Chapter 778 The People Buried Alive in the Tomb

“Actually, I don’t know either but I suspect that it should have something to do with the Ghost Sect,” Wen Yihuan says with a bitter smile.

Gao Ge nods aside.

Gao Ge still remembers the matter of the haunted building in Suzhou. Although it was a wisp of the spirit of his master that came out of Wen Yihuan’s compass, Gao Ge still feels that Wen Yihuan’s master was very powerful.

Besides, according to the attitude of the elder of the Ghost Sect at that time, it seems that Wen Yihuan’s master was somewhat related to the Ghost Sect.

As to what the relationship was, even Wen Yihuan is not clear, let alone Gao Ge.

After hearing Wen Yihuan’s explanation, Earth Dragon says with a smile, “Aren’t you curious?”

Wen Yihuan thinks about it and then says with a serious look, “Honestly, I’m really not curious. After all, I’m not a curious young man.” Meanwhile, he casts a sideways glance at Gao Ge but very quickly, Gao Ge also stares at him. He coughs and then continues talking, “Over the years, my master never told me about it. In this case, what’s to be curious about? Since my master was unwilling to mention it, it must mean that it doesn’t matter at all.”

Earth Dragon nods and feels that Wen Yihuan does look like a master. If he were Wen Yihuan, he must figure it out anyway.

“I think your master seemed to harbor grudges against the Ghost Sect,” Gao Ge says.

“Supposedly,” Wen Yihuan says, blinking his eyes.

“In this case, won’t you want to seek revenge for your master?”

Wen Yihuan laughs and says, “Cut it out. I know what I can do. If I dare to seek revenge on the Ghost Sect, I will be killed by them soon. I think my master didn’t tell me probably because he adored me and didn’t want me to take risks.”

Gao Ge and Earth Dragon exchange glances and know they are both lost for words.

Wen Yihuan is so shameless.

Of course, it is fair to say that there is nothing wrong with Wen Yihuan’s thought.

If Wen Yihuan really wants to seek revenge and find out the truth, he may really have become...a walking corpse?

“Of course, now that there is an opportunity, I’d like to help too,” Wen Yihuan says laughingly.

“After all, your master couldn’t be from the Ghost Sect. I think I can be sure of it,” Gao Ge says with laughter.

“Of course. How can my master be a member of the Ghost Sect?” Wen Yihuan coughs, “Damn it. I don’t really want to say this. Somehow, I feel that I’ve jinxed something by making a judgment too hastily.”

Gao Ge bursts into laughter, “Let’s put it aside. Just say what you plan to say.”

Wen Yihuan nods and takes a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Gao Ge takes out a pack of cigarettes and also passes a cigarette to Earth Dragon.

When he passes one to Wen Yihuan, Wen Yihuan waves his hand, “I’ve quit smoking.”

Gao Ge is dazed. Although Wen Yihuan is not a heavy smoker, he can smoke half a pack one day. Now, he has quit smoking?

“How long?”

“Two hours,” Master Wen says sternly.

Gao Ge doesn’t respond to him. Wen Yihuan lights up a cigarette for himself.

“Ahem. Wanyan Sheng was so complicated. He was unreconciled to his death. Maybe he was too ambitious. Just like the First Emperor of Qin...”

“Just like the First Emperor of Qin?” Gao Ge asks, “He also wanted to continue being an emperor after dying?”

Wen Yihuan sneers and says, “Yes, but he not only wanted to continue being an emperor after death but also wished to conquer the world.”

Gao Ge is almost choked by the smoke.

Was Wanyan Sheng so whimsical?

“Hence, he got some warlocks and asked them to figure out a solution,” Wen Yihuan says.

“What solution?” Earth Dragon asks.

“What solution could they conceive? You know, the First Emperor of Qin had so many terra cotta burial figures but Wanyan Sheng also knew that those burial figures were useless and unreliable. Hence, he felt that living people were more reliable.” Wen Yihuan hedges and can’t help gasping, “I’ve learned it from an old book. That is my master’s book. Although I only glanced over it, upon seeing it, I was quite shocked. Do you know how many living people Wanyan Sheng had buried in his tomb?”

Earth Dragon and Gao Ge both stay silent.

They only look at Wen Yihuan quietly.

They feel that it is better not to interrupt Wen Yihuan now.

“50,000 people! 50,000!” Wen Yihuan reaches out a palm and says in astonishment, “Besides, they were all adolescents. Do you what that means?”

They are speechless.

“You are saying that 50,000 people were also buried alive in the tomb under the sea?” Earth Dragon asks.

“If what you have mentioned is true and the recording in the book is also true, the answer will be yes then,” Wen Yihuan answers scrupulously.

Gao Ge scratches his head and asks, “Did they make it in the end?”

Wen Yihuan rolls his eyes at him, “Of course not. If yes, can we not know it? However, back then, Wanyan Sheng gathered several hundred warlocks. I thought they were also buried in the tomb. As it appears now, it doesn’t seem to be the case.”

“Oh?”

“Haha, I see,” Gao Ge laughs and says, “You mean the several hundred warlocks were the predecessors of the Ghost Sect?”

Wen Yihuan snaps his fingers, “Yes, that’s what I believe. By reason, given that those warlocks knew such a big secret, they couldn’t leave alive. However, they might also have set up a formation while building the tomb under the sea. It was only meant to allow them to leave alive. And the formation...”

Although Wen Yihuan doesn’t continue talking, he has made his meaning very clear.

Gao Ge’s and Earth Dragon’s eyes both sparkle.

“So, the formation is where the Ghost Sect is situated,” Gao Ge says.

Wen Yihuan nods with a smile.

He does think so too but he doesn’t say it.

After all, if he doesn’t say it correctly...

He will be really embarrassed then!

“In this case, why didn’t Wanyan Sheng succeed?” Gao Ge says in confusion, “Were the warlocks incapable?”

“How is it possible?” Wen Yihuan says, “Honestly, the warlocks at that time must be more awesome than the current Ghost Sect. It is the era of aura recovery now. After all, what we know and what we learn are their legacies. However, when the legacies are passed down, they will be more or less lost. That is to say, they’ve known what we know; they’ve also learned what we learn. However, we may not know what they know and what they learn.”

Gao Ge nods and agrees with Wen Yihuan.

“As to the reason why he failed, I’ve got a conjecture based on what you’ve told me but I cannot be sure about it now. We need to go into the sea first,” Wen Yihuan says.
