One hundred and seventy-four, the tomb of the king
In a place in the fog, Helian Ruoyu hid behind a statue. This statue was the statue that Ling Xi had encountered before, and the crossed-out characters were still there.
No. 1 exhaled bloody mist from his mouth and whispered to her: "Hide here and don't make a sound, I'll kill that mechanism."
"But you..." Helian Ruoyu grabbed the sleeve of No. 1 and hesitated.
No. 1 shook her head, shook her hand away and walked into the fog.
The sound of the mechanism was everywhere, chaotic, and full of explosions. After a stick of incense, No. 1 and his followers walked out of the fog in a mess, their faces were covered with black and gray, and even the spiritual armor on their bodies was damaged.
No. 1's arm dripped blood, supported another follower, and walked slowly to Helian Ruoyu.
Helian Ruoyu leaned out, bit off a piece of fabric on his sleeve with his teeth, and came to the front of several people and said, "I'll bandage your wounds."
No. 1 did not refuse, and sat next to the statue, stretched out his hand to remove one arm armor.
The arm armor was severely damaged and half cracked, obviously without any protective effect. No. 1 threw away half of the arm armor, and there was a bloody wound under his arm.
Helian Ruoyu squatted down, bandaged No. 1's arm lightly, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
No. 1 sneered: "I don't feel any pain."
Helian Ruoyu laughed dryly and accidentally saw a hole in the sleeve of No. 1's hand. The hole was stained with blood, and he could see several strange blood lines under his skin. Helian Ruoyu pretended to wipe the wound for No. 1 and wiped off the blood.
The bloodline under the skin was clearly visible, and Helian Ruoyu couldn't help but look at him for a few breaths. No. 1 noticed something was wrong and pushed away Helian Ruoyu's hand and said, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Helian Ruoyu quickly avoided his gaze.
"I'll do it myself." No. 1 bit one side with his teeth and tied the wound with his other hand.
"You said that you are a burden, why are you always following Ling Xi? Are you dragging him back?" Number One glanced at Helian Ruoyu and asked bluntly without hesitation.
Helian Ruoyu didn't know what to answer, his eyes flashed, and he let go of his hand in frustration: "I know."
"Ah! Ah!" One of the followers of No. 1 suddenly screamed, churning in pain.
"What's wrong?" No. 1 asked immediately.
Another follower shook his head after checking, "He can't do it anymore, he's poisoned."
No. 1 sighed after hearing this, pulled out his sword and came to the man and said, "If you want to blame, you will be just a victim, and we will be a chess piece." No. 1's sword tipped down, and blood stained his armor and face, reflecting his coldness.
Helian Ruoyu was not willing to stay with these people in his heart. Only when she stayed by Ling Xi would she feel so relieved, which would make her not have to worry.
"Have you found Ling Xi's trace?" No. 1 took back his sword and asked coldly.
"There are footprints in front of this statue, and it must be Ling Xi who came." The follower reported.
"Then he should be not far from here. Let's hurry up and get along with him. If this continues, it won't take long."
"yes!"
"Wait!" Helian Ruoyu saw two figures running from the fog facing him.
It turned out to be a crazy woman. Another figure then came and grabbed the woman. It was Ling Xi. "Ling Xi?" The worries in Helian Ruoyu's eyes turned into joy. He stepped forward and hugged Ling Xi's neck, unwilling to part.
Ling Xi wasted a lot of energy before he broke free from Helian Ruoyu, looked at No. 1 and said, "What a coincidence?"
"This person..." No. 1's eyes were on the crazy woman and frowned, "Aren't she from the team we drove away?" No. 1 drew her sword and was stopped by Ling Xi.
"Hey, don't kill her first, listen to my explanation." Ling Xi spoke and explained all this. Only then did No. 1 put down his sword, looked at the crazy woman coldly and said, "What are you keeping her for?"
"What did you listen to her first?"
No. 1 concentrated on her mind and heard the crazy woman's mutter. She didn't know what frightened her here, but she was so crazy that she kept whispering: "Nan! Nan! They are all in the south!"
"Difficult? South?" No. 1 asked, "She refers to the tomb. Logically speaking, the tomb will indeed face the Yin land of the South Pole, but you should also know that this is a world. The center is the tomb. Let's find the south."
Ling Xi shook his head and looked at the statue: "Do you think, if there is no such fog, how should you erect this statue? Should you face it to the tomb door or the entrance to a world?"
No. 1 smiled and said, "You are really tricky. What do you mean is that the back of this statue is where the entire tomb is located?"
"Yes, we are walking straight on the ground. Maybe in an incense stick, this mist array will be released." Ling Xi continued: "I saw a mechanical debris on the road. Have you encountered it?"
"I met that thing. Although it was a little troublesome, I brought enough talismans. Even if I met again, I would be sure to eliminate it." No. 1 said coldly, looking at the crazy woman: "Do you know what Nan she was talking about?"
"It's the south, it naturally refers to the place where the statue faces. It is likely that the formation is located, which is hidden at the entrance where we enter." Ling Xi concluded.
"In this way, we will mark our own lines and leave. I will go to the south to see. If we can break his maze, the mist will naturally dissipate. You may be able to touch the tomb gate." No. 1 threw a talisman to Ling Xi: "This talisman used to save lives, if you encounter danger, you will use it. Lord Yu Feng is reluctant to let something happen to you."
