The scene in front of me gradually became clearer, and I finally understood that the old ghost of the Ming Dynasty had died, and I no longer had to face his scarlet eyes.

Qi Yulian squatted on the top of the coffin, dealing with nothing else, but the corpse of the old ghost. It was recorded in the notes of the big shopkeeper that there is some kind of "essence" on the ghost, which is the convergence of their yin energy, and it is also where the energy is, even if the ghost is suddenly broken, the "essence" on their body will not disappear instantly, and the same kind can devour this "essence" among themselves, and can be turned into one of their own energy.

The red-eyed old ghost in front of me was eliminated by me with a sword, and Qi Yulian could naturally take advantage of the fisherman and devour the "essence" on the old ghost. In fact, this is also a win-win situation for me, since Qi Yulian is by my side to help me, then it is also beneficial for me to improve her own ability.

According to the black words on the road, even if this tomb is "knocked out" by me, although the coffin is huge, it can only hold a corpse after all.

Looking down at the peachwood sword with black dog blood on the sword, I smiled lightly and whispered, "I haven't lived up to this sword." โ€

Qi Yulian's "Jinghua", who had devoured the powerful ghosts, looked up at me, and didn't know what to say: "Who are you talking to?" โ€

"No one." I smiled lightly and continued to carry the peachwood sword behind my back, this time I could clearly feel the sense of security that the peachwood sword behind me brought me. This sense of security is completely different from the sense of security brought by the chicken blood cup or bronzing gourd, which is a sense of security and accomplishment linked to my own strength, which makes me feel more fulfilled and more confident.

According to the topographical map, there should be a small burial chamber after this burial chamber, and the small burial chamber is not large, that is, one-tenth of the large burial chamber. It is impossible to park the coffin in such a space, so it should be relatively safe in the small burial chamber.

Rouge Yaksha's preliminary judgment was that this small burial chamber might be a secret warehouse where the Shen family's treasures were hidden. And there are three other such "suspected warehouses", which is why the four of us are needed to go to the tomb this time.

According to the thinking of the ancient tomb builders, even if they wanted to hide the treasures of the Shen family in this doubtful tomb, they would definitely not simply bury the treasures. They're sure to lay a lot of suspicion and traps here.

Of these four "suspected warehouses", only one of them could be the ultimate destination where the Shen family's treasures were really stored, and the remaining three would definitely be deadly horror traps.

These are things that the Rouge Yaksha didn't tell me, but I can guess for myself, after all, these are old routines.

Looking up at the corridor connecting the large and small burial chambers, I began to hesitate whether to go in or not.

After being with me for so long, Qi Yulian already had a certain understanding of my thoughts, and seeing that I was a little hesitant, she immediately understood the crux of my heart: "Xiao Yang, are you worried that there is a trap in the small tomb?" โ€

I nodded slightly: "There is this possibility, you should know that we are here to find the treasure of the Shen family, right?" The Shen family's treasure is a rare treasure, and there is only one tomb in the entire doubtful tomb, and now we are targeting a total of four tombs, of which at most only one is a real treasure room, and the others are all deadly traps...... With a 25 percent chance of surviving, do you think it's worth it for me to go down and give it a try? โ€

Qi Yulian is obviously not good at this kind of analysis, she looked at me blankly, shook her head and said, "I can't say it, it's better for you to make your own decisions." โ€

I smiled, "Rouge Yaksha has been nice to me so far, but the reason is simple, that is, I still have some value for her now. After all, of the four people who went to the tomb this time, I was actually the one who had the least relationship with the Rouge Yaksha. Zijuan is her apprentice, naturally needless to say, He Dasong is her personal bodyguard, and she has always relied on the object, so after thinking about it, I am the most insignificant, and my life and death are the least concerned about her. โ€

Speaking of this, Qi Yulian's face changed, and she nodded, "You say that......

