Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Given the unknown situation above, Su Li did not agree with Fatty Wang's idea of ​​rushing in directly. Instead, she had them create a gap and let the symbiotic vines explore the way first.

Accompanying vines: It's okay~ It's okay~ I'm used to it~

By sensing the accompanying vines, they confirmed that there was no one else on top before the four of them pushed aside the stone slabs and climbed up one by one.

The tomb robber's hole was opened in a corner of the tomb chamber. Once inside, it was discovered that the light in the tomb chamber actually came from the light emitted by the countless luminous pearls on the ceiling.

"Wow, this is the damn Heavenly Palace!" Fatty Wang couldn't help but mock as soon as he saw the tomb he was in.

Wu Xie, who followed closely behind, also looked around. What was the connection between this tomb and the so-called Heavenly Palace?

how to say……

The entire tomb chamber looks less like a tomb chamber and more like a display hall of a museum model.

The four walls of the tomb are adorned with four enormous shadow paintings, which seem to depict something.

The relatively empty space was supported by many sturdy wooden pillars. Perhaps due to the pressure at the bottom of the sea, there were probably more than twice as many wooden pillars as in ordinary buildings.

This area, which appears to be the main burial chamber, doesn't have many elaborate burial goods. Instead, there's a model-like object placed where the coffin of the tomb owner should be.

It's like a miniature version of a huge construction project displayed here.

This reminded Wu Xie of the community model that you could see as soon as you entered the sales office, as if a top salesperson would jump out at any moment to introduce the community's apartment layouts and surrounding infrastructure.

Hmm... they wouldn't put a dried-up corpse in the middle of a model apartment building...

Holy crap, a mummified corpse?!

"What's this? A model?" Fatty Wang walked over and looked at the exquisite creation.

"Is the model the focus? Look over there," Wu Xie reminded him.

Fatty Wang looked in the direction Wu Xie was pointing.

"Holy crap!!!! What the hell ate my whole magazine of bullets?!"

Along the way, there were all sorts of corpses and monsters to fight. Now, when Wang Pangzi sees a corpse, his first reaction is to fire a burst of bullets first. He quickly picked up the air rifle in his hand.

"Could this be a model too?" Wu Xie wondered. Putting a model doll inside a model building wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected - the Golden Body of the Immortal (Cat Soul Edition), which can be redeemed for 1500 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

? ? ? ? ?

What strange thing?

"Does the host remember the cat corpse in the drought demon's tomb?" the system prompted.

'So the soul of that cat corpse is in this mummified corpse?'

These two tombs were originally two auspicious burial sites within the same tomb.

The original plan was to bury the deceased's blood relatives to suppress the evil spirits, but the deceased insisted on using the feng shui of the main tomb to raise the corpse and even placed a psychic black cat to catalyze the process.

When this tomb sank to the bottom of the sea, the psychic black cat was still alive. After dying in despair, its spirit entered this tomb through the connection between the two main tombs and took control of the tomb owner's golden statue.

So the tomb owner wanted to cultivate his own guards and use methods to catalyze bizarre creatures, but his methods ended up taking over his golden statue?

Just... play a single '6'

“It’s not a model, it’s the tomb owner,” Zhang Qiling answered Wu Xie’s question, but his attention wasn’t on that; he was staring at a corner of the tomb.

“Wang Zanghai?” Fatty Wang thought of the information about the tomb’s owner.

"uncertain."

Wang Zanghai was a renowned architect during the Ming Dynasty, so it's understandable that he designed and built such a rare underwater tomb for himself. However, considering the explosives hidden inside that golden statue...

Probably not.

"This is a model of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top designed and built by Wang Zanghai. Let's look at the records in these murals." Wu Xie was distracted as he examined the murals on the tomb wall, and he actually managed to see some things.

"What what what?" Fatty Wang chimed in enthusiastically.

"Look at these paintings!"

Following Wu Xie's words, Fatty Wang looked towards the tomb wall.

The snow-capped mountains in the painting were immediately visible.

The vast expanse of white snow blankets the heavens and earth, and the brushstrokes throughout the painting depict the unique geological features of the mountains.

Wang Pangzi, who always researches and plans before each raid, recognized it as a depiction of the main peak of Changbai Mountain.

The second painting is also set on this vast snow-capped mountain, but this time a team appears in the painting.

A funeral procession.

The depiction of clothing in the painting reveals that this is a funeral procession from the Yuan Dynasty.

Judging from the scale of the funeral procession and the size of this celestial palace, the person in the coffin must have been a powerful figure of great status at the time.

The construction of this Heavenly Palace on the Clouds should have taken place during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, a period of dynastic transition.

In the midst of war and chaos, it's astonishing that so much manpower and resources were used to construct such a massive and costly mausoleum. One wonders what kind of person the tomb's occupant was.

The third mural is a close-up depiction of the second funeral procession, and surprisingly, all the members of the procession are women.

This is highly illogical in ancient burial culture, and can be said to be unheard of.

There are many meticulous details depicted. I wonder what the master who carved these strokes was thinking, leaving so many details. Or is this the way of doing things for all the top craftsmen carefully selected by the Nine Clans?

The information displayed in these murals can be described as detailed.

The overall features and the reference points that are not easily changed make these detailed clues extremely obvious.

It's obvious that if you take photos of these paintings and find an indigenous person familiar with the terrain to be your guide, they are 90% certain that they can find the correct location of the Heavenly Palace.

Fatty Wang was already considering the feasibility of making the trip.

"What are you looking at, buddy?"

Wu Xie noticed that Zhang Qiling was not with them while they were studying the murals; his eyes were still fixed on a corner of the tomb.

Wu Xie walked to Zhang Qiling's side and followed his gaze.

Following Zhang Qiling's gaze to the southeast corner, they discovered a huge mirror there. The mirror had been moved, revealing a dark hole that led somewhere unknown...

"Brother, you don't actually want to go in, do you?" Wu Xie felt a chill run down his spine just looking at the dark entrance, as if some ghost or monster might jump out at any moment and give him a quick, close-up kill.

"Click, click, click..." A few crisp sounds of the switch turning on and off.

Wu Xie felt like his eyes were about to be blinded by the light.

"Why think so much? Where the light shines, no evil can hide. Come out, you evil rat! Hehehe..."

Wu Xie heard a string of pretentious, childish remarks from several Soul Hall elders, and only realized it after his eyes had adjusted to the excessively bright light source.

Su Li had somehow gotten to the dark entrance of the cave, where two high-powered incandescent bulbs were placed on either side, illuminating the inside brightly...

Knowing Su Li's tendency to learn from everything she sees, Zhang Qiling, upon hearing this childish remark, cast a complicated look at Wu Xie, Su Li's guardian for the past few days.

That expressionless face seemed to say, "I never expected you to be in this state of mind all the time."

Wu Xie, who inexplicably understood what Zhang Qiling was trying to express, almost broke down.

I'm not!

I don't!

Don't talk nonsense!!!

Ugh, Wang Mengmeng, what kind of movies and TV shows do you usually take your kids to watch?! You're going to ruin your boss's reputation!
