Chapter 277 Mural
Leading the way was a local soldier who couldn't help but laugh when he saw the surprise on their faces: "Aren't you surprised? It feels quite different here from outside."
Mo Qianxun nodded: "I must say, once we entered the mountains, the air became several degrees fresher."
"Haha, actually, some people have tried to turn this place into a tourist attraction before, but for some reason, it always fell through."
"That's a bit amazing. Generally speaking, if merchants find a place like this, they wouldn't give up easily."
The soldier shrugged and said, "I'm not too sure about that. Anyway, several companies have tried to get their hands on this mountain, but nothing came of it. The old folks say that there are immortals on this mountain, and that the immortals made the company bosses give up their ideas! But how could there really be immortals in this world!"
Mo Qianxun smiled mysteriously at him: "Haven't you heard the saying, 'The end of science is metaphysics'?"
The soldier paused for two seconds, then said, "You mean, there really are gods in this world? That can't be!"
Mo Qianxun raised an eyebrow: "Then do you know whose ancient tomb this mountain belongs to?"
The soldier shook his head: "I'm really not sure about that. It's strange, with so many experts already, why would they send people here? Besides, you guys don't seem to be archaeology experts!"
"Hehe! We're not, we have other identities."
The soldier's eyes lit up: "Could you give me a hint?"
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Alright!" The soldier readily agreed.
Mo Qianxun: ...Isn't this a bit too easy for you?
Soldier: If it's inconvenient to disclose, it means this is not something we should know.
Soon they arrived at the place.
The entrance to the ancient tomb was a small cave, which was accidentally discovered by the troops during a field training exercise. After the report was filed, only a nearby archaeological team was initially dispatched, but they could only stay in front of the gate and could not enter.
They thought there was a mechanism, but after searching for a week and turning over all the stones on the ground, they still couldn't find the mechanism to open the door.
They thought it was sealed off, so they used explosives to blow it up, but it was no use; the door simply couldn't be opened.
In the end, the matter had to be reported up the chain of command, eventually reaching Mr. Li's desk. Upon seeing the report, Mr. Li handed the task over to the experienced senior experts at the base.
Later, when the senior experts in the theology department heard the news by chance, they insisted on following along. Since there was still little theological information available and the senior professors had little else to research, they were encouraged to join in. However, it turned out to be useless.
Several soldiers stood guard around the cave.
"These are the people sent down from above to help us," the soldier said to one of the other soldiers.
The soldier guarding the cave entrance immediately gave up his position.
The soldier then led Mo Qianxun and the others into the cave.
As soon as she entered the cave, Mo Qianxun sensed a faint spiritual energy. She subconsciously looked at Ling Feng and the other two, and saw that their expressions were also somewhat surprised.
Mo Qianxun fell silent. Could there really be gods here? If so, it would truly overturn the world's values.
At first, there was nothing in the long passageway, but as it seeped in, murals began to appear on the surrounding walls.
"Why do these murals look so familiar?" Mo Qianxun looked at the murals and a strange thought came to her mind.
Chen Min pointed to the two figures with two heads and snake bodies on the mural and said, "Don't these two look like Fuxi and Nuwa from the mythology?"
"Look at this, this! Three heads, six arms, a red-tasseled spear, a magic ribbon, and wind-fire wheels—isn't this just Nezha, the biggest traitor in Heaven?" Lu Tao exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the Nezha portrait. "Holy crap, Erlang Shen?" Ling Feng was stunned when he saw a man with a third eye on his forehead.
"My goodness, my dream monkey is here too!" Mo Qianxun's eyes lit up when she saw the Monkey King wearing a golden crown, golden armor, and auspicious cloud shoes.
The soldier was also entering for the first time, and he was somewhat shocked by what he saw: "Could the people in this ancient tomb also be fans of Journey to the West?"
"It doesn't seem like it. It's said that this tomb is from the Song Dynasty, and obviously the book 'Journey to the West' didn't exist at that time."
"Then, could it be that a deity is sleeping in this tomb?"
"I don't know, I'll have to go and see for myself."
After walking for a few more minutes, the group finally reunited with the experts from before.
"Qianxun, you've finally arrived!" Professor Qi, the theology professor, was overjoyed to see Mo Qianxun.
"Professor Qi, what's the situation now?"
"We can't find the mechanism for this door no matter what we do. If we use explosives, we're afraid we'll put in too much and blow up the whole tomb." This won't work, that won't work, we're really worried to death.
Mo Qianxun and the other three stepped forward and looked around the gate.
This door looks like a normal stone door, with no strange carvings or anything on its surface. To put it nicely, it's simple and unadorned; to put it bluntly, it's a bit shabby.
Mo Qianxun placed her hand on the door, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Mo Qianxun brought her hand closer and saw that it was about five millimeters away from the door. It was so small that it was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
"There's a barrier around this door, no wonder even explosives couldn't break it."
When Ling Feng and the others heard this, they also checked it out and found it to be true.
The four men exchanged a glance: "Shall we give it a try?"
Without further ado, Mo Qianxun told the others to step back a bit, and the four of them loosened their wrists before putting all their strength into it.
It wasn't surprising that the old professors knew Mo Qianxun and her friends, but the soldiers responsible for protecting them were quite shocked.
Soldiers: Mom, I think I really saw a fairy.
Seeing that the barrier had weakened considerably, Mo Qianxun's eyes flashed with joy: "Just a little more effort, and we'll succeed in no time."
As Mo Qianxun finished speaking, the four of them increased their spiritual energy output together, and three seconds later, the barrier protecting the gate finally broke.
"It's done!"
Ling Feng stepped forward and pushed the door, only to stumble.
He never imagined that the seemingly heavy door would actually be so light. He was prepared to force it open, but this was all he got?
"Are you alright? You managed to fall while opening a door, you're something else!" Lu Tao asked with concern.
"I just stumbled a bit, I didn't fall, thank you." Ling Feng straightened up, calm and composed as if nothing had happened.
