Chapter Fifty-Three: The Tomb Chamber

  After Liu Baozhen left, Yang Xiao still acted as if nothing had happened, maintaining a distance of three or four steps behind him, following Liu Baozhen up the winding mountain path. Sun Bi and Yu Guo exchanged a glance, then followed suit.

  After this interlude, Liu Baozhen was still dazed and confused, seemingly real and unreal at the same time. However, he no longer walked in a stop-and-go manner like before, although his speed was still not fast, Sun Pangzi was already very satisfied compared to earlier.

  Yang Dian followed behind Liu Baozhen, Sun Pangzi and Yu Huo followed Yang Dian at a distance. Zhao Mingyuan, Qiu Damei and the little policeman followed Sun Pangzi at intervals. The six people were divided into three groups and followed behind Liu Baozhen. They continued on their way without encountering anything unusual again.

  About two hours later, Liu Baozhen's body flashed and suddenly disappeared in front of him. Yang Xiao walked a few steps before he also disappeared at the same spot where Liu Baozhen had vanished. Sun Biangzi and others were stunned for a moment. The first one to react was Sun Biangzi, who turned his head to look at Qiu Dami and said: "Dami, give me an explanation!"

  At this time, Autumn Beauty was also a face of inexplicable, reacted for a while before saying: "Yang Kezhang blinked and disappeared, didn't he fall down?" As she spoke, she leaned her head down to take a few glances.

  "I actually hope he can fall down" Sun Baozi narrowed his eyes and walked to the position where Yang Xiao disappeared, walking cautiously, while feeling the wall with his hands. The ground where Yang Xiao and Liu Baozhen disappeared was narrow, and after Sun Baozi felt around on the wall for a while, he suddenly made a "hmm?" sound, then leaned forward towards the wall, and his body also vanished into thin air. A moment later, he stuck his head out from the wall again, saying to the people behind him: "Come, let me show you a miracle"

  There's something wrong with the wall! It was only then that everyone reacted. Hugo led the way and ran to where Sun Baozi had disappeared. The protruding part of this wall had a hidden opening on its shaded side, which could hold one person. Because the terrain here is too narrow, if you're not careful, you might fall down. Moreover, the opening was on the shaded side, so ordinary people passing by wouldn't notice it.

  Qiu Da Mei looked at the crack on the wall and said incredulously, "I've been in here for over a dozen times, I didn't know there was another exit."

  At this time, a voice came from inside the crack: "Don't dawdle, it's not me saying it, if you're late, you'll lose"

  With Sun Qiang's urging, the few people didn't hesitate and Ruhua was the first to enter the crack. Afterwards, Zhao Mingyuan and the other two also followed in succession.

  After entering the crack, with the light of the torches, several people finally understood that this was a narrow and long road. The road is about 50-60 meters long, Sun Dawang is standing at the exit of the road, waving his hands to them, indicating for them to follow him.

  Yuè Huò and his group quickly walked up to Sūn Pàngzi's side, only then did they understand why Sūn Pàngzi hadn't followed Yáng Yuè out.

  Outside the tunnel is a relatively spacious area, with hundreds of stone niches carved out on both sides of the stone wall. Each niche contains a coffin, which has been weathered for years, and most have already rotted away, revealing white bones inside. This place turned out to be a collective tomb, but it's unclear why so many people were buried together.

  Apart from Sun Wanjun and Yu Huo, Zhao Mingyuan's three people all took a breath of cool air. Who would have thought that there was actually another cave within the cave? Even Qiu Dami had walked so many rounds in the mountain cave, but hadn't heard of such a place existing.

  At this time, Yang Wei was already standing in the middle of the tomb chamber. Three or four meters in front of him stood Liu Baozhen's half-soul. Liu Baozhen was circling around the coffins, almost every one he would stick his head into, but then quickly pull it out. It seemed like he couldn't find something, after pulling his head out, Liu Baozhen let out a few angry roars, and then walked to the next coffin, sticking his head inside... just repeating this process, yet still unable to find what he was looking for. And Yang Wei followed slowly behind him, seemingly because Yang Wei wasn't in a hurry to make a move, he also wanted to see what Liu Baozhen was looking for.

  However, in the eyes of Zhao Mingyuan and the other two, Yang Wei was just slowly wandering between the coffins. The scene looked as eerie as it could get. Finally, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but lower his voice and ask Sun Dazhuang: "Sun, how did Yang Kezhang know there's another big tomb here? Don't tell me that all of you from the department are high-ranking officials, Autumn doesn't even know about this place, yet Yang Kezhang found it just by walking a few steps. But anyway, what is Yang Kezhang looking for?"

