As for the situation where the candle could not be lit…
Chen Feng carefully observed the candle and realized that there was nothing unusual about the white wax. However, he also tried, but the result was that he could not ignite it.
Somehow, there seemed to be some special factor preventing them from lighting the candles.
When he realized this, Chen Feng did not choose to turn around and leave. Instead, he was even more eager to open the coffin.
This was the only way to stop the tomb owner from getting angry. Furthermore, Chen Feng felt that there was something he needed to know about this coffin.
That's right!
After returning from Miaoling, Chen Feng had never forgotten what had happened to him.
Therefore, Chen Feng was eager to understand the principle behind the corpse transformation. That was why he wanted to open the coffin. As for the danger of the tomb owner's corpse, he had already taken precautions.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng immediately stabbed the dagger into the coffin lid and carefully pushed it along the gap.
As a large amount of white powder fell off, Chen Feng realized that the coffin lid had indeed loosened. However, this coffin was still too heavy and required a few people to work together to open it.
"Old Wu, the two of you come and help me…"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's call, Wu Bayi and the other two hurriedly came over. Then, the three of them reached out and pressed on the edge of the coffin lid, then pushed it forward with force.
Creak ~
As the coffin lid was opened, a thick smell of dust instantly sprayed out from the coffin. At this moment, Chen Feng hurriedly called the two of them to squat down and avoid the wind.
After all, even though they had the Northern Region's Black Pearl in their mouths, no one could be sure what the gas in the coffin was.
After waiting for about two minutes, Chen Feng carefully placed a lit match close to the open coffin. This time, the flames were normal.
"Phew ~"
Chen Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no danger. Then, the three of them stood up carefully and shone their flashlights into the coffin.
Chen Feng and the other two were stunned when they saw this.
As expected, there was a corpse that had been in Chen Feng's coffin for thousands of years. The corpse of the owner of the tomb was indeed huge. It almost filled the coffin when it lay in it. When it stood up, it was at least two meters tall.
Gulp!
Chen Feng gulped and could not help but look at the weapon behind him. He finally knew how tyrannical the Khitan general was back then.
If this two-meter-tall giant were to wield a Ma Su that weighed dozens of kilograms, he would be a human-shaped weapon on the battlefield!
"Alright... Fatty, hurry up and give me that jade pendant.”
Chen Feng did not dare to wait any longer. He immediately reached out to ask Fatty for the jade pendant. Although Fatty was reluctant, he still gave the jade pendant to Chen Feng with a bitter expression.
After that, Chen Feng did not hesitate and respectfully placed the two jade pendants in the left and right hands of the tomb owner.
After doing all this, Chen Feng instructed Wu Bayi,"Old Wu, go and light the candle now…"
"Good!"
This time, Wu Bayi quickly went to the southeast corner of the tomb and used a match to lean against the candle. Strangely, the candle was lit smoothly this time.
"This is…"
Seeing this scene, Wu Bayi could not help but turn to look at Chen Feng and the other two. This time, the three of them did not speak. The tomb was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After all, no one could explain this…
However, the candle was easily lit, so who could be sure that there were no supernatural incidents in this world?
"Alright, Old Wu. No matter what, it's a good thing. Could the tomb owner be appeased now? Old Chen, let's hurry up and look around to see if there are any other treasures that we can take away.”
In the end, it was Fatty who could not help but break the silence. However, Chen Feng was not in a hurry to answer him. Instead, he immediately bent down and used his gloved right hand to reach into the coffin.
However, he did not search for the burial items. Instead, he carefully pressed the tomb owner's arm twice through his clothes.
"Old Chen?"
Seeing this scene, Fatty was a little puzzled. However, Wu Bayi immediately gestured for him to shut up and whispered,""He is inspecting the corpse of the tomb owner…"
That's right!
Chen Feng was indeed examining the corpse, but he was not feeling around. Instead, he was checking to see if the skin of the corpse was soft.
Because if the corpse could still remain soft after thousands of years, then this dried corpse was very likely to turn into a corpse. However, the corpse was wearing heavy armor. Chen Feng could not press it down no matter what.
Realizing this, Chen Feng did not dare to let his guard down.
After all, although he had the Hairmound Seal, he might not be able to stop the tomb owner from turning into a corpse. Moreover, he still hadn't figured out what was going on with this corpse.
Hence, Chen Feng carefully stood up and turned around."Old Wu, take out the white cloth bag from my backpack.”
Hearing Chen Feng's instructions, Wu Bayi did not say anything and took his backpack. Then, Chen Feng found a cloth bag from inside. After opening it, he poured out a handful of copper coins.
"Old Chen…Why are you doing this?
Seeing this scene, Fatty could not help but ask. When Wu Bayi saw the appearance of the copper coins, his eyes suddenly constricted and he said in surprise,"This is…Gossip money? Where did you get it?"
Hearing their questions, Chen Feng nodded and said,"I got this gossip money from Panjiayuan. It's all real. This kind of copper coin had the Ming Eight Trigrams on the front and the Mountain Chief Pardon Order on the back…It was a coin privately cast by the Taoist temple during the Ming Dynasty. It was also the only official currency that could replace copper coins.”
"What is this copper coin for?”Upon hearing this, Fatty still did not understand.
At this moment, Wu Bayi said impatiently,""This kind of copper coin is used by Taoism to perform divination. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits. Although it was not worth much, it was said to be a good keepsake. I told you to read more books, but you only care about eating meat…"
That's right!
Wu Bayi was right. Although the Eight Trigrams was not precious, it was indeed a Taoist token. However, others only knew one part of it and did not know the other.
In fact, another use of the gossip money was to eliminate the resentment of the dead and to suppress the corpse. Usually, when the deceased was buried, there would be a total of ten Eight Trigrams Coins placed on the left and right sides of the coffin.
