Chapter 72

Lin Yi, Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, Uncle San, Panzi, and Akuo delved deep into the tomb and arrived at the main burial area.

What appeared before them was a massive jade door, extremely translucent, now wide open.

Beside the jade door were two statues, depicting hungry ghosts. One held a ghost claw, and the other held a black seal.

"Huh? Wait!"

Just as everyone was about to enter the jade door, Lin Yi suddenly exclaimed and stopped in his tracks.

Amid the puzzled and questioning gazes of the others, Lin Yi walked over to one of the hungry ghost statues beside the jade door.

These two hungry ghost statues, one held a black seal, and the other held a ghost claw.

Lin Yi approached the hungry ghost statue holding the black seal and took the black seal from its hand.

"Ding, discovered plot item 'Ghost Seal,' would you like to skillify it?"

The electronic voice of the system sounded in his mind, and Lin Yi was momentarily stunned. What's going on?

Ghost Seal? It can be skillified?

Lin Yi silently replied, "Yes."

"Congratulations, you have learned the skill 'Summon Yin Soldiers.'"

Summon Yin Soldiers?

Lin Yi looked at the black seal in his hand, the "Ghost Seal," with a dazed expression. Is this possible?

The Ghost Seal, according to legend, belonged to King Lu Shang. It is said that King Lu Shang found a purple jade box inside a giant snake, and inside the box was the Ghost Seal, which could summon Yin Soldiers.

This treasure had been missing for a long time, but later appeared in Xiao Ge Zhang Qilin's hands. In "Yunding Tian Gong," Xiao Ge held the Ghost Seal and mixed in with the Yin Soldiers' procession.

Lin Yi hadn't expected that this treasure could really summon Yin Soldiers and that it would appear here.

After skillifying it through the system, Lin Yi understood how to use this treasure. He needed to infuse his own essence, energy, and spirit into the Ghost Seal, and then use the Ghost Seal to summon Yin Soldiers.

The principle behind summoning Yin Soldiers with this treasure was simple: it gathered the "yin qi" from the earth to form "Yin Soldiers."

The world is imbued with yin and yang energies, and this is a magical treasure that harnesses yin qi.

Lin Yi's newly learned "Summon Yin Soldiers" skill also required the Ghost Seal to be used.

"Lin Zi, what's wrong?"

"What is that?"

Wu Xie, Uncle San, Panzi, and Akuo all looked at Lin Yi, seeing him holding the black seal with a dazed expression, and asked in unison.

Xiao Ge, somewhat surprised, walked over to the other hungry ghost statue and took the ghost claw from its hand.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened. The items in the hands of these two hungry ghost statues were actually treasures?

Why hadn't they noticed?

Now, with one treasure in Lin Yi's hands and the other in Xiao Ge's, it would be awkward to ask for them, even if they wanted to.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Seeing Xiao Ge holding the ghost claw, Lin Yi, though curious about what kind of magical treasure it was, didn't ask further.

Having the unexpected joy of the "Ghost Seal" was already enough to make him extremely excited!

It was actually a treasure that could summon Yin Soldiers!

Too awesome!!!

Everyone had different thoughts as they entered the jade door. Inside was a spacious burial chamber.

Panzi shone his miner's lamp around and couldn't help exclaiming, "There are so many coffins!"

Without a strong light source, it was difficult to see clearly what was in the tomb.

But they could still see that in the center of the burial chamber, there were many stone coffins, seemingly arranged in a certain order, though not perfectly neat.

Above the burial chamber was a large ceiling covered in murals, and the walls were made of large stone slabs, densely inscribed with characters.

Everyone shone their miner's lamps around and saw that there were two side chambers on the sides of the burial chamber.

They walked over to the first stone coffin, which was carved with inscriptions.

Wu Xie lightly exclaimed, able to understand the inscriptions. He read carefully and said, "The text on this describes the life of the owner of the stone coffin."

It turned out that the tomb's owner was a feudal lord of the State of Lu, indeed the King Lu Shang that Lin Zi had mentioned!

This person was born with a Ghost Seal, which allowed him to borrow Yin Soldiers from the underworld, making him invincible. He was thus enfeoffed as King Lu Shang by the Duke of Lu.

One day, he suddenly requested an audience with the Duke of Lu, saying that after borrowing soldiers from the underworld for many years, the Lord of the Underworld now faced a rebellion by lesser ghosts and needed to repay his debt. He hoped the Duke of Lu would allow him to return to the underworld to fulfill his duty.

The Duke of Lu immediately granted his request, and King Lu Shang bowed and then passed away.

The Duke of Lu thought he would return, so he set up this underground palace here to preserve his body, hoping he would come back to serve him again.

The text also detailed the battles he fought, and whenever he revealed his Ghost Seal, a large number of Yin Soldiers would emerge from the ground!

Panzi couldn't help but exclaim, "So powerful! Fortunately, he died early; otherwise, the State of Lu might have unified the six states."

Wu Xie laughed, "That's not certain. Ancient people were good at exaggerating. If King Lu Shang could borrow Yin Soldiers, then someone from the State of Qi could borrow Heavenly Soldiers. I remember there was even a flying general in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas.'"

Lin Yi was unconvinced. He had already obtained the Ghost Seal, which could really summon Yin Soldiers!

Could it be that the one who could borrow Heavenly Soldiers from the State of Qi was also real?

In this world, where thousand-year-old mummies exist, what is impossible?

Lin Yi had already quietly stored the Ghost Seal in the system's item inventory.

In the live stream, the audience and fans were buzzing with excitement as they watched the eerie tomb—

"Is this King Lu Shang's tomb? The streamer actually dares to rob a tomb! I've already called the police! Wait to be caught!"

"What kind of idiot is upstairs? Call the police, my ass!"

"The streamer's setting is amazing! This is no different from a real tomb!"

"I'm also a tomb raider. After inspection, this is a real tomb, and it looks like it's from the Warring States period!"

"6666, tomb raiders are here! If you're so capable, why don't you fly?"

"Was the seal the streamer just got the legendary Ghost Seal?"

"Definitely! That's the treasure King Lu Shang used to summon Yin Soldiers! The streamer is going to be rich!"

"66666, I'll never dare to criticize the streamer again. What if he summons Yin Soldiers and wipes me out?"

"2333, congratulations on getting a purple item!"

...

Uncle San said, "No matter what, we've finally confirmed whose tomb we're raiding. But with so many coffins, which one is his?"

Everyone looked at the inscriptions on the other coffins, which were all similar.

There were seven stone coffins in total, arranged like the Big Dipper. There were no records on the coffins to indicate which one was his.

Lin Yi smiled lightly, "This is a Seven-Star Coffin Puzzle."

"Seven-Star Coffin Puzzle?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yi, amazed. How does he know everything?
