Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 141 Three Corpses, Offering the King’s Treasure
"Let's not open the third coffin."

Jiang Hua shook his head. "If I'm not mistaken, these three coffins should all be fake. They are used by King Xian to deceive people."

"There are a total of ten bronze lamps in this tomb, which proves that there must be other hidden coffins."

"As for the coffins in plain sight, we opened two of them and found that they both contained great dangers. I think there is something fishy about the third coffin."

"So let's just leave it alone."

"The most important thing is to find the coffin hidden in the dark."

After hearing Jiang Hua's analysis, everyone nodded.

That does make sense.

The two coffins just now.

One of them was a bloody corpse.
The other one is a bug that can devour any temperature.

If an ordinary person were to encounter these two things, he would surely die.

Fortunately, they had Jiang Hua, otherwise it would be dangerous.

Suddenly the fat man asked in surprise: "Hey, what is this?"

Everyone turned their eyes towards him.

The fat man walked to the side of the bronze coffin.

Just now, the bronze coffin could not bear the force and fell to the ground from its hanging state.

At this moment, the bronze coffin actually smashed a hole in the ground.

Jiang Hua could clearly see that there was a pitch-black space inside the hole made by the bronze coffin.

Shirley Yang took out a signal stick from her backpack.

Then threw it in.

The signal stick fell and soon stopped.

Under the light of the signal stick, everyone can see clearly what is underground.

It turned out to be a very large coffin.

It is twice as big as this bronze coffin.

This underground coffin is about twenty meters high from the tomb chamber where Jiang Hua and others are located.

"If this bronze coffin hadn't fallen down, we wouldn't have known there was a coffin underground."

Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh.

Shirley Yang asked: "Jiang Hua, should we go down and take a look?"

Jiang Hua fell into deep thought.

He suddenly asked back: "Why is there only one coffin underground?"

“Is this a joint tomb?”

"Or is there a coffin somewhere else?"

Hearing Jiang Hua's question, everyone was stunned.

Shirley Yang said uncertainly: "Maybe this is a joint burial tomb?"

Jiang Hua shook his head again and said, "If it is a joint tomb, it is usually for a husband and wife."

"Only poor families like those with little money would bury all the dead together."

"King Xian was of an extremely noble status. He ordered hundreds of thousands of slaves to build this tomb, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be buried with others."

"So I'm sure that this is not the coffin of King Xian."

"That is to say, King Xian's coffin is still in a place we don't know."

There was a gleam of light in Jiang Hua's eyes.

After hearing his speculation.

Everyone felt that it made sense.

"Where is the coffin of King Xian?"

Jiang Hua did not answer, but turned his head and observed the tomb carefully.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked upwards.

I saw the iron chain that had just hung the bronze coffin fall from the stone wall above, revealing a dark hole.

Jiang Hua suddenly lit up.

"King Xian's coffin is right above our heads!"

Hearing his words, everyone raised their heads.

Everyone saw the dark hole.

"It's empty here." The fat man was surprised.

"There is a high possibility that King Xian's tomb is on it." Hu Bayi said excitedly.

Shirley Yang also showed a hint of joy.

But she became a little confused again.

"Why did King Xian build a three-story tomb?"

"Isn't this just because you have nothing to do?"

Jiang Hua looked at the Three Worlds Bridge, thinking deeply.

"If I'm not mistaken, King Xian used these three layers of tombs to replace his three lives!"

"Three lives, three worlds?" "Yes."

Jiang Hua nodded and said, "Look at this Three Lives Bridge. Since King Xian built it, he must have believed in the legend of Three Lives and Three Worlds."

"In ancient legends, if a person wants to become an immortal, he needs to go through three lifetimes of suffering. King Xian built these three tombs to tell the heavens that he has endured all these sufferings and it is time for him to become an immortal."

Shirley Yang frowned, "But what about the bodies that King Xian placed in these coffins?"

"This should be what King Xian found from all over the place. He specifically looked for corpses that had undergone torture and placed them here to represent his own three lives!"

"If I'm not mistaken."

"There are three bodies in the tomb below, representing the old, middle and young periods of the first generation of King Xian. The middle tomb we are in also has three bodies."

"Look at that stone coffin, it's short, it must represent the childhood, and this bronze coffin, it's full of blood, it represents the middle age. The pit coffin represents the old age."

"What about up there?" the fat man asked curiously.

Jiang Hua continued, "There should also be three corpses on it, replacing the last life of King Xian."

In this way, these ten bronze lamps can all be explained."

"Nine of the bronze lamps represent the first three lives of King Xian, and the last bronze lamp must be King Xian's own coffin!"

The fat man's eyes lit up.

"That means King Xian's coffin must be on top?"

"There's an eighty percent chance!"

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go up quickly?"

The fat man immediately became excited and quickly took out tools such as ropes from his backpack.

Hu Bayi also followed him and started to make arrangements.

Jiang Hua smiled and sighed, "If the bronze coffin hadn't suddenly fallen down just now, it would have been difficult for us to discover that this tomb chamber actually has three floors.

“That’s just one layer of it.”

The fat man threw a Flying Tiger Claw up.

It was firmly embedded in the hole.

"I'll go first."

The fat man climbed up the rope without saying a word.

"Fatty, be careful."

"Don't worry, Lao Hu, I will pay attention."

The fat man is now a warrior.

His physical strength has improved a lot.

Climbing up this rope is naturally easy.

After the fat man went up, everyone waited for a while below and soon heard the fat man's voice.

"Lao Hu, Jiang Hua, Commander Yang, please come up quickly. There's nothing going on up there."

Jiang Hua, Shirlev Yang and Lao Hu all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go up too."

Wait until everyone climbs up.

Observing this base room.

This is a stone chamber with various statues of gods placed inside and the surrounding walls covered with murals.

These murals are all painted.

Even after more than two thousand years, it is still bright and glorious.

The scenes depicted above are all of King Xian leading his troops to battle.

There is also a scene of King Xian sitting on the dragon throne, accepting the worship of his ministers.

Obviously he has already regarded himself as the emperor.

The fat man said disdainfully: "This old Prince Xian really thinks he is the emperor. If this were to be leaked out, the emperor of the Han Dynasty at that time would definitely lead his troops to destroy him."

Jiang Hua smiled and said: "The kings of these small border countries are like emperors in such small places. Over time, they call themselves emperors.

"Besides, in such a remote place, even the power of the imperial court cannot reach here, let alone let the common people file a complaint."

Shirley Yang also said: "That's right. At that time, it was basically impossible for the common people of the ancient Dian Kingdom to leave the ancient Dian Kingdom, let alone go to the capital."

"King Xian's power has sealed off this area."

"All the people need to build a fairy palace for him."

"Otherwise, how do you think such a magnificent fairy palace and this huge tomb of King Xian came about?"

Hu Bayi sighed, "At least hundreds of thousands of people died in the construction of Lingyun Palace and the Tomb of King Xian."

Everyone sighed for a while.

Start looking at other things in the stone chamber.

Around this stone chamber are placed various gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as many porcelain, bronze, pottery, and jade artifacts.

All valuable things are placed here.

There was excitement in the fat man's eyes.

"Haha, all of King Xian's treasures are here."

"Old Hu, we are going to get rich."
