He couldn't see anything in the dark, so he had to be extra careful with every step he took, otherwise he would easily be knocked over by those protruding sarcophaguses. Moreover, he couldn't say if there were any hidden traps here, but he couldn't say if he accidentally touched any, and the consequence was that no one knew whether the traps were real or not!

He carefully and cautiously touched the sarcophagus one by one. He secretly counted in his heart. Finally, with extreme difficulty, he touched the last sarcophagus. He couldn't help but breathe out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm done for too. Eighteen!" Wu Weidao replied.

"A total of thirty-five?" Ge Hua Qing repeated himself, "That's not right. How could it be thirty-five?"

"Dao Master Ge, is there a problem?" Wu Weidao asked.

"If there were thirty-six, that would be right. But why must there be thirty-five?" Ge Hua Qing pondered in pain. "Am I wrong?"

"You old Daoist are always suspicious!" He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ge Hua Qing. "What are you thinking in your heart? Why don't you tell me?"

"Yes!" "Daoist Priest Ge, tell us the doubts in your heart. Maybe we can help you look it up!" Wu Weidao reminded.

"If this place has thirty-six coffins, then it's very likely that we've arrived at the Ghost Tomb recorded in the ancient books. However, if it's thirty-five coffins, then I won't be able to understand it!" Ge Hua-Qing had a troubled look on his face.

"Ghost Tomb? What's so weird about that? " She asked in surprise.

"According to the ancient books, the Ghost Tomb was created by a vengeful spirit, and if it was accumulated in four to nine places, it would be enough to form a wave of spiritual energy. Because this spiritual energy is yin, it would be beneficial if it is used to guard the wind and water, but it can protect the wind and water for tens of thousands of years, however, this spiritual energy is formed by the resentful souls of the dead, so if it were to collide with someone, it is very possible that they would drag the living to their deaths as their slaves!" Ge Hua Qing said.

"W-what?" He was so shocked that his mouth went wide open. "So, isn't the only way out for us?"

"It should be!" Ge Hua Qing painfully nodded his head. "I only hope that we won't die a horrible death!"

"NO!" This is not true! " Wu Weidao felt his chest rise and fall. "I don't believe these things. In my eyes, only I am the real thing!"

"But how could the ancient books be fake?" he asked.

"At that time, people were too superstitious. They would use the point of view of ghosts and gods to explain things that they couldn't explain, which was why they described this Ghost Tomb as terrifying!" Wu Weidao gave a slight smile. "If we follow his instructions, won't it make us look too stupid?"

Hearing Wu Weidao's explanation, Shi Mu felt more relieved. He then turned to Ge Huajing and asked, "Dao Lord Ge, what do you think?"

"Although this is my first time seeing this Tomb of the Spirits, I believe that there's no mistake in the book. After all, this Tomb of the Spirits is in front of us right now!" Ge Hua Qing said.

"Then, is there a way to break it?" "Don't you dare tell me, you don't know!"

"Those who have been to the Ghost Tomb have never left it alive, so there is no record on how to break it!" Ge Huajing spoke with a dejected look on his face.

"Huh?" He slapped his thigh in anger and said, "I knew that you, smelly old Daoist, would always be useless at crucial moments!"

"Who cares if it has a way or not. Since it has been struck by us, then we will do as we say. I don't believe that this man-made thing is actually indestructible!" Wu Weidao said angrily.

"You're right!" Hall Master, what do you think we should do? " After a few moments, he said with confidence.

"First find the Night Pearl!" Wait until we clearly see the situation here, then we can consider the corresponding countermeasures! " Wu Xiangdao suggested.

"Alright!" After a while, he said, "Since there are so many coffins here, let's open them first. I want to see what kind of vengeful spirits are hidden inside!"

As he spoke to here, he used both palms to push against the stone coffin beside him. 'Boom!' A thread of light shot out from the lid of the coffin, shining on his face for a while, giving him hope in an instant!

"Hey!"

With a series of exhalations and a push, the stone lid was completely pushed open. For a time, even more ghostly lights came out from the sarcophagus, illuminating the ceiling of the stone chamber like a suspended moon!

When the crowd saw this, they were stunned. Wu Weidao could not help but ask: "How many Night Pearls would be in such a bright light?"

