Candles in the Burial Chamber

"I would be embarrassed if I accepted such a valuable thing." Xu Bai smiled.

Although he said that, this Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram has always been held by Xu Bai, and he has never returned it.

He now has first-grade Feng Shui skills, so he naturally knows the benefits of this thing. If nothing else, just by reaching the first-grade level, Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram is a rare treasure.

The function is very simple. As long as it is a first-grade Feng Shui formation, and as long as the user knows that kind of Feng Shui formation, it can be used by Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram, including Heaven and Earth Changing Array.

Great Chu Kingdom's Feng Shui array requires various layouts, and many of the materials required for the layout are valuable or even expensive.

But with this Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram, there is no need for such trouble.

He can transform ordinary objects into Feng Shui formations, and this function is simply invincible.

To give a very simple analogy, if Xu Bai wants to arrange a Feng Shui array, he only needs to use Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram, and it can be arranged well.

Of course, such a buggy thing also has huge flaws. The flaw is that the Feng Shui diagram cannot be too far away from the arranged Feng Shui array, otherwise the effect it exerts will disappear, and expensive materials will still need to be used for the layout.

But for Xu Bai, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming. If he is fighting, he cannot collect materials first, so he can use this picture to set up a Feng Shui formation.

The function of arranging Feng Shui array is also very simple. To put it bluntly, Feng Shui is actually related to numerology.

For example, if you use Feng Shui Formation to ruin the opponent's luck during a battle, regardless of whether the opponent is strong or not, bad luck may occur every time you fight with him. Although it is very mysterious, when it really works, it will have a decisive effect.

To put it simply, there is no CD required, no mandatory prerequisites, it is just an instant skill.

Qian Family Head listened to Xu Bai's polite words, and saw that Xu Bai had no intention of returning, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Of course, these small actions were redundant in his opinion, because when he decided to give Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram away, he had already made up his mind and would not get it back again.

"Lord Xu, what you have done is a huge kindness to the Qian Family, which is as heavy as a mountain. A mere piece of Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram, given to Lord Xu, is simply a gift." Qian Family Head said.

Only he himself knows whether it is a favor or not. Nothing matters these days. What matters is the favor. If he returns the favor, it is considered worthwhile.

"So, thank you very much." Xu Bai handed the picture in his hand to Fourth-Rank Puppet. After Fourth-Rank Puppet put it away, he said, "I have something important to do, so I won't bother you."

Qian Family Head nodded, stood up and sent Xu Bai out of the door. He kept thanking her all the way. It wasn't until Xu Bai disappeared at the end that he looked at the street in the distance and fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty has really good taste. No wonder he would lose face and compete with Prince. I don't know what Prince is thinking. Now it seems that if Xu Bai directly Upper Capital, Prince may not even be able to drink soup."

There was no one around, but he was talking. Just as he said these words, the invisible air twisted, and a man in black appeared.

"He is very strong, and he has already discovered me, which proves that he is extraordinary in terms of soul, but he is also very understanding of the world and has not revealed my existence."

The man in black spoke calmly.

"Will you reply to Capital City?" Qian Family Head said with a smile, "A top-notch expert is being used to protect me. If word gets out, you may feel very aggrieved."

"Your Majesty said that as long as Great Chu Kingdom is still alive, Qian Family's safety will be his responsibility. I will not go back." The man in black shook his head and said.

Qian Family Head smiled and said, "What do you think it will be useful for him to Upper Capital go to the city?"

The man in black shook his head and said that he didn't know either.

"Bureau of Surveillance doesn't even know. It seems that His Majesty has a lot of plans this time." Qian Family Head turned around and walked towards the yard, saying as he walked, "Can you beat him?"

"I will die in the battle of life and death." The man in black followed behind.

Qian Family Head was slightly surprised. "A first-grade master who is a dignified person, and a first-grade expert who is good at bloody battles, actually said that he would die in the hands of a third-grade expert."

The man in black didn't answer, but it was already clear that he wasn't lying.

"It seems that this time, the royal family may be disturbed by Xu Bai alone. I guess His Majesty is also willing to see it."

In Qian Family Head's view, there is no other young man with such strong strength and abilities in this world. Perhaps this Capital City trip, Xu Bai can turn the world upside down.

"So, you just said Prince. I guess Prince is not stupid and must have a plan." The man in black said.

Qian Family Head was happy. "When did Prince win over His Majesty? I see that he has always been at a disadvantage ever since he started fighting with Your Majesty. Only for this throne, both of them gave in to each other. In the end, Prince was slightly better and lost the throne to Your Majesty."

The man in black shut his mouth tightly. These were royal secrets and he didn't want to hear more.

