"Good heavens, so the coffin is hidden here!”Looking at the coffin that appeared, Fatty's face was filled with excitement. He said that he was going to open the coffin.
On the way here, Old Jiang had mentioned to him that the most precious things in tombs were usually placed in coffins.
Looking at the coffin in front of him, Fatty thought that there must be something good inside.
But when the fat man passed by Jiang Chen, he was stopped by Jiang Chen.
"Old Jiang, why are you pulling me?"
Fatty sounded a little anxious.
Seeing that the good thing was right in front of him, the feeling of being stopped made Fatty's heart ache.
Jiang Chen looked at the fatty and said,""Wait a minute. To open the coffin in the tomb, we have to follow the rules of the gold-looting officer. We have to light a candle in the southeast corner.”
There were four major tomb raiding sects in the martial world: Send Qiu Tianguan, move mountain Taoist, touch gold lieutenant, discharge ridge strong man.
Jiang Chen had inherited the 16-character Secret Skill of Yin and Yang Feng Shui, so he was naturally a member of the Gold Hunting Commandant's branch.
He had to abide by the rules.
Then Jiang Chen signaled Old Hu to take out a compass and locate the southeast corner of the tomb.
In the 16-word Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique.
The purpose of lighting a candle in the southeast corner was to send a message to the tomb owner.
He hoped that the tomb owner would see that he was forced by life, or that there was a reason for it, and let him go.
If there was anything that offended him or he took something that he shouldn't have taken, the candle would change.
If the candle went out, he should put the thing in his hand back where it was and leave the tomb immediately.
This was also the saying that had always been circulating among the gold-looting officers. When a man lit a candle, a ghost blew out the lamp. When the rooster crowed, the lamp would be extinguished, but one would not be able to loot gold.
This was a contract between the living and the dead. It had been passed down for thousands of years, and no exceptions could be made.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the fat man suddenly understood. He hadn't expected there to be so many rules for opening coffins.
It didn't take long for Old Hu to confirm the location.
Jiang Chen looked at the location that Old Hu had locked onto. He took out a candle from his bag, lit it, and placed it in the southeast corner of the main tomb.
The orange candlelight shone on Jiang Chen's face, piercing the darkness in the corner.
Jiang Chen's voice sounded when he saw the candlelight was still.
"Fatty, open the coffin."
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Fatty, who couldn't wait any longer, hurried to the coffin and prepared to open it.
The three of them were standing in different directions in front of the coffin. Jiang Chen looked at the black rosewood coffin with golden patterns on it. He took out his shovel and cut the gap between the lid of the coffin, destroying the wax seal inside.
When the wax seal was removed, Jiang Chen inserted the shovel into the gap of the coffin and pushed it up. With a creak, a gap was opened in the coffin lid.
Seeing the gap in the coffin lid, Old Hu and Fatty pushed forward together and opened the coffin halfway.
"Ding dong!"
"A precious item has been detected, Meteoric Metal!”
" You meet the conditions for the exchange!"
"The items available for exchange are as follows!"
"Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber!"
"Host, do you wish to exchange?"
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard the system's notification. He couldn't help but look down. He saw a tall male corpse in a mask lying in the coffin.
The corpse had already withered and decayed, leaving only a black skin covering the skeleton and a red shroud wrapped around its body.
Beside the corpse was a long object covered in mottled rust. It was vaguely in the shape of a knife.
Jiang Chen looked at this thing, and a trace of doubt flashed through his mind. This thing was so useless that even the people who picked up the junk on the streets wouldn't even look at it. Was it the Meteoric Metal that the system had detected?
Curious, Jiang Chen took out the knife covered in rust. It felt heavy in his hand. Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen confirmed the trade.
What a joke. Legend had it that the Great Xia Dragonfinch was a weapon made by the overlord of the ancient times, Di Zhi, who had collected the essence of heaven and earth. He would be a fool if he did not exchange for it.
"Ding dong!"
"Exchange successful!"
After the system notified him that the exchange was successful, nothing strange happened. Everything seemed ordinary.
Even the knife in his hand was still rusted.
However, Jiang Chen knew that it was the Dragon Kingdom's famous divine weapon that was covered in rust.
Great Xia Dragonfinch!
"Old Jiang, why did you take out such a lousy thing?”
The fat man looked at the knife in Jiang Chen's hand and asked curiously.
Since all the good things were in the coffin, why did Old Jiang take out something that was obviously worthless?
Jiang Chen smiled when he heard the fatty's words." Fatty, this is a treasure.”
The fat man turned his head to look at the coffin, ignoring Jiang Chen. He thought Old Jiang was joking.
She was still complaining to Jiang Chen in her heart, for he didn't take the good stuff and only chose the junk.
Jiang Chen shook his head and didn't explain further when he saw the fatty's expression of disbelief.
At this moment, the impatient fatty saw that Jiang Chen hadn't taken out anything useful, so he took off the mask on the corpse's face without thinking, revealing a withered face.
Before Fatty could do anything, Yingzi, who was beside him, was shocked. She hurriedly turned her back and did not dare to look at the corpse in the coffin.
Looking at Yingzi's frightened expression, Fatty swallowed nervously and said with his palms together,""Well, we were too curious and accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Land.”
"I'll lend you a few clothes to go back. Don't blame me if I offend you.”
"In the future, when we are rich, we will definitely build bridges and roads to improve the lives of the people.”
"I, Fatty Wang, will definitely learn to be a good person and do good deeds every day. I will be clear about love and hate and not forget my roots. I will have a firm stance and strong fighting spirit."
Old Hu patted Fatty's shoulder and said seriously,""Alright, enough with the jingle."
"Fatty, control your hands. Don't think about everything blindly.”
"If something really happens, no one can protect you.”
Old Hu was telling the truth. There were many instant-activated traps in the ancient tomb. If they accidentally touched them, it would be too late to save them.
" It's not Old Hu. Didn't Old Jiang also take something?" Hearing Old Hu's words, Fatty immediately wanted to say that Old Jiang had also taken something.
However, when he saw Old Hu frown and was about to say something, Fatty hurriedly changed his words." Okay, okay, okay. I know, I know. I'll just look. I won't touch it."”
Although he said he wouldn't touch it, Fatty's eyes weren't idle. He kept looking into the coffin.
"Alright, Old Hu, don't be so serious.”
"If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
"Fatty, put that mask away. That's a good thing.”
"Also, the good things buried with the tomb are basically in the hands of the tomb owner.”
Jiang Chen said after they had finished arguing with interest.
"Alright."
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Fatty looked as happy as a blooming flower.
She quickly put the mask into her bag as Jiang Chen had told her to. Then she took out the jade pendant the tomb owner was holding in his hands.
Under the light of the flashlight, the fat man found the jade pendant was crystal clear. He ran to Jiang Chen and Old Hu happily." Old Jiang, you're right."”
"Look, it's jade. Isn't it good?”
The fat man said excitedly as he extended the two jade pendants to Old Hu and Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at the " jade pendant " in Fatty's hand and knew it wasn't worth much.
However, Old Hu picked up a 'jade pendant' and sized it up. A smile appeared on his face." It's really something good!"”
At this moment!
Old Hu's expression suddenly froze.
Old Hu suddenly saw the candlelight in the southeast corner of the tomb, and it began to flicker!
Fatty and Yingzi also noticed that the candle flame was starting to become unstable.
The flame on the candle flickered, as if someone was blowing at the candle!
The next moment!
"Puff!"
The candle was instantly extinguished!
