A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing exchanged a glance with Hu Bayi, and then walked straight towards the passage without saying anything.

Hu Bayi was somewhat helpless, but then he explained with a boastful tone: "The secret passages of these Sixteen Dragons of the Earth are actually all from the ancient Giant Gate Formation."

The reason it's called the Giant Gate Formation is because this type of formation was mostly used on ancient passageways and gateways. These numerological techniques actually evolved from the Luo Shu (洛数) and the arrangement of stars in the sky.

At this moment, Sadi Peng also turned into a curious child and asked Hu Bayi with a puzzled look: "What is Luo Shu?"

Hu Bayi was willing to explain to Shirley Yang because she was a great beauty, but Sadi Peng, what are you doing getting involved, you man?

Therefore, when Hu Bayi heard Sadi Peng's question, he replied directly: "This Luoshu is profound and complex, and it cannot be explained in a short time. Moreover, even if it were explained, you might not understand it. Why don't we go down first?"

Hearing this, the fat man, who had been filled with curiosity about the crowd below, became somewhat impatient.

The fat man quickly interrupted Sadi Peng, who was about to ask more questions, saying, "Let's go down first. There's an underground world waiting for us to explore."

The others were equally interested in the underground world, so they ignored Sadi Peng, who was still thinking, and headed down.

As everyone entered the tomb passage, Bai Jing sensed the humidity and asked, "Does anyone else feel that the humidity here seems to have increased?"

Hearing Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi nodded and said, "I felt it too. I felt it as soon as I entered here."

Professor Chen smiled and said, "That's great! This means there's an underground river here."

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered. Although they hadn't been in the Jingjue Ancient City for long, the area was quite arid and hot, making it challenging for them.

We've already drunk almost all the water.

How could I not be happy to hear about an underground river?

Then everyone continued on their way.

The underground passage is long, and on both sides there are various reliefs, but most of them are in the shape of eyes.

The more Bai Jing looked at these eye-shaped patterns, the stranger it felt.

He always felt that there was something strange about the reliefs here.

But seeing that the people who continued to move forward did not react, Bai Jing temporarily suppressed his doubts.

Bai Jing walked at the front, followed by Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, then Fatty Wang, then Professor Chen and Professor Hao, and then three students.

Bai Jing was walking ahead when Hu Bayi suddenly spoke up, "Listen!"

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's voice, Bai Jing paused for a moment. Was there any sound?

"That can't be," Bai Jing thought to himself, "my senses should be far beyond what ordinary people can have." Shirley Yang chimed in, "That's right, it's the sound of water!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing frowned and listened carefully. Sure enough, he could faintly hear the sound of flowing water in the distance, but the sound was too faint. He himself would have to listen carefully to hear it, so how could others hear it so easily?

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jing noticed that, apart from Bai Jing, Fatty Wang and Chu Jian also seemed not to have heard anything.

However, everyone else insisted that they heard it.

Bai Jing didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

As the group continued forward, everyone could now clearly hear the sound of flowing water, because there was indeed the sound of flowing water.

Hu Bayi teased the fat man, saying, "You couldn't hear me before, but you can see me now, right?"

The fat man nodded with a silly grin upon hearing this.

But at this moment, Bai Jing's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He seemed to vaguely understand something.

At the same time, he seemed to hear something else from the sound of the flowing water.

Bai Jing thought about it carefully. It seemed that since entering the Jingjue Ancient City, only he, Fatty, and Chu Jian had not deliberately reduced their water intake, while the others had deliberately reduced their water intake each time, thinking about their previous experience of water shortage. Could there be some connection between them?

Through observation, Bai Jing also noticed that, apart from himself, Fatty, and Chu Jian, whose water bottles were almost empty, everyone else's water bottles still had at least half full.

But now Bai Jing feels like he hasn't grasped the key point yet, and can only take it one step at a time.

Then, Hu Bayi was seen instructing Chu Jian to take Sadi Peng to fill all the water jugs and the two buckets they had brought with them.

But what happened next gave Bai Jing a chilling feeling.

Sadi Peng replied, "Okay, Brother Bai, I'll take Xiao Sa to fill the water container later, and then I'll take Xiao Ye back with me."

Chu Jian patted the shotgun on his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Hu, I will definitely protect Xiao Ye. But, are we really not allowed to participate in the remaining operations?"

The most critical thing is Xiao Ye, who suddenly became dazed and confused, and her condition was very strange.

However, neither Hu Bayi, Fatty, nor Shirley Yang seemed to notice the irrelevant answers and various oddities from the three people in front of them.

