Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Four hours later.

It was already dark.

Jiang Hua and his friends walked out of the last ancient tomb.

The mechanisms of the seven ancient tombs have all been opened. According to previous thinking, the tomb of the gods should be about to appear.

But now it was pitch dark, and they had no other senses, so naturally they couldn't find the so-called tomb of the gods.

"Hey, old man, didn't you say that if we opened seven ancient tombs, we could find the Tomb of the Gods?"

"Where is the God's Tomb?"

"Why didn't Fatty see it?"

Wang Kaixuan looked at Marrison and said very unhappily.

Marrison was furious. He said, "I didn't say that. It's written on the stele. What does it have to do with me?"

If Wang Kaixuan wasn't on Jiang Hua's side, he would have taken action against Wang Kaixuan right now.

When had Marison ever been treated like this?

Wang Kaixuan wanted to continue talking, but Jiang Hua said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that. It's already dark now. Even if the God's Tomb appears, we may not be able to find it."

"Moreover, I estimate that after the seven mechanisms are opened, the tomb of the gods will not appear directly. The most we can do is change the feng shui of this place, and then we can find the tomb of the gods through feng shui."

"If the God's Tomb will appear directly after opening the seven ancient tombs, this matter is too simple."

After listening to Jiang Hua's words, everyone calmed down. Just as Jiang Hua said, even if the mechanisms of the seven ancient tombs had been opened, at most it would only change the feng shui here, not directly let the tomb of the gods come out.

Therefore, if you want to find the tomb of the gods, you have to wake up tomorrow to see if there are any changes in the feng shui here and where the tomb of the gods appears.

Or, you can use the Tianxing Feng Shui technique at night to see if you can find the location of the god's tomb.

Everyone found a place, set up camp, sprinkled insect repellent powder, and began to rest.

However, at night, they found that the sky was full of dark clouds without even a star. Naturally, it was impossible to use the star feng shui technique to find the location of the god's tomb.

It will only work until tomorrow daytime.

"Master Jiang, there are no stars in the sky. Why do I have such a bad feeling?"

Hu Bayi took out a piece of dry food and handed it to Jiang Hua, frowning and asking.

Jiang Hua said: "It's just that there are more clouds. It's no big deal. Any difficulties can be solved easily."

Wang Kaixuan also said, "Yes, Lao Hu, with Master Jiang and the others here, why are you worrying so much? We just need to find the tomb of the gods and follow Master Jiang's instructions in everything."

Seeing Jiang Hua's confident look, Hu Bayi didn't say anything more. He still believed in Jiang Hua unconditionally.

In fact, Jiang Hua is completely confident.

There are few places in this world today that can scare him.

So everyone began to rest.

This night was much quieter than the previous nights, even the sound of insects was gone.

Jiang Hua frowned, feeling that this was a little unusual.

"It seems that all life nearby has disappeared."

At this time, Hou Tu came to Jiang Hua and said with some confusion.

Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and others had fallen asleep, only Shentu Fengshen Yinde and Morrison were still awake.

For them now, it doesn’t matter whether they sleep or not, they just need to close their eyes and rest.

Now when they heard what Hou Tu said, they couldn't help but open their eyes.

Obviously, as immortal and eternal beings, they are also very sensitive to these things and have long noticed that something is wrong, but they just haven't said anything.
And now that Hou Tu has spoken out, they have begun to pay attention.

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yeah, it's a bit weird."

Shen Tu said: "I have observed that those lives disappeared after we came out of the twin tombs. It should be related to the last tomb."

Jiang Hua said, "It should be related to the God's Tomb. The appearance of the God's Tomb must have affected the situation here. It may be that those lives disappeared, or there may be some kind of existence in the God's Tomb that makes the strange insects in this place dare not appear again."

After Jiang Hua said this, everyone felt that it made sense.

When they came out of the Twin Tomb, they encountered many strange and poisonous insects on the road, which were no different from usual.

However, after they found the last ancient tomb, they had not seen any poisonous insects since they came out of the tomb, and they had not even seen some ordinary insects on the road.

It's as if it had disappeared.

I didn't think it was a big deal before. Everyone was thinking about the God's Tomb, so I didn't pay much attention to the situation around me. Now, after calming down and thinking carefully, I found a clue.

Hou Tu said: "No matter what the reason is, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

Jiang Hua nodded.

He wasn't so naive as to think that this would be a good thing.

On the surface, those strange insects have disappeared, which may be a good thing. After all, without the interference of insects, walking in this forest will definitely be much easier.

But on second thought, the power that can make all these bugs disappear must be extremely powerful!
It seems that although this divine tomb has appeared, the danger inside is far beyond Jiang Hua's own imagination.

It is estimated that it is much more powerful than the ancient tombs that Jiang Hua encountered before, but I don’t know how it compares to the tomb of the earthly immortals. Of course, no matter what, Jiang Hua will naturally not be afraid.

