Chapter 399: Fish and Water
The sun is shining brightly at noon, and the weather is much warmer.
Huo Xianhai prepared food for Ye Bai and others. After everyone ate briefly, under the leadership of Qi Tiezui, they came to the abandoned Taoist temple and the wellhead stone chamber under the Wuji Tower.
Qi Tiezui was hit here, so Ye Bai naturally wanted to come and see if there was anything unusual about this place.
But just after Zhang Qiwen removed the bluestone covering the wellhead, Wu Xiaoxiao's two yellow dogs started barking at the bottom of the well.
The shaft is cold and dark, with air-conditioning constantly blowing out.
"Third Master, there should be something going on down there." Wu Xiaowu said suspiciously.
Ye Bai wrinkled his nose slightly, he also smelled the smell of corpse.
Zhang Qiwen raised his head and said: "There are hidden marks of my Zhang family on the bluestone. No one should have touched it during this period."
"That means that after you left, some kind of change occurred underground." Ye Bai approached the well mouth, opened his special pupils, and saw a black shadow flashing past with a deathly aura.
Ye Bai took out his flashlight and looked around again. He didn't see the monster again. He probably hid deep in the corner of the well.
Chen Pi came forward and said, "Third Master, let me go down and explore."
Ye Bai glanced at him: "You are still injured, just stay on the shore to rest. Qing Yi and Qing Er will go down first to take a look. I just saw a rice dumpling, be careful."
Qing Yi and Qing Er received the order, fully armed, and slid down the drilling cable underground.
They stepped in the puddle, back to back, looking alert, scanning with flashlights to check the underground environment.
Qing Er looked around and found nothing suspicious. He turned his head and asked softly: "Qing Yi, there is nothing wrong with me here. Have you seen the rice dumplings that the Third Master mentioned?"
Qing Yi didn't answer, his face was solemn, and his eyes stopped at the angled patch of land that couldn't be illuminated clearly by the flashlight.
All I could see was a squirming mass of black viscous substance, and I could vaguely see it was a human-shaped black shadow.
Qing Yi silently took out the diamond umbrella and blew a whistle.
The whistle means there is a discovery.
Qing Er also turned his head, a little surprised. He had never seen such juicy rice dumplings. They were so sticky that they looked like they had just emerged from a black mire.
And the smell of putrid corpses comes from this black stuff.
"You guys should go down too, I'm afraid they won't be able to solve it in a short time."
With Ye Bai's permission, the remaining three members of the Qinglong team also jumped into the well along the Sky Drilling Cable.
The Qinglong team brought by Ye Bai has never appeared inside Jiumen. Everyone speculated that it was a tomb expert secretly trained by the third master, so no one asked.
Soon, the sound of fighting was heard from the well. Among the people on the shore, only Wu Xiaoxiao was brave. After handing the two dogs to Qi Tiezui, he lay at the mouth of the well and watched the five members of the Qinglong team working together to deal with the slimy black rice dumplings.
The Qinglong Team is the team with the strongest overall strength among the four human teams. Under Ye Bai's expensive training, it can be said that everyone's skills are not weaker than Chen Pi.
Two of them form a defensive umbrella formation, two of them form a rope formation, and one person is responsible for the attack, with a clear division of labor.
The whole battle scene took less than a minute, and the black slime rice dumplings underground were caught by chains, and finally Qingyi used black fire oil to burn them into coke.
Wu Xiaowu climbed up from the well mouth and took a breath. He felt that the way these five people dealt with Zongzi was unheard of and unseen.
It's like a knife stabbed in the butt - the eyes of the sky are opened!
When did the third master hide such an elite team?
Wu Xiaowu was filled with curiosity and wanted to learn from these people.
However, with so many people present, it was difficult for Wu Xiaowu to ask Ye Bai face to face, so he could only hide his thoughts and talk to Ye Bai later.
After Wu Xiaowu became the Fifth Master of the Nine Sects, he wrote a tomb robbing notebook about his personal experiences and passed it down to the descendants of the Wu family, and what he saw underground this time was included in it.
Ye Bai led everyone down the well, only to see a burnt black corpse.
A burning smell and pungent corpse smell permeated the well, and there were red sparks on the corpse.
Zhang Qiwen walked around the well and said: "Third Master, Eighth Master was hit at that time. We left in a hurry. There are still a few corpse jars left that have not been dismantled. Now the Taoist talismans on the corpse jars have been touched. I think it was us who came up."
