Traveling Through the Heavens: Intercepting Duan Yu at the Beginning

Uncle Jiu shook his head. Although they were all high-ranking Taoist priests, they were used to living a carefree life and did not have much power in Taoism.

Now that such a big thing has happened, I'm afraid the leaders and elders of the Taoist sect will not be able to sleep well tonight.

"No more drinking. This is probably a big deal. I'm going to go out and send all my clients over."

"After I finish this order, I will come back to discuss and prepare this matter with you!"

After saying that, Taoist Simu drank the wine in the cup with a gulp, packed his luggage, and left the charity cemetery overnight.

"Alas, natural disasters and man-made calamities are always emerging. When will the people of this land ever find true peace?"

Looking at the bright moon that was gradually losing its blood color, Uncle Jiu shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of pity for the common people.

"The world will be in great calamity. All of us cultivators should be prepared."

"Brother, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai are still a little behind in their training. We will intensify their training starting tomorrow!"

Chen Fei glanced at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai who were still eating and drinking, and said to Uncle Jiu.

"Alright, you two brats, don't do anything from tomorrow onwards, just focus on your training!"

Uncle Jiu nodded, agreeing with Chen Fei's words.

For a moment, Qiu Sheng and Wencai wailed, and the food in their mouths no longer tasted delicious.

On the other side, in a lush mountain, time goes back to an hour ago.

A group of people looked at an opened entrance, their eyes full of excitement.

"Professor, we finally found the entrance to this ancient tomb!"

"Great! According to historical records, this tomb may have existed since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. If we can dig out the contents, we will surely become world-famous!"

"Hahaha, hard work pays off! Our research is finally making progress!"

The first few people hugged each other excitedly. They were wearing field combat uniforms. The oldest one among them wore a pair of glasses. He was a very famous professor in the archaeological field.

As for the people around him, they are all his assistants or students.

"Congratulations, Professor Li, we have finally completed the first step in opening the ancient tomb!"

A man in a blood-red robe walked forward and spoke to Professor Li and others who were still excited.

If Chen Fei and others were here, they would recognize at a glance that this was a member of the Blood God Cult.

"Hahaha, Taoist Zhang, I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't calculated the actual location of the entrance with your fingers, even if we had clues, I'm afraid we wouldn't have found the tomb so quickly."

"Don't worry, as long as we succeed in the excavation, your names will definitely appear on our list of excavators, and you will all become world-famous."

Professor Li shook the other person's hand enthusiastically and couldn't help laughing.

A year ago, Professor Li got a clue about a large tomb from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. He immediately organized his students and assistants to start searching. However, a year passed and nothing was found.

Just when he thought the clue was false, the man in blood-red robe found him and claimed that he could help find the tomb.

At first, Professor Li was naturally skeptical, but the other party said that since they had not found it after a year, why not give it a try? Even if there was still no clue in the end, there would be no loss.

So Professor Li, who was skeptical, handed the clue of the tomb to the other party. After studying it for a few days, the other party said that he had found the entrance.

Professor Li naturally didn't believe it, but just in case, he organized people to start a final search.

As a result, following the direction the man pointed, they actually found the entrance to the tomb.

"Haha, Professor Li, you're too polite."

"Professor Li is the one who has made the greatest contribution by finding such a large tomb. Once the things inside come out, Professor Li will not only become famous, but people all over the world will also thank you." The man in the blood-red robe said with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Hahaha, no, no, this is all thanks to everyone!"

Professor Li thought that the other party said that the people of the world were grateful to him so that future generations could see things from thousands of years ago, but he had no idea that a terrifying danger was waiting for him.

"It's getting late, let's get ready and go down to check the situation first!"

Professor Li finally reacted after being reminded by the people from the Blood God Cult. He nodded, arranged for his assistant to confirm that there was no poisonous gas in the air below, and then the group put on their equipment and entered the entrance of the tomb.

