Chapter 158 The Undertaker Is Weird (8000)

After the sobbing sound came out, the temperature of the entire tomb seemed to drop a lot and became icy cold.

Xu Bai put down the black knife Bai Lie in his hand, but when he put it down, he had already lifted the black knife Bai Lie slightly, and the entire bronze coffin lid was lifted up by him.

"The atmosphere group is very active."

A black shadow emerged from the coffin, turned into a residual shadow, and rushed towards Xu Bai. The speed was so fast that it was astonishing. It came to Xu Bai in just a blink of an eye.

Xu Bai turned the black knife Bai Lie back, and the fragments seemed to become a long whip, which severely whipped the black shadow. The black shadow was attacked and flew backwards, rolling for a long distance before stopping.

At this time, Xu Bai also saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly.

It was no longer a skeleton, but a dried corpse skin wrapped with bones, which looked like an absurd rack.

The clothes on his body were already tattered, and the specific shape could not be seen, but there were different pendants hanging around his neck and hands.

There is a necklace hanging around the neck of this mummy. The necklace is made of an unknown rope, and on the rope is a circle of animal teeth.

There are also animal teeth on the wrists and ankles, which looks wild and wild. Combined with the terrifying shape of the mummy, it gives people an extremely absurd feeling.

"These animal teeth..." Ye Zi seemed to have thought of something and said, "Sir, this should be a barbarian."

The barbarians are also a concern for the Great Chu.

When the Great Chu was first established, it was in a rhythm of internal and external troubles. At that time, the Great Yue Kingdom was eyeing it covetously, and there were also barbarians who wanted to devour the Great Chu and establish themselves as kings.

If the emperor at that time had not been very decisive and used the people in the rivers and lakes to unite, I am afraid that the current situation of the Great Chu would have been even more serious at that time.

But even if these threats were kept out, they did not disperse for a long time. In the border areas, the Great Chu, the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians often had friction.

Now hearing what Ye Zi said, Xu Bai had an idea. Could it be that this is the tomb of the barbarians? But why did the tomb of the barbarians come to Fenghuazhou in the great motherland?

This is a big doubt, but for now, Xu Bai can't think of a clue to solve it. More importantly, the mummy that was just repelled pounced again, like a machine that didn't know pain.

"Very strong, third-grade." Xu Bai said lightly.

The fragments scattered everywhere, as he finished this sentence, seemed to be sensed. The next moment, these fragments rotated rapidly, with boundless power and melodious music, covering the mummy in front of him.

The Gang Qi intertwined, like a black cloud pressing down on the city, wanting to destroy everything.

Being in the center of the Gang Qi, driven by the fragments, each fragment penetrated the body of the mummy.

In less than a breath, the mummy in front of him fell to the ground and was no longer moving.

Very strong mummy, dead.

Ye Zi covered his face, very helpless.

The young master is good in everything and is very gentle to others, but his temper easily offends people.

At the beginning, he kept saying that he was very strong, but this so-called strong didn't even come to him once.

Ye Zi felt that he was fine. The stronger the young master was, the happier he was, and it was the kind of happiness that could not be expressed in words.

But if a genius were here, I am afraid he would want to eat Xu Bai at this moment.

Xu Bai was not talking nonsense. He was indeed very strong. In this place that was not the main tomb, he could encounter the third-grade weirdness. It would be a lie to say that he was not strong.

If any young man came to this place, he would have to fight here for three hundred rounds.

But in the final analysis, the mummy met Xu Bai, a man who used the third-grade strength to defeat the first-grade.

The surrounding fragments closed together, turned into a black blade, and gathered again on the handle. Xu Bai sheathed the knife and walked to the coffin.

This guy turned out to be a barbarian, so the exploration of this tomb became more and more mysterious.

Now he had looked everywhere, and there was no passage, except for the last coffin.

When Xu Bai was in the coffin, he saw that there was still a board blocking the bottom of the coffin.

