"I don't know, this is really strange, I don't know what's going on!"
"This tomb is truly bizarre. I don't know what to say anymore. Don't you find it terrifying?"
"Wouldn't you? Don't you find it terrifying?"
The students behind them were whispering.
Just as everyone was curious, the wind stopped, but there was still a faint dampness in the air.
The next moment—
"Holy crap, it's raining! Is it actually raining?"
The metaphysics professor thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes uncertainly.
This is the damn sea, a tomb in the middle of the sea, how could it rain? Did the tomb leak?
That reason couldn't comfort him.
Guo Liang and Captain Bai were stunned. This was completely different from what they had imagined.
It's raining? What kind of tomb rains?
In the live stream.
"What the hell is going on? Why is it raining? Am I seeing things or did I misread it? No way!"
"No, no, you're not mistaken, and neither am I. It's really raining."
"Did it leak? But that doesn't make sense. If the tomb was leaking, it wouldn't be like this, it would be like that."
"Hmph, maybe your Great Xia is facing retribution. This is your retribution for treating our professor like this!"
"This tomb is leaking, and it might be a bad omen. You people of Great Xia might not make it out alive."
"Whether we can make it out alive, we don't know, but you won't. Especially your professor, he won't come back, and will become a vengeful spirit in this tomb."
...
In the dean's conference room.
"I have a bad feeling about this. Are Zhou Lin and the others in danger? This is really too strange."
Professor Wen had seen many tombs and many strange phenomena, but this was the first time he had seen something like this.
Tomb raining? Is this normal?
But then again, was anything about this tomb normal?
"Could there be some creature inside?"
Professor Hu looked around but saw nothing, appearing quite calm.
Did he know something?
"Let's wait for Zhou Lin. Let's see what Zhou Lin decides. We can only wait now, can't we?"
The dean picked up his water cup and took a sip, a bruise on the corner of his mouth, making it difficult to open his mouth too wide.
He could only drink water in small sips.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin walked for a while and saw that the rain was getting heavier. He calmly took an umbrella from his system and came out.
And distributed them to the others.
"Zhou Lin, why are you carrying an umbrella?"
The metaphysics professor looked at the umbrella in his hand and felt completely unwell.
Bringing an umbrella into a tomb?
"I am prescient. Hurry up and use them. We'll rest for a while before we continue."
Zhou Lin saw that the rain had turned into a downpour and thought there might be a river ahead.
The surroundings were vast open spaces. Perhaps the water would appear out of nowhere and cause a flash flood later, which would be even more troublesome. Where would they find these people then?
They might be washed away somewhere.
Seeing the heavy rain intensifying, the metaphysics professor couldn't contain his curiosity.
"Zhou Lin, do you know what this is? Why is this happening? How can there be rainwater in this tomb? Did seawater leak in?"
The metaphysics professor could only think of this possibility.
But even if he thought of other strange beasts, he couldn't think of any beast that could summon wind and rain.
And lower the temperature.
"Of course not. Why would you think it's a leak? If it were a leak, we would have drowned by now."
Zhou Lin smiled helplessly when he heard the metaphysics professor's words. It was really funny.
"Then..."
"You'll know later. Just follow me. You'll understand then. I have to say, the name Wang Canghai's divine craftsmanship is not for nothing. It's truly remarkable."
As Zhou Lin said this, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated the information he had seen about this person before.
He had thought the book was nonsense before, but now he realized it was a mistake.
About half an hour later, their clothes and shoes were soaked. After the heavy rain passed, everyone walked inside.
They had been cold before and hadn't noticed the surroundings, but now they could see that the area around them was very vast.
It was boundless, and even the illumination from the searchlights was limited.
"Where are we now?"
The metaphysics professor still couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.
"Don't ask where we are. Even if you ask, you won't know. Just follow along."
Guo Liang also had a stomach full of questions, but now was not the time to ask.
Everyone followed closely behind Zhou Lin.
Ahead, a river appeared. The river was rushing, as if it could sweep them away at any moment.
This blocked their path.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, is this a flood? It looks like it, but where did the water come from?"
"It didn't come from anywhere, it's a flood. Maybe it's raining upstairs too, otherwise where would the water come from?"
"We can't see anything like this, it's very passive."
"With the expert here, don't worry about being passive. We're just worried about these students."
"Me too, I'm more worried about the students."
...
Inside the tomb.
The river showed no signs of receding, but everyone was starting to feel damp.
"Huh? What's going on? Why is it so cold?"
Guo Liang suddenly shivered, feeling a chill.
"It just rained, and the body is chilly. Plus, there's a slight breeze..."
"It's no wonder it's cold."
The metaphysics professor also felt chilly and finally sneezed.
"No, this breeze is not right. It feels like a northwesterly wind. Only the northwesterly wind is the coldest."
Captain Bai sensitively sensed that something was wrong. The temperature and wind felt like the climate in the north.
"Northwesterly wind? That's a wind that only blows in winter..."
Guo Liang seemed to have heard something terrifying.
If this was the case, would it snow later?
"No way? Is it going to snow?"
"That shouldn't be right. Rain is already strange enough, how can it snow? Is this real?"
"I don't know. We'll find out later, but I'm really cold right now."
Chapter 495
The students from the archaeological team on the side were already shivering from the cold, hugging their arms and stomping their feet from time to time, trying to feel a little more comfortable.
