Night enshrouded them.
Other than the occasional breeze, there was no other movement in the cave.
He placed the miner's lamp in a corner of the altar.
The light shone on Wang Cheng's body, making him look slender and thin. His clear eyes seemed to have a ball of fire dancing in them.
He placed his hand on the altar.
Wang Cheng knew that as long as he pressed hard.
The mechanism would be triggered, and the coffin hidden under the nine-headed snake cypress would appear.
He had come for the fish talisman.
Wang Cheng silently calculated the time. It had been at least half an hour since he left.
Little Third Master must have noticed his disappearance.
If he delayed for too long, his plan would be ruined by the time they found this place.
He took a deep breath.
Wang Cheng didn't hesitate anymore. He pressed down on the corner of the altar.
Ka ~
It was as if a bubble had burst.
A strange sound suddenly rang out in the darkness.
Then, Wang Cheng saw the altar sink, revealing a long staircase that connected to the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress.
He looked over.
Behind the snake cypress, there was indeed a huge crack.
He lifted the miner's lamp.
Wang Cheng quickly walked to the back of the cypress tree and casually put the lamp aside to ensure that the light could shine into the coffin.
It was a huge bronze coffin.
It weighed more than a ton!
It looked magnificent.
Wang Cheng couldn't be bothered to marvel at the maturity of the bronze smelting technology during the Warring States Period. Instead, he frowned and looked at the iron chain that locked the coffin.
How could he open it without leaving any traces?
He had been thinking about this question since the night before he left.
Fortunately, the chains were worse than he had imagined.
After all, during the Warring States Period, ironware was still in its infancy, and bronze ware was the mainstream.
More than 2,000 years had passed.
The iron chain had already rusted beyond recognition.
Many places were already rotten and broken at the touch.
After finding the weak spot, Wang Cheng took out the Whirlwind Shovel and carefully cut the iron chain, trying not to leave any traces.
After all, with Third Uncle and the others around, they were the most sensitive to such subtle changes.
It took a few minutes.
Wang Cheng put away his Whirlwind Spade.
A string of Five Emperor Coins and a black donkey hoof appeared in his hand.
The person inside had lived in the jade figurine for more than a thousand years and was even more terrifying than the zombie in the stone coffin.
He opened the lid of the bronze coffin with great effort.
With the help of the light from the miner's lamp, Wang Cheng immediately saw a hair-raising scene.
A figure wrapped in a jade figurine.
Her chest was still heaving up and down.
He could even see the air exhaled from his nose.
He had thought that this scene in the book was just an exaggeration, but now that he had seen it for himself, he realized that this guy was really alive.
Perhaps, in a few years, Mr. Iron-faced, who had occupied the jade figurine to extend his life, would really be able to defy the heavens and change his life, becoming immortal!
But thinking of this…
Wang Cheng suddenly had a huge doubt in his heart.
If the fish talisman in the bronze coffin was really put in by Wang Canghai…
That meant that he had indeed been here before.
Since he had seen the jade figurine, he could split himself up and enter it with his abilities to complete the mystery of immortality that he had been pursuing for his entire life.
But why didn't he do so?
Could it be that this kind of longevity was not what he wanted?
Or did he look down on this kind of eternal sleep?
From the Nine Dragon Secret Manual that Wang Zanghai had left behind, he could actually pry into the heart of that old ancestor. When the destiny returned, the line of words he had written left a strong regret.
Since he had once stood in front of immortality, why should he give up?
Wang Cheng was really puzzled.
After a while.
Seeing that the living corpse in the jade figurine did not move, he heaved a sigh of relief. He looked into the depths of the coffin, where there was a purple jade box.
It was carved from a whole piece of purple jade.
Wang Cheng, who had fused with the appraisal art, could tell at a glance that the value of this box was probably the highest value funerary artifact in the entire ancient tomb after the jade figurines.
However, he was not tempted at all.
He carefully picked up the jade box and opened it.
At the top was a roll of silk inlaid with gold.
It was well preserved.
He opened it and saw a line of ancient texts from the six dynasties.
With half a guess, Wang Cheng softly read out," Duke Ming's Book of Shang's Earth!”
Duke Ming should be his title, while King Shang was his title.
This was also the first time in history that a tomb robber had been conferred the title of king and minister.
Next to the six words, there were also densely packed small words. Wang Cheng had a headache reading it. He casually glanced at it and no longer paid attention to it. Instead, he looked at the bottom of the jade box.
He knocked lightly.
There was a hidden compartment in the middle of the jade box.
Judging from the sound, it was hollow.
He didn't know what Wang Zang Hai was thinking. Since it was a setup to let the Wang family's junior continue his career and hide it so deeply, wouldn't it be a waste of effort if he missed it?
However, this thought only flashed in his mind for a moment before it dissipated.
After hundreds of years, who could guess what that person was really thinking?
Opening the secret compartment, Wang Cheng's heart pounded.
A small copper fish lay in the jade box.
It was about the size of a thumb.
However, the workmanship was extremely exquisite. Even the scales on the fish's body could be clearly seen.
What was even more amazing was that there was a lifelike snake on the brow bone of the copper fish eye.
"Snake Browed Copper Fish!"
"So that's what happened."
Wang Cheng's eyes were bright, and his face was full of amazement.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!”
The moment the copper fish appeared in his hand, a crisp notification sounded in the depths of his mind.
Hu ~
Hearing the notification, Wang Cheng subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
He quickly put the fish talisman into the system space and restored it one by one. When he closed the bronze coffin lid and was thinking of taking a break, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the distance.
Thump! Thump!
Thump! Thump!
There were two.
One after the other.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like thunder in his ears.
Wang Cheng's expression immediately turned ugly.
At this time…who was it?
This thing doesn't cost money, but it's really important for the new book. Please invest some money, thank you!
