Chapter 184 Just like human beings always need stories...
Hunti Gu Ganyu used strict laws to consolidate his royal power and maintain his own image.
As the resting place of royal family members, the symbolic significance and importance of the royal mausoleum are self-evident.
What to do if the harp is placed in the royal tomb has become the most difficult problem.
"Go and have a look before we talk."
Morrow glanced at the noisy searching hand in Lu Pei's hand.
Kang Zai nodded.
The three of them continued to move forward.
Soon, a palace built against the mountain appeared in front of them.
In front of the palace, there is a Shanmen Hall with three doors standing side by side.
The ground from Shanmen Hall to the palace is entirely paved with blue bricks.
Stone gate, green road, palace.
It is exactly the royal tomb that Kangzai mentioned.
Morrow, Kang Zai, and Lu Pei all stopped at the same time.
"It's right there, right there!"
Hands searching for things are as noisy as a crow, and he keeps poking at the royal tomb in the air with his middle finger.
Kang Zai frowned and whispered: "Lu Pei, shut up."
There are two ordinary houses near the Shanmen Hall of the King's Tomb.
That was obviously the residence of the tomb keeper.
And the terrain here is open. If the Seeking Hands are allowed to continue making noise, it is likely to attract the attention of the tomb guard. Lu Pei did not speak, but silently put away his abilities.
As the thought energy dissipated, the hand searching for the object disappeared into thin air, and the surroundings suddenly returned to silence.
Kang Zai then looked at the palace building ahead, which was the entrance to the underground royal tomb, but only members of the royal family were eligible to enter.
"The thing is really in the royal tomb, there is nothing we can do."
Kang Zai frowned and sighed helplessly.
The tombkeepers responsible for guarding the royal tombs naturally cannot stop them.
What really stops them is Gu Ganyu’s extremely strict laws.
No telepath, not even Netero, can withstand the wrath of a superpower.
Morrow glanced at Lu Pei who was accompanying him without leaving any trace. Even though he had many thoughts in his mind, he could only put them aside for the time being.
The cold wind blew from afar, bringing with it a biting chill.
The people did not stay for too long before turning and leaving.
The special nature of the royal tomb ultimately deterred Moreau and Kang Zai.
For a moment, Kang Zai even had the idea of "giving up".
Although he may exhaust all his energy and energy in order to solve this matter.
But the obstacles in front of him were enough to make him lose his last strength.
Not long after returning to the temple, Lu Pei realized that he had completed the commission, and then went directly to Moro.
As Kang Zai expected, Lu Pei extended an invitation to Moreau.
Morrow refused on the spot.
Lu Pei was not angry, but he did not continue to pester, and instead made a request to exchange communication numbers.
Morrow felt that the ability of "Calling for Lost Things" was very functional, so he agreed to Lu Pei's request.
That evening.
Lu Pei received a good reward from Kang Zai and then left Haozhu City.
A professional hunter like him who is committed to pursuing fame, fortune and status will devote all his time and energy to his career without stopping.
In a sense, Lu Pei is worthy of his status as a "professional hunter".
Night falls.
Curt came back from playing outside with a pile of food in his hands.
"Moro, what's wrong with him?"
Coming to the covered bridge, Kurt looked at Kang Zai who was sitting on a stone chair in the yard not far away. He put a piece of sugar cake into Moreau's hand and asked curiously.
At this time, Kang Zai was frowning and obviously worried.
Morrow took a bite of the sugar cake and said: "We encountered a 'difficulty'. "
"Is there no way to solve it?"
Kurt raised his eyes at Kang Zai's back.
Morrow nodded slightly and then changed the topic: "Have you had fun these days?"
Morrow smiled when he saw this.
People’s joys and sorrows are not the same.
Kang Zai, who should have been free, is now taking the initiative to bear a heavy ideological burden because of the things in front of him.
· Kurt, who should have been restrained, instead found rare freedom in this city, leaving behind the shackles of his thoughts so far, and enjoying his unfettered time.
No matter what -
When he learned that the harp was placed in the royal tomb, Moreau actually had many thoughts, but in the end he rationally gave up this opportunity to recharge the annual rings.
In this large country with a monarchy, even the slightest disrespect to the royal family members will be sentenced to death, let alone touching the resting place of the royal family members.
Furthermore, there are many opportunities to recharge the growth rings——
Morrow does not need to take huge risks for this opportunity.
At night.
Kangzai knocked on Moro's door.
Morrow opened the door and felt slightly comfortable when he saw Kang Zai.
