Chapter 161: Chapter 160 The Gate of Life of the Innate Eight Trigrams

Gu Youyou looked at the stone disk and deduced that all she needed to do was to find a Life Gate immediately!

Kun is Death, Gen is Life, Li above and Kan below, Kun and Xun signify shoulders, Zhen and Dui mark the central path, while Gen and Qian are situated to the left and right respectively.

"Found it!" exulted Gu Youyou, her eyes shining with excited light. She rotated the stone disk to position the Gen trigram at the Life Gate.

Soon, a rumbling sound echoed through the tomb chamber.

But contrary to Gu Youyou’s expectations of the tomb door opening, the top of the tomb chamber started making increasingly loud thumping sounds, as if it could collapse at any moment.

As the noise grew louder, chunks of stone mixed with dust began to fall, and the chamber’s walls started to show web-like cracks!

Gu Youyou was terrified!

What was happening? She had clearly found the correct Life Gate.

Suddenly, Gu Youyou had a realization.

She muttered softly to herself, "No, this isn’t right!"

She had calculated the Life Gate of Chen according to the Acquired Bagua, but the owner of this tomb had otherworldly ambitions; he intended to become a fairy, so he must have used the Innate Eight Trigrams instead.

Instantly, two Eight Trigrams appeared in Gu Youyou’s mind, and she compared them. In the Changtian Eight Trigrams, Qian is above and Kun below, with the Life Gate of Chen located at the lower right, while she had opened the lower left, which according to the Innate Eight Trigrams would be the Gate of Zhen.

Gu Youyou quickly adjusted the Bagua to the correct position. She patted her chest, relieved that at least it wasn’t the Death Gate; otherwise, the tomb door would never open!

The tomb chamber’s door did open, revealing a narrow and long corridor.

Yet the shaking of the chamber did not stop. Stones kept falling and the man inside the coffin still stood there. Gu Youyou, startled, wrestled with her conscience momentarily, not wanting to see a living person die before her eyes.

With gritted teeth, she dashed into the shaking chamber and vigorously pulled the man’s hand, dragging him out.

"Come with me, quickly, this place is collapsing."

The chamber shook violently, but the man remained unmoved, making Gu Youyou both anxious and angry. What a fool!

"Hurry up, do you want to be buried alive?"

Although she had eventually found the Life Gate, the Gate of Zhen she had previously triggered had already begun to activate—sooner or later, the chamber was doomed to be destroyed.

The man still looked dazed, and in her urgency, Gu Youyou grabbed his hand and bit it hard.

Out of anger and haste, she bit fiercely, immediately drawing blood.

The intense pain shocked the man, coursing through his brain.

His mind sharply cleared, and he grunted in pain.

"Who are you?" the man asked in surprise, looking at the woman currently biting his arm.

Gu Youyou lifted her head abruptly and exclaimed, "You’re not dumb? Nor mute?"

This was the first time Gu Youyou had heard the man’s voice, which sounded raw and husky, perhaps from not speaking for a long time.

"What?"

A larger stone fell from above, hitting Gu Youyou’s shoulder. It didn’t strike bone but scraped her skin, causing such pain that she gritted her teeth.

Summer clothes are thin, and this impact tore the fabric off her arm, even ripping off a patch of skin, causing beads of blood to emerge. Against her fair skin, it looked particularly horrific.

In agony, Gu Youyou furiously cursed at the man responsible. "Come out now! Don’t you see this place is collapsing?"

The man’s eyes darkened just as an even bigger stone fell.

With a nimble turn, he dodged the large stone and used the momentum to leap out of the coffin.

As Gu Youyou clumsily dodged the falling stones from the ceiling, she suddenly felt lighter. A whirlwind seemed to engulf her, and the next moment, she was in the arms of the man, who was sprinting towards the open tomb entrance.
