79: Chapter 79: Entering the Tomb to Find Grandpa's Body!
The Tomb of King Guigui is located in the heart of the Taklamakan Desert. Due to being buried by wind and sand, there are no longer any traces of excavation here.
From the surface, it looks like a desolate Gobi desert.
"Your grandfather's burial place is ten meters underground right ahead." Old Taoist Xu Que stroked his beard, his eyes fixed on a patch of desert not far away. He was quite confident in his Divination Technique.
It was impossible to miscalculate such a thing.
Chu Xiao also activated his X-ray Vision to look underground. Through countless grains of sand and giant rocks, he indeed saw a massive tomb sealed beneath the earth, as well as his grandfather's corpse in the center of the burial chamber.
"Grandpa..."
Chu Xiao felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Fortunately, he had the System!
Fortunately, he had drawn the [Sacrificial Resurrection Technique]!
Otherwise, he could only watch helplessly as his grandfather truly turned into a handful of yellow earth.
Old Taoist Xu Que pinched his fingers to calculate again, quickly walked about a few dozen steps forward, then squatted down and began digging in the sandy ground.
It had to be said, this old Taoist's digging skills were impressive; in the blink of an eye, he had dug out a large pit.
"Found it, I've found the tomb entrance!"
Old Taoist Xu Que waved his hand.
"Master, thanks to you, otherwise I really wouldn't have known how to find Grandpa's remains!" Chu Xiao said gratefully.
Old Taoist Xu Que smiled and said, "Don't say such polite words! Even if you hadn't come looking, I would have come here personally! Sigh! After all, we were confidants; I couldn't just watch his remains be left out here in the middle of nowhere!"
"But then again, the location of this tomb is quite good. It hides wind and Qi Gathering; it can be called a Feng Shui treasure spot for burial."
Hearing this.
Chu Xiao smiled, held out the Stun Watch, and asked, "Master, what do you think of this watch I bought last year?"
He had only said half of what he intended.
As if he had long expected it, Old Taoist Xu Que quickly squatted down, hiding in the pit and shouting, "Stinky brat, are you going to use that trick again! I'm your Master, is it appropriate for you to treat me like this?"
"Uh!..." Chu Xiao was speechless for a moment.
"I know what you want to do. Isn't it just to resurrect your grandfather? There's no need to hide such a thing from your Master!"
Old Taoist Xu Que's voice came from the pit. His tone was somewhat excited; clearly, he also wanted to witness the legendary Sacrificial Resurrection Technique with his own eyes.
Holy crap?
Is this old Taoist that amazing?
He even calculated that I'm going to resurrect Grandpa?
Simply Heaven-Defying!
Chu Xiao was very surprised. After thinking for a bit, he put the watch away and asked, "Master, did you figure all this out through your Divination Technique?"
Old Taoist Xu Que squatted in the sand pit and performed another divination for himself. Learning there was no problem, he slowly stood up and said with a smile:
"I can't say it was all calculated! You, kid, are a variable. I can't calculate what you're going to do, and I can't see through your fate at all! But I can deduce some secrets by calculating for myself, your grandfather, and others! For example, your grandfather Chu Jianghe was originally fated to die, but it somehow turned into a situation of surviving a narrow escape! Thinking it over, besides you having this kind of ability, I can't think of a second person!"
"As for what happened last night, I indeed don't remember it, but after performing a divination, my fainting was all because of you, kid!!"
"If I'm not mistaken, there's something wrong with that watch you bought last year, right?"
The old Taoist spoke extremely fast, rattling off a long string of words.
His logic was exceptionally clear.
Chu Xiao was a bit caught between laughter and tears. After thinking it over seriously, he nodded and said, "Alright, then I won't hide it from you, Master! I indeed intend to resurrect Grandpa!"
Receiving a positive answer, Old Taoist Xu Que couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. He asked with a shocked face, "How are you going to resurrect your grandfather? Your Chu Family's Immortality Technique is already incredibly Heaven-Defying! Have you mastered some secret method like a Resurrection Technique?"
"You'll find out in a moment. Let's enter the tomb now!" Chu Xiao leaped into the sand pit, ducked his body, and crawled into the tomb passage. Both sides were lined with man-made triangular supports, which effectively prevented the sand passage from collapsing.
After walking for about ten minutes.
The space suddenly opened up, and an ancient tomb complex came into view.
Hiss~ hiss~ hiss~
In the originally quiet tomb, countless hissing sounds suddenly rang out.
"Snakes?"
Chu Xiao rolled his eyes.
He saw that everywhere in the tomb, there were dense clusters of countless Black Strange Snakes. They all raised their heads, their dark, hollow eyes staring at Chu Xiao and Xu Que who had broken into the tomb.
Old Taoist Xu Que frowned and said, "There's something wrong with these snakes. They seem to have all mutated! It should be related to the Spiritual Qi Recovery! Disciple, let's be careful... don't be..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Chu Xiao leap, his whole body disappearing from the spot. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on an open space a hundred meters away.
What amazing martial arts!
"You brat!" Old Taoist Xu Que didn't dare to curse out loud and could only honestly run after him.
Strange to say, those Black Strange Snakes would normally attack people upon seeing them, but they let Chu Xiao and Old Taoist Xu Que enter without any reaction.
Just kidding.
Animals are the most spiritual and have strong sensing abilities. In their vision, Chu Xiao's entire body emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, scaring them stiff.
The journey was peaceful. Occasionally, they encountered a few traps that hadn't been destroyed.
No big deal.
Soon, Chu Xiao arrived at the main chamber of the Tomb of King Guigui and saw his grandfather's already cold corpse.
The corpse was still very fresh...
This was due to the environment. The Taklamakan Desert was naturally dry and lacked moisture, and being underground, the temperature was cool.
There were no signs of decay at all.
"Grandpa!" Chu Xiao sighed inwardly, then began to check the old man's body. Finding that he wasn't missing any parts, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Sacrificial Resurrection Technique is best performed when the corpse is intact.
Out of habit, Old Taoist Xu Que lit three sticks of incense in the northeast corner of the burial chamber, then chose a clean spot, pulled out a flask of old wine, and prepared to watch the show.
He wanted to see how Chu Xiao would resurrect a dead person.
"Master, are you sure you don't want to step away for a bit?"
Chu Xiao turned his head and asked.
Old Taoist Xu Que tilted his head back to take a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Step away my ass! Whatever skills you have, hurry up and use them! Let your Master broaden his horizons! Let's see what this legendary Resurrection Technique actually looks like!"
Resurrection Technique!
A divine technique that brings even the dead back to life!
Such a secret technique was unheard of. If it were true, it would be too Heaven-Defying!
Old Taoist Xu Que couldn't help but feel exceptionally excited.
