Chapter 170 Jingcheng Ruins
Many cultivators have been roaming the mountains outside Jingcheng, searching for the ancient tomb where the bronze tripod was unearthed.
The Nine Secrets of Tianyuan are extraordinary, and no family or sect can treat them indifferently.
Gu Chi and Lao Hei, led by the young man in brocade robe, came to a desolate mass grave.
The graves here have all been visited by people, and the dry bones in the tombs have been dug out and thrown aside.
"How wicked!" Gu Chi frowned, and Lao Hei was also very unhappy looking at the scene in front of him.
"I say, there is no way that the descendants of such a prosperous family in the past would be buried in a mass grave, right? Besides, this place has been dug up, so why are we here?" Gu Chi was puzzled.
"Don't question me with your own perspective. Just listen to me and you will be right." The young man in brocade robe walked back and forth in the mass grave, looking like he was measuring something with his feet.
The young man in brocade robes glanced back at them and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get your stuff out and start digging."
"No, do we really have to dig here again? What's the point?" Gu Chi's face was full of confusion.
"Superficial, I want you to dig not the surface, but the deeper underground tombs."
According to him, fifteen thousand years have passed, and the mausoleum area of the former noble family has long been buried deep underground. The mass grave above needs to be dug up to allow it to see the light of day again.
"They say they are teaming up, but they probably just want to find free labor!" Gu Chi complained in his heart, but he still took out tools such as a hoe and a shovel and started digging in this mass grave.
They had built tombs and mausoleums for many people, and this was the second time they had dug up a human grave, so they felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, they were not lucky. They did dig up an ancient tomb complex more than 20 meters underground, but it had nothing to do with the aristocratic family from 15,000 years ago.
At this moment, night has fallen, and there are no stars or moon in the sky, it is pitch black.
"boom"
Suddenly, the sky became bright and someone was fighting a fierce battle.
Two figures streaked across the night sky like two little suns, causing the sky to tremble.
"One is the Holy Son of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace. Who is the other little guy? He can actually compete with him." The young man in brocade robe looked up at the sky.
"It's Shen Tu Ling." Gu Chi was surprised. He didn't expect that this red-haired man would meet the Holy Son of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace so soon.
Both of them were shining brightly, shaking the sky and the earth, and then disappeared on the horizon.
"Very good, very good. The young are indeed formidable!" The clear eyes of the young man in brocade robes shone with brilliance. He looked at the two figures in the distant sky and nodded repeatedly.
Gu Chi glanced at him and said, "You still think you are young and intimidating, but you act like you are really old."
In the following days, the young man in brocade robe, along with one man and one dog, dug hundreds of ancient tombs, but still found nothing, no clues about the Nine Secrets of Tianyuan.
"No, are you sure? In the past few days, we have almost turned the surrounding ancient tombs area upside down!" Gu Chi couldn't help it anymore and felt that this guy was fooling them.
Even the silent Lao Hei was forced to speak, saying, "Don't you have an important clue left by Nangong Zheng? Why are you still wasting time here?"
"Wow, you can talk?!" The young man in brocade robe looked at Lao Hei in surprise.
"Don't interrupt me, are you sure?!"
Gu Chi glared at him, and Lao Hei couldn't help but bare his teeth at him.
Seeing that the man and the dog were about to run away, the young man in brocade robes quickly spoke to comfort them, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry. I'm following this clue and I'm sure we'll find it soon."
Five days later, the young man in brocade robes showed excitement and shouted, "Finally found it!"
"Have you found the burial site of that aristocratic family from the past?" Gu Chi asked hurriedly.
"No, we found the ruins of Jingcheng that are 15,000 years old." The young man in brocade robes replied.
This is a desolate plain, more than 300 miles away from the present Jingcheng. It is full of crooked dead trees and no green at all.
"What's the point of finding the ruins of Jingcheng? We can't even pinpoint the location of the tombs of that aristocratic family. We can't just dig them all up, right?"
"Don't worry, a powerful family like that is very particular about burial sites. I can identify a few important locations first."
At the end of the day, the young man in brocade robe identified fifty-four locations on the ruins of Jingcheng.
However, on the same day, several groups of people also found this place.
"Damn! We've met a master." The young man in brocade robe cried out that something was wrong.
This was not the worst. By the next day, the number of people who found this place had almost tripled or quadrupled, and there were shadows everywhere on this desolate plain.
"No, we have to speed up our work. We must find the ancient tomb where the bronze tripod was unearthed before them!" The young man in brocade robe no longer had the composure he had before. He picked up the hoe and began to dig the soil hard.
During these two days, they dug up eighteen tomb groups in one go, but the results were either empty tombs that had been visited by people, or tombs of other people in ancient times.
"Oh no! Twenty-seven of the fifty-four locations I identified have already been dug out!" The young man in brocade robe cried out in alarm.
There are only nine tomb groups left now. If nothing unexpected happens, the tomb unearthed in Tongling should be among these nine tomb groups.
"Hurry up, hurry up, move faster!"
The young man in brocade robe was sweating profusely, and the hoe in his hand was almost smoking.
However, more and more cultivators came here after hearing the news. Gu Chi noticed that Jiang Chengji, Li Wangcen, Tuoba Cang and others also came to this area.
"That red-haired guy is here too!" Lao Hei's eyes were like lightning as he looked towards the sky. He saw a long red light passing through the sky, and Shen Tu Ling landed in the distance.
"Come to think of it, I wonder who won and who lost in the battle between him and the Holy Son of Xuanyuan that day?" Gu Chi was very curious about the outcome of that battle.
"I guess they didn't have a real life-and-death battle that night. I think the guy from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace must have won." The young man in brocade robes looked into the distance and sensed the breath of the Son of Xuanyuan. The handsome man who seemed like a god who had only come to the world still had divine power as strong as the fire in the divine furnace. He didn't look injured at all.
"People from the Tuoba family are here too!"
At this moment, there were roars of wild beasts in the distant sky, and more than hundreds of strange beasts were galloping across the sky, each sitting with a powerful master. The dark armor reflected cold light, and the sky was rumbling from their trampling.
Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed past and landed on the distant horizon.
Everyone felt it. A pair of extremely fiery eyes swept over them, as if they could penetrate into people's bones. It must be the contemporary Son of God of the Tuoba family!
This divine son of the Tuoba family had been secretly cultivated by several ancestors of the Tuoba family since he was born. He only started to leave the house in recent years. People didn't even know the name of this divine son or whether he was a boy or a girl.
