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

This bronze tripod is very large and weighs ten kilograms.

If it were put on the market, I'm afraid it would cost at least ten billion to buy it.

But it was buried underground, which shows how precious it is.

"Could it be that……"

Ye Bai was shocked.

This is a magic cauldron for refining medicine!

"No, I must take it away!"

Ye Bai stretched out his hand, grabbed a corner of the bronze tripod, and tried his best to lift it up.

But despite his immense efforts, the bronze tripod remained as steady as a rock.

"I can't lift it!"

Ye Bai let go dejectedly.

He stood up and touched his stomach, feeling hungry.

"Eat first, and then think of a solution after you're full and satisfied."

Ye Bai found a secluded corner, squatted down, took out a small piece of bacon and started chewing it.

He ate very quickly, gobbling it up like a wolf. He was so hungry that he wanted to chew the bacon into pieces and swallow it.

After eating, he patted his chest, burped, and felt refreshed.

Ye Bai walked to the bronze tripod and observed it carefully.

He looked left and right, and always felt that this bronze tripod was a little weird.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

"I know how to move it."

He bent down, moved closer to the lid of the tripod, and looked at it carefully.

The "Map of Nine Provinces" in his memory was quite similar in shape to this bronze tripod.

Ye Bai pressed the groove under the bronze tripod, and the lid slowly rose.

He looked inside and saw a sword lying in the bronze tripod.

"So familiar..." he muttered to himself.

Suddenly he remembered the painting, and he quickly took out his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to copy the portrait.

"It really is the "Map of Nine Provinces"!" Ye Bai was extremely excited and immediately took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the portrait.

Then he put away the scroll and walked towards the bronze tripod.

The bronze sword body was covered in dark green rust, but the dragon pattern on the hilt was as smooth as new.

The moment Ye Bai reached out to hold it, the sound of a copper bell suddenly rang in his ears.

He suddenly withdrew his hand, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up - this was clearly the legendary "Soul-Calming Bell" in the tomb-robbing business.

"When a living person touches it, the soul bell will ring three times."

This sentence suddenly exploded in my mind.

Ye Bai took two steps back and bumped into the wall of the tripod. The muffled sound of bronze and bone colliding was particularly clear in the enclosed space.

He held his breath and counted his heartbeats until he was sure that the ringing had stopped before he dared to take a closer look.

There were two blood chalcedony stones embedded in the eye sockets of the Chilong on the hilt, glowing a strange red under the cold light of the mobile phone.

Ye Bai wrapped his right hand with the corner of his clothes and was about to try again when he suddenly heard a metallic scraping sound from the belly of the cauldron.

His whole body froze. Wherever the flashlight beam passed, the originally smooth wall of the tripod was covered with dense seal characters.

Those dark red runes squirmed like living things, crawling along the bronze lines towards the hilt.

Ye Bai suddenly remembered the small words at the corner of "Nine Provinces Map": "Blood stains appear, the gate of heaven opens."

He hurriedly took out the scroll he was copying, and just as his fingertips touched the rice paper, the entire bronze tripod suddenly shook violently.

"Oops!"

Ye Bai stumbled and fell to the bottom of the tripod, and the hilt of the bronze sword hit his ribs heavily.

As the fishy and sweet taste surged into his throat, he saw the lid of the tripod slowly closing at a strange angle.

The phone slipped from his fingers, and in the last ray of light, the blood-jade eyes of the Chilong on the hilt flashed at him.

At the moment when darkness swallowed everything, Ye Bai touched the raised hexagram on the hilt of the sword.

Qian three connected, Kun six broken - this is the opening hexagram of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams!

He ignored the pain and turned the blood chalcedony three times clockwise based on his memory.

The bronze tripod made a dull roar, and somewhere on the tripod wall suddenly collapsed, and rotten soil mixed with groundwater poured down on it.

Ye Bai was knocked against the wall of the tripod by the torrent, but he held the bronze sword tightly.