Kang Zai looked at Moreau, sighed and said: "Moro, I actually regret it a bit."
"Do you regret it——"
Moro was a little surprised, "This is not something you would say."
Kang Zai smiled bitterly, and the scene when he parted with Moro at the noodle shop last year came to mind.
If he had not insisted on finding out about this matter at that time, he would not be in this dilemma now.
"I regret the decision I made at that time."
Thinking of this, Kang Zai slowly suppressed the bitterness on his face, and a trace of fierceness gradually appeared in his eyes, "But the matter has come to this, I'm sure - I don't want to give up halfway, so I will never regret the next decision."
"You are not Kang Zai." Morrow suddenly said.
Kang Zai was stunned for a moment, and several question marks suddenly popped up in his head.
「什么？！」
「康宰哪能一下子用对两个成语。」
Kang Zai’s eyelids jumped, and he was helpless and unable to refute Moreau’s ridicule.
Morrow smiled slightly, and then asked: "So what are you going to do?"
Kang Zai was silent for a moment when he heard the words, his lips moved slightly, he seemed to be struggling, and he was speechless for a moment.
This state lasted for several seconds before he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I plan to take the risk of entering the royal tomb."
After saying this, he paused, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"Morrow, help me?"
"Help."
Morrow said.
From the moment Kang Zai said he didn't want to give up halfway, Morrow had already guessed the motive behind his visit. The Twelve Earthly Branches in front of him finally decided to go all the way to the end. Is this due to his personality, or is he still unable to cross the hurdle in his heart?
Morrow actually doesn’t understand.
But since Kang Zai spoke like this, he would not let Kang Zai down.
Seeing Morrow respond so simply, Kang Zai first grinned, and then quickly showed a serious expression.
"Moro, if we are discovered——
"Then try not to be discovered as much as possible."
Moro interrupted Kang Zai.
Kang Zai nodded silently.
Obviously he asked Moreau to take the risk together, but on the contrary, he was hesitant.
The night is getting darker.
Several figures quietly left Haozhu City and arrived at the royal tomb a few kilometers away.
"Act as planned."
Kang Zai first looked at the two houses near the royal tomb, and then looked at the only entrance to the royal tomb - the stone palace standing quietly in the night.
Beside the entrance of the palace, some figures can be vaguely seen.
Those figures are the tomb-keepers.
Even if it is late at night, there is someone on duty.
From this point, we can see how much importance the ancient Ganyu Kingdom attached to the royal tombs.
Facing the whistling night wind, Morrow, Kang Zai, and Kurt all took action.
Two houses away near the royal tomb.
Kang Zai came quietly and touched it.
At the same time.
The tombkeeper who was on duty at the entrance of the royal tomb suddenly heard some noisy voices.
"Did you hear that?"
The look in the eyes of one of the tomb guards changed.
The other three tomb-keepers each nodded, hearing the noisy voices mixed in the wind.
You can follow the source of the sound and see only the empty and deserted night.
Don’t talk about people, not even a ghost can be seen.
Normal people will probably get a chill down their spine when encountering this situation.
But the soldiers responsible for guarding the mausoleum showed no fear at all.
"Lean, you stay, the others follow me."
A tombkeeper quickly made arrangements and led the other two people towards the direction of the sound.
They walked for some distance, and the noisy voices became clearer and clearer, but no one could be seen.
"What's going on?"
The leading tomb guard frowned, confused.
They did not notice that among the grass swaying in the wind, there were paper-cut figures of different shapes quietly placed one after another.
Each paper-cut figure whispers different words.
These paper-cut figures were arranged here by Kurt in advance. They were originally used to monitor the target's ability, but now they are functioning as decoys.
As the tomb-keepers gradually approached the paper-cut figures, Kurt walked through the night like a ghost, holding a purple bamboo fan, and knocked them out accurately with a single wave.
At the same time.
Lean, the tombkeeper who stayed at the entrance of the royal tomb, was also knocked unconscious by Moreau who approached quietly.
Morrow did not waste time waiting for Kangzai, quickly passed over the fallen tomb guard, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then walked straight into the palace.
The palace has no gate, and after entering it is the main hall.
Passing through the main hall, Moreau saw a stone staircase leading downward.
He cast Yuan, and suddenly, a layer of transparent thought power with a faint light spread slowly around.
Immediately afterwards, Moreau went down the stairs and soon came to a spacious tomb passage.
There are some stone statues of unknown creatures that look like lions but not lions, and look like tigers but not tigers on both sides of the tomb passage.
