"Who said that? What did you hear?" A glint flashed in Xie Yuhua's eyes; he desperately hoped that the young man would discover the child's presence.

"Ling Xiao, what did he say?" the young man asked again.

After looking at the young man for a while, Jieyuhua briefly summarized Lingxiao's thoughts. After listening, the young man stared at the bowls and began to ponder.

Then I saw him move a few steps to the side and resolutely pick up one of the bowls.

After waiting for a long time and finding nothing had happened, he poured the copper coins into his palm.

Seeing his actions, Jieyuhua seemed to understand something and followed suit.

The two quickly took out all the copper coins from the bowl and distributed them methodically according to the amount Ling Xiao had instructed. Their movements were swift and precise, and in no time, they had distributed all the copper coins.

The stone statue trembled instantly, and the stones were pieced together one by one, forming a ladder that led directly to the back of the huge stone statue.

"They're behind! Blind man! Bring them up!" Xie Yuhua shouted before she and Xiao Ge went up the heavenly ladder first.

The ladder was incredibly narrow, barely wide enough for two feet to stand side by side. And because it was hastily pieced together using some unknown technology, it looked unstable and its weight-bearing capacity was uncertain. Worse still, there were no railings or safety equipment, and the grappling hooks weren't long enough to reach the other side. Therefore, the two of them could only cautiously probe their way across, little by little.

When they reached the middle, a slight tremor suddenly came from the stone steps, followed by a lot of falling pebbles. Fortunately, Xie Yuhua took a step back in time, which stabilized the stone steps.

The young man slowed down; the stone steps clearly couldn't bear much weight. Even with such caution, the steps still swayed noticeably, but there wasn't anything too serious.

Just as everything had settled down, a sudden gust of cold wind blew in unexpectedly. The wind was biting, making Xie Yuhua shiver.

"There must be something behind that. I can feel something attracting me. I don't want to go there, but it's pulling me in a way that's hard to control. But I can feel where you are now. Isn't that good news?"

"Little Flower Brother, why aren't you answering? Are you alright? It sounds dangerous here," Ling Xiao asked with concern.

"Will the wind affect you?" Xie Yuhua tightened the ropes binding Ling Xiao's body behind her.

"The Eight Directions Bronze Mirror, this is a place where souls are consumed," the young man said from the front.

"An octagonal bronze mirror?" Xie Yuhua was startled; he had heard of such a thing before. Some tomb owners enjoyed raising corpses and making puppets in life, creating servants for themselves in the afterlife. They would use an octagonal bronze mirror in an extremely dark place, reflecting it in the Kan position according to Feng Shui, facing the death hexagram, to consume the person's soul. However, this was no easy task. Not only did it require a great deal of time to prepare the necessary materials, but it also took at least twenty years to exhaust a person's soul. It was usually paired with a soul-locking object; otherwise, the loss of the soul might have a backlash.

Making such things usually damages one's karma and can affect reincarnation and offspring. So, such time-consuming and karma-damaging methods are rarely used anymore. But how could such a thing appear here?
