Chapter 275 The Test of the Concubine Zhen (Two in One)

Mu Ji suddenly stood up and punched out!
Under the poison domain, although he has no cultivation base, this punch is not heavy with only physical strength.

Just hearing the sound of "Peng", a big spider that flew down was blown away by a punch, and fell to the ground with a strange cry.

"It almost bit you." Mu Ji smiled at Luo Ning, "There are a lot of poisonous spiders in this ancient tomb. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the fifteen months I've been here."

After finishing speaking, the old god sat down, took out a dirty and gorgeous handkerchief, and wiped the back of his hands.

"Oh, it's dirty again."

Even in this place, his performance is in line with the noble demeanor.

That's right, Mou Ji is the successor of the contemporary county uncle of Moucheng.

The Mou family is one of the top ten noble families in Yizhou, and they are hereditary county uncles in Moucheng, but they are not heroes of the founding of the country, and their surname was not Mou.

It is said that the ancestor made great contributions to Moucheng County and was appreciated by the emperor. He was given the surname Mou, and the surname was named after the county.

Luo Ning's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't say any words of thanks.He glanced at the giant spider struggling to crawl away, and said calmly:
"It's not dead yet, why don't you kill it?"

Mu Ji carefully folded the dirty ornate handkerchief, and said with a bright smile, "No need."

"The cultivation base here is imprisoned by the poison domain. I have not starved to death for fifteen months, thanks to these giant poisonous spiders."

After speaking, he cherished the handkerchief and put it in his arms, and patted it, looking very concerned.

Luo Ning felt a chill in his heart, and Danfeng narrowed his eyes, "Senior, do you mean to rely on these giant poisonous spiders to satisfy your hunger? You have been eating them for fifteen months?"

"Haha!" Mou Ji laughed, "Ning'er, you really know how to joke, how can I eat these poisonous giant spiders? Are you courting death?"

This handsome and gentle man stroked the neatly trimmed beard on the corner of his mouth, and smiled brightly.

If you ignore his beautiful and lovely beard, then at this moment he is smiling like a sincere and sunny boy.

Luo Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Then... what do seniors eat? What else can I eat here?"

"Yes." Mou Ji replied very crisply, "Not only can I swallow it, but it also tastes delicious. Do you think I look good? It's because I have these foods."

"Although giant poisonous spiders are annoying, as long as they catch their prey, we can snatch them."

"They are the eagle dogs we hunt, and they cannot be killed."

Luo Ning understood.It turned out that Mu Ji used giant poisonous spiders to hunt.After the poisonous spider catches the prey, Mu Ji grabs the prey like the hyena's second brother.

Therefore, he didn't want the giant poisonous spider's life.

"What kind of prey?" Luo Ning was very concerned.

Because, if he is trapped here, he also needs food, and he cannot starve to death.

"Mice." Mu Ji said.

What? !mouse?

Luo Ning looked at Mu Ji in astonishment, showing a fussy expression, "Rats...can you eat them?"

"It's so fucking delicious!" Mu Ji showed a bright and sincere smile again, "I just want it!"

Luo Ning felt a chill.

Damn it, this Muji actually ate fifteen-month-old rats here?

But if you think about it in your own shoes, if you have no food, you probably want to eat rat meat. You can't starve to death.

"Ning'er, you don't understand." Mou Ji rubbed his beautiful mustache, "Rat meat is salty without salt, sweet without sugar, it is definitely a rare delicacy."

"Oh, I haven't eaten rat meat for a few days."

Having said that, his eyes became brighter, as if he was savoring the beauty of rat meat.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, "By the way, how did you get in? Although it is not a good thing to enter this place, very few people can come here alive."

Luo Ning's eyes flashed, "What about senior?"

How could he tell Mu Ji the secret of his ability to come in?
Mu Ji shook his head, "Ning'er, you don't need to be wary of me. After all, I'm also your stepfather."

"Forget it, I'll tell you. The reason why I can come in is because... I am a descendant of the Zhen clan!"

"The poison bird that the first ancestor of the Tang family saved was my ancestor!"

"Back then, my ancestor was the tomb keeper at that time, just like the current poisonous king."

"Although after 2000 years, the blood of the Zhen clan has been very thin, and I have long belonged to the human race, but I am also a descendant of the Zhen clan after all."

"In conclusion, the concubine Zhen 2 years ago is also somewhat related to me by blood."

"So, when I entered Poison Cloud Mountain, I didn't die under the Great Formation of Poison Realm... I came this time not to find opportunities, but purely to visit the footprints of my ancestors back then, and pay tribute to them."

Luo Ning did not expect that the Mou clan was related to the Zhen clan.

"Senior, I've heard that a poisonous bird cannot transform itself, no matter how high its cultivation level is, it still has the body of a bird. Since it cannot transform itself, why is it still intermarried with a human race?"

