Chapter 463: 9 Dragons Arching the Pearl, Qiankun Locking the Soul
Ye Bai walked into the tomb and his eyes were immediately drawn to the stone coffin. The dragon and phoenix reliefs on the coffin were lifelike, as if telling of the noble status of the tomb owner.
"Mr. Ye, this sarcophagus looks unusual. There must be a lot of good things inside." The fat man followed behind with his eyes shining.
At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room was scrolling wildly:
"Anchor 666, you really found a treasure trove!"
"This sarcophagus looks valuable, open it and take a look!"
Xinxin and Yang Mi stood aside, with nervousness and excitement on their faces.
Xinxin tightly grasped Yang Mi's arm and whispered, "Sister Mi, this place is so eerie, I'm a little scared."
Although Yang Mi was a little uneasy, she pretended to be calm: "Don't be afraid, Ye Bai and Fatty are here."
Ye Bai walked around the sarcophagus, carefully observing the carvings and patterns on it. Suddenly, he found a small hole on the side of the sarcophagus, which looked like the entrance to some kind of mechanism.
"Fatty, bring the tool kit." Ye Bai shouted.
The fat man quickly handed over the tool, and Ye Bai took out a thin wire and carefully inserted it into the small hole.
At this moment, there was a slight vibration in the tomb, and then some red light began to slowly appear on the surrounding walls, as if some ancient symbol was lit up.
"What's going on?" Yang Mi asked in horror.
"It seems like some mechanism has been triggered, everyone be careful." Ye Bai looked around vigilantly.
The audience in the live broadcast room also became nervous:
"Anchor, be careful, don't lose your life!"
“It feels so exciting, like watching a movie!”
Ye Bai continued to study the mechanism on the sarcophagus as he fiddled with it.
The sarcophagus made a dull sound and the lid began to move slowly.
A stale smell blew in the air, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the inside of the sarcophagus.
“Click… snap!”
With two final soft sounds, the sarcophagus was finally fully opened.
"Wow!"
The audience in the live broadcast room shouted in unison, and the screen was filled with gifts.
Lying quietly in the sarcophagus were a few jade pendants, three jade boxes, and a tattered book. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"Nothing left?"
"Holy shit! It's empty?"
"Host, are you kidding me? This is the tomb's owner's mausoleum. How could there be nothing inside?"
"Could it be that the anchor wants to exchange the jade pendant for points?"
The audience in the live broadcast room was talking a lot.
Ye Bai frowned and carefully examined the sarcophagus. After confirming that there was no danger, he said to Yang Mi and the others, "Let's leave here first. This sarcophagus is too weird."
"Yeah." Yang Mi responded, she felt the same way.
"Wait...what is that?"
At this moment, Ye Bai suddenly pointed to a corner and said in a surprised tone.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, gasped, and showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.
It turned out that there was a male corpse lying in that corner. The male corpse was wearing a green Taoist robe, had a mustache, and black smoke was swirling above his head. The whole person looked extremely weird.
"Oh my god! It's a corpse scam!"
"ghost!"
Yang Mi screamed in fright and hid behind Ye Bai.
Ye Bai's expression was solemn as he carefully examined the corpse. There was a large, bloody hole where the neck was broken.
"Who killed him?" asked the fat man.
Ye Bai shook his head: "I guess he killed himself."
"This man died in a strange way. There must be something fishy going on." Yang Mi said fearfully.
"Let's go, forget about it, let's go check out other rooms." Ye Bai pulled the two girls forward.
"Master Ye, can we take a photo as a souvenir?" Yang Mi asked.
Ye Bai smiled and agreed. He gave each of the two women 10 yuan as a reward and led them to continue searching.
"Ding dong~"
Just as he walked a short distance, Ye Bai received a text message that read:
Treasures in the Tomb
Ye Bai stopped, thought for a moment, turned around and returned to the sarcophagus.
"Fatty, help me lift the coffin so I can see what's inside." Ye Bai ordered.
"Oh, okay!"
The fat man lifted the sarcophagus and moved the lid half a foot higher. Ye Bai leaned closer to the coffin and took a look. Sure enough, he saw a scroll at the bottom.
The scroll is very ancient and has turned yellow. It depicts mountains, rivers, plants, flowers and birds, and seems to have been painted by a scholar.
"Look at the painting style, this is the painting technique of the Tang Dynasty." The fat man exclaimed.
"good."
Ye Bai nodded: "You guys step back a bit, I'll try to see if I can open it."
Ye Bai took out a bronze mirror and pointed it at the bottom of the coffin.
The mirror emitted a golden glow, shining on the scroll, gradually forming a vortex and slowly spreading.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the entire sarcophagus exploded, with debris flying everywhere and dust filling the air.
"Mr. Ye, be careful!" The fat man rushed forward and pushed Ye Bai away.
When the dust settled, the sarcophagus had already shattered into pieces, reduced to a pile of ruins. Furthermore, a coffin remained on the floor.
"Is this... there's a living person in the coffin?" Yang Mi exclaimed.
"It's possible." Ye Bai nodded.
"Let's go quickly. It will be troublesome if we encounter zombies." Yang Mi nervously pulled the fat man's arm and said, "Let's go!"
"Hey, wait a minute." Ye Bai suddenly stopped.
He bent down and picked up a jade pendant.
This jade pendant is transparent and crystal clear, just like a beautiful jade, with a refreshing fragrance wafting around your nose.
"Hey, isn't this the jade pendant of Emperor Qinling?"
Ye Bai has an excellent memory and had watched "The Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor" in the past.
He was so engrossed in watching the film at that time that he even remembered the name of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, clearly.
"Ye Bai, how did you know?" the fat man asked curiously.
Ye Bai didn't explain. He squatted on the ground and examined it carefully. The patterns on the jade pendant were not complicated, but they contained extremely strong spiritual power.
He closed his eyes and mobilized pure spiritual power to inject it into the jade pendant. In an instant, the jade pendant flashed with a light blue halo.
The jade pendant vibrated violently, as if a flame was burning, emitting hot air waves.
Ye Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed in the depths of his pupils.
"boom--"
Suddenly, the stone pillar in the center of the tomb exploded, and a man wrapped in black cloth appeared out of thin air.
This was an old man with disheveled hair, tattered clothes, skin as pale as paper, and a shriveled and withered face, like a zombie that had been starving for a long time.
"Zombies?!" the fat man cried out, "Fuck! This is an ancient tomb!"
"Roar!" The zombie roared and pounced on him with its fangs and claws bared.
Ye Bai grabbed its throat and squeezed hard.
The zombie's head immediately drooped and its body fell limply to the ground.
"How amazing!" The fat man was stunned.
Yang Mi, with a look of idiocy, muttered, "Zombie! This really is a zombie!"
Ye Bai threw the zombie away, then picked up the scroll on the ground and took a look. It said: Nine dragons arching a pearl, the five elements lack gold, the universe locks the soul, and the burial ground gathers wealth!
