Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 467 If you dare to show yourself, I'll destroy you!

Wu Xie was both embarrassed and frustrated by the scolding. It wasn't because he was a jinx; it was mainly because he had read his grandfather's tomb raiding notes, which detailed the exploration of the Blood Corpse Tomb at Biaozi Ridge, where the tomb was also covered in blood.

Gao Dongxu smiled and glanced at Wu Xie, who looked sullen and was still muttering to himself, and said to Wu Sansheng, "First, locate the tomb. After we finish eating, we'll dig it up."

"Okay." Wu Sansheng
Pan Zi didn't stop and shoveled a few more times. Then he handed the shovel heads to Wu Sansheng. Wu Sansheng smelled each shovel head and started connecting the shovel holes on the ground with a trowel. Gao Dongxu stood aside and watched them busy positioning. In a short while, Wu Sansheng drew the approximate outline of the ancient tomb on the ground.

Specialization is key; indeed, for accurate blood vessel location, we still need professionals like Wu Sansheng.

Generally speaking, the tomb below will definitely look the same as the one above, and very few tomb raiders would make a mistake.

"Young Master Gao, there's a problem—" Wu Sansheng looked at the drawn outline and felt something was very wrong. He frowned and said to Gao Dongxu.

"What's wrong?" Gao Dongxu asked. Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling also looked at Wu Sansheng curiously.

"In my experience, most Warring States period tombs do not have underground palaces, but this one clearly does, and it even has a brick roof, which is really unusual."

As he spoke, Wu Sansheng used his fingers to measure and finally determined the basic location of the coffin. He said, "There's a brick ceiling below, and I can't drive the shovel down. I can only mark the approximate location based on my experience. This underground palace is too strange. I can't determine where the bricks are thin. I can only follow the experience of Song Dynasty tombs and try to break into the back wall first. If that doesn't work, we'll have to start over."

"Okay, let's eat first, and then we'll dig together," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, without rushing to start digging.

Wu Sansheng nodded and invited Pan Zi to eat. The group ate a generous amount of individual soldier rations and various military canned goods. Although the taste was not as good as what they were made in restaurants, everyone ate with great relish.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, Leng Feng and the others began digging a tunnel under Wu Sansheng's command.

With so many people working together, the speed was incredibly fast. The whirlwind shovels flew up and down, descending five or six meters in no time. Since they were in the middle of nowhere, there was no need to prepare the soil; they simply turned the mud over and moved it outside. A moment later, Panzi shouted from below, "Found the tomb entrance!"

Gao Dongxu and Wu Sansheng, along with a few others, grabbed the ropes and went down to the bottom. They saw that Pan Zi and his men had dug a large hole at the bottom of the tunnel and cleared out a large brick wall.

Just then, Zhang Qiling saw Pan Zi trying to pry open the brick wall with a single-edged shovel, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Don't touch anything."

Zhang Qiling's gaze was extremely sharp, causing Pan Zi to frown slightly. Wu Sansheng, who was standing next to him, also frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Qiling stretched out two fingers and placed them on the wall, feeling along the cracks between the bricks. He felt for a long time before stopping and said, "There's a security layer inside. When moving it, all the bricks must be taken outwards, not pushed inwards, and definitely not smashed!"

Panzi touched the wall and said, "How is that possible? There's not even a crack. How could we possibly get these bricks out?"

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but instead touched a brick and suddenly pulled it out of the wall. This mud brick was so sturdy that it took an incredible amount of strength to pull it out of the wall with just two fingers. Those two fingers were truly extraordinary.

"The Fathom-Slaying Finger truly lives up to its name!" Gao Dongxu exclaimed with a smile, looking at Zhang Qiling's two fingers.

The others were also shocked by Zhang Qiling's actions. When Gao Dongxu mentioned the name, they all showed curious expressions. However, Gao Dongxu did not explain. Only Wu Sansheng narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Qiling and Gao Dongxu exchanged a glance, then carefully placed the brick on the ground without saying a word. They pointed behind the brick, and the others shone their flashlights over it, revealing a dark red wax wall.

Zhang Qiling said, "This wall is full of vanadium acid used in alchemy. If it is broken, these strong organic acids will be poured on us instantly, and we will be burned to the skin."

Wu Xie swallowed hard, as if he had just thought of something, and said with lingering fear, "That was really too insidious."

Zhang Qiling said calmly, "It was originally designed for theft prevention—"

Wu Xie's lips twitched a few times as he watched Zhang Qiling take out a syringe and a plastic tube from his bag. He connected the tube to the syringe and then put the other end into the deep pit.

Then he took out a lighter and heated the needle until it was red-hot. Just as he was about to carefully insert it into the wax wall, Gao Dongxu took out two glass bottles of glucose from his bag, inserted the other end of the tube into the bottles, and smiled at Zhang Qiling, saying, "Don't waste them, bring them along, they might come in handy."

Zhang Qiling nodded, inserted the red-hot needle into the wax wall, and the red vanadium acid flowed from the other end of the tube into the bottle.

Once the two bottles were full, the dark red wax wall turned white, indicating that everything inside had been drained. Zhang Qiling said, "All done!"

Panzi, Erpang, and Fugui immediately started moving bricks. Soon, all the bricks at the entrance of the tomb were cleared away. Wu Sansheng threw more than a dozen glow sticks into the cave and used them to observe the environment inside the tomb passage.

After ventilating the area for a while, everyone checked their equipment, put on masks and goggles, and turned on their high-powered flashlights. Pan Zi and Wu Sansheng led the way, and the rest of the group went down into the tomb one by one.

