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

Bai Jing didn't care about anything else and threw the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes towards the stairwell ahead. Then he turned around and shouted, "Hurry up, I'll throw you over there."

The staircase was only a few hundred meters away from the location of the vine altar. Although Bai Jing arrived faster, Fatty and Bai Qi were not too slow either. The moment Bai Jing threw the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes out, Bai Qi arrived first.

The ground beneath their feet at this moment

It was already more than three meters away from the stairwell.

Bai Jing didn't care about anything else. He turned around and grabbed Bai Qi, who had just arrived. Before Bai Qi could object, he threw him out. Immediately afterward, Bai Qi crashed heavily onto the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes.

After throwing the white flag, the fat man arrived. By then, the ground beneath their feet was more than four meters from the top of the stairs.

Bai Jing didn't dare to delay. He grabbed the fat man and threw him out with another burst of strength.

The fat man weighed much more than the white flag.

Although Bai Jing's strength has increased over such a long period of time, he still cannot exert 500 kilograms of force under extreme conditions.

So the fat man wasn't thrown into the stairwell, but just missed it.

Fortunately, Bai Qi was already in position when the fat man was about to fall, and he was caught by Bai Qi.

But Bai Qi didn't have Bai Jing's strength and had no way to pull the fat man up from below.

However, if you just hold on for a while, there won't be any problem once Bai Jing jumps over.

Now only Bai Jing remains here.

Bai Jing glanced at the white skin on his shoulder, took two steps back, and was now more than five meters from the bottom of the stairs.

Bai Jing then exerted his strength, taking two steps in one, and then fully extended his body, leaping towards the stairwell.

Fortunately, Bai Jing unleashed an amazing burst of energy. Although he jumped almost from the spot, he still easily cleared the distance of more than five meters.

Although Bai Jing successfully jumped over, he knew that things were not over yet, so he turned around and quickly grabbed the fat man who was falling.

The fat man was so frightened that he screamed and yelled. When Bai Jing pulled him up, the fat man was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

At this moment, the group looked down and, through the light emitted by the lotus flower, they could see that the ground below was about ten meters high.

Falling from such a height, while not necessarily fatal, would certainly be quite severe.

Furthermore, Bai Jing noticed that there seemed to be stone pillars on the ground below, resembling earth spikes.

If you're unlucky during the fall, you're really doomed.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, everyone looked again at the ground receding into the distance.

Only then did everyone realize that what they saw was not the ground at all, but clearly the petals of a lotus flower.

Moreover, as time went on, the three of them noticed that the petals were shrinking faster and faster.

Moreover, everyone could see that the entire lotus flower had turned purple at some point, resembling a giant purple crystal.

It emitted a bewitching purple light.

It's unclear whether it's because they ate the fruit of the Treasure Flower, but they didn't feel anything.

But Bai Jing felt that if they hadn't eaten the fruit of the Treasure Flower, they would probably have already fallen into an illusion.

More than ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the petals of the peony flower completely closed up.

Moreover, Bai Jing and the other two also noticed that the vine altar where the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes was placed should be the stamen of the Treasure Flower.

Only at this point did they see the true nature of the peony flower.

To be honest, even someone like Bai Jing, who had seen all sorts of beautiful flowers in his previous life, had to admit that no flower could compare to even a fraction of the beauty of the peony.

This peony flower is like the sun, with endless light; in this respect alone, no other flower can compare.

What's even more amazing is that this peony flower can be said to encompass all the beautiful aspects of all flowers, making it indescribably beautiful!

P.S.: I'll take a break tomorrow, and start writing the plot of Ghost Blows Out the Light the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 114: The Tomb Raider's Tale Ends, Heading to the Capital

Fortunately, Bai Jing and the others had eaten the fruit of the Treasure Flower, so they were no longer afraid of its illusions.

Otherwise, simply looking directly at the lotus flower would be enough to put them into an illusion.

As the peony flower completely closed its petals, Bai Jing and the others no longer needed to stay.

The peony flower was probably disturbed because the white skin took away its fruit.

So he wanted to take revenge on the person who stole the fruit, so that the person who stole the fruit could never escape the illusion, until finally becoming fertilizer for the growth of the precious flower.

However, as the saying goes, everything in the world has its counterpart. The Baoxiang Flower was disturbed because its fruit was stolen, but because the person who stole the fruit ate the fruit, they were no longer affected by the Baoxiang Flower's illusion.