"I'm getting old. The world now belongs to young people. I'm afraid that this time in Capital City, those old guys won't want to retreat peacefully. It's probably going to be a good show."

"Crack!"

The door closed, and the voice of Qian Family Head was no longer heard.

Xu Bai didn't know what happened next. In fact, from the moment he entered Qian Family, he had already discovered the existence of the man in black.

But he did not interfere too much, because he could feel that Qian Family Head knew about the man in black, and the man in black did not show too much murderous intent towards him.

As for the identity of the man in black, Xu Bai can easily guess it. He is probably the person who protects Qian Family.

That's why he didn't interfere too much. What's more, he has more important things to do now.

Xu Bai did not go back to the inn, but went shopping directly at Wind Flower Prefecture.

After having Feng Shui Calculation Scripture, everything in front of him became no longer ordinary in front of him.

To use a very simple analogy, when he usually takes a walk in this city, it is just an ordinary shopping trip.

But now, in his eyes, everything around him has turned into a huge Feng Shui array. Every brick, tile, plant and tree is the layout of this array.

This Feng Shui array can improve Wind Flower Prefecture's fortune.

You can see the whole thing at a glance. It is said that you can know the big picture by seeing the small things. At this moment, Xu Bai already knew that there was absolutely no possibility of a so-called big tomb here.

After all, he is now also a master at this. He can see clearly with just one glance. If there is nothing in Wind Flower Prefecture's city, that means there is probably something outside.

"Go outside the city." Xu Bai said.

Ye Zi said nothing. She knew that Xu Bai was doing something serious, so she was very well-behaved. After Xu Bai said this, she followed behind silently.

The two of them quickly left the city. They walked around the city, and Xu Bai knew a lot about the follow-up of Feng Shui just by looking at it from a distance.

Since it is a large tomb, things related to Feng Shui will definitely be used before burial, so just by looking at it, Xu Bai can determine whether it exists.

After walking around, nothing unusual was found. Xu Bai stood at the gate of the city, touching his chin with his hand, thinking secretly.

This kind of blanket search seems to be a waste of time. If it continues to be wasted like this, it is better to just stay at home and watch the progress bar in your hands.

He tried to calculate again with True Yuan Power, but what he didn't expect was that the calculation was very slim. The other party didn't seem to leave many clues on the Tong Family.

It is correct to think about it carefully. After all, Tong Family is in the city and is relatively more dangerous.

If you leave too many clues, it will be easily encountered by some strange people. At that time, the enemy will probably be aware of it.

"Very cautious!" Xu Bai thought.

Just as he was thinking secretly, a strange man walked towards him. This strange man walked straight towards Xu Bai without stopping in the middle.

He also noticed the situation here and looked at the young strange man up and down. He guessed the identity of the other person. If he could come to him at this time, it must be the Soul Controller.

Sure enough, the young man stopped in front of Xu Bai, glanced up and down, and made an excited sound from his mouth.

"Finally I found you, I have important information here!"

"Soul Controller?"

Before the young man could speak again, Xu Bai asked what was in his mind.

"Yes." There were transparent silk threads on the young man's arms. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot them. When Xu Bai asked this question, he quickly answered.

"It took me so long to get in touch. It seems that your status there is not high." There was a hint of ridicule in Xu Bai's words. He looked at the young man up and down, secretly tracing with his index finger.

He had already used Feng Shui arithmetic just now, but he did not calculate any useful information. It seems that this industry does have special abilities that can block related calculations.

"Lord Xu, you don't have to mock me like this. I won't say more. Now I have a particularly important piece of information to give you." The young man stretched out his hand, fiddled with it in his arms, and finally took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai took it and looked it up and down, only to realize that what was outlined above was a map, and in the center of the map was a particularly obvious little black dot.

"I just drew it. It seems that I got this information not long ago."

The ink on the paper is still wet, and you can still feel a damp touch when you rub it lightly with your hand. From this point of view, the map on this paper was drawn not long ago.

"That's the final place." The young man was manipulated and gradually walked away, leaving only one sentence.

After a while, the surroundings were still quiet.

Ye Zi asked, "Sir, do you need to go over and take a look?"

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Of course we have to go and have a look. Whether he is real or fake, isn't there a clue in front of us now?"

If it were before, Xu Bai might have been more cautious, but now that I have Feng Shui skills, I really want to see what the other person thinks.

Ye Zi pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you need someone from the Jiang Family to come over?"

Xu Bai shook his head, saying no.

The two of them didn't even stop, and headed straight towards the direction of the map.

After leaving the city, the outside turned into a wilderness. Xu Bai kept walking, hurrying and slowing all the way, and finally came to the top of a hill.

