Chapter 404: Tai Chi Gives Birth to Yin and Yang, Wisdom from Years Ago
"Mr. Ye, what are you doing?" the fat man asked in confusion.
Suddenly, Ye Bai's hair stood up and he felt the temperature around him drop sharply.
A cool breeze blew, making people shiver.
"Mr. Ye?"
The fat man exclaimed, he finally understood what was going on.
Ye Bai's blood merged into the coffin, and then a slight sound came from the coffin.
The coffin lid trembled, as if something was struggling to break out of the coffin.
The fat man held his breath, gripped the knife handle tightly, and his heartbeat quickened.
The coffin lid trembled more violently, and finally, there was a crisp "click" sound.
The coffin lid slowly opened, revealing the pitch-black bottom.
"What the hell..." The fat man was dumbfounded.
In the coffin, there lay a woman with a blurred face and a stiff body, as if she were dead.
However, the clothes she was wearing were gorgeous and luxurious phoenix robes!
Ye Bai and the fat man looked at each other, and then they both rushed forward.
Ye Bai cut off the female corpse's wrist with a knife, wrapped the bones with the cloth strips he carried with him, and then taped them up to prevent her from resurrecting.
"Fatty, you take care of the body. I'll dig a hole and bury it."
The fat man was stunned for a moment: "There's no need to go through so much trouble. The corpse poison won't kill anyone, so why waste time burying it?"
Ye Bai rolled his eyes. "What do you know? Corpse poison invading the soul will affect lifespan. If it was someone who died suddenly, it would be fine. But this is the Qin Shi Huang. After her death, she was refined into a corpse puppet. Who dares to touch her?"
"Oh, let's bury it then." The fat man smiled awkwardly.
Ye Bai took out a bag of glutinous rice flour from his backpack and sprinkled it in the pit.
"Wait—" the fat man shouted.
Ye Bai looked back: "Hmm?"
The fat man pointed at the stone platform and said, "Don't you think that the stone platform looks like a picture of mountains and rivers?"
Ye Bai narrowed his eyes and found that there were some familiar patterns on the stone platform.
He took a closer look and found that the surface of the stone platform was covered with thick mud and dirt, and was engraved with various patterns.
Among them, the most eye-catching pattern is a Bagua Yin-Yang fish pattern!
Ye Bai's heart was shocked: "Eight Trigrams Yin and Yang, could it be that what is buried here is..."
The fat little chicken nodded like pecking at rice.
He pointed to the bottom of the stone tablet and said, "Look, there are words next to the stone tablet. They say Tai Chi gives birth to Yin and Yang."
“It’s really advanced.”
Ye Bai was in a complicated mood. He didn't expect that he had stumbled here by accident. His luck was really amazing.
"Mr. Ye, there must be more than just this woman's body buried here. There must be other burial objects."
The fat man suggested: "There's something strange here. Let's not delay any longer and dig up the grave first!"
"Alright, you stay here and guard, I'll go over and take a look."
The two cooperated well. Ye Bai used a bayonet to pry open the grave, revealing the coffin.
The fat man stood by and watched carefully to prevent any fraud.
The interior of the coffin is quite spacious and simply furnished with only two jade bottles and an ancient round bead.
"Mr. Ye, which of the jade bottle and the round beads do you like?"
The fat man was eager to try.
He has a special liking for this kind of stuff, so he is particularly enthusiastic about it.
"No hurry, take that round bead away first."
After Ye Bai finished speaking, he walked to the front of the coffin and picked up the jade bottle.
He poured out the pill, sniffed it, and immediately his face showed joy.
"This elixir contains a great vitality, no less than spiritual herbs, perhaps..."
He wanted to try taking a few pills, but considering that the pills were poisonous, he gave up the idea for the time being.
Ye Bai turned his head and looked at the fat man.
"Fatty, do you want to eat?"
The fat man shook his head and refused.
Ye Bai didn't force it and continued to clean up the battlefield.
After removing the coffin, the two men found a flat stone slab, pushed the stone platform away, moved the corpse into the coffin, and then filled it with soil to bury it.
After finishing the work, the sky gradually darkened and the moon rose.
The fat man yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Mr. Ye, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. I'll go find a tree nearby to sleep under."
He was just about to take a few steps forward when Ye Bai grabbed his ankle.
"What are you doing?" The fat man was startled, thinking that Zongzi had come out to harm people again.
"You want to stay here, it's not impossible."
As Ye Bai spoke, he took out a candle and inserted it into the pile of earth in front of the grave, and the flame burned brightly.
The fat man's cheek twitched: "Mr. Ye...you don't mean to..."
Ye Bai ignored him and walked straight to the stone gate, put the coffin lid back in place, and then knocked on the stone door with a shovel.
"Dong dong dong."
He knocked on the stone door again and again, making a dull sound.
The fat man stood in the distance and trembled, fearing that a horrible zombie would come out.
"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."
Ye Bai knocked on the stone door for a long time, but there was still no response.
He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered, "So there's something strange here. I thought there were zongzi."
"Mr. Ye, let's go quickly. I don't think we can stay here." The fat man suggested timidly.
"Why are you leaving? Since it has come to this, why not just tear down this tomb? Maybe we can dig out some treasures."
The fat man smiled bitterly: "You are kidding. The tomb itself is a Feng Shui treasure land. If you move it rashly, you may be plagued by bad luck."
"Then forget about him and just collapse the stone gate!" Ye Bai slapped his thigh.
The fat man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Let's fight!"
The two men worked together and smashed the stone door with hoes, revealing the scene inside.
This tomb is relatively small, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the walls, and it is obvious that it was once a luxurious palace.
The two searched along the way and suddenly saw a secret compartment. When they opened it, they found it was filled with rare medicinal herbs.
"Hey!"
The fat man was so happy that he almost cried with excitement: "Mr. Ye, I'm rich!"
He took out a 500-year-old ginseng and said, "This is much more valuable than wild ginseng."
Ye Bai curled his lips: "It's worthless. Look at these, they are all fake."
Ye Bai took out a basket of fake ginseng and threw it aside.
"Mr. Ye, how do you know there are fake ones here?" the fat man asked curiously.
Ye Bai said mysteriously, "I guessed it."
Fatty: "..."
He looked at the coffin on the other side, his eyes shining: "Mr. Ye, guess what this is?"
"It can't be..." Ye Bai took a look and his face changed instantly.
"Fuck! This is a bronze coffin!"
The copper coffin is yellowed all over, with a faint golden glow. Although it has a long history and has been there for a long time, the coffin is well preserved and has not rotted.
The coffin has a simple shape and looks extraordinary at first glance.
"Are you sure this is really a bronze coffin?"
Ye Bai was suspicious. This bronze coffin was exquisitely crafted and looked very valuable. If it was truly an item from a thousand years ago, he would make a fortune.
"I can't be wrong. My grandfather's generation made their fortune by digging ancient tombs. I will never make a mistake." The fat man said seriously.
Ye Bai thought for a while, then reached out and knocked on the bronze coffin.
After a slight shake, the bronze coffin slowly opened.
Ye Bai's pupils shrank and he took three steps back.
He had heard that ancient tombs were rife with dangers, especially those buried thousands of feet deep underground, which were extremely dangerous.
If something unexpected happens after this bronze coffin is opened, it would be terrible!
Ye Bai stared at the bronze coffin in horror.
The fat man swallowed and said, "What is this? Why does it look so creepy?"
