"Get down!"
Ye Yuan shouted.
In the blink of an eye, bronze arrows shot out from the stone heads of the tiger-shaped stone sculptures on the walls.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Once the arrow was shot out, it emitted a sharp whistling sound in the air of the tomb chamber, carrying a biting cold light.
Clang! Clang!
The collision, penetration, sharp whistling, and clanking sounds were all heard!
Fortunately, the few of them were the first to lie down. Hundreds of arrows shot in all directions in the small tomb chamber. Some of them sank into the stone wall with a pu sound, while some bounced off the hard surface of the relief embossed and fell to the ground. Sparks flew everywhere when the arrows hit each other!
Feeling these strange bronze arrowheads, Ye Yuan could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Perhaps even his peerless expert realm did not dare to face the bronze arrowheads directly. Perhaps only the Xiantian great grandmaster's Xiantian Gang Qi could withstand it!
He couldn't help but worry about the dangers of this trip.
After a while, the tomb returned to its usual calm.
"Are you all alright?" Ye Yuan stood up and hurriedly asked.
"Brother Ye, I'm fine." Qiao 'er's voice rang out from the corner.
Then, everyone turned on their flashlights, dusted themselves off, and stood up. No one was injured.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Jun Zi stood up. He felt a lingering fear." This damned mechanism is really ruthless. Thousands of arrows were fired at the same time. Junzi, I was almost skewered into candied haws!"”
After saying that, he looked at a cracked arrowhead on the ground and wanted to kick it.
"Brother Jun, don't!"
Qiao 'er noticed that there were a few arrowheads on the ground that had strange liquid dripping from their tips, corroding the ground and creating small holes. She happened to raise her head and saw Jun Zi's actions, and she couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Jun Zi didn't react.
However, his foot was already about to kick an arrow on the ground!
It was too late to say, but it was too fast.
Ye Yuan, who was standing at the side, narrowed his eyes. Seeing Fatty's suicidal behavior, his expression changed.
In an instant, his figure moved, and his large hand suddenly grabbed at Jun Zi!
Like an eagle hunting a rabbit, Ye Yuan grabbed the back of Jun Zi's collar and lifted him up with one hand, throwing him aside like a marionette.
Clean and neat!
"Ye Yuan, what are you doing?" Jun Zi was shocked.
"Junzi, don't court death. Take a closer look at the ground!”Ye Yuan said unhappily.
Jun Zi quickly looked down.
Under the illumination of the light, they could clearly see that the arrows at their feet had corroded the ground of the tomb, leaving small holes. When their noses moved, a pungent smell made them frown.
The arrowhead was stained with a strong corrosive liquid!
Only then did Jun Zi realize what he had done, and he was instantly scared out of his wits.
The thing on the arrowhead could even corrode the ground. If it landed on a human body, it would definitely melt their bones and cut off half their lives!
"Junzi, take a good look!”Li Xun broke out in a cold sweat. He slapped Jun Zi's head hard and said," You think you can kick this thing around? What did I say when we first came down? You must pay attention to your safety. Did you forget what I said again? Don't kick things randomly in the future!”
"I won't, I won't. I promise there won't be a next time!" Jun Zi smiled awkwardly.”
Then, he turned to Ye Yuan.
"Ye Yuan, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, this old life of mine would have to die here!”He pulled Ye Yuan's arm and shed tears of gratitude. He was indeed sincere.
"I'm fine…"
At this moment-
" Crackle…Thump…Rumble…"
The sound of stones turning suddenly came from the tomb. The few of them tensed up and looked around with their flashlights. Then, the sound of an iron chain dragging on the ground came from the center of the tomb.
Crash...
The huge stone in the center of the tomb turned to both sides, and the chains rose and fell. As they opened and closed, a magnificent coffin slowly rose and appeared in front of the three of them.
It was a large square coffin!
"The mechanism is indeed here!"
The few of them were pleasantly surprised. They held their flashlights and walked forward carefully.
