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

Chapter 542: Ancestral Jade Pendant, Don’t You Still Believe in Me?

Ye Bai couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Although these carvings are lifelike, their expressions are all the same.

He guessed that it must be related to the mood of the tomb owner.

Liu Zhiqiang walked to a thick bronze stone door, turned the handle and opened it.

Ye Bai's eyes widened in surprise: "How could it be a trapdoor?! Is there someone else buried here?!"

Liu Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. This is a secret room."

"When the tomb robbers dug this place up, they didn't take anything away. Instead, they destroyed the mechanism, which allowed me to discover its secret."

He pushed open the iron door of the secret room.

Ye Bai followed him in and felt a chill rushing towards him.

The flagstone floor was covered with thick moss, which creaked when stepped on.

He looked around the chamber, his eyes passing over the lifelike sculptures on the bronze walls.

Soon I saw two large blue bricks piled in the corner of the wall, with weeds growing in the cracks between them.

Ye Bai frowned and picked up a brick. The surface of the brick was bumpy.

"Is there anything special about this brick?"

Ye Bai asked.

"Its function is exactly the same as the burial object in the tomb. Unfortunately, it is completely damaged, and the mechanism inside has long been worn away by time."

Liu Zhiqiang explained.

Ye Bai sighed, "I originally thought I could find a treasure. I didn't expect it, alas..."

"This ancient tomb is huge and full of traps. If I hadn't led the way, you would probably never have found it."

He paused and said, "I brought you here because I needed this thing."

Ye Bai saw him spread out one hand, and on his palm lay a green jade pendant.

"Bronze Sword Box!"

Ye Bai blurted out.

Liu Zhiqiang nodded and said, "I know. This is what I'm looking for."

Ye Bai was stunned for a second: "Are you looking for a bronze sword box from the Qin Dynasty?"

"Yes. My family has been searching for bronze sword cases for generations, but I've never heard of anyone owning one. Even many antique dealers have fake bronze sword cases in their collections."

He handed the jade pendant over and said, "Take it."

Ye Bai hesitated whether to answer the call, after all, the other party's origin was unknown.

Liu Zhiqiang seemed to know what he was worried about and said, "Don't forget, I'm from Luoyang. Besides, this is an heirloom. No one knows how to use it except me."

"Study it for a while, maybe it can help."

Ye Bai took the jade pendant hesitantly and said, "Aren't you afraid that I might secretly take it away and run away?"

Liu Zhiqiang laughed: "I believe you."

"Why?"

"Because you're a smart guy."

Liu Zhiqiang patted Ye Bai on the shoulder and said, "You are not the kind of person who is blinded by money."

Ye Bai smiled but said nothing.

The two continued to explore along the way.

Not long after, Ye Bai found two more tombs.

This time they still found nothing. However, Liu Zhiqiang found some words engraved on a door.

【Underground Palace】

Liu Zhiqiang muttered it to himself and asked Ye Bai, "What do you think this underground palace is used for? Why do I always feel a sense of gloom?"

"It is said to be a mausoleum dedicated to the emperor's final resting place after death."

Liu Zhiqiang's expression changed slightly: "Is this true?"

Ye Bai said, "Look carefully, the characters above are in seal script. They can't be forged."

The two continued forward and found several more tombs.

On the stone tables in the middle of these tombs are exquisite porcelain bottles filled with various potions.

Some of them were still emitting hot mist.

Ye Bai tried to take a drop, and it melted instantly, turning into a pool of transparent gelatinous solution.

A sense of awe rose in his heart, and he asked, "What are these things used for?"

"This is poison."

Liu Zhiqiang said: "Apply it on weapons or armor, and even the most skilled and invulnerable warrior will feel numb all over if he gets a drop on it."

Ye Bai looked at him in surprise. This man was too scary.

Unknowingly, I reached the end.

At the end was a spacious stone hall with two rows of huge bronze boxes in the center.

Each bronze box was half-closed and locked.

Ye Bai took a closer look and said, "It's so heavy, it's hard to pry it open..."

"No need to exert any effort, just smash it open."

Liu Zhiqiang reached out and pressed the lid of the bronze box, and the lid moved away with a bang, revealing the bottom.

At the bottom was a pitch-black hole.

Ye Bai asked: "What's in here?"

Liu Zhiqiang said, "I don't know, but it's definitely related to those burial objects. Let's go down."

He bent down and crawled into the dark cave, with Ye Bai following closely behind.

The air in the cave was hot and humid, and the ground was covered with dust.

Ye Bai followed Liu Zhiqiang halfway up the mountain when he suddenly heard a rustling sound.

He looked in the direction of the sound and vaguely saw something wriggling in the soil not far away.

He held his breath and approached cautiously.

Liu Zhiqiang seemed to sense something, turned around suddenly, and stabbed at him with the short spear in his hand.

Ye Bai was startled and dodged to the side.

He retreated, and Liu Zhiqiang's short spear stabbed into the mud against his chest.

"you……"

Ye Bai looked at him in shock.

"Feel sorry."

Liu Zhiqiang apologized in a low voice, "I just sensed danger."

Ye Bai said: "There are indeed living corpses among these corpses."

Liu Zhiqiang nodded and said, "I suspect they are guardians."

He pointed to the bronze boxes and said, "Look, they are perfectly preserved. They haven't been damaged in any way. Not even a bit of the dirt has fallen off."

Ye Bai suddenly realized and said, "I understand. They are using the bones to guard something."

Liu Zhiqiang said: "That's right. Those burial objects are burial objects, but there are definitely more than that."

He squatted down and opened the lid of a bronze box.

Inside lay a pearl the size of an egg, crystal clear and flowing with a dreamy rainbow-like luster.

He held the pearl in his hand and said to Ye Bai, "I know you need this."

"You saved my life, so I promise to give you one as a reward."

Ye Bai stared at him blankly, then suddenly laughed: "Liu Zhiqiang, you are an out-and-out profiteer."

Liu Zhiqiang touched his head and said awkwardly, "I was forced to do this..."

He stood up and said, "Wait here for me, and I will give you the pearl later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mud under his feet suddenly cracked. Liu Zhiqiang hurriedly dodged and the mud fell down.

He raised his leg and kicked over a porcelain bowl filled with potion. The porcelain fragments splashed onto Ye Bai and cut his skin.

He groaned in pain.

Liu Zhiqiang rushed over to support him: "Brother Ye, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ye Bai gasped, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Liu Zhiqiang checked his injuries and saw that they were not serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Bai wiped the blood off his face and suddenly said, "Something's wrong. Didn't you just open the coffin?"

"Where's the body inside?"

Liu Zhiqiang also noticed something unusual and looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a wooden box on a pillar in the corner of the wall.

There is a peony flower engraved on the box, with its petals blooming and its stamens bright red.

He walked up and opened the wooden box, only to find a skeleton inside.

Ye Bai's expression changed slightly. He moved the dry bones away from the pillar and knocked on them gently.