  Sun Pangzi scratched his head, looked at Deputy Director Zhao and said: "Do you know why the ashes are called ashes? That son of a bitch used to be a grave robber, he was called ashes because after robbing the tomb, there was nothing left but a handful of ashes. Old Zhao, do you now know what Yang Section Chief is looking for?"

  Zhao Mingyuan nodded, just wanting to answer when Liu Baozhen suddenly emerged from the coffin with nothing again, looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. This sigh actually resonated with the coffins in the tomb, and after Liu Baozhen's cry, a "whirring" sound like wind blowing came from the stone cave where the coffins were placed.

  This sound, not to mention Sun Peng and Yu Ge, even the three people behind Zhao Mingyuan could hear it clearly. The three of them shuddered in unison, and Zhao Mingyuan looked at Sun Peng with some fear, saying: "Sun Juzhang, what is this sound? Is it also that bone ash thing?"

  "Haven't you ever heard the sound of wind?" Sun Baozi said somewhat impatiently, "I'm not saying it's your fault, Old Zhao, but are you afraid of even a gentle breeze? What about when it rains and thunders? Are you going to lock yourself in a cell and not come out?" Zhao Mingyuan's face turned red and white as he was spoken to by Sun Baozi, and he smiled awkwardly before falling silent.

  At this time, Liu Baozhen had already examined more than half of the coffins, but in the end, he still gained nothing. At this point, Liu Baozhen became increasingly impatient, and after another fruitless examination of the coffin, his two hands stretched out, and the misty two hands "grabbed" the outer frame of this coffin, then suddenly pulled it backward. Amazingly, he pulled out this relatively well-preserved coffin from the stone cave.

  “Bang!” A loud noise, the coffin fell to the ground with a thud, along with the skeleton inside. The old coffin was shattered into pieces in an instant, and the body that had turned into dry bones fell out of the coffin. Its face was facing Sun Baozi and his friends, who were already used to seeing strange things. However, Zhao Mingyuan and his friends had never seen anything so intense before. When they suddenly saw the coffin fall to the ground, all three of them jumped in fright. Zhao Mingyuan originally wanted to ask Sun Baozi what was going on again. But thinking about Sun's impatient expression, he swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

  At this time, Sun Baozi's expression also began to look ugly. After Liu Baozhen pulled out the coffin, Yang Yue took a few steps back, and two bronze nails appeared in each of his hands. It seemed that Liu Baozhen had some strange change, which made Yang Yue somewhat unsure.

  Liu Baozhen continued to go crazy, and he pulled out the coffins in the stone cave several times in a row. The coffins and the fragments of the corpses inside were scattered all over the place. Yang Xiao held the copper nails with both hands, his joints clenched with some white hair, staring at Liu Baozhen as if ready to shoot at him at any moment.

  At this moment, Liu Baozhen once again 'grabbed' a coffin and pulled it out without looking. However, this coffin was different from the others. After pulling it out, Liu Baozhen found that it was intact. It fell to the ground with a thud, but not only did it not shatter, the lid didn't even come off.

  At this time, Liu Baozhen finally calmed down. He walked to the side of the coffin and began to rub the texture of the coffin lid with his hands. Following that, his body also started shaking non-stop. After rubbing for a while, Liu Baozhen's hands grasped the coffin lid, seemingly wanting to lift it open. However, after trying several times, the coffin lid remained firmly in place, not budging at all.

  After seeing coffins constantly falling out, Zhao Mingyuan and a few others retreated to the position of the outer mouth of the surging road again. As long as there is any movement here, Zhao Mingyuan will escape immediately.

  At this time, Sun Baozi also had no mind to care about them. He and Yu Huo were staring at Liu Baozhen's every move. Seeing that Liu Baozhen couldn't lift the coffin lid, Yu Huo suddenly said to Sun Baozi: "There is an array of death on the coffin, even if Liu Baozhen has a lot of energy, he can't open it. If you want to open the coffin lid, you must have a living person help."

  Sun Baozi looked at Hugo for a moment, just wanting to say a few words when suddenly another voice came from the tomb chamber inside: "I didn't expect you two could really find your way here, but since you're here, don't leave. There are still several empty coffins here, one for each of you, and there's even some extra..."

  Sun Baozi and Yu Huo were both startled. The voice sounded familiar, like someone they knew, but for a moment, he couldn't think of who it was.

  After hearing the man's voice, Yang Xiao's face also changed color. With a flick of his left hand, he threw out a copper nail towards the source of the sound. However, this copper nail was like a stone sinking into the ocean, disappearing into the darkness without making any noise. Yang Xiao couldn't even tell if he had hit anything or not.
