In the Yellow Weasel tomb.
Shirley Yang walked ahead.
She was the youngest and bravest among the expert team.
"Such strange smoke. We could see the mist outside, but as soon as we entered, it dissipated."
Looking at the smoke inside the cave, Shirley Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Huh, that's odd. There are talismans in this yellow weasel's tomb? Could it be that the yellow weasel has become a spirit?"
A young expert beside her couldn't help but joke as he looked at the scattered talismans on the ground.
"I doubt a yellow weasel could become a spirit. It's just a folk tale. Perhaps a Taoist priest performed rituals here."
"Or maybe they set off firecrackers."
A middle-aged expert chimed in.
Everyone nodded, thinking it was possible.
After all, no one had ever seen a yellow weasel become a spirit, and they couldn't even imagine what that would look like.
"Quick, look! There's a room inside!"
"Ah, what a shame, it's been burned down."
When everyone arrived at the yellow mansion, they gasped in surprise.
To find a mansion inside such a tomb was simply unbelievable.
Moreover, the house was large, like a mansion for the deceased.
"Who was so wicked as to burn down someone's tomb? No wonder the tomb mound is emitting green smoke."
"Could there have been any valuable relics inside that were destroyed?"
A group of young scholars were quite agitated.
"This mansion must have been built by a wealthy lord. Although it's burned down, judging by the materials used, it should be fine nanmu wood."
"It was likely built about a few decades ago."
As expected of Professor Li, he could tell the construction time of the house at a glance.
"Given the time frame, the chances of finding relics here are slim. However, since they provided us with a map of this place, there must be a reason."
Professor Li said, and the group proceeded deeper.
When they reached the familiar platform, everyone froze.
On the platform, countless charred yellow weasel corpses were densely packed, covering the entire area.
Since human skin is flammable, there were no traces left.
"So many yellow weasels! Could this really be the tomb of a Great Immortal Yellow Weasel?"
Xiao Guang spoke from the side.
He was the best student among the young scholars.
Professor Li shook his head.
"The word 'Great Immortal' should not be spoken lightly. We are experts and have influence."
"There must have been a fierce battle here earlier, which is why there are so many yellow weasel corpses. However, yellow weasels are not protected animals, so it's fine."
Professor Li said, then led Professor Chen and the others forward.
The next moment, a golden coffin not far away caught everyone's attention.
"Look! A golden coffin!"
"No! It's a bronze coffin, just coated with gold powder."
"I think they want us to take this away. This coffin has great research value."
Professor Li said, and he stepped forward to examine it.
There were some burial objects inside, mostly gold and jewels.
Apart from these, there was nothing else.
Professor Chen was completely bewildered.
Good heavens, why did Professor Li explore tombs without any incidents, while he almost died in one?
Was this some kind of curse?
And most strangely, why was Professor Li's exploration so smooth, without encountering any danger? It was outrageous.
Shirley Yang was also a bit disappointed. According to the plot, shouldn't a white-haired zombie have appeared?
"This coffin is preliminarily judged to be from the Warring States period. This fellow must have moved it from somewhere."
"Everyone, let's lift the entire coffin out later and take it back for research."
"The inscriptions on it seem to be a dialect from a certain dynasty."
Professor Li said excitedly, and the experts quickly grabbed a corner each, preparing to lift the coffin out.
The Great Immortal Yellow Weasel would never have imagined that not only was its tomb mound emitting smoke, but its coffin would also be carried out for research after its death.
If it hadn't been killed by Zhang Tian, it would have likely risen from the grave.
Looking at the excited crowd carrying the coffin, Shirley Yang felt terrible. It was like children going to an amusement park, with no danger at all.
At the scene.
[Amazing, the Yellow Weasel must be cursing underground.]
[Haha, I'm dying of laughter, it's like repeated posthumous punishment.]
[So, tomb mounds emitting smoke is real. It doesn't deceive me.]
[Speaking of which, this Yellow Weasel is too unlucky! Not only did it provoke Zhang Tian and his team of ruffians, but it was also repeatedly punished posthumously.]
[Fortunately, the body isn't here, otherwise, they would definitely be studying the corpse.]
The scene was filled with noise.
And bursts of laughter.
Meanwhile, outside the interrogation room.
Professor Li's descendant watched the footage.
He clapped his hands excitedly.
"It matches, it all matches!"
"This scene is almost exactly the same as what my grandfather experienced!"
"It's also recorded in the diary, look."
Professor Li's descendant spoke excitedly, then held up a diary and gestured for the surrounding experts to gather around.
"Today, we discovered a tomb mound emitting green smoke on a hill in the northeast. We plan to go down and investigate."
"Inside, we found a modified Warring States coffin, which is very precious. We've decided to take it back for research."
Looking at the diary, the experts took a deep breath.
Before, they had some doubts about the authenticity of the brain-computer imaging.
However, after seeing that the footage was almost identical to the diary entries, their doubts were dispelled.
It was a perfect replica.
"Professor Li, with this, the authenticity of this footage can be completely confirmed."
"I really didn't expect Dr. Chen Xi to be able to develop such a powerful machine."
An expert beside him said.
"No, I think the biggest credit should go to Zhang Tian, not Chen Xi!"
Professor Li suddenly said.
"If Zhang Tian hadn't intentionally come here and deliberately played his memories, we wouldn't have known that the Nine Gates were a group."
"And that this world is so rich."
"We should thank him for his contribution. It's just a pity that the Nine Gates have disbanded."
Professor Li sighed.
Before the memories, he couldn't wait for the Nine Gates to be apprehended.
But now, he wished for the Nine Gates to be revived.
Such complex emotions swirled within him.
The others said nothing, their eyes fixed on the screen.
On the screen.
Three days had passed.
For these three days, the expert team had been studying the coffin without any success.
However, in three days, Xie Yuchen, along with three men, had arrived at Huang Shuliang's tomb.
During this time, two of the three men died. After all, Huang Shuliang's tomb was primarily based on illusions.
They had killed countless people in the world, so their chances of dying from illusions here naturally increased significantly.
Fortunately, Xie Yuchen preserved their bodies.
This way, the ritual could still be completed.
"Master, I will fulfill your wish for you."
Xie Yuchen thought to himself as he dragged two corpses across the Bridge of Helplessness.
Behind him, the last surviving middle-aged man's legs trembled. He never expected Xie Yuchen to bring him to such a place.
The mechanism opened.
An altar appeared.
Xie Yuchen tried to throw the two corpses onto the altar.
He looked at the middle-aged man again.
The next moment, after a scream, the last corpse was thrown on.
After the final corpse was placed, the altar emitted black light.
Streams of yin energy spread around.
"Is this the aura of souls? Can it really summon spirits?"
Seeing this, Xie Yuchen was overjoyed. If it could, he wouldn't even need to go to the Medicine King's tomb.
