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

This time the steps were very long. After climbing the last step, Bai Jing counted that there were a total of 365 steps.

At this moment, Bai Jing's doubts grew stronger.

Whether it's 108 or 365, both imply a certain meaning.

After Bai Jing and his two companions climbed the steps, they saw a building in front of them.

This place is boundless, seemingly without end.

The entire space was a vast expanse of white.

As soon as Bai Jing and his group stepped out of the staircase, they discovered that light seemed to be radiating from all directions, and there wasn't even a shadow in sight.

But at that moment, the fat man pointed in a direction and shouted, "Look, what's that?"

Chapter 112 The King with the Wide Eyes! The Fruit of the Treasure Flower?

Following the direction the fat man pointed, Bai Jing and Bai Qi looked over and saw a place that looked like an altar about several hundred meters ahead. Because it was too far away, the three of them couldn't see clearly what it was.

At that moment, Bai Pi seemed to have discovered something. He immediately jumped off Bai Jing's shoulder and ran towards the altar.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jing quickly chased after them.

Bai Qi and Fatty, not wanting to be left behind, naturally followed suit.

As everyone got closer to the altar, they could see clearly that it wasn't an altar at all; it was just a clump of plant vines or something similar.

When everyone arrived, they saw that these vine-like things were woven into an altar-like structure, and on this 'altar' was placed a person dressed in red clothes with a golden mask on his face.

Bai Jing looked at the mask in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

But he was certain that he had never seen this mask before; at least in his nearly twenty years of life, he had never seen such a mask.

Just as he thought of this, Bai Jing had a flash of inspiration. He had never seen such a mask in this life, but he had seen a similar mask in his previous life.

Yes, this is a mask that is clearly in the style of Sanxingdui.

However, Sanxingdui is located in Sichuan Province, while he is currently in Northeast China.

The fat man, unaware of Bai Jing's thoughts, looked at the man's mask and said, "Damn, why is this man's mask so strange? Such big ears, and such big protruding eyes. Most importantly, why is there a piece missing from the head?"

These words enlightened Bai Jing, who immediately guessed, "Do you remember the mural from before? The mural said that the owner of this lotus flower was a king with vertical eyes. Look, the missing piece of the mask on this person's head looks like a vertical eye, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing this, both Bai Qi and Fatty suddenly realized what was going on.

Then the two looked at each other and said in unison, "You mean, this is the King of the Vertical Eyes?"

Bai Jing nodded and said, "That's right, I guess this person is the King of the Vertical Eyes."

Upon hearing this, the fat man looked around and asked with some confusion, "So you said the corpse of the King with the vertical eyes is here, but where is that Treasure Flower?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Jing and Bai Qi looked around. They didn't know how vast the place was, but apart from the altar made of plants where the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes was placed, the only other thing in the entire space was the winding staircase that they had come up through.

Apart from that, it was completely empty; there was nothing there.

This left everyone puzzled.

Yes, they came looking for the peony flower, but why didn't they see it?

Could it be that they've come to the wrong place again?

At that moment, Bai Jing suddenly noticed that Bai Pi was tugging at him. Bai Jing looked down and saw that Bai Pi was holding several milky white objects in his hands, as if presenting a treasure.

Bai Jing was somewhat confused, but he still took the thing from Bai Pi's hand.

Bai Jing took a closer look at the object and found that it resembled some kind of fruit, each about the size of a thumb joint, but covered in strange patterns.

Bai Jing didn't know what this was.

Then he looked at the white-skinned man with a strange expression.

Seeing Bai Jing's actions, Bai Pi immediately jumped onto Bai Jing's body, picked up one of the fruits and put it in his mouth, then took the fruit out of his mouth and immediately began to chew.

Bai Jing immediately understood; they wanted him to eat this.

Bai Jing believed that Bai Pi wouldn't harm him, but he still didn't understand what it was.

Seemingly seeing that Bai Jing did not make any further moves, Bai Pi jumped to the ground and circled around Bai Jing, as if he was in a hurry.

Suddenly, Bai Pi seemed to realize something and looked sharply at the fat man. Then, Bai Pi rolled his eyes, and the fat man, who had been looking at Bai Jing, suddenly stopped moving.

Seeing this, Bai Jing knew that Bai Pi had pulled the fat man into an illusion.

Bai Jing also looked at the fat man with some curiosity. He didn't know what Bai Pi was doing, but he knew that there must be something he needed the fat man to convey to him.