Eleven powerful flashlights illuminated the entire tomb. Around the tomb were eight eternal lamps, which had been extinguished for an unknown period of time. In the center of the tomb stood a bronze four-legged square cauldron, over 11 meters tall, with the sun, moon, and stars engraved on its top. To the south of the tomb chamber, directly opposite Gao Dongxu and his group, was a stone coffin. Behind the coffin was a passageway that seemed to lead downwards, its destination unknown.

Wu Sansheng stepped forward to examine the inscriptions on the altar where the bronze cauldron was placed, hoping to learn something. He also called Wu Xie to his side to examine it together. Gao Dongxu instructed Fugui and the other three to add some oil to the eternal lamp and light it.

The eternal lamp was lit, making the entire tomb chamber even brighter.

At some point, Pan Zi climbed onto the cauldron and shouted, "Young Master Gao, Third Master, there's treasure here!"

Gao Dongxu naturally knew that the bronze cauldron contained many sacrificial treasures, which were all on his list of treasures to plunder.

Wu Sansheng, Wu Xie, and Erpang climbed up and saw a headless mummified corpse in the cauldron. Its clothes were rotten. There were some jade ornaments on the corpse. Pan Zi didn't stand on ceremony and took them directly into his hands.

“This must be the torso of a person who was sacrificed after the human sacrifice. They cut off the head to offer as a sacrifice to the heavens, and then put the body here to sacrifice to others. These must be prisoners of war. Slaves wouldn’t have jewelry on their hands,” Wu Sansheng analyzed.

Pan Zi jumped into the cauldron to see what else was inside. Zhang Qiling tried to stop him, but it was too late. He looked back at the stone coffin and thankfully there was no reaction.

Wu Sansheng then yelled, "You brat, this cauldron is for people to place offerings during sacrifices. Do you want to be a sacrifice yourself?"

Pan Zi chuckled, "Third Master, there are quite a few good things down here..." As he spoke, he pulled out a large jade bottle from inside. "Look, let's turn this cauldron over and see what else is there?"

"Stop fooling around, come out now!" Wu Sansheng's expression changed slightly as he scolded. He also glanced at Gao Dongxu's expression and, finding that he wasn't angry, looked at Zhang Qiling again. He saw that Zhang Qiling's face had turned pale and his eyes were fixed on the stone coffin, so he knew that something might have happened.

Just then, everyone heard a "clucking" sound. Everyone turned to look for the source, and a chill ran down their spines. The sound wasn't coming from the coffin; it was coming from Zhang Qiling.

Seeing Zhang Qiling's terrifying expression, Wu Sansheng pulled Pan Zi out.

Suddenly, Zhang Qiling fell silent. The tomb was completely quiet. After an unknown amount of time, with a bang, the coffin lid suddenly flipped upwards and began to shake violently.

Then a sinister, chilling sound came from the stone coffin, a sound that resembled the croaking of a frog.

Everyone was horrified. Ru Xin and Ru Qing turned pale, their eyes wide, and they quickly drew their twin guns, aiming them at the stone coffin.

Although Leng Feng and the other three were also covered in cold sweat and their minds were in turmoil, they had guns in their hands and were not as frightened as Wu Xie and Pan Zi, who collapsed to the ground.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Qiling's face turned extremely pale. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the coffin. Wu Xie, Wu Sansheng, and Pan Zi followed suit, all kneeling and kowtowing.

Leng Feng and his men gripped their pistols, pointed them at the stone coffin, and looked at Gao Dongxu, who had been standing there calmly with a slight frown and bright eyes, as if they wanted to ask, "Should we kneel down too?"

At this moment, Zhang Qiling raised his head and let out a series of strange noises, as if chanting some kind of incantation. Wu Sansheng broke out in a cold sweat and whispered, "You're not talking to it, are you?"

The stone coffin trembled incessantly, and black smoke billowed out continuously, as if the coffin lid could no longer hold it down.

Gao Dongxu sneered, and a Three Pure Bell appeared in his hand. He channeled spiritual energy into it and gently shook it.

"Ding-a-ling—Ding-a-ling—"

As the saying goes, "When the bell rings, even gods and ghosts revere it." The sound of the Three Pure Ones Bell can terrify demons, ghosts, and zombies.

Under the wide-eyed gazes of the two women and Leng Feng, as the Sanqing Bell rang, the entire stone coffin began to shake more violently, the black mist all retreated into the stone coffin, and the croaking of the frogs became more shrill.

Zhang Qiling suddenly turned around, his eyes wide as he stared at the expressionless man shaking the Three Pure Ones Bell, slowly walking towards the stone coffin under the reverent gazes of Wu Xie, Wu Sansheng, Pan Zi, and the others.

"No—" Zhang Qiling warned, his expression changing.

Sure enough, the next moment the stone coffin lid flew into the air with a bang, and to everyone's horror, the stone coffin lid fell back down with a loud crash.

"If you dare to come out, I'll wipe you out—" Gao Dongxu, who had already decided to leave no stone unturned, naturally wouldn't give up on the bronze cauldron just because of this threat. He threatened coldly while ringing a bell, and in his other hand, he held the Thunder Commander's Seal.

As spiritual energy was inputted, crackling purple sparks appeared.

At this moment, everyone behind them was dumbfounded, especially when they saw the stone coffin, which had been shaking, suddenly become completely still. Everyone swallowed hard, looking at Gao Dongxu, who was holding a bell in one hand and a seal in the other, as if he were a god, threatening the monster in the stone coffin with unparalleled domineering power.

The monster, which had been incredibly ferocious just moments before, was now as docile as a quail, completely still.
