Chapter 603: Nine States Emperor, the Ancient Capital of Luoyang

It’s a pity that the old woman died, otherwise he might have been able to find out something.

He squatted down and stared at the map of mountains and rivers on the silk paper.

"The common ruler of the Nine Provinces is the Empress..."

"The place name on this map is 'Luoyang'?"

"Luoyang City?!"

Ye Bai looked up at the sky.

The night is dark, the stars are shining, and the moon is clear, shining on the nine moons in the sky.

Luoyang...the common ruler of the Nine Provinces?

"Luoyang is the most important sacred capital of Kyushu, with a long history. It is said to have been the capital during Kyushu's heyday and the most prosperous ancient capital of Kyushu."

The old man said weakly: "The ruler of Kyushu is Her Majesty the Queen..."

"Her Majesty..." Ye Bai murmured, "A female emperor?"

"Yes, she is the true ruler of Jiuzhou." The old man's voice became softer and softer, like a candle in the wind.

Ye Bai looked at her for a long while.

"Did you know you were going to die?"

The old woman closed her eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

The old woman still didn't respond.

Ye Bai sighed, took out a bloody heart from his arms and threw it to the old woman.

"Eat."

The old woman's face froze for a moment, then she took the heart and put it in her mouth and chewed it.

She swallowed the heart and lungs in one gulp, and the blood plasma soaked her clothes, as if it would explode at any time.

Ye Bai covered his nose and stepped back.

"you..."

As the old woman spat out her heart, her chest bulged and she let out a sharp roar.

Her skin shrank rapidly, blood gushed out of her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and faintly wriggling veins emerged under her skin.

The tip of the dagger pressed against the crack in the blue brick, and cinnabar meandered from the old woman's neck to the soles of Ye Bai's boots.

The bronze snake-shaped ring suddenly vibrated, and the nine bronze tripods surrounding the mysterious room began to buzz at the same time.

"This is the eighth time."

He raised his foot to crush the corpse-bugs crawling through the pool of blood, and the tip of the knife moved along the crescent-shaped scar on the old woman's abdomen.

The corpse suddenly twitched, and the subcutaneous veins wrapped around the dagger like living snakes, and star patterns appeared on the rusty bronze blade.

The Luoyang City on the silk paper suddenly oozed black blood.

Ye Bai tore open the old woman's collar, and the necklace made of three jade congs was burning scorch marks between her collarbones.

"Mangshan is my pillow, Luo River is my quilt..."

He dipped the blood of the corpse that had not yet solidified into writing on the ears of the tripod. The nine seal characters were swallowed up by the rust on the body of the tripod as soon as they took shape.

The bronze tripod in the northwest corner collapsed with a loud bang, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on its belly.

Ye Bai swung out the silver chain wrapped around his wrist and hooked it onto the beam, but he saw that what came out of the tripod was not burial objects, but moonlight as sticky as honey.

As the liquid silver light spread over the old woman's shriveled chest, it condensed into half of a broken star map.

"Want to revive a corpse?"

He sneered and plunged the dagger into the center of the star map.

The bronze ring suddenly bit through the fingertip, and at that moment the blood drop fell into the silver light, the floor tiles of the entire mysterious room began to surge like waves.

The rust on the surface of the Nine Cauldrons peeled off, revealing the densely packed oracle bone inscriptions on the inner layer, and each character was oozing with blood.

Fireflies suddenly burst forth from the old woman's hollow eye sockets, and her decaying vocal cords uttered a sound like metal clashing against stone: "At three quarters past midnight, the moon will be eclipsed."

Ye Bai suddenly tore off the jade necklace, and one of the pieces turned into a living jade silkworm, gnawing at the blood on his palm.

The twenty-eight constellations on the dome of the Xuanshi began to rotate clockwise, and black mist with a fishy smell seeped out from between the bricks.

"Pretend to be a ghost."

He tore off his blood-stained clothes to cover his mouth and nose, but found that the position of Luoyang City on the silk paper was bulging.

The city wall outlined with ink lines exuded cinnabar, and floating in the moat was actually one's own reflection.

The left hand of the reflection did not have a ring, but instead held a half-broken bronze sword.

The moment the silver chain stretched into a full bow, the fishy-sweet moonlight suddenly solidified into ice.

Ye Bai stared at the missing bronze ring in his reflection, and the dagger left an afterimage in his palm.

