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

At this moment, the fat man asked again, "What is this?"

As if stimulated by something, Huamei stared blankly at the female corpse on the stone platform, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

At this moment, Old Sheepskin walked heavily to the group, staring blankly at the corpse on the stone platform, and murmured, "My great Xianbei witch."

Then, as if realizing something, she shouted, "Great Xianbei witch!!! Eternal Heaven!!!"

At this point, Old Sheepskin suddenly knelt down on the ground and then slammed his head hard against the ground.

Seeing this, Ding Sitian quickly ran over, preparing to pull up the old sheepskin, and called out, "Grandpa Sheep, what's wrong with you?"

But the old sheepskin wouldn't listen to reason and kept kowtowing.

Bai Jing, who had been watching everything closely, noticed that Hua Mei seemed to be possessed from the moment she saw the corpse of the Great Xianbei witch. At this moment, she actually wanted to reach out and remove the golden mask from the Great Xianbei witch's face.

Bai Jing wasn't the only one who saw this; Hu Bayi obviously noticed it as well.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi quickly grabbed Huamei, calling out, "Huamei, Huamei, girl, girl!!!"

To be honest, Bai Jing always felt a bit awkward hearing Hu Bayi call her "Hua Mei Mei Zi" (a nickname implying a girl who plays the role of a flower).

Hua Mei was born in 46, while Hu Bayi was born in 50. That is to say, Hu Bayi is four years younger than Hua Mei, so it's a bit inappropriate for him to call her "Hua Mei Girl".

However, none of this falls under Bai Jing's jurisdiction.

Bai Jing glanced at everyone and said, "This should be the corpse of the Great Xianbei witch recorded in the Russian's notes."

Upon hearing this, the others naturally had no objections.

Bai Jing circled the corpse of the Great Xianbei witch, then looked at the body, clothing, and jewelry on her body and exclaimed, "Judging from the style of her clothing, this Great Xianbei witch should be wearing the highest ceremonial robes of the Xianbei people in the north during the Eastern Han Dynasty."

This person lived nearly 2000 years ago. To be so well-preserved after 2000 years, both the body and the clothing worn on it, can be considered national treasures.

Often, cultural relics are not just bronzes, sculptures, calligraphy and paintings; mummies are also cultural relics, especially the body of this Great Xianbei witch, which is definitely a national treasure.

However, Bai Jing knew that the reason why the Great Xianbei witch's corpse had not decayed after so many years was because this place was a turtle's sleeping ground. If the Great Xianbei witch's corpse was taken out rashly, it was very likely that the corpse would be reduced to ashes.

Thinking of this, Bai Jing shook his head with some regret.

Then, Bai Jing looked at everyone and said, "The reason this corpse is in this state is entirely due to the effect of the Turtle Sleeping Ground. Since we can't take it out anyway, everyone can wander around and see if we can find anything else we can take with us."

"Things that went out, right?"

After saying that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Bai Jing started wandering around the room.

This is the Japanese soldiers' storage room. All sorts of treasures and valuable experiments that the Japanese found in the storage room are placed here. Bai Jing naturally doesn't have the habit of entering a treasure trove empty-handed.

Bai Jing was wandering around when he heard the fat man shout, "Come and see what this is!"

Hearing the shouts, Bai Jing rushed over.

They saw Fatty Wang shining a flashlight into a corner where a shelf had fallen to the ground. Underneath the shelf, something seemed to be supporting it, preventing it from collapsing completely.

As Wang Pangzi shone his flashlight, everyone could vaguely see that the items under the shelf were faintly glowing with a green light.

Seeing this, Bai Jing exchanged a glance with Hu Bayi, then stepped forward and lifted the shelf.

The moment the shelf was moved aside, everyone finally saw what it was.

It was a green box.

The group exchanged glances and immediately realized that this must be the bronze box brought by the bandits from Northeast China, which the Russian had mentioned in his notes.

Fatty Wang stepped forward and picked up the bronze box. Bai Jing looked at the bronze box and said, "Weasel Head, this should be the bronze box that the Mud Society brought here from the Ghost Government Office."

Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is the body inside really the corpse of the mother of those weasels?"

Bai Jing naturally knew that there was indeed a white-skinned corpse inside, but he couldn't say that directly at the moment, so he immediately said, "That's unclear. Before it's opened, nobody knows what's inside."

Others nodded in agreement.

After examining the bronze box thoroughly, the fat man suggested, "Why don't we open it and see what's inside?"

Wang Pangzi was naturally very curious, and at this moment he had completely forgotten about the Russian notes and the deaths of the Kwantung Army members in the research building.

But Hu Bayi clearly hadn't forgotten these things. He stopped him, saying, "Fatty, this box is very dangerous. Don't underestimate it just because it's small. As the saying goes, a small temple has a strong wind, and a shallow pond has many turtles. Have you forgotten how those Japanese died?"

As far as Bai Jing knew, only the descendants of the Great Xianbei witch could open this bronze box without suffering any backlash. Anyone else who dared to open it would surely turn into a dried corpse like the Kwantung Army soldiers in the research building.

