89: Chapter 89 In chaotic times, the Great Xia Dynasty has never lacked people of unwavering integrity.

The experts present, as well as the audience in the Live Stream Room, could not help but feel puzzled.

Before they could ask, Ye Xiao spoke up again to explain:

"But, I didn't expect that a brilliant person capable of cracking the Bagua Array could fall to such a mechanism?"

"I was shallow, I was still too shallow!"

Saying this, Ye Xiao laughed to himself again.

However, for some reason, everyone except Ye Xiao found this statement strangely difficult to describe!

The barrage in the Live Stream Room surged once again.

"Hiss—why does this sound so... punchable to me?"

"Good grief, he's even including himself in the praise, right? I can't take it!"

"Ah this... as expected of Ye Dao! He even has to include himself when praising others!"

"Awesome! As expected of someone who can crack the Bagua Array, you've mastered the art of speaking!"

"Admirable, admirable! So this is the Ye Dao who can crack the Bagua Array! Long-admired!"

Command Headquarters

Seminar Hall

Looking at the surging barrage in the Live Stream Room, the experts present couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

They all stared at Ye Xiao, speechless.

He praises others while including himself?

You really aren't humble at all!

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

The experts present couldn't help but shake their heads slowly, feeling both amused and frustrated.

Noticing these gazes, Ye Xiao's figure stiffened slightly.

Oops, I was found out.

So awkward!

However, immediately after, Ye Xiao straightened his expression, pressed the button on his headset again, and said to the audience in the Live Stream Room:

"You all look again, this brilliant person should have left something else behind!"

You have to know, there are nearly a squad of Sakura Country soldiers here!

In that era, if one could wipe out so many Sakura Country soldiers, this person would definitely be respected by everyone.

Even if no one knew he had done such a thing under the tomb.

Ye Xiao didn't believe that this person wouldn't leave something behind to prove his identity.

So that future generations coming here could pay respects to his name.

Sure enough.

In front of the remains of these Sakura Country soldiers, a square piece of coarse cloth was laid out.

It looked like it had been torn from a garment, and something seemed to be written on the coarse cloth in blood.

Professor Yang held the coarse cloth, carefully blew the dust off it, and signaled the cameraman to aim the camera at the writing on the cloth.

"The invaders have brought misery to our Great Xia! Every citizen is responsible for the rise and fall of the nation! I, Ye Liang, am similarly duty-bound!"

"My family has guarded the Dragon Locking Well for generations, but these scumbags got wind of it and threatened the lives of my clansmen to force me to lead the way; I had no choice but to comply!"

"However, along the way, I witnessed the bloody cruelty of this group of people, using simple civilians to test mechanisms just to satisfy their curiosity."

"Civilians were burned alive by the fire oil in the tomb, and they actually clapped and cheered; there was no humanity to speak of, the level of cruelty was appalling!"

"I have failed my ancestors, so I decided to lead them out of the great array first to gain their trust, and then find a way to kill them! To make up for my sins."

"I did it! These demons are all dead! But my clansmen... they could not be saved after all!"

"Since I cannot survive either, I have decided to go ahead and venture deeper to investigate!"

"If any of my descendants survive, seeing this silk book is like seeing me! Follow the family motto and place me in a black wooden coffin, nailed with ninety-nine copper nails!"

"Enough! I go ahead now!"

Professor Yang read the contents of the coarse silk book word by word.

Everyone in front of the screen was unable to calm down for a long time after hearing this, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions.

Professor Yang, with trembling hands, held the coarse silk book, tears streaming down his face as he said:

"In times of chaos, Great Xia never lacks people with firm character and integrity! It is the fortune of our generation, the fortune of our generation!!!"

Professor Yang, tearfully, bowed deeply while holding the silk book.

"Rest assured! If there is an opportunity, I will definitely give you a proper burial!!!"

Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room was also moved, and the room fell into a solemn silence.

"The predecessors dared to shed their blood for Great Xia! We will definitely guard this prosperity forged in blood!"

"It turns out that apart from the well-known heroes of the War of Resistance, there are countless brilliant people among the common folk making silent sacrifices!"

"There is no such thing as a peaceful age; it is just that someone is carrying the burden for us!"

"Salute to the heroes!!!"

"Salute!!!"

In the Seminar Hall, the many experts present also had red eyes.

Especially some of the older experts, like Professor Zhou.

They were closer to that era of chaos, so they were more deeply moved by this humiliating history.

Like Professor Yang, Professor Zhou and the several elderly experts beside him were all shedding tears.

In that era, there were many such nameless heroes.

In the vast river of Great Xia's history, such heroes are countless.

They sacrificed too much for the peace and prosperity of Great Xia!

Therefore, they are all heroes worthy of respect!

A moment later, everyone composed their emotions.

Professor Yang also carefully put away the coarse silk book as if it were a precious treasure.

He began to observe the hollowed-out statues on the walls in the great hall.

The audience in the Live Stream Room and the experts at the Symposium also quickly composed their emotions.

The experts also threw themselves back into their work.

At this time, Ye Xiao's mood finally calmed down slowly.

He also began to think about the contents of the silk book.

When Ye Xiao recalled the passage about the burial, he couldn't help but suddenly feel, why was this burial method so special?

And... it felt somewhat familiar?

Plus, the person wrote on the silk book: "My family has guarded the Dragon Locking Well for generations"...

With a "hum," Ye Xiao's entire brain went blank for a moment.

He remembered.

"Black wooden coffin," "ninety-nine copper nails," this is the burial tradition of the Gongshu Family!

It is because they do carpentry work, and in order to make the mechanisms "come alive," they borrowed too much "spiritual energy" from the world!

Their lineage has a special technique.

It involves utilizing the innate affinity between carpenters and wood to establish a contract with wood that has already become spiritual, thereby utilizing their "spiritual energy."

This causes the objects they create using woodworking to be able to act like living things.

This is also why the flying kite originally created by Gongshu Ban could fly for three days without landing.

And the reason why their burial method is so special is also because of this technique.

You have to know, "ghosts" are a lower order than "spirits."

If they are discovered by the "spirits" they once established contracts with, after they die and become ghosts.

They will naturally be sought out by these spirits for the compensation for what they borrowed, due to the contracts established while they were alive.

Thereby becoming servants of these spirits; the more contracts established, the more borrowed, the longer the time of servitude.

And after the servitude, they become wandering ghosts, unable to reincarnate!

Therefore, Gongshu Ban thought of a method to block the heavenly secrets!