Mou Ji shook his head, "That's the misunderstanding of the world. It's hard for the poisonous bird to transform, that's because the poisonous way of the poisonous clan is too domineering, which affects cause and effect. If there is not enough yin, virtue and good fruit, it will not transform."

"Once the yin, virtue and good fruit are enough, there will be an opportunity to transform..."

"Those who have been predestined to change form since ancient times are all sages with great merit."

"For example, the concubine Zhen, it was because of her virtuous and benevolent achievements that she transformed into a beauty and became a virtuous concubine of the ancient Shu generation."

"My ancestor, also because of his meritorious service in saving the people of Moucheng County and resisting the plague god, was given the surname of Mou County by the emperor at that time, and was made the county uncle of Moucheng."

"This matter is little known, even the descendants of the Mou family, most of them don't know that the first ancestor of the Mou family is a shape-changing poisonous bird."

"After the first ancestor took shape, he didn't want the world to know that he was from the Poison Clan, so he sealed the supernatural powers of the poisonous way. The descendants also stopped practicing the way of poisonous things, and on the contrary, they fulfilled the reputation of the Tang family's Poison Sect in the world."

"Speaking of which, the Tang Family's Nine Poisons Manual was given by the ancestor."

Although his ancestor was a poisonous bird, the Mou family had intermarried with the human race for generations, and the human race's blood was more than [-]%, so he belonged to the human race long ago.

"I see." Luo Ning nodded, "I never thought that the ancestors of your family would have such merit."

Mu Ji laughed, "That's why I was not poisoned when I entered this place."

"The poisonous lord Zhenniao told me that a peacock demon came here decades ago. Of course, it is also because he has a relationship with the imperial concubine Zhen. Do you know what the concubine Zhen is called? Concubine Kong!"

"But what about you? Why did you come here? It can't be... You and Concubine Zhen also have a relationship?"

Obviously, he was very concerned about how Luo Ning got in alive.

When Luo Ning heard that a peacock demon had come decades ago, his heart suddenly became clear.

It must be Confucius!

The question that has been in suspense for a long time finally found the answer today.

It turns out that the mysterious site that Confucius visited is this ancient tomb of Concubine Zhen!

Then, of course, Confucius’ silkworm face mask and key album all came from here!

Judging from the fact that Confucius spent decades refining more than 3000 keys, he has not yet opened the most important and core area of ​​the ancient tomb.

To open it, you need [-] keys!

After Confucius left, he returned to Qianqiu Mountain and devoted his energy to making keys.

However, his key was almost finished refining, but he was killed by himself.

Today, those more than 3000 keys are in his ring.

The question is, how did Confucius get out of here decades ago?Could it be that he passed the test of the concubine Zhen?

Also, is the place Confucius wants to open with the key the coffin of the tomb owner deep in the underground palace?

Seeing that Luo Ning didn't answer his question, Mu Ji looked pensive instead, as if he was thinking about something, so he didn't ask any more.

Luo Ning thought for a while, then withdrew his thoughts and said:

"I was thinking about this just now. Now that I think about it, it should be... I am also a descendant of Concubine Zhen!"

What?Are you also a descendant of Concubine Zhen?
Mu Ji's usual calm expression couldn't hold back anymore, "How is it possible?"

However, he has no cultivation now, so he can't sense Luo Ning's blood at all.

In fact, even if the cultivation base is still there, it is difficult for him to sense such a long-term blood.

Luo Ning looked at the vast hall with a hint of memory in his eyes.

"When I was young, my father once told me that the Luo family came from Luoyang, the eastern capital."

Mu Ji nodded, "I know this, but your father..."

He wanted to say that Luo An was not a good thing, but when he got to his lips, he didn't say it.

Luo Ning continued: "He said that there was a rumor in the Luo family that the prince of the ancient Shu Kingdom went to Luoyang in distress and married Princess Luoshui of the Zhou Dynasty, and his descendants took Luo as their surname."

"As for the troubled ancient Shu prince, it is said that he was born of a peacock. Then, is his biological mother the concubine Zhen?"

"According to this legend, the Luo family, like the Mou family, is also a descendant of Concubine Zhen?"

"When senior asked today, I realized that the legend is true."

The Mou family's expression froze, and they didn't question it right away.

He also heard that there was an ancient Shu prince who fled to Luoyang in the Zhou Dynasty because of civil strife and never came back.

Could it be that he is the ancestor of the Luo family, another son of Concubine Zhen?
If not, how could Luo Ning enter the underground palace alive?

Even if Luo Ning had learned the Tang family's "Nine Poisons Manual", it would be impossible to do it.

They are both descendants of Concubine Zhen, but it is the most reasonable.

How could Mouji have imagined it? Luo Ning could do it because he had Ling Daozhu's translating powers, he had learned Zhenwen, and he could recite the "Nine Poisons Manual".

It has nothing to do with any bloodline.

Even the poisonous emperor Zhenniao outside mistakenly thought that Luo Ning and Concubine Zhen had something to do with each other.

