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

A group of people stood up and packed up their things in a daze. Under the gaze of Zhang Qiling and Zhang Hanyan, they lined up and walked into the gaps on both sides of the flap.

A huge, endless bronze door appeared before their eyes. The intricate patterns on the bronze door were simple and mysterious, which inexplicably made people feel fearful.

"Um...how do we get in?" the guard asked cautiously.

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but walked straight to the bronze door and reached out to touch a raised platform on the right edge.

On the platform, the pattern of a Qilin stepping on a ghost is lifelike.

"Brother, the ghost seal that opens the door..."

"I brought it. The Great Elder gave it to me before he left the Zhang family."

As he spoke, he put down his backpack and took out the ghost seal made entirely of jade from the interlayer of the backpack.

He placed the Ghost Seal on the raised platform and twisted it gently. With a soft click, all the mechanisms on the bronze door started up one by one from top to bottom, and finally slowly opened.

"Han Yan, I'll take him in, you wait for me outside!"

It was pitch black inside the bronze door, without a trace of light, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Zhang Hanyan did not agree to him. She turned around and waved to the guards behind her, then pointed at the man tied up with hemp ropes. They understood what she meant and immediately escorted him to them.

"Saint Lady... we, we shouldn't have to go in, right?"

She glanced at the trembling man with disdain and said coldly, "No, wait outside!"

When everyone heard her say this, they all lit up with joy and hurriedly retreated as far away from the bronze door as possible. If the gap had not been closed, they would probably have been able to retreat directly outside.

"Brother, let's go!"

Just as Zhang Qiling was about to open his mouth to stop her, Zhang Hanyan had already pulled the struggling man over and held the end of the hemp rope in her hand.

"I must go with you. None of us knows what's in there. I won't let you go in alone."

Her tough attitude made Zhang Qiling not know how to refuse her, so he could only nod and agree to let her go in with him.

When she saw him nod, a smile immediately appeared on her stern face.

He looked at her bright smile and thought, Hanyan, it seems like I can't refuse you every time...

"Brother? What are you daydreaming about? Let's go!"

"okay."

Zhang Hanyan took out the luminous dust-repellent beads that she got from the second elder’s secret room, and walked slowly into the bronze door in the faint light.

Zhang Qiling took the Ghost Seal from the platform and followed her in.

"Brother, why is there nothing in here?"

The light from the beads in Zhang Hanyan's hand was limited and could not see too far.

She simply put away the beads, and relying on the darkness around her so that Zhang Qiling couldn't see her movements, she blatantly took out the lighting talismans stored in the space and waved them in the air.

The surrounding space was illuminated, allowing them to see the murals carved into the dome and walls.

There are several thick columns standing around, and when you look up, you find that you can't see the end at all.

The lighting talisman burned out, and the surroundings became dark again.

"Young man, what did the Great Elder tell you? Can we just leave him here and leave?"

"Ah."

"There's nothing here. Without food or water, he can't even survive a week. How can he survive more than ten years?"

"They say that when a person is alive, they are guarded by others, and when a person dies, their soul guards him."

The man who was thrown into the corner by them trembled all over when he heard them say this, and a foul smell emanated from his body.

Zhang Hanyan released his spiritual sense to go deeper. At the deepest part, a huge circular altar stood quietly.

When she checked around the altar and made sure nothing was there and was about to leave, three eyes as big as lanterns suddenly opened. It seemed as if it knew she was there and stared at her motionlessly.

Is this... Candle Dragon? How long has it been here? This eye, I'm afraid it's been... thousands of years!

Zhulong woke up, the altar shook, and its huge body moved slowly, approaching the altar step by step. Although it was moving, its eyes were always looking in the direction of Zhang Hanyan.

Is it looking at me? It can see my consciousness!

This discovery made Zhang Hanyan dare not act rashly. She was only in the Qi training stage now and was no match for Zhulong at all.

What’s more... this is a candle dragon that has lived for who knows how many years!

Zhang Hanyan held her breath and concentrated, carefully withdrawing her spiritual sense. Before Zhulong could react, she quickly untied the hemp rope that bound the man, knocked him out with a palm, pulled Zhang Qiling up and ran outside!

She walked too fast. If she had walked a step slower, she would have seen countless eyes opening one by one around Zhulong, so densely packed that she could not count them at all.

"Han Yan, what did you see? What made you so panicked?"

"Let's talk about it after we get out!"

The two were running at high speed in the darkness. At this moment, Zhang Hanyan, knowing that there was something behind them, wished she could take Zhang Qiling with her and fly out on a sword.

The moment the bronze door closed again, Zhang Hanyan saw a blood-red eye through the tiny gap.

Completely different from the three eyes she had just seen, this eye was completely red and filled with murderous aura.

Zhang Qiling looked at her with fear on her face, and reached out his hand to touch her back with concern, "Han Yan..."

Tongzi! What is that?

[I’m sorry, host, I can’t say…]

You dog...

A long and beautiful passage of traditional Chinese culture left the system speechless and it dared not speak a word.

"Hanyan, what did you see?"

"Zhulong, before he dragged you away, it was Zhulong. But when the bronze door closed just now, it was not Zhulong. As for what it was, I don't know either. I only saw a blood-red eye."

Zhang Qiling frowned and thought for a moment, carefully recalling the classics he saw in the library.

"Red snake! The eyes of a red snake are red. I have seen them in the books in the library..."

Zhang Hanyan frowned, "Red Snake, isn't that an ancient beast? How could it be behind the bronze door? Could it be that the Queen Mother of the West imprisoned it in there? What's the purpose?"

Zhang Qiling couldn't answer her series of questions. He didn't know, so he could only remain silent.

She looked at the group of guards staring at them from behind and sighed, "Forget it, the person has already been sent in. We'll talk about it ten years later. Let's go back first!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Qiling was not that curious about what was behind the bronze door. It didn’t matter to him whether he knew it or not.

Compared to the difficulty of climbing the mountain, they walked very quickly when going down the mountain. Six days were shortened to four days, and they reached the hotel at the foot of the mountain where they had rested for one night.

The snow on Changbai Mountain was getting heavier and heavier, completely blocking their way back. The group had no choice but to stay in the hotel and wait until the wind and snow died down before leaving.
