After swimming out of the water, Jiang Ning let out a long sigh, and the previous chest tightness feeling was relieved a lot.

Jiang Ning returned to the pond and sat down to recover his strength. The donkey was still waiting for him there.

After wiping the water stains off his face, Jiang Ning took out the food from his bag and ate while recovering his strength, thinking about the location he had just thought of.

After a while, Jiang Ning jumped into the pool again. After getting the direction, he quickly swam to the bottom of the pool. This time he was prepared and held his breath for a long time.

Coming back to the place he had just seen, Jiang Ning used his sword without hesitation to knock down all the water plants there, and a tombstone soon appeared in front of him.

Tomb of the living dead.

The four words on the tombstone appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

Chapter 30: Female Corpse

Chapter 30: Female Corpse

Jiang Ning’s eyes lit up with joy, it was indeed here.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning directly looked for the entrance mechanism around the tombstone.

After a while.

Got nothing.

During this period, the oxygen level in Jiangning is almost running out.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, and had no choice but to stop swimming temporarily and swim back to the shore.

After resting for a while, Jiang Ning jumped into the pool again and continued to explore the tombstone. When the oxygen was almost exhausted, he returned to the shore and repeated this process.

Five days later.

Jiang Ning, who had been stranded here for five days, finally found the mechanism of the tombstone.

At the bottom of the pool, less than two meters away from the tombstone, Jiang Ning felt a ring four inches below the bottom of the pool.

Jiang Ning showed a hint of joy on his face.

However, he did not pull the ring immediately. Instead, he returned to the shore to take a breath and recover his strength, then swam down again and pulled the ring.

The tombstone, which had been buried at the bottom of the pond for a long time without any movement, began to make sounds, then shook a little, moved to the side, revealing a hole.

After the cave entrance appeared, a whirlpool appeared above it. Jiang Ning knew that the water from the pool was flowing into it. Without hesitation, he swam towards the cave entrance immediately.

After entering the cave, Jiang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he was standing in a spacious place, and the pool of water at the cave entrance above was rushing into the cave.

Jiang Ning glanced around. His night vision was good, and although it was dark all around, he still found a similar ring on a stone wall. He walked forward and pulled it, and there was a sound of rotation from above, and the tombstone returned to its original position.

Only then did Jiang Ning take out a piece of cloth from his arms. The cloth contained a tinderbox. The bag was soaked, but the tinderbox inside was dry.

Only after lighting the tinder did Jiang Ning have time to look around. Although the area was spacious, it was surrounded by stone walls on three sides and there was only one passage, and no one knew where it led to.

Although this place is underground at the bottom of the pool, there is oxygen for Jiang Ning to breathe, so that he will not suffocate to death. I just don’t know where the ventilation vent here is.

Jiang Ning looked around with a smile on his face, excitement in his eyes.

Although the Xiantian Gong has not been found yet, judging from the current situation, there should be no one left in the Tomb Sect, which is a good thing for him.

After adjusting his breathing a little, Jiang Ning walked along the passage.

The passage was not narrow, about three meters high and two meters wide. Jiang Ning walked into the passage. After about ten minutes, a tomb door appeared in front of him.

The tomb has two doors, like the doors of some large mansions.

Jiang Ning put his hand on the tomb door and pushed it hard. It was pushed open without any resistance.

A spacious tomb chamber appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

The tomb chamber was very simple, with nothing in it except seven doors. In front of Jiang Ning there was a stone tablet with the words “Quanzhen Sect and dogs are not allowed to enter” engraved on it.

I am from the Huashan Sect, not the Quanzhen Sect.

Jiang Ning thought so in his heart.

He pushed open one of the tomb doors and found that it was also a passage. He didn’t know where it led to. He randomly pushed open the other six tomb doors. Behind the remaining three were also passages, but another three were also tomb doors, but they were the kind that were sealed. From a structural point of view, the tomb doors fell from above, and unless there was some mechanism, they could not be opened at all.

Jiang Ning didn’t see any mechanism, and the surroundings were all flat. He just took a look and then went to the other four tomb doors with passages to explore those four places.

Jiang Ning picked a passage at random and walked in. After walking for a minute, he reached the bottom, which was also a tomb chamber.

The tomb chamber contained a stone table, stone benches, and a wooden dressing table, but they were all covered in dust.

After finding nothing here, Jiang Ning explored the other three tomb entrances.

At the end of the three tomb door passages, there are two tomb chambers. In one of the tomb chambers, there are some rice, vegetables, and food and utensils such as pots and pans, but all these foods are moldy and rotten. In the other tomb chamber, there is nothing except a stone bed. It seems that it is a place for practicing martial arts.

Jiang Ning is now at the entrance of the third tomb door. In front of him is also a tomb chamber. However, compared with the previous three tomb chambers, which are old but have a hint of life, this tomb chamber only has a coffin in the center and nothing else.

This looks more like a cemetery.

Jiang Ning felt a chill before he even entered the tomb.

The coldness came from the coffin.

Jiang Ning approached the coffin and touched it, and felt a bone-chilling coldness return to him.

