Xia Yu summoned the courage to walk over and peek her head into the cave, only to see pitch black darkness below. She did not know the depth of the darkness, so she did not know what was underneath, thus she asked: "There shouldn't be any more poisonous spiders hiding, right? I heard that this Spider Tassel loved the cave dwelling the most! "

Dong Han swung the fire piston at the entrance of the cave, and under the dim light, they could see a vague shadow below. It seemed like there were a lot of furniture, and it even seemed like someone was standing there.

With the help of the flickering flame created by the fire piston, everyone could vaguely see a pair of men and women in the cave. In front of the two of them, there was a square table filled with books, and as for the surroundings, it was too small for them to see. Everyone tried to adjust their angle to see more carefully, but the fire piston had already fallen to the bottom of the cave.

Darkness appeared again!

"Is there still light?" Gui Wuji asked anxiously.

"Even if there is, I don't dare to order it!" Xia Yu frowned, "We still have to think of a way out. If we run out of them, how do we find a way out later?"

"How do you know there's no way out?" Gui Wuji asked.

"If there was a way down there, do you think the two of them would just sit at the table and read?" Xia Yu smiled wryly, "I guess they must have been trapped to death there!"

"I don't think so!" Qiu Ying smiled bitterly. "Because if they were trapped there, they wouldn't be so relaxed! Unless they know how to get out of here, which is why they are so casual! "

"But if they're reading, why don't they even light a lamp? Are they blind? " Gui Wuji asked.

"Clearly, they are dead!" Xia Yu coldly smiled, "Otherwise, at this point in time, they would never be so quiet!"

"But what if they're deaf again?" Gui Wuji asked with a smile.

"If that's really the case, then I can only go down and take a look!" Xia Yu smiled bitterly, "After all, only by finding them will we be able to leave this place!"

"Show me the light. I want to be the first one to go down!" Gui Wuji said.

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, but still lit up the fire piston in her sleeve. With a leap, Gui Wuji jumped into the hole, and then with the help of his light movement, he quietly landed at the bottom of the hole. He looked around, and then he shouted, "You guys, come down, this place is very safe!"

Xia Yu heard his call and wanted to dive down, but she heard Qiu Ying say, "Wait! If we all go down, if we don't find a way out soon, won't we all be trapped alive? "

"But if we don't go down, how do we know the situation?" Xia Yu asked.

"Why don't the two of us go down and leave Chun Mo and Dong Han here to support us? If something goes wrong, we won't be at a loss as to what to do!" Autumn Shadow said.

"Good!" Just do it! " Chun Mo immediately agreed.

Following that was Qiu Ying. Borrowing the weak light from the fire piston, the three of them looked at the two people in the cave and saw that they were dressed in white, the man was sitting in front of the table, and the woman was standing behind him. Both of them had skin as white as snow, their expressions were stiff, their eyes were dull, and there were no traces of anger on them, but they looked like mummified corpses!

"Hey!" Xia Yu summoned up her courage and shouted, "Why don't you two light the lamps?"

No one responded, but the other side seemed to have not heard him!

Gui Wuji knitted his eyebrows and sized up the man and woman, then bravely walked over. He raised his hand and gently touched the man's shoulder, feeling a little cold and slippery, without a trace of warmth. He was shocked and said, "Wax man!"

"Huh?" Xia Yu was also shocked, "They're actually not alive?"

"If they were alive, I'm afraid we would be even more shocked!" Qiu Ying smiled bitterly. In the blink of an eye, she looked at the lamppost behind the wax man. There was still some red wax on it, so she called Xia Yu and said, "Hurry up and light up the wax. Maybe there's an exit!"

Xia Yu also discovered the wax remains behind the wax man. She hastily walked over and used a fire piston to light the candle. It immediately overflowed with brilliance, causing the room to brighten up a lot!

