Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

Chapter 243 Shock, something more precious than treasure

He cut off the zombie's legs with a dagger and dragged it aside.

"This thing is too scary! Let's go back as soon as possible." Yang Mi said tremblingly.

Meng Ziyi was unwilling to give up and said, "This tomb is full of treasures. It would be a waste to leave it empty. We have to move some things away."

Ye Bai said, "Don't worry. I estimate that everything in this tomb will be moved out soon." He looked at the rows of shelves next to the coffin, where weapons of various kinds were placed.

Meng Ziyi asked, "How do you know?"

Ye Bai pointed at the rows of shelves and said, "Look at the weapons on those shelves. Apart from weapons of mass destruction like swords and guns, the rest are bows, crossbows, and spears. Think about it, if everything here has been taken away, why keep all that scrap metal?"

Yang Mi suddenly realized, "You mean... those who took the things are probably hiding nearby?"

Ye Bai nodded. He guessed that someone from the Shen family had entered the ancient tomb and taken away the treasures.

But the tomb owner had set up a trap before his death, and they had to crack the trap before they could find the treasure.

He looked around and asked, "Who built this tomb?"

Yang Mi replied: "According to historical records, it should belong to a royal family."

Ye Bai said, "Then it's not the Shen family's ancestral tomb. Perhaps it belongs to another family. The treasures in this tomb must have been stolen long ago, otherwise the ancestors of the Shen family wouldn't be so quiet."

Yang Mi nodded in agreement. "Those weapons are covered in rust and are not well preserved. I suspect the ancestors of the Shen family were not good at martial arts and only knew some basic skills. Although this tomb is magnificent, it relies more on mechanical devices and lacks protective power."

She sighed again: "Now it seems that the most precious things in this tomb have been stolen."

Ye Bai opened his backpack, took out a compass, and began to deduce the layout of the ancient tomb. Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi both came over and watched carefully.

After a moment, Ye Bai pointed to the left and said, "Go this way."

When the three of them walked to the end of the passage, Ye Bai suddenly stopped and said, "Look."

Meng Ziyi looked around and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah... there seem to be words on these walls."

Before them stood a thick stone wall. The stone was smooth and without any patterns, showing signs of antiquity. But in the middle of the stone wall, two words were faintly engraved:

"Book of Han: Biography of the Works of Nature".

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi said in unison: "Could this be the legendary 'The Legend of Heavenly Craftsmen'?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "Probably not."

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi looked at each other and seemed to understand something.

They continued walking forward. The further they went, the clearer the ancient seal characters carved into the stone walls became. Ye Bai read each word aloud to them, and the two little girls exclaimed in surprise, their faces flushed, as if they had witnessed something extremely shocking.

Finally, they stopped.

Meng Ziyi covered his mouth and whispered, “I saw my mother…”

Before them stood a massive mural. It depicted a beautiful young woman, clad in a gorgeous palace gown, seated upon a resplendent throne. Beside her stood several palace guards, weapons in hand, looking majestic and imposing, like mythical warriors standing guard at her side.

In the center of the painting, there are two coffins side by side, one with its lid open and the other completely closed.

Meng Ziyi murmured to himself: "It turns out that two princesses are buried here..."

She looked at Ye Bai: "Who is this then?"

Ye Bai was also looking at the paintings. Both paintings had a classical charm that made him feel familiar. This ancient temperament seemed familiar.

He carefully identified the facial features of the person in the painting, and a vague outline emerged in his mind.

At this moment, the system's voice came to my ears: "Host, congratulations on triggering the side quest [Revelation]."

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows: "You refreshed the side quest so quickly?"

System: "This system has been helping the host to level up! This time, because the host triggered a side quest, 100 points will be awarded. So, accept the task!"

Ye Bai: “…”

Ye Bai: "Are you sure you want to accept?"

System: “OK.”

Ye Bai was silent for a while, then turned to Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi and said, "You two, step back. Don't let anyone get hurt by mistake."

The two girls stared at him blankly, and Meng Ziyi couldn't help but advise: "Be careful..."

"Yeah." Ye Bai responded, took out a piece of cloth from his backpack, and covered his eyes. He reached out and felt the murals on the stone wall, then slowly moved around to the front of the coffin.

The painting was on the right half. He walked to the left and then came back, right at a diagonal angle to the painting.

Ye Bai knocked lightly on the stone wall.

Dong, dong, dong, there was a rhythm. The stone wall was very hard, and the force that bounced back from the strikes was even stronger than that of a hammer.

Ye Bai tried to chop at it with his sword, but it didn't budge. He frowned, then switched to a short sword, thrusting it into the rock before pulling it out. This time, he used 80% of his strength, but it still didn't budge.

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the stone wall was quite solid, so he put away his dagger and smashed it with his fists.

"Crack!" The stone wall cracked.

He smiled.

There are gaps inside the stone wall that you can drill into.

Ye Bai bent down and reached in, groping for a moment when he suddenly heard a "ding" sound. He quickly jumped out and picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground. The dagger was covered in blood, and half of a silver needle was embedded in the dagger blade.

Yang Mi ran over: "There's something here! Brother Ye, were you in danger just now?"

Ye Bai nodded and said, "There's someone inside."

Yang Mi was startled, and Meng Ziyi quickly grabbed her arm: "Sister, I'm scared..."

Ye Bai said: "Don't be afraid, follow me."

Inside the stone wall was a corridor, cold and damp. It was spacious, wide enough for four people to walk side by side. The ceiling of the corridor was inlaid with night-shining pearls, which glowed softly, making the entire corridor as bright as day.

Ye Bai led them forward, turned a corner, and came to another door.

"Squeak~"

Ye Bai unlocked the door, opened it, and stepped in first, then shouted to the outside, "Don't be afraid."

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi followed him in and were stunned.

I saw a large hall with a high dome, carved beams and painted buildings, which was magnificent and luxurious. The floor was covered with expensive Persian carpets, and the walls were painted with various murals, which were lifelike.

Yang Mi rubbed her eyes: "This...why is there a secret room here?"

She looked up and saw that the furnishings in this secret room were very old, yet filled with a strong sense of history.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi thought of many things in an instant.

When the Tang Dynasty collapsed, the princes divided the country and the people suffered.

The country was destroyed, the mountains and rivers were shattered, homes were turned into ruins, and countless people were displaced.