The next moment, the fat man staggered, as if he had escaped from the illusion.

The fat man, having escaped the illusion, stared wide-eyed at the white-skinned man and exclaimed, "Holy crap, how did you turn into a human? And such a beautiful one at that!"

Bai Jing was fine, but Bai Qi looked at the fat man with a strange gaze.

The fat man ignored Bai Jing and Bai Qi's reactions and instead looked Bai Pi up and down.

They seem to want to know exactly how white people achieve this.

Seeing this, Bai Jing quickly said, "Fatty, stop dawdling, what exactly happened? What did Bai Pi say to you?"

The fat man then came to his senses and looked at the fruit in Bai Jing's hand, saying, "This guy told me that these are the fruits and seeds of the 'flower,' and that eating them will make you immune to illusions."

He added at the end, "However, he also said that a person can only take a maximum of three of these pills; any more than that will have no effect."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing seemed to understand and looked at the fruit in his hand.

This is probably the fruit of the peony flower.

What was unexpected was that the white guy seemed to be very familiar with this thing.

Furthermore, judging from the fact that the white-skinned person didn't make any eating motions, it's highly likely that the white-skinned person has eaten this thing before.

Bai Jing counted the fruits in his hand; there were seven in total.

Besides the white people, how should the distribution be handled?

Just as Bai Jing was struggling with his decision, the fat man spoke up.

"Second Master Bai, what's there to be conflicted about? It was your young lady Bai who found it. You can have three, and Bai Qi and I can each have two of the rest."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing looked at Bai Qi. Bai Qi readily agreed, for without Bai Pi, how could they have found such a valuable item?

Bai Jing didn't stand on ceremony. They had lived together for almost twenty years, so there was no need to be so particular. He immediately handed two seeds to Bai Qi and two to Fatty, and then fed the remaining three seeds into his mouth.

The taste of this fruit is somewhat like lotus seeds. It is a bit bitter at first, but unlike lotus seeds, it turns sweet as soon as you bite into it.

As the three fruits entered his stomach, Bai Jing felt a warm current flow through his entire body, eventually rushing towards his head.

Chapter 113 Crisis, Finally the Beauty of the Lotus Flower

As the warm current flowed into his head, Bai Jing's mind cleared up instantly, and his memory and calculation abilities were greatly enhanced.

Most importantly, many things that I couldn't remember before now seem to come back to me all at once.

Bai Jing hadn't expected this thing to be so effective.

Just as Bai Jing was still savoring the wonder of the fruit, he suddenly felt a tremor in the space they were in. The space, which had originally been radiating white light, slowly began to turn red, and then the color deepened.

Not only Bai Jing, but Bai Qi and Fatty, who were originally savoring the wonder of the fruit, were also suddenly awakened.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them noticed that the space began to bulge out in various places, as if the earth were rolling.

Not only the ground, but also the area above began to bulge downwards as if an earthquake had occurred.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jing's expression changed, and he finally understood.

Why did they enter the place that was said to contain the lotus flower but not find it?

It turns out that they hadn't failed to find the lotus flower; rather, their location was within the petals of the lotus flower.

Looking at the location of the King of the Vertical Eyes, the vines began to stretch out one by one, and the King of the Vertical Eyes' corpse fell from the altar built of vines.

Bai Jing realized that he couldn't stay here any longer.

He immediately shouted, "Hurry up! We're inside the Baoxianghua's body now. Since the Baoxianghua's seeds were taken away, this guy is probably angry. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

Bai Pi naturally understood Bai Jing's words and immediately jumped onto Bai Jing's shoulder.

Bai Qi and the fat man's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

In an instant, the three of them ran towards the staircase they had come from.

Bai Jing glanced at the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes on the ground before walking away. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the corpse with one hand.

And so, Bai Jing ran while carrying the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes in one hand, and the fat man and Bai Qi did the same.

Although Bai Jing was carrying the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes, his speed was no slower than that of the Fatty and Bai Qi, and was even faster.

They were running, and the peony flowers continued to move.

Moreover, they also noticed that both the ground and the ceiling were like flower petals unfolding, extending inwards.

Bai Jing and his team were at their fastest speed ever at that moment.

Just as they were about to reach the location of the stairs, they saw that the ground connecting to the stairs suddenly detached from the stairs.

Seeing this, Bai Jing and the other two were dumbfounded.