But the more they did this, the colder they felt.
Even when they spoke, cold air came out of their mouths.
And from faint, it became dense.
Then, scattered snowflakes began to fall.
Everyone was stunned. It was really snowing?
Guo Liang uncertainly reached out his hand.
The icy chill on his palm strengthened his conviction.
This was not an illusion.
"It's snowing? No wonder we're so cold. So it's really snowing."
Guo Liang looked up in surprise. This was truly...
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, it just rained, and now it's snowing? Won't we catch a cold? Don't get a fever later."
"That's possible. Your Great Xia bodies are just weaklings."
"That's right."
"You're not weaklings, but your professor is dead, and your Eagle Nation has no one left."
"Holy crap, you... Can you stop bringing that up?"
"Hmm, I won't bring it up. You are thieves with malicious intentions."
"What the hell are you talking about, thieves? You have no evidence. That's not stealing. What else is missing from your Great Xia? If nothing is missing, what are you saying?"
"Hmm, your Eagle Nation has no one left. Even if you're in good shape, you're dead."
"Holy crap %&*&...&*"
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin looked at the people behind him. They were shivering, their faces flushed, and the mist from their breathing was much denser than before.
He then waved his hand and protected them.
The temperature improved slightly, and the snow stopped falling.
"Professor, I feel dizzy..."
"Me too, my head is spinning. I also feel cold all over, but hot at the same time."
"Me too."
Several students collapsed on the ground, shivering.
The mercenaries rushed forward to check and noticed that they all had a fever.
The sudden cold and heat must have caused them to catch a cold.
"I'll make some ginger soup, and it will be fine."
Zhou Lin said and began to prepare the soup.
The metaphysics professor and Guo Liang were already starting to shiver, their bones aching.
They must have had a fever.
After a while, Zhou Lin gave them the ginger soup he had cooked.
One bowl for each person. After drinking it, they felt warm all over, and the chill lessened considerably.
However, because their clothes were thin, they still felt cold.
Even the students who had been dizzy before were much better now. They sat on the ground, trying to see if they could get up.
"How long will this snow last?"
The metaphysics professor looked up at the snowflakes and murmured.
"Perhaps until the water flow freezes. You should rest for a while. It might get very cold later."
Zhou Lin looked at the water flow opposite. A layer of ice had begun to form on it, and faint pure white snowflakes were falling, gradually increasing in thickness.
Half an hour later, the heavy snow subsided somewhat.
Everyone stepped on the snow, the crunching sound reaching their ears.
Although they still felt a chill, their bodies were warm inside.
The river had formed ice, and they could walk on it freely.
Everyone walked on the ice, cautiously and carefully.
Finally, everyone settled down.
However, the surrounding environment had changed.
It had been dark before, but now it looked like a grassland, with lush green mountains behind, and a dark figure behind them, sitting on the ground with a tiger-like tail swinging back and forth.
At this moment, his eyes were full of smiles.
Then, as he stood up, golden light flashed on his body.
"Is this the Tiger God?"
Guo Liang didn't see anything else, but he clearly saw the tail.
He thought a tiger had turned into a spirit.
Didn't they say that spirits were not allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Zhou Lin, the metaphysics professor, Captain Bai, and the others were all looking at Guo Liang.
What do you mean, Tiger God? Is this something a professor should say?
"This is not the Tiger God. Look carefully at what this is."
Zhou Lin pointed to the statue beside them. The statue was facing the south of the mountain.
And it was in a posture of gesturing with its hands.
"What is this?"
Captain Bai said, with a puff of white mist from his mouth.
"Do you know the Classic of Mountains and Seas? It contains such a record. On Mount He, there was a man named Tai Peng. He resembled a human but had a tiger-like tail and some hair on his body."
"This person is known as the God of Auspiciousness, capable of summoning wind and rain, and bringing clouds and rain, but few people know about it."
Zhou Lin revealed the identity of the man, which surprised everyone.
This kind of thing was not common. Since he was the God of Auspiciousness, why was he here?
"This is not the true God of Auspiciousness, it's just a statue. This statue only has a trace of spiritual energy, but this spiritual energy is enough for us to deal with. It's not difficult, but it's troublesome."
Zhou Lin thought about it and felt it was difficult. This was not something that could be solved by force.
In the live stream.
"Holy crap, God of Auspiciousness, sounds really powerful, but why is he here?"
"It's not about where he is, but that the wind and rain just now were caused by this Tai Peng. How should I put this? Should I think he's powerful or not?"
"Summoning wind and rain is not something anyone can do, but this wind and snow are both present, which is truly rare."
"Don't talk about that now. If the expert says so, this must be some kind of immortal. Can he be fought?"
"Judging by the expert's expression, he doesn't seem to be planning to fight. No wonder the expert said he had a headache. This thing cannot be fought."
...
In the dean's conference room.
When the deans heard about the God of Auspiciousness, they were all taken aback.
"I'll go check now to see if there's such a record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Professor Wen said and began to search on the computer.
There was indeed such a record, but the main question was, how to deal with it?
"What should we do now? What should Professor Zhou Lin do at this time?"
Professor Hu was even more curious.
Not only him, but many others were also curious.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin flashed and stood beside Tai Peng, seeing him summoning wind and rain.
It was directed at the other side of the mountain.
"Great God Tai Peng."
Zhou Lin said gently.