This hilltop didn't look high, and the whole hilltop gave people an ordinary feeling. Xu Bai stopped in front, looking at the hilltop not far away, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Under the operation of True Yuan Power, Feng Shui Calculation Scripture appeared on his body, and waves of Feng Shui power surged out like waves.

In front of him, this hilltop no longer looked ordinary, but a great Feng Shui pattern.

"Yes, it is indeed a good place for burial." Xu Bai said slowly.

Ye Zi didn't understand this, so he crossed his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen, standing behind Xu Bai.

Fourth-Rank Puppet was carrying a huge package and was just guarding him.

This is a very strange combination, but among the strangeness, there is a wonderful fusion.

"Let's go and have a look." Xu Bai took a step towards the mountain.

Deep in the mountains.

At this moment, the large number of people were still waiting in place.

The leader was holding his hands behind his back, and the dirt in his fingernails was extremely noticeable.

In the middle of this group of people, there was an inconspicuous man, surrounded by everyone.

This man has an ordinary appearance and nothing out of the ordinary, but surrounded by these people at this moment, he seems to be alone. However, this man does not show the slightest panic on his face. If you look closely, you can see that there are transparent threads on his limbs.

"It seems that my eyesight is blind." The leader said calmly, "You are not Soul Controller at all, but an undertaker. I really don't understand, why would you betray me?"

"As of now, I have done everything I have to do, or just kill me." The man said calmly.

The leader chuckled.

"Haha, it is said that the mortuary master is more advanced than Soul Controller, and can control both the living and the dead. I really want to know, since you plan to join our group, why would you do such a thing?"

"Is it possible that you are not satisfied with the status quo and want to seek refuge with the emperor?"

Hearing this, the man said in a disdainful tone, "Don't compare me with trash like Soul Controller. The embalmer is recognized by the Great Chu Kingdom, so why should I take this risk?"

"Then why?" the leader asked doubtfully.

"You care about me?" The man didn't say much.

As soon as these words came out, the leader was extremely angry.

I'm talking to you here, but your tone is so harsh. Do I still want to give you face? "Kill!" the leader waved.

The next moment, everyone around him took action and was bombarded by various attacks. The man did not resist at all and turned into a ball of flesh and blood in the blink of an eye.

But the leader couldn't be happy at all, because he was the only one who knew that the career of an embalmer was more high-end than Soul Controller.

Even more cautious, the so-called man in front of him is just a corpse, a corpse mixed with soul.

Can control both living and dead people.

There are so many injustices in this world, and they all deal with the dead. They do these things that ordinary people think are very low-level, but the embalmers make Great Chu Kingdom admit their existence.

"Sir, it seems that our target has been exposed. Should we hide first? Otherwise, we may be killed by Xu Bai." A subordinate put away his weapon, came over in a low voice, and asked.

The leader shook his head and said, "No need."

The man was stunned for a moment, wondering what it meant.

In his opinion, since he has been exposed, he must avoid its edge.

After all, the strength shown by Xu Bai up to now is too strong. It has almost pushed him sideways along the way. If he does not avoid its edge, he will most likely suffer a major blow.

Thinking of this, the subordinate suddenly felt a chill coming to his face.

He seemed to have guessed something.

If you don't plan to escape, then you have to fight to the death here, but according to the leader's temper, it is absolutely impossible to do so. Is it possible that they will become victims?

As soon as he thought about it, the subordinate noticed that the leader was looking at him and giving him that sinister smile.

Before he could think about it, there was a slight vibration in the soil under his feet. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his legs. When he looked down, he found that the soil was spreading to both sides, wrapping his feet, and the tingling sensation just now was in the soil.

"This is the first level of the big tomb. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a luxury. You actually made these poisonous things in the first level." The leader laughed.

The position at the leader's feet did not change at all, but in front of the leader, the positions occupied by the people present all had the same problem. Screams began to spread, and they let out screams that filled the field.

"Big Tomb, you are the gravedigger!" The subordinate finally reacted and pointed at the leader and asked angrily.

"This big tomb, I will use you as a sacrifice." The leader said.

The soil under their feet contained highly toxic substances and melted very quickly. In the blink of an eye, these people all turned into blood and merged into the soil.

The soil turned from earthy yellow to blood red, mixed with flesh and blood, and the smell of blood hit your face, which was nauseating.

After a while, when everything returned to its original state, except for the change in the color of the soil, the place seemed so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

The leader did not hesitate, but took out the cloth bag behind him. After opening the cloth bag, he found a shovel half a person tall.

"Although I was tricked by him, the final result is still the same." The leader said.