They were all surrounded by a set of white bones, causing it to appear exceptionally frightening. Especially the pair of eyes of the skeleton, which was emitting a green light, as if the eyes of an evil spirit were staring right at his face, causing his hair to stand on end!

"Sect Leader Lian, what's the situation inside?" Ge Hua-Qing asked with a surprised expression on his face.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back and rubbed his eyes before saying, "The inside is full of precious treasures, and there's also the bones of a dead person. There's nothing else!"

"Was the man naked?" Ge Huajing asked.

After hearing the question for a while, he mustered up his courage and opened his eyes to look again. He saw that the white bone was indeed wrapped in a few strips of cloth. Who would lie here naked? "

"Take another look. Do you see anything unusual about that white bone?" Ge Huajing urged.

"Unusual?" However, the old Daoist refused to give up, as if he was looking for something important, so he had to patiently look around. There was a large "Wu" carved into a large gold plate at the waist of the white bone. He stretched out his hand and picked it up, taking a closer look, then said, "Is this gold medal considered to be extraordinary?"

"Hornhead Gold?" Ge Huajing was greatly surprised. "It seems that this deceased person is indeed extraordinary!"

"Ah?" "What card?" When he looked at the golden plate again, he noticed that on the top of the plate, there was a dragon without a horn. If it wasn't a Horned Dragon, then what was it?

"I never thought that I'd be able to find the golden medal for the horned head here!" Wu Weidao sighed, "It is said that Wu Wang has thirty-six generals under his command, each holding a gold medal with a horned head, representing their status and glory. These men are all Wu Wang's trusted aides, and after his death, their whereabouts have become a mystery. I didn't expect them to be here to protect Wu Wang!"

"But, there are only thirty-five coffins here. Doesn't this mean that another person isn't buried here?" He asked immediately.

"You can all count it again!" "I don't believe that there are only thirty-five coffins here!"

This time, Wu Weidao personally went to count them, because he was too worried for a while, using the light emitted by the pearl, Wu Weidao quickly counted the total number of sarcophaguses, he could not help but glare at them and said: "There are thirty-six coffins here!"

"Huh?" Even he was shocked, "Did I count wrongly?"

Ge Hua Qing disapproved of his surprise. On the contrary, he had an expression of joy on his face. "I didn't expect this place to be called Ghost Tomb!"

"Smelly old Daoist, from your tone, it seems that you're very happy. Don't tell me that you're still able to smile even in such a dangerous place?" A flurry of anger erupted.

"Humph!" What do you know? " Ge Hua Qing's face was filled with disdain. "If this place really is the Ghost Tomb, then even if I die here, I can rest in peace!"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" His teeth chattered with fear at the strange look on his face. "Do you really want to die here?"

"When my master was here, he was always thinking about this Ghost Tomb, because he really wanted to prove something through this tomb!" Ge Hua-Qing replied in an extremely mysterious tone.

"What is it?" Could it be that he wants to die here too? " He asked with a bitter smile.

"Master only wants to prove the existence of these ghosts. If they are truly as miraculous as the legends say, then isn't that proof that there are truly ghosts in this world?" Ge Hua Qing laughed.

"F * ck your grandpa!" He was so angry that his chest felt like it was about to explode. "I finally understand, you smelly old Taoist! So you're the same as your master, a person who wants to die rather than live!"

"Childish!" "If I was the first person to find a ghost in this world, do you think I would be famous forever?"

"I don't care if your name will last forever. I only care that if I can't leave this place alive, then even if I die, I will have many regrets!" He laughed bitterly.

"What is your regret?" Wu Weidao could not help but ask in anticipation.

He smiled bitterly as he looked up at the endless light. His eyes seemed to be more gentle. He smiled and said, "If I don't take one last look at them, how lonely would it be on the Road to River Styx?"

"Who are they?" Wu Weidao suddenly realized that he was unfamiliar with Ye Xiao. He couldn't find any secrets in Ye Xiao's mind.

"Pavilion master, I can't say anything!" He laughed bitterly.

"Why not? Could it be that you want to deceive even me? " Wu Weidao asked with an obscure expression.

"I have never lied to the hall master before, except for this matter! So, it's best if you never know! " A series of deep sounds were heard.

