As the crowd watched in shock, outside the tomb.
The audience's hearts were pounding.
[Holy crap, did I see that right, a Flood Dragon? For real?]
[You before, I said I've seen a dragon, believe me? Before, I saw it on the news, it was a news report about dragon water spout, and there were traces of a dragon in the clouds.]
[Really, I saw that news too, it was on some small x-rated site.]
[Never mind that, holy crap, that Flood Dragon just now, they said it's from the prince's tomb, so it connects?]
[Amazing, to encounter a Flood Dragon like this, but what's going on with Zhang Qilin?]
[Will he get hurt? I feel so bad for him, all I feel is pity for Brother Qilin.]
[He was taken away by the Flood Dragon, he'll definitely come back later, just don't know if he'll be seriously injured.]
[Holy crap, the Judge statue right now is amazing, a Book of Life and Death, that's brutal.]
[If it were me, forget going in, just looking at it makes my heart jump out of my chest.]
As everyone discussed, at the North Li history class.
Upon seeing the Flood Dragon, the students looked at the professor.
"Teacher, I remember you said before that creatures like dragons are baseless myths, and without wings, they can't fly to the sky, but this..."
"Teacher, this Flood Dragon is so huge, its body must be so long, teacher, this has shattered existing knowledge, hasn't it?"
"Wow, the first time seeing a Flood Dragon isn't in a textbook, but in a flashback."
The students chattered, especially after seeing the Flood Dragon, they were all energized.
After all, in the eyes of history students, Flood Dragons were much more valuable than gold and jewels.
The old professor looked a bit troubled.
"Well, it might be a mutated Flood Snake, everyone, don't make a fuss."
"Believe in animal evolution."
The old professor spoke, and at this moment, he felt his words lacked conviction.
But as a lecturer, how could he openly admit the existence of dragons?
The world hasn't acknowledged it, and if he did, wouldn't he be ruining his own livelihood?
Moreover, it would make him seem unprofessional, and what if his professorship was revoked? He dared not be reckless.
"Everyone, look, the design of this tomb is more reminiscent of the Song Dynasty. Let's focus on the tomb first."
The old professor tried his best to steer the conversation away.
The students also began to discuss amongst themselves.
Outside the courthouse, Professor Li looked at his laptop.
"Professor Li, how did the expert team manage to go in there and find so many cultural relics back then?"
"Yeah, it's full of dangers here, and with just a slight mistake, one could die. The expert team back then didn't have any special skills, did they?"
"I truly admire the expert team back then, truly willing to pay any price for national treasures."
Some experts surrounded Professor Li, saying.
"I don't know either, the diary didn't record it, but the fact that Zhang Tian and the others donated this tomb and removed so many dangers, that's the key."
Professor Li said, and the others remained silent but their minds were already filled with constant speculation.
"I really want to know, after they robbed so many tombs, did they never fail?"
"And why can't we see those evil spirits anymore?"
The group chatted.
At this moment, in the scene.
Zhang Tian looked at the Judge statue.
He discovered that beneath the Judge statue, there was a black brush.
"Item: Judge's Brush!"
"Item Grade: High-grade magical artifact!"
"Item Function: Can be used with the Book of Life and Death to set up spells."
"Item Description: A cursed Judge's Brush. Once used, the user will be cursed, and their lifespan will be reduced by thirty years!"
The description came to his mind.
Zhang Tian was stunned for a moment.
Good heavens, another life-sacrificing equipment.
Would anyone really be willing to use this thing?
Or rather, only Zhang Qilin could wield it, right? He almost never dies, so thirty years is just a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of Zhang Qilin again, Zhang Tian's heart filled with more worry.
"If we want to pass, it seems we have to go through this Book of Life and Death."
Hu Bayi looked at the Book of Life and Death in front of him and spoke.
"Boss, there's a brush on that Judge statue. What do you call this? This is called 'Bishi' (pen-seeing)! He's looking down on us, can we tolerate this?"
Fatty looked at the Judge's Brush pointing at them and immediately jumped up.
"You little fatty, your abilities are lacking, but you know quite a lot."
Daoist Yimei couldn't help but say, looking inside.
"If my master is not mistaken, this brush should be the Judge's Brush."
"And with the appearance of the Judge's Brush, there should also be a Book of Life and Death inside."
Daoist Yimei said, and Zhang Tian nodded gently.
"It should be under this large Book of Life and Death, but we need to break the mechanism first."
Zhang Tian said, looking at Hu Bayi.
Hu Bayi was already circling around the Book of Life and Death, fanning himself with his fan.
"Master, look, isn't Old Hu very imposing?"
Fatty smiled and came to Daoist Yimei's side.
"My third disciple, this is called 'Jade Tree Facing the Wind'."
"Then Master, if Old Hu is Jade Tree Facing the Wind even though he's so dark, then Fatty is also Jade Tree Facing the Wind. Can you teach me a few moves?"
Fatty blinked again.
"You? Jade Tree Facing the Wind? At best, you're overgrown weeds."
After Daoist Yimei finished speaking, Fatty's face fell.
"The Book of Life and Death, legend has it, is one of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The heavenly book is the Investiture of the Gods, the earthly book is the Earth's Embryonic Membrane, and the human book is the Book of Life and Death."
"Boss, this should record the birth and death dates of Huang Shuliang."
"If we find his birth and death dates, then we can break the formation."
Hu Bayi carefully examined the mechanism formation in front of him and explained it with his limited knowledge.
"If we can find Huang Shuliang's birth and death dates, I might even be able to cast a divination for him."
Zhang Tian said.
Divining for the dead sounded a bit unbelievable, but it was indeed possible.
It could reveal what he did during his lifetime.
However, if Huang Shuliang was very powerful in his life, then Zhang Tian's words were nonsense.
"But we only know the name Huang Shuliang, where can we find his birth and death dates?"
Hu Bayi was a bit depressed. If he could calculate birth and death dates from just a name, then Zhang Tian might as well become an immortal on the spot.
After all, in this world, there were definitely not a few people named Huang Shuliang.
"Look, there are characters on it, we can try to infer, but the handwriting is not very clear."
Xie Yuchen pointed to the writing on the Book of Life and Death.
Indeed, there were faint characters on the Book of Life and Death, but because it was too far away, they couldn't be seen clearly.
"It seems we have to go onto the Book of Life and Death to see the writing clearly."
"And from that, deduce Huang Shuliang's birth and death dates."
Zhang Tian said, and everyone's expression became solemn.
This Book of Life and Death was different from the original. The characters were carved into square grids, and they couldn't be seen clearly from the outside.
It didn't look like it was directly carved on.
"Boss, our slogan is!"
Suddenly, Fatty shouted from the side.
"What?"
"If we fail, we die! At worst, we'll beg for help!"
Fatty shouted, and Zhang Tian's face turned black. He remembered that the slogan wasn't like this last time.
Looking at everyone, Zhang Tian knew that it was impossible to stop them.
"Okay, let's break the formation."
Saying that, the few of them nodded and strode towards the Book of Life and Death.
Upon entering the Book of Life and Death, the Judge's eyes suddenly turned a deep blue.
"Holy crap, Boss, look, the Judge's eyes are emitting blue fire!"
Fatty pointed at the Judge.
At this moment, the Judge's eyes were filled with blue flames, looking extremely terrifying.
"Stop the nonsense, quickly find the birth date!"
Zhang Tian shouted, and everyone looked around.
At the same time, the mechanism was activated, and the lifting platform began to rotate 360 degrees, not too fast, but not too slow either.
Below the Book of Life and Death was a bottomless abyss.
