Chapter 472 The Mysterious Young Master Gao

After fifty cycles of breathing exercises, the Qilin in his mouth had completely melted away.

Gao Dongxu slowly opened his eyes. He could see further and more clearly, and all the colors became more vibrant.

He could clearly hear the rustling of the corpse beetles, and what excited him even more was that he could also hear the breathing of Iron-Faced Man hidden in the coffin inside the trunk of the Nine-Headed Cypress.

The spiritual energy had already given him eyesight and hearing far beyond that of ordinary people, and now, the Qilin Rest had further enhanced his eyesight and hearing.

As for whether there are any other changes or enhancements in the body, they have not yet manifested immediately.

However, it is certain that he is now also immune to all poisons, and his blood has become the same Qilin blood as Zhang Qiling's. Although it cannot grant immortality, it also has the miraculous effects of detoxification and insect repellent.

Fortunately, Gao Dongxu still has a chance to achieve near-immortality like Zhang Qiling, which is to obtain the Hidden Sea Flower.

The Zhang family members were lured by the Queen Mother of the West with the promise of immortality and consumed the Corpse Beetle Pill. The so-called Earth Qilin Blood was actually obtained by consuming the even rarer and older Earth Qilin Blood, which was used to neutralize the Corpse Beetle Pill in the Zhang family members' bodies.

However, whether it was a stroke of luck or misfortune for the Zhang family, the poison of the Corpse Beetle King actually changed the genes of the Zhang family members. Not only could they live for one or two hundred years, or even longer, but their blood was also immune to all poisons, could repel insects and ward off evil spirits, and would not turn into corpses.

Of course, only members of the Zhang family with pure bloodlines will not turn into zombies. Those with impure bloodlines will still turn into zombies, which is called divine intervention. They can only control their condition by drinking water from the settlement that has been irradiated by meteorite copper.

Only Zhang Qiling truly possesses the ability to achieve near-immortality. After Gao Dongxu carefully studied the original text, he discovered that in order to achieve Zhang Qiling's immortality, in addition to having Qilin blood, the most important condition is the Hidden Sea Flower.

Therefore, Gao Dongxu set a trap for Zhang Qiling. Regardless of whether Zhang Qiling would use the Hidden Sea Flower to exchange for information, Gao Dongxu would not let the Hidden Sea Flower go. This is because the Hidden Sea Flower not only prolongs life but also enhances one's strength.

However, the reason why the Tibetan sea flower can bring longevity is mainly because it contains the blood of the Queen Mother of the West. Therefore, the Tibetan sea flower also contains the poison of the corpse beetle king, although the amount of toxin is very small, but eating too much can still cause poisoning.

The Qilin Rest can cure both corpse poison and corpse beetle poison, thus forming a perfect closed loop for Zhang Qiling's immortality!

After quickly thinking it through in his mind, Gao Dongxu's lips curled up slightly. He looked at Zhang Qiling, who was staring at him expressionlessly, and then at Wu Xie, who was looking at him with awe and furrowed brows.

If I want to get the Hidden Sea Flower, it will probably end up falling to Wu Xie.

Therefore, Gao Dongxu needs to get the plot back on track, which he has already messed up.

Under the silent, awe-inspiring, and tense gazes of everyone, Gao Dongxu stood up, walked to the jade bed, and looked at the young female corpse lying there.

The body was draped in white gauze, with her eyes closed and her face serene. She even looked somewhat beautiful, and there was no sign of decay on her body. If you didn't look closely, you would think she was just sleeping.

Lying to one side was a blue-eyed fox, wearing a bronze mask with a fox face, and holding a purple-gold box in its hand.

Everyone watched intently as Gao Dongxu reached out and helped the beautiful female corpse up.

As the body changed position, the woman's mouth suddenly opened, and there seemed to be something inside, which looked like a key.

Gao Dongxu smiled, straightened the woman's head, and said softly, "Excuse me."

Then he reached out and pinched her neck, and three poisoned needles shot out from the woman's neck.

Everyone was startled, except for Zhang Qiling, Wu Sansheng, and A Ning, who stared intently at Gao Dongxu, who was performing alone.

Gao Dongxu reached out and pressed down on her cheeks. The female corpse's red lips parted slightly, revealing a key inlaid with emerald beads under her tongue. He inserted two fingers into her mouth, pinched the key, took it out, and then pulled hard, severing the silk thread connecting the hidden weapon mechanism. Holding the key, he ignored the female corpse who had fallen back down.

Everyone looked curiously at the key in Gao Dongxu's hand. It was a copper key inlaid with a bead, which was dark green.

However, just as everyone was wondering what was so special about this key that made a big shot like Gao Dongxu value it so much, Fatty Wang suddenly exclaimed, "Look at the female corpse—"

Everyone looked at the female corpse, only to see that it suddenly became grotesque, which sent chills down their spines and greatly alarmed them, who thought it was about to turn into a zombie.

However, the woman's face quickly shriveled up like a spoiled orange, and an indescribable sound came from her throat. In just a few seconds, right before everyone's eyes, she went from a living beauty to a dried-up corpse, her withered body constantly shrinking.

While everyone was still in shock, Gao Dongxu reached out and picked up the purple-gold box that the blue-eyed fox was holding. It was very heavy and looked a bit like the silver-rimmed box inside the eight-layered treasure box.