Chapter 120 Ancient Tomb

The tomb passage is very wide, but extremely dark, which makes it look eerie and scary.

Fortunately, no one present backed down. Professor Li and others had been conducting archaeological excavations all over the country and were already accustomed to such environments.

As for the people of the Blood God Cult, they are rats in the dark sewers, dealing with evil magic all day long, so naturally they are not afraid.

A group of more than ten people walked and stopped in the tomb passage, encountering many traps in succession, but they were always cracked in time by the people of the Blood God Cult.

"Master Zhang, thank you so much."

"I never thought this ancient tomb would be so dangerous. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have died under the traps long ago."

Professor Li had a look of fear on his face. Just now in the tomb passage, he was almost split in half by a huge axe falling on his head.

At the critical moment, Taoist Zhang behind him pulled him up, which saved him from danger.

"It's okay, we're all teammates, so it's only right that we help each other."

"Besides, Professor Li, you are all useful people, so you should keep your precious lives and make it to the end."

The Blood God Cult member surnamed Zhang grinned. Although Professor Li thought this was a bit strange, the other party had just saved him, so he naturally didn't think that the other party would harm him.

In this way, the group walked all the way to the depths of the tomb. After half an hour, a heavy bronze door blocked their way.

"Professor, this gate is covered with strange symbols that we can't understand!"

An assistant shone a flashlight on the bronze door and studied it for a long time but was unable to figure out what the symbols on it meant.

"Strange, I've never seen these characters before. This shouldn't be possible!"

Professor Li pushed his glasses up, a puzzled look on his face.

As a professor of archaeology renowned both at home and abroad, he recognizes all the ancient characters discovered in China except for the oracle bone script, of which he only recognizes a part that has been deciphered.

However, he did not recognize any of the symbols carved on the bronze door in front of him, and he was sure that this was definitely not a type of oracle bone script.

"Everyone, this is a symbol related to metaphysics. Leave the task of opening this door to us!"

The Blood God Cult member surnamed Zhang spoke, and waved his hand. The three Blood God Cult members who had been following him slowly stepped forward. They took out the gourds they had been carrying with them and reached out to pull out the stoppers.

Professor Li and others looked at the gourds in the hands of the three people. They had been paying attention to this gourd for a long time. No matter how thirsty these three people were, they never took out the gourd to drink. Now it seems that there is no water in it.

Their answer was soon revealed. As they watched, three streams of green liquid flowed out of the gourd. With the appearance of the green liquid, a fishy and unpleasant smell filled the ancient tomb.

"It stinks!"

"This smell is as bad as a dead fish or rat that has been rotting for a few days!"

The two female students covered their noses and complained softly, and the others couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Faced with the disgust of the archaeological team, the three members of the Blood God Cult remained unmoved. They muttered something, and then a scene that violated Newton's laws of nature magically appeared.

The green liquid that was about to fall to the ground actually floated slowly in the air, and then the three balls of green liquid seemed to have life and meandered towards the bronze gate.

"How amazing! Is this the way of Taoism?"

"That's amazing, Professor. Can science explain this?"

Several students and assistants looked at the magical scene of liquid flowing in the air and asked Professor Li.

In response, Professor Li coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment on his face. As a senior professor of archaeology, he naturally knew that some things could not be explained by science.

But he didn't know the specific principles and couldn't explain this scene to his students.

Buzz...Boom...

At this moment, after the green liquid in the air touched the bronze gate, the mysterious symbols on the bronze gate began to flash with strange light, and the bronze gate, which was originally like an unshakable sacred mountain, actually trembled slightly.

Then, a bronze gate weighing several tons slowly rose from the ground, revealing the dark and deep space behind it.

“It’s open, it’s really open!”

"Divine skills. It's incredible that such incredible methods existed thousands of years ago."

"If our people could study Taoism well, perhaps it would be more shocking than the science of foreigners."

Professor Li and others were surprised and puzzled. They were deeply shocked by the methods displayed by the people of the Blood God Cult and the magic of the bronze gate.

