Transcendent Ember

Chapter 758 Tomb Keeper

Ancestor Peak, White Tower.

Ever since Hu Jing's army of undead appeared and the whole world fell into flames of war, Xu Lingshan sat on the steps in front of the White Pagoda every day, silently looking at the west, like a stone sculpture made of clay.

call!
The cold wind was bitter, swirling in the void with hundreds of millions of snow foam, and then drifted down to the mountains, forming a thick layer on the pines and cypresses.

Da da da! ——

A series of footsteps sounded, and President Liu Zhaoying, who had a refined temperament, stepped on the thick snow and came to the gate of the White Pagoda, followed by Master Wusu and Master Ma Delin.

After Hu Jing and the army of undead appeared, they returned to the ancestor peak.

The Association of Archaeologists has regulations that do not allow full-time members of the association to intervene in disputes in the world.Of course, people like Zhang Jichuan and Luo Jieni, who are only nominally registered in the Association of Archaeologists, but actually have other positions, are not restricted by this regulation.

"Your Mightiness."

Chairman Liu Zhaoying stopped in front of Xu Lingshan, cupped his hands respectfully and said, "According to your instructions, the batch of extraordinary items have been delivered to the Dawn Republic."

"Oh."

Xu Lingshan blinked her eyes as if waking up from a dream, and quickly transformed from a stone sculpture into a living human being. She nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

"You're being polite. I'm very grateful to you for agreeing to the request of the Shuguang Republic, and I'm very happy to take this task." President Liu Zhaoying said in a sincere tone.

Xu Lingshan was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "There is only so much Ancestor Peak can do. It's been a long journey, you've worked hard, go back and rest early."

But the three of them did not leave. After a pause, Master Ma Delin on the right suddenly took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, I want to help the Dawn Republic!"

Xu Lingshan withdrew her distant gaze and landed on him.

Master Ma Delin gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, although I am a member of the Archaeologists Association, I am also a member of the Ancient Moon Kingdom. Hu Jing's undead army has killed countless old friends of mine. I cannot turn a blind eye."

As soon as the words fell, Master Wusu on the other side also cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, what Master Ma Delin said is exactly what I want to say. I hope Your Excellency will allow us to serve in the Shuguang Republic."

Chairman Liu Zhaoying didn't speak, but looked at Xu Lingshan with the same expectation.

Xu Lingshan said indifferently: "The Association of Archaeologists has its rules and cannot intervene in disputes in the world."

"That being the case," Master Ma Delin said loudly, "Your Excellency, please allow us to separate from the Association of Archaeologists!"

Xu Lingshan's eyes flashed, and she looked at Chairman Liu Zhaoying and Master Wusu, seeing that they had the same meaning, she reminded: "If you quit the Association of Archaeologists, you won't be able to join it again, and you won't even be able to name it. "

"We know." Master Ma Delin said.

Xu Lingshan: "No regrets?"

President Liu Zhaoying opened his mouth, and his voice was sonorous and forceful: "I don't regret it!"

"Then go." Xu Lingshan said lightly.

The three of them were taken aback, they didn't expect Xu Lingshan to agree so easily, and immediately a strong emotion surged into their hearts.They have since ceased to be members of the Society of Archaeologists.
boom!
The three of them knelt down, kowtowed heavily towards the towering white pagoda, then got up, and left the Ancestor Peak resolutely.

Xu Lingshan stared fixedly at the backs of the three of them going away, and forgot everything for a moment, without me and others, and she didn't even notice that there was an old man in gray beside her.

But another person noticed something, it was the very old old man from Ancestor Peak.

Swish!
The old man of the same age as Lear appeared in front of the white tower, looking at the gray-clothed old man in amazement. The old man who hadn't lost his composure for hundreds of years widened his cloudy eyes, with severe chest pains, and tremblingly said:

"You are"

The old man in gray waved his hand and stopped the old man who was the same generation as Lear.

Xu Lingshan finally noticed the two of them, turned her head suspiciously, and met the eyes of the old man in gray.In an instant, her eyes lit up, and she only felt that she saw the sea of ​​stars and stars.

"You are." Xu Lingshan showed a trace of doubt, and asked neither humble nor overbearing.

The gray-clothed old man smiled. He was the one who collected the corpse of the Time God and Demon in the Isle of Discord, but he was still dressed in green and looked young at the time.

He looked at Xu Lingshan with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Thank you, little girl, as for me... you can call me the gravekeeper."

"Gravekeeper?" Xu Lingshan was puzzled, but the old man who was at the same time as Lear looked thoughtful.

The gray-clothed old man nodded: "The world of tomb guards is the tomb that I guard."

"." Xu Lingshan didn't understand, but her intuition told him that this old man was not simple.

The old man who was at the same time as Lear said, "Girl, since he said so, let's call him that."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his fists, bowed slightly towards the old man, and said, "My name is Chang Sheng. I have been guarding the White Tower under the orders of the spokesperson of the Sixth Generation Archaeologists Association, that is, Lear. The juniors all call me For Taling, you can call me that too."