Even the Earthly Immortals' Tomb couldn't do anything to him, so how powerful could this God's Tomb be?

So Jiang Hua said: "Although this trip is dangerous, we should be cautious, but there is no need to be so nervous."

"We will enter the God's Tomb sooner or later. No matter what dangers there are, they are not too dangerous for us."

"Everyone, have a good rest. We will go to the tomb tomorrow."

Hou Tu and others also nodded, closed their eyes and began to rest.

Everyone also had a premonition that if the God's Tomb could be found tomorrow, things would not be so simple.

Time passed slowly, and soon dawn broke. Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and others woke up one after another.

"Nothing happened last night?"

Wang Kaixuan said with some surprise.

After all, they were attacked by strange insects at night before, but nothing happened last night, which was indeed a bit strange.

Hu Bayi said: "Maybe it has been dealt with by Master Jiang and the others, but we just don't know it."

Chen Wenjin said curiously, "There are no signs of fighting around us. Obviously, there really is no accident. I noticed before that we didn't encounter those strange insects after we came out of the last ancient tomb."

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were both stunned.

After hearing what Chen Wenjin said, they actually thought of this.

Several people looked at Jiang Hua, who also opened his eyes at this time. He said, "Hurry up and have some breakfast. We will go to find the God's Tomb later. I just felt that the Feng Shui here has indeed changed a lot. I think the God's Tomb should appear soon."

After hearing what Jiang Hua said, they didn't waste any more words, quickly ate something, and then followed Jiang Hua to leave the resting place.

Soon, they came to a place with higher terrain, and during this time, Hu Bayi also noticed something unusual. It was indeed as Chen Wenjin said, they did not encounter any strange insects along the way, and even some ordinary insects were not seen!
He had more doubts in his mind.

"found it."

However, at this moment, Jiang Hua suddenly said something.

Everyone was attracted by Jiang Hua.

We found the God’s Tomb so quickly?
Jiang Hua was seen looking at a towering mountain in the distance.

"I remember there didn't seem to be this mountain before!"

Wang Kaixuan stared at the mountain for a while and said puzzledly.

Hu Bayi also nodded. He took out the compass and took a look. After a moment, he took a breath of cold air: "The Dragon Vein! No wonder we have to open seven ancient tombs to find the God's Tomb!"

"It turns out that this place is the extremely rare Dragon Vein!"

Wang Kaixuan asked: "Old Hu, what is the Dragon Vein?"

Hu Bayi said, "It's very simple, just what it means literally. The Feng Shui is hidden, and the real dragon vein is blocked. Generally speaking, it is difficult to find. Only when all the mechanisms in the previous seven ancient tombs are opened like today, the dragon vein will appear, and we can find it."

Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "That means that if we find the Dragon Vein, it means we have found the God's Tomb?"

Hu Bayi shook his head bitterly, then smiled again: "If it was just me, then it might not be the case. It would be quite difficult to find the God's Tomb. But now that Master Jiang is here, I think it should be easy to find the God's Tomb."

Everyone looked at Jiang Hua.

But they remembered that Jiang Hua had just said that he had found the tomb of the gods.

Therefore, they all placed their hopes on Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I have indeed found the tomb of the gods. Look at that towering mountain, which echoes with the peaks next to it."

"A big river meanders through several peaks, connecting them together."

"The dragon vein has undoubtedly appeared. The lake in it is the most important and core part of the dragon vein!"

"There are many ancient tombs in the Zhalong Vein. These ancient tombs are all the tombs of people of noble status. To use our ancient saying, these people are all capable of becoming immortals."

"In other words, these people are almost all legendary figures, characters in myths and legends."

"For example, the Yellow Emperor and Shennong of China."

"Now it seems that the people buried in this place may not be the so-called gods, but they are definitely people with high status in the Khmer Empire. Each of them is called the Saint Chengzu, and they are all legendary figures."

"Therefore, this place is also called the Kingdom of God!" After hearing Jiang Hua's words, everyone suddenly realized.

So that’s it!
There are no real gods in this world. It is obvious that the gods they are talking about, the gods the Khmer king is talking about, are just those legendary characters.

For example, China's Huangdi, Shennong, Gonggong and even Hou Tu, who are called the Mother of the Earth, are also gods.

That is to say, the people buried in this kingdom of God are all like Hou Tu.
Jiang Hua looked at Hou Tu, who raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you looking at me? I don't know anyone here."

Jiang Hua smiled, then looked at the Khmer king and said calmly: "In any mythological system, there is a main god. Zeus in the West, Amaterasu in the East, and Pangu, the supreme creator god of China, are all such existences."

"And there must be a main god in your Khmer country."

"If I'm right, you Khmer kings are just the guardians of the gods."

"What we need to protect is the ancient tomb of the Lord God beside the big lake, right?"

The Khmer King's face changed slightly when he heard Jiang Hua's words. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Hua to know so much. (End of this chapter)
