"Then let's light these three will-o'-the-wisp candles?" suggested the fat man.

Yang Mi stopped him, saying, "That's inappropriate! This kind of thing is no joke. If you burn it wrong, it could cause a huge disaster!"

Ye Bai nodded approvingly. This girl was quite cautious.

"Brother Ye, why don't you try it first?" suggested the fat man.

Ye Bai also wanted to take the opportunity to practice, so he asked everyone to step back.

He formed a spell and chanted, "The Infinite Heaven and Earth Array, Nine Nines Return to One, Break!"

In an instant, three dark blue flames flew to the top of the ghost fire candle.

The flames leaped up and instantly lit up the three ghost fire candles.

The will-o'-the-wisp candle was ignited by the flame and burned rapidly, making crackling sounds.

"It's done!"

Everyone was pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect that they could really drive away the strange existence in the tomb.

"Let's go."

Ye Bai led the way out.

They walked to the stone gate. Ye Bai pressed his palm on the door panel and pushed hard, but found that he could not push it open no matter what.

There are several layers of confinement barriers on this stone door. If one does not have a high level of cultivation, it is impossible to break through it by force and can only be destroyed by violence.

Ye Bai frowned, formed seals with his hands, condensed his true energy and poured it into his arms, causing a loud explosion.

A sharp roar suddenly resounded through the tomb.

The stone door that was originally tightly closed slowly opened amidst the shock of this mighty power.

"Wow, there is a restriction on this door?!" exclaimed the fat man.

The stone door was open, and there was a passage in the center of the tomb.

Ye Bai led his men along the passage for a while, then stopped at a fork in the road and looked to the left.

He was confused, feeling that something was odd on his left side, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The road became narrower and narrower, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with luminous pearls. It was dim, damp and creepy.

After about a hundred meters, Ye Bai's eyes suddenly opened up and his vision became wider.

Looking around, Ye Bai suddenly felt his scalp tingling and cold sweat broke out.

He seemed to have come to a bloody world with corpses under his feet.

Each corpse maintained the posture before death, with eyes wide open and expressions of fear on their faces, as if they had experienced some horrific scene before death.

Ye Bai couldn't help but gasp. How many people died in this tomb?

Moreover, the cause of death of these people was very strange, and their death was similar to that of the female corpse in the sarcophagus.

Ye Bai became alert and walked carefully through the corridor and into the tomb.

In the center of the tomb was placed a huge sarcophagus, with the lid tightly fitted and airtight.

"Brother Ye, what should we do?"

"Move this sarcophagus away?" the fat man reminded.

"No."

Ye Bai shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since this tomb was built by humans, there must be some mechanism or secret compartment. Let's look for it."

Ye Bai led his men to look for the mechanism, but unexpectedly the entire tomb was bare and there was nothing inside.

"Is the mechanism hidden somewhere else?" the fat man asked doubtfully.

"No, the owner of this tomb should have known that he built it himself. Since he chose to build a stone chamber in the tomb, he must have had a backup plan."

Ye Bai looked solemn as he carefully examined every inch of soil and bricks around him, even moving away mud and sand and digging three feet into the ground.

He believed that there must be a secret compartment in the tomb, and that this secret compartment might contain a priceless treasure.

When Yang Mi saw Ye Bai's actions, she felt admiration in her heart.

Although she didn't quite agree with Ye Bai's judgment, she still cooperated with him and dug an underground passage.

Suddenly, Ye Bai stopped and looked at a pit in the corner of the tomb.

Deep in the pit was a pile of ashes.

This pile of ashes is slightly different from ordinary ashes. Its color is darker than ordinary ashes, indicating that it has been stored for a long time.

"This should be the bedroom of the tomb owner."

Ye Bai murmured, squatting down to pick up the ashes, holding them in his palm and examining them carefully.

"Look! Does this ashes look like paper?" Yang Mi asked curiously.

"It's really paper!" The fat man came over and took the paper.

Ye Bai sniffed lightly and his expression changed slightly.

"There's ink residue on the paper, and a hint of fragrance..."

"Brother Ye, you said there are words on this paper?" the fat man asked excitedly.

"Yeah." Ye Bai nodded and his eyes fell on Yang Mi beside him.

Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat and she became inexplicably nervous.

The fat man urged: "Brother Ye, tell us what you wrote?"

Ye Bai pointed at the words on it and said, "There are two pictures drawn on this paper. On the left is a short knife, and on the right are two people."

"Two people?" The fat man wondered and looked down at the contents on the paper.

"Ah! There are two skulls!" the fat man shouted.

"That's right, what is depicted here are two skull heads!" Ye Bai's tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard from it.

"This...this can't be the reflection of the burning will-o'-the-wisp candle on the paper?" The fat man's heart was pounding.

Ye Bai shook his head and said, "I suspect these two pictures represent some kind of prophecy!"

"Ah?" The fat man was surprised.

"I wonder if you have heard of the mystery of the curse?" Ye Bai asked back.

The fat man was stunned, then shook his head: "No."

"The owner of this tomb left these two pictures in the final stages of his life. Perhaps their purpose is related to the mystery of the curse."

"Is it so powerful?"

Ye Bai nodded and continued, "I analyzed two key words from these two pictures."

"One is a curse, the other is a change of fortune. These are two hexagrams that complement each other."

Fatty and Yang Mi looked at each other, both showing shocked expressions.

"Brother Ye is indeed very insightful! This kind of divination is hard to come by, I didn't expect to encounter it!" The fat man flattered him.

Yang Mi also echoed: "Our trip was not in vain, we finally gained something!"

The fat man said excitedly: "What are you waiting for? Let's find clues quickly!"

Several people searched in the tomb for a long time but found nothing.

"Forget it, let's go out."

"Okay." Ye Bai nodded.

"Hey, wait a minute." The fat man suddenly called out to the two of them.

"what happened?"

The fat man stared at the marks on the ground and frowned, saying, "There are footprints here!"

"Footprints?" Upon hearing this, Ye Bai immediately followed the footprints.

Soon, they saw scattered footprints on the ground.

Ye Bai followed the footprints and found that they finally disappeared in front of the stone platform.

Ye Bai walked onto the stone platform and found that the footprints extended to another open area.

This is an empty tomb, and the air is filled with a faint stench, which seems quite eerie.

"Brother Ye, look, it's here!" the fat man shouted.

Looking in the direction of the fat man's finger, I saw several pools of dried blood on the floor.

These few drops of bright red blood flowed on the dry stone slabs, shaped like a blooming lotus.

"Brother Ye, this blood seems familiar!" said the fat man.

Yang Mi's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Ye, does that blood look exactly like the two pieces of dead wood just now?"

Ye Bai's pupils shrank sharply. He stared at the blood for a few seconds and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"Almost right." Yang Mi replied.

The fat man rubbed his hands together and said with a grin, "Hehehe, I guessed there must be something strange here, otherwise why didn't those two siblings tell us such an important clue?!"

The fat man squatted down and prepared to pick up the blood for observation.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.
