Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

He turned his head to look at the side, Yang Mi and Fatty were still unconscious beside him, and seemed to have no signs of waking up.

"Oh, I'm so unlucky. I met a group of ghosts, a group of ghost insects, and a water ghost." Ye Bai sighed lightly.

Ye Bai stood up and checked his surroundings.

They were in a small tomb chamber whose walls were covered with strange symbols and patterns, and which emitted a faint stench of decay.

In the corner, a few torches flickered and could go out at any time.

They must find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise when the torches go out, they will fall into endless darkness, which will be even more dangerous.

He walked up to the fat man and slapped him on the face: "Fatty, wake up!"

The fat man groaned a few times and slowly opened his eyes: "Mr. Ye, where am I? Why do I feel like I was hit by a truck?"

"You can still joke, which means nothing serious is wrong." Ye Bai said unhappily, "Yang Mi and Xin Xin are still asleep. We have to find a way to get out of here."

The fat man struggled to sit up and looked at the two unconscious female stars. "Why haven't these two ladies woken up yet? Are they scared to death?"

At this moment, Yang Mi coughed lightly a few times and slowly opened her eyes. A hint of fear flashed through her eyes, but after seeing Ye Bai and the fat man, she calmed down a little: "Are we... still alive?"

"He's still alive for now, but the situation isn't good." Ye Bai answered as he helped Yang Mi up.

Xinxin also woke up at this time. When she saw the surrounding environment, she was so scared that she threw herself into the fat man's arms: "Fat brother, I'm so scared, I don't want to die!"

The fat man hugged Xinxin with an embarrassed look on his face: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With Mr. Ye here, we will definitely be able to get out."

Ye Bai ignored their fight and carefully observed the murals in the tomb.

He discovered that these murals seemed to be telling an ancient story, which might be inextricably linked to the secret of the ancient tomb.

"Look at these murals, they seem to be guiding something." Ye Bai said, pointing to the wall.

The fat man came over and looked at the strange patterns: "Mr. Ye, can you understand these things?"

"Well, I'm very interested in history and culture, so I've done some research. Although I'm not as good as the experts back home, at least I know a lot about it." Ye Bai explained calmly.

Yang Mi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Ye Bai, you're going to die if you don't brag. Do you know what the murals represent? They're the oldest and most primitive ancient writing in China. How dare you say you understand it?"

Ye Bai didn't bother to pay attention to her and continued to stare at the mural: "I think this mural should record some important clues."

The fat man also echoed, "Mr. Ye is right. Since this mural depicts the legend of the 'ghost soldiers', it must be related to this tomb. If I'm not mistaken, the owner of those 'ghost soldiers' should be buried in the tomb."

"Then let's go find it quickly." Yang Mi urged.

"Don't be impatient." Ye Bai waved his hand.

"This tomb isn't very big. The three of us have already walked around it. Apart from this table and these murals, there's nothing else."

"I guess the body is in a room deep inside the tomb, but it's filled with traps and requires a special key to open. I just tried, but the key wasn't there."

"Then let's go find the key." After saying that, Yang Mi took the lead and walked towards the stone platform on the other side.

Ye Bai and the fat man followed immediately.

There are two rows of candles on the stone platform, and on the top of each candle is a metal product with a very delicate shape.

"What is this?" Yang Mi asked puzzledly.

"The key!" the fat man exclaimed excitedly. "Could it be that the tomb's owner really has hidden that treasure deep inside the tomb? Haha, we're going to make a killing this time!"

Ye Bai frowned slightly: "These two candles look very ordinary, they don't look like useful keys."

Yang Mi glared at the fat man and asked in a cold tone, "Then tell me, what does the key look like? Show me a key."

The fat man shrank his neck: "I...I forgot."

Ye Bai looked to the other side and saw some oil lamps hanging on the wall. The wicks were burning brightly but they did not go out for a long time.

He walked over, took down an oil lamp, lit the wick, and restored the candle's light.

With the help of the faint light, Ye Bai observed the entire tomb.

Suddenly, he discovered something unusual.

That is the stone platform on the left, with a strange symbol carved on it, which looks like some kind of text.

He reached out and touched the symbol, feeling it was very rough.

"Hey, this looks like oracle bone script?" Ye Bai said with a frown.

The fat man came over and took a closer look, then shook his head. "No, it's not oracle bone script. I've never heard of any other way to write oracle bone script. Mr. Ye, do you know oracle bone script?"

Ye Bai shrugged: "I know a little bit."

"Then do you recognize the symbol engraved on it?" asked the fat man.

Ye Bai nodded: "Of course I know it. It's a '天' character."

Yang Mi was stunned when she heard this: "Oh my God?"

Ye Bai observed it carefully for a moment and said, "It is indeed the sky. This character is cast in brass, a very special material, and it definitely does not weigh more than 500 grams."

"This type of copper-cast "天" character was usually forged by craftsmen during the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, copperware production was high and manufacturing costs were low, so casting copper coins was very cheap."

"But after the Southern Song Dynasty, copper prices soared, casting technology improved, production costs became increasingly high, and casting costs became increasingly expensive. Especially after the Northern Song Dynasty, the price of copperware skyrocketed several times, and the casting cost reached an outrageous level, so casting copper coins became increasingly expensive."

After a pause, Ye Bai continued, "It's not just the casting cost. There's a more serious problem—the high casting cost has led to the smelting technology becoming increasingly backward."

"The so-called 'steel-cast copper coins' have long since disappeared in the torrent of history. The existing copper coins are all cast from copper embryos, smelted after forming, and then cut with bronze knives."

The fat man was stunned. Yang Mi was equally shocked. "You even know this? You really are a top student!"

Ye Bai chuckled: "I only know the basics."

Yang Mi said disdainfully: "Stop pretending."

Ye Bai didn't want to continue paying attention to her. He turned to look at the fat man and said, "Fatty, look at this plaque. It has four ancient seal characters engraved on it: 'Emperor's Palace'. This should be the name of this tomb."

"That should be it." The fat man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then asked, "Mr. Ye, do you know that there is another tomb behind this stone slab?"