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, Fatty Wang clearly backed down and showed no intention of opening the bronze box.

However, the next moment, the thrush suddenly stepped forward and snatched the bronze box away.

Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi hurriedly asked in surprise, "Huamei, what are you doing?"

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current expression on Huamei's face is clearly off.

At this moment, the thrush was holding the bronze box in one hand, while its other hand reached out to the top of the bronze box, attempting to open it.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

Old Sheepskin reached out to stop them, saying, "You absolutely mustn't open it. If you open it rashly, none of us will survive."

Bai Jing seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of Hua Mei's inattention, threw a pebble that hit Hua Mei's wrist. Hua Mei felt the pain in her wrist and dropped the bronze box from her hand.

Bai Jing acted decisively, performing a forward roll to catch the bronze box.

Seeing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Hu Bayi quickly stepped forward to hug Huamei, who was still trying to snatch the bronze box.

Chapter 72 The Bronze Box and the Mud Meeting

But clearly, drawing eyebrows is not something you can give up on so easily.

"Let me go, give it to me, this is my lifeline."

The thrush struggled violently, trying to snatch back the bronze box while screaming at the top of its lungs.

Bai Jing ignored Hua Mei and instead looked directly at Fatty Wang, saying, "Fatty, get a cloth, wrap this up, and put it in your backpack."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang took the bronze box from Bai Jing and then went to find Bu.

He doesn't tolerate having his eyebrows drawn on.

Seemingly seeing the bronze box disappear into the distance, the thrush's reaction became increasingly calm.

Bai Jing knew a little about it; this bronze box had the ability to influence a person's mind, and it was very likely that Hua Mei's mind was affected just now.

Seeing that Huamei seemed to have calmed down a bit, Bai Jing looked at Huamei and said, "Huamei, there's nothing in that bronze box that can save lives; it's a harmful thing."

Upon hearing this, Huamei seemed to be provoked again and retorted directly, "How do you know the contents inside can't save lives? You haven't even opened it."

Hearing this, Bai Jing shook his head helplessly. Good advice is useless against a damned ghost.

Immediately, Bai Jing looked at Old Sheepskin and said, "I really don't know, but someone here does."

Old Sheepskin was somewhat flustered by Bai Jing's gaze and immediately tried to turn his head away.

But then Bai Jing continued, "Grandpa, now that things have come to this, just say what you have to say. Tell us what you've been hiding, or even a god couldn't save you."

Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, Old Sheepskin's eyes became evasive.

The others looked at the old sheepskin with confusion.

Old Sheepskin hesitated, wanting to say something several times, but the words always stopped him.

It's clear that Old Sheepskin is also very conflicted at this moment.

Bai Jing didn't urge him, just giving Lao Yangpi some time to think things through.

Finally, Old Sheepskin let out a deep sigh and then slowly began to speak.

“I do know exactly what’s inside that bronze box.”

At this point, Old Sheepskin fell silent for a moment, then, seemingly unable to resist, took a deep drag from his pipe at his waist.

Since Bai Jing met Lao Yangpi, he had hardly ever seen the other man smoke.

Clearly, Old Sheepskin's smoking habit wasn't very strong.

But at that moment, Old Sheepskin took many puffs before finally putting away his pipe.

Old Sheepskin inhaled the smoke into his lungs, which seemed to ease his mood somewhat. Then, a thick cloud of smoke billowed from his mouth and dissipated into the air.

Finally, Old Sheepskin spoke again.

"Back then, the old strategist of the Mud Society persuaded my brother Yang Erdan to cooperate with the Japanese, but in the end the Japanese turned their backs on us. At that time, my brother Yang Erdan opened the copper box and died together with these Japanese."

Hearing this, the others became even more curious. What exactly was inside that bronze box that possessed such power, killing so many people in an instant?

Fatty Wang has already returned.

Hearing what the old sheepskin had said, he immediately asked, "Old man, what exactly is inside this bronze box?"

It wasn't just Fatty Wang who had these questions; Hu Bayi was also puzzled as to what exactly was in that bronze box that would make so many people risk their lives to get it.

Bai Jing spoke up at this moment: "Legend has it that Huang Daxian has three treasures: a golden pearl, a red elixir, and a dragon talisman. The golden pearl is used to ward off evil, the red elixir to ward off evil, and the dragon talisman to exterminate evil. But I wonder what's in this bronze box?"

Upon hearing this, Old Sheepskin looked at Bai Jing with some surprise, but didn't think much of it.

He knew that Bai Jing was a tomb raider, and although he had never witnessed the tomb raiders' skills, he had heard many legends about them. Therefore, he was not too surprised that Bai Jing knew these things.

Immediately, Old Sheepskin said, "Young man, you are right. Huang Daxian has three treasures: the Golden Pearl, the Crimson Elixir, and the Dragon Talisman. And the things in this copper box are used to summon souls."

At this point, Old Sheepskin couldn't help but look at the somewhat dejected Thrush.

Immediately afterward, Old Sheepskin sighed.