It turns out that this is a coffin made of ice.

I don’t know what kind of ice this ice coffin is made of, but it hasn’t melted after all these years. It’s obviously a treasure.

“excuse me.”

After Jiang Ning said this, he came to the edge of the coffin and started pushing it.

This piece of ice material that had never been opened since it was closed was pushed open by Jiang Ning.

A corpse lay quietly in the ice coffin.

With the faint light of the tinder, Jiang Ning discovered that it was a female corpse.

The female corpse was extremely beautiful, wearing a bright red dress, with her hands folded on her abdomen. She lay quietly in the ice coffin as if she was asleep, but her skin was pale, and there was even a layer of ice beads on her eyelashes, all indicating that she was dead.

The expression on the female corpse’s face was somewhat sad. Even though her eyes were closed and there was no breath, one could still feel that she was sad. I wonder what experiences she had in her life that made her so sad before her death.

Jiang Ning looked at the space in the ice coffin and found that the female corpse was holding a scroll in her hand. There was an oval object the size of a palm next to her feet. He didn’t know what it was.

When Jiang Ning moved the tinder closer, he discovered that it was a turtle shell.

Jiang Ning frowned and took out the scroll in the female corpse’s hand and the tortoise shell in the corner of the ice coffin.

The first thing he looked at was the scroll.

The female corpse was buried in the headquarters of the Ancient Tomb Sect. She must have been a member of the Ancient Tomb Sect. She was holding the scroll in her hand even when she died. It must be a very important thing, perhaps a martial arts secret book.

However, when Jiang Ning spread out the scroll, he found that it was not a martial arts secret book, but a portrait of a man.

The man in the portrait is handsome and vivacious, and even though it is just a portrait one can still feel his immortal air, which shows that the painter has very high painting skills.

In the corner of this portrait are written the three words “Wang Chongyang”.

Seeing these three words, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but look back at the female corpse in the ice coffin.

Lin Chaoying…

It turns out that she is the founder of the Ancient Tomb School.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning shook his head, closed the scroll in his hand, and then looked at the tortoise shell in his hand.

The turtle shell is not big and doesn’t look special, but when Jiang Ning touched it, he felt dense scratches on it.

Jiang Ning took the tortoise shell and looked at it carefully, and found that it was covered with small words. Due to the dim light, he could not see clearly what the words said. He could only see three slightly larger words on the edge of the tortoise shell.

“Xiantian Gong.”

Chapter 31: Success

When Jiang Ning saw these three words, his heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that he had read them wrong, so he read them again and again, and confirmed that these three words were what he knew.

“Ha ha ha ha.”

Jiang Ning was delighted, and an indescribable excitement spread in his heart.

Perhaps it was the spirits of the ancestors of the Huashan Sect in heaven, or perhaps it was the spirit of Wang Chongyang in heaven. Although Jiang Ning’s search was not very difficult, he still found it as he wished.

He was so happy that he couldn’t help but laugh.

But Jiang Ning still restrained himself at this moment.

Suppressing his inner joy, Jiang Ning looked at Lin Chaoying in the ice coffin.

This is also a poor man.

Thinking about the love, hatred and vengeance between Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang in his mind, Jiang Ning closed the scroll in his hand again, then put it back into the hands of the corpse, and then closed the ice coffin.

Looking at the ice coffin, Jiang Ning paused for a while, then knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times in front of it without saying anything. He then stood up and left the tomb.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved and he plans to leave.

But since he was already here, he still searched several other tombs to see if he could find any of the Ancient Tomb School’s skills.

【Hate to talk about / what is the meaning of the word? ㈨ ④ 8З 24○ ㈨②】

With this idea in mind, Jiang Ning went to the three tomb doors without passages again and observed them carefully. He found that they still could not be opened. Even when he chopped them with his sword, there was no shaking at all and no trace was left. Jiang Ning had to give up.

Then he went to the other three tombs and looked again and searched them carefully. In fact, there was nothing there except a bell tied with gold silk in the drawer of the wooden dressing table.

After confirming that nothing was left out, Jiang Ning went back the same way he came. At this time, his fire starter was almost used up.

Returning to the cave where he jumped in, Jiang Ning took a deep breath and then pulled the ring on the stone wall. There was a shaking sound from above and the entrance was opened again. While the water rushing in was not fast, Jiang Ning dived upwards and returned to the bottom of the pool.

He groped for the circular mechanism at the bottom of the pool, closed the tombstone, and then swam towards the shore.

“call!”

Jiang Ning swam to the surface and took a long breath, holding a piece of turtle shell tightly in his hand. Looking at the turtle shell he brought out from the ancient tomb, a strong sense of joy appeared on Jiang Ning’s face.

Maodou was still waiting for him by the pond.

Jiang Ning swam towards the shore.

After getting ashore, Jiang Ning didn’t even have time to change his wet clothes. He just wiped the water stains off his face and looked at the turtle shell in his hand with a little excitement.

It was not obvious in the tomb before, and only after it came under the sun could Jiang Ning see the small words on the turtle shell clearly.
