Chapter 461 The General's Mummified Corpse
They climbed down by hanging from ropes. They could climb back up, but it would be very difficult, especially for Bai Yisha, who had no training and it would be extremely difficult for her.
Sang Biao thought to himself that he must apply to take a rock climbing class when he got back.
Who knows which grave this old lady will climb next?
After calming down, Qi Ye observed the surrounding terrain and was somewhat surprised. He reached out to stop Sang Biao from continuing to speak, walked to a corner by himself, lay down, and listened attentively.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock."
"There's the sound of water here. It's not a dead end. There must be a mechanism here. Let me figure it out."
Qi Ye was writing something in the air with his fingers, muttering something under his breath.
The others exchanged glances, puzzled but not disturbing the conversation.
Now, all we can do is rely on Qi Ye.
He seems to be a professional.
Bai Yisha remembered him as a young Taoist priest, but she didn't expect him to look somewhat respectable.
Qi Ye's waving hand suddenly stopped. He looked up and walked southwest. After counting to thirty, he stopped, picked up a stone, and began to strike the ground.
Bai Yisha was able to walk now. She got up and walked to the coffin where she had just lain, and peered inside, where she saw fragments of bone.
"Amitabha Buddha, I'm so sorry, so sorry! Senior, I'm so sorry. We were just kids and didn't know any better. Please forgive our rudeness. Don't deduct my merits; I didn't mean to. If you want to deduct Qi Ye's merits, please rest in peace..."
Qi Ye rolled his eyes after hearing Bai Yisha's remarks and continued knocking.
Suddenly, a hexagonal object protruded from underground. He sneered and said, "Well hidden."
Then, he turned the small object with both hands, and the stone door of the tomb began to vibrate slowly, just like when he first entered.
Bai Yisha was taken aback. She jogged over to look at the stone door and couldn't help but ask, "How did this stone door move...?"
"Never mind how it moves, just go."
After packing his things, Qi Ye grabbed Bai Yisha by the back of her collar and pulled her inside.
The group quickly followed.
Upon entering, Qi Ye's eyes brightened considerably, and a confident smile appeared on his lips: "As expected."
They were in a huge underground hall, with ancient moss covering the walls, which were also covered with dense runes and murals.
These murals depict ancient sacrifices, rituals, and some chilling scenes—
People knelt before the enormous stone statue, whose eyes seemed to gleam with an eerie light.
The ground was made of hard bluestone slabs, covered with cracks and dust, as if it had been asleep for thousands of years.
The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell, which sent chills down one's spine.
Before them stood a massive stone gate, its surface carved with intricate patterns that seemed to tell an ancient story.
Two stone statues stand on either side of the stone gate. Their faces are indistinct, but they give people a strange sense of oppression.
Bai Yisha was stunned.
[Host, this tomb belongs to the owner of the hairpin. Find the coffin and quietly return the hairpin.]
The Emperor's voice suddenly rang out, and Bai Yisha paused, then began searching for a coffin.
Qi Ye seemed to have guessed what Bai Yisha was thinking. He tugged at the rope he had retied and led her inside.
“I’ve been here before. This is the first time I’ve found my way in. I know the way out. Since we’re already here, I’ll take you to see the tomb owner.”
This is exactly what Isaac Bessa meant.
She nodded.
The bag she carried wasn't big, and it was wrapped in foam to hold three collectibles, so even though she had just fallen, none of the collectibles were damaged.
The group continued walking forward, with Bai Yisha following beside Qi Ye as they traversed the narrow stone path.
The surrounding walls were covered with mottled moss and weathered stone carvings. The powerful flashlights in their hands drew beams of light in the darkness, illuminating the path ahead.
"What era is this from?" Bai Yisha asked in a low voice, observing the runes and symbols on the wall as she walked.
Her hand unconsciously tugged at Qi Ye's clothes.
This time, Qi Ye only glanced at it and didn't say anything. He looked at the wall a few times and said, "Those things from Yinchao, be careful, don't fall down and poke my butt again."
Bai Yisha shrugged, unconcerned.
After passing through a narrow stone door, they finally arrived at the center of the tomb chamber.
This is a huge circular tomb chamber with a floor paved with bluestone. In the center is a huge stone coffin with intricate patterns carved on the lid, clearly carved from a single piece of bluestone.
On either side of the stone coffin stood a stone statue, dressed in armor, holding a spear, with a solemn expression.
Bai Yisha gasped.
This was the first time she had ever entered someone else's grave to see a corpse.
It really is a thousand-year-old corpse.
Qi Ye led Bai Yisha slowly closer, carefully examining the stone coffin.
She reached out and touched the coffin lid; the icy touch sent a chill down her spine.
"Sang Biao, you guys come up here and push open this coffin lid."
Sang Biao and the others exchanged glances, then looked at Qi Ye in shock, their voices trembling as they said, "This, this isn't right... This is, this is someone else's coffin..."
Qi Ye put his hands on his hips, annoyed, and said, "I don't have the strength to push anymore. I pushed it before, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, you guys just opened the coffins of two thousand-year-old corpses quite easily, didn't you?"
Sang Biao and the others were speechless for a moment: "..."
They were trying to save people!
But it’s all here.
The four of them exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and together pushed the coffin lid with all their might.
With a dull creak, the coffin lid slowly slid open, and a musty, rotten smell wafted out.
A skeleton clad in ancient armor lay there quietly, its face long since decayed, but the armor remained well-preserved, with even some gems inlaid inside the coffin.
Bai Yisha: "!!!!"
A rotting corpse!!!
It's not all skeletons!!!
She was terrified and instinctively hid behind Qi Ye, clutching his clothes in fear.
Seeing this, Qi Ye sneered, "What a coward, is that all the courage you have?"
[Host, don't be afraid. When no one is looking, put the hairpin back. It's a meritorious deed! It's a blessing! Do you want it, host?]
The system encouraged Bai Yisha in her mind and played patriotic songs for her, which immediately made her feel less afraid.
Bai Yisha carefully moved her feet, mustering her courage to look towards the coffin.
She suddenly noticed that the treasures in the coffin hadn't been moved much, and turned to Qi Ye in confusion: "You...aren't you interested in these things?"
"I'm not short of money. If I wanted everything, wouldn't that lower my social standing?"
Bai Yisha: "......"
So that's why he was only interested in the hairpin.
[Because it was a general's tomb, it was unusual to find a hairpin there, so he took it purely for his perverse pleasure. Host, reforming this rebellious teenager is a daunting task!]
Bai Yisha was once again ashamed.
She wasn't exactly a model student either; it was really asking too much of her to reform a rebellious teenager.
If Qi Ye weren't worth 100,000 merits, even a dog wouldn't bother to reform him.
