It was night time, and the temple fair was at its most lively.
The party began to dig a hole. Because Second Master didn't need anyone to entertain guests, Zhou Tong followed Old Zhao and the others to learn how to dig a hole.
"Little tyrant, in terms of true ability, we are definitely not as good as you. Let me tell you about this big hole now.”
"The Luoyang shovel is the tool that we use to eat. If there are any treasures or good things down there, we will know roughly with a shovel.”
"The entrance to a large tomb usually has no more than ten sections, and the entrance to a small tomb has no more than three sections. We will analyze the soil layers on the shovel to determine the exact location of the entrance.”
"You should know more about the specifics than us, so I won't go into detail here. You're Second Master's disciple, so you naturally know more than us.”
Just as Old Liu was introducing the relevant procedures to Zhou Tong, Old Zhang walked behind the two like a thief and whispered,
"Masters, it's getting late. We should leave.”
This was Zhou Tong's first time entering a tomb, so he didn't know the ins and outs of it. He walked in the middle. If he really encountered any trouble, it would be convenient for him to escape.
Following the hole, the three of them jumped in. Based on the size and scale of the ear chamber, Zhou Tong determined that it should be the tomb of a Song Dynasty official. As for its rank, he could not be sure for the time being.
The three of them walked along the tomb path and arrived at the main tomb chamber. The journey was very smooth. There were no traps, no poisonous gas, and no dumplings. It was so safe that it was simply out of place.
"Old Liu, Old Zhang, are most of the acupoints that you guys go through like this? Why do I feel like there's Duan Shun in this operation!”
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Old Liu and Old Zhang nearly burst out laughing.
"What's wrong? What else does our little lord want us to encounter? Most of the caves were like this. Only those with high status and power would set up traps in the tomb.”
"Old Zhang, it seems like our little tyrant is quite ambitious. He hopes to go big on his first trip, haha.”
Perhaps it was because the value of this tomb was not high, the three of them did not encounter any danger or traps along the way. The door was wide open, and there was not even a door.
But Zhou Tong felt a strange sensation, an indescribable feeling.
This was his first time entering the tomb, and Zhou Tong was filled with curiosity about everything around him. He carefully observed the arrangements within the tomb, and finally, Zhou Tong discovered some clues.
"Old Liu, Old Zhang, come over and see if this was a stolen cave.”
Zhou Tong pointed to a wall. The bricks on the wall were still the same, but the mud used was no longer the same.
Old Liu and Old Zhang came to a conclusion after asking around.
"Little tyrant, this time it's probably a mystery. We're going to return empty-handed.”
"Not necessarily. Under normal circumstances, grave robbers wouldn't have such a good heart to seal the cave after leaving.”
"The only possibility is that there is danger in the tomb, forcing them to leave and seal it.”
"Moreover, no one has touched the things in the ear room. There are only two possibilities now.”
"The first possibility is that the previous batch of tomb raiders didn't discover the existence of the ear chamber, but the probability of this is very small, or even almost impossible.”
"The second is that they encounter something they can't fight against in the tomb, scaring them out and hiding in the thief's cave, sealing the wall to ensure their own safety.”
The two of them had considered Zhou Tong's words for a moment, and felt that they were somewhat reasonable, but they also felt that they weren't that reasonable. The only thing they could be certain of was that the thing in the ear chamber hadn't been taken.
"Little tyrant, should we go back first and wait for the second master to come before we decide whether to open the restaurant or not? This way, we will have a greater chance of success.”
"I understand my master's personality. If he comes over, he definitely won't allow us to open the shop. Asking my master is equivalent to giving up on this operation.”
Old Zhang and Old Liu were caught in a dilemma. They were indeed attracted by the treasure in the cave. The two small items in the ear chamber were not even enough to cover the cost of this trip!
Zhou Tong's goal was also very simple. He was unwilling to leave like this. Moreover, he believed that his Taotie blood was not inferior to the Qilin blood.
Adding on the fact that there were no signs of fighting or death in the tomb, Zhou Tong had reason to suspect that there had been an internal conflict between the previous group of grave robbers, and that someone had been playing tricks on them, forcing them to give up on this operation.
"We'll do it. At worst, we'll just die. If nothing happens, we'll eat and drink. If anything happens, little tyrant, you'll have to take responsibility for us.”
"Alright, I believe that there will definitely be no problem. Don't worry, it's not that easy to turn into a corpse!”
The three of them came to the main tomb, took out their weapons, and prepared to open it.
The coffin in the main tomb was a hexagonal coffin. From the wood, it could be seen that the owner of the tomb was not an ordinary person, or rather, his official position should not be low.
Furthermore, when Zhou Tong was in the earthen chamber, he had carefully examined the funerary objects within and discovered that there was a universe within them. The exterior was copper, while the interior was gold.
This meant that the owner of the tomb was a low-key and wealthy person. Coupled with the hexagonal coffin, one could imagine the status of the owner of the tomb.
Old Zhang and Old Liu pushed open the lid of the coffin. The three of them saw a shocking scene, and at the same time verified Zhou Tong's conjecture.
There was a corpse lying in the coffin, wearing a golden mask. There were also a large number of gold and jewelry stored inside the coffin.
Seeing this scene, Old Liu couldn't hold it in anymore. He reached out to take the gold, but because he was too hasty, his hand was cut by the coffin nail.
Old Liu paid no attention to his wound and continued to grab at the gold. The blood on his hand dripped onto the golden mask, and the uneasiness in Zhou Tong's heart grew even stronger.
When he saw the corpse in the coffin twitch, Zhou Tong knew that it was going to change.
"Old Zhang, Old Liu, run quickly, they're going to turn into corpses.”
Zhou Tong's words were like a detonator. As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse in the coffin rose up, kicking the coffin lid away and jumping out of it.
The door to the main tomb, which did not originally exist, was sealed by a Subduing Dragon Stone Tablet. This time, everyone was in a dilemma.
