Views:

After much persuasion, Fang Pengguang finally left with Liu Peng's body on his back. When he returned to Cui Zuofei, Cui Zuofei took out a pack of cigarettes, threw one to him and said, "It seems like Fang Pengguang is very attached to you. You two are not having an affair, are you? Haha. ┃Text first published" Cui Zuofei started laughing when he said this.

"Get lost, it's great that the son of a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau is so loyal. It's just that he is a little childish sometimes, even though he is such a grown-up." Thinking of Fang Pengguang, I smiled. Fang Pengguang is really an interesting guy.

Brother Qingfeng nodded after listening to me and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. I just found a mechanism in the coffin, and there is a downward staircase. I think this should be the entrance to the main tomb. We will rest for two hours and then go down. But we have to be careful. Who knows what is down there? Safety comes first, okay?"

"Okay, I understand." I nodded, then carried Wu Zhicong to a corner to rest. After all, he was my employee, and I couldn't just abandon him. After I sat down, I suddenly felt sleepy. I guess I was really tired, and I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

I don't know how long I slept, but I felt like I just closed my eyes, and when I opened them, Brother Qingfeng was already shaking me. I rubbed my sore eyes and looked around. Wu Zhicong had already woken up and was sitting beside Wu Zhiyuan's body in a daze.

"How long has it been?" I stood up, stretched my body, and then asked Brother Qingfeng.

"I don't know. They all fell asleep. It was the little guy Wu Zhicong who woke up first. Okay, eat something and get ready, then go downstairs." After saying that, Brother Qingfeng took out a bag of biscuits and a bottle of water from his backpack and threw them to me.

"The food should be almost gone." I said after taking a sip of water. Brother Qingfeng nodded: "Well, it can still support for two days. If we move quickly, it will be fine." Brother Qingfeng sighed and said: "I don't know what difficulties will block us in the future."

"Brother Qingfeng, I think fate has discovered that we are looking for the Yin-Yang Record. We came to this ancient tomb probably because he led us here and deliberately wanted to use this ancient tomb to kill us." I thought about it and said.

"I know." Brother Qingfeng nodded.

"So are you going to continue exploring?" I frowned, but Brother Qingfeng smiled and said, "But there is also a Yin-Yang Record in this tomb. My information is very accurate. Besides, didn't Wu Zhiyuan say that this is the tomb of Mr. Guiguzi? If so, it proves that my information is correct."

"Uh? Why do you say that?" I asked with a frown.

"Do you know why Guiguzi is so powerful?" Brother Qingfeng asked with a smile. "I don't know." I shook my head. When Brother Qingfeng saw that I didn't know, he explained it to me.

It turned out that according to legend, when Guiguzi's master ascended to heaven, he left behind a bamboo slip with the words "Heavenly Book" written on it. When he opened it, there was not a single word from beginning to end, and Guiguzi was puzzled for a moment. But he lit a torch again and took a look by the light. He jumped up in fright, and there were golden lights flashing on the bamboo slip, and lines of tadpole characters sparkling.

After Guiguzi discovered the secret of the golden book, he read it once every night and got a book every night. On the first night, he got the book of diplomacy, on the second night, he got the art of war, on the third night, he got the book of getting rich, on the fourth night, he read "The Book of Cultivating Nature and Cultivating the True Self", on the fifth night, he read "The Book of Fortune Telling", on the sixth and seventh nights... Guiguzi would read it once every night, and got a new book every time, including books on heaven and earth, governing a country and maintaining peace, official career and economics, astronomy and geography, astrology and numerology, and elixirs and health preservation. There was everything in it, and it was inexhaustible.

After I finished listening to Brother Qingfeng's words, he suddenly asked, "You mean the book in Guiguzi's hand is the Yin Yang Record?"

After listening to me, Brother Qingfeng nodded in appreciation and said, "That's right, the Yin-Yang Record doesn't just record the methods to solve the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, it also contains a lot of knowledge, which is why it is known as the first strange book in ancient times."

When I heard Brother Qingfeng say this, I nodded immediately. At this time, Cui Zuofei also came over, handed me a copper coin sword and said, "Use this for self-defense."

I looked at the copper coin sword in my hand and nodded, and suddenly felt that Cui Zuofei had a lot of copper coin swords on him. Then I took out a military dagger. This dagger was tied to our legs before entering the tomb. Later, I forgot about it. Now I have no weapons on me, so it can be used.

I walked up to Wu Zhicong, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Brother Cong, do you want to go down with me?"

Wu Zhicong turned around, took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Well, the past is the past."

Then we walked to the side of the coffin, and I touched it. It was made of some stone. There was a stone toad inside next to the pillow. Brother Qingfeng reached out and grabbed the stone toad and twisted it. Suddenly, there was a sound of a mechanism, and a secret passage appeared in the middle of the coffin. I took a look and it looked like a staircase, similar to the one we came down from just now.

Brother Qingfeng took the flashlight and walked down first, followed by Cui Zuofei, me, and Wu Zhicong. This passage was similar to the previous one, just a little narrower and also quite dry.

This time we walked for a longer time, about an hour, turning left every ten minutes, and finally we reached the bottom. Brother Qingfeng guessed that we had reached the bottom of the mountain, because the surroundings were not as dry as before, but became very humid, and a lot of moss grew on the stone steps.

When I reached the bottom, I frowned as soon as I saw it. It was about 50 square meters in size and looked like a cave with a small pool of mercury in the middle.

This place is very different from what I imagined. I originally thought it would be extremely luxurious, but I didn't expect it to be such a cave. However, there is no Yin-Yang Record here. I frowned and asked Brother Qingfeng: "Brother Qingfeng, where is the Yin-Yang Record?"

Brother Qingfeng frowned as he looked at the cave-like place in front of him, shook his head and said, "It's strange, really strange." Then he looked around and touched some stones, as if he was trying to find some mechanism. Cui Zuofei and I immediately went to help, but after searching everywhere, we didn't find any mechanism button.

"This is definitely not the entrance, but where is the mechanism?" Brother Qingfeng said a little angrily after searching everywhere.

"There, I saw it." Wu Zhicong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pointed at the pool of mercury and said to us.
