"I see." Lin Feng nodded, finally understanding. This so-called underground treasure house is a large underground tomb.

He inserted three sticks of incense in front of the stone tablet, lit them, and the curls of incense gradually filled the air. This was the first time in many years that someone came to the catacombs to worship in person. The usual worship services were in

Performed in temples above ground.

Lin Feng prostrated on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

The deceased were the most important. Although he did not know them, these people were people from ancient times. In terms of generation, they were ancestors from who knows how many generations ago. After kowtowing to them, Lin Feng felt at ease.

After kowtowing, he stood up and planned to leave. When he turned around, he was almost startled!

A person was standing not far in front of him!

That is, when Lin Feng was kowtowing just now, he didn't know when he came here!

Someone was coming from behind, but Lin Feng didn't even notice it, which made him nervous. If this person sneaked up on him, his life would be over...

Fortunately, this man didn't do that. He just stood there quietly, waiting for Lin Feng to turn around.

"Who are you?" he asked.

This is a person with an ordinary appearance, the kind of person who would be quickly overwhelmed by the crowd when standing on the street. He has no characteristics at all. His clothes are different from those of the Gulai people, and are similar to those in the heart of Canlan Continent.

.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked.

"I am the cemetery caretaker." The man's tone was also lifeless and had no sense of rhythm. It was like a mechanical voice, cold and cold.

Only then did Lin Feng notice that the man in front of him had no breath at all. No wonder he couldn't even detect it when he got close to his back, because he was not a living person at all! No, to be precise, he was not a person at all!

In fact, this is a puppet. A dummy made using a special manufacturing technique.

After Lin Feng was surprised at the beginning, he also discovered this, and he felt a lot more at ease. He was just a puppet guarding the cemetery, so there was no need to make a fuss. It would be scary if a living person really came here.

Lin Feng replied: "I am just a visitor. When I came here I saw so many tombs, so I paid my respects."

"Why did the visitor come here?" the puppet asked. His tone was very flat, and you couldn't tell what his emotions were. Maybe he didn't have much emotion at all. However, before Lin Feng could answer, the puppet asked again.

He nodded and said: "Well, since you are a visitor and you have worshiped these people, according to the rules, I will also give you a gift in return. Please come with me."

Return gift? Lin Feng was surprised again, he actually got some benefits?

He followed the puppet and advanced for a while, and unexpectedly saw a small house. This small house was made of stone and looked very ordinary, but in this vast cemetery, this small house seemed particularly awkward.

"Wait here." After the puppet finished speaking, he entered the small room alone.

He came out not long after, holding a small box in his hand, handed it over and said: "This is a return gift for you. On behalf of these people, I thank you for your worship."

Lin Feng was a little amused when he heard the puppet say such words in a serious manner. He didn't pay much attention to the so-called return gift. If it was just something that could be given after worshiping, although it was of some value, it probably wouldn't be much better.

Where to go? But this is finally an unexpected gain, better than nothing, Lin Feng is still a little happy.

"Thank you very much." Lin Feng took the small box, thanked the puppet again, and turned to leave.

The puppet just watched him leave quietly without making any more noise.

Lin Feng returned to the road in the middle of the cemetery, and the surrounding environment became the same again. It was still an endless flat ground with nothing. The tombs were all hidden and could not be seen. There were no people nearby, Qi Jin and

Chu Yan had long since disappeared without knowing where he had gone.

Out of curiosity, he opened the small box.

There is just a bead inside, half an inch in diameter, milky white, and crystal clear. It looks like an ordinary big pearl, but there is nothing special about it. There is also a small note in the small box. I don’t know.

After many years, this little piece of paper has turned yellow and discolored.

Lin Feng took out the small piece of paper and looked at it. The handwriting on it was blurred, but he could still make it out.

"If you want to enter the last level of the tomb, you must hold this bead so that you will not be in danger. Don't lose it, remember!"

These words directly call this place "the tomb". There is no doubt that this so-called treasure house is an underground tomb! Emperor Kangning built it and regarded it as a treasure and a tomb at the same time. Those treasures are also

Burial objects.

"So, I'm here to rob the tomb?" Lin Feng said to himself.

The feeling of "grave robbing" made him feel a little weird...