Xu Bai reached out and knocked on the board, and there was a hollow echo. Unlike other coffins, this one was empty.

It was empty, proving that there was space below, which meant that this passage had to go further down.

Xu Bai took out the black knife Bai Lie and chopped it on the stone slab below.

The next moment, the stone slab shattered, and a staircase appeared in front of him, leading directly to the dark underground.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, looked up and down, and waved to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi walked up and glanced at the dark staircase.

"Follow me." Xu Bai said.

Ye Zi nodded and followed Xu Bai silently.

The fourth-grade puppet was still walking at the back, acting as the rear guard.

When Xu Bai took his first step onto the stairs, nothing unusual happened. It was just a simple staircase that looked no different.

The passage where the stairs were located was very dark, and the space inside was not large. A normal person could touch the walls on both sides if he raised his hands flat.

Xu Bai tried it and just touched it with his hands raised flat. He was about to move forward, but the next moment, he found that what he touched was not normal.

The walls on both sides were not smooth, but had convexities and concave depressions. It felt like something was embedded on them.

Ye Zi followed behind Xu Bai. Seeing Xu Bai's situation, he raised his hands smartly and sensibly. White silk threads intertwined between his fingers, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

As the light came on, Xu Bai could also see the surrounding situation clearly.

On the walls on both sides, there were relief carvings, which looked unusually vivid.

Because it had been underground, it had not been eroded by the strong wind, so it could be seen clearly.

People wearing barbarian clothes, holding weapons, sitting on war horses, rushed into a city.

The scenes on both sides were perfectly connected. One city after another was rushed through by them, leaving behind wounds and mountains of corpses, but these corpses were wearing the clothes of ordinary people.

The people wailed, knelt on the ground, raised their hands, as if praying for God's blessing.

Blood, flames, gunpowder, corpses, these scenes are constantly integrated and constructed in it.

A scene is carved on the mural, like a purgatory on earth.

"Really not a human being!" Xu Bai frowned.

After entering the martial arts world, he killed many people, but basically did not kill these unarmed civilians.

War, there will always be deaths, but in Xu Bai's view, this endless killing has nothing to do with war.

The faces of the barbarians carved on the relief are also very vivid.

Each of them has an excited look on their faces, as if killing these civilians can bring them excitement.

This is not for war, but for that perverted desire.

Ye Zi also saw this scene, his chest like a mountain rose and fell slightly, and he walked to Xu Bai's side and said: "Young Master, the barbarians are like this."

"In their eyes, people other than themselves are no different from food. They only know how to kill, and even worship this kind of killing."

"Like this engraved on the mural, it is also a way for them to express their so-called glory."

While speaking, Ye Zi pointed to a mural, on which there was a barbarian carrying a military flag.

There were a few words written on the military flag, but they were the words of the barbarians, and Xu Bai didn't recognize them.

Ye Zi knew them, after all, there were too many things from childhood to university, and they were too miscellaneous, and there were many things that could be used.

"This is the Chimu tribe. The one you killed just now should be a thousand-household head."

The Chimu tribe is the words seen on the military flag mural just now.

And the thousand-household head is Ye Zi's guess.

The tribe is the way of life of the barbarians.

They have lived in the land of the barbarians for a long time, and have not established a new country, but live in tribes.

A tribe has at least a few hundred people, at most a few thousand people, and even tens of thousands of people.

Thousand-household chief, this is the official position of these barbarians.

A thousand-household chief manages thousands of people.

"Akamu Tribe?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "It seems that this may be the tomb of the leader of this tribe."

If, as Ye Zi described, a thousand-household chief can only block outside, then there must be important barbarians buried here, and the leader is a good guess.

"Keep going forward." Xu Bai hid this clue in his heart, continued to raise his feet, and walked inside.

Along the way, the carvings on both sides of the wall never stopped, and most of them were similar, but just similar, not repeated, that is to say, this so-called Akamu Tribe has caused endless killings

Killing, just because they like it.

