He didn't even notice when he came in!
Take a closer look.
It turned out to be human remains, lying quietly in the pile of treasure.
"Strange," Partridge Whistle asked in bewilderment. "Just now, from entering the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple to entering this tomb chamber..."
"We haven't found any signs of looting here."
"Where did this person come from?"
"Could there be a tunnel dug from another direction?" the old foreigner guessed.
“No,” Li Xiaohu denied their guess, saying, “He’s not a tomb raider.”
"Instead, they stayed here to be sacrificed alive."
"Live sacrifice?" Everyone was shocked and somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.
They had never heard of the ancient Western Xia having a tradition of human sacrifice in funerals.
“Hmm.” Li Xiaohu nodded and continued, “But he didn’t die for the tomb owner.”
"But for it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the wall behind the skeleton.
The others looked up.
They discovered a shrine on the wall containing a black Buddha statue about half a person's height.
Its texture is like stone and jade, and its body is as black as ink, yet it reveals a slightly crystal clear feeling under the firelight.
Black Buddha's eyes were closed, and he had dozens of arms on his body. Each arm held a variety of strange magical artifacts, or pinched a finger, or even held a human head!
Even more bizarrely...
The black Buddha's body was covered with hundreds of raised dots of various sizes, and there was a thin slit on it that was almost invisible unless you looked closely.
Looking at the black Buddha, Yin Xinyue suddenly felt uncomfortable, even nauseous.
He frowned and said, "Those spots on this Buddha statue are disgusting."
"Like..."
"Like a bunch of eyes!" Li Xiaohu hit the nail on the head.
"Yes!" Red Girl also felt physically uncomfortable, and even felt a sudden, inexplicable irritability rising in her heart.
Partridge Whistle felt a sudden surge of anger rising in his heart, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.
"stop looking!"
Li Xiaohu was almost affected by the Black Buddha, and quickly withdrew his gaze, while pulling Partridge Whistle back at the same time.
Partridge Whistle came to his senses.
He quickly closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and used the Turtle Breathing Technique to calm his mind.
quite a while.
Only then did everyone calm down.
Partridge Whistle asked in confusion, "Brother Little Tiger?"
Why do I feel an evil thought when I look at this black Buddha?
"Could there be an illusion mechanism set up on this black Buddha as well?"
Li Xiaohu shook his head and denied it, saying, "It wasn't an illusion mechanism that was set up."
"Instead, this black Buddha itself is an evil entity!"
Everyone was even more shocked and curious upon hearing this!
Looking forward to what Li Xiaohu will say next.
Li Xiaohu glanced at the black Buddha, his eyes revealing disgust, and said, "This black Buddha statue is called the Thousand-Handed Black Buddha, but it is not actually a Buddha."
Asking for flowers
"It is an evil god worshipped by a cult called 'Guruqie'!"
"In their cult, the Thousand-Armed Black Buddha is believed to be the Buddha who rules over all darkness in the world, capable of absorbing the souls of the dead and preventing them from ever escaping!"
"As early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, the ancient Ruqie cult in the Central Plains was completely eradicated by the government."
"Unexpectedly, some remnants escaped to Western Xia and continued to develop in secret."
Partridge Whistle was secretly alarmed upon hearing this.
I instinctively took two steps back.
Having traveled all over the country for so many years and seen many witchcraft and sorcery cults, this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre "cult" up close.
Li Xiaohu glanced down at the skeleton beneath the Thousand-Handed Black Buddha and concluded, "This person was probably a fanatical believer."
"He chose to stay here and guard the treasure in this tomb with Black Buddha."
After saying that, he took two steps back and warned everyone, "You must be very careful."
"Do not touch this skeleton, and even more so, do not touch that thousand-armed black Buddha!"
Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle and the others nodded in unison and moved away from the two.
They know it too.
These cult creations might be coated with some deadly poison.
But what they don't know is.
The truth is far more terrifying than they imagined...
Li Xiaohu glanced cautiously once more at the Thousand-Handed Black Buddha and the black stone at the entrance of the tomb passage.
he knows.
These two things are the most dangerous in this tomb.
Seeing that they still didn't move, he felt relieved and instructed everyone to continue walking in.
The group quickly reached the end of the tomb chamber.
However, no coffin was found.
No tomb door leading to the next burial chamber was found.
Partridge Whistle didn't believe that the Muchen Pearl would be placed so casually among these treasures outside.
Therefore, it is concluded.
There is definitely another hidden room or secret chamber inside this tomb.
However, these dark rooms or hidden chambers are usually built in a very concealed manner.
Those who are not seasoned tomb raiders or experts in mechanisms cannot easily detect it.
Partridge Whistle shared his speculation with everyone.
It also received Li Xiaohu's approval.
Just as everyone was about to disperse to search for the secret room or the entrance to the pavilion, Li Xiaohu called them back.
Before Partridge Whistle could ask a question.
Li Xiaohu first pointed to the two ever-burning lamps on the wall and asked:
"Have you noticed the problem with these two lamps that are always on?"

The two ever-burning lamps that Li Xiaohu pointed to were placed next to the Thousand-Handed Black Buddha statue.
It's roughly in the very center of this wall.
Yin Xinyue and the others glanced at it briefly but couldn't see anything wrong.
"What is the problem?"
Yin Xinyue had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Partridge Whistle's loud voice.
"I see!"
Partridge Whistle said excitedly,
"Brother Xiao Hu has a good eye!"
Hua Ling and the others looked at him and Li Xiaohu with puzzled expressions.
What exactly did they figure out?
Partridge Whistle stepped forward, walked to the middle of the two ever-burning lamps, spread his hands and placed them on the bases of the lamps, and explained:
"Generally speaking, there are specific rules about where the eternal lamps are placed in the tomb."
