Chapter 116: Get Insulted by a Chicken?!

The moment Jiang Nanxi fell, Liu Qingyan jumped into the black hole beneath the crystal coffin.

The two quickly disappeared.

When the others came to check, they saw that the board from the crystal coffin had reappeared.

Beneath the crystal coffin.

Not long after Jiang Nanxi fell, she felt the suction below disappear. She turned around and landed gracefully on the ground.

"Teacher Jiang, help!"

Just as Jiang Nanxi was about to check the situation nearby, she heard a familiar cry for help coming from above.

"..."

Jiang Nanxi reached out and caught Liu Qingyan, who was falling from above.

In the dim light, the man's handsome and refined face was particularly striking, though there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

What a pretentious person...

Jiang Nanxi curled her lips and said, "Teacher Liu is also a cultivator, why would she be afraid of such a small level?"

He said innocently, "Due to some unforeseen circumstances, my cultivation level hasn't fully recovered, so I can only rely on Teacher Jiang. After all, I paid for his bodyguard, so I can't let the money go to waste, can I?"

"Makes sense."

Jiang Nanxi glanced around and said, "There's a stone bed over there. You can go and rest there. I'll check the surrounding area."

Jiang Nanxi grinned at him, and Liu Qingyan's eyelids twitched inexplicably, giving him a bad feeling.

Before he could react, Jiang Nanxi threw Liu Qingyan over.

Liu Qingyan landed precisely on the stone bed not far away, and a series of soft cracking sounds came from beneath him, as if he had crushed something.

Liu Qingyan looked down.

His body pressed down on a skeleton, crushing its ribs, and now he was staring right into the skull's eyes.

Sudden.

The skull opened its mouth and spewed out a large cloud of green resentment that coiled towards him.

Liu Qingyan felt a weight on his back, as if a small mountain was pressing down on him, trying to push his entire body toward the skull.

If he hadn't been holding the stone bed up with all his might, he probably would have kissed that disgusting skull.

This woman...

Really...

A hint of helplessness flashed deep within her cool, phoenix-like eyes.

Liu Qingyan raised his fist expressionlessly and smashed the skull on the bed to pieces, dissipating all the resentment that had gathered on it.

He sat up and looked at Jiang Nanxi.

Jiang Nanxi was standing in front of a stone wall, on which were carved many rough scenes of picking up scraps, and some crooked Han Dynasty characters.

"The Corpse King's Skeleton Array? What is this?"

Jiang Nanxi's muttering came over the phone.

Liu Qingyan stood up, dusted off his coat, and said, "The Skeleton Array is also called the Fire Sin Array. The principle is to first make a person die tragically, and then use the deceased's bones to reconstruct a fake body and place it in the tomb. You can also understand it as a substitute array."

The purpose was to bury the fake body in the coffin in the main burial chamber to confuse tomb robbers. The fake body died tragically and was filled with resentment. If anyone touched the corpse, they would be afflicted by the resentment and die from the ghostly aura.

Even if someone finds a way to eliminate the fake body, the real tomb owner will not be harmed; it's primarily a cruel formation used to protect the true corpse.

"What is the Corpse King's Skeleton Array, and how is it different from an ordinary skeleton array?"

“I’ve only ever heard of the Corpse Array, not the Corpse King Corpse Array. I guess Wei Ling came up with it himself.” Jiang Nanxi said, pointing to the text on the stone wall. “It says that Wei Ling sought the way to immortality and used his life’s evil arts to set up the Corpse King Corpse Array in the tomb.”

The person who carved these words on the stone wall is the skeleton on this stone bed. He was the mechanic who built this tomb and was imprisoned here to die after completing it.

Liu Qingyan walked over and took a look, somewhat surprised, "This Wei Ling is quite bold. In order to achieve immortality, he directly refined himself into an immortal and indestructible corpse king, wanting to transcend the six realms."

The zombie king he aspires to be is probably the legendary Undying Bone, a type of zombie that cannot be easily created.

Even with Wei Ling's thorough preparations, a thousand years have passed, and certain conditions still need to be met for him to become an immortal, indestructible being upon awakening.

The craftsman carved only a few words on the wall. Apart from explaining that Wei Ling had set up the Corpse King's Skeleton Array in order to refine himself into a Corpse King, there was only one sentence.

"The phoenix breathes fire, the corpse fire never dies out, the icy purgatory is my final destination!"

Jiang Nanxi turned to look at Liu Qingyan, "What does this mean? Are these the conditions for becoming an incorruptible bone?"

Liu Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "When the Undying Bone is born, millions of corpses lie in wait, and rivers of blood flow. To become such a zombie, one needs extremely heavy blood energy and yin energy, and must be able to withstand the beating of nine layers of lightning tribulation."

The three conditions in this statement are presumably intended to enhance the zombie's blood and yin energy, and also to allow Wei Ling to temper his body after awakening. If he can withstand the ninefold lightning tribulation, he will successfully become an incorruptible corpse king, as they call him.

Jiang Nanxi frowned and said, "Wei Ling set up the Corpse King's Remains Array in the tomb, probably to prevent tomb robbers from damaging his true body and affecting his transformation into the Corpse King. In other words, the corpse in the coffin in the main burial chamber is fake. So where is his true body?"

She had barely finished speaking, and before Liu Qingyan could reply, the two heard the sound of a mechanism turning on the other wall.

The two turned to look over.

Then they saw a stone door open in the rock wall, and a rooster stood outside crowing at them.

"Coo coo coo, coo coo coo coo coo coo." I'm here to save you, come out quickly!
Liu Qingyan raised an eyebrow and said with amusement, "Your chicken is quite useful at crucial moments."

Jiang Nanxi kicked him directly, "This is a phoenix in my family, you're the chicken!"

Liu Qingyan: "..."

Jiang Nanxi checked the stone chamber but found no further clues, so she left.

Liu Qingyan walked beside her.

She was holding a chicken, and one of the chickens was looking at Liu Qingyan with hostility, clearly understanding what he had just said.

Liu Qingyan thought for a moment, then took out a bag of pickled boneless chicken feet snacks from the pocket of her windbreaker and handed it to it, saying, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you."

The rooster had never seen anything like it before, but it saw a picture on a snack packaging bag, and the chicken feet printed on it looked a lot like its own.

It was silent for a moment, then raised its wing and gave Liu Qingyan the middle finger. "Get lost!"

Liu Qingyan was shocked. "Teacher Jiang, your chicken can talk! Did you hear that?!"

The rooster: "Idiot."

Liu Qingyan:! ! !

Jiang Nanxi: !!!
No, you can actually speak human language?!
The rooster knew all the mechanisms in the tomb and quickly led them back to the underground palace, where they discovered that the rooster had dealt with all the frozen corpses.

Following the original plan, the group entered the secret passage and continued towards the main tomb chamber.

This time, there were no further incidents. The ice cave where the bodies were buried was empty; there wasn't a single frozen corpse left. They successfully reached the main burial chamber.

The main burial chamber door was open, and the excited voices of two tomb raiders could be heard from inside.

"We've finally figured out a way to break the Yellow Intestine Coffin Casing! We can get the Four Divine Beasts Jade Door Knocker by opening the coffin!"

"We've struck gold, boss! After making this much money, we can retire abroad!"

When Jiang Nanxi saw the two tomb raiders about to open the coffin, she quickly said, "You can't open the coffin! It's not Wei Ling's body inside, but a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost!"

This thousand-year-old vengeful ghost's cultivation is comparable to a ghost king; its ghostly aura alone can corrode you into bones! If you dare open the coffin, everyone here will die!
