Chapter 164: Zongzi Army
Feng Tianning paused, thought for a moment, nodded and said:
“It does matter.”
"Maybe it's the grave of an old friend."
The tomb suddenly fell silent. Except for Qin Guan, everyone looked at her in a speechless state. Fu Ruxuan coughed lightly, wanting to break the atmosphere, but she didn't know what to say.
She knew that Feng Tianning liked to talk nonsense to please others, but she didn't expect him to be so perfunctory today.
Although Pei Duyan and the others were indeed annoying, what she said was indeed a bit funny.
This ancient tomb looks like it has a history of at least several thousand years. Could it be that Feng Tianning has lived for thousands of years?
"Grandma, I believe you." Qin Guan spoke suddenly and winked at Feng Tianning.
Feng Tianning's portrait had been hung in the ancestral hall since the founding of their Qin family. After much verification, his father confirmed that she was the person in the portrait.
The Qin family has a thousand-year-old foundation, passed down from generation to generation. What's so strange about Feng Tianning living for thousands of years?
He had heard from Captain Liu a long time ago that when they first met, Feng Tianning was already a corpse in the forensic room, but later inexplicably came back to life and turned from an ordinary person into a monk who was proficient in Taoism and spells.
Although Qin Guan didn't know the origin of the portrait, he knew that Feng Tianning must be no ordinary person since he was enshrined in the Qin family ancestral hall.
He had a guess in his mind that maybe Feng Tianning was a god who came down to earth to experience trials and tribulations and possessed a mortal body.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him like a fool, Qin Guan snorted coldly:
"You ignorant people wouldn't be able to recognize a true God even if he stood before you."
Qin Guan had no idea that he had guessed about 60% to 70% right, and he just stood in front of Feng Tianning.
"Grandma, you see, I'm the only one who trusts you. From now on, we won't go on missions with these people with ulterior motives. What if they stab you in the back?"
“Only our own family is the most trustworthy.”
Feng Tianning looked around at everyone and said in a cold voice:
"I didn't ask you to believe anything."
"I don't know if the owner of the ancient tomb is an old friend of mine. It's just my guess."
"If you want to continue, follow me down. If you have doubts about me or are worried about something happening, you can stay here."
After these words were spoken, the tomb fell into silence.
Fu Ruxuan and Xuan Gouchen immediately stood beside her and said:
"Tianning, we believe you too, we were just a little surprised for a moment."
"Yes." Xuan Gou Chen added hurriedly:
"We are teammates. The special case team can't be separated. Of course I have to go down with you."
Pei Duyan looked at them with a sullen face, and clenched his hands at his sides into fists.
He thought for a moment, then turned around and instructed He Tao and Lu Quan behind him:
"I'll go down with them. You stay here. If we don't come back for a long time, go to the special case team and ask for help immediately."
"No." He Tao was the first to refuse him.
"My mission is to protect you every step of the way. I can't let you go down alone."
Pei Duyan sighed helplessly and said:
"You know my physique, it easily attracts some messy things."
"If the three of us stay here, we'll just be giving our lives away. It's better to go with them. At least you'll be safe."
"The special case team will protect me."
"But..." He Tao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Quan.
"Since Professor Pei has said so, let's stay here."
Pei Duyan looked at him with some surprise, but didn't think much about it and gave He Tao a reassuring look.
"Okay." He Tao finally lost his temper.
This incident had already made everyone forget the face on the mural that looked like Feng Tianning, and they all gathered around the cave entrance.
Looking at the bottomless black hole, Feng Tianning felt a strange feeling in his heart becoming stronger and stronger.
"I'll go down first."
After saying that, she jumped down without hesitation.
This time the fall lasted an exceptionally long time. Feng Tianning felt like she was in the air for a full five minutes before her feet touched the ground.
No, it cannot be said to be the ground. At this moment, there is only a soft touch under my feet. After walking a few steps forward, the touch under my feet suddenly disappears, or it can be said that the ground suddenly disappears.
"Samadhi True Fire."
The moment the dim firelight came on, she realized that she was not on the ground at all, but still in mid-air.
What she stepped on was not the insect she had expected, but the head of a person standing upright.
It was hard to tell how big the tomb was at first glance. All that could be seen was the densely packed stone statues at her feet that looked like soldiers. They held the same weapon in their hands - spears, and seemed to be guarding something.
Feng Tianning looked around. These stone statues were placed very closely together, leaving no place for them to stand. Even if everyone came down, they could only stand on top of the stone statues.
The stone statue under her feet was already a little shaky. If she hadn't relied on her spiritual power to stay suspended in the air and just stepped lightly without exerting much force, the statue would probably have fallen over.
Feng Tianning looked around in confusion. For some reason, she always felt that someone was watching her, staring at her every move.
But there were pitch-black walls all around. From the moment they entered the ancient tomb, there wasn't even a trace of resentment or evil spirit inside. It was so quiet that it was a little eerie.
She could feel the malice in that gaze, as if if she moved again, something in the dark would rush out and tear her to pieces.
After looking around, she found that she was the only living person in this tomb, and the small character did not appear again.
Feng Tianning finally turned his gaze to the motionless stone statue of the soldier.
They seemed slightly different from when they came in just now, and the head of each stone statue seemed to have turned a little bit.
This slight change made all of their faces turn towards Feng Tianning. At this moment, she also figured out who was looking at her.
She had seen records about the cemetery in the library of the special case team. It was said that in ancient times, after the emperor's death, terracotta warriors would be made in the image of his soldiers and generals.
Firstly, it was to deter those with bad intentions, and secondly, they believed that even if they went to the Hall of Yama, they would still be the overlords. So they buried these stone statues in their cemeteries in advance, just to be able to dominate the underworld in the future.
This kind of soldier stone statue can be found in most imperial tombs. The surrounding negative energy and resentment penetrate into their bodies, turning them from dead objects into monsters that can move but cannot think. They chop down anyone they see and will not stop until all the living people in an area are killed.
Feng Tianning understood that the things under her feet were probably the rice dumplings that Pei Duyan and the others were talking about.
No wonder the two tombs went so smoothly just now. It turns out that the greatest danger of this ancient tomb is hidden here.
Feng Tianning flew back to the previous tomb chamber. When he saw her come out, the anxious look on Pei Duyan's face finally faded away.
