C181 (1/2)

I recalled the dull and monotonous footsteps of eldest senior brother and I in the silent passageway. After walking for about two to three minutes, when I looked back, I could no longer see the open door. It was still pitch black behind me.

After walking forward a distance, I made a new discovery and discovered that a mural had started to appear on both sides of the corridor. The mural was extremely exquisite, and it was well-preserved, as if it was a narrative mural. The first mural depicted a young man in his twenties wearing a set of tattered clothes, looking like he was begging for food.

The second mural was a huge change. This young man had changed into a new set of clothes and was wearing the official uniform. However, it was the uniform of a eunuch. A large group of young eunuchs were kneeling on the ground with a haughty appearance.

In the third mural, the eunuch appeared in a temple deep in the mountains, surrounded by white mist. An old Daoist sat on a stone like an immortal, and the eunuch knelt in front of the old Daoist Immortal, who seemed to be holding something in his hand and was about to pass it to him.

I didn't even have time to look at the fourth mural when I heard eldest senior brother calling for me to stop and quickly catch up to him. I replied in agreement, and when I raised my head to look, I found that eldest senior brother was already very far away from me.

”Brat, what are you dawdling for?” The Eldest Senior Brother turned around and asked me.

”I saw that there was a mural on the wall, so I looked at it a little more. It might be useful to us.” ”No,” I said.

”What's painted on it?”

”Nothing much, it seems like he drew a young man in his twenties who suddenly entered the palace to be a eunuch, and his position was not low either. Later on, that eunuch seemed to be studying outside, taking in a Taoist for cultivation, and after that, he didn't even have the time to take a look.” ”No,” I said.

This piqued the interest of the Eldest Senior Brother, and he said, ”Last night, we met some of your ghosts. Aren't they Eunuch Zhang and Eunuch Liu? They said that there was also Eunuch Li here. I believe that this place should be where he will be buried. ”

”But what does the tomb of Eunuch Li have to do with the people who died on top?” I wondered.

”Who am I supposed to ask if you ask me? Should we ask Eunuch Li? ” The eldest senior brother teased me before continuing to walk forward.

The two of us walked forward another ten meters before the Eldest Senior Brother suddenly stopped. I almost bumped into his back and asked curiously, ”Eldest Senior Brother, why aren't we leaving?”

The eldest senior brother turned around and made a gesture to me to keep quiet. He carefully said, ”Youngest junior brother ….” There seems to be someone up ahead … ”

”Where?” I was shocked and used my flashlight to shine in front of me. When I saw the light, I was shocked. Holy crap, there really is someone in front. That person was sitting on the ground with his back facing us and didn't move at all.

The Eldest Senior Brother and I looked at each other and said, ”Eldest Senior Brother, why is there a person appearing in such a desolate place?”
