271: The judgment should be left to the experts; this stone coffin is no ordinary object.
"Look carefully!" Ye Bai pointed to one of the stone coffins and said, "This stone coffin is not one that has been frozen for a thousand years. It should be a stone coffin used to store the heat inside the outer coffin. This stone coffin has temperature."
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked to hear this and hurriedly leaned in to check, then exclaimed one after another: "It really has temperature."
"This stone coffin is definitely not frozen; it is very well preserved."
"It stores the heat from inside the outer coffin? How is this possible?"
"Could it be that an ancient powerhouse is buried inside?"
...
After a moment of silence, Ye Bai suddenly picked up a piece of rubble and threw it at one of the stone coffins.
Thwack!
The rubble landed on the surface of the stone coffin, making a crisp sound, and then bounced off.
"It really reacted!" Ye Bai's eyes suddenly lit up: "This stone coffin really has a mechanism. There is a groove at the bottom of this stone coffin!"
"Brother Ye, hurry up and open this stone coffin."
"Yeah, Brother Ye. I'm dying of curiosity!"
"Don't rush, I'll crack it open right away." Ye Bai smiled slightly, then crouched down and began to dismantle the parts on the stone coffin.
Everyone held their breath, eyes wide open, anticipating a miracle.
Ye Bai nimbly dismantled the parts on the stone coffin.
Afterward, he took out a coin, inserted it into a small hole at the top of the stone coffin, and turned it hard. With a click, the Coffin Lid slid open a crack.
"It's open!" Seeing this, everyone cheered immediately.
Ye Bai pushed the Coffin Lid aside, revealing the items inside. He saw many wooden boxes placed within. And on those wooden boxes, yellow talismans were pasted.
"This should be some kind of Seal Talismanic Incantation or protective Talismanic Incantation."
Ye Bai lightly touched the yellow talisman and immediately felt a huge resistance, preventing him from moving forward.
Ye Bai applied force again, and a piece of the yellow talisman was torn off, revealing a space half a meter long. Immediately after, Ye Bai tore off all the remaining Talismanic Incantations.
The space inside the stone coffin suddenly grew larger. Ye Bai stood up and looked around, discovering that there were nine levels inside the stone coffin, each three meters high and about six meters wide.
"What exactly is inside here?" Everyone became curious.
After scanning a few times, Ye Bai said: "I don't know what's inside either. But since this stone coffin exists, there must be important items inside! Let's make a concerted effort to pry this stone coffin open!"
"Alright!" Everyone was eager to try, wishing they could rush into the stone coffin immediately to look for treasures.
Ye Bai was the first to walk into the stone coffin, and then he closed the Coffin Lid.
Bang!
The Coffin Lid fell!
"Brother Ye, how is it? Are there any treasures inside?" the audience in the Live Stream Room asked impatiently.
Ye Bai shook his head: "There's nothing inside, except for a few pieces of yellow paper and some dried straw."
"So shabby?"
"This won't do."
"What are these yellow papers for?"
Everyone was full of suspicion and gathered around, wanting to see what exactly was inside the stone coffin.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Yang Mi nearby screamed in terror, pointing at a pile of straw while trembling all over, and stuttered: "Brother Ye, look..."
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and then all gasped in unison!
In the center of that pile of straw, a skeleton was lying there! And next to that skeleton, a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, and various porcelains were scattered.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
"How could there be a corpse here?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely not simple!"
Ye Bai stared at the corpse for a while, then said: "This corpse is a Female Corpse."
"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
A Female Corpse?
In this Tomb Chamber, a Female Corpse was actually buried?
"How could a Female Corpse appear here?"
"Could it be that she was already excavated, but for some reason, buried here instead."
"Then who did this woman offend? Was she murdered?"
"Could it be... that this Female Corpse is the Tomb Robber from back then?" someone guessed.
"Very likely!" another person agreed.
"It's a pity that this Female Corpse has been buried here for hundreds of years, it's probably already turned into a skeleton," someone sighed.
"Forget it then, let's just leave!"
Ye Bai frowned and said: "This Female Corpse might have a connection to that book, the 'Tai Xu Sutra'!"
"Oh?" Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.
"The secret of this 'Tai Xu Sutra' is hidden within this Female Corpse, so we must uncover the mystery on her!" Ye Bai said decisively.
As he spoke, he walked over and reached out to grab the Female Corpse.
"Brother Ye..." someone reminded him.
"It's fine." Ye Bai waved his hand and still picked up the Female Corpse.
After Ye Bai picked up the Female Corpse, he walked straight into the depths of the Stone Chamber.
Everyone was completely bewildered.
This Female Corpse was obviously long decayed and had no value at all.
But why was Ye Bai so stubborn?
They couldn't figure it out.
Ye Bai carried the Female Corpse to a platform and placed her on a stone bed.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Bai's pupils shrank sharply. He realized abruptly that there was a smear of bright red blood on the Female Corpse's chest!
"Why is there blood? Could it be..." A thought flashed through Ye Bai's mind.
He hurriedly inspected her and finally discovered the anomaly!
"It's poison!"
"She was poisoned by snake venom, which is why she is bleeding!"
Ye Bai immediately let out a sigh of relief.
He had been really worried just now that he might have made a mistake. After all, he was only observing the Female Corpse with his naked eye and had no concrete evidence to prove that this Female Corpse was connected to the 'Tai Xu Sutra'. If he misjudged the identity of the Female Corpse, it would be a huge loss for Ye Bai.
Fortunately, he checked carefully and confirmed that the Female Corpse was related to the 'Tai Xu Sutra'.
"Brother Ye, what should we do with this woman? We can't just let her be exposed to the scorching sun, right?" someone said.
Ye Bai looked up and found that a scorching sun was hanging in the sky, shining on the ground, and the temperature was extremely high.
"I'll handle it," Ye Bai said.
After speaking, Ye Bai took off his own clothes and draped them over the Female Corpse to shield her from the sunlight.
Afterward, Ye Bai took a cloth bag from his bosom.
The cloth bag was grayish-brown with a rough and thick surface. After Ye Bai unfolded the cloth bag, he found it filled with a black-brown liquid, foul-smelling, and nauseating to smell.
Splash—
Ye Bai splashed the viscous liquid around the Female Corpse, then used his Dagger to carve around the stone coffin, chiseling out a circular Passage!
"Oh my god! Brother Ye, what are you doing?"
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Ye Bai in shock.
Ye Bai said calmly: "I am digging a hole."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ye Bai was truly a weirdo.
"Brother Ye, the blood flowing from this Female Corpse is highly toxic! No matter how powerful you are, you can't resist this deadly poison, right?" someone warned.
