When Gu Mian heard the noise, he immediately turned his eyes over and followed his sister's line of sight. What caught his eye was a carved and painted mural with a scene of a night banquet at the vice-palace.

I saw all the ministers sitting at the table, none of them had a smile on their face, but rather looked nervous and reserved.

Sitting at the very top was a burly man with nine tassels on his head. He was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with intricate dragon patterns.

According to the laws of the State of Jin, only the emperor's robes could be dark blue. This was the tomb of Emperor Ai, so the identity of the man was self-evident: it was Emperor Ai himself.

He held a longevity lamp in his hand, and strangely, the lamp was burning at this moment.

The bright green flames are creepy to look at, considering that this is an ancient tomb that is hundreds of years old.

Before I pushed open the door of the tomb, the air in there had long been cut off, so how could the light still be burning?

"Is this the medium that the blood curse relies on?" Gu Mian couldn't help but look curious.

Could such a small lamp easily kill so many people?

This was the first time that Gu Mian had experienced the forbidden techniques of the Xuan Sect at such a close distance, and he could only say that it was impossible to guard against it.

"Yeah, that's it." Yaoyao's big eyes sparkled brightly.

What is burning in this eternal lamp is the life span of those who have come into contact with cultural relics.

Once the candlelight goes out, the lives of those people will be over.

"What should we do now? Second brother, can you help me take down the lamp?" Gu Mian said anxiously.

What is burned here are real lives. If we delay any further, our mentor is already old and cannot withstand the loss.

Yaoyao shook her head and said, "Let me do it. There is something inside the lamp!"

Using the pupil technique, Yaoyao saw that there was an evil ghost sealed in the lamp.

According to the description, this should be the thing that the second brother encountered. No wonder it disappeared silently, because it is the soul of the longevity lamp.

There is a connection between the two. Evil ghosts can use the power of the longevity lamp to easily move back.

However, it has no chance to run away now that it is in front of me.

Then Yaoyao took a step forward, stretched out his chubby little hands, and grabbed the lamp on the mural out of thin air.

Under the terrifying spiritual pressure, the lamp flew away from the mural uncontrollably.

Just as it was about to fall into Yaoyao's hands, a cloud of black mist suddenly emerged from the wick and fled out of the door at a rapid speed like a frightened bird.

That was the spirit of the longevity lamp. At the moment, it didn't have the courage to confront Yaoyao head-on, because the strong spiritual power made it realize instantly that it could not beat this tough guy.

Rather than being crushed to death, it is better to take a chance to survive!

"You still want to run away? Humph! Stay!" When Yaoyao saw the fleeing black shadow, a hint of sneer appeared on her lips.

She pointed her small hand towards the void, and the soul-catching chain instantly cut through the void, binding the evil ghost like a dumpling. When she raised her hand again, she saw it being pulled to her front.

"You...you are Wuchang?" The evil ghost's spirit was so scared that it was about to burst.

The baby in front of me is obviously a living person, why would he use this damn soul-catching chain when he makes a move!

Isn't this something that only the impermanence possesses? How can a living person possess it?

The evil spirit was an ancient man from hundreds of years ago. He was captured by a mysterious master. After Emperor Ai entered the mausoleum, he was imprisoned in the longevity lamp.

It was not until recently that someone touched the blood curse and it was able to see the light of day again.

But as soon as he went out, he was badly injured. If he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have died on the spot.

I had originally thought that I would never go out again and would hide obediently in the eternal lamp, but I didn't expect that someone would come to my door.

The evil ghost was about to cry, thinking that he had been unlucky this year, when he saw the chains that were about to break his soul.

It knows it's finished!

Yaoyao ignored the evil ghost's complicated psychology. She pinched a seal with her fingers and slowly tapped the longevity lamp.

Then, the ancient text on it was seen to be twisted and broken, and the gloomy light was extinguished little by little, and finally only the bronze lamp was left, which looked old and ancient.

"Okay, the curse has been broken." Yaoyao said softly to her second brother.

Once the blood curse is broken, their lifespan will no longer be consumed.

However, there is no way to restore those that were previously lit up. According to the rate at which sky lanterns are consumed, their lifespan has been reduced by about four or five years.

It’s not a lot, but it’s not a little either, but at least I saved my life.

"Okay, okay!" After hearing this, Gu Mian felt relieved.

Finally, the big problem was solved. He was not in a hurry to leave immediately because there were nurses in the hospital to take care of them throughout the process. After the mentors recovered, the nurses would find out as soon as possible.

He is now at the tomb of Emperor Ai, and his years of archaeological experience make him want to find out more.

This person has caused too much controversy in history. If I make any discoveries, it will make an indelible contribution to the restoration of history.

So, Gu Mian called out to Yaoyao and then walked towards the coffin in the main cemetery.

If you want to know the situation of the latter, the most intuitive way is obviously to start from the coffin.

"Hey! Why is it empty?" But when Gu Mian walked up to it, he saw an empty coffin.

He was suddenly stunned, his heart full of disbelief. What was going on?

According to the current burial rules in the main tomb chamber, it is obvious that this is the tomb of Emperor Ai.

But why is the body gone? Could it be that Emperor Ai was not buried here?

If this is the case, it will be a big problem, because without the bones, how can I do research? Seeing that his excitement was in vain, Gu Mian's excited face could not help but show a bit of disappointment.

This scene fell into the eyes of Yaoyao who was standing nearby. She was stunned. She didn't want to disappoint her second brother, so she was about to think of a solution when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the tied-up evil ghost.

Then, her eyes lit up!

This evil ghost has lived for a long time and has been in the main tomb. Maybe it knows the reason!

Yaoyao looked at the evil ghost and said bluntly: "Where did the owner of this tomb go? If you tell me what happened here, I can consider sending you to the City of the Dead!"

This evil ghost is not as bad as the red ghost, and it is not tainted by the sin of killing, so it does not necessarily have to kill.

But it is impossible to let it go directly because it does have the intention to harm people.

So, Yaoyao gave it a chance to perform. If it could help its second brother, it would be considered as atonement.

"Really?" When the evil ghost heard that he didn't have to die, he became more alert.

"Of course, I don't lie!" Yaoyao nodded seriously.

Looking at her sincere and confident little face, the evil ghost immediately believed it. After all, this girl had such strength at such a young age, there was no need for her to lie to him.

So he quickly told what he knew about the situation in the tomb.

The result also shocked Gu Mian, because the evil ghost said that Emperor Ai did not enter the mausoleum after his death!

This entire mausoleum is actually a cover, the purpose of which is to deceive the world and make everyone think that he is buried in the mausoleum.
