Chapter 440 Going Down to the Tomb
Seeing Su Ming's expression, Chu Yue understood everything he had noticed.
A trace of pain and despair flashed in her eyes, and then her knees weakened, and she knelt down in front of Su Ming with a plop, her voice choked with sobs: "Sir, please help me! I have been trapped in this tomb for hundreds of years. I struggle in endless pain every day, unable to rest. As long as you can untie me, I am willing to pay any price, even if it means sacrificing my soul!"
Her eyes were full of pleading and pain, and her voice was shrill, as if her soul was wailing.
Seeing her kneeling and crying, Su Ming could not help but feel a pity in his heart. He thought that helping Chu Yue fulfill her last wish would not only relieve her pain, but he would also have the opportunity to use her wish to improve his own strength. After all, he has now felt the power of heaven, and if he wants to continue to grow, he needs more willing support.
Su Ming sighed softly and reached out to help Chu Yue up: "Okay, I promise you. I will help you unlock the seal of this ancient tomb and allow you to reincarnate smoothly."
Chu Yue's tears flashed and her voice trembled: "Thank you, thank you, sir!"
Su Ming closed his eyes and continued to use his mind to explore the specific location of the tomb.
His consciousness was like an invisible hand, passing through the barrier of space, slowly extending into the distance, and finally locked onto the thousand-year-old tomb where Chu Yue's physical body was.
This ancient tomb was buried deep in the mountains, surrounded by gloomy air, and even the surrounding vegetation took on a strange withered yellow color.
"The location of the tomb has been found." Su Ming opened his eyes and said calmly. In order to ensure safety, he decided to take Mingtai with him, otherwise he would be too conspicuous as a child.
**
The two soon arrived at the thousand-year-old tomb that Chu Yue had mentioned.
At the entrance to the tomb, the archaeological team has set up a temporary camp.
The area was surrounded by well-equipped archaeologists, who were studying the ancient tomb and discussing how to get down to it.
This ancient tomb does not look particularly conspicuous from the outside. It is just a desolate stone forest surrounding an ancient tombstone. The inscription is blurry, as if it has been mottled by time.
However, Su Ming could clearly feel that this tomb was not simple. The Yin Qi in the tomb was so strong that it was suffocating, as if he could feel the breath of death with every step he took.
Mingtai looked around the tomb carefully and frowned: "This tomb... is not simple. The yin energy inside is too strong. No wonder no one dares to go down to the tomb."
When the leader of the archaeological team saw Su Ming and Mingtai, he immediately came up to them, with a bit of helplessness and awe on his face: "Master, you came at the right time. We have been studying this tomb for several months, but in fact Don’t dare go down. Because according to the ancient records we found, this tomb is extremely dangerous.”
As he spoke, he handed Mingtai a thick copy of ancient books with a nervous look on his face. "It is said that this tomb is not an ordinary tomb, but an 'evil tomb'. Hundreds of years ago, a vicious woman was killed. Sealed here, her resentment envelopes the entire tomb, and anyone who comes close will be haunted by evil things and even be killed on the spot. "
Su Ming and Tomorrow looked at each other, knowing that this person recognized them as someone else, but they didn't point it out. Instead, they took a look at the records.
It is written that every full moon night in this tomb, strange cries will be heard from the tomb. The cries are extremely sad, as if they are dead souls coming from the depths of hell.
There are also rumors that several tomb robbers tried to enter the tomb. As soon as the door of the tomb was opened, countless cold arms emerged from the ground and dragged them into the ground.
"Those who entered the tomb did not come out alive." The leader's voice was low, with fear in his eyes.
"This tomb has a very heavy evil spirit, which can suck away the yang energy of the living. Once a living person enters, he will be counterattacked by the evil spirit. In addition, it is full of ancient mechanisms and strange spells. So far, no one has Dare to enter rashly," the leader added, with deep fear in his expression.
"It is indeed dangerous." Mingtai nodded, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, "And the Yin Qi in this tomb has accumulated for hundreds of years. I'm afraid the resentment inside is no longer just an ordinary evil thing."
Su Ming thought deeply, and he understood that the reason why no one dared to enter this tomb so far was precisely because Chu Yue's body was sealed in it, and her resentment had turned the entire tomb into a vicious place. There are many mechanisms inside the tomb, not only ancient spell seals, but also various evil spirits from underground lurking inside.
Although the archaeological team is well-equipped, these dangers are far beyond their capabilities. In addition, the legend of the ancient tomb adds to the mystery and terror of this tomb, and many superstitious statements make them even more afraid of this ancient tomb.
"We prepared all the equipment, but the evil spirit in the tomb was too strong, and several explorations failed." The team leader said helplessly, "Some team members even got strange illnesses inexplicably because they were close to the tomb."
Facing this dangerous ancient tomb, Mingtai pondered for a moment and then firmly stated: "I want to go to the tomb. No matter what, I must go and explore it myself so that I can know what is going on in the tomb."
The captain of the archaeological team suddenly showed a surprised look, and quickly stepped forward to stop: "Master, you can't go down! We have tried several times. This tomb is too evil, and the mechanisms inside are complicated and extremely dangerous. What's more, we have tried several times. , all the people who went down before were in trouble, no one can come back alive! It's too risky for you to enter like this!"
Mingtai looked at the captain calmly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I have my own means to deal with these evil things and evil spirits. Moreover, the negative energy in this tomb is getting heavier and heavier. Sooner or later, it will explode and endanger more people. We can't delay it any longer."
Other members of the archaeological team also dissuaded him: "Master, if something happens to you, how can we explain to the Archaeological Association? Besides, this tomb is extremely dangerous. It's not just the negative energy, but also the ancient traps. No matter how capable you are, you can't do it alone!"
Mingtai looked at the captain and said slowly: "I understand your concerns, but I am not reckless. This time, I have made full preparations for going to the tomb."
"But..." The captain wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mingtai.
"Don't say anymore, I've made up my mind." Mingtai said firmly.
Just when everyone was still arguing about this, Mingtai said again: "And, I want to take Su Ming to the tomb with me."
As soon as this was said, everyone widened their eyes, and the air became quiet instantly,
as if the noise just now was all frozen by this sentence. The captain's expression changed from surprise to shock, his mouth opened slightly and could not close for a long time.
"Take... take this child to the tomb?" The captain couldn't believe his ears, pointed at Su Ming, and his expression was full of disbelief and worry.
The other members of the archaeological team also shook their heads to express their opposition, and some even whispered: "Master, you are taking a risk with the child's life! Even we adults dare not go down this tomb easily, let alone such a young child?"
"He is only three years old! Master, you can't do this!"
The captain shook his head and said seriously: "In any case, the child cannot go down to the tomb! If you insist, then I can only go down with you, at least this way I can ensure the safety of the child."
Mingtai didn't say much, and nodded silently to agree with the captain's proposal.
Su Ming stood aside, his expression calm, without the slightest fear.
