Chapter 15 The Relics of Prince Gumo
The layout of the tomb chamber was somewhat messy, some of the wooden frames of torture instruments were rotten, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust.
At the very back is a circular altar that rises above the ground, with scenes of slaves being executed depicted on the walls.
All signs indicate that this place was used for sacrifices to something.
Cheng Feng slowly strolled around the altar, and soon he felt himself step on a hard object.
Gently brushing away the dust with my foot, I discovered it was an iron handle.
"This is it."
Then Cheng Feng bent down, grabbed the handle, and with a forceful lift, gently tossed the 200-pound stone slab aside.
at the same time,
Hu Bayi discovered the anomaly of this place through the celestial feng shui technique.
When he returned to camp to retrieve the compass, he attracted everyone's attention.
Professor Chen, looking excited, walked towards Hu Bayi with the help of Sadi Peng:
"Xiao Hu, have you made any discoveries?"
Hu Bayi looked up at the stars and replied:
“Indeed, judging from the stars, there must be a large tomb nearby.”
Professor Chen and the other scholars were all excited after hearing this.
Their purpose in coming here is to understand the culture of the Western Regions through archaeology.
These ancient tombs contain not only burial treasures of the ancients, but also historical culture and historical truths.
While everyone was listening to Hu Bayi explain the celestial phenomena, Cheng Feng had already arrived at the real tomb of the Prince of Gu Mo.
There was no light source at all, and even Cheng Feng could only see around the entrance.
Cheng Feng was prepared for this, and casually took out a glow stick, which was an American product that Yang Fupo had gotten, and everyone had one.
With a snap, it broke off.
A red glow suddenly appeared within it.
Cheng Feng casually tossed it into a corner of the tomb chamber; the light emitted by this thing was enough for Cheng Feng to see everything clearly.
The tomb chamber is not spacious, about 70 or 80 square meters, and it does not have the side chambers used in tombs in the Central Plains region.
There were no burial goods, but the surrounding walls were covered with exquisite murals.
It tells the story of the oppression and enslavement of vassal states during the reign of the Queen of Jingjue.
The Kingdom of Gumo was a vassal state of the Kingdom of Jingjue. The prince once requested the queen to reduce taxes, but was refused.
In the end, Prince Gu Mo decided to get rid of the queen, and he used an unknown method to infiltrate the Jingjue Kingdom.
Here, I happened to witness the scene of the Queen of Jingjue using those eyes to banish slaves to the imaginary space.
The prince was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a move and turned around and ran back to his own country.
Later, he encountered a sorcerer who appeared to be from a powerful nation in the Central Plains.
The sorcerer gave Prince Gumo a slow-acting poison and instructed him to put it into the golden lamb that was to be presented as tribute to the Queen of Jingjue.
Not long after, the queen died.
Prince Gu Mo also passed away for unknown reasons and was later buried with his queen.
Cheng Feng pondered, feeling that something was amiss.
"Mysterious sorcerer, the system requires you to eliminate the poisonous corpses."
It seems someone was playing a grand game, a scheme to destroy multiple nations single-handedly.
The sorcerer used Prince Gumo to destroy Queen Jingjue, and then the vassal states destroyed the Jingjue Kingdom.
With the leader dead, and the surrounding smaller countries gradually encroaching on the Jingjue Kingdom's heritage, another great storm wiped them all out.
It's hard to say that these things weren't part of that sorcerer's calculations.
"Forget it, let's deal with Prince Gu Mo's body first and get the cleanup reward first."
There have been too many extraordinary people in history; it's perfectly normal for a few exceptional figures to emerge in five thousand years of history.
Upon reaching the coffin of the Prince of Gumo, Cheng Feng kicked over the coffin lid.
With a loud crash, the coffin lid overturned and fell to the side, revealing the outer coffin inside.
"This was learned from the Central Plains, layer upon layer."
Cheng Feng sighed helplessly. "Why do you, a prince from a minority group, keep using other people's traditions? Wouldn't it be better to stick to your own unique burial methods?"
Finally, he had no choice but to leap lightly onto the top of the coffin and begin to pry open the inner outer coffin.
After opening the last outer coffin, Cheng Feng finally met his mission target—Prince Gu Mo.
Before he could even say hello, Cheng Feng was sprayed in the face with a cloud of thick green smoke.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What the hell is this? It tastes strangely sweet."
Cheng Feng calmly waved his hand to disperse the smoke, his face bitter. This stuff tasted awful; it was disgusting.
'Giggle...giggle...giggle'
A sound of bones grinding together rang out, and green fur rapidly grew from Prince Gu Mo's corpse, and his body began to move.
With a clang, Cheng Feng drew his sword and then slashed the blade across his left palm.
The blood, carrying a strange fragrance, was smeared on Zhanlu's sword blade.
His bloodline of the Yan Emperor is capable of warding off evil and destroying malevolent forces, making him a natural counter to this kind of zombie-turned-zongzi.
Cheng Feng did a somersault and jumped from the coffin to the ground. Just then, the corpse of Motuo sat up.
A sword light slashed through the void, passing across the neck of the corpse in Motuo as easily as a hot knife through butter.
Thud... Bang!
Prince Gu Mo, who had just gotten up and hadn't even had a chance to stretch, fell back asleep, head and all.
'Ding~'
Congratulations, host, for completing the cleanup mission. Would you like to claim your reward?
"receive!"
Soon, Cheng Feng 'remembered' his legendary skill that he had practiced diligently for decades—Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper.
Even the muscles in his body showed subtle changes, and that sense of familiarity was etched into his very bones.
"It's like having another way to instantly kill humanoid and non-human creatures with bare hands."
This is a technique that can break the spine of a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling). If it can deal with zongzi, it can deal with people, and it's even simpler.
"Since we're already here, let's take a look at what kind of burial goods this prince has. It'll broaden our horizons."
Thinking this, Cheng Feng jumped onto the coffin again and looked inside.
The coffin was lined with a layer of animal hair, which had turned black and its original color was no longer visible.
The body of Gu Mo lay on top, and next to it was a pile of bones, which must have belonged to his queen.
There was a jade pillow on each side of the corpse's head, which looked extremely exquisite and were rare treasures.
There were also many gold and silver artifacts around, all exquisitely crafted, which should have been personal belongings of the two people during their lifetimes.
In addition, there was a dagger made using the cloisonné enamel technique, which was quite ornate.
"It seems like the prince is holding something down."
Cheng Feng saw a corner of a leather object sticking out, and then jumped into the coffin.
As he landed, a muffled thud was heard. Cheng Feng's expression shifted, sensing that something was wrong with the sound.
"It seems like there's nothing underneath?"
Cheng Feng squatted down and took out the thing under Prince Gu Mo. It was a sheepskin map with a route drawn on it.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Cheng Feng's face lit up with joy.
"It's actually a secret passage leading directly to the ancient Jingjue Kingdom, connected by an underground river. This Prince Gumo is quite something."
The mural mentions that Prince Gumo infiltrated the Kingdom of Jingjue through a secret passage in an attempt to assassinate the queen.
Perhaps to commemorate his achievements, Prince Gumo marked the secret passage with sheepskin.
Moreover, it was extremely detailed, as if afraid that others would not be able to find the secret passage and think that Prince Gumo was bragging.
