"However, unlike ordinary divine masks, the core of Nuo god opera masks originates from this mask."
"Different Nuo deity masks can invoke different deities; some pray for good weather, some for healing, and some for exorcising evil spirits..."
"The black-faced frog god mask we have is probably used to pray for good weather and abundant harvests."
"I see." Huang Yu took the Frog God Mask. No wonder he could feel the strong power of faith on it.
Can it really regulate the climate on a large scale?
"That method is just too powerful."
The ability to drastically alter celestial phenomena has always been the privilege of immortals, gods, or other highly accomplished individuals.
And now, can one possess similar power with just a mask?
Zuo Ruotong smiled and said, "To say that you can really change natural disasters is impossible... but it is real that you can alleviate natural disasters and regulate wind and rain."
"It also depends on the specific users; the larger the user base, the wider the scope of influence."
At this point, Zuo Ruotong glanced at Huang Yu. This kid's abilities were truly exceptional; she wondered how he had cultivated them.
Huang Yu's heart skipped a beat. In terms of sheer size, almost no one could match his...
This method seems to have been tailor-made for him.
"Hmph, if this were an ancient agricultural society, I could really make myself a god worshipped by all the people, at least on the level of the Dragon King."
After all, in ancient times, being able to feed people was considered the greatest act of merit.
Food is the most important thing for people.
Huang Yu carefully put away the black-faced frog god mask. This technique also has great research value; he wondered if it could be used to create a weather controller.
The group continued watching.
Only three items remain.
A brocade kasaya with a five-clawed dragon pattern.
A jade monk, as bright as a mirror, is the same size as a human, as if a real monk had been transformed into jade.
There is also a stone cat with a crack on its head, which is very lifelike.
Oddly enough, the three items were placed very close together, as if they were related.
Huang Yu picked up the kasaya, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "That's strange, why is there a five-clawed dragon pattern on the kasaya?"
The five-clawed dragon pattern has always been an exclusive design for the emperor, and it was impossible for ordinary people to use it.
Not to mention, the five-clawed dragon pattern appeared on a kasaya... which makes it even stranger.
"Could it be the robe of a monk emperor?"
Huang Yu remembered that one of the emperors associated with monks was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When he was desperate, he became a monk to earn a living.
Another example is Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, who was obsessed with Buddhism and became a monk four times, which could even be said to have misled the country and its people.
Suddenly, Huang Yu felt a vibration of energy behind him.
He turned around and saw that it was Ah Xing who was acting strangely.
Ah Xing stared blankly at the Jade Monk, his aura surging. Even the disguise Huang Yu had given him as General Luo could not be maintained, and he reverted to his original appearance.
Upon seeing this, the members of the Tang Clan secretly thought to themselves, "As expected, this General Luo was an imposter."
Zuo Ruotong raised an eyebrow, not expecting it to be Ah Xing in disguise as General Luo.
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Huang Yu stepped forward and carefully observed the situation. Seeing that it wasn't anything bad, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah Xing, has this been a sudden realization?"
He glanced at Ah Xing, then at Monk Yu, his eyes flashing rapidly with a mysterious array of magic.
After a moment, Huang Yu stopped his deductions, his brows furrowing slightly.
This deduction was equally difficult, as all that was known was that the Jade Monk indeed possessed some kind of inheritance.
Of all those present, only Ah Xing, who possessed the deepest aptitude for Buddhism, had any insight.
And these three things seem to be related.
"What's going on?"
Huang Yu immediately looked at Jimmy: "Have someone search the Fish Dragon Society's top-secret files to see if there is any information about these items."
"understand!"
Jimmy nodded and immediately ran out.
Huang Yu glanced at the five-clawed dragon-patterned brocade kasaya, the jade monk, and the stone cat, lost in thought.
"I've analyzed these three items, and they seem to be related, perhaps even from the same place."
Tang Jiaren smiled and looked at the last stone cat: "I do have a vague impression of this thing."
"Hmm? Mr. Tang recognizes this thing?"
"When I was young, I assassinated a tomb raider from the Xieling sect."
Tang Jiaren said calmly, "That tomb raider is indeed quite skilled; he tamed a stone beast, which is very troublesome."
"Not only is he incredibly strong and his body is incredibly hard, but he also has a special ability to spew out yin energy, which has caused me a lot of trouble."
"Later I learned that the stone beast was actually a tomb guardian beast."
"A tomb guardian beast?" Huang Yu pointed at the stone cat. "This thing is a tomb guardian beast?"
