Chapter Thirty-Three: Opening the Coffin

  When I jumped into the cave with a thud, I suddenly found that I was too familiar with this place. It's already my third time here, but this time my mood is completely different from before.

  The first time, with Zhao Feiyu entering, I was looking for Mu Rong's trail. At that time, my heart only had hatred. The second time, I just wanted to figure out the secret on Guo Lao's body, at that time, it was anxiety. And this time, it's actually more relaxed. I no longer care about so much, just want to accompany my two brothers to make a good trip.

  I was still the first one to enter the cave, but this time when I entered, there were no needles on those stairs.

  I looked at the empty stage and for a moment I really didn't know what to say.

  Zhao Feiyu and Kong Yiyi came down one after another, but Zhao Feiyu walked to the front of the stairs. Zhao Feiyu's hand lightly swept across the surface of the stairs, at this time the surface of the stairs had changed.

  Another white mist slowly rose from the steps, just like the ghost that Old Guo had conjured up with his blood last time.

  Zhao Feiyu calmly asked me for the meteorite, then lightly scratched it between his fingers, and afterwards placed his hand in front of the ghost.

  That ghost was very casual and sucked away Zhao Feiyu's blood. However, this ghost was very careful, just a small mouthful, not like the last time that ghost.

  The ghost finished digesting Zhao Feiyu's blood and looked at us three before returning to the bottom of the stairs.

  Suddenly I had a feeling of being fooled.

  Zhao Feiyu stood confidently in front of the stage, while Kong Yizi and I couldn't help but suspect that Zhao Feiyu was already ill. And it wasn't a light illness...

  This clearly is a transaction. Who knows what that ghost will come up with! I glanced at Kong Yiyi, signaling him to be prepared. Perhaps the thing that comes out later will catch us off guard.

  Time ticked away, but the stairs were motionless, and even Zhao Feiyu was silent. I and Kong Yat had been waiting for a while, getting impatient. I furrowed my brow, looking at Zhao Feiyu, and just as I couldn't bear it anymore and was about to step forward, Zhao Feiyu suddenly noticed my movement.

  "Don't move!" Zhao Feiyu shouted at me, and I really didn't dare to move.

  What's going on here! I glanced at Kong Yi again, and Kong Yi shook his head at me, indicating that I shouldn't make too many moves.

  I just kept my temper in check, and repeatedly told myself in my heart that once I get out of here, I must give Zhao Feiyu a good beating first! Without saying anything, he brought me and Kong Yi to this place to fool around.

  After waiting for a while, I really lost patience! At this moment, Zhao Feiyu said in a low voice: He's here!

  What's coming? What has arrived?

  The stairs started moving and were sinking downwards. The commotion was huge, and the three of us standing in place could feel the vibrations all around us. I didn't dare make any movements!

  A lot of dust fell from above our heads, and in a little while, the clean clothes I had just changed into were dirty again.

  As a Virgo and a cleanliness freak, I'm really annoyed! This is also why I dislike messy people!

  I didn't dare to shake off the dust on my body until Zhao Feiyu made a move. Zhao Feiyu stood in front of the steps and said seriously to me: Xiao Lin, after we enter from here, we will be sinners. The two of us must be involved in this matter, we have broken the cause, this is the result. Cause and effect, that's how it is.

  I roughly understood Zhao Feiyu's meaning. I looked at Kong Yi and patted his shoulder, saying: "If not, you might as well not go down anymore. After all, following us, it's estimated that there won't be a good outcome."

  Kong Yī turned out to have hung the Buddhist beads on his hand, and he patted the backpack behind him, smiling at me: "Old rules, ah. Your backpack is full of your magical tools, Fei Yu's backpack is also a magical tool. My magical tool is just this string of Buddhist beads, so my backpack is all water and food. You say, if I don't go, won't you two starve to death?"

  He and Zhao Feiyu looked at each other with gratitude. He didn't say anything earth-shattering, but just told me and Zhao Feiyu that he was willing to accompany us to resolve this karma.

  "What's down there, Master roughly told me. While we haven't gone down yet, let's summarize the intelligence first." Zhao Feiyu looked at the stairs and took out a flashlight from his bag, saying to us.

  I and Kong Yat also took out our flashlights, making all necessary preparations.

  "This place is just like the cave in Hei Zhu Gou. Maybe if we go in, when we come out, it won't be us anymore." Zhao Feiyu's eyebrows furrowed unnaturally as he spoke. "Huai Shu Village is a naturally yin place, whatever ghosts are raised here, what comes out isn't simple. A long time ago, a big battle happened here, everyone was trying to kill one soul. Countless people died or were injured. In the end, the seniors in the circle used dragon energy to calm this place down. And that person really liked dragon energy."

