Chapter 430: Life and Death

As time went on, the burning on the grimace birthmark became more and more noticeable, and cold sweat was already oozing from my forehead.

In order not to let Li Huiyan and others notice this abnormality, I tried my best to keep the expression on my face calm. It's just that the strong burning heat makes me a little unbearable, and it's not easy to hide from the careful Li Huiyan.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Huiyan to notice my abnormality, and immediately asked with a concerned expression: "Zhang Sansan, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

"I didn't ...... I'm fine, probably not recovered yet, just a few more minutes of rest and I'll be fine. I shook my head and said.

I still don't want too many people to know about the grimace birthmark, so if I really can't do it, I'll explain today's matter to Li Huiyan alone later.

After a few moments, the burning heat on the grimace birthmark slowly faded away, and the calm returned to before.

Unlike before, this time I could clearly feel the existence of Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy and those wandering spirits, as if they were connected with them through a special medium in a dream.

Not only that, but after the burning sensation gradually subsided, I felt as if something had changed from the grimace birthmark on my back, and it seemed to have moved some position.

I'm not sure if I'm right to feel this way, after all, it's a special situation now, and I can't just take off my clothes and show others.

I now have a feeling that if I call for Yao Ling'er or Ghost Boy in my heart, I will be able to immediately make contact with these two little guys. That being said, I didn't try to do that either.

Now there are still those tomb robbers in this tomb, if I take the liberty of alarming Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of those tomb robbers, and even they will find out the existence of Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy.

The ancient tomb is full of dangers, Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy can be said to be our last life talisman, when the ghost-faced spider and the yin snake can't deal with those tomb robbers, I still count on Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy to win by surprise.

Anyway, I can now clearly feel the existence of Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy, and I no longer feel the slightest bit like before.

This is unconsciously good news for me, if I can get in touch with Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy at any time, I don't have to resign myself to fate when I encounter danger.

After all, every time Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy came out to help in the past, they were not called out by me on their own initiative, but by the two little guys who ran out by themselves.

It is precisely because of this that we have almost lost our lives several times when we encounter danger, which also makes me have a deep grudge against Yao Linger and the ghost boy.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that my breathing gradually calmed down, Li Huiyan asked.

"It's fine, but I didn't have a good rest just now, but now it's fine." I said casually.

Hearing this, Li Huiyan just shook her head and didn't say anything more.

With Li Huiyan's delicate mind, she must know that I didn't tell the truth, but she is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things, so she didn't ask anything. Seeing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Li Huiyan really wanted to ask about it, I would be really a little difficult, I didn't want to hide Li Huiyan, and I didn't want to tell the change in the grimace birthmark so quickly.

"Now that you're okay, let's move on to finding a way to open the bone coffin. A lot of time has been wasted just now because of this matter, and if we don't find a way to leave this tomb, I'm afraid that we will really suffocate here. Li Huiyan said.

I nodded, and then stood up from the ground with Li Huiyan's support.

When I first got together, my legs were still a little weak, and it took me a while to get used to it.

I glanced at the flowers of death not far away, and saw that they had some new changes from before I fell unconscious.

Originally, the size of the Flower of Death had undergone a change, and it had grown a little larger than when we first saw it. But when I see the flowers of death again, I find that they are all smaller, even smaller than when I first saw them.

"Xiao Yan, did anything happen in the tomb during the time I was unconscious just now?" I asked Li Huiyan.

"That's not true, the tomb was quite calm during the time you were unconscious, and even the crying of the ghost baby stopped." Li Huiyan shook her head and said.

Hearing Li Huiyan say this, I realized that the piercing cry of the ghost baby in the tomb had indeed disappeared, and the tomb had become as calm as when we first entered.

But I knew in my heart that the calm would only be temporary, and that a more violent storm was still brewing.

"Well, you better tell me about the Holy Grail, that's the only thing I didn't hear about just now." I said to Li Huiyan.

"You've become like this, and you still remember this?" Li Huiyan gave me a blank look and said.

"There's no way, if these things aren't clear, I'm afraid we won't be able to open the bone coffin, so we can't just rely on you to figure it out." I said.