"It should be." Mu Ji nodded, "There is no second possibility. Unexpectedly, we all come from Concubine Zhen."

The smarter the person, the more he believed Luo Ning's explanation.

Because this is the most reasonable and acceptable reason.

Luo Ning pointed to the depths of the hall, "Is the coffin of Concubine Zhen inside?"

Mu Ji nodded, "Did you see the high platform in the depths? On the high platform is the Zigong. That is the real tomb. However, there is a stone door blocking it, and thousands of keys are needed to open the stone door."

Luo Ning's heart moved, and he knew it even more.

He looked into the depths of the hall, and suddenly saw a huge platform with golden characters, like a hill, which looked extremely shocking.

But I heard Mu Ji continue to say: "Someone came here earlier and took some things away. I guess, among the things taken away, there may be clues to the key to open the stone gate."

"Could it be that the person who took the things was the peacock from decades ago?"

"But, since he found the clue to open the stone gate, why didn't he open it? Or did he die later and have no chance to open it?"

Hearing this, Luo Ning couldn't help feeling horrified.

Mu Ji is so smart.He actually guessed the general idea of ​​the matter.

Are the shrewd people today really so loyal and honest?Will Tang Wan be steadfast and never change his original intention?
Luo Ning was extremely curious about the Gaotai Tomb Palace, but on the surface he showed no interest.

"Senior has been stuck here for fifteen months, so why hasn't he found a way to leave? What is the test of the imperial concubine Zhen?"

Mu Ji sighed, and stopped stroking his mustache, "I can't find a way to leave."

"As for the test of Concubine Zhen, maybe...open her tomb!"

"Only by opening her tomb can I find a way out and be teleported out."

"I can almost conclude that this is the test she left behind. She needs a junior to open her tomb after many years!"

"This must be a major arrangement for her during her lifetime. Such painstaking planning and violation of ethics must be no small matter."

Luo Ning wanted to agree with Mu Ji's conjecture, but once he agreed, a new problem appeared.

Confucius failed to open the Gaotai Tomb Palace, and obviously failed the test.So, why was Confucius able to be teleported away?

Just as Luo Ning was about to ask about this, Mu Ji gave a speculative explanation:

"As for how the person surnamed Kong can be teleported away, that's because... every trial is different!"

He pointed to the depths of the hall, "If you take a good look, you will see the clues."

Luo Ning stood up, walked over to have a look, and found that the place had obviously been moved by someone, and there were some broken jade bricks, lampstands, and stone statues.

Here is also a high platform, leading to a higher tomb palace, but it has been destroyed and turned into a pile of ruins.

On the ground, there are also ancient array patterns.

Luo Ning understood.

He walked up to Mu Ji and said:

"The test is at least two levels. The first level is the clue to find the key, and Peacock has already completed it. He completed the first level, and was teleported away by the teleportation method of the first level."

"Then, when he comes in next time, he will enter the second test. This second test is to open the high platform tomb palace."

"Unfortunately, the peacock may have died, or it may take a lot of time to prepare, so he never came back to pass the second test."

Mu Ji nodded, "Ning'er is really smart, she deduced it so quickly. The peacock opened the first gate and was able to leave. Now we have to unlock the second gate before we can leave."

"But the problem is that the peacock deliberately destroyed the clues of the first level, and also took away the important things of the first level, which made it impossible for me to open the second level."

The first level and the second level must be interlocking and progressive.The one who opened the first level is the peacock. It is of course very difficult for Mu Ji to open the second level directly.

What he didn't know was that the peacock who opened the first level died in the hands of Luo Ning.

What's more, Luo Ning also got the clues and things of the first level.

However, although Luo Ning had clues and keys, the keys were still a hundred short, and he had no cultivation at this time, so he couldn't take out the keys and album in the ring.

Even if there is a way to temporarily take out the [-] keys in the ring, how to refine the remaining [-] keys that have not been refined?
If you don't have a cultivation base, you are not a formation master or a weapon master, you can't refine it.

Mu Ji continued: "There are at least two tests. If both of us have to leave, there may be a third test waiting."

"What is the purpose of the concubine Zhen's arrangement? What secrets are hidden in the tomb?"

Hearing this, Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh, "Senior has been here for fifteen months, and there is no way to open the second level, let alone think about it."

"Are we still stuck here, eating rats all the time?"

Mu Ji suddenly touched his stomach, and said with a strange expression:

"When you mention it, I'm really hungry."

"Well, strange to say, there have been no mice here for several days."

"Could it be that all the mice have been eaten?"

"The giant poisonous spiders couldn't catch the mice, and they began to devour each other."

Having said that, Mu Ji took out the dirty and gorgeous handkerchief again, and wiped his lips gracefully.

PS: What's next?Everyone keep guessing, crab crab, good night!Want to eat grilled fish, but dare not, tears run.
