When they returned to the topmost tomb chamber, Xie Wan dragged out Yu's soulless body as well.
Huasheng was still outside smoking.
"Call an ambulance immediately."
Huasheng asked the young policeman to make a phone call.
He saw Shi Yu's body and asked, "Is this woman dead?"
Xie Wan would not let Shi Yu's soul out again, and nodded: "Dead. She is the blood-sucking murderer. Chu Ganlin's blood was sucked by her, and he must be rescued immediately."
Together they sent Chu Ganlin to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Maybe because Xie Wan had given him a lot of spiritual spring water, Chu Ganlin woke up after only transfusing two bags of blood.
Although very weak, he was still able to speak.
Xie Wan and Chu Jiangnan asked him how he was caught by Shi Yu?
Chu Ganlin said: "That woman is too evil, the biggest evil thing I have encountered in all these years.
I can use a compass to measure that there is a gathering place of yin underneath the ancient tomb. On the top of the tomb seal, there is a formation diagram. It should be the person who proposed to seal the tomb in the first place, who was a great man.
He sealed the real Eastern Han tomb underneath. After I found the mechanism and went down, I found the burial pit.
At first I had no idea the woman was in there.
She might be a little afraid of me, so she kept hiding.
Because there was already a lot of yin energy down there, my compass was disturbed and I couldn't detect her.
After I stayed down there for a night, I felt that this burial pit was very problematic and wanted to explore it deeper. However, I was afraid of encountering danger, so I went up and left some marks to make it easier for you to find me.
When I went down again, she ambushed me.
I heard from her that she had been hiding in that tomb all this time.
The martial arts that this woman practices are very strange and should not exist in the world.
Plus, her disappearance from Bureau 749 was very strange, so I suspect she is related to the Dark Abyss."
Chu Ganlin was very sorry when he heard that Shi Yu had died.
This was the second time Xie Wan heard the name Dark Abyss.
Chu Jiangnan had told her before that those people were stealing antiques, which might be related to the legend that the Yaobian Tianmu Lamp could open the dark abyss.
She asked, "What exactly is the Dark Abyss?"
Chu Ganlin asked Chu Jiangnan to check if there was anyone around the ward first.
After Chu Jiangnan said that no one was there, he whispered to the two of them, “This has to start from the predecessor of our 749th Bureau.
Our 749th Bureau was not established entirely after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Its predecessor was called the Bureau of Supernatural Powers during the Republic of China.
Further ahead, it was called the 'Qintianjian'."
Xie Wan's eyes widened. She really didn't expect that the famous Bureau 749 was actually the Imperial Observatory of the ancient dynasties.
Chu Jiangnan was not surprised at all when he heard this. It seemed that he had known it for a long time.
Xie Wan asked: "Isn't the Imperial Astronomical Observatory a department that predicted good and bad luck and looked at the sky on behalf of the emperor in ancient times?"
Chu Ganlin shook his head: "That's just on the surface.
Throughout the dynasties, in order to consolidate the imperial power, every effort was made to cover up the existence of supernatural phenomena.
The emperor respected heaven and earth, but did not want to be constrained by any authority higher than his own. Although the era of spiritual energy is long gone, there will always be some fish that slip through the net.
On the surface, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was only responsible for predicting good and bad luck and observing the celestial phenomena for the emperor, but in private, it had a more important responsibility, which was to monitor the strange people and events in the world, especially the supernatural things. "
Xie Wan expressed his understanding.
Chu Ganlin said: "As the spiritual energy era faded away, Taoism did decline. The same is true for the inheritance of the Imperial Observatory.
However, we have inherited the notes and files of successive imperial astronomical observatories, and learned that the demise of the spiritual era is actually related to one place.
That place is called the Dark Abyss.
The dark abyss was originally the boundary between the underworld and the world of the living that was drawn by the goddess Hou Tu when she opened up the underworld.
To explain it with modern knowledge, the world of the living is one space, and the world of the dead is another space.
There is a boundary between the two, which is the dark abyss."
Xie Wan probably understood.
Chu Jiangnan felt like he was listening to a fairy tale.
If it was before today, he would have sneered, thinking that his brother was talking about fantasy novels again, but today, after seeing Xie Wan pull him from one dimension to another with his own eyes, he no longer dared to slander his brother.
Chu Ganlin was a little surprised to see that his brother was so honest today, and couldn't help but look at him more.
Chu Jiangnan grinned: "You say, I admit that you are not a charlatan, but a great eunuch, okay?"
Chu Ganlin is already the director of Bureau 749. In ancient times, he was actually equivalent to the director of the Imperial Observatory.
Xie Wan was delighted. This way, she was no longer afraid of her secret being leaked.
We are all family, what are we afraid of?
Chu Ganlin then continued, “We don’t know exactly what is in the dark abyss.
But according to records, this boundary wall was no longer stable thousands of years ago.
There have been several cracks in the dark abyss.
Every time a crack appears, disasters will occur frequently, the world will fall into low temperatures, the number of deaths will be incalculable, and only one in ten humans in the world will survive.
At the same time, the little bit of spiritual energy that is naturally nurtured in the world of the living will be completely devoured.
The first recorded crack appeared a thousand years ago, in the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, the global temperature was low and the living environment for humans became extremely harsh. The spiritual energy was drained on a large scale for the first time.
Since then, the species of "Xian" has become rare. "
Xie Wan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Did they escape to some other place?
And then a legend of the Conferred God List was left behind?"
Chu Ganlin nodded: "Indeed. Before the Conferred God List, many mortals became immortals. Kings, princes, generals and ministers all had the potential to cultivate immortal bodies, because spiritual energy was everywhere at that time."