Xu Bai said that today's trip, just walking through this passage has made him feel gloomy.

After walking for about an incense stick, there were finally new changes in front.

At the end of this passage leading to the underground, there is a bronze door, which is tightly closed and engraved with complicated patterns.

Just looking at the pattern, there is a fierce aura coming towards you. In the concave and convex parts of the pattern, there are some black bloodstains that have dried up.

"I heard that these barbarians like to use blood to water things to show their so-called power. It seems that the young master's guess is right. This may really be a barbarian tomb." Ye Zi looked at it for a while and said.

Xu Bai nodded: "Behind the bronze door, there must be something big waiting for me."

He pulled out the black knife Bai Lie, stretched out his hand, and gently slapped the bronze door with the knife, making a crisp sound of collision.

Apart from this, there was no other sound.

Xu Bai swung a knife, and the fragments hit the bronze door. The next moment, the bronze door shattered directly and turned into debris all over the sky.

When the bronze door was breached, Xu Bai's pupils suddenly shrank.

Feeling an extremely dangerous feeling, he hurriedly took a step back, pulling Ye Zi with him.

Behind the bronze door was an extremely vast space, filled with densely packed coffins. These coffins were round and guarded the center, and in the center was a huge coffin that was twice the size of an ordinary coffin.

The huge coffin also had complicated patterns, but in addition to the patterns, in front of the coffin, a man in ordinary clothes was kneeling with his back to him.

The kneeling position was facing the huge coffin in front and the exit of the underground passage in the back.

Next to this man, there was a black shovel.

"Shovel?" Xu Bai frowned and said, "Could this be the gravedigger who robbed the tomb?"

The feeling of danger just now has not disappeared, not only that, it is gradually spreading.

He couldn't figure out where there was a dangerous place here, but he always felt that if he stepped out, he would encounter something terrible.

"Ye Zi, you stay here." Xu Bai waved to the fourth-grade puppet behind him.

The fourth-grade puppet took the package from behind and handed it to Xu Bai, who then handed it to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi was stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly said: "Young Master, this place is very strange, don't take risks."

Xu Bai smiled and said: "Of course not."

As he finished speaking, the fourth-grade puppet that had handed over the things moved, raised its feet, and walked out of the passage.

Since you feel the danger, send someone to take a look. The most suitable person here is the fourth-grade puppet.

The fourth-grade puppet has no life, and he is controlling it. It is perfect for exploration.

When the fourth-grade puppet stepped out under the control of Xu Bai, the next moment, Xu Bai saw the danger approaching.

In front of Xu Bai, a thin layer of mist suddenly appeared on the ground. The mist was white and looked no different from ordinary mist, but as the mist swept over, the fourth-grade puppet standing on the ground suddenly stopped.

Then, bursts of hissing sounds appeared where the fourth-grade puppet was standing.

After the feet of the fourth-grade puppet touched the fog on the ground, black appeared.

"It seems that this is the mechanism, and it is a highly poisonous thing." Xu Bai knows poison techniques and can see that the fog is highly poisonous at a glance. The sense of danger just now comes from this.

But the level of his poison technique is still too low. He didn't see what kind of poison it is, let alone a solution.

Xu Bai frowned. Now it seems that he is stuck because of the poisonous fog in front of him. He is stuck to death.

At this time, the gravedigger who had been kneeling in front of the coffin finally moved. He turned his head and looked at Xu Bai's position with a mocking smile on his face.

Strangely, the white fog did not move around him, but stopped around him and did not erode him.

"Master Xu, I didn't expect you to come here. Do you want to come in and sit down?" The gravedigger's voice was mocking, but the content of his words was like a host greeting a guest.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "You are the one behind the scenes. Compared with the one who dealt with me before, you were exposed the fastest."

"I can't help it. Who made me have an insider? But it doesn't matter. I just need to achieve my goal." The gravedigger said slowly.

He had an unchanging smile on his face and still kept kneeling, but his head turned fiercely in the direction of Xu Bai.