This time I touched something that I shouldn't have touched, causing the corpse to mutate and crawl out of the corpse tank."
Ye Bai nodded, walked around in front of several corpse jars, and stopped in front of one that had not yet been destroyed.
It is covered with hollow silkworm chrysalis, and several Taoist talismans are attached to the outside of the chrysalis. It is wrapped in a dark substance, and it is difficult to see what it is.
Ye Bai noticed something was wrong and said, "Someone, come here and dismantle this stone jar."
Just as Qing Yi was about to move, he saw Chen Pi smashing the corpse jar first.
Wu Xiaowu curled his lips, this stupid tangerine peel will show off in front of the Third Master.
A withered skeleton was exposed in the corpse jar, stained with black solid grease, and a bronze mirror was held in the arms of the withered skeleton.
The withered bones are young and seem to be a child who is not yet a minor.
Qi Tiezui immediately came closer and found that this bronze mirror was exactly the same as the one on the locomotive, and was the work of the Qi family.
But how did the bronze mirror appear in the child's arms?
Could it be that this young skeleton is the child of an expert from the Qi family?
Qi Tiezui's eyes suddenly filled with sourness and his eyes turned red, this crazy Japanese!
Qi Tiezui wanted to take out the bronze mirror, but was suddenly stopped by Ye Bai: "Wait a minute, there is something under the bronze mirror."
Something?
Qi Tiezui took a closer look and found that there was a red thread stained with black grease tied under the bronze mirror. It was stretched straight and the other end of the red thread led to nowhere through the bottom of the tank.
"Third Master, there is still a hidden space under the tank!" Qi Tiezui immediately realized.
Ye Bai did not answer, frowned slightly, and waved his hand to ask the Qing people to dig through the soil.
Because the red line was too tight, the Qinglong team was extremely careful when digging the soil, for fear of cutting the red line.
Soon, the downward hole was opened, revealing a dark space.
Qing Yi stepped forward and by the light of the flashlight, he vaguely saw a stone turtle placed in the space below.
The stone turtle is very large, as tall as a person, and carries a black stone pillar on its back. The carvings are exquisite and beautiful, and it seems to be a load-bearing pillar.

The straight red line extends along the soil to the depths of the dark space, and it is unclear where it ends.
"Third Master, it's a small tomb."
Tomb?
Ye Bai's brows deepened. If there was a tomb below, it would be impossible for the system not to prompt a prompt at such a close distance.
Unless this is a false tomb, that is, a fake tomb.
In the fake tomb, the system will not pop up a prompt because there are no treasure boxes or lucky bags in the tomb. Ye Bai has encountered this experience before.
"Dig the hole bigger and go down and have a look."
"Yes!"
At this time, Qi Tiezui seemed to have made a discovery. He tugged on Ye Bai's sleeves and looked a little unhappy: "Third Master, I seem to have thought of the purpose of the red thread. This is a rare Feng Shui formation.
It was arranged by people and is called Yu Shui Huan."
Fish and water make me happy? Wu Xiaowu immediately smiled and said: "Lao Ba, there is such a Feng Shui formation? Is it serious?"
"Go, don't stir things up here." Qi Tiezui was not in the mood to fight with Wu Xiaoxiao, and began to explain the origin of this fish-water acacia formation.
Dai Zenggong's "Shui Duan Shu·Ba Tong" once recorded that the use of fish and water acacia is very special. When many people hear the name, they think it is used to promote sexual intercourse between couples.
But this kind of Feng Shui formation is used to catch things.
If a living thing is tied to the upper end of the red line, it is used to catch a living person, usually a living person who was crushed after an earthquake, or a person who accidentally fell into a deep pit.
If there are dead objects tied to the top, it is naturally used to catch dead objects.
After listening to Qi Tiezui's explanation, Wu Xiaowu couldn't help but said again: "Lao Ba, now there is a bronze mirror tied to the top of the red line. What does it mean?"
Zhang Qiwen then said: "It means there is something dangerous down there, so we have to use a bronze mirror to suppress it."
Qi Tiezui nodded and said solemnly: "Actually, I have only heard my father talk about this formation, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Moreover, there is a bronze mirror to exorcise evil spirits tied to the top of the red thread, which shows that the things below must be very tricky."<