A gravedigger can use tools or his hands. The leader is in this profession. The dirt in his fingernails is left by digging with his hands. After a long time, there is no way to repair it.

But today is different. Tools must be used to build this soil. He still wants to live for two more years.

A faint black light shrouded the shovel, looking extremely cold under the moonlight.

The leader moved very fast, and the shovel was already out of sight. The soil was being dug up by him. Slowly, his body was gradually sinking.

In less than a moment, the leader had disappeared from the land.

Not long after the leader disappeared, a man in ordinary clothes appeared. This man's body was connected to transparent silk threads. After looking back and forth, he walked down the hole in front of him.

Originally, the leader had erased the surrounding footprints when he walked down, but this man deliberately left a string of footprints and disappeared into the cave.

Xu Bai was rushing towards this place. While walking, he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly and frowned.

"Sir, something seems to have happened." Ye Zi turned around and said.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Speed up."

Their speed became faster, bypassing the overlapping woods, and soon came to a clearing.

There seems to be nothing unusual about this clearing, but the bloody soil in the clearing is shocking.

Not far away, there is a huge hole.

The hole went diagonally downward, and there were footprints left inside. It was obvious that someone had walked in.

Xu Bai used Feng Shui Calculation Scripture. In his eyes, the power of Feng Shui here was particularly strong, but looking at the hole in front of him, he was thinking about ways to be safe.

Suddenly, Xu Bai laughed.

In this dark night, he smiled slightly eerily.

Ye Zi's face was full of confusion. "Master, your smile makes people panic."

Xu Bai said, "I thought of an excellent technique."

"Sir, what technique did you come up with?" Ye Zi asked in confusion.

Xu Bai took out Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram and put his hand on it a little.

A large number of True Yuan Power poured into it. Next, with the help of Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram, a huge Feng Shui formation was formed around it, with Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram as the center.

He had tried it before. The Feng Shui Formation could not change his own fate. He was in a fog, but he could use it on the enemy, which happened to be flexible.

The so-called flexibility means that it can be used not only against the enemy, but also against one's own people.

Since there is a huge tomb in front of us, there will definitely be various mechanisms. This is beyond doubt.

After all, coffins equipped with mechanisms are standard equipment at any time, but the strength of the mechanisms is different.

He has Mechanism Puppet Technique, which has the ability to use mechanisms, but the quality of this skill is now a bit low, and it may not be able to completely prevent the following dangers.

It doesn't matter if the quality is low, he has high quality.

Feng Shui Calculation Scripture is different, this is a first-level skill.

Xu Bai can't change herself, but she can directly change Ye Zi's fate and make her luck better. Wouldn't that be much safer?

Things like luck and destiny are very mysterious. If you are unlucky, your flat bottom will fall into a big hole. If you are lucky, you can even pick up money when you go to the toilet.

Of course, this is not complete, and there are many things that affect destiny.

Xu Bai's current Feng Shui ability is at the first level, so the impact below the first level is very small. If the various layouts of the big tomb in front of him exceed the scope of the first level, the impact will become huge.

"Let's go, give it a try, follow this footprint first." Xu Bai said, "If there is only one road, just follow the footprints. If there is a fork in the road, let's see what happens."

As he said that, he led the way and walked down towards the hole.

Ye Zi nodded slightly and followed behind, looking around cautiously.

Fourth-Rank Puppet followed at the end, acting as a guard at the rear.

When Xu Bai stepped into it, he felt a cold wind blowing from inside, carrying a damp smell.

This is the first time I've seen a popular place. Of course it's very humid, and even the soil under my feet feels like I'm sinking deep into it.

Fortunately, everyone is not an ordinary person, and they can see clearly even in the dark.

Following this footprint, I walked along the bottom. The surroundings were extremely quiet and there was nothing unusual. Under the Feng Shui formation, everything was developing in a good direction.

However, this good situation did not last long. After walking for less than a stick of incense, something abnormal appeared ahead.

"Click! Click! Click!"

The sound of bones rubbing against each other came out, which seemed extremely permeable in this dark environment.

Xu Bai stopped, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, looked at the darkness ahead, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

There is a situation! In front, there was a figure flashing continuously, appearing extremely flexible, and the sound of fighting came from there.

The sound of fighting is very messy, but clear to the ears.

After a while, the sound of fighting gradually stopped, and a figure fell out of the darkness, flipped a few times, and landed on the ground, rolling right in front of Xu Bai.

Xu Bai Looking at this person, especially the transparent silk thread on his body, he already knew his identity.

"Lord Xu, it's great that you arrived so quickly."

After this person appeared, he only said one sentence, tilted his neck, and received the lunch box.

