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

Bai Jing just can't say it outright right now.

In reality, all the so-called "yellow weasel graves" are actually just Wong Tai Sin temples.

This haunted government office can be considered one of the more prominent ones among all Wong Tai Sin temples.

Upon hearing Sun Qiaoshan's words, Yanzi became somewhat frightened and immediately tugged at Bai Jing's clothes, saying, "Why don't we leave?"

Hu Bayi, however, was intently looking at the offering table and said, "This looks like an altar."

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl that held the blood and said, "Look, this is just like chopping off a chicken's head and burning yellow paper, which is specially used to worship Huang Daxian."

Hua Mei looked at Hu Bayi with some doubt and asked, "How do you know it's chicken blood? Could it be human blood?"

Bai Jing comforted Yanzi and then said, "Because this is the Wong Tai Sin Temple, where we worship the weasel spirit. The weasel spirit only eats chickens and not people, so naturally we use chicken blood."

Sun Qiaoshan nodded and said, "The Ghost Office is the Wong Tai Sin Temple. You're right, young man. We're on the right track now, so we're not far from the treasure."

Upon hearing this, Yanzi walked to Sun Qiaoshan's side and asked, "Grandpa, is this really the underworld? It looks like the eighteen levels of hell to me. You're not really going to take us down there, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Qiaoshan glanced at Bai Jing and Hu Bayi, his eyes seemingly threatening: "That's right, in the mortal world, the younger generation has the final say, but in the underworld, I have the final say."

After saying that, Sun Qiaoshan was the first to walk down the steps.

Hearing this, Hu Bayi stared intently at Sun Qiaoshan and said, "Old man, you really know everything."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qiaoshan stopped in his tracks, then slowly turned around to look at Hu Bayi, and said, word by word, "Kid, I'll give you one word: Listen to me!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing said with some disdain, "Old man, these are two words."

Upon hearing this, a hint of savagery flashed in Sun Qiaoshan's eyes, and he said, "Hearing is one word, speaking is another."

At this point, Sun Qiaoshan looked at the group and said again, "Because only by obeying can one live!"

After saying that, Sun Qiaoshan turned around and continued walking downhill.

Bai Jing chuckled softly, "It seems you're about to achieve your goal, so you're no longer going to hide it. But..."

At this point, Bai Jing glanced around, then looked at Hua Mei and chuckled, "However, the old man is destined to be disappointed!"

After saying that, Bai Jing looked at Hu Bayi, Fatty and the others and said, "Let's go. We've come all this way with great difficulty. Wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't go down and take a look?"

As they spoke, Bai Jing also went down the stairs.

Hua Mei didn't understand what Bai Jing meant, and at this moment she also frowned.

It seems Bai Jing's words had a hidden meaning.

Bai Jing didn't bother to explain and followed Sun Qiaoshan directly. Although Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Yanzi didn't understand what Bai Jing meant, they quickly followed as well.

After all, Bai Jing was right about one thing:

We've come all this way, and it's taken quite a bit of effort, so we can't give up halfway.

We should go down and take a look eventually.

Bai Jing could already imagine the disappointed look on Sun Qiaoshan's face when he saw that the bronze box was gone.

The steps weren't very long, and the group reached the top in no time.

At the end of the stairs was a passageway, surrounded by various withered vines.

At the end of the passage is a stone chamber slightly smaller than the stone hall above. It is also covered with withered vines, but there are no murals on the walls, only a few stone statues standing there.

Upon entering the stone chamber, Bai Jing felt a sudden chill run through his body. He knew something was wrong and immediately dared not hesitate.

Bai Jing bit his finger, then made a hand seal, pressed it hard on his body, and shouted, "Samadhi is eternally tranquil, all evils retreat!"

As soon as Bai Jing finished shouting, the scene before him changed instantly.

Then, Bai Jing noticed Hu Bayi and the others' situation.

At this moment, Hu Bayi and his companions were in a very bad situation. Each of them had withered vines wrapped around their necks, and most importantly, they had all wrapped themselves up. Moreover, they looked like they were barely breathing, probably due to the effects of the environment they had just been exposed to.

Bai Jing knew that what had just happened was not an ordinary illusion, but rather that Yin energy had actually entered their bodies and affected them.

Immediately, Bai Jing didn't dare to delay and quickly pressed his bloodied fingers onto each person's forehead.

Then, while making hand seals, he shouted loudly: "The sun rises in the east, I bestow this talisman to sweep away all misfortune. I breathe fire from the mountains, and the talisman flies with the light of the gate. I subdue monsters throughout the ages, break the plague and devour the Vajra. I subdue demons and the dead, turning them into good fortune. I obey the command of the Supreme Lord Laozi! May all evil be scattered!"