"When I say this, it's clear that only one of the four target chambers in the tomb is relatively safe, and the rest are all dangerous death traps. And this time the route was arranged by Rouge Yaksha herself, how would she arrange it? Of course, she kept the safest for herself, and the second safety for her cronies: Zijuan and Dasong. In this way, no matter how you analyze it, the most dangerous burial chamber will definitely fall on my head, right? โ€

Qi Yulian nodded lightly: "That's right, that's the truth." โ€

I sneered: "Since I have been assigned the most dangerous and least likely tomb where the Shen family's treasures are hidden, then why should I go in?" โ€

At this point, I turned around lightly and whispered to Qi Yulian: "Let's go, the big tomb outside is already enough to give Rouge Yaksha face, we won't go to this small tomb, now what we have to do is to go and see the results of other people's battles." โ€

In addition to my way, there are three other roads.

Among them, I definitely didn't have the guts to go over the rouge yaksha all the way, rouge yaksha has become a fox who has refined the immortals, but the path is still very deep, to say less for a thousand years, but it's not something that a small character like me can afford to provoke casually.

He Dasong and I had a tribulation, and he just saved my life last night, it doesn't make sense to bump into him, and besides, I may not be He Dasong's opponent, so naturally forget it.

The rest of the way, of course, is the purple juan. In terms of skill, in fact, this suave little girl is really above me, and she is not below me when it comes to conspiracy and trickery. But in this ancient tomb, sometimes in addition to trickery, there is also courage. I believe that a little girl who only dares to destroy my bronzing gourd with black hands will never take the opportunity to kill my courage. So even if I can't bargain under Zijuan's hands in the past, I will definitely be able to make a profit. What's more, I was also accompanied by a little female ghost Qi Yulian who had just devoured the red-eyed old ghost.

After searching for the topographical map that I had hidden in my head, I quickly returned to the starting point and made out the route of the purple cuckoo.

Along this route, you need to pass through a space that resembles a burial pit and a slender corridor.

Since it was a suspicious grave, there was naturally nothing in this burial pit, so I walked along the route and looked at it, and found that although there were many corpses in the pit, most of them were animal bones.

The road is long and deep, and the surrounding environment is also eerie, especially since the road is almost full of corpses. It can be seen from the clothing of these bones that most of them were tomb robbers who entered the tomb in later generations, and the age varies from the Qing Dynasty to modern times. I counted along the way, and there were 13 corpses on a 50-meter-long road (only skulls, so the actual number may be more), and there was an average of one dead person every 3 or 4 meters, which was really creepy.

In the depths of the corridor is the burial chamber that Zijuan has been assigned to, and it seems that this cannot be regarded as a burial chamber at all, but just the end of the corridor.

Before I reached the end, I never heard the sound of the purple cuckoo, which made me suspicious.

However, because I walked very slowly along the way, it was logical that I discovered another mystery about the road.

Different from the road I was assigned to, the previous road was carved with exquisite murals on both sides, and the area around the road was gorgeously decorated and full of handicrafts, but this road is simple and elegant, and even the walls are not decorated without any ornamentation, which is pitifully bland.

In sharp contrast, there were not many bones on the relatively luxurious road I walked on, only a lone skull hidden under the sculpture, and such a simple and mediocre road was full of corpses......

What does this mean?

The answer seems to be obvious.

As I pondered, I walked slowly, and as I reached the end of the corridor, I suddenly heard a low cry for help.

The voice was quite weak, and it seemed to come from another non-existent space, but I could still quickly recognize that it was the voice of the purple juan, and the purple juan that disappeared at the end of the corridor was most likely not really disappearing, but only found the entrance to another dimension.

Following the prestige, I found that a piece of floor at the end of the corridor was lifted, and the square floor was actually just the entrance to a tunnel, and the sound of the purple cuckoo came from it.

Because Zijuan has always been cunning and insidious, of course I wouldn't sneak in so easily because of her plea for help, looking back at Qi Yulian, who was a little dazed behind, I asked in a low voice: "Yulian, can you help me go down to see the situation, and make sure Zijuan doesn't find you?" โ€

Qi Yulian nodded slightly, and then her figure gradually spread in the darkness, and then completely turned into a black smoke.

About two minutes later, Qi Yulian's voice sounded in my ears: "Zijuan seems to have accidentally fallen into the tunnel, sprained her leg, and couldn't move. As for the situation down here...... It seems to be the burial chamber of an important person. โ€
