While others rob tombs and search for treasures, you practice poison cultivation to achieve immortal

Chapter 57: The Dark Palace, the Seven-Aperture Heart
Fatty Wang was dumbfounded.

Shirley Yang nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense."

Gu Bai was also quite surprised. It turned out that Old Hu did have real skills.

He was very meticulous and managed to deduce the facts roughly based on the remains of the corpses in the three coffins and Gu Bai's deliberate hints.

Gu Bai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stepped on the ground.

"What Brother Hu said makes sense, and it's easy to verify. We can just dig down and see if there's an underground layer."

Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi are the descendants of the tomb-robbing captain. Although they only learned the skill late in life, they are considered experts in digging tunnels.

After hearing Gu Bai's words, the two men immediately picked up the engineer shovels.

"Master Gu, Lao Hu, where do we start?"

Fatty Wang asked again.

Even if there is a basement level, it does not necessarily face the top.

As long as there is a deviation, digging and digging will be a big project.

Gu Bai looked at the bronze coffin that was still hanging above the ground.

Perhaps, it's time to let this huge bronze coffin play its role.

Hu Bayi has now begun to use the Nine Palaces Bagua and Qingwu Feng Shui to determine the location in the Xuan Palace and calculate the location of the underground Hades Palace.

Gu Bai walked to the side of the bronze coffin and slowly pulled out the tiger-head knife.

The tiger-head knife flashed.

The bronze coffin made a loud friction sound.

Then it tilted down and hit the ground hard.

Gu Bai jumped and retreated three feet.

There was a rumbling sound.

After the bronze hit the ground, the ground collapsed.

A large hole was exposed.

"Hall of Hades?"

Shirley, Yang, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were all stunned.

Gu Bai's mouth curled up, revealing a pure and sincere smile, "It was an accident, definitely an accident."

"Come on, let's clean up the entrance and then we can go down."

Soon the four people followed the hole made by the bronze coffin and descended into the Hall of Hades.

Under the cracked hole, there are layers of wooden coffins.

That is, the Huang Chang Ti Cou often found in the tombs of high-ranking kings and princes in the Han Dynasty.

It's just that the wooden shelves underneath that should have been yellowish-colored are all black and messed up.

Even people have to be careful when stepping on it.

Otherwise, it will collapse directly.

Under the wooden shelf, you can see a blue coffin.

All around was black mud and sewage.

The coffin itself is crystal clear and has exquisite patterns on it, which makes it look very beautiful.

"It's strange. King Xian should be a good person and understand Feng Shui. Why are all the Huangchang Tikuo in the Hades Palace so rotten?"

Even the relatively careless Fatty Wang noticed something was wrong.

After Hu Bayi came down, he also touched the blue coffin.

"Not only is the feng shui wrong, but there's also something wrong with the material of this coffin."

"It looks pretty good. I'm thinking of getting two pieces to take back." Fatty Wang said as he secretly glanced at Gu Bai.

Gu Bai kept smiling, "The material of this coffin is called stone essence, which is the stone that only exists in the underworld in legend."

"There are some people in this world who have done bad things while alive. After they die, their bodies will be crushed by the Lord of Hell with stone mills and ground into bone residue and meat paste, and then let the vicious dogs of the underworld lick up the remaining pieces. The meat will turn into flies and mosquitoes, and will be swatted with fly swatters and smoked with mosquito coils, and will never be reincarnated."

"That grinding stone is made of stone essence."

"Are you still interested in getting two pieces now?"

Fatty Wang shuddered when he heard this. "So evil? Forget it. Didn't Chief of Staff Yang say that we should keep the cultural relics in their original state?"

Gu Bai smiled but didn't expose Fatty Wang.

For the next step of opening the coffin, Gu Bai asked Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang to take over.

The two men pulled up the trip rope with great anticipation, dipped it in cinnabar, and quickly opened the coffin lid.

Gu Bai watched the whole process, and only after the coffin was opened did he walk closer and put his hand on the stone coffin.

There is no corpse air in it.

Because of the experience of opening the above three coffins, several people have roughly anticipated what will appear in the stone spirit coffin. When the coffin was just opened, it looked like a relatively intact human head.

The eyes of the human head were left with two eye sockets with swirling scars.

There is a jade hoop around the neck.

The lower body is wrapped in white cloth.

When Gu Bai started working on this piece of white cloth, he had an inspiration. It has a name called Soul-Wrapping Cloth.

It is woven with special materials, and there are also some symbols written on it with special materials, which cannot be seen after it dries.

It's a pity that the soul-wrapping cloth deteriorated after being exposed to the air.

After the soul wrapping cloth was opened, there was a pair of dried human legs inside.

There is no doubt that it belongs to the general in the bronze coffin above.

In addition, there is a skeleton made of gold.

The skeletal frame is missing the ribs in front of the heart in the chest.

Fatty Wang couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the golden shadow bones.

"Master Gu, can I take something like this that has no cultural value?"

Gu Bai nodded, and Fatty Wang happily stuffed the skeleton rack into his backpack.

Shirley Yang frowned.

Gu Bai comforted her, "Forget it, it's hard to take it out anyway."

Gu Bai had some idea of ​​what was happening behind King Xian's tomb.

It would be difficult for four people to get out alive based on their strength alone, and they might even have to compete with each other when the time comes.

As for the good things, they can be put everywhere in Gu Bai’s storage space.

This golden skeleton gave Fatty Wang some psychological comfort.

Otherwise, after digging for so long, three coffins would be opened, and there would be no material stimulation, which would easily affect morale.

Shirley Yang shook her head and said nothing more.

Gu Bai's gaze was focused on an inconspicuous dark little thing in the middle of the golden shadow bone.

It looks like it's only the size of a child's fist.

The color is deep red and black.

It is somewhat similar to the witch's tongue that Fatty Wang found under the witch robe of Minglou.

After Gu Bai picked it up, a prompt sound was heard immediately.

[You touch the Jade Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart and gain a small amount of energy]

Gu Bai was shocked.

Qiqiao exquisite heart?
Gu Bai’s first reaction was Bigan.

Then realized it was impossible.

The great priest who had his heart ripped out could not be King Zhou's uncle.

Although the dates do match up...

I'm going, I can't think about it too much.

Gu Bai immediately put the jade seven-aperture exquisite heart into the storage space.

Although, he has not yet figured out the use of this seven-aperture heart.

But Gu Bai knew that this thing was definitely not ordinary.

According to previous experience, it may need to be integrated with something to play its role.

In that case, just put it in the storage space first.

Apart from the shadow bone substitute, there are no other funerary objects in the stone spirit coffin in the Hades Palace.

Fatty Wang was somewhat disappointed.

Hu Bayi is full of confidence.

"Now that we have found the Hades Palace and confirmed the existence of the substitute figure and bones, it will be easy to find the real tomb of King Xian."

"On the top of the Xuan Palace, which represents the human world, there must be a layer representing the fairy world. The real coffin of King Xian must be hidden in the so-called fairy world."

Several people immediately climbed into the Xuan Palace along the wooden coffin that was about to rot and collapse.

Hu Bayi used the compass to determine the position and quickly found the place directly above the substitute's figure.

Several flashlights were shined at the same time.

Soon, something unusual was discovered at the top of Xuan Palace, directly above the Shadow Bone.