Ling Xi nodded and put away the talisman.
He and Helian Ruoyu walked forward side by side, leaving a crack on the ground with the Earth-Cracking Divine Ridge to return as soon as possible. However, Ling Xi had indeed reached the top.
A gate in front of me that looked down on the truth blocked the way.
Ling Xi touched the cold door crack and did not move at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Helian Ruoyu: "It may be possible that the gate will be opened after the formation is broken. We are waiting here."
Helian Ruoyu hesitated for a while before grabbing Ling Xi's arm and asked, "Hey, in your eyes, am I a burden?"
"You," Ling Xi laughed and pointed the tip of her nose: "What are you telling the truth? But even if you are a canary, that is the canary in my cage."
"What do you mean?"
"You have helped me after all, so it's no burden." Ling Xi whispered.
"Where is it? When did I help you!?" Helian Ruoyu asked back without remembering it.
"Did you forget? When I was threatened by Changyan as a hostage and wanted to kill me, it was me who sacrificed my life to save me." Ling Xi said softly.
Helian Ruoyu shook his head: "How many times have you saved me? That's my rightful thing, but you weren't back then."
"I was so stupid back then, can I do it? Don't mention this matter, and don't mention it in the future." Ling Xi didn't want to bother with Helian Ruoyu too much. Helian Ruoyu always felt ashamed of him, which was one of the reasons why Ling Xi was unwilling to mention it.
The fog suddenly became thinner and gradually shrank and disappeared. Ling Xi quickly looked up and saw the original appearance of the gate thoroughly.
The majestic and dignified door of this gate was far more powerful than the ones that Ling Xi saw in the extreme south at that time. Compared with this gate, the door on the south side was more like a side door.
"This place must be the main hall of Emperor Hunyuan." Ling Xi looked back and saw that the land composed of bones in front of him was deserted. The endless remains of the battlefield were hidden here for thousands of years, and no one knew about it.
Where they stood was the center of this thousand-year-old tomb. As long as they opened the door, the main hall was behind it.
"Ling Xi!" No. 1's voice floated from a distance, and several figures rushed to Ling Xi.
Ling Xi did not see the crazy woman and asked, "Where is that woman?"
"We have settled her, you don't have to worry. As long as she doesn't run around, nothing will happen." No. 1 responded casually and looked at the gate of the main hall: "This is the main gate of Emperor Hunyuan? I didn't expect it to be in this direction."
"Do you want to open it?" asked a follower.
"Open, of course you have to open." Ling Xi and No. 1 spoke in unison.
Ling Xi took out the residual picture, poured in spiritual power and let it stick it on the main door.
The main entrance was shining and began to creak. The main entrance had not been opened for a long time, but there was no dust.
No. 1 opened his arms and protected Ling Xi, looking at the open gap and said, "I'm advanced."
"What are you afraid of? Will there be mechanisms in the main hall?" Ling Xi pushed away his arm and walked in first.
After passing through the thick crack in the door, Ling Xi looked up and saw the scene inside the hall.
The lights are still burning, and the golden light in the hall is scattered, exhausting all the luxury. Each gold brick is carved extremely finely, and almost no flaws are seen.
His Highness knelt on four rows of people on both sides, each wearing civil and military uniforms, and kneeled here.
No. 1 and others also squeezed in one after another. A follower looked around and said, "The Hunyuan Emperor is indeed luxurious. This highness actually has dozens of statues. He still wants to continue to be the emperor after his death."
"No, these... are people." No. 1 pushed away the hair hanging from the brim of a military officer's hat, leaving behind the face of the premature Chenghua bone. The bones were wearing brightly-colored python official uniforms, and their two empty eye sockets looked at the ground. Even though they died, they still maintained this pilgrimage posture.
"These dozens of ministers who should have died voluntarily." No. 1 looked at their throats, and all the bones were black in their throats, and then said, "I died after taking poison."
Ling Xi stepped on the steps alone and walked towards the throne. At the throne, there was a pair of spiritual weapon armor and stomach. The armor and stomach carved with cloud patterns of hundreds of beasts and a gold-burned base, which was the tomb of Emperor Hunyuan.
"When a person dies, he still has to be so mean to be a fool. What do you think of this group of people following Hunyuan wholeheartedly?" Ling Xi picked up the helmet of Emperor Hunyuan and turned his head to ask several people.
"It shows that Emperor Hunyuan knows power and can make these people loyal to death, which is also considered capable. He is talented and able to control people, so he can go from a commoner to his peak in the past."
Ling Xi could not guess what the Hunyuan Emperor had experienced back then. Now the only grave left to the world is this tomb, and it has been visited by several groups of people.
Ling Xi looked at the helmet in his hand. After thousands of years of rust, the patterns have become mottled. This is indeed a good spiritual armor, but Ling Xi is not interested in using dead things. The group of people who came here hundreds of years ago did not move this armor must be their reason.
However, the follower of No. 1's men was jealous and said to No. 1: "Will we take this armor away for research?"
No. 1 was too lazy to care about what the men under him wanted to do, and said casually: "If you want to take it, it's up to you. As long as you are not afraid of death, then take it away."
"Okay, thank you sir." The follower agreed happily, and came to the throne in two or three steps. He picked up the armor and wanted to put it on. He also reached out to Ling Xi and said, "Sir Ling Xi, can you give me the helmet?"
