“Don’t be so surprised, it looks like there are these kinds of statues everywhere around here.”

Lin Yi’s phone light shone toward other places.

The three of them saw hundreds of bizarre and twisted statues surrounding the space before them.

With a diameter of a hundred meters, it was like a massive plaza.

Most importantly, all these eerie things were made of bronze.

Seeing this scene, all three of them were shocked.

Quickly, they calmed their emotions and gradually adapted to the environment before them.

They began to explore cautiously and carefully.

Under the illumination of the phone’s light, what came into view were one statue after another.

Some had wings…

Some were faceless…

Some had elongated arms and legs…

In the dark and damp environment, looking at hundreds of strange statues, an invisible pressure loomed over them.

Now the three finally understood why Ma Biao said this was God’s Tomb.

For the people of that era, using God’s Tomb to describe this scene would be more than appropriate.

But for the three of them, without lighting equipment, this scene was more like purgatory from mythology.

“Look at mine over here, the head is actually triangular,” Zhang Chaoyue said.

“A triangle is nothing; mine doesn’t even have a head at all. It seems like two lower halves of bodies combined together.”

“Mine is even more impressive, with over twenty hands, definitely a Thousand-Armed Guanyin.”

While the two were talking, Lin Yi was also observing.

The bizarre statues before him raised a new question in his mind.

“Were these things built based on human imagination?”

Lin Yi tried to put himself in the same mindset.

If he were to let his creativity flow to design these oddities, at most he could draw out a dozen.

But there were over a hundred statues right in front of him; such imagination, Lin Yi had to admire.

After inspecting the statues in front of them, the three began to explore other areas.

“Boss, look at the patterns on the ground, they seem like the Tai Chi Diagram,” Zhang Chaoyue said.

“Yeah, I noticed.”

Lin Yi had a rich spatial imagination.

Now that Zhang Chaoyue also noticed, his guess must have been right.

The area before them was engraved with a massive Tai Chi Diagram.

“Boss, there’s a discovery!”

Hearing Zhao Yunhu’s shout, Lin Yi snapped back to reality and, along with Zhang Chaoyue, headed to the central position.

Upon arriving there, Lin Yi shone his phone’s light and found a pile of white ashes on the ground.

“What’s this? Someone burned paper here?”

Lin Yi squatted down, picked up a little, and felt it in his hand, his expression changing.

“This isn’t paper; it’s human ashes.”

“Ashes?!”

Lin Yi nodded, his expression turning serious.

“Judging from the scene, this should be the main burial chamber. The owner of the ashes is likely the builder of this grand tomb.”

“But from the looks of it, the tomb owner seems to be a person from Daoism,” Zhang Chaoyue said.

Lin Yi nodded, “But in the history of Daoism, I’ve never heard of anyone so formidable as to build such a bronze tomb.”

“We should search elsewhere; we might discover something new.”

Lin Yi nodded, and the three split up to proceed.

About ten minutes later, Zhao Yunhu’s voice was heard again.

“Boss, quick, there’s another new discovery.”

The two hurried over and discovered beside Zhao Yunhu, a cylindrical pit roughly a meter in diameter.

The surrounding wall was particularly smooth, with a depth of about a meter as well.

Overall, it felt like a secret compartment, but why it was designed this way was unknown.

Zhao Yunhu jumped down and felt around the bottom.
