The scholars in Yan Province seemed to be familiar with the tombs.

I followed the crowd and bowed as we advanced through the dark corridor. Watching them confidently determine the route, I couldn't help but think secretly in my heart.

No wonder when I was under the Prince's command, the other attendants were somewhat distant from me.

After an unknown amount of time passed, as the corridor became narrower and narrower, at a certain moment, we suddenly entered a spacious area where we could stand upright.

"Enter the Gate of Envy, let's count the number of people."

The elderly man in front turned around and said.

And it wasn't until we counted twelve individuals one by one in the darkness, the same number as when we came, that everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Later, I learned that when entering the Gate of Envy, unless they are close relatives, everyone must enter together, and no one can stay above. Otherwise, if someone harbors ill intentions, as long as the corridor is filled, the person who entered the underground will never return.

After the head elder finished counting the number of people, he somehow pulled out a white piece of paper from somewhere and ignited it using some method. Then, a faint light appeared in the darkness, and everyone followed the light, gradually delving deeper into the true tomb of Lady Xu.
