The situation was urgent and Yaoyao didn't have time to ask the reason. He was hurriedly pulled into the car by his second brother.

Gu Yu fell behind in the latter half. He deliberately didn't follow along. He was half a beat behind because he was packing pastries for his sister in a lunch box. Anyway, he knew the way.

I'll go over there and bring the food to my sister.

After all, who knows how difficult it is to deal with second brother’s problem? We can’t let our sister starve all the time!

In the car, Yaoyao also learned the general story from his second brother.

It turned out that it was the archaeological team that my second brother was in, and they had dug an ancient tomb some time ago.

Based on the clues inside the tomb, the archaeological team speculated that the tomb owner was the emperor Ai of the Jin Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

Emperor Ai was the most controversial emperor in the hundreds of years of history of Jin State, because after him, Jin State began to decline, and in just twelve years, the huge dynasty fell apart.

Some scholars have said that the reason why the Jin Dynasty declined so quickly was because Emperor Ai was in power and implemented a tyrannical rule, causing the people of the world to live in misery.

Before Emperor Ai died, he built a mausoleum on a large scale and sacrificed tens of thousands of people.

In addition, most of the national treasury was buried with him, which made it impossible for his successors to build a national army. This gave the various princes the opportunity to overthrow the rule of the Jin Dynasty.

Because there were so many burial items, countless people throughout the dynasties coveted Emperor Ai's tomb.

If there weren't so many mechanisms in Emperor Ai's tomb, it would have been dug out by later generations long ago.

But after repeated exploration, the mechanisms inside the mausoleum almost became ineffective.

When the archaeological team learned of the result, they were overjoyed.

You have to know that there are too many precious burial objects in Emperor Ai’s tomb. These cultural relics that are hundreds of years old are enough to cause a major earthquake in the archaeological community.

The result was as they expected, they obtained dozens of extremely valuable cultural relics.

But before they had time to be happy, all the scholars who had come into contact with the cultural relics fell down mysteriously.

Gu Mian took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone.

"This happened so suddenly that we took him to the hospital for examination, but no one could find any symptoms."

"But they are getting weaker day by day. Some of the serious ones have been issued critical illness notices by doctors."

And among those fallen scholars, there happened to be his own mentor.

Because he was on a business trip before, he did not go to the tomb with his mentor.

Gu Mian initially thought that these people were affected by the unknown bacteria in the tomb. After all, no one knew what kind of bacteria and microorganisms would grow in a tomb that had been sealed for hundreds of years.

He didn't think about ghosts or gods at all until last night when he was keeping vigil for his mentor and encountered something unusual.

It was a shadow whose shape could not be seen clearly. It was lying on its mentor's body, seemingly swallowing something.

When I broke through it, it suddenly looked towards me.

It was a face without ears or nose, with a vertical pupil between the eyebrows and a terrifying big mouth as wide as the face.

When it opens its mouth, you can see the densely packed sharp teeth inside.

"It came at me..."

"If I hadn't been carrying the protective magic weapon you gave me, I would have been in trouble."

When Gu Mian talked about this, he still felt a little scared.

The speed of that ghost thing was very fast and he couldn't dodge it at all. When he was about to be hit, the purple jade gourd he was wearing suddenly became hot.

This jade gourd was given to me by my younger sister, who said it should be worn for self-defense. All the brothers in the family have it.

Gu Mian knew his sister's ability, so after he got the item, he always wore it on his body.

He didn't expect it to work this time. Before he could even react, he heard it let out a horrible scream.

The noise it made was so loud that it directly alarmed the master sent by the special operations team.

A man and a ghost were fighting each other. The master of the special operations team was about to capture the ghost, but suddenly its body disappeared without any sign.

At this moment, he realized that he had oversimplified things.

"The master said he couldn't find the reason, so he asked me to go back and ask you to come over."

Because the lives of so many colleagues and his tutor were involved, Gu Mian didn't dare to delay at all.

"Second brother, Yaoyao is not sure right now. We have to wait and see to know."

Yaoyao shook her head and did not respond immediately.

The Xuanshi sent by the special operations team to protect my brother, father and mother are all at the third or fourth level. With the temporary magic weapons given by themselves, they are capable of fighting even the red ghost.

Winning a fight may be difficult, but disappearing without any warning is almost impossible.

There must be something hidden here, that’s why Yaoyao didn’t give his second brother a definite answer.

"Well, don't worry, wait until you see him!"

Gu Mian also knew that the problem could not be solved by just describing it himself, and he still had to see it with his own eyes.

He drove all the way to the hospital with ease, and then took his sister to his mentor's ward.

In fact, not only the tutor is here, but also the people lying in the two or three wards next door are members of the archaeological team.

Yaoyao followed her second brother into the ward and saw a grandfather in his sixties lying in bed.

His hair was all gray, but his facial features were regular and he had an elegant temperament.

However, what was strange was that his skin was dry and sallow, which did not look like that of a person of his age. Instead, it looked like that of a dying person.

"Xiao Mian is here!" The latter's voice was already weak.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head stiffly, and after seeing who was coming, he called out softly.

"Yeah!" Gu Mian nodded when he heard that, his face couldn't help but become heavy.

Before I went on a business trip, my tutor was in very good spirits and often even stayed up all night to work on archaeological data. Now, let alone staying up all night, he can barely stay awake for much of the day.

All this was a disaster brought about by Emperor Ai’s tomb. If I had known this earlier, I should have gone with them.

I have magical weapons to protect myself, so maybe my mentor and the others can escape the disaster.

"How is it? Have you figured out anything?" Gu Mian knew that there was no medicine for regret in the world, and it was useless to think too much.

The most important thing at the moment is undoubtedly whether my sister can find the root cause of the problem.

Yaoyao activated her pupil technique as soon as she entered the door. After seeing the old man's face clearly, her first glance fell on the black air between his eyebrows.

Under the detection of pupil technique, the secret of black air naturally has nowhere to hide.

Under the black air, there is actually a complex pattern, which is like a burning lamp, hot and scorching.

However, what it burned was not lamp oil, but the old man's life.

"Blood Curse!"

Seeing this, Yaoyao also recognized the origin of the black gas. Her face was solemn and she explained its origin word by word.