Xu Bai: "..."

This is the fastest person Xu Bai has ever seen to receive a lunch box. He just said a word and then it was gone.

Of course, he didn't believe that this person died like this. After all, it was a very cautious business, and the person in front of him must have been manipulated by that person.

Xu Bai turned his eyes and stared at the darkness ahead. In the darkness, several strange figures suddenly appeared. At this time, Xu Bai finally saw clearly what the other party was.

The things that appeared were in tatters, and it was unclear what shape they were in. The clothes could only serve as a shield.

There was no skin, and the whole body was covered in disgusting red muscles that were still squirming.

"Weird?" Xu Bai touched his chin.

I haven't seen this for a long time, but now that I see it again, I feel quite friendly.

The three weird ones had no consciousness and only knew how to kill. After seeing Xu Bai, they rushed towards Xu Bai. Obviously they had no IQ and did not want to talk to Xu Bai.

"It's pretty strong." Xu Bai commented lightly and pulled out Black Saber Hundred Rends from his waist.

The next moment, Black Saber Hundred Rends exploded, turning into stars all over the sky, directly piercing the three strange bodies in front of them.

It only took less than a breath of time for the three weirdos to go from appearance to rushing onto the street.

"It's indeed quite strong." Xu Bai felt it was not enough and added another sentence.

These three weird bodies actually have the strength of the fourth level, and they are just a few appetizers.

He was looking forward to what he would encounter next.

Ye Zi had long been used to it when he saw this scene, but he still reminded him, "Sir, you still have to be careful. The gravedigger is probably not dead, otherwise such a long passage would not have appeared."

"Yeah, I know." Xu Bai nodded and continued walking inside.

I encountered a few weird things at first, but nothing weird happened after that.

The two walked for a while, and finally the front suddenly became clear. They appeared in a huge cube-shaped space.

There is no longer damp soil here. The ground is paved with square bricks, the walls are also made of square bricks, and even the top of the head is made of square bricks.

It's boxy, like a box. All in all, it gives people a very unpleasant feeling.

Below, there are two rows of coffins on display. After counting, there are about twenty.

Each coffin is made of bronze and looks quite elegant. Even the coffin lids are engraved with complicated patterns.

Xu Bai took a general look and said very professionally, "This is not an important tomb, there are others."

According to the power of Feng Shui, this place is not the strongest.

In the square space, on the coffin lined up in the corner, a candle was lit with a flame burning on it.

"The gravedigger has left, but there seems to be no extra space here. He probably covered it up." Xu Bai looked back and forth, but didn't see the exit.

Mechanism Puppet Technique, which is equivalent to the fourth grade, did not find any abnormalities. Either there is no exit here, or the level is higher than his skill.

Xu Bai It is temporarily impossible to analyze which one it was. Along the way, there was no fork in the road, so the gravedigger should have left quietly, even covering up the traces of the exit.

"Sir, I heard that gravediggers have a very popular rule. When digging a grave, they will put a candle in the grave." Ye Zi said, "When touching the corpse, if the light of the candle changes color, you need to return the things you touched and then leave carefully."

Xu Bai thought, "You mean, he opened the coffin."

Since the candles are lit, it proves that if you want to touch the body, you must open the coffin to touch the body.

Xu Bai suddenly thought of something.

Maybe there was an exit in these coffins, that's not even possible.

Thinking about this, Xu Bai came to a coffin, inserted Black Saber Hundred Rends into the gap, and gently picked it up.

The seemingly heavy coffin lid was lifted open by him easily.

Xu Bai walked forward and looked at the corpses with only a pile of dead bones inside. He used Black Saber Hundred Rends to look through them, but he couldn't find an exit.

He even poked the bottom of the coffin with Black Saber Hundred Rends, but there was nothing abnormal.

"Continue."

He didn't stop, and started turning Bronze Coffin one by one. He opened every coffin lid, but apart from the corpse, there was no extra passage inside.

He rummaged through all the coffins around him, except the coffin with the candle in the far corner.

"Go and have a look." Xu Bai walked over.

When he inserted Black Saber Hundred Rends into the gap of Bronze Coffin, suddenly, a chilling breath flowed out from the gap.

The bright flame of the candle originally placed on the coffin suddenly began to shake. Due to the shaking of the flame, the surrounding light and shadow continued to intersect.

Xu Bai took a closer look and said with a smile, "This atmosphere team is quite good at organizing things. If you are a timid person, you may be scared to death here."

The candle placed on the coffin originally had a bright yellow flame, but as he pried open a gap in the coffin, the flame turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding light also turned green. Under the green light, Xu Bai heard a gentle whimper coming from the coffin...