But he was also a little surprised. This little note clearly reminded that there might be something bad on the last floor of the tomb, and this bead could just dispel that kind of thing. It was also because Lin Feng was on the fourth floor just now.

After some worship, he got such a bead. If he directly bypassed the cemetery and entered the fifth floor, he would not get this bead.

It can be seen that Holy Emperor Kangning had already made careful arrangements when he designed this underground tomb.

I'm afraid that even if someone can get the treasure map, defeat the temple guards and enter the tomb, and then break the formations on the first few levels, they can only get relatively ordinary treasures. If you want to take away the things on this last level, you should

It's very difficult.

This also shows that the things on the last layer must be very valuable.

Lin Feng no longer hesitated and ran forward at a faster speed. An oval-shaped entrance and exit appeared in the distance, just like the entrances and exits of many formations. It had faint ripples and flowing light.

After jumping into this entrance and exit, Lin Feng arrived at the fifth floor of the catacombs.

This is a hilly area, just like the hills of Gurai Island, it is also very gentle with very small slope. Some low shrubs grow lushly on the hills.

Lin Feng intuitively believed that this was probably a cemetery, so he did not continue moving forward, but walked toward the hills on both sides. Sure enough, as he moved forward, the illusion gradually receded. Originally, there were only some shrubs on the hills, and there were no

Graves. When the illusion faded, the graves were revealed. This area looked like a hilly area, but it was also an underground cemetery.

Like last time, Lin Feng found a stone tablet on the cemetery.

This time the stone tablet introduces some conditions of the cemetery, which is similar to the fourth floor.

Lin Feng still burned three sticks of incense in front of the stone tablet, and then paid homage.

There were slight footsteps behind him. Lin Feng looked back and saw another expressionless person walking over. He knew that this should be the cemetery guard puppet again, so he ignored the puppet and followed the instructions first.

Etiquette, complete the worship.

After finishing, Lin Feng stood up and turned to face the puppet.

"Excuse me, guest, who are you?" the puppet asked coldly and mechanically.

"I'm just a passing visitor, here to pay homage to the deceased." Lin Feng replied calmly.

The puppet said: "Since you are here to worship, I have a gift in return for you. You can come with me."

"Haha, no need, I've already taken one." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"It's better to come with me." The puppet insisted.

"Okay then." Lin Feng knew that for the puppets, this might be their rules. Their master, the Holy Emperor Kangning who built this tomb, had stipulated for them what to do. Puppets without independent thinking of their own

, will only be carried out in accordance with the owner's regulations.

The puppet took Lin Feng to a small room and handed him a box.

The thing in this box is not the beads like before, but a jade tablet. There is also a note in the box. The note says: "With this jade tablet, you can enter and exit anywhere in the underground tomb."

.If it is blocked by a ban, you can use this jade token to unlock it. However, don’t enter the last level easily, remember.”

Only then did Lin Feng realize that beads and jade tablets had different functions. Jade tablets were used to break restrictions and were equivalent to the key to the underground tomb; beads were used exclusively to enter the last level and were used to exorcise evil spirits or poisons.

With both of these in hand, it will be much safer to operate in this catacombs.

Kangning Saint Emperor Gu Fan set up these things to test whether the people who came after him had enough respect for the deceased in this tomb. If they come to the fourth and fifth floors to worship, they can get these two things. If not

You can't get it by worshiping.

Lin Feng had already wasted a lot of time on the fourth and fifth floors.

After the worship was completed, he went straight to the sixth floor. Because there were not many special dangers on the fourth and fifth floors, it was not difficult to pass. He estimated that Qi Jin and Chu Yan were already on the sixth floor.

When Lin Feng came to the sixth floor, he found that it was different from the previous floors. There was no illusion here, but a real basement. It was dug directly from the ground and used its own rock layer as the wall.

Then they were artificially separated in some places to create passages.

These passages were about two meters wide and very long and winding. Lin Feng had only walked a short distance before a fork in the road appeared.

There is no doubt that this place is a maze.

According to the prompts, there are also treasures on the sixth floor. Different from the way to find them with stone slabs on the third floor, the treasures on the sixth floor are hidden in the maze. The route map given by Gu Qingfeng also has a route through this maze.

, as long as you follow the route, you can avoid the dangers in the maze and reach the passages on the sixth and seventh floors.

Following the route map, Lin Feng moved forward carefully and slowly in the maze.