In addition, Professor Hao suddenly held up a kettle and said to the air, "Xiao Sa, you guys take a break. There's no rush to get things done."

All these strange things left Bai Jing somewhat confused.

When were they infected?

Chapter 173 Reality? Illusion?

Bai Jing knew they were under an illusion, but what he couldn't understand was when they were under the illusion.

Because he had eaten the fruit of the Treasure Flower, he was immune to illusions.

But judging from the appearance of the others, they had all been infected.

Bai Jing wanted to catch up with Sadi Peng and the other two who had already left, and walk through the passage again.

He was certain that their group had been subjected to an illusion since they entered the tunnel.

However, before Bai Jing could turn back, he heard Hu Bayi suddenly shout to everyone, "Everyone, come and see!"

Bai Jing could only go to Hu Bayi's place first to see what was going on.

When Bai Jing arrived at Hu Bayi's side, he saw Hu Bayi pointing a flashlight across the river, where there was an open stone door.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately began packing their things to cross the river, but were stopped by Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi then spoke up, "We don't know how deep the water is here, so we can't wade in rashly. I think there should be some kind of trap here, so let's look around carefully first."

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, everyone immediately began to study some of the sculptures on the shore.

But the fat man discovered something and then stepped into the river.

Bai Jing also noticed it. He looked into the river and, sure enough, saw a hidden bridge in the water.

The hidden bridge is quite obvious, but why do other people seem not to notice it?

Then, the fat man was seen walking on the dark bridge. Suddenly, he seemed to discover something, picked up a stone from the river, looked around nervously as if afraid of being discovered, and then put it in his pocket.

Bai Jing couldn't worry about anything else now. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to ignore Hu Bayi and the others for the time being and go back to find Sadi Peng and the other two to see what was going on with them.

Do it when you think of it.

The others seemed unaware of Bai Jing's departure.

They are still researching what exactly the agency is.

Bai Jing ran quickly towards the tunnel. This time, Bai Jing's speed increased, and soon, at the tunnel exit, Bai Jing caught up with the three people who had left, including Sadi Peng.

After exiting the tunnel, Sadi Peng and the other two heard footsteps behind them and then saw Bai Jing. Sadi Peng seemed to realize something and immediately asked excitedly, "Professor Bai, what's wrong? Did Professor Hao and Professor Chen tell us to go back?"

Looking at Sadi Peng and the other two, Bai Jing was certain that these three had now broken free from the illusion's influence.

But Bai Jing felt increasingly uneasy.

Then, Bai Jing noticed the camera hanging around Sadi Peng's neck and immediately said, "It's like this, when you left just now, Professor Chen remembered that he needed a camera to record the contents of the camera, so he asked me to come and get it."

Upon hearing this, Sadi Peng finally realized what was happening. Although somewhat disappointed, he quickly handed the camera to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing thought for a moment and said, "After you go back, stay with An Liman and don't wander around. We should be out in a short time."

Sadi Peng and the other two then bid farewell to Bai Jing, left the temple, and departed.

And Bai Jing again

Back in the passage, Bai Jing slowed down his pace this time.

This time, he began to carefully perceive it, and then he noticed that from the moment he entered the passage and saw the reliefs in the passage, it was as if a mysterious voice was telling him to move forward and keep going.

The sound was so faint that Bai Jing would not have been able to detect it if his mental strength had not been exceptionally powerful.

He immediately stopped and looked at the relief sculpture above.

This is a pattern of an eye.

Looking at this pattern for a long time feels like it's being sucked into your eyes.

Bai Jing then continued forward, looking at the patterns on the left, right, top, and bottom, not missing a single detail.

Along the way, Bai Jing sensed various hints from the murals. When he reached a certain spot, the hint he heard was, "What you desire most right now is ahead."

Bai Jing stopped and then noticed that this was the place where Hu Bayi and the others had mentioned hearing the sound of flowing water.

When they arrived here, Bai Jing thought back again. It seemed that Fatty and Chu Jian hadn't been affected yet, but everyone else had already been affected when they arrived.

Bai Jing immediately continued forward. Along the way, the clues he heard were all about the sounds of flowing water, gold coins, and treasures ahead.

Until you walk out of the passage and see the underground river flowing through it.

At this moment, Bai Jing roughly understood what was going on.

This long passage is a place that gives people hints. As people continue to move forward, after passing the point that hints that there is something they desire ahead, there are sounds that suggest flowing water, gold coins, and treasures.
