Wu Xie said,""How is this possible? There was no sunlight in the ancient tomb, and no one watered him. Even if there were trees, they would have rotted away long ago, right?”
Fatty kept pointing at the cave in front of him and said,"I can't see it clearly because it's too far away, but from the outline, it really is a tree. Why don't we go over and take a look?”
Chen Hao looked in the direction Fatty was pointing at. Through his Yin-Yang Eye, he could clearly see a white coral tree with dozens of small and exquisite bells hanging on it. Under the illumination of the torchlight, they emitted a dark yellow glow.
" Is this a bronze bell?" Chen Hao muttered to himself.
However, the shape of this bell was obviously different from the bell on the big corpse bug's tail last time. He was not sure if it was the same kind of bell.
Just as they were wondering, the little brother had already walked towards the coral tree. Seeing this, everyone could only follow.
Soon, everyone arrived at the cave. Looking around, they realized that it was a man-made brick cave. The coral tree was placed in the middle of the cave.
It was a huge white coral tree that was two meters tall. It was divided into 12 branches that spread out. It was indeed shaped like a small tree, and the carving was very beautiful. However, the texture of the coral was very ordinary, and it was not a rare species.
The coral was planted in a huge porcelain basin with many pebbles on the surface. Who had planted it here? Was it the tomb owner or someone else?
He looked at the small bell hanging on the branch. Under the illumination of the flashlight, it emitted a dark yellow light. Although it was suffused with golden light, he could tell from the copper corrosion inside that it should be gilded bronze and not made of gold.
"It really is a bronze bell! Could it be that Wang Zanghai dug it out from an ancient tomb and placed it in his own tomb?”Chen Hao was very puzzled.
This bronze bell had a mysterious origin. It was at least an antique from before the Warring States Period. Moreover, it contained a magical power that could disturb people's minds. It was extremely dangerous.
He wondered where Wang Zanghai had found these bronze bells and why he had placed them in the Lu Palace and his tomb.
When Fatty saw that it was not a golden tree, he was instantly disappointed. He still did not give up and asked,"Xiao Wu, do you think this coral is worth anything?”
Wu Xie was also an antique dealer, so he did have some research on corals. However, he deliberately wanted to squeeze Fatty, so he said,"Fatty, I'm not trying to discourage you, but with the quality of this coral, it's at most 16 yuan per catty in the market.”
Fatty was skeptical. He glanced at the young man and Chen Hao, and both of them nodded.
Fatty was depressed and scolded,"F * ck! I thought I would be rich this time, but it's all for nothing again!”
Wu Xie chuckled: " Fatty, don't be discouraged. Let me tell you, although this coral isn't worth much, the bell on it is a good thing."”
Fatty looked at him suspiciously and said,"Kid, you have a wicked smile on your face. Are you talking nonsense again? I've sold some of these broken bells before, and they were only worth a thousand or eight hundred yuan. Tell me, what's so valuable about this bell?”
"With your little business acumen, of course you can't tell." To tell you the truth, I can't estimate the exact value because the market fluctuates a lot. But I'm sure that this bell is definitely worth more than gold of the same volume.”
Wu Xie pointed at the bell and said,""Do you see the patterns carved on it? This is at least from before the Warring States Period.”
Fatty was stunned by his words. He didn't know if he was telling the truth, so he wanted to reach out and pick one to take a look.
The young man beside him quickly pulled him back and said,"Don't move."
At this moment, Fatty had already stepped on the huge porcelain basin. At this time, he was pulled back by someone. He could not help but be very curious and asked the little brother what was going on.
"This bell looks familiar. Do you remember where we met before?"”
When he said this, everyone immediately remembered that a few weeks ago, when they passed through the corpse cave of the Lu Palace, they caught a large corpse bug. There was a hexagonal bronze bell hanging on the tail of that bug, which was very similar to the one in front of them.
That bell could make a sound like a human whispering. It was like a ghost and could disturb people's minds. Now that they thought about it, everyone had a look of fear on their faces.
Fortunately, Chen Hao had used the Hair Mound Seal and the Azure Dragon Blood to dispel the control of the sound, allowing everyone to wake up. Otherwise, who knew what terrifying things would have happened?
There were at least 40 to 50 bells hanging on this coral tree. If they were to touch it, none of them would be able to come out alive.
Wu Xie was puzzled." That's strange. This thing is from before the Warring States Period. Why would it appear here?" Could it be that Wang Zanghai was also a grave robber?”
"That's possible," the young man said. No one knows what Wang Zanghai did in his early years. Moreover, he is proficient in Feng Shui and is very clear about the layout of the ancient tomb. If he wants to rob the tomb, he should be able to do it with ease. However, I remember that his family is prominent and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. He shouldn't do such lowly things.”
When the stuffy oil bottle said "cheap", his expression did not change. He did not realize that he had scolded everyone present.
Chen Hao didn't care about this. After all, he had to bear all kinds of infamy for doing such a thing.
At this moment, Fatty seemed to have thought of something and said with a smug expression,"In fact, other than those who fight in reverse, there is another kind of person who often encounters ancient tombs. Do you know who they are?”
When everyone heard his words, they immediately reacted and remembered Wang Zanghai's identity.
Wu Xie said," That's right. Wang Zanghai is an outstanding architect. He has also participated in many major projects!" Could it be that he had dug up these bells while carrying out the project?”
Fatty nodded and said," This person can be said to be the biggest contractor at that time. He must have dug up ancient tombs often during construction. When we go back, we'll check the information and see if he has been to the Lu Palace."”
At this moment, Ah Ning, who was pretending to be crazy, looked at the coral tree with bells hanging all over it, and her eyes flashed with fear.
Her goal this time was to follow the order of Judd Kao to investigate the bronze bell at the seabed tomb. In the end, the moment she touched the bell, the demonic sound shattered her mind on the spot and she almost went crazy.
If Chen Hao hadn't helped her regain her consciousness, she probably wouldn't have been able to wake up for the rest of her life.
The fear in Ah Ning's eyes disappeared in a flash because Wu Xie was already looking at her.
Wu Xie said," These bells definitely can't be touched. I think she must have touched these bells to become mentally unstable." We don't have much time left. Let's leave this place and dig a hole to escape as soon as possible.”
Everyone nodded in agreement and left the cave.
