Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling entered the bronze door and threw Chenpi A Si, who was only breathing his last breath, under the altar with intricate patterns. They watched him take his last breath with his eyes wide open in unwillingness.

"Han Yan, didn't you say before that you would save his life?"

Zhang Qiling looked at Chenpi A'Si who died with his eyes open, and thought of Zhang Hanyan's promise to him, and asked in doubt.

"Well, but he has reached the end of his life now. He can't be kept alive by external means, so... I have no other choice."

Zhang Hanyan shrugged helplessly, sighed lightly, squatted down and gently stroked Chenpi A's wide-open eyes.

Chenpi, this is the setting of the original plot, and it is also your life. I can't protect you, so I have broken my promise to Mr. Jie Jiu. I'm sorry.

【Host, this is not your fault...】

Zhang Hanyan stood up and took out a flare from his backpack. The flare rose into the air, illuminating the world behind the bronze door.

Behind the bronze door, the bronze pillars standing around the altar were extremely thick, standing upright, with no end in sight.

There are countless winding red snakes carved on the bronze pillar. Although the snakes carved on the bronze pillar have different postures, their eyes are all looking towards the central altar without exception.

Various snakes are carved around the circular altar, all of which are in a posture of worship, kneeling down to the relief in the center of the altar.

The light from the flares became dimmer and dimmer, and the surroundings slowly fell into darkness.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qiling quickly took out another flare and fired it into the air. The burning of the flare made everything around him visible again.

"Young man, look at the totem in the middle, it has a human head and a snake body. According to legend, the goddess Nuwa appeared in this image.

The Queen Mother of the West is the deity in charge of immortality in mythology. I have seen records about the Queen Mother of the West in the library in the clan leader's courtyard. The records say that she has a close relationship with Fuxi and Nuwa.

Fuxi and Nuwa had human heads and snake bodies, so the Queen Mother of the West thought that the way to achieve immortality was - symbiosis between humans and animals. The King of Ten Thousand Slaves outside the Bronze Gate could confirm this speculation.

The King of Slaves is a monster that lives in symbiosis with centipedes.

However, the method of human-animal symbiosis made their faces become extremely ugly, so they later abandoned this method and invented another elixir that could achieve immortality - the corpse beetle elixir.

The corpse beetle pill can allow them to maintain their youthful appearance without the need for human-animal symbiosis.

I think this is probably the origin of the saying that the Queen Mother of the West can make people achieve immortality.”

Zhang Qiling stared at the totem carved on the altar and listened attentively as she told him everything she knew.

"Then this kind of corpse beetle pill should also have side effects, right? You said before that when we first went to the Xisha Undersea Tomb, the people who were traveling with us were fed corpse beetle pills and disappeared afterwards.

Now that I think about it, they were probably captured and used as subjects for an experiment."

"Yes, after they eat the Corpse Beetle Pill, their consciousness will gradually be devoured by the Corpse Beetle King in their bodies. Eventually, they will turn into crazy monsters, the forbidden woman who made Wu Xie fall into an illusion in the underwater tomb."

Zhang Qiling recalled the monster with white clothes, long hair and a mouth full of sharp teeth that they encountered in the sea when they went to the Xisha Underwater Tomb with Wu Xie, and he couldn't help but frowned.

"Then what's the meaning of such longevity?"

Zhang Hanyan recalled the various information that the system had organized for her and discovered that whether it was the Queen Mother of the West, King Mu of Zhou, Tie Miansheng, Wang Zanghai, or King Wannu, they all wanted to achieve immortality, but in the end, no one could succeed.

The Queen Mother of the West was trapped in the meteorite jade of Tamutuo for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, she tried to use the meteorite jade to suppress the Corpse Beetle King in her body and prevent herself from alienating.

But thousands of years later, she still failed.

King Mu of Zhou received a jade figurine from the Queen Mother of the West, thinking that he could gain immortality with the help of it. However, in the end, it only served as a wedding dress for others and was worn by Tie Miansheng.

Tie Miansheng was also taken out of the coffin by Zhang Qiling and strangled to death, and his attempt to achieve immortality failed.

Not to mention Wang Zanghai and King Wannu, they all, without exception, failed in their pursuit of immortality, just like the previous ones.

Therefore, the immortality that these people pursued ultimately did not bring them the results they dreamed of.

Just as the two were studying the bronze altar, four red snakes coiled around the bronze pillars woke up one after another in the darkness.

Their bodies were so huge that they were almost as thick as the copper pillars. The scales on their bodies glowed a blood-red light in the darkness. As they crawled, they rubbed against the patterns carved on the copper pillars, making rustling sounds.

The sound of snakes crawling and spitting out their venom seemed particularly loud in this quiet space, and immediately made Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling highly alert.

The light around the altar flickered, and Zhang Hanyan looked vigilantly at every corner.

"What is that? A lamp slave?"

Countless lamp slaves stand around the four towering bronze pillars. They are arranged in a stepped manner, layer upon layer, with no end in sight.

"Brother, I will use the True Fire Talisman to set all those lamp slaves on fire."

"it is good."

Countless True Fire Talismans were waved out and landed one by one on top of the lamp slave. The moment the talisman paper and the lamp slave touched each other, the long-solidified thousand-year-old lamp oil inside was instantly ignited.

As lights lit up one after another, the legendary mysterious and frightening place behind the bronze door gradually appeared before their eyes.

In addition to the altar in the center and the bronze pillars around it, there is actually an extremely huge stone behind the altar.

The stone was so huge that it looked like a rolling mountain range.

In the reflection of the fire, the stone appeared to be a jade-green color, and a transparent light emanated from the inside of the stone.

"Could this be the meteorite jade? If this is the meteorite jade, then - this should be the secret to achieving immortality behind the bronze door, right?"

[Host, this thing is so big! It's like a mountain! If it's all top-grade jade, then you'll be rich! ]

Are you obsessed with money?

[Uh... That's not the case...]

Zhang Qiling frowned and looked at the huge rock in the distance. The rock was surrounded by countless eye-catching red silk threads, and the silk threads were hung with densely packed bronze bells.

"Hanyan, look, there is a man-made passage in the middle of the stone. Let's go and take a look."

"it is good."

The two approached the boulder cautiously. The further they walked, the more they could feel how huge the boulder was and how small they were.

They stood in front of the boulder, looking solemnly at the passage in the middle of the boulder.

The passage is winding and can accommodate a person walking upright inside freely. It is unknown where it leads to.