In the turbid water, he vaguely saw half a human skeleton exposed in the collapsed area.

The white finger bone was stuck between the gears of a mechanism.

It turns out that this bronze tripod is not a burial object at all, but a mechanism guarding the tomb door!

As the water flow slowed down, Ye Bai discovered that there were stone steps extending downwards at the bottom of the cauldron.

The surface of the stone steps was covered with mucus, emitting a faint bluish-purple glow under the remaining light from the cell phone.

He tore off his clothes to wrap around his injured ribs, put the bronze sword behind his waist, and groped his way down.

On the thirty-seventh step, the stench suddenly intensified.

Ye Bai stepped on something soft and when he shone his flashlight he saw a fresh corpse - judging by his attire, it was a member of the Luoyang Gang who had disappeared three months ago.

The corpse's right index finger was severed at the root, and the broken end was crawling with white maggots the size of rice grains.

Ye Bai used the tip of his sword to pry open the corpse's coat, and half a blood-stained map fell out of the inner pocket.

The route drawn in cinnabar on the parchment scroll actually completely coincided with a dark vein in the "Map of Nine Provinces".

He suddenly understood why this bronze tripod was valued at ten billion - it was the "Eight Directions State-Defending Tripod" cast by King Mu of Zhou during his eight steeds' parade.

What is hidden in the tripod is not burial objects, but the secret key to immortality in the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West.

There was a sound of rubble rolling overhead, Ye Bai turned off the flashlight and held his breath.

Two beams of dim yellow light pierced the darkness, and curses in Henan accents echoed in the corridor: "You bastard! You said there would be artifacts in the tripod, but in the end, there's only an empty shell left!"

"What's the rush? Didn't you see the cinnabar on the Luoyang shovel? There must be..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ye Bai heard the sound of metal breaking through the air.

This was followed by the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and a sharp blade cutting through flesh.

Cold sweat slid down his spine into the wound. Ye Bai clenched the bronze sword and slowly retreated.

Suddenly, he felt a depression somewhere in the stone wall, and inside was a bronze figurine.

The compass needle held in the palm of the figurine spun wildly and finally stopped at the Xun position.

He remembered the annotation in the "Jiuzhou Map" that "Xun represents wind, and it transforms when it meets water", and kicked the terracotta warrior's left knee hard.

The sound of mechanisms turning came from all directions, and the entire corridor began to tilt.

Ye Bai took the opportunity to roll into the side room that suddenly appeared, and his back hit the cold stone coffin.

Ancient symbols are engraved on the sarcophagus, emitting a faint blue light.

He sat against the wall, his legs bent in a horse stance, staring at the compass in front of him, waiting for the mechanism to stop.

Ye Bai felt a chill on his forehead, and the needle on the compass finally returned to normal.

He sighed softly.

Just then, he heard a sound of chaotic footsteps approaching.

He turned his head and saw five short men in black robes and masks walking in with oil lamps.

Their footsteps were chaotic and disorderly, obviously they were in a panic and had no idea where to go.

The leader glanced at the sarcophagus, then glanced at Ye Bai and asked, "You broke in too, didn't you?"

Ye Bai nodded.

The leader waved his hand, signaling the people behind to leave, and then waved to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai looked at him suspiciously and slowly moved in front of him.

"My name is Liu Zhiqiang, what's yours?"

The leader took off the brim of his hat.

Ye Bai recognized him. This was Liu Zhiqiang, whose life he had once saved. He had even left his business card for him.

Ye Bai briefly introduced himself.

Liu Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Follow me."

Ye Bai followed him and walked into the depths of the passage.

This is the secret room used by the owner of the underground palace when building the mausoleum. It is more luxurious than any I have seen before.

There are many murals hanging on the stone walls, all of which are depicting various strange and ferocious beasts.

Each one is lifelike and as ferocious as a living creature.
