The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters - #197 - Chapter 197 The Winged One
Yu Ke told Ye Yingtong as concisely as possible the ins and outs of obtaining the Qingming Mask.
By the way, he mentioned that he wanted to know more about Qingming Mask and asked Ye Yingtong if he had seen similar information.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
Yu Ke, who was sitting on a stake in the forest, didn’t know what was going on on the other side.
Ye Yingtong, who had just returned to the camp with the expedition team, didn’t even have time to put down her backpack. She turned around and ran straight to the outskirts of the camp, avoiding other members of the expedition team, and found a hiding place, panting.
Leaning against the trees next to her, Ye Yingtong clutched her phone tightly, her left eye pupil glowing red.
In just a few seconds, the whole person’s aura changed, and even part of the black hair on his head turned red.
“What are you doing? Go back quickly. The team members are not far away. Do you want them to know and put the mask back!”
Ye Yingtong felt the change in another soul in her body and said in a low voice,
“Is there something wrong with the mask in the photo? Why are you so excited? What, is your enemy inside?”
Ye Yingtong was unable to react to the angry shouts in his mind. He frowned and calmed down for a while before sending a message to Yu Ke, saying that the expedition leader had asked him to go there for something and he had just returned.
“The ghost in Qingming’s mask has disappeared. If you know any relevant information, remember to tell me.”
Another message from Yu Ke was pushed on the screen.
“Do you know the information about this mask?”
Ye Yingtong only knew the Red Ghost Mask, so she could only turn to another soul for help, and the latter obviously knew the Qingming Mask particularly well.
So Ye Yingtong listened to what she said in his mind while sending a message to Yu Ke.
The two masks of Qing Ming and Chi Gui were once “immortal weapons” cast by a certain dynasty in ancient times.
Of course, the “immortal weapon” here is actually one of the ancient names for supernatural objects, not the magic weapon of the immortal.
They were originally cast for the same purpose, which was to be buried with them!
Whether it is Qing Ming or Red Ghost, their role is to preserve the souls of the dead so that they can remain in the world for a long time and achieve resurrection in some way in the future.
To put it bluntly, this is how ancient people sought immortality.
However, history has proved that there has never been an ever-lasting dynasty in this world, let alone a mausoleum that lasts forever.
These two masks came to light during a tomb robbing activity hundreds of years ago, and no one knows what happened next.
“Didn’t you say that you are the original owner? You have always been in the mask. You really don’t know what happened?”
After typing this point, Ye Yingtong stopped and asked the Chi Mei in her body in surprise.
‘You mean to let me tell you everything that has happened in the past few hundred years, and then you tell Yu Ke. Do you feel that you have suddenly become a prophet and can foresee those little-known secrets? ’
Chi Mei’s reply made Ye Yingtong scratch her cheek in embarrassment. With her identity and social connections, it was the limit of the information she could find. Saying more would only arouse suspicion.
In fact, Yu Ke didn’t know the history of this world at all, and he had no doubts about Ye Yingtong’s explanation.
After learning about the origin of the Qingming Mask, he took a photo of the current Qingming Mask and sent it to Ye Yingtong, explaining the current condition of the mask and asking her to help find information about the ghosts that once resided in the mask.
The crystallization of fear has been absorbed by the Qingming Mask. Yu Ke naturally wants to complete the mask again and bring out its full capabilities. Otherwise, the gift of Meng Tapir would be useless in this mask.
Not only Ye Yingtong, but Yu Ke will also ask the Disaster Prevention Bureau to help find information in this regard.
After seeing the message, Chi Mei urged Ye Yingtong to call Yu Ke, saying that she wanted to see the Qingming Mask with her own eyes, but Ye Yingtong decisively refused.
What a joke!
Not to mention that her inspection mission is not over yet, can other people know about the existence of Red Ghost Face?
Ignoring Chi Mei who was chattering in her mind, Ye Yingtong quickly changed the topic.
She now also has very important information to tell Yu Ke.
Even if there were no photos sent by Yu Ke, she would be ready to send a message to the latter immediately after leaving the ruins.
Before participating in the investigation of the mountain ruins, Ye Yingtong had received photos of murals in the temple and underground palace from Yu Ke, and accepted Yu Ke’s commission and agreed to explore this information.
What Ye Yingtong didn’t expect was that relevant clues were indeed found during this inspection mission.
Upon hearing the clues about the bronze tripod, Yu Ke no longer asked about Qingming’s mask, but instead asked about Ye Yingtong’s discovery.
Previously, under the guidance of Fang Xuanhe, he entered the ruins that sealed the Sea of Blood in the Corpse Mountain. Through the exploration of the forest spirit, Yu Ke realized that the underground palace of the temple was where the bronze tripod was cast, and the ruins in the mountains were the areas where it truly suppressed.
In other words, if you want to find the bronze tripod, you can only explore the ruins in the mountains. This is the main reason why the Beijing-Hangzhou city government has been sending large numbers of expedition teams to the mountains in recent times.
They may not know the existence of the Bronze Cauldron, but they know that some of the secrets of Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood are very likely to appear in other ruins. Maybe they can obtain more comprehensive information through mutual verification, and then find a solution to this problem. crisis approach.
Yu Ke waited for a while and saw several photos being pushed on the screen.
Normally, the photos taken during these inspection operations should not be shared externally. In the past, you might have had to worry about it, but now Yu Ke doesn’t need to think too much, just look at it. If anyone is dissatisfied, I’m afraid they have to go. Just ask Tianshi Fang to reason!
With a drink in his hand, Yu Ke looked through the photos sent by Ye Yingtong, the expression on his face changed from relaxed to solemn.
The content in the first few photos is not complicated.
Most of them are shots of a statue surrounded by stone pillars from various angles.
At first glance, it had nothing to do with the bronze tripod, but Yu Ke quickly noticed that this statue was different from the bronze statues he had seen inside the ruins that sealed the corpse mountain and sea of blood.
This is a stone statue with many cracks on its surface.
Its form does not look like a human at all, but a bird-man with a back and two wings and a strange face!
Yu Ke clearly remembered that the murals in the temple and the underground palace recorded that it was the aliens who brought the method of suppressing the beast tide to mankind, and he also saw similar existences in the ancient phantoms he saw through the forest spirits when he first entered the temple and the underground palace. They He even took on the finishing work of making the bronze tripod, which shows his aloof status.
That’s the crux of the matter!
As Ye Yingtong sent the subsequent photos, Yu Ke was surprised to find that not only was there no altar to show respect around the birdman statue, but the stone pillars surrounding it were even hung with broken bronze chains. , obviously not friendly.
