Chapter 87 Reed Plain

"This mural seems to record the life of the tomb owner!"

Listening to Mindy's words, Carlyle and Kit also looked attentively.

Murals like this are the best evidence to understand the owner of the tomb. Ancient people liked to use this method to record their wonderful lives.
Although many of them are exaggerated to a certain extent, is what you can’t explain really an exaggeration?
For example, Nuwa's creation of humans out of clay sounds very fantasy, but what if you bring in the supernatural?

Chu Liang, who can simulate a deceitful ghost, can directly deceive reality and create humans without even needing clay. If you think about it, it makes sense for Nuwa to create humans from clay.
Especially in this supernatural world, Chu Liang does not feel that the information on the mural is exaggerated.

In Chu Liang’s opinion, the message on the mural probably tells this story:
In an ancient tribe, a plague suddenly broke out and many people died. At this time, a man with radiant light appeared.

After this man appeared, no more people died in the tribe, and he became the leader of the tribe.

As time went by, the tribe began to grow, and he led his tribe to conquer other tribes, almost unifying the ancient Egypt, and the light on this man became bigger and bigger.

One of the murals shows this man standing high in the sky, with thousands of people bowing down below.

He created a prosperous age. Countless palaces were formed with the wave of his hand, and rain fell from the sky.
But the good times did not last long. A man came here and fought with the owner of the tomb. The outcome is unknown. However, the owner of the tomb became ill and soon made arrangements for his funeral.

The last mural depicts the appearance of a pyramid, which seems to say that the tomb owner was finally buried in the pyramid.
Chu Liang frowned.

Many people in the tribe suddenly died. It was obvious that the ghost was killing people. The owner of the tomb controlled the ghost, and then relied on the ghost to become bigger and stronger. Finally, he encountered a powerful enemy and was seriously injured, and his balance was suspected to be broken.

The mural does not reveal any supernatural powers of the tomb owner. The only thing that can be seen is that the tomb owner holds a pen in his hand every time he appears.
It’s impossible to tell what kind of supernatural being he controlled, but from his experiences along the way, we can make some inferences. The owner of the tomb is also a powerful person on the same level as the Seven Elders.

'Do I still need to enter the tomb? After such a long time, it is impossible for the ghost master to still be alive. Even the aliens cannot live for such a long time. The only ones left behind are fierce ghosts.'

Just when Chu Liang was thinking about it, Kit beside him spoke.

"There doesn't seem to be any information on the master of the tomb controlling the ghost. Is it too dangerous?"

"It doesn't matter, go in, I can resurrect you even if you die."

Kit opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He himself didn't even notice that he was under Chu Liang's supernatural influence. He was no longer himself, just a servant with self-awareness.

"found it!"

Mindy pointed to the pyramid with some excitement and said: "The entrance is just below the murals. There is a gap there, which should be a door."

After hearing this, several people raised their telescopes and looked again. Sure enough, there was a square gap there, which looked like a door.

"Then how are we going to go up? The gold is a bit slippery, and the equipment I brought is not suitable for rock climbing." Carlyle looked through his backpack and felt melancholy.

There was a golden mountain in front of him, but he couldn't move it away, not even the funerary objects inside.
Chu Liang waved his hand, and a lot of rock climbing equipment appeared on the ground. The gloves and shoes had excellent friction.

"I said you all have flexible skills." Chu Liang said.

The liar's supernatural power began to affect the three of them, and subtle changes occurred in the joint tissue in their bodies.
The charlatan's supernatural powers are extremely useful at certain times.

Everyone began to put on equipment and climb the pyramid.

Chu Liang became even more violent, and with the blessing of the supernatural being, he was very strong. At the same time, with the help of the deceiving ghost, he got himself a pair of very strong shoes and gloves.

Every time Chu Liang reached out and landed, he left harsh marks on the golden wall. His hands made fingerprints on the wall, and his feet kicked into the wall, which greatly facilitated the three people following him.

It only took ten minutes to reach the entrance.

One hand was inserted into the gold on the wall to maintain balance, and the other hand was trying to push the door-like thing.

"Click~" When Chu Liang pushed the large block of gold separated from other walls by two or three centimeters, there was a sound like the rotation of mechanical gears.

At the same time, the gold cube no longer needed Chu Liang to push it, and started to move on its own.

A whole block of gold slowly sunk inward, and soon a deep corridor appeared.

Chu Liang walked in first, followed closely by the others.

As a professional expedition team, Carlyle handed everyone a fluorescent stick to provide lighting.

After marching like this for more than ten minutes, Kit spoke again with an uneasy mood.

"Here. Why does the temperature here feel so normal? It's not cold at all."

Hearing this, Chu Liang also said: "Isn't this normal?"

"The owner of the tomb specially built such a pure gold pyramid. Apart from being a symbol of status, it can only be used to restrict himself."

After a pause, Chu Liang continued: "I even have a guess."

"In this pyramid, apart from the supernatural beings controlled by the owner of the tomb, there will be no other ghosts!"

Kit was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Why do you say that?"

Chu Liang knocked on the solid gold wall and explained.

"Gold isolates supernatural beings. In addition to preventing the supernatural beings inside from leaking out, it also has the effect of preventing the supernatural beings from outside from invading!"

Chu Liang suddenly remembered the black line connecting the main hall before.

This pyramid is not sealed, and it is probably connected here. However, Chu Liang cannot open the ghost realm now and cannot confirm his conjecture.

Kit frowned and thought for a while and said: "You mean that although the owner of the tomb designed this supernatural place, he is also worried that it will get out of control. The function of the pyramid is to ensure that if the supernatural place gets out of control, it will not affect him. ?”

Chu Liang nodded, shook his head, and had no choice to continue.

If the black line you saw before is connected here, it means that there is no separation between the supernatural beings inside and the outside world.
But Chu Liang also felt that the purpose of building such a large pure gold pyramid could not be as simple as showing one's status.

After all, the pyramid is in a supernatural place. Who can build a pure gold pyramid here to show it?

"There are words here!" Carlyle said, holding up a glow stick.

Chu Liang squinted his eyes. This is a very ancient writing. The translated words are:

【Reed Plains】

"Mindy, what does this mean?" Carlyle asked Mindy who was standing aside.

Mindy opened her mouth and hesitated several times before speaking slowly.

"Translated, it means the Field of Reeds. In ancient Egyptian legends, people will be resurrected in the Field of Reeds after death. It is a place that can be reached after going through various tests in the underworld, similar to heaven."

"But it is said that resurrection requires keeping the body intact and not being destroyed. This is why the ancient Egyptians used mummies to preserve their bodies."
