326: The art of Qimen Dunjia can actually be used in this way?
"This Zhao Wugeng must be a peerless hero!" Meng Ziyi said with admiration.
Yang Mi also nodded in agreement: "The wealth hidden within this Mausoleum is enough to support an army of a million, yet he still chose to live in seclusion here, which is enough to prove his benevolence."
"That's right, Zhao Wugeng is a real man!" Meng Ziyi agreed.
Yang Mi turned around again, staring at Ye Bai with burning eyes: "What do you think we should do? Help Zhao Wugeng restore his country?"
Ye Bai shook his head: "We cannot get involved in this. Zhao Wugeng is a real man, but that does not mean others are also real men."
"If I have guessed correctly, Zhao Wugeng's Mausoleum must have been tampered with by treacherous officials, which is why this Mausoleum is filled with thick resentment and endless Vengeful Spirits."
"Now that Zhao Wugeng's Mausoleum has been opened, the resentment has leaked out, causing those Vengeful Spirits to flood into this Ancient Tomb frantically. If I am not mistaken, a Killing Array must have been set up outside, waiting for us to walk right into the trap."
"Therefore, we absolutely must not act rashly, otherwise we will only be throwing our lives away."
Meng Ziyi nervously grabbed Ye Bai's arm: "Then what should we do now? We can't just sit here and wait for death, right?"
Yang Mi was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said: "Let's fight! How can one catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den? Is everyone ready?"
Ye Bai frowned slightly: "We don't know the specific situation yet, and rushing out rashly would be unwise. Furthermore, we are completely unfamiliar with this Mausoleum, so rushing out will only lead to death."
Yang Mi said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Besides fighting for our lives, what else can we do?"
"Since the intruders are unwilling to leave this place, let me guard the Mausoleum for him. Both of you take Meng Ziyi and leave here. Remember, call the police immediately after getting out!" Ye Bai urged.
"But..." Yang Mi hesitated for a moment and said: "It's too dangerous for you to stay behind alone."
"Rest assured, my strength is not inferior to yours, and I know some of the Art of Qi Men Dun Jia. You all go."
Yang Mi was still somewhat hesitant.
Ye Bai urged: "Hurry up and leave, otherwise the Vengeful Spirits will gather in greater numbers, and none of the three of us will be able to escape!"
"Then take care of yourself." Yang Mi pulled Meng Ziyi and walked out of the Secret Passage.
After Yang Mi had walked far away, Ye Bai closed the door and blocked the Secret Passage with stones. He walked to the Stone Stele and reached out to touch it: "Zhao Wugeng, you have suffered all these years. From today on, I, Ye Bai, will fulfill your unfinished wishes for you. I believe your Vengeful Spirits will protect us!"
He took out a Dagger, cut his palm with his finger, and dripped blood onto the Stone Stele: "I hope to borrow your auspicious words to overcome this difficulty."
Ye Bai stood up, scanned the entire Tomb Chamber, then selected three suitable bronze ding to place in front of the stone wall and lit incense candles. These three tripods respectively represented: Heaven, Earth, and Water.
Afterwards, he found a set of cinnabar brushes, yellow paper, and calligraphy brushes in the Tomb Chamber. He dipped the cinnabar brush into ink, flattened the paper, dipped the calligraphy brush into ink, and began to paint in the Tomb Chamber. In no time, the Tomb Chamber was covered with Talismanic Incantations. Ye Bai burned the yellow paper and threw it into a fire basin. Suddenly, flames soared several zhang high, illuminating the scene in the Tomb Chamber. Ye Bai placed Talismanic Incantations in every location to ensure safety.
After finishing his work, he collapsed on the ground, panting, and muttered: "Done, finally done."
Just at this moment, the Tomb Chamber suddenly shook violently a few times.
Yang Mi's shout came: "Ye Bai! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Ye Bai answered quickly. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, climbed up from the ground, and looked in the direction the sound came from. He saw a pitch-black hole in the wall, and Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were running out in a panic. Ye Bai hurriedly chased after them: "Slow down, be careful not to slip and fall."
The three of them ran out of the Ancient Tomb very smoothly.
Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Luckily we met you, otherwise we would have ended up here tonight."
Meng Ziyi patted her chest and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me."
Ye Bai said modestly: "It's nothing, I was just idle anyway."
"Eh, why is there another grave here?" Yang Mi said in surprise: "There was only one Tombstone in that Tomb Chamber just now, but here there is a Tombstone. This Tombstone is relatively new; it was clearly built recently."
Ye Bai walked over and observed it for a while, suddenly feeling that something was strange, though he couldn't put his finger on it.
"This Tombstone is somewhat like the one from just now." Ye Bai muttered.
Meng Ziyi asked: "Like what?"
"Like a pair of twin brothers." Ye Bai thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps this is where Zhao Wugeng's Mausoleum was originally, and the two brothers were buried here together."
Yang Mi said: "It can't be that coincidental, right? Then wouldn't this Tomb Chamber be empty?"
Ye Bai smiled and said: "No, it is not empty. Because this Tomb Chamber is ventilated, the Yin Qi inside is relatively heavy."
Yang Mi suddenly realized: "So that's the reason for the ventilation. I was just wondering why it was so hot in the Tomb Chamber."
Ye Bai pointed to the Tombstone and said: "If I have guessed correctly, this Tombstone should be used to Seal evil ghosts."
Meng Ziyi asked worriedly: "You mean there is a Seal under the Tombstone? Then how do we break it?"
Ye Bai said indifferently: "I can break such a simple Seal even with my eyes closed. I will first push the Tombstone down, then draw two golden Dragons to break the Seal."
"Oh."
Ye Bai came to the side of the Tombstone and kicked it over. The Tombstone crashed onto the ground with a loud noise, deafening to the ears.
This loud noise attracted many lonely ghosts and spirits, and they scrambled to rush over here.
Ye Bai was fearless and calmly used the cinnabar brush to draw a Dragon on the Stone Stele.
Very quickly, a vivid golden Dragon leaped out from the cinnabar brush, raised its head, and roared, intimidating the surrounding lonely ghosts and spirits. Then it dove down, biting off the head of one of the fierce ghosts in one gulp and devouring it completely.
This Dragon was mighty and ferocious, its momentum unstoppable. Any fierce ghost bitten on the neck by it turned into a wisp of ghost and drifted away.
The remaining lonely ghosts and spirits were so scared by this situation that they scattered and fled, unable to care about attacking Ye Bai at all. Ye Bai took the opportunity to push the Tombstone over, then picked up the yellow paper and cinnabar on the side, and drew runes on the bottom of the Tombstone. He muttered incantations, then pressed his hands on the Tombstone, exhaling a breath of turbid Qi, blowing the Tombstone over. Afterward, Ye Bai lifted the Tombstone with both hands and slowly walked to the other side of the Tomb Chamber.
"What are you doing?" Yang Mi asked curiously.
Ye Bai said mysteriously: "Just watch."
Ye Bai walked to the other side of the Tomb Chamber, then stood the Tombstone upright and stuck it into the soil. He scanned left and right, seemingly checking if there were any hidden mechanisms around the Tombstone. Finally, he nodded with satisfaction, turned to Yang Mi, and said: "I have opened the Seal; what happens next is up to you."
