354: Poisoning devices, those charlatans are too harmful.

Another wave of heated discussion broke out in the Live Stream Room.

"My god, a Gu Poison Disk? This is too terrifying. I feel like one bite would mean certain death."

"Great God Ye, quickly think of a way! Don't let them touch that thing."

Ye Bai carefully observed the patterns on the disk, recalling various folk supernatural rumors in his mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "I've got it. In folk Gu technique legends, venomous creatures like snakes, toads, and scorpions follow the principle of mutual generation and restraint. We need to press these patterns in the order of their mutual restraint."

Lin Yu immediately directed the team members to act. After some attempts, the disk stopped rotating and slowly retracted into the wall.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Continuing forward, the atmosphere in the Tomb Passage became increasingly eerie, and the temperature dropped lower and lower.

Suddenly, a gust of yin wind blew past, and a female member of the expedition team shivered.

"It's so cold. I feel like countless pairs of eyes are staring at us."

Ye Bai looked around vigilantly: "Everyone be careful, something unclean might be coming."

Just as he finished speaking, black shadows appeared one after another on the surrounding walls. These shadows gradually became clear, revealing themselves to be women dressed in ancient costumes. They had beautiful faces, but their eyes were hollow, radiating a sense of deep resentment.

"These are Resentful Women of the Tomb. Legend has it they were funerary victims imprisoned in the Ancient Tomb. After death, their souls cannot find peace and are filled with resentment," Ye Bai said in a low voice.

These Resentful Women drifted toward the group. Lin Yu shouted, "Everyone, don't be afraid! Shine strong lights on them!" The expedition members pulled out their flashlights one after another. The intense beams of light made the Resentful Women pause momentarily, but they soon continued to approach.

"It's useless. Ordinary light doesn't have much effect on them."

As Ye Bai spoke, he took out the Seven Treasure Umbrella and began chanting an incantation. The Seven Treasure Umbrella emitted light once again. The Resentful Women let out shrill cries under the light, but there were too many of them, and some still broke through the barrier of light.

Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi hid fearfully behind Ye Bai. Meng Ziyi said tremblingly, "Great God Ye, what should we do? They're getting closer and closer."

Ye Bai looked at Lin Yu: "Do you have any items to ward off evil?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and took out some small swords made of peach wood from his backpack: "These are the peach wood swords we prepared. They are said to have the effect of warding off evil."

Ye Bai took the peach wood swords and distributed them to everyone: "Stab the peach wood sword into the center of the Resentful Women's brows; that is the focal point of their resentment."

Everyone held their peach wood swords, preparing to fight the Resentful Women. The audience in the Live Stream Room watched this scene nervously.

"Mi Mi and Meng Ziyi, be careful!"

"It feels like watching a horror movie. Go for it, Great God Ye!"

Everyone engaged in a struggle with the Resentful Women using the peach wood swords. But to everyone's surprise, when the peach wood swords stabbed at the Resentful Women, they passed right through as if stabbing air. The Resentful Women were not affected in the slightest and continued to drift toward them.

Lin Yu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "This... how is this possible? We specifically got these peach wood swords from a supposedly famous Feng Shui Master. How can they be useless?"

A team member said anxiously, "Captain, were we scammed?"

Lin Yu's face turned pale and then flushed with embarrassment, feeling utterly humiliated: "I... I don't know either."

The Resentful Women drew closer. The bone-chilling cold and the aura of resentment almost overwhelmed everyone. Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi gripped Ye Bai's clothes tightly, their bodies trembling slightly.

Ye Bai frowned and cursed under his breath, "A bunch of charlatans, they even faked this." His gaze sharpened, he spun the Seven Treasure Umbrella in his hand and chanted a more complex incantation. The light from the Seven Treasure Umbrella instantly intensified several times, forming a wall of light that temporarily pushed the Resentful Women back.

Ye Bai looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression: "Don't just stand there. Ordinary peach wood swords are useless. These Resentful Women are formed from the deep resentment of the suffering of being buried alive; you must use items of extreme Yang. Do you have any other methods or items?"

Lin Yu was sweating profusely from anxiety, desperately searching his mind for potentially useful information: "Extreme Yang Items? We... we still have cinnabar. Does that count?"

Ye Bai nodded slightly: "cinnabar has some Yang energy, but it's not enough."

As he spoke, he pulled out a small cloth bag from his chest. Opening it revealed some powder that emitted a faint glow.

"glutinous rice! glutinous rice works too! glutinous rice can eliminate all resentment!" Lin Yu said excitedly, while pulling a handful of glutinous rice from his pocket.

"Only glutinous rice can suppress the resentful energy!"

"glutinous rice is good, but I don't know if it can handle these Resentful Women."

Lin Yu said, "glutinous rice is indeed useful against ghosts and monsters, but it's not very effective against resentment. After all, glutinous rice belongs to 'Death Qi'."

"Then what should we do?" Ye Bai pondered for two seconds, then his eyes suddenly darted around: "I have an idea. Mix the glutinous rice into the glutinous rice juice, stir it evenly, and sprinkle it everywhere in the Tomb Chamber. When glutinous rice juice meets Yin, it becomes Yang; when it meets evil, it counters evil. It should be able to restrain the resentment."

Lin Yu's eyes lit up and he quickly did as Ye Bai said.

Soon, the glutinous rice was mixed into the glutinous rice juice, and the rice was stained with a layer of golden yellow.

Ye Bai splashed the glutinous rice liquid around the Tomb Chamber. Immediately, the Resentful Women let out miserable, piercing screams and quickly retreated.

"Alright, hurry up and clear away the glutinous rice liquid."

Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled: "Thanks, Brother Ye. You've really been a huge help. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."

Ye Bai waved his hand: "Forget the meal. I just hope these Resentful Women don't haunt me in the future."

He was just about to leave when he saw a flash of red light in a corner of the Tomb Chamber. There seemed to be a corpse there. Ye Bai walked over, reached out to feel the floor, and said in surprise, "As expected, there's a mechanism here!"

Everyone gathered around: "Brother Ye, what did you find?"

Ye Bai pointed to the patterns on the floor: "This is a hidden compartment mechanism. It requires a password to open."

"What's the password?"

Ye Bai closed his eyes, his lips moving slightly. Then he suddenly snapped his eyes open: "It's open!"

Immediately, there was a loud rumble, and the entire Tomb Chamber shook violently. The originally pitch-black Tomb Chamber was now as bright as day. In the center of the Tomb Chamber was an Altar, and currently, two skeletons stood upon it.

Lin Yu ran to the side in fright, and the others were also terrified. Only Ye Bai remained indifferent, as if he had expected it all along.

"The owner here must have achieved meditation and passed away, leaving a skeleton to accompany themselves," Ye Bai explained.

At this time, the two teammates also recovered from their panic and looked at the skeletons on the Altar.

The skeleton was sitting cross-legged, holding a Jade Flute. The Jade Flute was emerald green and crystal clear. The melody it played was melodious and pleasant, making one's spirit feel refreshed upon hearing it.

"What kind of musical instrument is this?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "I don't recognize it, but it's definitely a good item. I'll take it with me first."
