According to his previous hexagrams, Emperor Qin’s true body is not in the coffin, but is most likely hidden in the tomb-guarding clan, hoping for an opportunity to escape from Emperor Qin’s tomb.

Then, after Ye Bai browsed through the bamboo slips, he found something new.

First, the tomb-guarding clan seems to have a sacrificial custom. They build altars and hold blood sacrifices every once in a while.

Second, every generation of head of the tomb-guarding clan must be sacrificed.

Bamboo slips record that after offering sacrifices to the spirits, the patriarch’s mind will be greatly enlightened and he will become extremely smart.

Sacrifice?

When Ye Bai met Queen Luo, he always felt that his conversation made him look more like a knowledgeable old man than someone who grew up in a dark ancient tomb.

It seems that this is the function of offering sacrifices to spirits.

However, Ye Bai felt that this kind of sacrifice to spirits was more like a form of seizing one's body.

Are the tomb-keepers good or bad?

Ye Bai frowned slightly and took out the red tiger seal and thought deeply.

Since he came into contact with the tomb-guarding clan, the tomb-guarding clan did not have any strange thoughts towards him. Instead, they respected him and gave him the Tiger Seal before leaving.

The Tiger Seal is indeed a treasure, capable of controlling the twelve bronze men who guard the coffins of the underground palace.

From any angle, Luo doesn't look like someone who wants to harm him.

If someone is hostile to him, this tiger seal will not be left to him.

As for Luo's son Ge, Ye Bai also learned a lot of things from his mouth.

What is the prophecy that Emperor Qin will revive and there will be a battle with Empress Qin?

At that time, Ye Bai used his spiritual consciousness to check and found that what Ge said was not a lie.

Therefore, this prophecy is either true, or it is a lie, even a lie that Ge himself does not know.

If it is a lie, then it is undoubtedly Luo who planned all this.

Ye Bai shook his head. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. It would be better to follow the missing footsteps of the tomb-keepers and find them.

......

Near the altar, Chen Tianyou and Zhang Qishan explored all the mercury caves nearby.

There are a total of 21 mercury burrows with a diameter of more than ten meters. They are only found in this area. It is hard to say whether they are found in other places.

Such many holes can indeed drain the mercury from the river beach in a short period of time.

"Lord Buddha, what do you think these tomb guards are thinking? They came here secretly to build an altar, and yet so many people died?"

Zhang Qishan shook his head: "To be honest, this tomb is weird, and I can't say anything about it, but if Lao Ba's divination outside reveals that Emperor Qin's recovery is correct, then what I'm more worried about now is the Third Master's side..."

Suddenly, the sound of something crawling out of the mercury cave came from the hole near the altar.

Chen Tianyou and Zhang Qishan hurried over, only to see a tomb guard wrapped in mercury and collapsed beside the cave entrance, murmuring: "Save me..."

But before he finished speaking, he lost his breath.

Chen Yulou frowned and observed: "There is no external injury, but the mouth and nose are full of mercury, so there is no way to save it."

"People climbed up from below. There may be a secret passage nearby."

The two of them searched separately, but they searched all around and found no entrance to the secret passage.

The two returned to the entrance of the cave and found several more dead bodies floating on the mercury cave, all of them members of the tomb-guarding clan.

In addition to the more than ten corpses that were sacrificed in blood before, almost all the tomb-guarding clan members are dead.

Chen Tianyou came to the mercury cave and was about to take a closer look at the corpses of the tomb-keepers when he suddenly felt a chill.

I saw a puppet bursting out of the sticky mercury.

Without thinking, Chen Tianyou took out the Dragon Mace and smashed it out.

Bang!

Chen Tianyou took a few steps back, and the puppet was also smashed into the mercury hole.

Phew!

Chen Tianyou pulled the tail thorn of the Dragon Mace, and then frowned. It turned out that three puppets jumped out of the mercury in the hole, surrounding him and Zhang Qishan.

Things are not going well...

"Lord Buddha, you go first, and I will stop you later."

"I'll leave you behind. Chen Kuishou and Third Master can eat me later. With the dragon's trump card, we won't lose if we work together." Zhang Qishan pulled off his clothes to wrap his fists, revealing his muscular arms.

Firearms are useless, we can only fight with our bodies.

Chen Tianyou took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the Dragon Mace.

He only has one powerful weapon in his space, which he cannot give to Zhang Qishan.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and subconsciously took the initiative to attack.

Chen Tianyou possesses a powerful weapon that can break the shell of a puppet, plus he is agile and has a main attack.

However, Zhang Qishan's strength is much lower and he can only act as a firepower attractor to create opportunities for Chen Tianyou.

Two people and three puppets are entangled together.

Wow!

Chen Tianyou had just broken the shell of a puppet, and turned around to see Zhang Qishan being beaten to the ground, with two puppets punching him hard.

"Buddha!"

Chen Tianyou quickly went to the rescue and took out the thunder talisman in his palm.

Purple thunder enveloped the two puppets, crackling.

The puppet's entire body is made of metal. After the thunder, the mercury attached to the puppet's surface was evaporated, seemingly causing no harm to its body.

"It's a bit of a waste." Zhang Qishan shook his head slightly.

Chen Tianyou had already expected that the puppet was made of a special material and the thunder in his palm was not effective.

He used the palm thunder just to save Zhang Qishan.

It's a pity that all the golden light spell talismans on his body were given to Chen Yulou, otherwise Zhang Qishan might not have been injured.

"Hey, this puppet doesn't seem to be moving?" Zhang Qishan was surprised. After using the thunder in his palm, the puppet just stood there in a daze, with its limbs stiff.

Is palm thunder really useful?

Chen Tianyou frowned slightly, regardless of whether it was the plot of the puppets or not, his figure flashed in the void, holding the Dragon Mace and instantly broke the knees of the two puppets.

The casing metal and gears fell and scattered on the ground.

Chen Tianyou breathed out lightly and said with a smile: "If I had known that the thunder in my palm was useful, why would we bother here?"

He looked at the injuries on Zhang Qishan's body and said, "Lord Buddha, are you okay?"

Zhang Qishan waved his hand and rubbed his nose with the knuckle of his index finger: "No serious injury, but the smell of mercury is too pungent. But what do you think of the origin of this puppet? With the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty, it should be impossible to create such a mechanism.

People."

Chen Tianyou shook his head. These puppets really didn't look like something the Qin Dynasty could make. Even with current technology, it's probably impossible to restore the puppets.

"Let Uncle Mo Wu take a look at it when we get back. He has the deepest research on ancient crafts."

......

At this time, Chen Yulou and the second generation of Jiumen had arrived at the entrance of the river beach under the "Ren" gate.

Looking at the tightly sealed entrance above his head, Chen Yulou shook his head slightly.

What on earth are the people up there doing? They haven't opened the entrance for so long.

"Jie Jia Na baby, come here, we will help you hang up later, you use explosives to blow it up..." Chen Yulou summoned Jie Lianlian and took out the explosives in his backpack.

"Chief Chen, is it really explosive?" Xie Lianhuan couldn't help but said.

"It's really explosive! Although the Qin Emperor's tomb is important, your safety is also very important. Although we need to make great efforts to make up for it afterwards, there is nothing we can do about it." Chen Yulou did not forget the lesson and said: "Do you know now?