Relying on the real-time feedback of "circle", Moreau went all the way in depth.
Although the entire royal tomb was very large, he did not spend much effort to find the tomb where the harp was.
The reason is very simple -
The aura of thoughts of death exuded by that harp is too strong to be ignored.
After arriving at the tomb without any obstruction, Moreau finally saw the jade-white harp with his own eyes.
The music score inlaid on the body of the piano is exuding a dark energy of thought like teeth and claws, and gradually overlaps with the scene in the memory.
"It's a little too smooth."
Moro thought to himself, and with a thought, he put away the "circle" and turned to the ability of "Starlight Condensation".
In an instant, bright light particles spread throughout the tomb, even seeping into the passage outside the tomb.
Although the scope of "Star Convergence" is larger than that of "Circle", it cannot penetrate the building, but it is more suitable for the present.
Maintaining the star state, Moreau stepped forward to the harp.
Time was running out, so he reached out without hesitation to touch the ominous aura of death thoughts.
At the moment he touched it, the thought of death seemed to have become conscious, surged and struggled, losing its previous arrogance, and instead tried its best to stay away from Moreau.
However, all this is in vain, the suction of the annual rings is like a black hole, ruthlessly drawing the thought of death into it.
Morrow quietly observed the process of absorbing the thoughts of death, and saw the energy of the second ring of growth rising rapidly, finally breaking through 90% before stopping.
When the last thoughts of death disappeared, the stained score on the white jade-like harp slowly dissipated, leaving only a blank space.
Morrow retracted his hand and was about to turn around and leave when a wave of energy suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him.
His eyes condensed, he quickly drew out the red jade bird knife, and retreated quickly. At the same time, he put away the "Starlight Condensation" and tightly attached a large amount of thought energy to his body.
At this moment, a silhouette of the third princess Eve with long silver hair appeared in the energy fluctuations, suddenly appearing in this strange way.
Eve calmly glanced at Harp, who was no longer attached to the thought of death, and said calmly: "It's faster than I expected. You are really amazing."
At this moment, it was meaningless to delve into how Eve appeared. All his thoughts were on how to deal with this unexpected situation.
Eve turned her eyes and looked at Moreau, who was on guard with a knife, with a hint of approval in her tone: "But the more amazing person is you."
Moreau remained silent, with cold eyes.
Eve didn't care about his reaction, and said to herself: "From the moment you removed the power of disaster for the people, I was thinking that maybe you had enough ability to solve this unstable factor."
Speaking of this, a smile slowly appeared on Eve's cold face.
“You did not disappoint me.”
"Listen to what you say"
Seeing that Eve was talking so much to herself, Moreau finally spoke, "I solved Harp's afterlife, but did I help you?"
Morrow said expressionlessly, "You can freely use the power of thoughts after death, and you also have some means to transfer the 'cost' to the people you talk about. From this aspect, you have always been the beneficiary,
Now that you have lost this power-"
"You obviously misunderstood one thing."
Eve's tone was always calm: "Just like human beings will always need stories, so is vocal music, so unless humans no longer need it, it will not disappear."
Moreau frowned slightly.
Eve suddenly took out a dark card.
The card is dotted with silvery-white light spots, and in the center is an eye surrounded by a square frame.
Morrow was slightly shocked when he saw the card in Eve's hand.
Is that the Eye of Truth card?
Eve held the card between her index and middle fingers and said, "You can rest assured, I won't embarrass you, but this opportunity is rare. I want to try the effect of the so-called 'Dream Maker'."
The next moment.
The places Eve and Moreau were in suddenly changed.
When they came back to their senses, the two of them were already in an indoor martial arts arena.
The card in Eve's hand disappeared and she said: "This is the fantasy space I 'made up', where I can fight to my heart's content without worrying about 'death'. Come, let me see the strength of telekinesis users——"
"Buzz!"
Before Eve finished speaking, Moreau suddenly raised his hand, and the red jade bird knife in his hand shot towards Eve like lightning.
A flash of excitement flashed in Eve's eyes, and she turned sideways in time to avoid the oncoming red jade bird knife.
It's just that she didn't notice that a red jade bird's knife was wrapped with a thought power that was "hidden" and eliminated from existence, which reached directly to Moreau's palm.
She dodged the red jade bird knife and charged straight at Moreau.
But as soon as he took the first step, the vision in his eyes suddenly turned violently.
In the violently shaking vision, Eve saw her headless body, and also saw Moreau's expressionless face.
Oh,
It turns out that I was beheaded.
Hehe, hehe——..——!
She became even more excited.
