The three of them came to the low table. February Hong picked up the beast skin scroll and opened it.
"This is a record of the life of the tomb owner.”
"What does it say? Which country's king was the owner of this tomb during the Warring States Period?”
Xiang Qian hurriedly asked Er Yuehong. Zhang Qishan, who was standing at the side, also pricked up his ears, ready to hear who the owner of the tomb was.
"Let me see. The general meaning is: The owner of this ancient tomb was called Marquis Wen of Wei. Marquis Wen of Wei, grandson of Wei Huanzi, named Si, was the first king of Wei during the Warring States Period. He was the founder of Wei and reigned from 445 to 396 B.C. He had once appointed Li Kui as the prime minister, Wu Qi as the general, and Ximen Bao as the county magistrate of Ye. He had rewarded farming and war, built irrigation works, and carried out reforms, making Wei a powerful country at that time. He had once taken the west of the Qin River, crossed the State of Zhao to the north, and destroyed Zhongshan. He had also led the allied forces of Han and Zhao to the east, defeating the Qi army to the Great Wall of Qi. He had also attacked the Chu army to the south, preventing the Chu army from advancing north. He had become the ruler of the Warring States Period. Marquis Wen of Wei believed in Legalism. He had created hegemony, conferred marquises, reformed and concentrated power, united with the Three Jin Dynasties, destroyed Zhongshan, and opened up the West River. Marquis Wen of Wei died of illness in 396 B.C. and was buried here.”
"That's all? Since we know who the owner of the tomb is, let's see if there are any treasures.”
As he spoke, Xiang Qian looked around the palace.
"There's nothing here other than this sword on the table.”
"En, the tombs of the Warring States Period usually don't have much, only some bronze ware is the most common, so the five boxes of funerary objects in the second palace are already quite a lot. This is because Marquis Wen of Wei was the first monarch of Wei. If it was someone else, they might not have so many.”
Hearing Xiang Qian's complaints, Er Yuehong explained the general situation of the ancient tomb of the Warring States Period to Xiang Qian.
"Lord Xiang, since you don't have a suitable protective divine weapon, why don't you take this sword to protect yourself? Although it was not a famous sword, it was the sword of a founding monarch, so it should not be too bad.”
Zhang Qishan picked up the sword on the short table and handed it to Xiang Qian. Xiang Qian did not reach out to take it because as long as he got the python's inner core, he would have the system reward of a divine weapon when he returned. The divine weapon rewarded by the system would really be a divine weapon. So Xiang Qian said to Zhang Qishan," Thank you, Lord Zeng. I don't need it. I have weapons at home, but I've been staying at Second Master's house for the past few days. Then, I went to the tomb, so I didn't have time to go back and get it. When I go back, I'll bring it with me, in case I don't have a suitable weapon when I use it." In a while, the inner core of that python will be mine. I can use it to drug it.”
Seeing that Xiang Qian did not take the sword, Zhang Qishan handed it to Er Yuehong, who was the most knowledgeable about the ancient tombs of the Warring States Period. Er Yuehong did not stand on ceremony and reached out to take the sword.
After Zhang Qishan handed the sword to Er Yuehong, he turned to Xiang Qian and said,"Alright, Lord Xiang. In that case, when we get out, take another box of Dark Artifacts. I'll split the rest with Second Master and Eighth Master. What do you think?”
"Alright, Lord Zeng will make the decision. Let's pack up and go back so that Lord Myna and the adjutant won't worry.”
After saying that, Xiang Qian walked to the side of the dead python. He put his hands into the python's seven inches and began to grope. After a while, he finally took out a fist-sized, milky-white inner core.
Xiang Qian put away the inner core and returned to the second palace with Zhang Qishan and Eryue Hong, who were waiting at the entrance of the main hall. When they arrived at the second palace, the three of them tidied up the five boxes of Dark Artifacts and transported them to the platform in batches.
After the five boxes of Dark Artifacts were transported to the platform, Xiang Qian and the other two each carried a box of Dark Artifacts and carefully stepped on the iron chain to return to the platform where Eighth Master Qi and the others were.
Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong put down the boxes on their shoulders and went back to carry the remaining two big boxes over.
Right at this moment, a few loud sounds came from the tomb passage that Xiang Qian and the others came from. Following the loud sounds, the entire ancient tomb began to shake.
"You, quickly go and see what's going on?”
Zhang Qishan pointed at a guard and asked him to enter the tomb to see what had happened.
The general ran out in less than a minute.
"Lord Zeng, the inside of the catacomb has collapsed. Someone must have used explosives to blow it up.”
"This should be the work of the Japanese pirates. They must have come back with explosives after we came in. Then, they blew up the tomb and wanted to trap us. Lord Zeng, what should we do next? It seemed like this platform was going to fail!”
When Eighth Master Qi heard the guard's words, he hurriedly asked Zhang Qishan.
"We'll settle this score with the pirate merchant association when we get out! Everyone, don't panic. Quickly look around and see if there are any other exits. There must be some exits left behind by the craftsmen when they built the ancient tomb!”
As soon as Zhang Qishan finished speaking, everyone began to look around carefully.
"Lord Zeng, come and look. There's a passage here!”
Just as everyone could not find the exit and began to panic, the adjutant's voice sounded.
Xiang Qian and the others immediately came to the adjutant's side. Zhang Qishan was right. Just below the edge of the platform, there was a passage in an inconspicuous place on the cliff wall. If one did not look carefully, they would not have noticed it.
Xiang Qian and Zhang Qishan were the first to jump into the passageway. Then, they caught the boxes thrown by Eryue Hong and the adjutant. After the five large boxes were thrown away, Eryue Hong first let Eighth Master Qi and the Zhang family's guards jump over, and he brought up the rear. After everyone jumped over, Eryue Hong leaped into the tunnel.
Zhang Qishan, Xiang Qian, and the others walked along the passage for a while. The front was blocked by the stone wall and there was no way out. Zhang Qishan went forward and knocked on the stone wall. He found that the stone wall was empty behind it, so he called a few guards and asked them to use Luoyang shovels to chisel through the stone wall.
After the stone wall was chiseled through, there was an abandoned mine that had been mining ores for a day.
After Xiang Qian and the others walked in the mine for more than an hour, they finally saw the exit of the mine.
The group exited the mine and found that the exit was on the other side of the mountain, so there were no pirates waiting outside.
Everyone carried the boxes and began to descend the mountain along the small path.
After descending the mountain, Zhang Qishan brought his adjutant to a nearby village and found two carriages.
They loaded the boxes into the carriage and returned to Changsha City. When they returned to Changsha City, it was already the third day after they went to the tomb.
After entering Changsha City, Xiang Qian bid farewell to Zhang Qishan and the others and went home separately. As for the Dark Artifact and treasures, Zhang Qishan would send someone to send them to his residence later.
Xiang Qian returned home, boiled water, and took a shower. After eating, he went to the study room and started contacting the system.