How interesting!

After expressing their feelings, Bai Jing and the other two carried the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes down the stairs along the same route.

As Bai Jing walked down to the main hall, he suddenly felt a pang of fear in his heart.

This feeling of unease came from all directions, not from any particular direction.

Immediately afterwards, the entire hall began to shake.

Then Bai Jing saw that not only above and below the main hall, but also in all directions, countless lotus vines emitted white light and broke through the stone walls.

It was unclear whether that place was connected to an underground river, but suddenly, countless floods rushed into the entire hall.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jing and the other two's expressions changed drastically.

But at this moment, because of the earthquake, he himself could no longer tell which direction they had come from.

Just then, the white skin on Bai Jing's shoulder suddenly started squeaking.

Then Bai Jing noticed that Bai Pi seemed to be pointing them in some direction.

Bai Jing noticed that the water level on the ground was rising higher and higher, and he knew that if he didn't leave now, he might really be unable to leave.

Immediately, he and the fat man waded through the water and ran in the direction indicated by the white-skinned man.

The floodwaters rose rapidly, and because they were no longer affected by the illusion of the peony flower, they were able to see the way forward.

At that moment, the three of them saw a large wooden box not far away, with the "Manchuria Film Association" mark printed on it. This box was probably a supply ship from the Japanese punitive expedition that was carried here by the current.

Bai Jing and the other two didn't have time to think much. They threw the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes into the wooden box, and then had Bai Qi and Fatty climb into the box. By this time, the box was too small to hold any more people.

Seeing this, Bai Jing immediately closed the lid of the wooden box, then took out a blue bead from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

This is the Water-Dividing Pearl obtained from killing the Brocade-Scaled Python in the Hundred-Eyed Cave.

With these water droplets, Bai Jing can breathe freely underwater.

The floodwaters quickly submerged the main hall. Just as there is an inlet for water to flow out, there is also an outlet.

As the water level rose, Bai Jing noticed that a section of the stone wall seemed unable to withstand the water pressure any longer and was squeezed open by the pressure.

The moment this water outlet appeared, it brought Bai Jing and

The large wooden crate rushed toward that spot.

As the earth shook, the water rose higher and higher, becoming increasingly rapid. Eventually, the water, carrying the white banner and the wooden box, was irresistibly propelled forward by the turbulent current.

Surrounded by darkness, Bai Jing didn't know how long he had been peering along the river before he could finally see faint light in the distance.

Seeing this, Bai Jing knew that they were about to leave.

Bai Jing immediately opened the box and found that Fatty and Bai Qi had fainted from the previous impact.

Bai Jing did a quick check and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the two were not seriously injured.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Bai Jing and the wooden box were washed out of the underground river.

Bai Jing struggled to pull the wooden box ashore, and looking at the sunset on the horizon, he knew that it was already evening.

Just after Bai Jing woke up Bai Qi and Fatty, they encountered a pair of hunters who had finished hunting and were preparing to return to the village.

Bai Qi and Fatty happened to know these two people, and after asking around, they learned that the river next to them was a tributary of the Blackwater River.

Then Bai Jing and the other two looked at the corpse of the King with the vertical eyes in the wooden box and laughed.

All of this demonstrates that what they experienced before was not a dream.

Because it was quite far from the farm, they followed the hunters to Shangheishuihe Village and stayed overnight.

The next morning, they borrowed a horse-drawn cart from the village and used it to carry the wooden box and the corpse of the King of the Vertical Eyes back to the farm.

Upon arriving at the farm, Hazelnut, Spike, and Army, who had been waiting there, all breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, it's good that you came back safely.

The fat man was neither like Wang Kaixuan nor as flamboyant. After returning, he simply described their experience and didn't say much more.

Jian Guo immediately reported it via telegram.

Of course, the reported content was edited to some extent.

They only said that they encountered a pack of wolves while on patrol, accidentally entered the tomb of the Liao Dynasty Empress Dowager, and conducted a brief investigation. As for things like the peony flower, probably no one would believe them even if they told them.

The higher authorities reacted quickly; the next morning, people from the Production and Construction Corps arrived. After the Corps reported the facts of the incident to their superiors, the higher authorities took it very seriously.

Subsequently, leaders and cadres at all levels attached great importance to the matter and sent people to inspect it.
