Chapter 1473: Changes in Emperor Sui's Mausoleum
Yu Qiubai took out the prepared incense sticks, lit three of them himself, and then handed the remaining three to Zhou Wen, saying, "Bow three times and you will be transported into the mausoleum."
"Bow incense three times?" Zhou Wen took the incense, but his expression became a little strange.
He was not averse to these things and was willing to burn incense, but based on his past experience, there would be no good consequences for those who were burned incense by him.
"You can only go in after burning incense. What if the stone statue explodes because of my worship? Will you still be able to go in and out?" Zhou Wen saw Yu Qiubai was about to burn incense and quickly stopped him.
"Teacher, let me worship first." Zhou Wen was afraid that after Yu Qiubai went in, the stone statue would be blown up by his worship, and then Yu Qiubai would be trapped inside and unable to get out.
"Okay." Although he didn't know why Zhou Wen wanted to bow first, Yu Qiubai still stepped aside.
Zhou Wen lit the incense, then walked towards the small stone temple, holding the incense in both hands, and was about to bow down to the stone statue.
But just as he bent his waist slightly, he heard a loud bang and saw that the stone statue moved sideways several feet, revealing a stone staircase leading down behind it.
"What's going on?" Yu Qiubai had entered the Shuhuang Mausoleum many times, but he had never encountered such a situation. He didn't know that there was a passage behind the stone statue.
"Teacher Yu, is this the road leading to Emperor Sui's Mausoleum?" Zhou Wen stopped bowing and turned to look at Yu Qiubai and asked.
"I really don't know about this. Before, when I entered the Shuhuang Mausoleum, as long as I burned incense, I would enter the mausoleum as if riding on clouds. I have never seen this stone staircase." Yu Qiubai said hesitantly.
"Then I'll go in and take a look first. Teacher, please wait for me outside." Zhou Wen said as he walked into the small stone temple and walked down the stone steps.
The stone steps were not wide, barely enough for one person to walk through, and the passage was too low, so Zhou Wen had to bend over to walk through.
Fortunately, nothing dangerous was found. When Zhou Wen reached the end of the stone steps, he found a pool of water.
Zhou Wen took a quick scan and knew that the pool was connected to the outside. He dived into the water and soon emerged from a fountain pool.
"Is this the Tomb of Emperor Sui?" Zhou Wen looked around and found many strange statues. Those statues were divided into two rows, arranged on both sides of the stone road. Each statue had a very strange shape, and it was impossible to tell what kind of creature it was.
Zhou Wen looked towards the end of the stone road and saw a huge stone statue there, a statue of a man holding a torch.
"Is that the statue of Emperor Sui?" Zhou Wen looked around and found that although the Emperor Sui's Mausoleum was very large, there was not even a dimensional creature inside.
Those stone statues seemed to be just stone statues. Even if Zhou Wen reached out to touch them, it did not cause any changes.
"How is this place? You can only enter it through a small temple. It is difficult for outsiders to come in. There are no dimensional creatures inside to cause harm, and the dimensional creatures from outside cannot get in. If it is used for living, there should not be any big problems." Yu Qiubai also walked in, looked around and said.
"I just don't know if there will be any more changes in the future." Zhou Wen said as he looked at the stone statues and the statue of Suiren.
"Suiren is the emperor of humanity. Even if something unexpected happens, it shouldn't be too dangerous, right?" Yu Qiubai said.
If it were in the past, Zhou Wen would have thought the same as Yu Qiubai, but since he saw the humanoid monster in the ancient city, Zhou Wen no longer thought so.
Suiren is indeed the emperor of humanity, but if he also turned into a demon, it is hard to say whether he would harm humans.
Although the Suihuang Mausoleum looks safe, there is actually a hidden danger. Where did those people who forced their way in go? Zhou Wen has scanned the entire mausoleum several times and did not find even a bug.
"It's really strange. Such a large cemetery is enough to build a city, but there is not even a dimensional creature." Zhou Wen felt that this place might not be as safe as it seemed.
"After I discovered the method to enter the Suihuang Mausoleum, I came in to study many times, but I didn't find any dimensional creatures. Moreover, dimensional creatures from other dimensional realms rarely approach the Suihuang Mausoleum." Yu Qiubai explained.
Zhou Wen also noticed this. They encountered many skeleton creatures along the way, but they didn't see any near the Suihuang Mausoleum.
"Let's go out and talk about it." After finding no problems, Zhou Wen took Yu Qiubai and left the Suihuang Mausoleum, intending to look around to see if he could find the small hand pattern.
After walking out of the stone passage, Zhou Wen came to the small stone temple again. He scanned the stone temple several times but did not find the small hand pattern.
I searched the outer wall of the Suihuang Mausoleum again, but still didn't find the little hand pattern. I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Is this Emperor Sui's Mausoleum really just a cemetery used to commemorate ancient sages?" Although Zhou Wen felt that it was not that simple, he really couldn't see any problem.
"Zhou Wen, what do you think?" Yu Qiubai asked Zhou Wen.
"It does look like it's suitable for human habitation. The space is large enough, and the entrance is hidden and difficult to enter. It seems that no dimensional creatures will come near here. It's very safe." Zhou Wen thought for a while and said.
"If you plan to build a human city here, I think many people will be willing to stay," said Yu Qiubai.
"Let me think about it." After Zhou Wen sent Yu Qiubai back, he returned to the Suihuang Mausoleum alone. He placed a recliner and a table under the Suihuang statue, and rested while observing the situation inside the Suihuang Mausoleum.
Zhou Wen also got the bird out. He originally brought it here hoping it could be of some help, but it was of no use at first. Later, the humanoid monster was too strong, so Zhou Wen did not dare to release it.
The little bird was standing on the table, pecking at the nuts that Zhou Wen had placed on the plate.
Zhou Wen waited for more than ten hours and didn't find anything wrong, but the bird suddenly flapped its wings and flew away.
Originally, Zhou Wen thought that the bird just wanted to move around after a long time, but who would have thought that the bird actually flew towards the statue of Emperor Sui and landed on the torch held in the statue's hand.
The bird opened its mouth and spit out a ball of phoenix flame. When the phoenix flame touched the torch, the torch, which was originally made of a stone statue, actually started to burn.
"Little bird, what are you doing?" Zhou Wen was wondering when he suddenly discovered that the entire cemetery seemed to have undergone some strange changes due to the burning of the torch.
Zhou Wen was startled and quickly summoned his companion pet, ready for battle.
But after waiting for a long time, no dimensional creatures appeared in the cemetery. Instead, the weeds and trees in the cemetery seemed to be growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they were under a fast-forward camera.
Sorry, I fell asleep while coding just now, good night.
