Time flowed by.
Zhang Tian and the others had no idea how long they had been searching the entire collection of stone statues.
Until Zhang Qilin's message came.
"Found him."
Zhang Qilin's voice carried, and immediately, Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi rushed to his side as quickly as possible.
"Yamada * Yonghai, that's right, it's him!"
The little girl's voice was a little excited, and her condition had obviously improved after consuming the ghost pill.
"That's good."
Zhang Tian said, looking at his palm. The cut from just now was still there, but the wound had disappeared.
"Looks like I'll have to do it again."
Zhang Tian murmured, waving his hand gently, and red blood flowed out again.
As the talisman was drawn, golden light appeared, and just like before, a soul shadow was enveloped and brought out.
"Old Hu, smash the stone statue."
Zhang Tian spoke directly upon seeing the soul shadow appear.
The person was already dead, and their physical body was naturally useless. Smashing the stone statue would also break the formation.
"Okay."
Hu Bayi didn't waste any words. After Zhang Tian finished speaking, he threw a punch. With a bang, the stone statue exploded.
"What the hell was that noise? Did someone set off firecrackers?"
From afar, Fatty and the others heard the sound and all looked over.
"Thank... thank you."
The little boy, after being rescued by Zhang Tian, thanked them weakly.
Zhang Tian waved his hand and looked at Hu Bayi.
"Old Hu, the formation, can it be broken?"
Zhang Tian inquired.
"It's already broken, boss. Look, those stone statues are moving. The mechanism has been triggered."
Hu Bayi pointed to the stone statues not far away.
As expected, after the first stone statue was shattered, the mechanism beneath the feet of the surrounding stone statues began to operate.
Simultaneously, they rearranged themselves.
This was a sign of the formation breaking.
"My god, the stone statues are moving, Tian Zhen, should we hide?"
Wang Banyue, seeing the constantly moving stone statues around, quickly took out the shovel he had prepared.
"No need. Fatty, look over there."
Wu Tianzhen pointed towards Zhang Tian.
They saw Zhang Tian and the others calmly watching the scene.
It was clear that the current situation posed no threat.
Soon, the stone statues rearranged themselves.
At the same time, many cracks appeared on the bodies of the stone statues.
"A chess game of myriad elephants, without a board, is simple to crack."
Hu Bayi muttered to himself.
"It's out."
In Zhang Tian's eyes.
The stone statues cracked, and then, the skin of countless children was exposed to the air.
The children were all dressed in uniform children's clothes, with white powder on their faces. As the stone statues shattered, the stones fell straight to the ground.
The bodies were not soft but very stiff, appearing as if they would crumble at a touch.
"Kaka kaka."
The next moment, all the surrounding stone statues crumbled.
A pile of rubble rained down inside the tomb chamber, and the ground was covered with stones.
Fatty and the others weaved through the crumbling stones. The stones fell like raindrops.
"Boss, so many stones, is it broken?"
Fatty ran over anxiously, his face filled with shock.
The simultaneous shattering of hundreds, even thousands, of stone statues was indeed a breathtaking spectacle.
"Yes, it's broken, but we need to let them condense for a while."
"Although the resentment accumulated over the years is heavy, most of it has been collected by the stone statues and the tomb owner, so they need to recover."
Zhang Tian said softly, and at the same time, countless small soul shadows emerged from the bodies.
They seemed to have gained new life, with faint smiles appearing on their faces.
"They look so relaxed."
Hu Bayi looked at the Bagua mirror and sighed.
"Thank you uncle, thank you big brother."
After the children caught their breath, they all looked towards Zhang Tian.
After such a long period of resentment deprivation, their sanity had cleared considerably.
"You're welcome."
"I will provide something, and you should try to absorb it. Once your energy has recovered, I will lead you to seek revenge."
Zhang Tian said softly.
The children kept looking around at the people present.
Their eyes seemed to hold worry.
"Big brother, if we go, will we die?"
A child's voice trembled slightly.
Zhang Tian shook his head.
"That depends on yourselves. If you are truly willing to die like this, to let go of those who harmed you, I believe you will still have a breath left even if you leave."
Zhang Tian did not force them.
Instead, he let them choose for themselves.
"Uncle is right. Brothers and sisters, think about it. Did they really do anything for our family or our parents?"
"Think about the looks in our parents' eyes back then. Didn't some brothers have no siblings? Can you really swallow this anger?"
Tarō, as expected of a little ghost, hit the nail on the head.
He directly struck a chord in the hearts of the children.
"I still remember my parents' expressions. I still remember my mother's pained expression in the rain."
"Yes, I still remember that after I was taken away, my father died at sea. He committed suicide. I hate him!"
After Tarō spoke, a group of children began to murmur.
The most unforgettable memories of their lives were now being vented.
"So tragic. This is probably the downside of a monarchy."
Wu Tianzhen shook his head slightly.
In a monarchy, if the ruler is lustful or tyrannical, the common people become their "supplies."
For a moment, immense resentment began to accumulate in the entire space.
If it were the resentment of just one child, it would be insignificant, but the resentment of thousands of children combined was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
"It's so cold."
"What's going on? Is it winter?"
Wang Banyue shivered and muttered.
They did not have ghost eyes, so they could not see the situation around them.
Zhang Tian, seeing the resentment growing heavier, knew it was time to act.
Zhang Tian took out a bucket of spiritual water and several ghost pills.
Zhang Tian crushed the ghost pills and threw them into the spiritual water.
Then he looked at the ghosts.
Zhang Tian's ghost pills were now inexhaustible. Hundreds of ghost pills would not be enough for Master Yiyi to consume in a year.
"Each of you take a mouthful."
Zhang Tian pointed to the bucket on the ground.
As Zhang Tian finished speaking, a group of little ghosts pounced.
After more than ten minutes, all the little ghosts had eaten and drunk their fill.
Zhang Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Feeling a powerful aura around him, Zhang Tian also felt a sense of confidence.
With these, plus himself, and Zhang Qilin's ghost imperial seal, Zhang Tian wouldn't fear even two Xu Fu.
He would wear them down, even if it took all his strength!
"Boss, is it done?"
Seeing Zhang Tian's lips curve upwards, Fatty asked curiously.
"Yes, let's go, to the final tomb chamber."
Zhang Tian nodded lightly.
"By the way, uncle, this, it seems to be something from here."
Just as Zhang Tian was about to leave.
A child came out holding a patterned stick in both hands.
Upon seeing the stick, Zhang Tian's eyes widened slightly, and his heart rejoiced.
Was this fate?
