Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chu Ning's fingers touched the carved patterns on the stone door, but she didn't see that sentence.

"Those who enter this door must have all their hopes at that time."

The soldiers and Lieutenant Zhang Qishan pushed this stone door for a long time with all their strength until a gap was opened.

Now Chu Ning would definitely not be able to push it open by herself, but Chu Ning naturally put her hand on the door and pushed it with all her strength.

The strange thing is that such a huge stone door was pushed open easily like two pieces of paper, and a deep sound was made.

Chu Ning clapped her hands and looked at the darkness ahead. Without any fear, she raised her legs and stepped into the door.

Just after Chu Ning turned on the flashlight and walked a certain distance, the stone door behind him made a heavy sound again, and Chu Ning shined the flashlight over it.

I found that the stone door was slowly closing as if someone had pushed it.

Chu Ning twitched her lips, "It's easier to get in than to get out~"

He turned around again and walked forward relying on the light of the flashlight. As he walked, Chu Ning noticed something was wrong.

The space here is so empty, it's like a dead thing.

There was no sound around, and there was no air circulation.

It was quiet, as if I had arrived in a strange space.

Chu Ning took out the torch from his backpack, poured kerosene on it, and lit it with a fire stick.

This torch was given to Chu Ning by Adjutant Zhang from a soldier. Chu Ning's flashlight was out of power at that time.

Adjutant Zhang was worried that Chu Ning could not see the road clearly, so he stuffed one into Chu Ning's backpack in case of emergency.

It came in handy now. Chu Ning did not walk forward anymore. He looked sideways at the torch at hand. The flames did not waver at all. Sure enough, there was no air circulation here!

Chu Ning did not continue moving forward, but jumped twice on the spot, feeling the feeling of the soles of her feet landing.

Chu Ning looked down and saw that the marble floor was as smooth as a mirror. If there was enough light, people's shadows could be reflected on it.

Chu Ning shined the torch around again. The murals on the four walls depicted various gods, lifelike, as if they would come out to talk to people at any time.

Chu Ning looked at the things on the mural and noticed something strange.

If I go by my guess, this is a copy of the previous scene of the stone gate and tomb chamber, but the carving of that sentence is missing on the stone gate.

After entering this "fake" stone door, the stone sculptures around the original stone door and the stove top connected by an iron chain in the middle were gone.

Instead, there are colorful murals, and the contents on the murals...

Chu Ning looked closer and saw that the mural closest to him seemed to depict a mythical beast.

This mythical beast has a sheep's head, wolf's hooves, a round head, and colorful body. It is about 2 meters tall.

The body is like a musk deer, the tail is like a dragon's tail, and it also has dragon scales and a horn.

When these things were put together, a name immediately popped into Chu Ning's mind, "Qilin."

What is painted here is actually a Kirin mythical beast. Ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" mention that Kirin is a mythical beast from ancient times.

Chu Ning looked back and found that these murals actually told the origin of the Qilin beast and some corresponding deeds.

Chu Ning looked over one by one and found no information, but was attracted by the unicorn on the colorful mural.

Chu Ning read the murals on both sides and found that these murals included all the categories of unicorns known to people.

The first mural Chu Ning saw was the fire unicorn, and the subsequent murals were the earth unicorn and the golden unicorn.

Correspondingly, the murals on the opposite wall depict wooden unicorns, water unicorns and jade unicorns.

But there are no words or narratives on these murals.

After Chu Ning read them all, although the weird feeling still enveloped him, he could only move forward again.

There is no more door here, but it is as if there is only this tomb, silent and empty.

Chu Ning didn't know how long he had been walking. Just when Chu Ning thought he was going to return without success this time, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chu Ning raised the torch and illuminated the flashlight upward.

A pitch-black claw appeared in front of him. Looking closely, it seemed to be carved out of copper and black jade.

It gave people a feeling of oppression, and Chu Ning only felt that there seemed to be life in it.

Noticing a groove on the wall nearby, Chu Ning walked over, smelled it, and finally tentatively brought the torch closer and lit it.

Inside the groove was corpse oil. The groove Chu Ning discovered was an ignition port. When the flame came into contact with the corpse oil, it made a "cracking" sound.

In an instant, a line of fire ignited from the wall, and quickly extended to both sides with the groove as the center.

Through the light of the fire, Chu Ning finally saw clearly what was just blocking her eyes.

This is a Kirin stone statue carved out of black material over two meters high.

Different from the unicorn on the mural that Chu Ning saw when he first entered the stone gate, this statue is the first unicorn.

Shi Qilin is the ancestor of all Qilin, possessing strong vitality and magical abilities.

It is the mythical beast that created all unicorns and is regarded as the patron saint of the unicorn clan.

Chu Ning never thought that what she encountered was actually a stone sculpture of Shi Qilin.

The action of this stone sculpture is to sit on the ground, with one foot raised as if to step on the person's sole, and one foot dropped to the ground.

His head was facing forward, but Chu Ning felt that Shi Qilin's black jade pupils seemed to be moving back and forth as he moved.

Reaching out to touch Qilin's leg, Chu Ning felt a wave of warmth flow into his body.

Suddenly, Chu Ning's eyes burst with light. It turned out that the power in the tomb that supported his body's rotation and recovery came from this statue of Shi Qilin.

So Chu Ning took three steps back and bowed solemnly towards Qilin.

The boy's voice echoed in the empty tomb, "Thank you for your blessing."

After Chu Ning finished doing this, she walked back, but suddenly, Chu Ning's eyes were fixed on a certain place.

Here... there seems to be a statue of a mythical beast...
