Specifically, it was the tray of the night pearl lamp.
Various patterns were also carved on the tray below, and if Yang Yu hadn’t ntioned it, they would never have realized that these patterns could be connected with the ones on the door.
Of course, they weren’t connected randomly, but one-to-one.
Yang Yu pointed at one of the doors, then at a pattern on a tray, "Look, these two patterns connected together can form part of this painting."
The painting Yang Yu referred to was the one on the floor.
Everyone looked and indeed it was so.
The two combined paintings ford the top part of the floor painting, and the connecting line just passed through the top of that painting.
The combined paintings were small, the floor painting, large, but if the combined paintings were enlarged proportionally, they were indeed identical!
"So, this door should be the first door, this one the second door..." Yang Yu quickly identified the sequence of the nine doors, and everyone understood his thinking, nodding repeatedly, "Amazing, Mr. Yang, truly amazing!"
Almost everyone wore a smile of delight, except Wu Kui who looked quite grave.
She never imagined that Yang Yu, who did not recognize these patterns, could see through their connection.
It must be said, this man was unnaturally intelligent!
Yang Yu had always been smart, but not extraordinarily so.
However, after activating the "Yin Yang Nine Mysterious Scripture," Primordial Energy not only improved and enhanced human physique but also strengthened the human spirit.
The higher the level of the "Yin Yang Nine Mysterious Scripture," the smarter the person beca.
Thus, even though he didn’t understand the anings of these patterns, Yang Yu could still detect a pattern among them.
"Let’s go." Yang Yu walked towards the first door again and pushed it open.
Just as Yang Yu had anticipated, they successfully passed through eight doors.
When they entered the ninth door, everyone’s eyes widened, and their heartbeats seed to stop abruptly.
In front of them stood a towering statue reaching into the clouds.
Yes, soaring into the clouds!
Even though everyone knew these clouds were illusions, the height of the statue was still astonishing.
Human head, ox horns, Qilin arms, phoenix tail... the statue was not carved as a normal human but rather resembled a kind of divine beast.
Eventually, soone uttered in awe, "This is..."
"I know, this is the god of Ancient Shu, said to be a Demon God nad ’Zhiwu,’" Wu Kui spoke, "It’s said that this Demon God had the abilities to solidify ti and traverse space, granting immortality, which is why the king of Ancient Shu revered him, hoping to gain eternal life."
Yang Yu laughed mockingly, "And then, he staged a Ten Thousand People Sacrifice, screwed himself over, didn’t he?"
"Pretty much!" Wu Kui spread her hands, "Those who seek immortality never end well."
Mrs. Ryde’s smile grew thicker, but apart from her, no one knew what she was thinking at that mont.
In front of the Demon God, a coffin was placed, and Yang Yu recognized its material at a glance, taking in a sharp breath of cold air, "Kunlun Divine Wood!"
"Yes, it indeed is the legendary Kunlun Divine Wood," Wu Kui said, "According to the Witch Clan’s records, Ancient Shu expended the effort of the entire nation and took ten years to construct this coffin."
"Kunlun Divine Wood?" Shi Sian furrowed his brows, "The mythical tree that connects to the heavens in legends?"
"That’s your Xia clan’s mythology, isn’t it?" Wu Kui said, "In our Witch Clan’s records, the Kunlun Divine Wood isn’t that powerful; it’s rely a type of wood with mythical qualities. Impervious to knives and spears, unaffected by water and fire. Crafted into a coffin, it can preserve a body uncorrupted for ten thousand years."
"I see," Shi Sian thought for a mont, feeling sothing was off, "If it’s impervious to knives and swords, unaffected by water and fire, then what power was used to craft it into a coffin?"
"You’d have to ask the High Priest of Ancient Shu about that, even I, the Witch Clan High Priest, really don’t know," Wu Kui spread his hands, "But I suggest you stop here. You mustn’t touch anything inside. Otherwise, their curses are no joke."
Yang Yu glanced at Wu Kui sideways, grunted, and said, "You know more. Spill everything you know!"
"This is what’s recorded in our Witch Clan records: the High Priest of Ancient Shu used the power of the ’Ten Thousand People Sacrifice’ to seal the coffin. Anyone who disturbs the coffin will be cursed by the tens of thousands of resentful souls, their souls never to find peace," he explained.
Wu Kui laughed, "Of course, if you think this is just superstition, feel free to give it a try."
Yang Yu said nothing, and the archaeological team also fell silent.
The team, who were firm believers in science, had always considered curses to be nothing but fanciful tales.
But after entering this Ancient Tomb, their view of the world had collapsed.
Not to ntion anything else, in their view, the ancients couldn’t possibly have possessed such exquisite construction techniques.
Let alone the ancients, even modern construction technology couldn’t dream of building this level of Ancient Tomb.
If this Ancient Tomb were to be disclosed to the world, it would overturn so many people’s understanding!
So when Wu Kui ntioned there was a curse, they dared not disbelieve it.
After so thought, Yang Yu finally spoke, "Forget it, we just ca here to explore, finding the main tomb chamber is enough. What to do next, we’ll leave it to the people above to decide. Let’s go, we’re heading back..."
"You know how to get back?" Wu Kui posed the question, making the faces of the archaeological team change again.
"Yeah, the Stone Door was closed, and there doesn’t seem to be any other exit. How are we supposed to get out?"
"We... we’re not going to be trapped here to die, are we?"
"With your level of courage, you should never co out on an archaeological dig again," Yang Yu huffed, "Xiao Ming, it’s ti for you to display your family’s ancestral arts."
"Ancestral arts?" Shi Sian couldn’t help but ask, "What’s his family’s ancestral art?"
Yang Yu: "Grave robbing."
Shi Sian: "........!!!"
Xiao Ming rubbed the back of his head and gave an awkward smile, "Mr. Yang, I’ve never seen this type of Ancient Tomb; I really can’t be of any help, sorry."
"I knew I shouldn’t have brought you along," Yang Yu gave Xiao Ming a withering look, then turned his gaze back to Wu Kui, "Witch Clan High Priest, since you brought it up, you must have a way out, right?"
"No," Wu Kui spread his hands, "The reason I asked is precisely because I don’t know how to get out. Yang Yu, didn’t you think about how you were going to get out when you ca in?"
"Honestly, no," Yang Yu shook his head, "If we really can’t find an exit, then I’ll just blast a hole through the wall and smash out an exit!"
