Hearing the system notification, Zhang Ruitong took two more steps forward.
A hundred years ago, the Zhang family had followed their ancestors 'instructions and visited King Lu's tomb once.
The difference was that the Zhang family followed the agreement with King Mu of Zhou.
While he was distracted, he heard Wu Sanxing's exclamation from the side."So the real coffin is here."
Fatty smiled happily." Such a big coffin. The things inside must be worth a lot of money. I didn't come here in vain!"”
However, seeing this, Fatty stared at the coffin in confusion.
"Strange, the coffin of the ancients had no intention of opening it again.
Look at this coffin. This mechanism was clearly designed to let someone open it again!”
Looking at the iron chain inside, it was obvious that it was designed to make it easier for the coffin to come out.
Wu Sanxing said,"We've encountered enough strange things along the way.”
"In my opinion, it's better to quickly open the coffin and take a few treasures from before. This trip is not in vain!”
The young man stared at the coffin and fell into deep thought.
The reason why he was able to become the Clan Leader of the Zhang Clan was all related to the tomb of King Lu.
Back then, the Zhang family came here and took away a dragon-patterned stone box that contained a baby.
He claimed that the child inside was still alive, but secretly found a little brother to impersonate him and respect him as the Holy Infant.
It was also because of this matter that the Wang family took advantage of the loophole and directly led to the decline of the Zhang family.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruitong couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart.
He walked to the coffin and said,"Prepare to open the coffin."”
Wu Sanxing couldn't wait any longer. He said,"I've seen it just now. This metal is considered a precious metal in the Warring States Period, but after so many years, most of it has aged.”
As he spoke, he took out his pistol and fired four shots at the chains.
The iron chains broke apart, leaving only a few that could temporarily be used to stabilize the situation.
"The remaining chains are even simpler," Wu Sanxing said with a smile.”
He looked at Pan Zi and motioned for him to go over and help.
At this moment, Wu Tianzhen first observed the big tree behind him and asked,""Third Uncle, what exactly is this tree? It can actually eat people?”
Wu Sanxing stood beside the coffin and said with a smile,""My nephew, this tree doesn't eat people.”
"This is the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress. It only catches people but doesn't eat them. The ones who really eat people are the big corpse beetles that live with the tree.”
He explained in detail the unique symbiotic relationship between the snake cypress and the corpse monster.
Hunted by snakes and cypresses, the dead eat the flesh.
Moreover, the cypress didn't kill people on its own. It only caught people and tied them to trees. Then, the corpse beetles would take advantage of the freshness to eat the living creatures.
" Stop studying the snake cypress!" Wu Sanxing shouted." Come and help me open it."”
The two of them worked together to put the coffin on the ground.
At this moment, the coffin suddenly trembled violently.
A muffled sound came from inside.
Everyone thought they had heard wrongly.
Zhang Ruitong leaned closer to listen and said,"Put down the coffin first. He's about to wake up!"”
The "he" he was referring to was Tie Miansheng in the coffin.
After thousands of years, a new round of skin had long grown and was ready to come out.
Wu Sanxing's expression changed as he said," How is that possible? This coffin is completely sealed. There's no air inside at all. Even if it could survive, it would have been suffocated to death long ago!”
As he spoke, he opened the bronze outer coffin.
The coffin was divided into several layers and was tightly sealed.
Zhang Ruitong said," The heaviest bronze outer coffin in my memory weighs nine tons. The one in front of me is completely made of bronze. I estimate that it weighs far more than nine tons!”
Even if he had the strength of nine oxen, he probably wouldn't be able to lift such a heavy coffin.
This was only the first outer coffin. The proper coffin was hidden in the middle, which was the most valuable part of the material.
Then, a layer of bronze coffin was opened. With a crack, the coffin was quickly pushed out.
Wu Sanxing was so tired that he was out of breath. He said to the little brother beside him,"I don't believe you. Little brother, come and help me.”
The young man nodded slowly and went up to help.
Zhang Ruitong took Wu Sanxing's place and was responsible for opening the coffin.
He reached out his right hand and pulled the bronze coffin out.
Wu Sanxing, who was standing at the side, suddenly looked up in surprise.
" He's actually so fast?"
Just now, he had been busy for half a day before he was able to complete a coffin plank.
This speed was so fast that he felt like they were opening the same coffin.
The outer coffin was opened, revealing an exquisite jade inlaid coffin.
The patterns on it were completely inlaid with jade, divided into squares and circles for orderly arrangement.
It covered the ancient saying that the sky was round and the earth was square.
Seeing the outer coffin inlaid with jade, Wu Sanxing suddenly stood up." Be careful. This coffin is the most valuable!”
Under his nervous gaze, Zhang Ruitong quickly removed the outer coffin.
Wu Sanxing went forward to take a closer look. After confirming that there was no damage on it, he was relieved.
A painted wooden coffin appeared before everyone's eyes.
"If we count that tree as a layer of outer coffins, we should have already removed two layers of outer coffins and two layers of coffins. The last layer is the most valuable part!”
Zhang Ruitong glanced at the pattern on the lacquer coffin. The coffin was carried by many skeleton ghost soldiers.
This was a strange drawing of ghost soldiers carrying coffins to the funeral.
Just as he saw the pattern on it clearly, he suddenly heard heavy breathing coming from inside.
It was as if he had been inside for too long and finally smelled the outside and threw it in.
