Chapter 410 The real gate, the head is not a person
Ye Bai snorted coldly, "What I said is just a guess. You can listen to it or not. Anyway, I won't take such a risk. What if it really is a monster? Can you afford it?"
The more calm Ye Bai acted, the less they believed him.
Although he is lazy, idle and unmotivated in his daily life, he has his own unique judgment, so he chooses to continue his adventure.
This time, they walked to the end of the tomb.
The view ahead suddenly opened up, and a tomb covering a very large area appeared before everyone.
The furnishings inside the tomb are luxurious and elegant.
A golden nanmu table and chair with carvings of dragons and phoenixes hangs in the center of the tomb, and beside it are various antique treasures, which are dazzling and expensive.
The walls are also inlaid with various precious jade and porcelain items.
"Wow, what a rich man! He can earn millions just by making a random painting." The fat man praised.
Yang Mi couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder so many royal relatives in history liked to hide their wealth here, it really is true that wealth can move people's hearts!
It's worthy of being the tomb of King Zhou of Shang, it's so damn luxurious!"
Ye Bai said: "I estimate that this tomb has more than one tomb chamber, but many."
"Ah? There's more?"
The fat man's eyes widened.
Ye Bai nodded: "Yeah, I guessed."
The fat man said, "Then why do you say it's dangerous here? This place is obviously very beautiful, how can it be dangerous?"
Ye Bai said: "Look carefully, those things hanging on the wall are full of strong resentment. If my guess is correct, they should be the resentful souls imprisoned here.
Those vengeful spirits hadn't attacked us before, but now they're suddenly attacking us, probably because they're waiting for an opportunity to escape the seal and break free."
After Ye Bai finished speaking, he walked to the wall and observed.
"Is this... a human head?" the fat man exclaimed.
Ye Bai nodded and said, "It's a human head, but not a person!"
"How is this possible! How can a human grow a human head?" The fat man was shocked.
He is different from Ye Bai. He is just an ordinary person and has always been skeptical about these weird rumors. After all, this is nonsense!
Ye Bai calmly explained: "This is not a real human head, it's a zombie!"
The fat man was trembling all over and his teeth were chattering.
Ye Bai added, "Look carefully. The skin of this skull is wrinkled and its muscles are atrophied. It has obviously been dead for many years, but its eyes are still fierce and brutal!"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the corner of the head's mouth.
The tentacles were cool and moist, confirming his theory.
The fat man said in horror: "Isn't this thing even scarier than a zongzi?"
Ye Bai said: "Although Zongzi is powerful, at least they are in human form. These zombies have no intelligence and don't even understand basic behaviors. They kill purely on instinct and are the most terrifying enemy."
Yang Mi asked, "But why don't they attack us?"
Ye Bai said with a smile: "That's because this is an illusion!"
"What? An illusion?" The fat man was stunned, then rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Was I still asleep?"
"You must be confused from your sleep. Close your eyes quickly and keep going inside. Let's go find the gold brick!" Yang Mi urged.
Ye Bai said: "No need to look for it. In this tomb, except for the stone chamber and this blood pool, there are no gold bricks anywhere else."
The fat man cursed: "Fuck, are you kidding us?"
Ye Bai pointed at the blood pool and said, "This blood pool is indeed unusual, but it is definitely more than just a blood pool. I guess it must be a magic formation left behind by some powerful person. Only by breaking this magic formation can we find the gold brick!"
"Magic formation? Is there really such a thing in this world?" The fat man said in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
Ye Bai said: "Of course there are. Haven't you seen ghosts? Ghosts are also the product of the evolution of formations. The ghosts you encountered before were all illusions. In fact, they can't hurt you at all."
"This... seems to make some sense." The fat man scratched his head.
"What should we do now? Who set up this magic formation and how can we break it?" Yang Mi asked anxiously.
The fat man thought for a long time and said, "Mr. Ye, do you understand formations?"
Ye Bai shook his head and said, "I never care about such mysterious things. I only care about money."
The fat man chuckled and said, "I'm not interested in studying any bullshit formations. We hit it off right away!"
Yang Mi curled her lips, muttered something like "stingy", and walked to the left.
Several people walked through the corridor and up the stairs to the third tomb chamber.
The place was empty, with only a coffin lying in the middle.
The coffin was surrounded by candles, incense and tributes, and on each altar was an exquisite jade artifact.
"There are jade artifacts here?" The fat man stared at the jade artifacts in surprise.
These jade artifacts are all made of excellent jadeite, with bright colors, crystal clearness, and sparkling charming fluorescence. They are of great value and far surpass those jewels available.
The fat man rubbed his palms and stared at the jade pieces greedily. His mouth was dry and he wanted to take out a knife and scrape the jade pieces clean.
Yang Mi wasn't as crazy as the fat man. She looked at the coffin and frowned, saying, "These things may seem valuable, but in reality, they're just bait to attract evil spirits."
"Bait?" The fat man showed an unhappy expression on his face. "Didn't you say these jade products were valuable? How did they become bait?"
Yang Mi said: "No matter how good the jade is, it is still just a dead object."
Ye Bai nodded in agreement.
The fat man said, "If they are bait, why are they placed in front of the coffin? And there are so many of them. It's obvious that these things are important!"
Ye Bai laughed and said, "What you think is important may be garbage in the eyes of some evil spirits!"
The fat man nodded and said, "That's right, even if there are diamonds in it, they are too lazy to take it!"
"Haha!" Ye Bai sneered twice and said, "That may not be the case."
Yang Mi asked, "How do you say that?"
The fat man also looked at Ye Bai curiously.
Ye Bai walked slowly to the coffin, then bent down to pick up a jade pendant, looked at it for a few seconds, and then smiled and said, "Look!"
Ye Bai pointed at the jade pendant and said, "Look again, does the pattern on this jade pendant resemble the Pixiu described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
"Huh? Looking at it this way... they really look alike!" said the fat man, moving closer to take a look.
Yang Mi nodded and said, "It does look like a Pixiu, but isn't a Pixiu yellow? Is this black lacquer?"
"This is dyed with black ink, not really black." Ye Bai explained, "It's because this ink can gather Yin energy, so it emits a dark glow at night.
The rune carved on the bottom of the coffin happened to be a black snake with its tongue sticking out, looking ferocious and cruel.
These evil spirits must have been devoured by the black snake, which created the blood pool tonight."
"This black snake, is it a living creature?" asked the fat man.
