Chapter 399: The Gate of Life and Death, How to Choose

Ye Bai stared at the small characters, his brows furrowed, his expression growing more solemn as he muttered, "To decipher the Yin-Yang Curse, one must search for the secrets of the Nine Netherworlds. Within the Gate of Life and Death, one must find a spiritual connection."

The fat man beside him came over, scratched his head, and looked puzzled: "Brother Ye, what does this mean? It sounds creepy. Is this another deadly trap?"

Yang Mi also came over tremblingly, staring at the line of words.

Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Brother Ye, there are so many weird things happening in this tomb. Should we leave? I'm so scared."

Ye Bai ignored them and gently stroked the line of small words with his fingers.

After pondering for a moment, he turned and looked at everyone with a firm gaze: "This may be the clue to unlocking the ultimate secret of this ancient tomb, and the key to the second half of the Yin-Yang technique."

"Now that we've come this far, there's no reason to give up halfway."

"But from now on, everyone must be more careful. This is a matter of life and death, and we cannot make any mistakes."

The female stars looked at each other, their faces full of fear and hesitation.

But seeing Ye Bai so confident, he could only bite his lip and nod reluctantly.

Her heart was pounding. She held Yang Mi's hand and whispered, "Sister Mi, why do I feel like I'm really going to risk my life this time? I shouldn't have come to this damn place just for the sake of popularity."

Yang Mi patted Xinxin's hand and said calmly, "Don't be afraid. Brother Ye is here. He's very capable."

"I've made it through so many dangerous challenges before, so I'm sure I can do it this time too."

Although she said so, her palms were full of cold sweat and she tightly grasped the corner of her clothes.

Several people kept looking at the dark stone walls around them, fearing that some horrible thing would appear again.

Ye Bai walked slowly along the wall of the tomb, stroking the remaining fragments of "The Secret Records of Yin and Yang" in his hand, trying to find some clues between the lines that would correspond to the hints on the wall.

He paused, his gaze fixed on a corner of the stone wall where the pattern was slightly different from other places.

The lines there seemed to rise and fall in a regular pattern, like the secret lock of some ancient mechanism.

"Fatty, come here, give me a hand and pry this open for me."

Ye Bai shouted. The fat man hurried over and together with Ye Bai, they used tools to pry the stone wall with great effort.

With a series of "creaking" sounds, the stone wall slowly moved away, revealing a deep and dark hole.

A foul and stale wind blew in, making everyone cover their noses.

"Brother Ye, isn't there a more powerful evil hidden in here?"

The fat man swallowed and subconsciously shrank back.

Ye Bai didn't respond, but took out a high-intensity flashlight from his backpack and shone it into the cave.

There were only tiny dots of light on the cave wall, similar to the light of mica ore.

It reflects that deep in the cave there seems to be an ancient, heavy stone door engraved with runes.

The words "life" and "death" are engraved on the left and right sides of the door respectively, with flowing light and exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"It seems that this is the 'Gate of Life and Death', but I don't know how to choose." Ye Bai whispered.

At this moment, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was scrolling wildly.

"Anchor, choose Shengmen. The name sounds auspicious!"

"No, in a place like this, if you go the other way, the dead end might be the way out."

There are all kinds of messages.

Yang Mi glanced at the screen and shouted, "Brother Ye, netizens are divided on different opinions. What should we do?"

Ye Bai stared at the stone gate and pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered the theory of yin and yang balance and the interdependence of life and death mentioned in "The Secret Records of Yin and Yang".

An idea came into his mind, and he stretched out his hands and pressed the words "life" and "death" at the same time, exerting all his strength to push.

The stone door opened slowly, making a dull sound and raising a cloud of dust.

Everyone carefully walked into the space behind the stone door. It was empty except for a stone platform in the center.

There was a crystal clear crystal ball placed on the stage. There seemed to be smoke inside the ball, and some blurry images were faintly visible.

It's like images of past memories are flashing.

Ye Bai approached the crystal ball and was about to touch it when the fat man shouted, "Brother Ye, be careful, there's a scam!"

Ye Bai nodded slightly, took out a talisman to ward off evil spirits and stuck it on the surface of the crystal ball.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he gently held the crystal ball.

In an instant, smoke billowed inside the ball, and clear images flooded into Ye Bai's mind.

It tells the whole process of an ancient Yin-Yang master using Yin-Yang magic to seal the evil spirits, showing many exquisite techniques and spell tricks.

Ye Bai was ecstatic, this was actually the key inheritance of the second half of the long-lost Yin-Yang technique!

But before he could comprehend it, the tomb suddenly shook violently.

Stones fell from above, and cracks appeared on the ground. Wisps of black mist emerged from the cracks, transforming into hideous ghost faces, and rushed towards everyone with a roar.

"Oh no! The mechanism has been triggered and the evil spirit is attacking!"

Ye Bai shouted loudly and waved the peach wood sword. The golden light bloomed again, protecting everyone.

Xinxin was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hid behind Yang Mi and cried out, "Brother Ye, please think of a solution quickly!"

Yang Mi also looked anxious as she helped Ye Bai use the simple tools in her hands to resist the ghost face's attack.

The fat man suddenly had an idea and took out a few ancient coins he had picked up in the tomb passage from his backpack and threw them at the ghost faces.

Oddly enough, when the ancient coin touched the ghost face, it made a sizzling sound, and the ghost face seemed to be burned and dissipated a little.

"Hey, Brother Ye, this thing works!"

The fat man shouted excitedly.

Seeing this, Ye Bai had an idea. He remembered that most ancient coins were made of copper, which is yang and can restrain evil spirits. He immediately ordered everyone: "Throw away all the metal objects on you, quickly!"

Everyone took out keys, jewelry and other metal objects and threw them at the ghost face.

Sure enough, the effect was immediate.

The ghost faces suffered severe damage, became dim and weak, and eventually disappeared into the tomb.

Yang Mi and the others heaved a sigh of relief, feeling weak all over, and collapsed on the ground.

Ye Bai retracted the Golden Money Sword and scolded with a smile, "Look at how cowardly you are. You can't even defeat ghosts. How are you going to survive in the future?"

"Bah... who the hell is afraid of it!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's just a ghost, right? I'll just chop it off with my sword."

The fat man rolled up his sleeves and prepared to continue fighting.

Yang Mi glared at the fat man and complained, "You're the only one who's always bothering me!"

"Tsk, I'm just being helpful, understand?"

The fat man pouted.

"Brother Ye, where's the stone coffin? Let's get it out!"

"No hurry, let me observe it again."

Ye Bai raised his eyes and looked around, then suddenly asked Fatty: "Fatty, where is the treasure you found earlier?"

The fat man was startled, then took out the package and handed it to him: "Here, put it in this package."

Ye Bai opened the package and examined it carefully.

"Hey, what is this?"

Inside the package lay three candles, of simple shape, pitch black, carved with intricate patterns, and quite old.

The fat man chuckled and said proudly, "This thing is called a ghost fire candle. It is said that it was used by ancient Yin-Yang masters during sacrifices. I guess there must be some evil spirit in this tomb, otherwise it would not be arranged like this."

"Yeah, it's really intimidating." Ye Bai nodded.