He looked around and saw that the surroundings were filled with bookshelves, he casually walked over, and started flipping through a few books, and those were actually ancient saint's books, medical manuals, and even martial arts manuals written by many famous sects, just that most of the martial arts written in these books were very common, and not some kind of secret technique that was not passed down in the sect, he thought to himself, "If it is said that this is the entrance to Wu Wang's tomb, then these two wax people will not appear, much less this kind of a library, if this is not the entrance to Wu Wang's tomb, where would it be?"

Just as he was lost in thought, Xia Yu asked, "Little sister, I think this is just a bookstore, how does it look like an escape route?"

Qiu Ying gave a faint smile and said, "Why would there be a library in such a remote place? Don't you think it's strange? "

"Are you saying that there must be other rooms connected to this bookstore, and that there must be an exit to the outside as well?" Xia Yu asked.

"Otherwise, how are we going to move these things in here?" Qiuying asked.

"That's great! As long as I can escape this place, I don't need to panic anymore! " Xia Yu laughed.

"But, this seems to be a separate bookstore. I can't see an exit at all!" Gui Wuji said.

When Qiu Ying heard this, she could not help but turn silent for a moment. After which, she turned to look at the two wax men and sighed. "I'm afraid that if we want to find the exit, we must first start by knowing the owner of this place!"

"Little sister, you sure know how to joke! How can we know them when they are wax people and not living people? Will it answer you if you speak to a wax figure? " Xia Yu smiled bitterly.

"The wax figure may not answer us, but the items on the desk are hard to say!" As Qiuying spoke, she walked to the table and blew away the dust, only to see that under the palm of the man's hand was a thick account book, written densely with small words. However, due to the wetness of the cave, the words on the surface of the book were hard to make out, but fortunately, the book was not completely wet below the middle level, so they should be able to see the contents clearly.

Qiu Ying carefully picked up the account book. With a frown, he whispered, "This account book might give us some hints. I need to study it carefully before I understand!"

He wanted to see if there were any interesting things on it. In the middle of a pile of medical books, there was a dark wooden box hidden, small and exquisite, with a small golden lock on it. If one did not look carefully, it was actually carved with the word "yellow", and if one did not look carefully, it would be very difficult to find it!

Xia Yu was completely captivated by the ebony box. She impatiently held it in her hand and played with it repeatedly as her heart tried to guess what exactly was inside, but as it shook around, she only felt that there were very few things inside, and definitely not any precious items. She then sighed: "This master is really funny, since he is willing to buy such a expensive box, but does not put anything precious inside, it is truly displeasing!"

Both Gui and Qiu walked over out of curiosity, and stared at the box in her hands. Qiu Ying could not help but take the box into her hands, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Maybe, the things inside are only precious to certain people, but as for us, we are not important!"

"No matter what, I want this box!" Xia Yu giggled and snatched the box over, "Do you think it's good quality jewelry?"

"If you want to put jewelry in it, you have to be able to open it, right?" Gui Wuji let out a faint smile, but he thought to himself, "This place is filled with mystery, there might be a map of Wu Wang's tomb hidden in this box. If that's really the case, then these two people and the two on top must not be left alive!"

"You're right!" Xia Yu couldn't help but feel troubled, "If you don't have the key, then what's the use of this box?"

"You don't have to worry at all. With Master Ou Ming here, there is no lock that you can't open!" Autumn Shadow laughed.

"But he hasn't appeared in Yangzhou for a long time. If I want to find him, it'll be even harder than finding a needle in a haystack!" Xia Yu said dejectedly.

When Gui Wuji heard this, his eyes rolled three times and he was struck by inspiration. He said, "If I were the owner of this place, I wouldn't have hidden the key too well. Maybe I would have kept it with me!"

"Nonsense!" If he really has the key with him, where are we going to find him? " Xia Yu rolled her eyes at Gui Wuji and said.

"I understand!" Qiuying suddenly turned and ran towards the two wax men, circling around them and carefully staring at them for a long time. Finally, she extended her hand and dug into the man's right eye, and immediately found a round black pill. She casually crushed the pill, and an extremely small key finally appeared!