The tomb owner's coffin was not small. It was made of mahogany and black paint. It was exquisitely crafted and painted with various animal patterns. The light Mongolian patterns and the red wood complemented each other. The color and shape were very strange. This should be related to the national totem of the Jurchen tribe.
This coffin was made of high-quality materials. Although it was not as good as those imperial relatives, it was still considered extremely luxurious.
At the same time, Ye Yuan also confirmed his guess. He felt an invisible attraction coming from the coffin.
"Good heavens, all these good things must be in here!”Jun Zi's eyes lit up, and his heart was burning. He rubbed his hands and was about to go up and open the coffin.
" Wait…" Li Xun pulled him back.
"What now?" Jun Zi asked bitterly.”
"We have to follow the rules!"
"What rules?" Jun Zi was obviously stunned.
Li Xun didn't say anything. He took out a compass and compared it to the other party's position before walking towards the southeast corner of the tomb.
Ye Yuan saw it and knew what was going on. He took the candle and lighter and handed them over.
"Old Li, here."
Li Xun took it. Under Qiao 'er and Jun Zi's doubtful gazes, he lit the candle and carefully placed it in the southeast corner of the wall.
"Big Brother Li, what are you doing?" Qiao 'er asked.
Li Xun stood up.
"When people light candles, ghosts blow out the lights. This is the rule left behind by the elders! The meaning was that in the southeast corner, a candle had to be lit before the coffin could be opened. If the candle is extinguished, you have to leave quickly. You can't take anything. This is a rule left behind by the ancestors. It has been passed down from generation to generation. No exceptions are allowed…"
"Oh, I remember now!" Jun Zi suddenly understood." Is this the ghost blows out the lamp that you and Ye Yuan told Master Hu about last time?”
Ye Yuan also nodded. This method was a necessary ritual in this industry. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it had been used for thousands of years to seek peace of mind.
"Ghost Blows Out the Light? So scary…" Qiao 'er shivered." Could there really be a ghost in this tomb?”
"It's nothing. Qiao 'er, don't be afraid. All the evil spirits are just paper tigers! Old Li. Look at how much you talk, you scared our big sister!”Jun Zi laughed, looking fearless.
Qiao 'er felt slightly relieved.
At this time, Ye Yuan opened his mouth to remind him again." Junzi, don't say that I didn't tell you. After the coffin is opened, don't move blindly. Look at the situation first. Don't blindly fall into a rat hole again!"”
"I know, I know, hehe…"
The few of them stopped in front of the coffin and sized it up.
" Look at the carvings, the grandeur, and the workmanship. I reckon that this coffin is the only thing left of the general's military life that's worth some money…" Li Xun walked around the coffin and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Go, go, go. Don't jinx it!" Jun Zi glared at him." At the very least, there's a treasured sword or something. What's the use of just talking and not practicing? We have to open it and take a look!"”,…,
"Are you really going to open it?" Qiao 'er's expression was not good.
"Qiao 'er. "You don't know that in ancient times, the Mongolian soldiers went south to destroy the Song Dynasty. They did all kinds of burning, killing, and looting. Who knows how many of our Han family members they killed?”Jun Zi spoke with a serious expression. He clenched his fists indignantly, as if he hated the actions of the Mongolian soldiers.
"This bunch of bastards robbed a large amount of Mongolian silver and treasures. The general lying here might have brought some of his spoils of war underground. Anyway, they are all treasures of our Han people, so there's no need to be polite with him! Let's let the national treasure return to the light of day. This is called building an army, understand?”
This scared Qiao 'er so much that she couldn't refute.
" That seems to be the case…" Qiao 'er muttered. However, she felt that Jun Zi's next words were a little strange, but she couldn't pinpoint what was strange about them.
"Qiao 'er, how about this, you just stay at the side and shine a light for us!”Ye Yuan handed her the flashlight.
"Also, take a look at the candles!" Li Xun said.”
Qiao 'er had no choice but to agree.
"Come, come, let's get to work!" Jun Zi became excited.