"Lord Xu was so powerful in his lifetime. He had already caused a lot of trouble in the world of Chu. I wonder if you feel a sense of powerlessness now." The gravedigger continued to taunt, as if this taunting could bring him endless pleasure.

"No." Xu Bai said simply.

The gravedigger was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xu Bai to play by the rules.

"I understand. Are you trying to cover up your incompetence? You want to cover up because you saw yourself fail."

"Really not." Xu Bai spread his hands and said, "I didn't fail, why would I cover it up?"

The gravedigger was stunned. He pointed at the mist around him in disbelief: "You still say you didn't fail. Can you come in and fight me? You can't. I know your knife is strange and can turn into fragments, but I can tell you that these mists can rot everything. You can try."

While he was talking, the fourth-grade puppet had turned into debris all over the ground.

The mist rose and filled the surroundings, but it could not enter the passage where Xu Bai was.

In this era, all tombs must leave a way out.

The purpose is also very simple. If any unworthy descendants get into big trouble, this may become the basis for their comeback. Now it seems that this passage is a way out.

The voice of the gravedigger came from the white mist.

"This poison cannot be dispersed by the wind. If it is below the first level, it will kill you. You will never be able to break through."

"Just wait ten days. When I merge into this corpse, it will be your nightmare."

"You just said you don't have it, but I must let you have it!"

Xu Bai heard this and smiled: "It seems that your ultimate goal is to merge into this corpse. Is this corpse important?"

The gravedigger did not answer and did not speak at all. Obviously, he also knew that talking too much will lead to mistakes.

The scene fell into an eerie silence.

Xu Bai found a place to sit down, looked at the front not far away, and said: "Come out now, I'll give you a chance to live."

The gravedigger still didn't answer, obviously he ignored Xu Bai's words.

Ye Zi frowned slightly, the current situation was very dangerous, the other party was like a turtle shell, not coming out at all.

But for some reason, her own son was calm and composed, as if the other party's failure to come out gave her a chance.

Yes, that's the feeling.

She even saw the son sitting down, leisurely, and staring at the front.

But Ye Zi didn't say anything, didn't ask anything.

Following the son, you only need to play your remaining heat, and the rest is to trust the son unconditionally.

Even if it's death, it doesn't matter.

When she learned that the son disappeared, she planned to finish this journey and sink to the bottom of the river forever.

So... Ye Zi walked to Xu Bai's side naturally, and sat down as well, holding Xu Bai's arms with both hands and leaning on Xu Bai's shoulders.

"This is also good." Ye Zi thought.

It's too noisy outside, and it's good to be quiet now.

Xu Bai touched Ye Zi's head and stared at the front again.

In fact, if he encountered such a moment, he would definitely turn around and leave, because there was really no way to get in.

If he couldn't get in, he would still waste time here.

But... it's different now.

Through the white mist, he could see the huge coffin, looming.

And along with the looming coffin, there was also a golden progress bar right above.

There is a golden progress bar, so why go!

Isn't it better to grind here?

And looking at the rhythm of this progress bar, it is definitely a good skill. Not to mention other things, just the degree of slowness is different.

Just now I heard the gravedigger say that it would take ten days, so he could fill up the progress bar first in these ten days.

This progress bar appeared on the huge coffin, maybe it could solve the fog here.

By then... hehe.

Boy, let me see how arrogant you are.

I will definitely kill you.

With such a villainous idea, the more Xu Bai looked at the progress bar, the more he felt excited.

But sometimes, the more you want to settle down and fill up the progress bar, the more reality will not let you do so.

Xu Bai's dream is to have an endless progress bar every day, but now it seems that something has happened again.

"Tap tap tap tap..."

Behind Xu Bai, a series of footsteps came from the underground passage.

"At this time, at this place, someone actually came in?" Xu Bai was slightly surprised, stood up, turned his head and looked behind him.

