Upon entering the room, everyone felt an extremely strong water element, with misty air everywhere, making it difficult to see clearly in the distance.
What's even more intriguing is that, besides the strong water element, there's an even stronger sense of resentment, enough to send chills down your spine and make your hair stand on end.
At the same time, a chill seemed to rise in the room, making people shiver involuntarily. Bi Linglong even hugged her arms and shivered.
Zuan couldn't help but say, "Why is there such a strong aura of resentment?"
Mi Li frowned slightly: "Such intense resentment must mean either that one has suffered a great injustice, or that one harbors boundless hatred. Logically speaking, someone qualified for this level of burial should not have any of these circumstances."
Zu'an speculated, "Could it be one of the Qin King's ancestors, or perhaps Hu Hai or something like that?"
This is the ancestral home of the Qin royal family, so it is normal to find some Qin kings from past dynasties here.
As for the time after Qin Shi Huang's death, Hu Hai ascended the throne and greatly favored the eunuch Zhao Gao. Eventually, uprisings broke out in various places, and seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhao Gao forced Hu Hai to his death to make him a scapegoat. It is not unreasonable for Hu Hai to feel resentful before his death.
“That is indeed possible.” During her time with Zu’an, Mi Li not only learned about the Qin Dynasty after she was sealed away, but also about the development of the Twenty-Four Histories. Naturally, she was aware of Hu Hai’s situation back then.
"With such a strong sense of resentment here, could it form some kind of vengeful ghost or dangerous elemental creature?" Bi Linglong was a little worried. Her sword had just been broken by the Golden Wheel Ghost, and she was now extremely wary of anything that had happened before.
“No more.” Mi Li pointed to some newly discovered runes. “A master has set up an array here, preventing these resentments from ever coalescing into spirits; they remain only the purest resentment.”
When Zuan and Bi Linglong went over to take a look, they saw extremely complex runes everywhere. Neither of them understood runes, but just by looking at the precision and complexity of these runes, they knew that they must be something powerful.
At this moment, Mi Li seemed to sense something and looked up at the distance where the cold air was the strongest and there seemed to be some shimmering waves.
As the group approached, they discovered that it was actually a pool of water, with a faint outline at the bottom that resembled a coffin.
Mi Li stood by the pool, pondered for a moment, and said to Zu An, "Use your Blue Duck to part the water, let's go down and take a look."
Having clearly passed through a series of rooms, the Five Elements Formation, and this imperial-level tomb, she became increasingly curious about the other party's identity.
Zuan was taken aback: "Blue Fly can be used like this?"
Mi Li replied, "Great rivers and lakes may not work, but with your current cultivation level, this small pool is certainly feasible. Since your Blue Duck is close to water elements, it shouldn't be difficult to do this. Use your imagination more and stop thinking about holding a girl in the water and breathing on her all day long."
Hearing his words, Zu An, who was thick-skinned, was fine, but Bi Linglong wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Next, under Mi Li's guidance, Zu An successfully parted the water in the pool to both sides, revealing a gap about two people wide, directly below which was the coffin.
Zuan couldn't help but marvel at how those at a higher level could control and utilize power and elements in a way that those at a lower level couldn't comprehend. If he hadn't received her guidance today, he didn't know how many years it would have taken him to gradually figure this out.
Mi Li jumped down first and came to the coffin. Zu An and Bi Linglong hurriedly followed. As they got closer, they felt the strong resentment coming from inside.
Zuan couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't we just not open the museum? What if there's some powerful monster sealed inside..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mi Li flicked her sleeve, and with a loud bang, the coffin lid was blown off.
Zuan: "..."
Well, it turns out I wasted my breath.
However, he also looked inside with curiosity, and at that moment, Mi Li had already opened the lid of the coffin inside.
"Huh?" Bi Linglong exclaimed in surprise, because the person lying inside was not human.
More accurately, its upper body is human, and its lower body is a fish.
Equally astonishing is the beautiful face of the tomb's occupant. She had long blue hair and wore a crown made of coral and pearls on her forehead. Although her face was lifeless, it did not diminish her unparalleled beauty in life.
However, her brows were tightly furrowed and her face was somewhat distorted, clearly indicating that she was filled with resentment before her death.
"A mermaid?" Zuan's eyes widened immediately. He had only seen mermaids on TV before, but he never expected them to be so beautiful in real life.
However, as air entered after the coffin was opened, her peerless beauty turned to ashes and vanished almost instantly, leaving only a crystal-clear white skeleton.
"Pink Skull..." I'd heard this phrase often before, but today I experienced it firsthand. The visual impact was just too strong. Zuan even worried that he might be left with some psychological trauma.
Alas, such a beautiful woman, in the end, is nothing more than a pile of bones.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He had never felt anything about immortality before, but now he inexplicably understood those who pursued it.
Just then, his gaze suddenly sharpened as he noticed something and reached into the collar of the skeleton in the coffin.
Bi Linglong, standing to the side, had a strange expression on her face: "The other person is already dead, isn't it a bit... inappropriate for you to do this?"
However, she immediately realized she had misunderstood, because she noticed that Zuan had taken out a crystal-clear scale, as beautiful as a jade pendant.
"This thing looks somewhat familiar," Zu An mused.
Mi Li asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Zu An smiled and tucked the jade-like scale into his pocket. "Do you know the woman in the coffin?"
