Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

.............

"What... what exactly is going on?"

Wu Tianjiao had originally intended to take out General Chuqiu's phosphorescent tube to save the day, but now it seemed unnecessary.

But this just feels so out of place...

A monk dressed in a yellow robe is reciting scriptures using an electronic device...

Could it be that... this really confirms a saying from Earth?

When a monk is skilled in technology, nothing can stop him!

...........

The human-faced snakes, which were originally extremely ferocious, should not have been able to hear the monk Yuanxin's chanting of scriptures since they do not have external ears. However, for some reason, at the very moment the six-syllable mantra was uttered, they were able to hear the monk Yuanxin's chanting of scriptures.

The swarm of human-faced snakes stopped their forward charge, paused briefly, and then unexpectedly retreated in unison.

........

"My goodness, Master Yuanxin, how did you do that!"

Wang Yueban returned at some point, his mouth agape in shock.

"What's going on? I, Fatty, a righteous tomb raider, haven't even used my tomb raiding talisman to intimidate the snakes and establish my noble image, and this monk has already taken everything away?"

Fatty Wang was inwardly grumbling!

The scene before him was truly beyond his expectations. Originally, Fatty Wang planned to wait until everyone was in dire straits before turning into a hero to save the day, but it seems that his plan has fallen through.

Master Yuanxin handed the memory card containing information about Jin Chanzi's tomb to Wu Tianjiao, then walked back to the crowd behind him with a kind smile. 807

"Everyone! This humble monk has only done his best. Now that the crisis has passed, please leave quickly. This scripture is only most effective the first time. If the human-faced snake comes again, I'm afraid we will have no chance of escape!"

After speaking, Master Yuanxin put his hands together, bowed, and walked to A Ning's side in the crowd.

Just then, Lowell, a blond man at the very front of the group, stepped forward, his pupils gleaming with an unusual light:

“Master Yuanxin, I didn’t realize you had such profound knowledge of Buddhism. I’ve been studying the history of the Great Xia Federation, but I only have a superficial understanding of your Buddhist scriptures. Could you please explain them to me a little so that we can come up with a solution when we encounter a crisis in the future?”

Upon hearing Lowell's question, the young men and women from the academy behind him all looked at Monk Yuanxin, hoping he could explain.

Master Yuanxin waved his hand, signaling everyone to move forward first. He then began to walk deeper into the tomb passage, and slowly began to speak:

The first type is the long mantra, the longest of which is the Shurangama Mantra; the second type is the "short mantra"; the third type is the "mantra heart"; the fourth type is the "seed mantra"... The tomb passage of the Qin Empire became narrower and narrower, and it looked like only one person could pass through at a time.

However, the surface paved with bluestone bricks made it very convenient for the human-faced snake to pursue.

Their triangular mouths flickered their crimson tongues, and their bodies writhed and moved rapidly across the ground.

It is just as fast as an adult running.

"Wu Tianjiao! Let go!"

Chapter 208: The Evil Spirits in the Tomb Passage Are Too Heavy

“Master Yuanxin is clearly having some kind of mental breakdown. Look at him sitting cross-legged; that’s the kind of behavior you’d expect to die in public. Could it be that he’s suffered some kind of shock, is under too much mental pressure, feels that there’s nothing left to hold him in this world, and wants to go to the Western Paradise?”

Fatty Wang tried to break free from Wu Tianjiao's grasp with his elbows. To be honest, he was very conflicted. His group was supposed to protect Luo Weier and the other students from the academy as they entered the tomb.

Now that a male student has lost his life due to an accident, he already feels a little guilty. But if he, Wang Pangzi, were to see the helper he invited willingly die to save everyone again, frankly speaking, as a tomb raider, Wang Yueban, he absolutely cannot stand idly by!

Wu Tianjiao paid no attention to the inner struggle of Fatty Wang beside him. When he lent the system's storage card related to Jin Chanzi's tomb to Master Yuanxin, he had a vague realization.

Perhaps this Master Yuanxin must have some solution. After all, he is a highly skilled person hired by Jude Kao Company, and must have extraordinary abilities.

"Alright, Fatty! Hurry up and catch up with the people ahead. Don't let them get too far away. This is where a general from the Qin Dynasty is buried. If they wander off, they might run into some danger!"

Wu Tianjiao shoved Wang Yueban, telling him to stop spacing out. At times like this, everyone should work together and not neglect one task for another!

"Brother Tian..."

Wang Yueban knew that Wu Tianjiao was right. The more critical the moment, the more calm one should be and the less likely one is to panic. Without saying any more words, he turned around and sped up to catch up with the crowd behind him.

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao focused his gaze on the group of human-faced snakes dozens of meters away. Although he could directly feel their terrifying, overwhelming momentum, his mind was already on the items in the Ultimate Treasure System.

Wu Tianjiao made up his mind: if Master Yuanxin really was a "Silver Wax Spear"...

I had previously obtained the Phosphorescent Tube of the Tomb Raider General, and then I could use about 1000 gold coins to buy Soft Corpse Incense in the system shop, fill the phosphorescent tube, and use it on the Human-Faced Snake.

Although the product description only states that the Soft Corpse Incense can soften a stiff corpse in a very short time after it is lit.

Literally speaking, this special aroma might have a certain anesthetic effect, causing the muscles and bones in an animal to lose their original resilience and become uncontrollable for a short period of time.

Inside the tomb passage, Master Yuanxin sat cross-legged, his hands clasped together, and he first silently recited the six-syllable mantra.

Then the twisting speed increased, and about three seconds later, Monk Yuanxin suddenly opened his eyes, took out a speaker player from the painting, and casually inserted the memory card that Wu Tianjiao had lent him.

The next moment, a powerful and vast chanting of scriptures resounded.

Master Yuanxin twirled his prayer beads, his hand movements slowing down from rapid to deliberate, while the syllables of his chanting became exceptionally loud and consistent with the rhythm of the audio.

The body's movements changed slightly!

The hands form a mudra.

Sit with your right leg placed on top of your left leg.

A fair complexion gradually softens as one adjusts their breathing to achieve mental and physical tranquility.

"The tomb passage is filled with evil spirits and malevolent energy. This humble monk does not forget to kill, but only to teach and guide..."

“Om” represents the heavenly realm, “Ma” represents the Asura realm, “Ni” represents the human realm, “Pa” represents the animal realm, “Mi” represents the demon realm, and “Hum” represents the hell realm.

........

Om Mani Padme Hum

........

Master Yuanxin moved his lips slightly, and the sound of chanting filled the air. His expression was solemn, but then suddenly became kind. He chanted and recited in sync with the loudspeaker in front of him!

Chapter 209: Dozens of Sharp Spears with Barbed Lines

As the procession moved forward through the tomb passage, everyone lined up in a row. Wu Tianjiao focused his attention on the system notification in his mind.

[Ding! Special mission completed!]

[Protect Wu Xie 1/1]

[Mission complete, reward: 1 Darkening Eye Talisman]

Looking at the mission rewards in his mind, Wu Tianjiao subconsciously asked:

"System, I feel like the tombs of the Qin Empire are really strange! The jade face statues from before inexplicably developed blood-red seal characters, and the corpses on the ground are still alive even after death. What's going on?"

[Host, this is an exploration mission. Please discover its secrets for yourself!]

Hearing the system's voice fall silent in his mind, Wu Tianjiao shook his head helplessly. Although he knew that asking the system so openly might not yield a solution, he still wanted to give it a try.
