Lin Yi tapped the ground with his sword to make sure there weren't any traps before taking two steps in.
"Who is this woman?" Su Mei and the other two were completely dumbfounded.
Not far away, the woman lying in the crystal coffin was clearly visible. Other than her slightly wrinkled skin, her facial features were very exquisite. Her entire body was covered in jewelry and all kinds of colored stones. She was very beautiful.
"This is the Queen of Jingjue that Chu Yuqi and the others have been looking for.”
In the other world, Lin Yi had read up on the Jingjue Kingdom. He didn't know much about the mechanisms, but he knew a lot about the Jingjue Queen.
Standing in front of the coffin, Lin Yi looked at the woman lying inside."Queen Jingjue was extremely powerful when she was alive. She became queen at the age of thirteen and died of illness at the age of thirty-two. Once, she had created an unprecedented prosperity for Jingjue Kingdom. She had used all of her powerful soldiers and horses, and everyone in the surrounding 36 countries knew about her.”
"How can this woman be preserved so well after being stored for a thousand years?”
"Are those luminous pearls on her body?" Shen Yuhang asked in puzzlement.”
" No, it's a gemstone that's very similar to a luminous pearl. The people of Jingjue Country call it the Blood Soul Jade. It's produced by the Blood Soul Flower that blooms in the desert. However, this kind of jade is extremely difficult to find. According to historical records, there are only three in the world. The Queen of Jingjue herself has two of them. The other one is unknown.”
Lin Yi estimated that the Queen's burial items were worth at least a few billion.
"My goodness, such an expensive thing. If we take it out, won't we be rich?”Liu Kun's body grew bigger. As he spoke, he reached out to lift the lid of the crystal coffin.
"Don't move!"
Lin Yi quickly stopped him and shook his head."According to historical records, there was always a high priest by the side of the Queen of Jingjue when she was alive. He could control lightning. The incantation that the high priest created was something that no one could break since ancient times.”
"So?" Liu Kun was so scared that his entire body turned cold.
"It's been thousands of years, and the Queen of Exquisite is still so well-preserved. Do you really think it's just a pile of stones in the coffin?”
"What we experienced outside was designed by a low-level priest, but this coffin is the most important."”
"Wow, Brother Yi, how do you know so much?”Su Mei asked with admiration.
"Otherwise, how would I dare to play grave robbing?"
With that, Lin Yi walked to the crystal coffin and stabbed the sword into it. He took a few steps back and placed his right hand on his left chest."Junior had the audacity to enter the Queen's tomb and break this thousand-year-old forbidden spell. Please forgive me, Queen. Junior will only take three catties and three taels of things.”
Lin Yi turned around and took out the bronze mirror from his bag. With his back facing the coffin, he raised the bronze mirror high and inspected it.
Instantly, he frowned. The bronze mirror was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen.
"Lin Yi, what's going on?" Su Mei and the others asked when they saw his baffled look.
"There are rules in the profession. When we encounter a large tomb and open the coffin, we must light a candle in the southeast direction. If the candle goes out, we must not move the tomb.”
Lin Yi raised the bronze mirror again."I came in a hurry and didn't bring any candles. I only brought the bronze mirror.”
"Then what should we do? This coffin can't be opened?" Liu Kun was stunned.
"There's another way to open the coffin, the bronze mirror in my hand." With his back facing the coffin, he placed the bronze mirror above his head. If the mirror reflected light, the coffin could be opened. If it was as dark as before, the coffin could not be touched.”
"What will happen if I touch it?" Shen Yuhang became nervous.
"If you insist on going your own way, the consequence will be that you will become a person in a coffin.”
"Ah…"
The three of them cried out in fear as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking. They all curled up and ran behind Lin Yi. They had no idea what to do."Lin Yi, then…then what should we do? Should we continue to open the coffin?"
"That depends on whether you dare to do it." Lin Yi smiled mysteriously."Since the coffin has been opened, the High Priest's forbidden spell will also be touched.”
"You make it sound so easy."
Su Mei raised her arm and hit Lin Yi."Aren't there only a few gold, silver, and jewels in the coffin? How much money do you want to bring us out? I'll give it to you, alright?”
"Su Mei, don't mess around. Isn't your family selling antiques?”
Lin Yi looked at Su Mei in surprise."Your family…has someone who makes antique sounds? So you know a lot of grave robbers?”
"That's all my second brother's doing. I've never cared about these things.”
As Su Mei spoke, she slowly approached the crystal coffin and stared at the Queen of Jingjue's face from top to bottom. She cried out,"Lin Yi, come here and take a look, look….. Doesn't she look like a person?”
"Nonsense, she is human." Liu Kun replied in a bad mood.
"I'm not joking with you. Who do you think this Queen of Exquisite looks like?”
With that, Lin Yi was dragged to the coffin by Su Mei. They had been looking at it from the side, so they didn't notice. Now that they were looking at it from the front, the three of them gasped.
"She…Why does she look so similar to Chu Yuqi?”Shen Yuhang was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Lin Yi woke up from the dream and remembered everything that happened before."Chu Yuqi is most likely the descendant of Queen Jingjue.”
"What?"
Lin Yi looked at the three dazed faces and continued,"Ever since she entered the tomb, she used Professor Liang as an excuse to find the Blood Soul Flower and revive the Queen of Extinction. Chu Yuqi's true goal was to resurrect the Queen of Jingjue and acknowledge her as her family.”
