Chapter 620: He is not afraid of playing tricks
Moonlight leaked in through the window lattice, casting a fine silver net on the blue brick floor.
Just as Ye Bai's fingers touched the last page of yellowed paper, the oil lamp suddenly burst into a flame as big as a broad bean.
A hint of sandalwood mixed with the damp and musty smell, and the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood up.
The stone lion's deep roar penetrated the three-inch-thick brick wall.
Ye Bai rushed to the window and saw the mane of the stone statue on the left shimmering in the moonlight, and dark red blood beads oozing from the purple-black sword.
The bronze sword tassel moved without wind, leaving a winding blood trail on the ground, like a red snake awakening.
"Who is pretending?"
He drew out the vajra from his waist, and the twelve rings on the vajra head collided with each other, making a clear sound.
The shadow cast by the bookshelf suddenly twisted into a claw shape.
Ye Bai turned around suddenly, and the moment the vajra split the air, the oil lamp on the desk went out.
In the darkness, a silver thread brushed past my ears and was nailed into the wooden pillar, making a humming sound like the vibrating strings of a guitar.
"Dang Cang——"
He touched the object stuck on the pillar, which felt like jade but not jade.
When the fingertips rubbed against the uneven lines, the palm of the hand suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if the poisonous scorpion's tail needle had stung the flesh.
Moonlight streamed in at this moment, illuminating the half-broken jade lying in his palm, with ink-like liquid oozing from the broken surface.
There was a rustling sound outside the stone gate.
Ye Bai clutched the broken jade and moved against the wall, seeing the moonlight on the ground shattered into powder.
Thousands of bronze armor plates are emerging from the cracks in the ground, interlocking with each other to form human shapes.
Those empty armors raised the rusty spears, and the friction at the joints made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
The armors in the front row suddenly turned collectively towards the wooden house.
Two faint green fireflies lit up in the hole under the visor, and Ye Bai felt as if countless ice cones were piercing into his pupils along his line of sight.
Ye Bai quickly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a scarlet blood light flashed in his eyes.
He gripped the vajra tightly and swept around, knocking away all the armor pieces.
"Ok?"
Ye Bai suddenly noticed that every piece of armor would turn into a pool of ashes after being knocked away.
He raised his foot and stepped on the nail plates a few times, and found that all the nail plates disappeared and merged into the floor.
"Such a powerful corrosive agent... No wonder ancient emperors chose to build tombs there. This place is truly sinister and extremely ominous."
Ye Bai frowned and felt alert.
"The tomb has been opened, but it's still shrouded in fog, making it impossible to explore. Why is that?"
"Could it be..."
Ye Bai's eyes fell on the ground, and he carefully observed the stone steps, and suddenly he realized.
He bent down to pick up a piece of broken rope and looked at it carefully next to the candlestick.
"So that's how it is. The mechanism here is actually in the rope!" Ye Bai showed a look of joy on his face.
The structure of this rope is very strange, with runes carved on its surface.
Ye Bai squatted down and reached out to touch its surface.
"This is... a formation!"
"This rope itself is a huge formation."
"As long as someone pulls the rope, the entire rope will produce a magnetic field reaction, triggering the formation to operate."
"Once it is damaged, the entire formation will self-destruct, triggering the forbidden existence in the tomb."
"If the taboo is touched, the entire tomb formation will be activated, causing a collapse and burying all those who enter the tomb."
Ye Bai's face turned pale.
Although he understood the formation, he only knew the basics.
He couldn't crack a tomb of this level at all.
Rumble…
Just then, the sound of footsteps like thunder came from afar.
Ye Bai listened to the sound and judged that more than ten warriors were coming quickly.
Moreover, there is an extremely dangerous guy approaching, and he will probably enter the stone gate soon.
Ye Bai jumped out of the stone gate without thinking.
Outside the stone gate is a deep corridor with torches lit on both sides.
In the light of the fire, Ye Bai saw several corpses.
"It seems they were attacked before they died, with spears and daggers stuck in their chests."
"Not only that, but a spear pierced his chest."
Ye Bai frowned slightly. These corpses were all ordinary warriors, and the cause of death was unknown.
"It seems that this test is not easy." Ye Bai whispered and stepped forward.
After walking out of the corridor, he stood in front of the stone gate, stunned.
Behind the stone gate was a vast tomb chamber.
"Whose royal family's tomb is this?"
He saw that the walls of the tomb were covered with murals.
The murals are lifelike, as if they were real, giving people a sense of vicissitudes and antiquity.
Ye Bai walked straight inside without looking around.
"what--"
Suddenly, there was a shrill scream, full of fear.
Ye Bai looked in the direction of the sound and saw five blurry black shadows kneeling on the ground above an altar.
Their arms were hanging down, obviously broken.
Moreover, they all had black cloth tied around their necks.
When Ye Bai got closer, he recognized the word "Li" embroidered on their clothes.
"These should be the warriors of Qin, but unfortunately they all died in battle."
They were tall and strong, wearing heavy armor.
Ye Bai guessed that they were Qin's cavalry.
Moreover, they were armed with sharp blades and spears, and were definitely an elite army.
But they still fell here.
"Why are there a group of Qin soldiers' graves here?"
Ye Bai was filled with doubts, but he quickly put them behind him.
There is a deep dark pool in the center of the tomb.
The water in the pond is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the shadowy stone sculptures.
The chains on the stone gate originated from this.
Moreover, these stone carvings and the coffin behind the stone gate form a wonderful totem.
They began to wriggle as if they had life.
Wow!
The stone door slowly opened, and a strong smell of blood and stench gushed out.
"Ouch!"
A shrill wolf howl came from inside the stone gate.
Ye Bai's face changed drastically.
He immediately rushed into the stone gate.
Behind the stone gate is a passage with many skulls hanging on both sides.
Beneath each skull is a bronze plaque with the name, place of origin, and even date of birth and death.
Ye Bai walked for a distance, stopped, and looked at a sarcophagus in front of him.
There was a shriveled skeleton sitting cross-legged in the sarcophagus, with scattered bones.
"This skeleton isn't rotten, which means it's fresh and hasn't been sacrificed..."
Ye Bai stared at the skeleton and murmured, "Is he the guardian of this coffin, or is he buried alive with it?"
"Are the owners of these stone sculptures from the same tombs?"
He concluded that the question was worthless and simply passed by the coffin.
Ye Bai came to the center of the tomb.
There is a stone statue placed here, its whole body is dark, its face is hideous and terrifying, and there is a bow and arrow behind its back.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Next to the stone statue, there are several stone slabs piled up, engraved with complex and mysterious textures, crisscrossing each other.
Ye Bai didn't quite understand.
He hesitated for a moment and tried to pry the stone slab open with brute force.
Click!
The stone slab was removed, revealing a door.
This is a stone door with lifelike carvings of mountains, rivers, plants, insects and fish.
"Could it be another tomb?"
Ye Bai walked into the room and saw that the stone chamber was simply furnished, empty and lonely.
A cylindrical stone platform stands in the center, divided into nine grids on all sides.
