Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

After everyone heard Ji Changsheng's words, they were all confused.

Since none of these three demon coffins contained King Xian, where else could King Xian be except in the tomb below?

The fat man asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Mr. Ji, this tomb is so big in total, where else would King Xian hide?"

Just as Ji Changsheng was about to reply, he heard Wang Kaixuan exclaim.

"What is that!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw that at some point, there were several faint lights in the tomb.

Xiaowu and Yin Shuangyue had never been to the tomb often, so they were shocked when they saw this situation.

"There's a ghost!"

Even the fat man felt hairy all over.

"Damn, there really is a ghost!"

"We haven't even lit a lamp, where did this light come from?"

Wang Kaixuan immediately remembered something and his expression suddenly changed.

"Commander Hu, it's over, we forgot an important thing!"

Hu Bayi's face also darkened.

"We forgot to light the candles!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man looked down at the searchlight in his hand and asked in confusion.

"You two, the searchlights and flashlights we have are not broken. What candles should we light?"

"Having a candlelight dinner in a ghost place like this?"

Shirley Yang explained immediately.

"This is a rule passed down by Captain Mo Jin. Before opening the coffin, you must light three candles in the southeast corner of the tomb. If the candles do not go out, you can open the coffin and make a fortune."

"If the candle goes out, it means that the owner of the tomb does not agree and must exit the tomb immediately."

"In addition, you must exit the tomb before dawn."

"This is an agreement between the living and the dead. If the rooster crows and the lights go out, the gold will not be touched."

The fat man blushed and scratched his scalp in embarrassment.

"I thought that hanging the gold-touching talisman meant touching the gold captain. I didn't expect there were so many rules."

As he spoke, he pointed at the lights.

"But what does this mean?"

"Commander Hu, did the owner of the tomb think that we forgot the rules and lit it for us?"

Hu Bayi shook his head with a wry smile.

"We are here to open the coffin. Which tomb owner would help a tomb robber?"

While they were talking, Ji Changsheng had already walked to the light and said.

"It's a constant light."

When everyone saw this, they quickly moved closer.

After taking a closer look, I was shocked.

I saw several recessed holes on the wall of the tomb. There was a corpse in each hole, and the ever-burning lamp was hung on the corpse.

Six lamps in total, six bodies.

But surprisingly, these corpses are not human!

The weird corpse had a human upper body, but a fish tail on the lower body. It looked like a legendary mermaid!

But compared with mermaids, these corpses are very ugly, even a bit weird and hideous.

The fat man frowned.

"Is this an ugly mermaid?"

Hu Bayi recognized him at a glance.

"This should be the Nanhai Mermaid. It is recorded in ancient books that the Nanhai Mermaid's grease is a very good fuel. Once it is ignited, it can last for thousands of years."

"So in ancient times, some people captured them and used them to make everlasting lamps. However, the so-called immortality is an adjective. It just burns longer compared to ordinary grease."

Ji Changsheng smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

Shirley Yang said after observing carefully.

"I understand. There is white phosphorus in the wick of this ever-burning lamp. This thing will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air at normal temperatures."

"The tomb was sealed after the construction was completed, and the air was not circulated. When the oxygen was exhausted, the lights went out."

"We opened the tomb door to let air in, which ignited the white phosphorus."

Xiaowu and Yin Shuangyue breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter what white phosphorus or black phosphorus was, as long as it wasn't a ghost lighting the lamp.

Shirley Yang immediately frowned and said again.

"I understand. The ever-burning lamps are lit for the dead. There are six lamps in total. There should be six corpses in this tomb."

"There are three bodies in the demon coffin, and there should be one more under this hole. Counting King Xian and his wife, there are exactly six!"

At this moment, the black-backed Lao Liu next to him shouted.

"Look, there's more over there!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw five more lights on the other side of the tomb.

Shirley Yang was stunned for a moment.

"Why are there five more lights? Are there a total of eleven corpses here!"

"Mr. Ji, what's going on with the number of lights?"

Ji Changsheng didn't answer and walked over with a puzzled look on his face.

The others didn't know what happened and quickly followed.

When they came to take a look, the strange scene in front of them made everyone take a deep breath.

But among the five lamps, the largest one was hung on a lamp stand shaped like a bull's head.

This bull-headed lamp holder is made of bronze and may be a totem of an ethnic minority.

But there are four other smaller ones, but they are hung on four corpses!

These four corpses are not Nanhai sharks, but humans!

What’s even more bizarre is that these corpses are all children of about seven or eight years old. They are naked, with their limbs penetrated by iron nails and nailed to the bronze lamp stand.

The wick hung from their navel, and the lamp oil was in their bellies!

When Xiao Wu and Yin Shuangyue saw it, their expressions suddenly changed.

"It's so cruel to use children to make lamps. It's absolutely crazy!"

Even Fatty and Wang Kaixuan started to curse loudly. This was something only a beast inferior to a beast could do.

Hu Bayi suddenly realized it and said.

"These four lamps are not for the dead, but for the living!"

The fat man was stunned.

"For whom? For us?"

Hu Bayi shook his head with horror.

"For the guide boy!"

Then, he pointed to the other lamps.

The six merman lamps are for the people buried in the tomb. In addition to the three corpses in the demon coffin, there should be three more here. The total of six corpses are substitutes for King Xian.

The largest ox-head lamp should belong to King Xian.

And these four lamps are for the guide boy!

And the guide boy is not a corpse, so these four lamps are for the living!

After speaking, he looked at Ji Changsheng.

"Mr. Ji, am I right?"

Ji Changsheng nodded and said.

"Yes, this is indeed for the guide boy, but the number is wrong, there is one more."

Hu Bayi was stunned, and then reacted.

"In Taoism, three is a special number, the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and the three realms of man, ghosts and gods."

"One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things!"

Ji Changsheng said slowly.

"The Three Worlds Bridge we just saw is actually prepared for the Guide Boy."

"Three stone bridges correspond to three boys."

"But there is one more lamp here, whose is the extra one?"

In fact, he has already had the answer in his heart after reading the original book, but he is not sure.

The three Guide Boys refer to Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and Wang Kaixuan.

And the extra one should be him, Ji Changsheng!
