"Rise!"
Hu Bayi and Kaixuan Fatty shouted at the same time, and the shovel that was used to pry the coffin into the coffin suddenly exerted force.
Bang--
A coffin nail flew out and bounced onto the ground.
"All the coffin nails have been pried open.”
Hu Bayi wiped the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he felt a little uneasy.
After working so hard for so long, whether he could earn a lot today would all depend on this coffin.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Chuan nodded and walked towards the coffin.
His slender, snow-white palm rested on the edge of the coffin lid and pushed it back casually.
Kachak--
The bone-chilling sound of friction echoed throughout the tomb.
The thick and ancient coffin lid was pushed open halfway, leaning against the edge of the tail, revealing the interior of the coffin.
Everyone stuck their heads out at the same time and looked down.
A tall and sturdy dried corpse lay inside. All that was left of his body was dried purple skin wrapped around his bones.
He was wearing a crown, a red robe embroidered with golden threads with blue edges, and a pair of cloud-treading boots. His hands were folded in front of his chest.
It was obvious that he had a high position when he was alive!
Ying Zi glanced at him and her face turned pale. She quietly moved behind Qin Chuan.
Although she was usually carefree and passionate, she was afraid of dead bodies and ghost legends.
Qin Chuan didn't have the time to pay attention to her. His gaze kept sizing up the corpse.
A moment later, he put on a pair of gloves and reached into the coffin. Starting from the head of the dried corpse, he carefully groped down.
Along the way, Qin Chuan turned a blind eye to the dazzling array of perfectly preserved porcelain and jade in the coffin.
This strange scene also made Hu Ba and the other two extremely shocked.
"This…"
Kaixuan was speechless." What is Godfather Qin doing?" he mumbled." Could he have some special fetish? He's examining the corpse…"
Before he could finish his sentence, his calf was kicked. Yingzi hid behind Qin Chuan and glared at him fiercely.
Kaixuan was speechless. He quickly shut his mouth and cursed in his heart,""This hasn't even started yet, and you're already siding with outsiders like this. What will happen in the future?”
While the two of them were fighting, Qin Chuan had also ended his fumbling.
How could there be none?
Qin Chuan was puzzled as his brows gradually furrowed.
After careful examination, he found nothing like the Blood Corpse Pill on the corpse.
However, this undoubtedly made him even more confused. After all, this dried corpse was at least 700 to 800 years old, while the bloody corpse in the Dart Ridge was less than 100 years old.
Unless…
Qin Chuan's mind flashed as he thought of a possibility.
After pondering for a while, he began to pick up the high-quality funerary objects in the coffin. There were porcelain and jade pieces one after another, and there were even a few blue-and-white porcelain pieces from the Northern Song Dynasty. Judging from the color, they were worth at least 100,000 yuan.
Every time Qin Chuan took out an item, Hu Ba would turn his head to look at the candle in the southeast corner. He was tense the entire time.
It was only until Qin Chuan had basically emptied the coffins of all the high-quality burial items, leaving behind only a few dull-colored burial items and a pair of jade stones in the hands of the mummified corpse.
This pair of jade stones was emerald green in color and carved into the shape of two moths that looked like butterflies but were not butterflies. They looked extremely magical.
"Fatty, are your hands itching?"
Qin Chuan retracted his hands and looked at the fervent Fatty Kaixuan. He chuckled and said,"Gold has a price and jade is priceless. This pair of jade will let you have a taste of it.”
"This…"
Kaixuan rubbed his sweat-soaked hands and laughed dryly." How can I…"
"Since Godfather Qin said so, then I won't be polite.”
He reached into the coffin with both hands and forcefully pried open the hands of the dried corpse, directly snatching the pair of jade stones out.
Qin Chuan watched coldly from the side.
However, the moment Kaixuan's hands touched the dried corpse, he keenly sensed it.
This deathly silent tomb suddenly gave off an inexplicable sense of strangeness.
It seemed that something bad was about to happen.
Qin Chuan only felt the corner of his eyes darken. The candle in the southeast corner had been extinguished silently.
This strange scene was also noticed by the few people who were tense throughout the entire process.
Kaixuan's hands and feet trembled, and the jade in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Old Hu, what's going on?" he asked with a sad face. Is there a problem with the quality of the candles you bought?”
"This... That's not possible. I've checked it three times.”
Hu Ba's face twitched. This was the first time he had touched gold and didn't know what to do.
Yingzi raised her eyebrows and took a few steps closer to Qin Chuan.
"Don't panic. Old Hu, go and light another candle.”
Qin Chuan's gaze was still on the corpse as he calmly replied,"Fatty, keep touching. Take them all out.”
"This... Alright then."
Hu Bayi wanted to retreat according to the ancestral teachings, but since the person in charge had spoken, he could only come to the southeast corner and light another one.
Bright yellow candlelight lit up and quietly burned in the ancient tomb, making Hu Bayi feel much more at ease.
He walked back and said in an uncertain tone," The wind must have picked up just now. Should we continue, or…"
Before he could finish his sentence, all the hair on his body suddenly stood on end. A cold air shot from his tailbone to the top of his head, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The four of them turned to look at him at the same time. Their faces were covered in a layer of green light, as if they were dead people. It was terrifying and strange.
"You guys…"
Hu Bayi subconsciously took a few steps back, his tongue knotted.
Not only the four of them, but everything around the tomb was also covered in a faint layer of hazy green light.
Hu Bayi turned his head abruptly, and his expression changed drastically.
Only to see.
In the southeast corner, the originally bright yellow and warm light had unknowingly turned into a bunch of green flames. The green candlelight shone on one's spine and gave off a chill.
"This…"
Hu Ba Yi sucked in a breath of cold air, his body as stiff as steel.
"Old Hu, why did your candle change color? Did you buy a fake product?”
Kaixuan's face turned green, and he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Coupled with the strange green color on his face, he looked like a living evil ghost.
This bizarre scene caused Yingzi to explode in anger. Without saying a word, she moved closer to Qin Chuan.
"I…"
Hu Ba opened his mouth and said dryly,""Godfather Qin, what should we do now?"
"Fatty, continue!"
Qin Chuan turned his head and continued to stare at the corpse in the coffin.
"Ah…"
Kaixuan was at a loss, unable to stand still.
"What are you panicking for? Aren't I still here?”Qin Chuan's tone was as calm as ever.
At this moment, he could already see a layer of thin red hair growing on the dried purple skin of the corpse.
Because it wasn't obvious yet, and because of the special situation at the moment, the light wasn't clear, the others actually didn't notice it.
"Alright, Godfather Qin, will I be alright?”
Kaixuan braced himself and reached out to touch the porcelain in the coffin.
With each piece he took out, the fear in his heart deepened. At this moment, these porcelain were no longer treasures in his eyes. They were still shocking amounts of money.
Qin Chuan watched coldly from the side the entire time, until the red hair on the dried corpse's body began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
