Chapter Sixteen: Breaking the Dark Array and Obtaining a Rare Treasure

  Retrieve the corpse-locking net from the ground, pick up the zombie-suppressing talisman that had just fallen off, and stick it back onto the zombie's forehead. This monster is now taken care of.

  Back in the tomb hall, everyone saw me and Sima Lin return safely, and they all let out a long sigh of relief. Hou Ling walked over to me and brushed off the dust on my body, saying: "You really scared me to death, Ghost Path brother, I've never seen a moving zombie before."

  "Sima brother, that move of yours, 'Kui Xing Ti Dou', is really formidable." I didn't pay attention and continued to talk to Sima Lin.

  "Hehe, Ghost Path Big Brother's move is indeed a must-have technique for Mò Jīn School Lieutenant, specifically used to kill zombies. However, if you encounter a powerful one, it may not be enough to keep up with. It still depends on individual skills." said Sīmǎ Lín Qiān modestly.

  Hou Ling was still staring at the female zombie in shock. Liu Di, on the other hand, looked at Sima Lin with some disdain and said loudly, "This zombie is nothing, sister! I can take care of it with Big Brother's golden knife. The green-haired corpse king we met last time in Guzhang was truly terrifying. Not only could the rice-husk hoof not hurt it, but even the golden knife couldn't cut it down. It seemed like there was no way to deal with it. Big Brother fought it for an entire night and almost used up all his methods, yet it still managed to escape."

  Hou Ling's eyes widened in shock, and I couldn't help but secretly laugh at Liu Yi's boastful words. Patting Hou Ling on the shoulder, I said, "Don't worry, Ling Mei, that Corpse King may be formidable, but I can still handle it. However, we need to prepare more thoroughly next time before we go catch it again."

  Although the female zombie was re-sealed, this array was still not chaotic and those stone coffins could not be easily moved. It was impossible to relocate all the stone coffins. Everyone had already deeply understood this truth, but where would they be willing to give up the treasure at the end of the stone coffin? They could only turn their heads to look at San Di, hoping to know something from him.

  The third brother saw everyone looking at him and shook his head helplessly, saying: "I also don't know the way to break the formation."

  It seems that hope often brings greater disappointment when it appears. Clearly seeing the treasure trove shining with golden light in front of us, yet we can only stare blankly, leaving everyone extremely disappointed.

  Everyone has already walked to the last layer of the treasure trove in front of the tomb. How can we bear to turn back now? But we also can't just stand here, the air inside is very foul and staying for too long is not good for our bodies. We must think of a solution as soon as possible, otherwise, we will have no choice but to return by the original route.

  When everyone was at a loss, the third brother who had been thinking for a long time suddenly said: "Although my master didn't teach me how to crack the Taiyin formation, I think this Taiyin formation must rely on yin energy to show its power. If we break the yin pulse here and remove all the yin energy from here, can we do it?"

  "It's really unscrupulous to ruin someone's family fortune! Do you want Big Brother to lose his yin virtue and end up in hell after he dies?" Sixth Brother said with a red face, speaking without reserve.

  "You're such a rotten mouth, I'm not dead yet and you're already thinking about me going to hell after I die. If there's really no other way, then this is the only method left. Without money, isn't it just like living in hell? It's better for me to live in paradise while I'm still alive, who cares how I'll be after I die?"

  I smiled and finished, then took out cinnabar, peach wood pen, ink mixed with peach wood powder, yin-yang mirror from my bag. Then I ordered everyone to clean up the dust on the ground, poured the cinnabar into the ink, and drew a very large Wu Xuan diagram on the ground.

  He drew the Five Mystical Diagrams, bit his tongue and spat blood into the diagrams, reciting the true words. The yin-yang mirror emitted a red light that shot into the diagrams. Suddenly, the diagrams also rose with a great red light, absorbing the yin energy in the tomb. The yin energy in the entire tomb gathered into a swirling vortex, rushing towards the diagrams. Before long, the tomb was completely devoid of yin energy, and it became refreshingly clear.

  I silently watched as the yin energy was absorbed by the Wu Xuan diagram, and with a guilty conscience, I said: "Master, I used our sect's treasure to break the yin pulse here. If you knew about it, you would definitely scold me. But in order to get close to Sima Lin and learn from him the clues to lift the curse on your body, I couldn't care about that anymore."

  The yin pulse broke, and I hastily ordered everyone to kneel down on the ground and pay their respects to the stone coffin in front of them with three bows. Without the yin energy, this yin array method is like a mere formality. Standing in front of the stone coffin, I said loudly: "People die for wealth, birds die for food, sorry about that, tomb owner, it's your own fault for putting too many treasures in the tomb." After finishing speaking, I walked to the very front and entered the stone coffin.

  Along the gap in the middle of the stone coffin, everyone tried not to touch it and walked along. The stone coffin still fell countless times. Only then did they realize that there were extremely many stone coffins here, and it was impossible to say how many, but at least four or five hundred. If all of them were female corpses, then the tomb owner's wives in his lifetime would be too numerous. It is unknown whether these wives who were made into zombies could obtain his favor when they were alive.

  As we passed through the stone coffin, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. The ground was filled with gold and silver, leaving us dazzled and unsure of where to look first.

  Sixth brother hastily reached out to pick up the treasure, but Sima Lin saw this and loudly shouted: "Don't touch these treasures with your hands first."

  The six brothers were shocked and looked at Sima Lin with confusion. Sima Lin pointed to the jewels on the ground and continued, "You see, these jewels have a deep black color, they must have been stained with deadly poison."

  As expected, all those jewels were emitting a black glow. If Sima Lin hadn't stopped him in time, Sixth Brother would have probably been poisoned by now.

  I couldn't help but silently curse the tomb owner's ruthless and sinister mind for setting up traps everywhere, not satisfied until a few people were killed.

  Everyone followed Sima Lin's method, took off their outer clothes, wrapped them in their hands, picked up some of the most precious jewels and put them into their travel bags. Everyone's face was filled with a joyful expression, as if all the hardships they had experienced before had been thrown away to the ends of the earth. Only Er Di was still constantly sizing up this place.

  I asked Second Brother who hadn't moved his hands: "Second Brother, are you looking at the feng shui here? Where is the tomb owner buried?"

  I only saw my second brother pointing with his hand to the southeast corner of the stone room and softly saying to me: "Big brother, look over there."

  Following the direction of his finger, a small stone house was found in the southeast corner. The light there was very dim and a red lotus flower was faintly visible, emitting an auspicious aura. Everyone's attention had been caught by the gold and silver on the ground, and no one had noticed this hidden little place before.

  "Ah! The Blood Jade Lotus, the most precious treasure in the tomb!" exclaimed Sima Lin.
