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

Her palms were already covered in cold sweat.

The weight of the Luoyang shovel in his hand seemed to have suddenly increased by more than ten times.

Ye Bai's ears moved slightly.

He suddenly squatted down and turned the flashlight to the lowest brightness, casting only a faint halo of light on the wall.

"Walk against the wall."

He lowered his voice: "Follow me closely."

The two of them moved slowly along the wall, their footsteps deliberately made quieter, but they were still very obvious in the silence.

The rustling sound grew closer, accompanied by a strange, wet panting sound.

Yang Mi's back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

Her fingers gripped the saber handle tightly, leaving deep marks on her palms.

"rustle--"

The sound was only five or six meters away from them.

"careful!"

Before Ye Bai finished his reminder, Yang Mi was already prepared to deal with any danger.

"what--!"

The shrill screams cut through the long night, shaking the beams so hard that dust fell off.

Ye Bai and Yang Mi dodged quickly.

When they looked up, they found that the pine tree where they had been hiding had been cut in half.

"What is it!"

Yang Mi covered her chest, feeling unspeakable panic.

Ye Bai did not answer immediately.

He squinted his eyes and listened attentively.

It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the wind rustling through the treetops.

"I sense no living thing."

Ye Bai's tone was steady, but a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead, and he even forgot to wipe it off.

"How do you know he's dead?" Yang Mi asked puzzledly.

Ye Bai shook his head.

The situation just now was too dangerous. If we made any mistake, we would be doomed.

He just relied on his intuition gained over the years.

Ye Bai put the pistol back into his waist and entered the secret room again to look for a way out.

Yang Mi hesitated for a few seconds and followed his steps.

This corridor is very long, more than thirty meters.

The two of them passed through the secret passage, and the view before them suddenly opened up.

This is a huge arc-shaped square with various complex symbols carved on the rock walls on all four sides.

Some look like ancient witchcraft patterns or hieroglyphs.

"Where is this place?" Yang Mi looked at the scene in surprise.

"This is..." Ye Bai's pupils suddenly shrank as he recognized a portrait.

When Yang Mi saw the painting, her face turned pale instantly.

According to ancient books, this place is located in the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, where the Nine Cauldrons cast by her and her lover are buried.

"Isn't this another tomb?"

Yang Mi asked in a trembling voice.

"Well, it shouldn't be wrong."

Ye Bai's expression was a little serious.

"The burial objects in the Nine Dragon Coffin are all very precious. For example, the gold and jade tripod itself is priceless, not to mention the thousands of other cultural relics."

"How could so many treasures suddenly disappear?"

Yang Mi gnashed her teeth, her teeth itching with hatred: "I must find out the mastermind behind this and skin him alive!"

"Don't be impulsive, let's go look for it first." Ye Bai comforted her.

The two walked around the arc-shaped square, but found nothing.

"That shouldn't be the case. Did they move away?" Yang Mi was confused.

She thought of a possibility: "I guess they must have discovered these treasures and secretly transported them away while we were not paying attention."

"I would rather believe that they ate up the property."

"..."

Yang Mi was silent for a moment, then asked, "What should we do now?"

"Let's go look for other places and find an exit as soon as possible to avoid getting into danger." Ye Bai held Yang Mi's wrist and walked forward.

His steps were firm and powerful, and he seemed unaffected.

Yang Mi's eyes followed his figure, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.

She couldn't help but touch the half chain exposed at her collar, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Let's go to the other side."

Ye Bai continued to walk deeper into the secret room, with Yang Mi following closely beside him.

The two walked about seven or eight meters and finally found an empty stone chamber.

This is a stone altar, surrounded by four huge stone pillars.

There are many hideous and terrifying statues of evil spirits entwined on it.

"This is a place for sacrifice. Those evil spirits are the sacrifices, and they are enshrined here." Ye Bai said, "These guys are living sacrifices."

"Living sacrifice?" Yang Mi was stunned for a moment.

"I also heard it from the villagers. They said that during the Western Han Dynasty, priests would perform human sacrifices, offering livestock and humans as sacrifices to evil gods."

"Who is the evil god?"

she couldn't help but ask.

Ye Bai did not answer, but instead cast his gaze on a stone box placed in the center.

The box was opened, and inside lay a crystal emitting a turquoise glow.

"What is this?" Yang Mi's eyes widened. "So beautiful!"

The shape of the crystal is very special, like a huge piece of amber.

There are countless insect eggs in the amber, and the colors are bright and strange.

Ye Bai reached out and touched the crystal, and immediately felt his head buzzing.

The crystal contained such strong negative emotions that it almost made him faint on the spot.

Yang Mi was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Bai shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay. Let's go first."

Yang Mi nodded and followed him out of the stone chamber.

The moment the stone door closed, the two heard a loud bang.

They ran into the passage quickly and looked back to find that the stone door was slowly closing.

"What's going on?" Yang Mi asked in surprise.

"It seems there's something wrong with these stone pillars," Ye Bai stared at them with a frown. "This material is very rare. There might be some kind of mechanism."

Yang Mi was worried.

The two looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes.

"How about we go back and try again?" Yang Mi suggested.

She didn't know whether this secret passage could lead to the ground, so she just took a gamble.

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and agreed to her suggestion.

The two walked back cautiously.

They were lucky enough not to fall into a trap, but when they returned to their original location, they found that the secret passage had been sealed and could no longer be opened.

Yang Mi tried various methods, but to no avail.

"How to do?"

She was a little anxious.

Ye Bai didn't say anything, just stared at the top of the secret passage.

"This door definitely can't be closed. We can only think of other ways."

"What else can I do?"

Ye Bai suddenly bent down and picked up a speck of dust from the soil.

He examined the ash carefully, then tapped the floor with his fingers.

Click click click...

The floorboards were pounded loudly, but they remained motionless.

Yang Mi was anxious: "Stop knocking, think of a solution!"

Ye Bai turned around and knocked on the wall with his fingers: "Try hitting it with your fist."

Yang Mi did as she was told.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

She pounded the wall hard, making a crisp sound.

Ye Bai was watching from the side and suddenly asked, "Do you think this wall is hard?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi increased her strength and beat him hard.

The sound of banging spread throughout the secret passage.

Ye Bai said, "You can't break it open with brute force."

After he said that, he took out a dagger from his bag and stabbed it into the crevice of the stone with all his might.

The dagger pierced the stone wall, sinking deep into it, leaving only the hilt and blade exposed.