"Danglang"

The moment the tip of the blade hit the bronze tripod, the blood beads oozing from the cracks of the nails suddenly hovered in the air.

The brick waves surging on the ground suddenly collapsed into a whirlpool.

He staggered half a step and stepped on the old woman's ankle, which was still stiff, but found that fine silver threads were emerging from the cracks in the bricks that were seeping with cinnabar, weaving starlight along the cracks in the bronze tripod.

Green scales appeared on the places where the jade silkworm had gnawed, and the blood vessels under the skin were throbbing like snake tongues.

"Three quarters past ten..."

He chewed on the old woman's last murmurs, and the tip of the dagger picked up the half-solidified moonlight.

As the silver light flowed along the blade groove, it actually etched a miniature sand table of Luoyang city defense on the blue bricks.

The reflection in the moat suddenly raised its face, and the broken bronze sword pierced the water.

The nine tripods trembled at the same time.

On the inner wall of the overturned bronze tripod in the northwest corner, the blood oozing from the oracle bone inscriptions suddenly flowed back into lines, casting a red longitude and latitude on the star map on the dome.

Ye Bai tore open the collar of his clothes that was bitten by the jade silkworm. The crescent scar on his chest left three years ago was burning.

The shape was exactly the same as the scar on the old woman's abdomen.

"So you are the key."

He snapped the bronze ring with his fingers, and the snake-like pattern suddenly opened its green vertical pupils.

The black blood on the silk paper flowed over the word Luoyang, and a clear spring gushed out from the gap in the city wall, carrying the fragrance of peonies that should not be in a tomb.

The bronze ring suddenly made a sharp buzzing sound, and Ye Bai's left hand uncontrollably pressed on the crack of the fallen bronze tripod in the northwest corner.

The blood that oozed from the oracle bone script climbed up along the scaly lines and condensed into half a phoenix seal in his palm.

"A key fits the keyhole..."

Ye Bai stared at the bloodstain on his palm and suddenly tore open the hem of the old woman's clothes.

Three inches below the crescent scar, the dark blue phoenix tattoo was shedding its camouflage of corpse spots.

There was a muffled sound of bricks and stones shifting from the dome of the mysterious room, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the map of the twenty-eight constellations.

When Ye Bai swung away by pulling the silver chain, the fishy-sweet black mist had condensed into material tentacles, and the old woman's shriveled right hand suddenly grabbed his ankle.

"Three quarters past ten..."

The rotten vocal cords rubbed against each other to produce a sound of metal and stone.

"The moon is about to eclipse, and the nine tripods will ring."

Ye Bai turned around and stabbed the dagger into the corpse's crown, and sparks flew when the tip of the blade collided with the skull.

The jade silkworm suddenly emerged from between his fingers and frantically devoured the fireflies oozing from the old woman's eye sockets, its entire body turning from green to gold.

"You ate the tomb keeper's blinding sand?"

Ye Bai's pupils suddenly shrank, and the silver chain on his wrist twisted the jade silkworm by seven inches.

The silkworm's body suddenly exploded into golden powder, which condensed into a miniature projection of Luoyang City in the air. The position of the moat completely overlapped with the arrangement of the Nine Cauldrons.

The bronze tripod in the northwest corner suddenly shot out a blood-red beam of light, penetrating the cracks in the star map and shining on Ye Bai's chest.

The crescent scar had a bronze luster, and fine oracle bone inscriptions appeared under the skin.

He opened his clothes and stared at the changing words, then suddenly sneered, "So the Empress's gravekeepers all have Phoenix blood."

The silver threads in the cracks between the floor tiles suddenly stretched as straight as strings, and the nine bronze tripods shifted with a roar.

Ye Bai stepped on the Seven Star Steps to avoid the surging black fog.

The tip of the dagger picked up the cinnabar oozing from the old woman's neck and carved a mountain pattern on the ears of the tripod.

"The Kan position turns to the Li Palace, and the Zhen and Xun positions change to the Qian and Kun positions—"

As he stepped into the Yu Step and chanted an incantation, the rust spots peeling off the surface of the bronze tripod formed the Luoshu pattern in the air.

The gold powder transformed from the jade silkworm suddenly gathered into an arrow, pointing directly at the crescent scar on the old woman's abdomen.

Ye Bai pulled off the bronze ring and pressed it on the scar. The snake-like pattern suddenly came alive and swam into the corpse.

The subcutaneous tendons and veins bulged out like a swarm of snakes.
