"Is this the reverse of the Nine Dragons Prison?"

Looking at the Nine Supremes' statue, Fang Zishu's face was filled with emotion.

But now wasn't the time for him to sigh with emotion. Since the Pixiu statue had floated onto the plaza, then it meant that the passageway that originally obstructed their path had been opened up within the underground palace.

At the passageway, Fang Zishu quickly greeted Professor Xu and the others, and led them to the underground palace with a convenient oxygen tank.

Very soon, Da Ceng and the others were led by Fang Zishu to the underground palace.

It was worth mentioning that when Professor Xu saw the dark frescoes in the tunnels of the underground palace, he had Da Pang take out the best piece of paper, dipped it in black ink, and recorded the contents of the frescoes without a second thought.

Professor Xu followed Fang Zishu and the others into the deeper parts of the underground palace after the tomes had been dried off. There were many tunnels in the depths of the underground palace. It was unknown how many tunnels crossed each other.

Without knowing where these forks led, he had to continue along the main road, trying to determine from what he had seen and heard along the way exactly where the main tomb was located. However, the deeper he went, the more he felt that there was a problem with these intersecting tunnels. This was because the entrances to each of the tunnels were sealed very strangely.

"Brother Fang, there's light up ahead."

With the reminder from Qi Sanpang, the book also discovered a place not far away that was glowing with a faint yellow light. Judging by the intensity of the light, it looked like a grave or a storage room for weapons.

When he got closer, he realized that the stone room that was lit up was neither a grave nor a storage room for weapons. Instead, it was a small sealed altar.

Actually, the term 'sacrificial altar' wasn't exactly used correctly, because in the entire stone room, there was only a ten feet tall statue. In front of the statue, there were a few worn out yellow prayer mats.

Logically speaking, although there were many different kinds of Gods that the common people worshipped, it was no different from asking for peace and happiness and getting married together. Leaving aside these common gods, people's temples still worship the land or gods in charge of such duties as rainfall.

However, even though Fang Zishu looked at the statue on the altar in front of him for a long time, he still couldn't recognize just what sort of deity was carved into this statue that was placed in the stone chamber.

"Professor Xu, who is this deity?" Do you recognize it? " Fang Zhisu asked.

Professor Xu shook his head and said, "From the outside appearance of this statue, it looks very similar to the Rain Deity worshiped by the common people. However, the Rain Deity is holding three pots or a Thunder Staff, but the God that is worshiped in this stone room is indeed a jade machine."

"Could it be that the person who carved the statue was careless?" The prescription asked again.

"Probably not."

Qi Sanpo said, "In the hearts of the people, the gods are not only their worshippers, they are also the very foundation of their faith. Just from this point alone, the worshippers definitely can't mistake the magical equipment in the hands of the gods. "

"It doesn't make sense." Fang Zishu nodded.

Professor Xu looked at the sculpture. After a long time, he said slowly, "The sculpture didn't make a mistake. I think we walked into a common sense mistake."

"Common sense?" Big Zheng was puzzled.

"This coffin tomb, hidden behind the waterfall, was built on the basis of nature. Such a huge natural tomb has never appeared even after hundreds of years. "

While speaking, Professor Xu pointed to a spot at the top of the sculpture. "Look carefully at the god statue's temple. What's the difference between that and the sculptures you see usually?"

It was only after Professor Xu's reminder that Fang Zishu discovered the malevolent statue's sideburns. More accurately speaking, there was a palm-sized mark engraved on the temple and cheekbone. The overall appearance of this imprint was extremely similar to the Taoist Yin Yang Fish.

Tai Chi, the beginning of all things.

Tai Chi referred to the time before the heaven and earth was separated. The Yuan Qi mixed together into one, that is, the Absolute Beginning, the Supreme One.

The Yin-Yang Wooden Fish was filled with the black and white colors of the classics. It not only symbolized the alternation between black and white, but also the evolution of all living things from chaos. However, the black and white Yin-Yang fish were replaced by black and green on the statue.

The room was dimly lit, and with the Taiji Yin Yang Fish's location, along with the statue's temples and cheekbones, if not for Professor Xu's careful reminder, it would have been difficult for the book to discover the hidden Taiji Yin Yang Fish pattern.

As an archaeologist, Professor Xu had a lot of knowledge about Taiji fish, so he was very interested in Taiji fish.

Therefore, after seeing this picture, he waved his hand towards Da Ceng without any hesitation and said, "Da Ceng, bring the flashlight over. I want to study the Taiji Yin Yang Fish pattern on this statue."

The moment the high-focused flashlight was switched on, a blinding white light shone out.

Suddenly, the narrow stone room was illuminated by the white light and turned into a vast expanse of whiteness. The terrifying statues also looked eerie as they were hit by the white light.

Dong …

Dong dong …

Professor Xu first climbed along the altar table to the statue, then took out a magnifying glass from his pocket. Just as he raised the magnifying glass to examine the Taiji Yin Yang Fish, everyone in the stone room heard a soft "ding dong" sound.

The sound was exceptionally light, like the sound of a pedestrian grinding sand on the floor. At first, the sound was not very loud, and Fang Zhushu thought he had misheard it. However, as he listened carefully, he was shocked to discover that the footsteps did not come from any other direction. In other words, the origin of the footsteps was within the stone chamber.

Fang Zishu looked up and saw that Dazeng, Dumpling, and the others were all pale. It was clear that they had also heard the sound of footsteps, but everyone inside the stone room just stood there quietly, not moving at all.

This was what frightened Zhenshu the most.

No one moved, so who was the source of the footsteps in the stone room?