As Bai Jing finished his hand seals and chanted the incantation, everyone jolted awake.

Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

However, Bai Jing was also looking around with lingering fear.

Although I knew long ago that this world was not simple, I never expected that ghosts actually existed.

Fortunately, the "Tomb Records" contain methods for suppressing spirits and corpses.

Otherwise, I might have really fallen into their trap.

Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had regained consciousness. He then took out a water bottle, washed the wounds on his hands, and asked Yanzi to bandage them for him.

Then Bai Jing looked at everyone and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

The others finally came to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man looked at Bai Jing with some lingering fear and asked, "Old Bai, what happened? And what's wrong with the injury on your hand?"

Bai Jing waved his hand to indicate that his hand was fine, and then explained, "This place is very eerie, probably inhabited by evil spirits. When we came in just now, did you feel a chill? That's it."

Hu Bayi knew that they had been saved by Bai Jing again, but given their current relationship, it would be too formal to say such things. He simply pounded his chest to show that he was deeply indebted and needed no words of thanks.

Suddenly, Sun Qiaoshan seemed to smell something and exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! It's the smell of weasel urine! Quick, wet a cloth with water and cover your mouth and nose!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing shook his head and said, "It's alright. I've already cast an exorcism spell on you, so you won't be pulled into the illusion for a while."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the screeching of swallows could be heard.

Chapter 36 Mummy

"Ah!!! It's a ghost."

Bai Jing and the others were startled by Yan Zi's shout. They immediately looked in the direction Yan Zi was and saw three corpses hanging from the withered vines in the passage.

These three corpses must not have been dead for very long, as they had not yet begun to smell of decay.

Bai Jing and the others took a closer look and discovered that they all recognized these three people.

The group lowered the three corpses off the withered vines.

They discovered that one of them was Xu Erhei, and the other two were Xu Erhei's henchmen.

Seeing this, the fat man asked with some surprise, "What are these three bastards doing here?"

Bai Jing thought for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Hu Bayi and said, "Old Hu, do you remember when our yard caught fire yesterday? It was Xu Erhei who did it."

Hu Bayi also realized what was happening and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! Xu Erhei and his gang must have overheard us, stolen our map, and found this place."

But how did they manage to see through the phoenix eye to that stone door? There shouldn't have been any signs of it being opened.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing looked up and immediately noticed a hole about half a meter in diameter.

Judging from the appearance, these three people fell down from the hole above.

Bai Jing looked at the hole above and smiled, saying, "Look up there, does anything come to mind?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi and the others all looked up.

Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi, and the others had never seen a tomb raider's hole before, so they didn't think anything of it. But when Sun Qiaoshan saw the tomb raider's hole, his face turned extremely ugly.

The hole was dug very flat and regular, and there were footholds on both sides of the hole to make it easy to get in and out.

Clearly, this was the work of a professional.

In this situation, there is only one explanation: this so-called "ghost government office" has already been looted.

Moreover, there is a passage next to this tomb robber's hole, at the end of which is a stone door, behind which is a stone chamber.

After they went inside, they found two bodies on the ground, whose deaths had been unknown for some time.

Both of them were dressed in black clothes and hats, with red headscarves tied around their heads.

Based on what Yanzi had said before, these are all people from the Mud Society.

Seeing this, Bai Jing said, "I think these people, including Xu Erhei and his group, were all deceived by the illusion and killed themselves. Moreover, it seems someone else already got here first."

As he said this, Bai Jing glanced at Sun Qiaoshan with a hint of nonchalance, and said in a slightly teasing tone, "These people are all from the Mud Society."

Sun Qiaoshan's face was unusually ugly at this moment, seemingly oblivious to Bai Jing's teasing.

He simply grabbed a torch and ran quickly inside.

Further inside, there was a stone platform, and sitting on it was a body dressed in ancient attire, which indicated that it had been dead for countless years.

Sun Qiaoshan went up and touched it from all sides, but clearly, he didn't find anything.

Bai Jing ignored Sun Qiaoshan's reaction and stepped forward to stand beside him, looking at him...

The clothes on that body.

These clothes have been around for who knows how many years, and they were actually quite worn out. In fact, because of Sun Qiaoshan's repeated touching, some parts of them were even cracked.

Bai Jing carefully examined the clothing on the corpse, confirmed his guess, and then said, "This kind of clothing should be the clothing of a priest among the Xianbei people during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Moreover, it seems that this person must have had a very high status during his lifetime."
