Back when we were in the Ancient Tomb of the Yin-Yang Coffin, before Old Pizi had even entered the tomb, he had told me himself that he had been inside before. Yet, since arriving at the Eighteen Villages, he hadn’t uttered a single word about having entered this tomb! If I hadn't seen this mural here, I might never have known he had come to this place.
Suddenly, I remembered how Old Pizi had made us render human fat. When he was directing that process, I had sensed that he might have done it before. It seemed that was how they had fooled the Corpse Slaves' sense of smell last time! I suspected that this guy was still hiding plenty of secrets. Perhaps Old Pizi knew something about the conspiracy behind my grandfather’s death, but had simply never told me!
I stared at Old Pizi. He, however, kept his eyes fixed on the woman in the mural.
