Chapter 20 The King and the High Priest

Chu Yun directly ordered the guards to walk towards the scanned area.

After entering the area of ​​the imperial mausoleum, we found a sheltered place nearby and set up camp.

At this moment, the night was deep, pitch black, but the bright moonlight still shone with its brilliance, like a lamp illuminating the entire world. The stars in the sky twinkled faintly, reflecting the bright moonlight, keeping the night visibility at a high level. However, the night was not as safe as the day.

Chu Jun asked everyone to rest for a night. The vital signs of the life forms detected by Pino have been stable, and there is probably no danger to their lives. It doesn't matter if they go searching for them for a night.

They had been traveling most of the day, and Mo Heng hadn't had a chance to spend some quality time with Chu Yun. Now that they were in the same tent, there was no reason for Mo Heng to let Chu Yun go.

Considering the poor sound insulation in the tent and the boy's pride, Mo Heng could only do something less intense.

Halfway through, Chu Jun couldn't help it anymore, the sound was about to spill out of her mouth, so she pulled Mo Heng's hand over to cover her mouth.

This feeling was too exciting. He had to hold back from letting others hear his voice, and at the same time endure the physical pleasure. This was something Chu Jun had never experienced before. He became excited and somewhat addicted to this feeling.

Mo Heng is now an experienced master, and he won't let his master get tired. He just works hard for a while and then rests for a while, which can be said to be very considerate.

Mo Heng had been so awful last night. Chu Jun felt exhausted when he woke up in the morning, but he still had to continue the search and rescue mission. After all, Mo Heng was just an ordinary attendant, Xiao Mo. Not only could he not help at all, but he also made things worse.

Earl felt that the tall and strong attendant beside Chu Jun was very strange. Not only did he wear a mask all day long, but he also wrapped himself tightly. Most importantly, he saw this attendant enter the high priest's tent last night and he has not come out since then.

This morning, he was the one who helped the high priest out of the tent. The high priest was staggering, with redness at the corners of his eyes, and seemed to be unwell.

Thinking of this, Earl stepped forward and asked, "High Priest, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Chu Jun glanced at the man beside him, then said, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night. Let's search the area today. If Yulis left the oasis, he might have come here. There might be some clues here."

Afraid that Earl would find out something if he asked more questions, Chu Jun quickly changed the subject and talked about business.

Earl's train of thought was indeed distracted. He felt that what Chu Jun said made sense. He had finally found the clue and was unwilling to give up without finding something new.

Earl and Chu Jun each led a team to search in different directions. Chu Jun sent Vic to accompany Earl and his team. Firstly, he was worried that they were unfamiliar with the area and might get lost. Secondly, he was worried that Wen Su might have some plans for the imperial tomb. It was always a good idea to be on guard against these things.

After the two teams separated, Chu Jun no longer concealed his true intentions and walked towards the location of the life form, instructing the guards to start digging in the sand.

The guards picked up tools and started digging the sand. After about half an hour, they felt something they had bumped into. After clearing the sand on the surface, a stone door appeared.

This stone door appears to have weathered the ravages of time, its patterns and decorations blurred by wear and tear. Yet, it still stands, as if telling the world of its former glory. One of the key reasons this door has survived so perfectly is that it is buried deep beneath the sand, shielded from the erosion of wind and rain.

Although the inscription on the door has also been affected to some extent, it is much clearer than the stone inscriptions elsewhere, and some ancient symbols and patterns can still be recognized. These inscriptions may record a piece of history, a culture, or a mysterious legend, waiting for those who are destined to decipher the story behind them.

Mo Heng stepped forward and carefully examined the inscription above. He said, "This should be the entrance to the tomb of a king from the previous dynasty."

There were no outsiders around at this time, and Mo Heng took off the mask on his face.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Mo Heng didn't ask any more questions and asked the guards to open the underground door.

The door that had been sealed for many days was finally opened, and everything inside was finally revealed to the light of day.

All Yulis knew was that he had been walking in the desert for a long time, but finally fell into quicksand. All he saw before him was yellow, the yellow desert and the unreachable sun above his head.

When Jules woke up, he found himself in a tunnel. He had no idea how much time had passed. There was no sunlight, no one else, only seemingly endless tunnels and secret rooms. The entrance to the tunnel was buried in sand, and he couldn't dig to the bottom.

There was no other way out, so Yulis had to find another way out.

On the first day, Yulis couldn't find any food or water, so he had to keep walking in the tunnel. He was very hungry, and he wondered if several days had passed, otherwise why would he be so tired.

The next day, Yulis discovered an underground river through another broken tunnel. He no longer cared whether the water was clean or not. He just scooped it up and drank it. He finally solved the problem of water source, but he still couldn't find food and seemed to be unable to walk.

On the third day, Yulis took some water and set out again, marking his route on the rock walls in case he lost his way. Finally, his persistence paid off. He discovered an underground cavern with winding tree roots entwined in the surrounding rock walls. Looking up, he could see tree trunks protruding from the rock walls, but no treetops. He found edible fruit near the trunks, which gave him hope that he could survive for a while longer.

On the fourth day, with the mentality of not living off his savings, Yulis set out again. This time he found a room full of dry food. Yulis was very happy. Although he didn't know when he could get out or whether he could get out, Yulis still didn't give up hope.

A long time must have passed. The trunk of the great tree shed its bark, and the underground river's current slowed from turbulent to gentle. Actually, Julis didn't know where he'd found the fortitude to persevere until now. He just felt he shouldn't have given up like that, as if compromising would have been a blessing to someone.

That day was the same as usual. Yulis woke up, went to the river to fetch a pot of water, and then took some dry food to continue exploring. Although Yulis explored slowly, he had explored most of the underground.

This time, Yulis walked to the end of one of the paths, sat down to eat some dry food, and prepared to rest here for the night. This was the place closest to the ground that Yulis could find. There was a huge stone door in the room, but no matter how hard he pushed, the stone door would not budge.

There might be a chance to escape outside the door, so every once in a while, Yulis would come to check. Maybe one day the stone door would collapse and he could get out.

Today should be my lucky day, but when I woke up, I saw the sunshine I hadn't seen for a long time.

Someone was looking down against the light. It must be a god, Julis thought.
