People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 210 Changes in Murals

Under the curious gazes of Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, Chen Ziyan and Ding Sitian finalized their next plan in just a few words.

That is to wait until after exploring this underground space, let Wang Kaixuan lead the militia back the same way, while a few of them look for props and explore deeper as a small team.

Regarding this arrangement, Wang Kaixuan wanted to put forward his opinion, but before he could speak, Hu Bayi, who had already expected it, shot him back with his eyes.

From the resolute attitudes of the two men, Hu Bayi had already figured out the problem. Although he still didn't know the cause, it did not prevent him from cooperating from the side.

Wang Kaixuan didn't react before, but after receiving Hu Bayi's look, he immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.

But when things were arranged, he couldn't help it anymore. He leaned close to Chen Ziyan and asked in a low voice: "Master Chen, why don't you take me with you?"

He had no other intention, but simply wanted to join in the fun.

His intuition told him that he would encounter something interesting in his next actions.

"It's not that I don't want to take you with me, it's just that the next place is not suitable for you to go to." Chen Ziyan explained.

Their next action does not need to directly kill the black cockroaches they encounter, as long as they successfully pass through the place where the opponent is entrenched.

What matters is speed.

But if you bring Wang Kaixuan with you, you won't be able to speed up even if you think about it.

With this fat man's current characteristics, those black cockroaches were chasing them risking their lives.

Therefore, based on this consideration, Chen Ziyan did not plan to bring Wang Kaixuan with him.

Although Chen Ziyan didn't say it clearly, Wang Kaixuan already understood what he meant.

There was nothing he could do about it.

So far, none of them can figure out where his strange attraction to black cockroaches comes from.

Now Chen Ziyan and the others plan to go deep into the area where there may be more black cockroaches. He really can't go there together, otherwise it will only hurt others.

"Huh?" At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly let out a light sigh, looking at the strokes above his head in a daze.

It turned out that Hu Bayi thought that Chen Ziyan and the others must have seen clues in the mural that he could not find, so he decided to take a look again.

But just looking at it like this made him see a different scene.

The top of the building is still full of murals, but the content of the murals now is completely different from before.

If what was recorded just now is the origin of the temple, then what is recorded now is the personal show of the nobleman who was awarded the immortal magic.

Chen Ziyan noticed Hu Bayi's abnormality immediately, walked to him and looked up.

When he saw the changed appearance of the mural above, his eyes instantly became a little strange.

He was not surprised by the changes in the content of the mural, but his attention was already attracted by the content recorded on it.

This mural that records the experience of a nobleman can be said to record everything that this nobleman has done here.

It was through the content of this new mural that Chen Ziyan learned something. It turned out that the temple was not really enshrining the god behind the gate, but the noble himself.

The mural clearly records that this nobleman successfully transformed himself into an immortal body after receiving the immortal magic. After that, the nobleman ordered people to build a temple here and claimed to be a god.

The black cockroaches with human faces raised here are the envoys of the nobles.

At the same time, the mural also records the process of sacrifice. Although the principle is not explained, it can be seen that the so-called sacrifice is like the dissolution they saw before.

In the mural, the noble people placed the sacrifices one by one in the open space in front of the temple, and then they seemed to be devoured by invisible entities, and soon the sacrifices disappeared on their own.

At this time, the actions of the two people also attracted the attention of others.

Wang Kaixuan looked up and said in confusion: "This mural seems to look different."

Although he couldn't understand the content recorded inside, he still had no problem with looking at the patterns.

Wang Kaixuan's words instantly attracted the attention of the two women on the other side who were studying the inscriptions on the bronze tripod.

Ding Sitian asked: "Bayi, what did you see?"

She also looked up, but from the angle they were in, the content of the mural had not changed in any way.

Hu Bayi came back to his senses when she called her like that and waved to him: "I don't know what to say. Come and take a look for yourself."

Hearing this, Ding Sitian and Shirley Yang became more and more curious, so they walked over and looked above their heads.

And when they saw it, they were all stunned.

When Wang Kaixuan saw them acting like this, he curiously asked Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, what's going on? Tell me."

Hu Bayi explained to him: "From our current perspective, the content of the mural is different from what we saw before."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to preach: "You should really learn something when you go back, otherwise you will still understand nothing next time."

In fact, they followed Da Jinya and learned some knowledge about interpretation, but Wang Kaixuan always spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, otherwise they could still get a rough idea.

Of course, this is also related to the relatively primitive style of this mural. If it were a modern mural with a clearer narrative, Wang Kaixuan would be able to guess something even if he didn't understand.

When Wang Kaixuan heard Teacher Hu's teaching, he chuckled: "Learn, I will learn when I get back, and I won't stop until I empty out the little gold tooth."

This was Wang Kaixuan's innermost thoughts. He didn't realize it before, but now everyone can see why. Only his eyes darkened, which made him fully realize his shortcomings.

Even if Hu Bayi didn't say anything, he had already made up his mind that after returning to the capital, he would first learn how to read the murals among other things.

"Calling himself a god...this..." Shirley Yang had some difficulty understanding the content of this mural.

She subconsciously looked at Chen Ziyan, trying to get a reasonable answer from him.

After Chen Ziyan felt Shirley Yang's gaze, he pondered for a moment and said: "I claim to be a god, but to be honest, I am still a human being in essence, but I don't rule out that the other party used some crooked means..."

He didn't know how to explain it. He hadn't seen this so-called god with his own eyes, so no one knew what was going on.

But considering that this is a world with a stolen world view, there is no chance that such a thing really exists.

Although I can't say that I am a god, it is very possible that I will live a long time.

In fact, after reading the murals, the first thing Chen Ziyan thought of was King Wannu. He now seriously suspected that the nobleman who built the temple was probably the same person as King Wannu.

If that's the case, then it really wouldn't be a problem for the other party to live for eighteen hundred years.
