zhou Sheng felt that he had grasped the key: "First put out one lamp, and then try to light the second lamp."
