Chapter 629: The Tomb Guard

 I saw a towering black city wall standing in front of everyone. The city wall was more than ten feet high, and the city gate was closed.

The mercury river they were in seemed to be the moat in front of the city wall, with white and sticky mercury slowly flowing around the city wall.

Everyone shined bright flashlights on the city wall to observe the structure of the wall.

Ye Bai felt that this city wall was very familiar. Among the underground palaces, the structure of the Qin Palace was the same, but this city wall was stronger, majestic, solemn and solemn.

"God bless, go up and take a look first."

Chen Tianyou nodded, then stepped on the Golden Wild Goose Kung Fu, leaped forward, and reached the top of the city tower in a few steps.

When Zhang Qishan saw this, he was quite envious.

He also redeemed the Nine Internal Skills and Heart Techniques. Unfortunately, due to the special nature of Qiongqi's bloodline, he often felt anxious and could not calm down to meditate, so the progress of his internal skills training was limited.

On the other side, Chen Tianyou seemed to have made some discoveries after observing on the tower for a while, but he did not make a sound.

He dropped the rope, and Partridge Shao and Zhang Qishan quickly climbed up the tower with the help of the rope.

Ye Bai collected the secret snake and jumped onto the tower.

On the other side of the tower are neat streets and houses.

The buildings here are very similar to the buildings in Hades.

"Uncle Third, I picked it up at the corner of the city wall." At this time, Chen Tianyou handed over a bamboo leaf, which was thick and black and green.

This kind of bamboo is called ghost bamboo, and it usually only grows underground where there is no sunlight. Ye Bai has seen descriptions in ancient books.

It is not surprising that there is a ghost bamboo growing in a large tomb, but a single fresh leaf fell here, indicating that the person who controlled the carrion had stayed here before.

Ye Bai threw the bamboo leaves to Partridge Whistle and Zhang Qishan. Partridge Whistle reminded: "Third brother, there is a small cluster of ghost bamboo in the valley near Ghost Valley. This thing is born from the yin energy and is extremely rare. But most people don't know it.

What’s more, bamboo joints that are more than a hundred years old will produce a little black water, and this water can clear the eyes and brighten the mind.”

Ye Bai was surprised. He had not seen any description of the dead bamboo black water in ancient books.

"If there is a chance, then get some black water and try the effect."

Now that there are items that the person who controls the corpse has come into contact with, Ye Bai can determine its location by divination.

Then Ye Bai crushed the bamboo leaves into pieces, threw out six copper coins, then took out a small white paper figure and drew symbols and amnesty orders on it.

I saw the white paper man jumping up instantly and running on the tower to lead the way for Ye Bai.

"You guys stay here first and wait for me to come back."

Ye Bai gave an explanation and followed the paper man into the darkness.

Zhang Qishan said with a smile: "Follow the third master to the tomb, it seems that there will be nothing wrong with us."

Partridge Whistle also smiled and said: "It's always been like this..."

With the blessing of Ye Bai's true energy, the paper man was dissatisfied with his speed and quickly took Ye Bai to a remote teahouse inside the city wall.

Although this city was built in imitation of the Qin Palace, most of the buildings are empty and without furniture.

However, there are several stone furniture placed in the teahouse, and there is no dust inside, so it is extremely clean.

Ye Bai frowned slightly: "Come out?"

Not long after, there was a strange movement in the house, and a few men and women who covered their bodies with coarse cloths and bamboo leaves walked out.

These people have dry hair, fair skin, and narrow eyes, which are very different from modern people.

An old man walked out among several people, bowed and saluted, and said: "May I ask who the young master is?"

However, this person spoke with a strong ancient dialect, not modern Mandarin, and Ye Bai couldn't understand it at all.

Seeing that Ye Bai couldn't understand what they said, the old man seemed quite helpless. Then several people discussed in low voices, took out bamboo pieces from the house, and wrote on them again in Qin Zhuan: "Who is the young master? Where does he come from?"

"People outside, who are you?" Ye Bai also wrote on the bamboo strip.

"We are the survivors of Emperor Qin, and we are guarding the tomb here."

Ye Bai was a little surprised. Could it be that these people were not the ones who controlled the rotting corpse just now? They seemed to be too honest. Just say whatever you asked.

"Are you the only people in this tomb?" Ye Bai asked again.

Several people looked at each other, and the old man in the lead wrote on the bamboo strip: "We still have many tribesmen, but they are not here."

"Have you ever been out? And who controlled the ringtone just now?"

"We have never been out. We have always remembered our ancestors' instructions and guarded the dragon body for Emperor Qin. As for the ringing of the bell just now, I would like to ask the young master not to be angry. It is indeed our fault. However, we did not know that the young master is from the Queen of Qin, so this is offensive. ."

Queen Qin?

Ye Bai nodded slightly and asked: "How do you know that I am from Queen Qin?"

"The young master's blood can control the golden armored man. Only those who inherit the bloodline of Emperor Qin can do it."

The man in golden armor in the old man's mouth probably refers to the puppet man, and he is considered to be from Queen Qin, probably because the puppet swallowed his own blood.

"I saw a secret passage hidden underground in this inn. Where does it lead to?"

The old man's face changed slightly. He couldn't guess how Queen Qin knew that there was a secret passage in the house, but his expression became more respectful.

"Sir, the secret passage leads to our village, where all our people gather."

The bamboo pieces were covered with writings, and Ye Bai took out a new bamboo piece and wrote: "Can you take me there?"

"Of course."

The old man led the way, and Ye Bai followed.

Ye Bai is not afraid that these tombkeepers are plotting against him. He has checked with his spiritual sense and found that these people are ordinary people. They are not lying. Instead, they all have hidden diseases and are the kind who will gasp for breath whenever they move.

If it is true, as the old man said, that their clan has lived and multiplied for two thousand years in a dark tomb, then it is really a miracle.

The passage was very long and there was no light. The old man walked in front of Ye Bai, using his body to explore the path for Ye Bai, while the remaining men and women followed behind.

Ye Bai found that these people had very good eyesight and could see in the dark. Perhaps it was due to the effect of the dead bamboo black water, or maybe they had lived in the dark underground for a long time and their eyes had degenerated.

After walking for about ten minutes, the old man took Ye Bai out of the passage.

Outside the passage is a black bamboo forest. More than thirty people gathered around the entrance of the cave and stared at Ye Bai who came out.

These people are dressed similarly to the elderly. Except for covering the key private parts with a little cloth, the rest are covered with bamboo leaves.

Ye Bai noticed that the tombkeepers looked at him with curiosity, respect, and admiration...

Maybe it’s because he’s so good-looking.

The building where the tombkeepers settled was very simple, a simple stone house built with rock blocks.

The old man dispersed the clan members and invited Ye Bai into the house: "This is our clan. According to our ancestors' instructions, as long as we wait until Emperor Qin recovers or Queen Qin arrives, we can end guarding the tomb and gain freedom."

Then the old man took out some simple and worn bamboo slips from the stone box and said that they were handed down from the time of Emperor Qin and could be used as proof.

Ye Bai took the bamboo slip and found that it was covered with grease.