"Mother!" It's really on you! " Xia Yu was greatly shocked, "My good little sister, you are simply a genius!"

"I'm not a genius, I'm just inspired by Hero!" Autumn Shadow laughed.

"Since you have the key, hurry up and open the box to see what's inside!" Gui Wuji gave a faint smile, his right hand had already pressed down on the hilt of his sabre. He thought to himself, "If it really is a map, then the two of you should just wait to be buried here!"

Autumn Shadow carefully inserted the key into the golden lock. With a slight twist, the golden lock was opened. Subsequently, everyone's heart began to beat wildly as they quietly waited for the secret to be unlocked!

The box finally opened slowly, revealing a white silk scroll covered in red characters. It should be a book of blood, and with a heavy heart, Qiu Ying slowly unfolded the white silk. He then slowly read out the contents, "My son, Dan An …"

"Darian?" Xia Yu was shocked, "Which Da An? Was it Huang Darian? Could it be that the person who wrote the blood letter was his parents? "

"Don't worry, there's more coming!" Gui Wuji was anxious to know more, so he decisively stopped Xia Yu's question.

"By the time you read this Sericulture book, you should have already grown up! So, there are some things that I should let you know! " As Autumn Shadow thought of this, she couldn't help but become nervous. This was because she had a faint premonition that this blood book would reveal an earth-shattering secret!

"Read it quickly, don't stop!" Xia Yu urged.

Qiuying cleared her throat, then continued, "Your mother and I were once famous bandits in the martial arts world, and because our ancestors left a will for our Huang Family to protect the tomb of the Wu King, your mother and I gave up our Jianghu career after your grandfather passed away, and purposely returned to the village of Huang An to act as the tomb keeper."

"There's no need to doubt, the one who wrote the blood letter is definitely Huang Dajian's father!" Xia Yu said affirmatively.

"Don't interrupt first. We'll talk about it after she finishes reciting!" Gui Wuji gently loosened his right hand that was holding onto the saber, and thought to himself, "If this secret is related to Wu Wang's tomb, you guys can't let it go either!"

"When we returned to Huang An Village, we discovered that Wu Wang's tomb had already been visited by people. Moreover, these vile tombs robbers are actually people from Huang An Village who have protected Wu Wang's tomb for generations. This is unbelievable!" As Autumn Shadow thought up to this point, he could not help but draw in a breath of cold air. When he looked at Gui and Xia, he saw that their faces were also filled with the same shock!

"How is that possible?" Xia Yu's eyebrows were about to scrunch together, "The village chief had clearly said that it was the two of them who were after Wu Wang's grave. Why is it that they've turned the tables now?"

Gui Wuji was not in the mood to care about Xia Yu's doubts, but instead cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Our Ru Tang Sect was hoping to fish some oil from Wu Wang's grave, but who would've thought that someone else already got here? If Sovereign were to know about this, he would definitely explode in anger! "As for Pavilion Master Wu, I wonder what kind of disappointment you'll feel now!"

"There's something fishy about this!" Qiu Ying's face was also filled with bewilderment. "Which side should I trust?"

"What else is there to say? Continue reading. I don't believe that they can make the black one white! " Xia Yu urged.

When Qiu Ying heard this, she could only suppress the doubts in her heart. She then continued, "In order to restore the original appearance of the Wu King's Tomb and ensure its integrity, your mother and I once again started to steal. We took back many of the things that were stolen and put them back into the tomb.

When Gui Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but feel comforted. He thought to himself, "It's a good thing that the tomb is not empty. Otherwise, all our actions against the village wouldn't be worth it!"

Hearing Qiu Ying's thoughts, Xia Yu could not help but feel suspicious, and asked: "Although the two of them are male and female bandits, do they really not reveal any weaknesses by committing crimes so frequently? Are the villagers whose homes have been stolen unaware of their indifference? "
