Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

The downward-sloping tunnel was not only very deep, but the soil on both sides was also very compacted. At the bottom, it tilted slightly to the left by several tens of degrees, just around several rocks used to block the tunnel.

As the saying goes, "The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details."

The way this tomb was dug is beyond professional.

It seems Chen Yibai was right after all. The people from the Heavenly Path Society didn't find this place using the conventional method of locating auspicious burial sites; otherwise, they wouldn't have found it eight days earlier than him.

After going down more than 20 meters, the bottom was a huge rock.

A crack was cut in the middle of the rock, which appears to have been created by first using gunpowder to blast the crack and then carving it out with tools.

The narrow slit, due to the explosion of gunpowder, looks dark and resembles an abalone.

This is the real tomb door sealing stone.

Because there was no other way around it, they chose to blast a crack through the middle.

Chen Yibai took a deep breath, tried his best to pull in his stomach and lift his buttocks, and squeezed down into the crevice of the rock.

If you gain even a little more weight, your body will probably get stuck.

After passing through the rock crevice, there are still about seven or eight meters below, which means you've truly reached the bottom.

Chen Yibai put away the rope and looked around warily.

This is a very large karst cave, which looks somewhat similar to the Kangwang Tomb below Qishan Mountain.

To be precise, they should be the same type of tomb.

Using natural mountain caves to build tombs is not only time-saving and labor-saving, but also allows for large-scale construction!

However, unlike the Kangwang Tomb in Qishan, this underground mountain cave is almost entirely natural. It is a cylindrical shape with a width of more than five meters and a height of seven or eight meters on both sides, with strangely shaped stalactites hanging overhead. There are no obvious signs of artificial excavation.

That's normal, after all, the Qishan Kangwang Tomb is the result of decades of effort and the resources of the entire nation.

The Tu Xing Si (土行司) existed for less than ten years in total.

Closer to home.

Chen Yibai took out the Yin-Yang Bagua compass, and the magnetic needle in the Tianchi was constantly vibrating and rotating clockwise.

The tomb is located in the very center of the 'Eight Evil Spirits of the Underworld'.

Chen Yibai is currently in this situation, which is equivalent to having evil influences in all eight directions.

The character 煞 originally meant an evil spirit, and also referred to disaster.

Furthermore, there are many types of evil influences, including physical evil influences, light evil influences, smell evil influences, sound evil influences, and yin evil influences, etc.

For example, 'Yin Sha' refers to a place with excessive Yin energy that is further afflicted by evil influences. Yin Sha is a place where corpses are said to rise.

For example, "light sha" is the evil energy caused by inappropriate light shining in, which can also kill people and bring disaster.

Chen Yibai is currently in the very center of the cave, with paths on both the left and right sides.

Normally, one can determine the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the eight gates to find the gate of life and the location for placing the coffin.

However, the terrain of the 'Eight Killings of the Underworld' is special, meaning that all eight directions are extremely inauspicious.

The Gate of Death is ominous, and so is the Gate of Life.

On another note, Chen Yibai's purpose in coming here to find the tomb owner and the coffin was only one aspect.

More importantly, we need to confront their Southern School of Heavenly Path Society.

Therefore, we should follow the path of their Heavenly Path Society.

Chen Yibai then carefully examined both sides.

Fortunately, Chen Yibai not only has night vision, but his normal eyesight is also quite good. He spotted an empty Red Bull bottle in the rubble on the left at a glance.

It seems they went to the left.

Littering is a sign of a complete lack of manners.

In these eight days, no one knows how tense the Heavenly Path Society has become.

Without any hesitation or delay, Chen Yibai immediately and quickly moved to the left.

There are only two possibilities for the Skywalker Society members to stay here for eight days.

First, this mysterious Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb is much larger than imagined, and the Heavenly Path Society has not yet found the main tomb coffin.

Secondly, something difficult has happened.

Of these two possibilities, the latter is more likely.

However, Chen Yibai walked for about two kilometers in this cave and still couldn't see the end.

It wasn't until about half an hour later that the cave began to turn.

And after turning the corner.

The scene that appeared before his eyes instantly invigorated Chen Yibai.

Before him stretched an endless expanse of land. Even with his night vision, Chen Yibai couldn't see the edge. It didn't feel like he was in a cave at all; it felt like he had been transported to another world.

A real underground world!

What shocked Chen Yibai even more was that in this vast and boundless land, among the crevices of the piles of rocks, there were also fiery red flowers blooming. The petals were as brilliant and bright red as blood, and they clustered together, like a red sea of ​​blood.

In the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, a winding path paved with bluestone, more than a meter wide, stretches out, like a sheep's intestines, its destination unknown.

"The other side of the flower!"

Chen Yibai recognized it at a glance: the sea of ​​flowers, as brilliant and crimson as blood, was the red spider lily!

The red spider lily is also called Manjusaka.

Legend has it that the red spider lily only blooms in the underworld, and is the welcoming flower on the other side of the River of Oblivion. It looks like a carpet of blood, covering the road to hell.

The red spider lily is also the only flower in the underworld. Its fragrance has a magical power that can awaken the memories of the deceased from their past life. When the soul crosses the River of Oblivion, it forgets everything from its previous life...

Red spider lilies, the road to the underworld!

What I see before me is exactly the same as the legend!

This even made Chen Yibai wonder for a moment if he was already dead, standing on the other side of the River of Oblivion, walking towards the Yellow Springs leading to hell!

"But I'm not dead yet!"

Chen Yibai quickly calmed himself down and forced his mind to stay clear.

The folk tales about the road to the underworld and the red spider lily might just be made up based on reality.

After all, someone may have been here, but it's absolutely impossible for someone to have walked through the Yellow Springs and then bring back the real Yellow Springs Hell and tell it all again.

They come, the security!

Looking at the boundless sea of ​​red spider lilies before him, Chen Yibai was shocked, but he didn't hesitate much. He directly grasped the crimson ancient sword in his hand and stepped onto the 'Road to the Underworld' that was specially paved with bluestone bricks in the sea of ​​flowers.

Chen Yibai wasn't sure where this road led, but it felt like some kind of guidance.

Could it really be a path to 'hell'?

An endless sea of ​​blood-red flowers.

A winding and tortuous road to the underworld.

Standing alone in it, the further you walk, the more you feel like you're being slowly swallowed up by a sea of ​​blood-red flowers...

Are they going to rob a tomb, or are they rushing to be reincarnated?

Fortunately, Chen Yibai had seen his share of big scenes and had a strong enough mental fortitude; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure of such a terrifying scene.
