356: Nine tripods govern the world, with numerous mechanisms.

Lin Yu suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Brother Ye, why are there no coffins here? Could it be that they haven't been found?"

Ye Bai said with a smile, "No need to look, there are no coffins here at all. These coffins are fakes; only the coffin in the center of the outer coffin is the real outer coffin."

Hearing this, Lin Yu and Yang Hao both swallowed hard, their hearts pounding incessantly.

"My goodness, this is a fake coffin?" Yang Hao exclaimed.

"Shh, be quiet." Lin Yu quickly covered Yang Hao's mouth. "Lower your voice, don't anger the ghosts inside."

Yang Hao nodded, not daring to speak again.

Ye Bai took out the divination compass and began to calculate. After a while, he sighed and said, "Let's go, we should head out first."

The three of them walked out of the Secret Chamber, and Lin Yu and Yang Hao immediately saw Chen Wei and Chen Haonan guarding the entrance.

Seeing them, Chen Wei immediately came forward and asked anxiously, "You're out? How was it?"

Ye Bai asked, "What about the treasure inside?"

A look of joy appeared on Chen Wei's face as he said, "Follow me."

Ye Bai, Lin Yu, and Yang Hao followed Chen Wei through several Stone Doors and arrived at a magnificent cemetery.

The cemetery covered a vast area, with rows of pavilions and buildings, carved beams and painted rafters, and a grand splendor that was breathtaking.

"This should be where the treasure is stored. Look over there, there's a lake. That's the bottom of the lake; we need to put this outer coffin into the lake." Chen Wei pointed to a pool ahead.

Ye Bai followed his gaze and found that the pool was surrounded by greenery, and the water's surface shimmered like emerald.

Ye Bai nodded and said, "Alright, let's take action now."

Chen Wei nodded. He took out an iron shovel from his robes and handed it to Yang Hao, instructing, "Dig this open."

"Okay." Yang Hao took the iron shovel and crouched down to dig.

Lin Yu walked up to Chen Wei and whispered, "Didn't you say the treasure was at the bottom of this lake?"

"Yes, it's at the bottom of the lake," Chen Wei said as if it were obvious.

"Are you sure there's treasure at the bottom?"

Chen Wei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either; I'm just doing what's recorded in the family secrets."

Ye Bai snorted coldly and said, "Chen Wei, don't say I didn't warn you. There's something at the bottom of this lake. If you dare to lie to us, I guarantee you won't live until tonight before being devoured by those vengeful spirits!"

Hearing this, Chen Wei was so scared he shuddered. Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he was still afraid of being haunted by vengeful spirits.

"Brother Ye, how would I dare to lie to you!" Chen Wei said sheepishly.

Ye Bai said, "I trust you wouldn't dare."

After speaking, he turned to Yang Hao and said, "Yang Hao, keep it up. Try to get the coffin out tonight."

"Heh, don't worry. I've got the most energy. I can handle it for a week, let alone just a few minutes. No problem at all," Yang Hao guaranteed, patting his chest.

After saying that, Yang Hao took a deep breath, swung the iron shovel forcefully, and struck the ground hard.

Bang—

The floor tiles shattered, and dust flew everywhere.

Just as Yang Hao was preparing to continue digging, he suddenly slipped, lost his balance, and tumbled to the ground.

Yang Hao grimaced in pain.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to take it easy?" Ye Bai scolded. "You didn't listen and had to show off; you're always the one suffering!"

Yang Hao curled his lip and muttered, "What do you know? This is called a man's charm."

Ye Bai raised an eyebrow. How could this guy be even more of a poser than him?

He then bent down to help Yang Hao up and said, "Stand up quickly."

"Oh."

Yang Hao slowly climbed up, rubbed his butt, and grumbled, "Damn, that hurt!"

He limped toward the lakeside.

Seeing this, Ye Bai said helplessly, "You be careful."

Yang Hao waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, my speed is actually quite fast!"

Lin Yu glanced at his back and murmured, "This guy doesn't seem as clumsy as I imagined."

Ye Bai smiled slightly and said, "His constitution is quite special. He isn't afraid of sinister or evil things. That's why he can become someone who will be remembered for ages."

He paused and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore, let's go inside."

Saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the burial chamber.

Lin Yu and Chen Wei followed behind Ye Bai.

This Mausoleum was extremely grand and vast inside. Aside from the walls and stone pillars, there were no funerary objects, and not even a coffin could be seen.

The only thing that existed here was a massive stone tablet.

The stone tablet was pitch black, its surface glowing with a faint cyan luminescence, exuding an aura of ancient vicissitudes.

Two rows of characters were carved on the stone tablet: one row was three large characters, and the other was a poem.

[Nine Tripods Suppressing the World]

"Nine Tripods Suppressing the World?" Ye Bai softly muttered the phrase, falling into deep thought.

Lin Yu looked at the stone tablet with interest and then glanced at Chen Wei beside him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Yang Hao noticed Lin Yu staring at Chen Wei and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Yu shook his head, composed himself, and said, "Nothing, I'm just wondering why the owner of this burial chamber would choose such a name."

Yang Hao shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe the deceased was crazy."

Ye Bai glanced at Lin Yu and then slowly said, "Perhaps he hoped for peace in the world."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Unfortunately, the world is bound to fall into chaos after all."

...Night fell, and stars filled the entire sky.

Yang Hao, Ye Bai, and the others had already transported the coffin to the bottom of the lake.

This Mausoleum was very large, enough to accommodate hundreds of coffins, so the coffins piled in the water didn't cause even a ripple.

"Do you think the treasure will be at the bottom of this lake?" Yang Hao looked around and asked.

Chen Wei said, "It should be at the bottom of the lake."

Ye Bai asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think it's at the bottom of the lake."

"Why?" everyone asked in unison.

Lin Yu explained, "I explored this Mausoleum just now. The style of this Mausoleum is very similar to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. This type of Mausoleum is often riddled with traps and protected by formations."

As Lin Yu's words fell, the Live Stream Room instantly erupted.

"Whoa, riddled with traps? This is too exciting!"

"Streamers, be careful! Don't lose your lives in there."

"It feels like watching a blockbuster movie, but this is real. I'm so worried about them."

Ye Bai frowned and said coldly to the camera, "Everyone, be quiet. Don't disturb us." His voice made the viewers in the Live Stream Room instantly fall silent, everyone holding their breath as they continued to watch.

Yang Mi nervously pulled on Meng Ziyi's sleeve and whispered, "Ziyi, I'm a little scared. Is nothing really going to happen?" Although Meng Ziyi was also somewhat uneasy, she still forced herself to stay calm and said, "Don't be afraid, Ye Bai is here."
