"Boss, don't rush. Look at the big cauldron inside, there are so many treasures. Aren't you going to take them? Are you stupid?"
Fatty eyed the big cauldron, looking like he was about to drool.
"You're the one who's stupid. Remember the zombies from before? Do you still want to take them?"
Zhang Tian said coldly. Fatty instantly understood. He looked at the ancient coffin in front of them.
"Boss, you mean?"
"That's right, let's leave quickly and go to the previous tomb chamber. We'll skip this one."
After Zhang Tian finished speaking, Fatty also gave up the idea of going further in.
After all, the previous tomb chamber had more things and more treasures. Why bother with this place?
"There's so much Yin energy here. Boss, how many days can your blood last?"
Hu Bayi suddenly spoke.
Zhang Tian seemed to have thought of something. That's right, he had corpse energy protection, what was there to be afraid of?
However, upon further reflection, his corpse energy was an external one, and it was uncertain whether it would conflict with the owner of this tomb.
"Three days."
With that, Zhang Tian led the two of them out of the side tomb chamber.
As soon as Zhang Tian left, the coffin began to shake.
Fortunately, after a few shakes, it returned to its original state.
It seemed to be expressing dissatisfaction with Zhang Tian.
They arrived at the tomb chamber they had just seen.
Huge protectors were carved around.
And below, there was a coffin.
"It's a bronze coffin. Fatty, don't touch anything."
Zhang Tian said softly as he saw Fatty already in front of the coffin.
Fatty nodded and quickly withdrew his hand.
Looking at the ground again.
Everyone found that there were bottles and jars scattered on the ground, along with a large pile of ancient items.
It was a paradise for tomb raiders.
Hu Bayi was also shocked.
Especially seeing so many items from the Warring States period, his eyes could barely stay open.
Fatty picked up a piece of jade from the ground and became excited.
"Boss, look quickly, is this jade worth a lot of money?"
Fatty held the red jade and spoke excitedly.
"This is a burial blood jade. It's not worth much. It's worn by burial maids. No one will buy things that dead people wore. At most, it's worth three thousand yuan."
Zhang Tian, with his discerning eye, identified it as trash.
"What? Impossible. This is jade. Regardless, I'm taking it."
Fatty said, carefully tucking the jade into his waist.
In his eyes, jade was more valuable than anything else.
"Alas, shortsighted."
Zhang Tian sighed in his heart.
The bottles and jars on the ground, which one wasn't worth more than his jade?
Moreover, the bottles and jars below were all cultural relics. Most of them were undamaged, so they were very valuable.
"These jars and burial items, you two pick one or two, and then we'll hide these things."
"We won't take them."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty looked confused.
"Why hide them? Isn't it good to take everything?"
Fatty was a little excited. These items were the bridge to his fortune.
"Did you forget what we said before we came?"
Zhang Tian said.
Fatty and Hu Bayi were stunned for a moment, and they nodded seriously.
They didn't say any more.
Fatty took a piece of jade and a gold bowl.
In his opinion, these were the most valuable items.
This made Zhang Tian speechless, taking the two least valuable items.
Hu Bayi, on the other hand, was a bit more reliable.
Relying on his intuition, he took a small cauldron and a small pendant.
The cauldron was valuable, the pendant was not.
Zhang Tian didn't take anything, but his gaze was fixed on the coffin.
There was nothing he wanted here.
Most of them were cultural relics and antiques. Zhang Tian was looking for divine artifacts.
After the two of them took their items, they collected the cultural relics from the ground and hid them behind the stone statues, covering them with bricks.
Once they were sure it was safe, they clapped their hands.
"Well, Uncle Fatty is on the job. Boss, you can rest assured. It's all done!"
Fatty happily came to Zhang Tian.
With treasures in hand, how could he not be happy?
Hu Bayi's mood also improved considerably.
Because Zhang Tian had indeed kept his promise, and they had only taken what they needed.
"You want to open the coffin?"
Hu Bayi asked softly, holding his compass.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly.
"Since I'm here, I naturally won't leave empty-handed."
Zhang Tian said, extending his hand.
"Fatty, get the candles."
With that, Fatty rummaged through his backpack.
"Uh, Boss, I couldn't find white candles. Is red okay?"
Fatty took out a red candle.
Zhang Tian gasped.
What, are you trying to marry the tomb owner?
"You wish!"
"Fortunately, I have self-awareness."
Zhang Tian had guessed that Fatty would be unreliable. He rummaged through his backpack and took out a white candle as thick as his thumb.
"Boss, you're so generous. This candle must cost at least a dime each."
Fatty looked at the candle, feeling a pang of heartache.
"A person lights a candle, a ghost blows it out."
"No offense intended, please forgive me."
Zhang Tian muttered to himself. He held the candle and lit it in the southeast corner.
The flame illuminated the entire tomb chamber.
"Boss, what is this?"
Fatty looked at the candle, still somewhat curious.
Zhang Tian remained silent, his gaze fixed on the candle.
It was Hu Bayi who explained for Zhang Tian.
"A person lights a candle, a ghost blows it out. Legend has it that people have three oil lamps, one on their head and two on their shoulders."
"The Mo Jin school of tomb raiders has a tradition of lighting a candle in the southeast corner, as if it's an agreement between the dead. If the candle goes out, don't touch the gold."
Hu Bayi said. He hadn't expected Zhang Tian to be so meticulous.
If he were to enter a tomb, he would definitely forget this.
Zhang Tian looked at the candle.
The light did not change, and it was still burning.
Zhang Tian's heart leaped with joy.
"Could it be that the blood I drank is working? The tomb owner recognizes me as one of the dead?"
Zhang Tian thought to himself, but without a doubt.
This coffin could be opened!
"Fatty, open the coffin."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, no longer hesitating.
Fatty's heart pounded with excitement.
He looked as thrilled as could be.
"Uncle Fatty is coming!"
With that, Fatty took out a crowbar from his bag and pried at the coffin.
Fatty was actually somewhat useful, for instance, with heavy lifting, he could do it.
Soon, the coffin made a creaking sound.
Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi started helping to push the coffin.
With a click, the coffin was opened.
The contents were exposed to the three of them.
Zhang Tian glanced at the candle again.
It was still the same.
Fatty shone his light inside.
"Holy crap, a man?"
Seeing the shriveled corpse, Fatty seemed somewhat disappointed.
"What are you thinking, Fatty? You're something else."
Hu Bayi felt a bit embarrassed, not knowing why.
Zhang Tian's gaze, however, was fixed on the inside of the coffin.
It was a bronze coffin.
And on the corpse's chest, a golden-hilted ancient saber was still inserted.
The ancient saber, after a thousand years, still looked sharp, and there were inscriptions on it.
"Divine artifact!"
Seeing this, Zhang Tian's heart trembled.
His gaze simultaneously shifted to other places.
Beside the corpse were some gold and silver treasures.
Gold ingots and the like, but Zhang Tian's attention was locked onto a jade pendant.
"Preaching Jade Pendant: Can impart one cultivation technique!"
A voice sounded in his mind, and Zhang Tian's heart skipped a beat. He had found what he was looking for.
But the saber and the person before him were clearly extraordinary.
Coupled with the Four Heavenly Kings beside him, Zhang Tian felt something was unusual.
These Four Heavenly Kings seemed not to be protecting the deceased, but rather guarding and suppressing them!
