The old man seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and spoke again after a while.
"Now, if I take this relic, I can also return to my roots, right?"
The last sentence sounded like he was talking to himself, but also like he was asking Lin Qiye a question.
"If you don't mind, would you like to take me with you to explore the secret realm together?"
Lin Qiye seemed to sense something and quickly responded.
Everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath when they heard this!
"What? Lin Qiye wants to invite that senior to explore the mystery together?"
"My God, with such a person in charge, how can we worry about not being able to break into the ancient tomb?"
"That's right! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I wonder if the old man is willing to give me the honor?"
In the live broadcast room, countless viewers could no longer hold back and started posting comments, looking forward to the old man's response.
And in the hall, there was silence.
After a while, the old man sighed and nodded, saying, "My friend, what you said is very much in line with my opinion. However, this journey is extremely dangerous, and life and death are unpredictable. If something goes wrong, I can't afford it."
When everyone heard this, their hearts sank: It seems that this master is planning to refuse.
Lin Qiye didn't care and smiled calmly: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by heaven. Although I am young, I have experienced a lot. If I can really walk with the seniors, I will not hesitate even if I die!"
He actually had the courage to face death head on.
The old man's heart trembled, and when he looked at Lin Qiye again, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Okay, okay! In that case, I will respectfully obey your orders! From today on, I will go to the Netherworld with you, the younger generation, to explore this thousand-year-old mystery!"
He slapped his thigh, stood up suddenly, and actually agreed!
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but cheer and rejoice.
With this senior in charge, what else do they have to worry about?
Lin Qiye also showed a happy expression, and said loudly: "I am lucky to have the help of the senior today! We are ready and can set off at any time!"
"Okay! It's settled then. Everyone, take a break. I'll lead the way in a moment and head straight to the Moon Shadow Ruins!"
The old man looked dignified and seemed to have suddenly become decades younger and full of energy.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was even more excited.
"Fuck! Isn't this plot too exciting?! The big boss was won over in one encounter, this wave is worth it!"
"My Qiye is amazing! He destroyed the powerful enemy in a moment of laughter and conversation! His eloquence and methods are truly admirable!"
"That's right! With the help of our seniors, exploring the ruins will be a piece of cake. I guarantee you will have a smooth journey!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. Who knows what secrets are hidden in the ancient tomb? Maybe even you can't figure it out yourself."
"That's right. Everyone should be on high alert. After all, this is a thousand-year-old tomb. Who knows how many strange dangers are hidden there."
The audience was talking one after another, full of anticipation for the mystery that was about to be unveiled.
And with the joining of the old man, everyone's confidence increased.
After a short rest, the group regrouped and, under the guidance of the old man, set out again, heading towards the thousand-year-old tomb!
For thousands of years, the secrets of the ancient country of Yueying have always been buried in the mist of history.
Now, this group of uninvited guests are about to unveil the long-hidden mystery.
And what kind of thrilling and unexpected adventure will follow?
Led by the old man, the crowd followed a hidden passage and gradually went deeper underground.
As they continued to move forward, the surrounding environment also underwent subtle changes.
The bluestone-paved corridor was gradually replaced by a gravel-covered narrow path.
Some strange murals and inscriptions gradually appeared on the stone walls on both sides.
"Senior, what do these patterns represent?" Lin Qiye asked curiously, pointing to a mural depicting the stars.
The old man looked at the mural for a long time before he slowly said:
“This is the star plate used by the Yueying survivors to record celestial phenomena. According to legend, our ancestors used it to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and foresee the future.” “Oh? It’s so mysterious?” Lin Qiye became interested and examined the star plate carefully.
The pattern is intricate and covered with dense inscriptions and symbols.
In the center, there is a bright full moon painted, emitting a faint silver light.
The moon is surrounded by countless stars, as if telling some mysterious prophecy.
"The Yueying clan has always been good at observing the celestial phenomena and understanding people's hearts. This divine revelation may indicate that a great moment is about to come."
The old man muttered to himself, his eyes becoming more profound.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye couldn't help but concentrate and think carefully.
As a tomb raider, he also knew a thing or two about these ancient metaphysical studies.
However, the mystery of the star disk in front of him was far from ordinary. Even he could not see through the mystery.
"Forget it. The secret cannot be revealed. Let's focus on the present and take it one step at a time."
The old man turned around and continued walking without saying anything more.
Lin Qiye and the others looked at each other and had no choice but to follow closely.
The further we walked, the more eerie the atmosphere became.
The corridor became narrower and narrower, and the patterns carved on the stone walls on both sides became more and more bizarre and terrifying.
Some depict demons and monsters with ferocious fangs bared.
Some depict battles between humans and beasts, with bloody and brutal scenes.
"Why are all the murals here so scary?"
Yang Mi couldn't help but shudder, her eyes full of fear.
"I've heard about how strange ancient tombs are. I didn't expect Yueying to be no exception."
Wu Jing touched the cold back of his neck and said uncomfortably.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and nothing will happen to you."
Lin Qiye clenched the long sword in his hand, his eyes as firm as a torch.
But the next moment, he suddenly stopped and his face changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Long asked nervously.
I saw a very strange pattern carved on the cave wall in front of me!
In the picture, a mysterious man in a black robe, holding a sickle, is looking down coldly at the piles of bones at his feet.
Behind him, there are countless ghost shadows surrounding him, with green faces and fangs, as if they are worshipping something.
At the feet of the mysterious man, there was a bronze tripod, emitting a chilling cold air!
"Isn't this the Demon Refining Cauldron?!"
Wu Jing screamed in shock, his face full of horror.
They had encountered such evil creatures before in the ancient tomb of gods and demons.
I didn’t expect to see its traces in the Yueying Ruins!
Lin Qiye's expression was solemn, his eyes fixed on the strange mural, and he remained silent for a long time.
"There must be something fishy about this." He muttered to himself, seeming to be thinking about something.
As a veteran tomb raider, Lin Qiye keenly realized that there must be some unknown secret hidden behind this mural.
And this secret may be the key to connecting the Ancient Tomb of the Gods and Demons and the Moon Shadow Ruins!
"Qiye, have you figured out anything?" Cheng Long came forward and asked in a low voice. (End of this chapter)