Xu Lingshan raised her eyebrows, surprised by the old man's posture.

The gravekeeper nodded: "I know you, and you have worked hard."

Ta Ling Changsheng was immediately overwhelmed by flattery, leaned over and said: "It's not hard, even if you stay for another 1000 years, it's worth it to see you."

After a pause, he asked cautiously, "What is your appearance this time?"

"For one person." The grave guard said.

A person named Ta Ling Changsheng rolled his eyes, and a young figure came to mind, and raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the person you are talking about is called Zhang Jichuan?"

Xu Lingshan frowned, she didn't know how Ta Ling Changsheng deduced that the person was Zhang Jichuan.But what surprised her a little was that the tomb guard actually smiled:

"Yes, it's him."

He continued: "That kid already knows everything he should know. Chang Sheng, it's not convenient for me to see him, so I hope you can meet him for me and tell him what's going on deep in the earth."

The tower spirit in the depths of the earth was stunned: "Zhang Jichuan. He is already qualified to know the things in the depths of the earth?"

The gravekeeper smiled: "He is the most qualified person in the world."

Ta Ling Changsheng nodded half-understood and assured: "I understand, don't worry, I will invite him to the Ancestor Peak when the time is right."

"Thank you." The gravekeeper bowed his head and then disappeared without warning.

"Eh"

Ta Ling Changsheng stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to keep him, but it was a step too late.He looked around and made sure that the gravekeeper had really left, so he sighed regretfully.

Only then did Xu Lingshan speak: "Do you know who He is?"

"Heh." Ta Ling Changsheng smiled and said in a proud tone, "Of course, he is a very special person."

"Oh?" Xu Lingshan looked at him quietly.

Ta Ling Changsheng was a little unnaturally stared at by her: "Forget it, I couldn't tell you originally, but you are about to rise to the seventh rank, and he didn't mean to avoid you, so let me tell you.

"He is the closed disciple of the forerunner Li Qingcang. If anyone in this world knows where Li Qingcang has gone, he may be the most likely person."

"Li Qingcang's closed disciple?" Xu Lingshan was stunned. If this was the case, then the tomb guard could be called an antique-level elder of Ancestor Peak.

"Well." Ta Ling Changsheng was very satisfied with her stunned look, and continued, "Li Qingcang taught 300 students in his life, and he was the last one to get started."

"Li Qingcang has [-] students?" Xu Lingshan was stunned again. She didn't know this. The records left by Ancestor Feng only said that Li Qingcang created the three secret methods and founded the archaeologist. association.

After Li Qingcang disappeared, his disciple succeeded as the second speaker of the Association of Archaeologists.

Xu Lingshan knew that the second speaker was Li Qingcang's student, but she didn't know anything about the rest.

Taling Chang gave an 'hmm': "After Li Qingcang disappeared, his students also disappeared, and only the second speaker inherited the White Tower."

Xu Lingshan suddenly realized that there must be some kind of unknown story in it.
"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I don't know where those people went, so think about the tomb guard's instructions. Girl, before the battle between Zhang Jichuan and Hu Jing, please invite him to the Ancestor Peak."

"understood."

"night guard"

In the empty main control room, Zhang Jichuan's hoarse voice sounded: "Has your mission been completed? What are your plans for the future?"

The night watchman spoke, still with a calm mechanical voice: "The night watchman has two core tasks. One is to guard the fortress and prevent people who don't know the instructions from breaking in."

I can still answer. It seems that it is a product of technology and extraordinary power, and it should also be made by Xia Yan. Zhang Jichuan asked: "What about the second one?"

The night watchman replied: "When the Purple Star people come again, they will fight for mankind."

Zhang Jichuan was immediately awed, and felt the heart of civilization in the previous season from the night watchman.

It was clearly destroyed, but he still wanted to help the people who came after him. His nose was sore.

After sorting out his emotions, he continued to ask, "Is this fortress built in the center of the earth?"

"Yes." The night watchman replied, "This fortress is the work of the gods and demons of the two worlds. The reason why it was built in the center of the earth is to scare the Purple Star people. Once they decide to destroy the fortress, the self-destruct device in the fortress will be destroyed. The center of the earth exploded, destroying the earth, and they would no longer have the opportunity to harvest the extraordinary power of the earth."

"This..." Zhang Jichuan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized that Xia Yan, the old man surnamed Hua, and others would be reluctant to bear the powerful and extraordinary power possessed by the earth civilization in the new season when they counted the old man surnamed Hua.

Perhaps it was because of this that they thought that the Transcendent Item Project could be successful in conjunction with the Tinder Project.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Do you know where the gene bank and seed bank of the Tinder Project are located?"

Night Watchman: "I don't know."

"Then is there anything else in this fort that I need to know?"

"No, other areas are built to confuse possible intruders."

After adjusting his mood, Zhang Jichuan left the main control room and walked out of the fort under the escort of the night watchman.
