Chapter 627: Yin Yang Fish Gate, the Test of the Female General
The live broadcast room suddenly froze, and the three million viewers only saw the beads of sweat moving when Ye Bai's Adam's apple moved.
He flicked the sword with his finger, and a clang sound sent ripples through the tomb. "At midnight, Yin energy is flowing backwards. Why don't you take a look at the hem of your skirt first, young lady?"
The bronze sword trembled in response.
The female general lowered her eyes and looked.
The crimson horse-faced skirt embroidered with a phoenix and a peony was fading, and the gold thread turned into ashes and fell down.
Taking advantage of her moment of hesitation, Ye Bai flicked his wrist and swung out the ink line. The cinnabar-stained silk thread entangled the visor decoration: "I'm sorry!"
The sound of the mask falling to the ground startled the crows.
The barrage of comments suddenly exploded and filled the screen.
In the camera, there is a flame-shaped birthmark under the female general's left eye, which perfectly overlaps with the Big Dipper etching on the inner wall of the coffin.
Ye Bai's pupils suddenly shrank, and the Yin-Yang compass in his arms suddenly burst into green light, and thirty-six copper bells shook wildly on the dome.
"The Northern Dipper governs death, the Southern Dipper governs life."
The female general stroked her gradually transparent face with her fingertips, and the five-colored silk ribbon on the sword tassel suddenly wrapped around Ye Bai's wrist.
"Is the blood jadeite in your arms worth the toll of two thousand ghost soldiers passing through the border?"
From the southeast corner of the tomb came the sound of earthenware jars breaking and smoke rising, obviously the mechanism had been activated.
Alarm bells rang in Ye Bai's heart, but the force on his wrist became tighter and tighter, making it almost impossible for him to break free.
He gritted his teeth and said, "If it's not enough..."
Before she could finish her words, the female general let go.
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
She staggered, took a few steps back, then turned and walked towards several other coffins.
Ye Bai stood there, gasping for a long time before coming back to his senses.
The lids of the six bronze coffins in the center of the tomb chamber have all been opened, and dark air surges in, accompanied by the stench of decaying corpses.
Something was crawling out of the coffin, wriggling like a snake, approaching quickly, revealing a hideous face - it was a zombie!
Their eyes were red, as if blood could drip out, their mouths were wide open like fangs, and they stretched out their tongues, wanting to tear Ye Bai into pieces.
Ye Bai drew his sword and swung it, sparks flying.
The blade cut the zombie's neck and green liquid splashed out.
He drew his sword and retreated, his back pressed against the wall, his right foot on the edge of the horizontal coffin lid.
Bang——click——
The coffin lid was suddenly flipped over, and the huge pressure made it difficult for people to breathe. Ye Bai was almost knocked down.
A shriveled zombie crawled out from the bottom of the coffin, staring at Ye Bai with its cloudy eyes, and opened its cracked lips to laugh.
Its shoulders were slightly slumped, as if its bones had been crushed to pieces.
Ye Bai clenched his fists.
The zombies lunged at him.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a heat on his waist.
Ye Bai looked down and saw the Yin-Yang compass.
The surface of the compass was covered with dense and tiny cracks, two of which had already collapsed.
The last prompt before the system disappeared jumped into his retina.
[The host is detected to be in danger, so I summon him forcibly.]
He was stunned for a moment, then looked around.
Inside the tomb, every bronze coffin was opened, and zombies were lying inside.
Some of them raised their heads and roared, while others bared their teeth and attacked him.
"You really gave me a big surprise this time."
He muttered, raised his blade, and charged into battle.
The blade danced and the afterimage flickered.
The zombies that looked like Rakshasa ghosts fell one by one, their bodies were separated, and blood flowed into a river.
Ye Bai took a breath, bent down and held up a stone pillar next to the coffin, using the force to climb up.
By the time he climbed to the top of the tomb, it was already daybreak, and the scene inside the tomb came into view with incredible clarity.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and what he saw made him gasp.
The entire mausoleum collapsed.
Except for the few zombies he had just killed and the pools of green corpse water on the ground.
The entire tomb has become a ruin.
Only half of the ancient bronze door remained standing there, still exuding a quiet and distant atmosphere.
"I go……"
He cursed under his breath and ran quickly towards the bronze door.
The door was closed tightly, and the chain was rusty and looked thick and sturdy.
Ye Bai tried pushing it a few times, but it didn't move at all.
He frowned and took out the spiral saw from the toolbox.
“Squeak, squeak…”
The saw teeth made a harsh noise when they hit the iron plate.
"What is this?" asked the system.
Ye Bai explained without even looking up: "A spiral saw, specially used for removing door hinges, what do you think?"
System: "As long as you are happy."
The spiral saw worked on the door hinge for a full two minutes before finally opening a gap.
He went in and found a different world here.
The ground was paved with thick stone bricks, extending upward in circles.
One end is buried deep underground, while the other end connects to a deeper tomb chamber.
Ye Bai was walking down the stone steps slowly when he tripped over his ankle and almost fell.
He looked closely and found that it was a skeleton.
“It hasn’t rotted after all these years…”
Ye Bai squatted down and examined it carefully: "With this level of evil and malice, it will probably be resurrected in another thousand or eight hundred years."
System: "...I heard that zombies survive by eating flesh and blood."
Ye Bai: "Oh."
He groped his way forward. The corridor was wide and made of stone. Bronze lamps were suspended in the air, lighting the way ahead.
After turning a corner, he suddenly saw another tomb in front of him.
"Is there another one hidden here?"
Ye Bai widened his eyes in surprise.
System: "Well, but this is fake."
Ye Bai: "What do you mean?"
System: “Fake.”
He followed the system forward and saw two bronze doors in front of him. The lintels of each door were carved with intricate patterns, one depicting mountains and rivers, the other depicting birdsong and flowers.
“Is this a yin-yang fish?”
Ye Bai recognized a pair of dragons and phoenixes blending together in the pattern.
"Or two Tai Chi?"
System: "This is the 'life' hexagram, symbolizing the hope of life, and the 'death' hexagram represents death."
"Then how do we get in?"
Ye Bai scratched his head. Although he had learned a little about physiognomy, he had no knowledge of feng shui or the like.
The system said: "The gate of life and death, only the Yin-Yang compass can find the gate of life."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai pressed the compass and rubbed it left and right.
The compass needle slowly turned and stopped on the right, just in time for a painting.
Ye Bai moved closer with the compass, and the compass needle indeed landed steadily on the scroll.
“Is the moral of this painting about life?”
Ye Bai murmured: "So, which way should we go?"
He turned the compass upside down and knocked on the walls on both sides.
Boom, boom, boom.
Hollow echo.
"Strange, why is there no sound here..."
He looked around in confusion.
"Is there a mechanism?"
Ye Bai turned the compass upside down on the ground and searched along the left side of the scroll. Finally, he found a key in the cavity in the wall.
He unscrewed the socket and twisted it gently.
Click——
The bronze door slowly moved open.
The scene inside scared Ye Bai.
The huge tomb was filled with coffins piled up like mountains!
Ye Bai couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his heart beating violently.
This is like... hell!
There is a circular altar in the middle of the tomb, on which stands a bronze coffin.
