Chapter 30: The Mysterious Person Appears
It was as if I had a dream, I fell into a large ice cellar, so cold, cold to the point of trembling. I wanted to shout desperately, but my mouth was full of water and I couldn't say a word.
I suddenly woke up and found myself still lying in that place. After sitting up, my head hurt a bit, and after rubbing it with my hand, I discovered that there was a pile of fire beside me that had been burning fiercely at some point.
Who ordered it? Was it Pengpeng? But where did he find the combustible materials from? Can't think about it anymore, the more I think, the more my head hurts. Might as well wait for him to appear and ask him then.
"You're awake!" A voice rang out, I was certain it was a familiar voice, but it wasn't Peng's.
I saw a person crouching by the fire, wearing a large long gown, similar to what people in foreign monasteries wear. I walked closer to get a good look at his appearance, but found that he was wearing a very strange mask.
"Do you want to know what I look like?" He heard a few cold laughs.
"Who are you? The one who brought us all the way here?" I asked him.
"It is and it isn't."
"What does it mean?"
"You'll understand later. I'm telling you now, your friend and younger brother-in-law have already gone to the next level. If you don't want anything to happen, hurry up and go save them."
"Are they in danger? Pong and Coffin are together? Are they?"
"Did you just think of it?"
I finally understand who knocked me out. After all, Pong and I are relatives, so naturally I had fewer defenses against him, and we would discuss everything together, which is why it's understandable that he was the best move for the coffin next to me. But I'm just an ordinary person, why did they go to such great lengths? Is it simply because I am the reincarnation of the tomb owner? As soon as I walked in, I was just a key to help them open the tomb door. It's like leading a thief into your home, and then you can't control what they take anymore.
"It's best to think this way! However, some things aren't necessarily true just because you see them with your own eyes; you also need to use your intuition to judge."
I'm even more curious now, how did he know what I was thinking? What does his next sentence mean?
"Who are you?" I asked again, the question I most wanted an answer to.
"This one, can't tell you now, because everything hasn't been settled yet, continue your adventure."
"Aren't you going with me? Since you've appeared, why don't you accompany me from now on?"
"When everything is settled, you will understand; be careful with all things."
As he spoke, he casually flicked his wrist and a black object flew towards me. I caught it and found that it was my short knife. How did it end up with him?
"Can't you tell me what strange things happened here? Why was it birds singing and flowers blooming when I came in, but as soon as I woke up, it became such an empty place?"
That person didn't say a word, just lowered his head and sank into thought, as if considering whether or not to tell me.
"Let me tell you about the origin of this cemetery first. You should have noticed that as we come down layer by layer, what's your first impression? Doesn't it look like a tower?"
That's right, in ancient times, there was such a progressive building, which is the pagoda.
"This tower is called the Linglong Tower, originally named Xiaoye, and was probably built during the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps due to changes in the earth's crust, the entire tower sank into the ground, but fortunately, the tower body did not suffer any damage, thus forming a natural tomb. The one buried here is said to be the reincarnated child, about whom there are many legends, only it is unknown how he entered this tower and how he died. You see, cultivators do not die, and he had long since become an immortal who had escaped the suffering of reincarnation."
I'm a bit dazed, it's like listening to a fairy tale.
"What about those bronze statues and the corpses all over the ground, and the three large gates, and the empty holes?"