"Let's go in and take a look. The biggest surprise of this ancient tomb should be inside."

The people from the Blood God Cult were the first to step in. With the help of the flashlights in their hands, they could roughly see the environment inside. It was a wide space.

"Here are the oil lamps!"

One of the archaeological team members exclaimed in surprise. He took out a match and casually lit the oil lamp embedded in the wall. However, a flame from the oil lamp spread to the side.

As the oil lamps were lit along the line of fire, the entire tomb instantly became as bright as day.

"It's amazing, absolutely amazing. An oil lamp left over from thousands of years ago can still be lit today. If this gets out, who would dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients?"

All members of the archaeological team exclaimed in amazement, obviously shocked by this scene.

"Huh? What's going on? In such a large tomb, there's only one coffin and one stone tablet?"

With the help of the light of the oil lamp, everyone finally saw the environment in the tomb clearly. The many burial objects that they had originally imagined did not exist. In the huge tomb chamber, there was only a huge coffin lying in the center of the circular platform.

The coffin was wrapped with thick bronze chains, the ends of which were nailed firmly to the rock wall or the ground.

"This...this isn't right. This doesn't look like a tomb. It looks more like...a cage holding something!"

Professor Li spoke with doubt in his heart. Everything in front of him was too strange.

"Professor, there are words on the stone tablet. It seems to be writing something!"

A brave student stepped forward to take a look at the stone tablet and saw something written in oracle bone script. However, due to his limited knowledge, he could not understand what was written.

"Let me see!"

Professor Li stepped forward, wiped his glasses, and carefully examined the words engraved on the stone tablet.

"Corpse King's Tomb, hiss..."

Just reading the first three characters made Professor Li gasp and his expression turned into horror.

After he had thoroughly read the text at the back, Professor Li prepared to leave with his people without saying a word.

"Go, go quickly, we can't stay here!"

"Everyone, leave now!"

Looking at Professor Li's panicked expression, the students and assistants were puzzled. They wanted to ask something, but Professor Li didn't give them a chance.

"Everyone, the tomb has just been excavated, why are you ready to leave now?"

Just when Professor Li was about to take everyone away, a group of four people from the Blood God Cult blocked the entrance to the tomb.

Chapter 121 The Blood God Cult's True Plan

"Master Zhang, listen to me, we can't stay here, we have to leave quickly!"

Seeing that the people from the Blood God Cult blocked the exit, Professor Li couldn't help but speak anxiously.

"Professor, what's going on? We finally found this tomb, and it's really hard to leave empty-handed!"

"Yes, Professor, please tell us the reason!"

Several students spoke up, saying that if this tomb could be successfully excavated, they would become famous throughout the archaeological community, and it would be a glorious record when they looked for jobs after graduation.

But after their professor took a look at the inscription, he seemed to be frightened and wanted to run away in a hurry.

"You guys... Oh, forget it, I'll tell you what's written on it."

"According to the oracle bone inscriptions on this stele, the person buried in this tomb is not a prince or noble, but a thousand-year-old corpse king, a corpse king powerful enough to destroy the world."

"According to the inscriptions, the corpse king in this tomb is a descendant of a legendary general and minister, and his power is extremely terrifying."

"During the Shang Dynasty, this corpse king slaughtered the common people. Eventually, Emperor Xin sent a group of Qi cultivators to capture it at a great cost."

"However, this thousand-year-old corpse king is indestructible. Even powerful Qi cultivators are unable to completely destroy it. In the end, they can only drain all his blood, seal his acupoints, make him unable to move, and then seal him in this mountain."

"The coffin we saw contained the terrifying thousand-year-old corpse king."

"If he escapes, I'm afraid the whole world will be in disaster!"

Professor Li looked worried, but after hearing his words, his assistants and students all looked strange, and some of them even couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Pfft... Professor, are you so scared just because of what's written on the tombstone?"
