Chapter 77 In the Tomb

Qi Xiaohei's mouth was full of oil after eating, and Ye Bai handed over the freshly baked one.

"Then what are your plans now?"

"I just want to..." Qi Xiaohei stopped and hesitated for a long time, but did not express his thoughts.

"Why don't you follow me first, I'll cover your food and accommodation, and I'll settle your wages at the end of the month." Ye Bai said with a smile.

Qi Xiaohei stared at Ye Bai's eyes, as if he wanted to make sure he was sincere.

Ever since something happened to his clan, he had traveled a rough journey from Inner Mongolia to Hunan. He had seen the dangers of the world, and the arrogant character he had developed in his clan had been smoothed away.

Fortunately, his physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people. For several months, he could barely fill his stomach by stealing and grabbing.

When I met Ye Bai in Changde, I just felt a little friendly. For some reason, I got excited and followed him all the way.

Qi Xiaohei paused: "I'm very good at eating."

Ye Bai smiled and said: "It just so happens that I am very rich and have enough food and drink."

Qi Xiaohei nodded and agreed.

Seeing Qi Xiaohei eating, Ye Bai took out a map and checked their current location. The remaining two tombs were not far from here.

After Qi Xiaohei finished eating, he lay flat on the ground, tilted his head and looked over, and couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?"

While marking the map, Ye Bai asked: "Following us, where do you think we are going?"

"Go to the grave. I know you went to Inner Mongolia to go to the grave."

Ye Bai was not surprised and nodded: "This is what we do, and this is what you will do in the future. I will take you to the tomb to get familiar with it later."

"Okay, there is no job that I, Qi Xiaohei, can't do." Qi Xiaohei was full of confidence. It was just going to the grave. There was nothing scary about it.

Ye Bai and Qi Xiaohei chatted wordlessly. Late at night, the three of them rested here again.

Early the next morning, after Ye Bai finished meditating, he took the two of them and set off.

There are many hills and trees here, and the two tombs Ye Bai is looking for are also built on the hills, belonging to the Tang Dynasty mausoleum style.

Before noon, Ye Bai and the others found the first tomb. It was a tomb for high-ranking officials from the Tang Dynasty. The tomb was not large in scale and contained nothing except the main tomb chamber and a simple front hall.

Ye Bai never found the lucky bag on the system map and had no desire to go on.

"Let's go to the next grave."

"Ah, we haven't gone down yet, why did we leave?" Qi Xiaohei was a little reluctant. He also wanted to go down and see what the house where the dead lived looked like.

Shunzi explained aloud from the side: "The third master is a well-known gold-touching captain in the world. You only need to observe the sky, look for the color of grass and smell the traces of mud to judge the specifications of the tomb below. If the third master does not go down to the tomb, it means that there is a small tomb below."

The tomb is nothing to see."

Qi Xiaohei nodded in understanding.

Shunzi knew that Ye Bai valued Xiaohei, and along the way, he also educated Qi Xiaohei.

What about touching the descendants of Captain Jin, the three Pingshan brothers fighting against the corpse king, and the third master capturing the living corpses in Heishui City? Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment.

In the end, Qi Xiaohei seemed to be brainwashed by Shunzi, and looked at Ye Bai differently.

Ye Bai led the two of them over another high mountain and stopped near a hill with a fairly broad view.

"This is it."

At this time, a prompt popped up on the system map. It was also a Tang tomb. The owner of the tomb was a Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty. It seemed that the scale of the tomb was no smaller than the tombs of princes and nobles.

The location of the lucky bag flashes in a tomb below.

Ye Bai found the robbery hole left by his predecessors and took the two of them down to the tomb.

The trap in the tomb had already been broken by the tomb robbers at that time, and the three of them quickly walked through the corridor and arrived at the main tomb chamber.

It's just that the main tomb is empty, not even the shadow of the lucky bag can be seen.

Ye Bai checked the map in the system again and found that the location of the lucky bag was at everyone's feet.

This means that the main tomb in front of you is a suspected tomb, and the real main tomb is still underground.

Ye Bai became interested. The owner of the tomb was very clever. He used a fake main tomb chamber to confuse the tomb robbers and hid the real main tomb chamber under his nose.

"Shunzi, bring the tools and dig from here. There is another layer below."

"Is there another level?" Shunzi was stunned for a moment, but his face immediately lit up and he instantly understood what it meant.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest during this trip.

Since there is a real main tomb hidden underneath, the treasures buried with the owner of the tomb must be underneath.

Qi Xiaohei, who was on the sidelines, also understood roughly. With a look of excitement on his face, he stepped forward to help Shunzi open the hole together.

The hole was dug, and a smell of rotten wood came out. Before the smell dissipated, Qi Xiaohei, wearing sunglasses, approached the dark hole and tilted his neck to examine the situation inside.

Seeing this scene, Shunzi shook his head, wondering whether he was really blind or fake.

If you could see this clearly on horseback, it would be like hell.

"Boy, did you see something clearly?" Shunzi asked in a casual tone.

"There is a wooden coffin below. The lid of the coffin is missing. There are many treasures in the coffin." Qi Xiaohei said.

"You can really see clearly..." Shunzi muttered, turned on the flashlight, and looked around at the situation below.

His expression changed instantly, he quickly looked at Ye Bai and exclaimed: "Third Master, there's a corpse down there!"

The corpse has been raised?

Ye Bai took the flashlight and looked around at the scene below. Sure enough, just as Xiao Hei said, the coffin lid was torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.

Judging from the marks on the coffin lid, it seems that it was torn open from the inside with considerable force.

Ye Bai frowned slightly, there was no doubt that the body had been lifted up, but where had the body gone?

The main tomb below is closed. Although the space is not small, Ye Bai can still explore every corner of the tomb with the light of a flashlight. There is indeed no trace of the corpse.

Unless this corpse is like the living corpses in Blackwater City and can crawl on the walls.

Maybe this thing is lying on the top of the tomb at everyone's feet.

Shunzi couldn't decide what to pay attention to for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Third Master, what should we do now?"

Ye Bai smiled and said: "Don't worry, it seems that this guy below wants to play hide and seek with us, so it depends on which of us has the patience. Xiao Hei, go up and bring down everything we eat."

Qi Xiaohei did as he was told and soon got back a lot of food from the camp. Following Ye Bai's instructions, Qi Xiaohei threw two three-pound pieces of smoked beef into the hole, feeling quite distressed.

The three people turned off their flashlights and squatted at the entrance of the cave to wait patiently.

In the darkness, only Shunzi's breathing could be heard, while the breathing of Ye Bai and Qi Xiaohei was very weak and almost inaudible.

Afraid that something might go wrong in the tomb because of herself, Shunzi immediately held her breath and pushed herself up.

Two minutes later, Shunzi's face turned red and she was about to lose her strength when she heard trivial movements coming from below, followed by the loud sound of a heavy object falling.
