Chapter 197 Winged Ones
Yu Ke told Ye Yingtong as briefly as possible about how he got the Qingming Mask.
He also said that he wanted to know more about the Qingming Mask and asked Ye Yingtong if she had seen similar information.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
Yu Ke, who was sitting on a wooden stake in the forest, didn't know what was happening 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 hidden place, panting.
Leaning against the tree beside her, Ye Yingtong tightly grasped her mobile phone, and her left pupil turned red.
In just a few seconds, the whole person's momentum changed, and even part of his black hair turned red.
"What are you doing? Go back quickly. The team members are not far away. Do you want them to know and take the mask back?"
Ye Yingtong felt the change of 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, your enemy is in it?"
The angry shouting in her mind made Ye Yingtong unable to react for a while. She frowned and took a while to send a message to Yu Ke, saying that the expedition leader had something to ask her to go there and she just came back.
"The ghost in the Qingming mask is missing. If you know relevant information, remember to tell me."
The message sent by Yu Ke was pushed on the screen again.
"Do you know the information about this mask?"
Ye Yingtong only knew the red ghost mask, so she could only ask for help from another soul, who obviously knew a lot about the Qingming mask.
So Ye Yingtong listened to her story in her mind while sending a message to Yu Ke.
The Qingming and Red Ghost masks were once "immortal weapons" cast by a certain dynasty in ancient times.
Of course, the "immortal weapon" here is actually one of the names of supernatural objects used by the ancients, not the magic weapon of the immortals.
They were originally cast for the same purpose, that is, to be buried with the dead!
Whether it is Qingming or Chigui, their role is to preserve the souls of the dead, so that they can remain in the world for a long time and be resurrected in some way in the future.
To put it bluntly, this is the means by which the ancients sought immortality.
However, history has proved that there has never been a dynasty that has been prosperous in this world, let alone a tomb that has lasted forever.
These two masks were lost in a tomb-robbing activity hundreds of years ago, and no one knows what happened afterwards.
"Didn't you say that you are the original owner? You have been in the mask all the time. I really don't know what happened?"
After typing here, Ye Yingtong stopped and asked the Chi Mei in her body in surprise.
'You mean to let me tell you everything that happened in the past few hundred years, and then you tell Yu Ke. Do you think 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, the information she could find above was the limit. Saying more would only arouse suspicion.
In fact, Yu Ke didn’t know the history of this world at all, and he didn’t doubt Ye Yingtong’s explanation.
After learning the origin of the Qingming Mask, he took a photo of the current Qingming Mask and sent it to Ye Yingtong, explaining the current situation of the mask, and wanted her to help find the information of the ghosts that had been in the mask.
The crystallization of fear emotion has been absorbed by the Qingming Mask. Yu Ke naturally wants to make this mask complete again and exert all its abilities, otherwise the gift of the dream tapir in this mask is really useless.
Not only Ye Yingtong, Yu Ke will also ask the Disaster Prevention Bureau to help find information in this regard in the future.
After seeing the information, 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 investigation mission has not yet ended, can the existence of the Red Ghost Mask be known to others?
Ignoring the Chi Mei chattering in her mind, Ye Yingtong quickly changed the subject.
She also has very important information to tell Yu Ke now.
Even if there is no photo sent by Yu Ke, she is ready to send a message to the latter immediately after leaving the ruins.
Before participating in the investigation of the ruins in the mountains, Ye Yingtong had received photos of the murals in the temple underground palace sent by Yu Ke, and also accepted Yu Ke's commission and agreed to explore this information.
What Ye Yingtong didn't expect was that relevant clues were indeed found in this investigation mission.
Upon hearing about the clues about the bronze tripod, Yu Ke no longer asked about the Qingming mask, but instead asked about Ye Yingtong's discovery.
Previously, under the guidance of Fang Xuanhe, Yu Ke entered the ruins that sealed the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. Through the exploration of the forest spirit, Yu Ke realized that the temple underground palace was the casting place of the bronze tripod, and the ruins in the mountains were the area it really suppressed.
In other words, if one wants to trace the bronze tripod, one has to explore the ruins in the mountains. This is also the main reason why the governments of Beijing and Hangzhou have continuously sent large numbers of expedition teams to the mountains in recent times.
They may not know the existence of the bronze tripod, but they know very well that some of the secrets of the sea of blood and corpses are likely to appear in other ruins. Maybe they can get more comprehensive information through mutual verification, and then find a way to solve this crisis.
Yu Ke waited for a while and saw several photos pushed out on the screen.
Ordinarily, the photos taken during these surveys should not be circulated. In the past, there might be some concerns, but now Yu Ke does not need to think too much, just look at it directly. If anyone is not satisfied, I am afraid they will have to go to Master Fang Tian to reason!
Holding a drink in his hand, Yu Ke flipped through the photos sent by Ye Yingtong, and his expression changed from relaxed to solemn.
The content of 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 has nothing to do with the bronze tripod, but Yu Ke soon noticed that this statue is different from the bronze statues he saw inside the ruins that sealed the sea of blood and corpses.
This is a stone statue with many cracks on the surface.
Its appearance does not look like a human at all, but a birdman with wings on its back and a strange face!
Yu Ke clearly remembered that the murals in the underground palace of the temple recorded that it was the alien race that brought the method of suppressing the beast tide to humans, and he also saw similar existences in the ancient phantoms that he saw with the help of Sen Ling when he first entered the underground palace of the temple. They even took on the finishing work of making the bronze tripod, which shows their transcendent status.
The key to the problem lies here!
As Ye Yingtong sent the subsequent photos, Yu Ke was surprised to find that there was no altar around the birdman statue to express worship, and the stone pillars surrounding it were hung with broken bronze chains, which was obviously not friendly.