Regarding the Flower of Death, Li Huiyan has already told us about the same. After listening to Li Huiyan's previous story, I have some suspicions that this flower of death was also cultivated by the mysterious ghost clan.

After all, it can be heard from Li Huiyan's words that the method of cultivating the Flower of Death is similar to cultivating the Corpse Wheel Blood Tree, and there are no other people in the world who can come up with this method except for the people of the ghost clan.

"Well, it's not true, the Holy Grail is actually referring to skulls. It's just that it's not an ordinary skull, it's a specially selected skull of someone who has a lot of resentment before he dies. Li Huiyan said.

"It's just a skull, and if it's just a skull, why is it called such a strange name as the Holy Grail?" I asked, a little confused.

"I don't know much about this, but one thing is for sure, the skulls used to cultivate the Flower of Death must have been selected for thousands of years, and ordinary skulls will not be used at all." Li Huiyan said.

A good skull is called a Holy Grail, and I'm a little speechless to those who cultivate the Flower of Death, I really don't know how they came up with such a strange name.

Of course, it is also possible that the strange name of the Holy Grail was only added to later records, and not its original name. Looking at the flowers of death in the burial chamber, I still feel extremely puzzled.

What is the purpose of the owner of the tomb to let the corpse chaser come all the way to bring the flower of death back to the tomb from the Western Regions, is it just for the sake of good looks?

Besides, these flowers of death are not beautiful at all, and anyone who is black and does not slip into autumn will get goosebumps when they see it.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't come to any avail, so I simply stopped thinking about it and turned my attention to the white bone coffin in the middle of the burial chamber.

Since entering the burial chamber, we have tried to open the coffin several times, but we have ended up putting it on hold for one reason or another.

Since the Flower of Death in the tomb doesn't seem to be dangerous for the time being, we might as well leave it alone and let it die on its own.

As long as we are not prevented from opening the coffin, these flowers of death can be regarded as entering the water with us, and we have no reason to move them indiscriminately.

"Zhang Sansan, are you planning to open the white bone coffin directly and ignore these death flowers in the tomb?" Li Huiyan asked.

"Yes, it seems that these flowers of death are not dangerous now, more is better than less, it is better for us not to provoke them indiscriminately." I didn't hide anything, nodded and said.

"If you think that, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." Li Huiyan said.

"Why do you say that, do you know anything?" I asked Li Huiyan.

"Well, I just thought of it, and I'm not sure if that's the case." Li Huiyan said.

"Let's hear it first." I said.

Looking at Li Huiyan's appearance, it seems that she really remembered something, which is undoubtedly good news for us.

Among the people present, only Li Huiyan knew about the Flower of Death, and the more she could think of the Flower of Death, the more helpful she would naturally be to us.

"The Flower of Death does not actively attack people, but will add some restrictions to our movement after we open the coffin." Li Huiyan said.

"Add some restrictions? Xiao Yan, I didn't understand what you mean. I said.

"Actually, it's very simple, as long as we don't open the white coffin, these flowers of death in the tomb are not dangerous. But once we open the coffin, then these flowers of death will become real flowers of death, and will really lead us to death. Li Huiyan said with a very solemn expression.

"I see, but if that's all it is, it would be a little weird." I said.

"What's so strange?" Li Huiyan asked.

"If you think about it carefully, the Flower of Death was brought back from the Western Regions by the corpse chasers, right, if the owner of the tomb just wants to prevent us from opening the white bone coffin, wouldn't it be good to set up some anti-theft mechanisms directly around the white bone coffin, why bother to do such a thing?" I said.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but the anti-theft mechanism is too ordinary after all, and what the owner of this ancient tomb wants may be unique. Moreover, the Flower of Death is different from ordinary anti-theft mechanisms, it will not actively hurt people, and will only release a poisonous mist when we open the bone coffin. Li Huiyan said.

"Unleashing the poisonous mist? Aren't we going to suffocate here? I said.

"That's right, if we don't leave the tomb as soon as possible after opening the coffin, we'll die here." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

"Why is that?" I said.

"Because of the phase of life and death, I think it is very likely that there is a phase of life and death in this coffin." Li Huiyan said.