"Why?" Embarrassment was written all over Wu Weidao's face, "Could it be that I've always been your hall master and not your friend or brother?"

"It's not that, but I want to ensure their safety!" He asked with a troubled expression.

"Hahaha!" Wu Weidao couldn't help but laugh coldly. "Is there anyone in this world that our Wishing Hall can't protect?"

"Not really!" "I just don't want anyone to disturb them!"

"They are your wife and son?" Ge Hua Qing smiled slyly. "Even Sect Leader, I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden!"

He broke out in a cold sweat as he heard this. His eyes shone with a vicious light as he stared at Ge Hua Qing. "Smelly old Daoist, could it be that you know of this matter?"

"I guessed it!" Ge Hua Qing's eyes were filled with a crafty light. "Although they have long since died in everyone's memories, I think that in this world, only they would allow you, the Sect Leader, to deceive the Hall Master!"

"What the hell is going on?" Wu Weidao was completely stupefied. "Didn't his wife and son die long ago? Are they still alive? "

"Of course!" Ge Huajing was even more sure of his idea, "Back then, they were kidnapped by the people of Martial Union Lord Jia Nan Lin and were trying to turn the Sect Leader against them. However, Sect Leader did not agree because of the big situation, otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable!"

"But back then, I clearly remembered that Jia Yunlin personally killed the clan master's wife and son for revenge. How could they still be alive now?" Wu Weidao asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's because even the Sect Leader learned the ability to create a substitute from me. At that time, the mother and son died as a substitute. Although the craftsmanship was a bit poor, it was enough to trick Jia Jiu Lin and the others!" Ge Hua-Qing smiled bitterly.

"How come I don't know about this?" Wu Weidao asked.

"Actually, I just guessed it!" "If not for the fact that even the Sect Leader brought up this matter, I would have forgotten about the matter of him asking me for guidance in creating a substitute!"

"Since that's the case, why didn't Sect Leader explain it afterwards?" Wu Weidao looked at her for a while as he spoke.

"Since they have died in the memories of those who knew about it, they should not appear in people's sight again. Otherwise, it will only increase their danger!" A bitter smile appeared on his face. "After all, I used a strategy of playing it by ear in order to turn the Ruyi Temple's defeat into a victory!"

"That's right!" Back then, if you had not turned the tables and caught Jia Quan Lin's group off guard, even if our Wishing Hall was able to obtain the final victory, it might have seriously damaged our vitality. As for achieving our current status in the martial arts world, I am afraid it will still take many years of struggle! " Wu Weidao sighed.

"That's right!" In this matter, even Clan Master has contributed greatly! " Ge Hua-Qing sighed.

"Alright!" The past is already dead, so don't bring it up again. From now on, don't ever bring it up again, or else I won't let you off so easily! " A series of serious expressions appeared on his face.

"Sect Leader Lian, you are wrong!" Ge Hua Qing smiled faintly and said, "Since the hall master already knows about this, you should be honest with him. Perhaps he will take the initiative to send someone to protect them. However, if you hide it from him, then their safety will be hard to predict!"

"Bullshit!" "After the incident that year occurred, Jia Yunlin suspected that something was wrong with the hostage. He did not believe that I would ignore the lives of my wife and children, so he sent countless spies to find out the whereabouts of my wife and children. Many times, they almost died at the hands of those people.

"Is that true?" Wu Weidao was slightly taken aback. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"If I tell you about this, you will definitely do something. When the Ru Yi Hall takes action, it would be equivalent to confirming Jia Yunlin's judgement. Then, he will send more assassins to retaliate. If that happens, will my wife and children still be alive?" He laughed bitterly.

"But if we don't send people to protect them, aren't they also not safe?" Wu Weidao asked.

"NO!" "At that time, Jia Yunlin was only suspicious and could not be completely sure. As time passes, he will eventually lose his confidence in this matter, so I will have to waste time with him until the day he gives up!" He smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, I won!"

"Understood!" Wu Weidao nodded, "That's why you don't want to mention them, since not mentioning them is to protect them!"

"Therefore, you must help me guard this secret. Otherwise, I will really take his life!" Duan Ling Tian said with a serious expression.