  When I heard Zhao Feiyu say this, I suddenly understood who he was talking about.

  "Is he particularly interested in something on me?" I raised my head and looked at Zhao Feiyu, asking with a half smile.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at me with great frustration, and finally he couldn't remain calm anymore. He shouted at me: "Mu Lin, you idiot! This place was originally mine to guard! You're always grabbing things! What's the point of grabbing?! Now that something has happened, I'll have to deal with it together with you! You must have been a woman in your previous life and got abandoned by your husband on your wedding night, so now you're taking revenge on me, right?!"

  Facing Zhao Feiyu's violent outburst, Kong Yī calmly sang a Buddhist mantra and said: Amitabha. I think you two were like this in your past lives. The donor should prepare to accumulate virtues himself. Amitabha!

  I'm too lazy to get entangled with Zhao Feiyu, I just hinted at him to continue.

  Zhao Feiyu took a deep breath, stabilizing his emotions. He continued: "Mu Lin, you've come here. The people from Jianghe have also set their sights on this place. The Ghost Building can only make it seem like just a Dragon Vein replica. Fortunately, the events that occurred here in the past are now known only to some of the higher-ups in the Ghost Building. However, Jianghe has still dug up the secrets of this place."

  "So, the riverside agency set a trap and I fell for it step by step. And they let me release the dragon vein, which led to all this happening here. Moreover, Ghost Building sent us here with an obvious intention - to get me killed?" I looked at Zhao Feiyu, now understanding why Old Man Guo was being so cautious.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at me, shook his head calmly and continued: Since the husband has already recognized you as the master, he will not let you die so easily. I don't know how to kill him either, but both Suo Yan senior and Master think that only you can stabilize him once again.

  When I heard this, my head was a bit big. I just nodded lightly and was about to jump into that dark passage when Zhao Feiyu suddenly pulled me back and said: "He died nine times... buried eight times... the last time, he disappeared."

  Zhao Feiyu's words completely stunned me. What does it mean to have died nine times and been buried eight times! Does this last sentence mean he is still in the world of the living?

  Kong Yī heard this and furrowed his brow. For a moment, he was motionless, unsure whether to continue or not.

  "His reincarnation, isn't that right......" After a long time, Kong Yi slowly spat out this sentence. Kong Yi looked at me, as if he suddenly understood something, and he slapped his forehead, pointing at me loudly shouting: Fei Yu! You mean to say! He also has a wife and child! And he's still alive! He's still in the world!

  At that time, I just wanted to say "damn it..."

  Zhao Feiyu nodded, looking at me and saying: Kong Yiyi was right, this is said to be the last place he died. From then on, no one really saw him again. But now, he has been reincarnated. This circle is going to be chaotic.

  I just wanted to die at that time.

  What I've gotten myself into is a married woman with a husband who's still alive!

  Qin Shi Huang, now that you have obtained what you wanted, why must you be reborn again?

  I looked at the pitch-black hole and didn't say much, just slowly moved downwards. On this road, my brain can be said to be completely unable to digest so much information.

  What's down there?

  Qin Shi Huang, the emperor of all ages. Later generations have evaluated him with both praise and criticism. However, his killing of countless people is indeed true. In the realm of the supernatural, he is also considered a master worthy of admiration. Unfortunately, in the end, he committed too many mistakes in order to obtain immortality.

  Burning books and burying Confucians, or building the Great Wall, or sending Xu Fu to find elixirs overseas, all these were done for the sake of his son. The only son of Zhao State, if not for Zhao Kuo's sacrifice, would have been gone by now. However, where did Qin Shi Huang's son come from?

  Since Zhao Kuo said that, I and Fuyin have merged. I tried to look at Fuyin's memories, but they all failed. Fuyin seemed unwilling to provide me with more memories, and I almost knelt down for it. No, even if I knelt down, it couldn't see anything.

  Zhao Feiyu mentioned that big war, I heard it from my father. My dad said that the battle lasted for almost a month, with countless deaths and injuries, all because of a fight over a dragon vein. But now it seems, my dad lied to me.

  Zhao Feiyu was probably scared when he learned about this news. But why did Old Guo only tell Zhao Feiyu? Old Guo must have his own plans, right?

  After thinking about it, I've already reached the bottom. I turned on my flashlight and walked inside, but there was nothing as terrifying as I had imagined. It's very safe and quiet.

  There is only one coffin below, and on the surface of the coffin there is a golden dragon. I stood in front of the coffin for a long time, but I didn't have the courage to open it.

  Zhao Feiyu and Kong Yī arrived, seeing me standing in front of the coffin in a daze. After walking to my side, Kong Yī asked faintly: Are you opening the museum?

  After a long time, I put down my backpack and gritted my teeth: Let's go!
