Liu Xiaoyuan was stunned when he heard Jia Youdao's words.
Liu Xiaoyuan had some doubts before: how could the tomb of a cultivator be opened for no reason? What was the reason behind it?
According to Liu Xiaoyuan's estimation, as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, he doesn't have the ability to control the opening of the tomb after his death, right?
However, Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to come in order to find the Pure Yang Grass, because what Master Zhou said might be true, and there might be the Pure Yang Grass in this tomb. If he didn't come, wouldn't he be missing this opportunity?
Now, Jia Youdao also suspects that there is something fishy going on, which makes Liu Xiaoyuan glance at Jia Youdao a couple of times.
"Oh, Teacher Jia, what are your doubts? Tell me about them," Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at Jia Youdao.
Jia Youdao said, "Brother, it's not that I'm being paranoid, I'm just expressing my thoughts. You see, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter how powerful he is, he can't control what happens after he dies, right?"
It seems that Jia Youdao and Liu Xiaoyuan share the same suspicions.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and asked in return, "Since you, Teacher Jia, have already expressed your doubts, why did you still come?"
Jia Youdao said, "Isn't there no other way? People say there are many good things here, so even if I have doubts, I still have to come. If it's true, I'll regret it to death if I don't come."
As they were talking, a sound suddenly came from the mountains, like rocks falling from a great height, rumbling and making a loud noise.
"The tomb door is open!" Jia Youdao said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
By this time, many cultivators had already flown toward the direction from which the sound came. They were all rushing to get there, as if they were afraid that if they were a step too late, the good things in the tomb would be snatched away by others.
"Let's go, brothers!" Jia Youdao called out enthusiastically, calling each of them "brothers" one by one, making Liu Xiaoyuan a little embarrassed.
When the two arrived at the entrance of the tomb, they saw a stone slab a full meter thick rise up, just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Looking at such a thick stone slab, Liu Xiaoyuan thought that even if he used a flying sword, it would probably be difficult to cut this stone slab in half.
"What a thick stone door!" Jia Youdao couldn't help but say. The stone door was indeed too thick, making Liu Xiaoyuan feel a little uneasy.
What if there's danger inside and the stone door closes again? It won't be able to get out quickly, and you'll be trapped inside.
But now that I'm here, if there really is Pure Yang Grass inside, I'll regret it.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Jia Youdao entered the tomb chamber and walked forward. The tomb chamber was very luxurious, like a miniature royal palace. There was even a corridor, and there were murals on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor. It can be said that a lot of money and resources were spent on it.
"Brother, let's not separate when the time comes, and be careful," Jia Youdao, the fat man, said somewhat fearfully.
No sooner had Jia Youdao finished speaking than the stone door at the entrance slammed shut with a loud bang.
Upon hearing the voice, Liu Xiaoyuan turned around and glanced back, his ominous premonition growing even stronger.
"Brother, tell me honestly, what brings you here this time?" Jia Youdao asked, his expression turning serious, the smile on his face disappearing.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I came here for the Pure Yang Grass."
Liu Xiaoyuan decided not to hide this matter anymore, because there was no point in hiding it anyway, since Jia Youdao would find out eventually.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Jia Youdao looked at Liu Xiaoyuan as if he were a monster, which puzzled Liu Xiaoyuan, who asked, "Teacher Jia, is there something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jia Youdao said, "Brother, are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know?"
Liu Xiaoyuan was even more confused. What do you mean by "you really don't know" or "you're pretending not to know"? I really don't understand what you're talking about.
"Teacher Jia, what are you saying? I'm a little confused," Liu Xiaoyuan said, implying that Jia Youdao should know about the Pure Yang Grass.
Jia Youdao said, "Brother, this Pure Yang Grass, since it has the words 'pure yang' in its name, should grow under sunlight. Otherwise, where would this grass get its pure yang energy? This is a tomb, there's no sunlight at all, only yin energy. You'd be more likely to find Pure Yin Grass in a tomb..."
Upon hearing Jia Youdao's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately realized that he had been tricked by Master Zhou.
Pure Yang Grass could not possibly grow in such a dark and sunless tomb. He had been tricked, and poor Liu Xiaoyuan had foolishly come here.
Seeing the disappointed look on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, Jia Youdao comforted him, "Brother, don't overthink it. Actually, I was also deceived by someone else."
Jia Youdao continued, "I now suspect that there are no good things in this tomb at all. We were tricked into coming here. As for why we were tricked, I still can't guess the reason."
Liu Xiaoyuan had the same thought, and the moment the large stone door of the tomb was closed, he knew he had been tricked.
However, now that we're here, we can't be careless or panic; we must wait and see how things unfold.
Since the other party tricked them into this tomb, they must have taken some measures, such as measures to prevent escape.
Therefore, the only exit at this moment is certainly not so easy to open.
"Brother, what do you think we should do now?" Jia Youdao asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Teacher Jia, let's wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Jia Youdao nodded and said, "For now, this is the only option. I hope this time it will be a close call, because I haven't lived enough yet!"
After Jia Youdao finished speaking, he began to pray to all the gods and Buddhas, begging for their protection and to save his life.
Seeing Jia Youdao like this made Liu Xiaoyuan want to laugh, but he wasn't in the mood to laugh right now.
"Ah!" Just then, Liu Xiaoyuan and Jia Youdao heard a scream.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Jia Youdao exchanged a glance and knew that something bad had happened; someone had definitely fallen into an ambush.
It seems that this trip here has been fraught with danger, and we have fallen into someone's trap.
“Brother, it seems that this time it’s not just the two of us working together, but everyone.” Jia Youdao said.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Teacher Jia, I hope we can get out of here alive this time!"
Since the other side dared to lure so many people in, they must have made thorough preparations. Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that the situation was not optimistic when facing the enemy.
Jia Youdao naturally knew the situation was like this, so he sighed and said, "Let fate decide, but I will try my best, because the fortune teller said that I will achieve great things."