Tang Jiaren nodded and explained:
“That’s right, and it’s a living tomb guardian beast, not a dead decoration.”
"It is said that the artisans of this mausoleum have a secret method for cultivating tomb guardian beasts, which can bring inanimate objects to life and protect the mausoleum from outsiders."
Chapter 124 The Suspicious Tomb of Emperor Jianwen, the Water Pool Situation
Huang Yu stroked the stone cat, feeling the texture of the stone:
"The ability to bring inanimate objects to life is even more profound than the Divine Machine Refining technique."
Zuo Ruotong nodded: "Turning the dead into the living, giving inanimate objects a spirit, I have never seen such a method in all my years of wandering the world."
A hint of agreement flashed across Huang Yu's eyes.
Even if a magical artifact has developed supernatural abilities, it cannot be said that the artifact possesses sentience.
Having spirituality means having wisdom, which is equivalent to creating a life.
A power that only gods possess!
Even in modern science, creating life out of thin air remains a taboo subject.
Tang Jiaren laughed and said, "To put it bluntly, it's a special method of refining artifacts, but it's made by using the Yin energy of the mausoleum."
Huang Yu wondered, "If this stone cat is a tomb guardian beast, why is it completely still? It also doesn't seem to have any vitality or life force."
"Because the tomb guardian beast is already dead!" Tang Jiaren pointed to the crack on the stone cat's neck.
"Even the tomb guardian beasts have no chance of escaping such fatal damage; instead, they will quickly lose their vitality and turn into mere inanimate objects."
Huang Yu stroked his chin: "So, it's quite possible that these three items were actually stolen from an ancient tomb by the Japanese?"
Just then, Jimmy's footsteps approached.
Holding a stack of documents, he excitedly walked up to Huang Yu: "Master, I've found the relevant records!"
"Oh? Tell me more details."
Everyone crowded around, eager to know what had happened.
Jimmy opened a document and began to explain:
"The dragon-patterned kasaya, the jade monk, and the stone cat did indeed come from the same ancient tomb."
"In Shangjinbei, Ningde, the Japanese found a stupa containing the relics of a high-ranking monk from the Ming Dynasty."
"The pagoda has inscriptions and Buddha statues, and is worshipped with incense, but in fact, these are just a cover."
"After stealing the Buddha statues and relics from the stupa, they discovered a hidden secret beneath the stupa..."
"Beneath the stupa, there is an underground palace!"
Everyone listened intently, holding their breath, and even Huang Yu felt an urge to reach for some melon seeds.
Even though they knew the tomb had been robbed, everyone still couldn't resist wanting to know the secrets hidden within.
Jimmy continued:
"The Japanese, taking advantage of the darkness, dug open the underground palace and discovered that it was a mausoleum."
"The mausoleum is modeled after the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, but on a smaller scale."
"In the main coffin, they found the five-clawed dragon-patterned brocade kasaya, a replica of the imperial court robes, and a jade tablet..."
Huang Yu murmured, "A replica of imperial court attire... Could it really be the tomb of some unknown emperor?"
"What guesses do the Japanese have?"
Jimmy said, "Well, after extensive investigation, the Japanese believe that this is the burial place of Emperor Jianwen after the Jingnan Rebellion!"
"Emperor Jianwen?!" Zuo Ruotong exclaimed in surprise. "After the Jingnan Rebellion, Emperor Jianwen's whereabouts have always been a mystery. How did he end up in Fujian?"
"According to the History of Ming, in the fourth year of Jianwen's reign, the capital fell, a fire broke out in the palace, and the emperor's whereabouts became unknown." Huang Yu recalled various rumors from his previous life.
"It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang once secretly kept a certificate of ordination and a cassock in the palace. When the city fell, Zhu Yun shaved his head and became a monk. He escaped through a secret passage and was escorted by eunuchs and former officials to wander the world."
"If the rumors are true, then there is indeed a possibility that this is the tomb of Emperor Jianwen."
"However, there are no corpses in this monk's tomb. There are no living people or dead bodies. There is only this five-clawed dragon patterned kasaya, which proves nothing."
Jimmy turned to a new page in the file.
"The Japanese thought the same way. They believed it was just a decoy tomb to mislead tomb raiders, and that the real tomb was hidden deeper in the ground."
"They spent a lot of manpower and resources searching every corner of the monks' tomb. Finally, they determined that the road leading to Emperor Jianwen's tomb was hidden in a pool of water."
Huang Yu raised an eyebrow: "There's a pool of water in the monk's tomb?"
