Chapter 526: A Woman Who Speaks the Borjigin Language Stuns the Entire Internet
A beautiful woman suddenly appearing in an ancient tomb made many people flash knowing smiles.
A beauty always pairs well with a legendary tale, especially in a setting like this.
Some were already imagining — surely this must be some herding girl from the grasslands who happened to pass by and saved Half-Section Li?
But thinking it over carefully, it didn't seem quite possible!
This place was rarely visited by anyone; herders never came here.
Otherwise, the imperial tomb would not have remained undiscovered for a thousand years!
With that, the identity of this woman who had suddenly appeared became intriguing.
Everyone looked at Zhang Lin, waiting for his explanation.
"Although Half-Section Li was stark naked and a woman had appeared beside him, he quickly calmed himself down."
"He then discovered that the woman's situation was no better than his own — the cloth on her body was sparse, barely enough to cover herself."
"And although the woman looked young in age, she was extremely strong!"
"That kind of strength had nothing to do with fat — it was true, raw strength; Half-Section Li had never seen such a powerfully built woman."
"Beauty combined with a powerful physique produced an enormous visual impact; Half-Section Li was stunned for a moment."
"The woman's arms were even thicker than Half-Section Li's calves, and when she stood up, she was like a small hill!"
"Even stranger, the woman's skin was extraordinarily white — so white it was almost sickly."
"Half-Section Li also saw that he was in a room with very strange furnishings."
"The light inside was dim, and its source was unknown; the room was also shaped like a hemisphere, and he was lying on a fur mat of some animal — the fur was very soft and quite comfortable."
"His eyes moved for a moment, and he finally discovered that his legs had already been bandaged and set."
"Only the technique was very crude; Half-Section Li seriously doubted whether his legs could heal properly this way."
"At that moment, the woman smiled at Half-Section Li and spoke a sentence."
"It was that single sentence that made Half-Section Li's hair stand on end!"
"Because the woman was asking him in Borjigin language: Where are you from?"
Hearing this, nearly everyone in the New Moon Restaurant was shocked!
A woman who could speak the Borjigin language?
Could it be that Half-Section Li had stumbled into the core area of the imperial tomb?
And that the woman before them was actually a Mongol from the Land of Immortality?
If that were truly the case, how long had this woman lived?
Was she a descendant of the people who had escorted the burial back then, or had those escorts not yet died?
All kinds of questions flooded the audience's minds; at this moment they were desperate to know the answer.
……
"Hearing the woman speak, Half-Section Li replied in his own broken Borjigin, saying he had drifted in with the water flow, and asked her what this place was."
"The woman smiled but did not answer, simply turned around and fetched a large bowl of something."
"Instantly, a sour, foul stench assailed his nostrils!"
"Having spent a long time with the Mongols recently, Half-Section Li recognized the smell at once — it was Mongol yogurt cheese, generally used to entertain honored guests!"
"According to Mongol custom, when a guest drinks this, even so much as furrowing one's brow counts as a grave offense against the host!"
"Therefore, Half-Section Li took it with both hands; he was already hungry, so how could he care about the taste — he downed the entire large bowl of yogurt cheese in one go!"
"Seeing this, the woman beamed from ear to ear, clearly feeling she had been shown respect."
"After eating and drinking his fill, Half-Section Li wanted to continue asking what this place was, but suddenly felt an odd itch in his throat and coughed violently several times."
"But the moment he began to cough, the woman showed a look of terror, reached out and covered his mouth, and shook her head to signal him not to make a sound!"
"She then told him he absolutely must not leave this room, otherwise the moment he stepped outside he would die! Because Half-Section Li was an outsider!"
Hearing this, the audience was already so excited they could barely sit still.
The woman's words had basically confirmed that this was a secret place.
And there was a very strict division between inside and outside — outsiders could not enter, or they would be killed!
This was exactly the sort of thing the imperial tomb's guards would do!
