Soon the three landed on the ground, their feet firmly planted on solid ground.
The Taoist priest took out a bronze oil lamp from his bosom, hung it on his waist, and then looked up to observe his surroundings.
This is a narrow basement, surrounded by flickering, dim candlelight that makes it seem even more gloomy.
“Junior brother, this basement isn’t very big. Let’s split up and search.” Master Mama said to Ling Yanyan.
Ling Yanyan nodded and then said, "Then be careful, senior brother."
After saying that, the two split up to search for clues.
"What are these?" Suddenly, Ling Yanyan noticed a string of Buddhist prayer beads on a cabinet in the corner.
Ling Yanyan picked it up and examined it, discovering that it was covered with densely packed symbols, resembling scriptures.
Ling Yanyan frowned slightly, just as he was about to study it carefully, when suddenly he heard the shout of the Taoist priest Mama.
Ling Yanyan hurriedly ran towards the direction of the Taoist priest.
"Senior brother, what happened?" Ling Yanyan asked with a puzzled look.
Master Mama exclaimed with delight, "Junior brother, look over there! There's a red bead the size of a longan!"
Following the direction pointed out by the Taoist priest, Ling Yanyan was stunned. Less than a meter away from him, there was indeed a red bead the size of a fist, emitting a lustrous red glow.
“This is…” Ling Yanyan stared in disbelief.
Master Mama said, "That's right, it should be a blood jade, but unfortunately, its color has changed, so it's probably lost its effectiveness. Junior brother, this blood jade is yours. I'll make you a few more talismans for self-defense..."
“Uh…” Ling Yanyan was speechless for a moment, but since the Taoist priest said so, it must be useful. So Ling Yanyan accepted the blood jade without any hesitation.
The blood jade felt soft and delicate to the touch, and Ling Yanyan held it in his hand with great affection, as if he were caressing a beautiful woman.
"Mmm..." Ling Yanyan closed his eyes comfortably, feeling his pores open up and his whole body feel warm and comfortable.
At this moment, Master Mama reminded him, "Junior brother, although this blood jade is a good thing, it is still an inanimate object and should not be kept for long. We should destroy it after we get out."
“Okay!” Ling Yanyan nodded.
“Let’s go find an exit now,” Ling Yanyan said.
"Okay!" After saying that, the Taoist priest pulled Ling Yanyan toward a fork in the road.
The winding roads here gave Ling Yan Yan a familiar feeling, as if he had returned to the mazes he played in as a child.
"Haha, junior brother, the layout of these tombs is quite unique." Ling Yanyan immediately smelled a pungent medicinal odor, and at the same time, he sensed a strange power.
This power filled the entire room, making Ling Yanyan feel uncomfortable all over. The speed at which his spiritual energy circulated within his body slowed down considerably, and his body seemed to be imprisoned.
"What the hell is this thing?" Ling Yanyan was horrified.
He tried to circulate his spiritual energy, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.
"Damn it, my spiritual power is restricted." Ling Yanyan was anxious and uneasy. They were in a dangerous situation. If they were trapped here, they would surely die.
“Junior brother, relax, I will help you recover your spiritual power.” At this moment, Master Mama said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yanyan immediately adjusted his mindset and relaxed, following the advice of the Taoist priest.
Before long, Ling Yanyan felt much better, and his spiritual energy returned to normal.
"Thank you, senior brother," Ling Yanyan said.
"Hehe, why be so polite with your senior brother?" Master Mama waved his hand, then led Ling Yanyan into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Master Mama smelled a fishy, foul odor that made him feel very uncomfortable.
Ling Yanyan covered his nose and said, "What a strange smell."
“Yes.” Master Mama also frowned.
The two followed the scent toward the center of the house, where they found a coffin.
