Yang Xueli, who was very careful, realized that the murals were not destroyed, but covered by the feces of desert army ants. It looked like they were destroyed.
After cleaning up, there were a total of eight relatively complete murals. Through these murals, one could roughly guess the owner of the tomb and some other things.
Yang Xueli led Zhang Lei to take a look. After reading it, she said excitedly,"The murals here have a lot to do with our target, the Ancient City of Jingjue and the Queen of Jingjue.”
Zhang Lei nodded. He had already guessed it when he saw the murals. After all, he had seen the original work.
In the original novel, Queen Jingjue was veiled. She had an excellent figure and a pair of strange demonic eyes. There was such an image of the queen in the murals here. Who else could it be but Queen Jingjue?
The first three of the eight murals explained that the owner of the tomb was the king of the Yomi Kingdom. At that time, the Yomi Kingdom was a vassal state of the Jingjue Kingdom and produced a lot of precious stones. Every year, the Jingjue Kingdom had to enter the palace with a lot of livestock and precious stones. The king of the Yomi Kingdom was dissatisfied and vigorously developed his armaments to prepare for a rebellion.
The fourth painting was about the defeat of the Yomi Kingdom. The king and three princes knelt in front of the Queen of Jingjue. However, the details were that the Queen of Jingjue's demonic eyes were emitting a bewitching red light, and the bodies of the two older princes beside the king were a little illusory.
"Obviously, the meaning of this painting is that the king's two sons were killed by the Queen of Jingjue's demon eyes.”Zhang Lei could guess the meaning of the painting at a glance.
He said it casually because he had read the original novel and understood the Queen of Jingjue's demonic eyes.
But Yang Xueli did not know about Zhang Lei's situation!
When she heard Zhang Lei's words, she looked at him in surprise and asked in disbelief,"Do you also study the culture of the ancient Western Regions?”
"Of course. I'm Professor Chen's student.”Zhang Lei said matter-of-factly. The identity of Professor Chen's student could cover up some things.
"Come on, do you think I don't know? You became a monk halfway through and only became a disciple of Professor Chen three months ago.”Yang Xueli had an expression that said," You can't fool me."
Zhang Lei scoffed and said righteously,"What's so strange about that? I've liked the culture of the Western Regions since I was young and have studied it in the past. It's precisely because of this that I took Professor Chen as my master.”
"Alright, you pass."
Yang Xueli didn't continue to dwell on this question. She turned around and pointed at the fifth mural and asked,""Then tell me, what does this painting mean?”
Zhang Lei smiled faintly. This Yang chick actually wanted to test me.
"I won't explain it one by one. I'll just connect the rest.”
"Alright, go ahead." Yang Xueli nodded.
The last five murals showed that the King of Yuomi and his youngest son were not dead. He knew that this was the Queen's punishment and also to show off her power. However, he was not only unconvinced, but also vowed to take revenge. Therefore, the king sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty and invited a capable person from the Han Dynasty.
This capable person guided the king to build this small city in this place, and built this Sunburn Bureau under the city. He also found desert army ants, bat flowers, cynomorium, and death worms to act as demons and monsters.
The king was eager to take revenge, so he passed the throne to his young son. He himself went to the bronze coffin alive. He wanted to transform into a powerful Hanba and seek revenge from Queen Jingjue.
This was what the eight murals wanted to express.
Yang Xueli quietly listened to Zhang Lei's introduction, nodding in agreement from time to time.
"I didn't expect you to know about the Sunburn Bureau. Is there anything else you don't know?" he said with a complicated tone.”
"Hehe, you're underestimating me. I'm a well-educated young man who's a good example of a socialist-minded person.”Zhang Lei teased with a smug look on his face.
"Tsk."
Yang Xueli didn't care about Zhang Lei's smugness, but her surprised eyes betrayed her.
It was obvious that she was getting more and more curious about Zhang Lei.
The entire tomb had been explored, and there was nothing worth paying attention to. The black sandstorm outside was still fierce, so Zhang Lei asked Yang Xueli to rest first, but Yang Xueli was unwilling to rest in the tomb, so the two returned to the surface.
The two white camels were still there. When they saw Zhang Lei come out, they immediately came over to lick his hands and feet.
Zhang Lei was also a little curious. Were the two white camels not afraid of the desert army ants?
Yang Xueli had said that she had rushed into the underground tomb to save people because of a large number of desert army ants. Then why didn't those desert army ants eat the two white camels?
However, the white camel could not speak, so there was no explanation.
However, Zhang Lei and Yang Xueli guessed that it might be because the ant queen died and the desert army ants lost their command. They only cared about escaping and did not have the mood to attack the white camel.
With this speculation, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back and find their teammates. The two white camels were not eaten by the Desert Army Ants. The others were far away, so they should be fine.
Besides, the black sandstorm was raging outside. They couldn't go even if they wanted to.
Even if Zhang Lei was powerful, he could not defeat the might of nature.
In the end, the two of them decided to take turns to rest and wait for the black sandstorm to pass before returning to the team.
