Chapter 536 The General's Tomb

"Tick tock..."

The sound of dripping water rang in my ears, Zhang Xiaoman was walking in this ancient tomb that had been buried for nearly a thousand years.

By his side, the star guards were like the most loyal bodyguards, guarding his side.

In his hand, a small ball emitting bright white light was floating in his palm, illuminating the surrounding space.

This is naturally the lighting technique he used, a necessary skill for mages in the legend.

"If these plants didn't have dark energy fluctuations, I would even think that I met another emperor vine."

Zhang Xiaoman stretched out his hand to push aside a vine hanging in front of his eyes, and looked around.

The environment here is quite different from what he imagined at first.

If you want to enter the underground cave, you need to pass through the general's tomb first.

Originally, in his guess, the general's tomb should not be a large ancient tomb, at most it would only have a main tomb, an antechamber, and two tomb passages.

But who would have thought that the size of this general's tomb is much larger than that little-known small tomb.

The corridor in the front hall alone seems to be able to accommodate two cars passing side by side.

Now, after a long period of accumulation, the walls here are already rotten.

Some places are still dripping with water, and there are strange and unknown plants growing on them.

I don't know if it was originally there on the water blue planet, or it came from another dimension.

"Now I'm a little curious. Which general does this tomb belong to? It's such a large scale. It's just that it hasn't been discovered. Otherwise, I haven't heard of it until now."

Zhang Xiaoman doesn't know how deep underground he is probably, anyway, this passage has always been walking downwards.

He walked for a while, and finally reached the end of the tomb passage, and came to a spacious hall,

There is a lot of space here, with three sarcophagi placed in the middle, and the surrounding environment is also carefully decorated, and there is even a rockery with a water curtain on the side.

The three sarcophagi were all very large, and one of them had been destroyed by external force, exposing a skeleton and some gold and silver jewelry inside.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at those things, and then looked around, and found that there were some porcelain scattered around, some of which were damaged, and some were fortunately preserved.

"These are all antiques...the general's tomb nearly 1000 years ago, the antiques inside should be worth a lot..."

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the style of painting.

"Okay, I'm obviously here to fight monsters, why do I suddenly feel like I'm touching Captain Jin."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, he no longer paid attention to these things, if he were the old self, he would be very happy now, right?

But then again, if it was the former self, how could he have the guts to enter such a place?
He walked forward for a certain distance, but suddenly saw three passages at one end of the hall, all of the same shape and size, pitch black, and could not see anything at the other end.

"Three paths? Is this asking me to choose one...?"

Zhang Xiaoman's expression was strange, and he felt that this kind of routine seemed familiar.

If the people who come here are some people who have inherited the secrets of Feng Shui tombs, they will definitely be able to memorize the formulas, and then find the correct path to avoid danger.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know those things.

However, he also has his own way.

Giving instructions to the three star guards, Zhang Xiaoman asked them to walk towards the three dark passages to see which one was the right one.

After waiting for about a minute, two star guards were attacked one after another.

What attacked them was the arrows shot from the surrounding walls, which should be something like a mechanism.

"So it looks like it's going from here?"

Zhang Xiaoman came to the last passage, just about to step over, but received a message from the star guard in front, and was attacked.

"Not here!?"

He looked at the place at the end of the passage unexpectedly, feeling very confused. According to the routine, at least one of the three roads should be a way to survive without traps.

Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his head, and said depressedly:
"Okay, I was taken in anyway. What am I looking for in the main tomb? I'm not here to fight, I'm here to find the underground cave."

Immediately, he gave the three star guards a new order, asking them to find a way to extend down.

After Zhang Xiaoman gave the order, he looked at the walls of the three passages. Although some plants grew and rotted a lot, he didn't seem to see any scratches.

If it is the correct entrance, these monsters should leave footprints or something when they come out of it.

Unless there are other entrances and exits to the underground cave, but even then, there will be at least some traces here.

He waited for a while, but the three star guards all came back, but they couldn't find the way down, and the three passages were all dead ends.

"strangeness……"

Zhang Xiaoman wandered around in the hall, he clearly followed that monster down, why did he get lost here?
Could it be that there is really a fork in the road ahead that I have missed?
When he was thinking about whether to go back and have a look again, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something written on the side of the sarcophagus.

"Well... these are..."

Zhang Xiaoman leaned over and took a look, with surprise in his eyes.

The characters on the sarcophagus are in Chinese language, yes, but they are all in ancient script thousands of years ago. Although they are blurred, they can still be read clearly.

"Eldest son, Lin Xuan."

He read it softly

Because of the existence of being proficient in all languages, as long as it is Chinese, even if it is ancient, he can understand it.

"This is... the second son... Lin Qing."

"Little girl...Lin Lan..."

"Are the three sarcophagi all children of the general? What's the situation? The whole family died together?"

A picture instantly appeared in Zhang Xiaoman's mind.

The owner of the tomb did not know what crime he committed, and was executed by the emperor.

However, it may be that the latter thought of his meritorious service and built a mausoleum for him.

"Since you have several children, will your wife be here?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at the stone platform between the three coffins.

Gently wiped off the dust on it with his hands, only to see a line of words engraved on it in ancient Chinese characters:

My beloved wife, Yuhui, will sleep with me forever and stay with me forever.

The silver bamboo forms the door, and the sky is the household, and we spend the day and night together.

Shenzhou is the bank, and the earth sleeps together, endlessly year after year.

On the way back to the underworld, the nine secluded places, the heartbroken road without regrets.

All too, this meaning is difficult to fill, this feeling is difficult to end, and it cannot be broken without the replacement of heaven and earth.

——Lin Hai's last pen.