Then, Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

Behind him, a group of people ran towards him. There were hundreds of them, forming a long line, filling up the passage.

These people were men and women, old and young, but they had one thing in common, that is, transparent silk threads were wrapped around their limbs.

"Master Xu, I'm here to help you!"

The group of people shouted in unison, deafening, shaking the underground passage slightly.

Xu Bai: "..."

These people... seem to be the soul controller?

Just as he thought of this, a group of people stopped in front of him.

Standing in the front was a woman controlled by silk threads.

The woman glanced at Xu Bai and said, "Master Xu, I'm here to help you!"

Xu Bai was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Ye Zi pulled his sleeve.

"Young Master, be careful, I suspect he is not a soul controller. To be able to control so many people, I don't know how strong a soul controller must be." Ye Zi whispered.

"Oh?" Xu Bai looked at the group of people with a slightly condensed gaze.

At this time, the woman in the lead covered her mouth with her hand, and under the control of the silk thread, she slowly spoke: "As expected of a member of the Ye family, these knowledge are indeed very profound."

Ye Zi raised her head, and a white light appeared in her hand. If the other party had any abnormality, she would first play a life-threatening magic music.

The woman in the lead turned around, clasped her hands, saluted Xu Bai solemnly, and said loudly: "The undertaker Wen family, Wen Si, greets Lord Xu."

Xu Bai looked at the woman with interest, and at the same time looked at Ye Zi.

Ye Zi was also slightly stunned. After feeling Xu Bai's gaze, she said: "The undertaker is an extremely ancient profession..."

Then, she explained the various situations of the undertaker to Xu Bai one by one.

Xu Bai listened while his eyes moved around these people.

When he finished listening to all the content, he realized that these so-called people were not people, but corpses.

The undertaker is similar to the soul controller, both of them are controllers, but they are more advanced than the soul controller.

Soul controllers take away the souls of others, while embalmers use the souls of others as the foundation and exert control on this basis.

Soul controllers can control living people, but embalmers can control both living people and dead people.

Of course, everyone has their own expertise. Embalmers are not as good at controlling living people as soul controllers. They mainly control dead people.

When a person just dies, the soul has not completely dissipated. That is when the embalmers use this as the basis for control.

As for the various special ways, they are the essence of embalmers, which outsiders are not allowed to know.

The Wen family is one of the embalmer families, but this family has long been submerged in the years.

Of course, there is more than one embalmer family.

"No more nonsense, what is your purpose?" Xu Bai said.

The controlled female corpse, temporarily called Wen Si, said without hesitation after hearing Xu Bai's question.

"Revitalize the Wen family."

Four simple words, with a sonorous and powerful flavor.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm easy to fool? Why don't you tell me why the Wen family was destroyed and you are the only one left."

Wen Si said, "The Wen family offended His Majesty and actually set their sights on those who died for the Great Chu State, so His Majesty secretly sent people to kill the whole family."

"But the Wen family was also loyal to the Great Chu State, so His Majesty did not tear off the last fig leaf of the Wen family and did not say what the Wen family did."

"It seems that you and His Majesty the Emperor have a blood feud." Xu Bai said.

Wen Si shook his head and said, "No, it was all the fault of the Wen family. I am the only living person in the Wen family. I want to pick up the family again. And I want to complete this step. The most important thing is to regain the trust of His Majesty. If I help Lord Xu, there will be no problem."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

The matter has been made clear, but Xu Bai is not a three-year-old child and will not believe a word from the other party.

None of this is important. What is important is that he wants to see how Wen Si eliminates the fog in front of him.

In fact, he can sit here and continue to work on the progress bar. When the time is right and the progress bar is full, he will see if there is any way to break it.

But now that someone can solve it, he is of course happy to see it.

If nothing else, stability is the most important thing.

As for this Wen Si... I will talk about it later.

Wen Si said: "Master Xu, I know you can't believe me, but how do you see my performance next?"

Xu Bai waved his hand, nonchalantly, meaning to watch your performance.

He and Ye Zi made room for a little.

Wen Si turned around and waved to the densely packed corpses behind him.

The next moment, this group of corpses, one after another, went into the confusing fog without hesitation.

Xu Bai was slightly surprised to see this scene. He didn't expect the other party to use this method to break it.

"Most of the barbarians practice those combat skills and trades. Although they can also make clever things like Feng Shui or tombs, they are still lacking in details." Wen Si explained slowly.

"For example, this poisonous fog has no roots and no basis. If it is all absorbed by people, there will be no risk, so I let these corpses absorb it, without any loss."

As each corpse rushed into the fog, the white fog was actually rapidly decreasing. When the last corpse completely entered, the white fog completely disappeared.

Wen Si turned his head and clasped his fists and said, "Master Xu, I have solved it."

Xu Bai glanced inside, and the sense of danger hovering in his heart was gone.

The gravedigger kneeling in front also noticed the change, turned his head with a look of astonishment, and when he saw Wen Si, he clenched his fists.

"Embarker!"

The feeling of extreme danger hovered in the gravedigger's heart. The white fog was gone, and he lost his support.

But he did not leave here, but continued to maintain this posture, as if once he left, he would suffer endless losses.

Xu Bai pointed at Wen Si and said, "You go in first."

Wen Si knew that Xu Bai was testing him, nodded, and stepped in.

There was nothing unusual, and no danger.

"Master Xu, it's okay." Wen Si said.

"Kill him." Xu Bai pointed at the gravedigger again.

This time, Wen Si was stunned.

She said in surprise, "Master Xu, aren't you coming in?"

"Why should I come in?" Xu Bai smiled and said, "Having you in there to help me with things, doesn't it just fit your idea of ​​making merit?"

Although the feeling of danger was gone, it didn't mean there were no new dangers, not to mention that he was worried about this guy.

Wen Si stopped where he was, his face uncertain.

Xu Bai teased, "You don't want to trick me in and then deal with me, do you?"

"I've heard that Master Xu is cautious by nature, and it seems to be true." Wen Si said.

Xu Bai continued, "I just don't believe that a family that was once killed by the emperor will trust the emperor again. You can't be so stupid."

Wen Si fell silent.

Obviously, this sentence hit her mind directly.

After a while, she pointed to the coffin not far away and said, "Master Xu is indeed a far-sighted person. How about this? Let's make a deal. I will kill this person for you, and then I will take the body inside?"

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.

Take the body.

Combined with Wen Si's current business, it seems that he wants to manipulate this body. Regardless of the identity of the body inside, this kind of grand scene alone is absolutely extraordinary.

"Master Xu, you have no choice." Wen Si said slowly: "I can go directly to take this body. The reason why I still discuss it with you is because I don't want to make enemies with you."

"The surrounding white mist is indeed absorbed by my corpses, and the corpses have completely turned into ashes, but it does not mean that after turning into ashes, I can no longer get the white mist out."

"Because, as long as there is a trace of residual soul in the corpse, it can be completely reversed. This is the exquisiteness of the embalmer."

As she said, she snapped her fingers.

Not far away, a handful of white mist suddenly burst out, but soon disappeared.

Xu Bai said, "Then just take it directly, don't care about my feelings, no problem, no problem, just take it."

He said this as if he was very considerate and didn't care at all.

The gravedigger looked left and right, a little confused about the current situation, and always felt that the situation was developing faster and faster.

Aren't these two people together? Why are they scheming now?

No, this is not the point at all.

The gravedigger lowered his head and secretly thought about how to break the situation.

On the other side.

Although he said this, Xu Bai didn't move a step and still guarded the exit of the passage.

This posture is like a goalkeeper, guarding the door with peace of mind.

Wen Si's expression became weird.

Xu Bai changed his tone and said in a teasing tone: "Why, I gave you a chance, but you are useless."

"Such a huge tomb, can't it be that my side... is the only exit?"