Under the numb gazes of the crowd, Gao Dongxu took the key and opened the purple-gold box.

However, several golden rollers popped out from one side of the purple-gold box, each roller bearing ancient characters.

Gao Dongxu, holding the purple-gold box, looked at Wu Xie and said, "Wu Xie, come here—"

Wu Xie was taken aback, ignoring the signals from the others, and scurried up the altar to Gao Dongxu's side, smiling as he said, "Young Master Gao, what are your orders—"

Gao Dongxu smiled and handed the purple-gold box to Wu Xie. Wu Xie stared wide-eyed at the ancient characters on the cylinder. Gao Dongxu whispered in his ear, "02200059".

Wu Xie, who was initially frowning and confused, immediately brightened up and started spinning the roller.

"Click——"

The purple-gold box opens automatically.

Wu Xie very considerately handed it to Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu smiled as he watched Wu Xie chuckle, then took the purple-gold box and first opened the lid in a direction where no one was around, just in case there were any hidden weapons. After confirming there was no danger, he and Wu Xie, who was blinking his curious eyes, began to look at the contents of the box.

Inside the box that should have held the Ghost Seal was a beautiful yet eerie bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows.

Gao Dongxu took out the snake-browed bronze fish, played with it in his hand for a few moments, and then tossed it to Wu Xie with a smile.

"It's yours—"

"what?"

Wu Xie was stunned at first, then hurriedly caught the snake-browed bronze fish, looking at it in his hand with a bit of confusion, and then looked up at Gao Dongxu, who had already closed the box again.

Upon seeing the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, both Wu Sansheng and A Ning's eyes narrowed. A Ning, in particular, was the main purpose of her tomb raiding trip. Seeing Gao Dongxu casually toss it to Wu Xie, she almost cried out to stop him.

Everyone watched with curiosity as Gao Dongxu walked to a protruding stone by the altar and stepped on it.

"Kara-kara-kara—"

With a loud bang as a mechanism was activated, everyone's faces changed drastically as they felt the earth shake violently. They stared wide-eyed in disbelief as a huge bronze coffin, secured by iron chains, emerged from the tree trunk.

The iron chains had been integrated with the tree trunk and had wrapped around the bronze coffin several times.

Everyone turned to look at Gao Dongxu again, and this time, no one doubted that Gao Dongxu was actually fully aware of everything here.

It feels like coming home.

After experiencing this absurd feeling, everyone looked at Gao Dongxu with even greater awe, and at the same time felt that Gao Dongxu was becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable.

"Come and take a look, this should be the coffin of King Lu Shang—" Gao Dongxu greeted everyone with a smile.

Everyone finally relaxed. Before that, everyone was on edge because no one knew what the mysterious and unpredictable Gao Dongxu would do next.

Murder to silence witnesses... This is what Wu Sansheng and his ilk fear and worry about most.

It now seems that this mysterious young master Gao has no intention of keeping them underground.

Wu Sansheng was the first to rush to the bronze coffin. After carefully examining it, he exclaimed, "So the real coffin is here after all."

The fat man shouted excitedly, "Goodness, such a big coffin must be worth a fortune! This trip wasn't a waste after all!"

Wu Sansheng laughed and cursed, "It's valuable, it's valuable, but stop thinking about money all the time. Even if it's valuable, you can't move it."

On the contrary, Wu Xie, who had tucked the snake-browed bronze fish into his inner pocket, walked forward, circled around, and frowned, saying, "Strange, other people's coffins are nailed on and not prepared to be opened again, but the mechanism of this stone platform seems to be designed so that others can find this coffin. Could it be that the tomb owner originally planned to let others open his coffin one day?"

And look at these chains, they're tied so tightly, it doesn't seem like they're for securing things, but rather like they're there to prevent the things inside from getting out.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that this was indeed the case, and they exchanged bewildered glances. They had encountered far too many unbelievable things on their journey, so the presence of a monster inside was no longer surprising to them.

Fatty Wang said stubbornly, "I bet all the valuable treasures in this tomb are inside. So what if there are zombies in there? There are so many of us, and Brother Xiao and Young Master Gao are both top-notch experts. Who cares if it's white-haired or black-haired? If it dares to come out, we'll wipe it out completely. What do you say, Young Master Gao?"

"Hehe, you really are willing to risk your life for money." Gao Dongxu teased with a smile, and Fatty Wang chuckled.

"Go ahead and open it. The thing inside is still alive, but it's not a threat," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"what?!"

Everyone's expression changed, they were startled, and subconsciously took a step back to avoid the bronze coffin.

"Don't worry, if I say it's not a threat, then it's not a threat. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Zhang." Gao Dongxu smiled and looked at Zhang Qiling.

Everyone looked suspiciously at Zhang Qiling, who had remained silent.

Zhang Qiling looked at Gao Dongxu and then nodded slightly.

Only then did everyone, filled with trepidation and overflowing curiosity, begin to gather around the bronze coffin, trying to figure out how to open it.

Wu Sansheng reached out and shook the iron chains. Each of these chains was as thick as a thumb. At that time, China had just entered the Iron Age, and these things were considered luxury items.

After so many years, most of them have aged beyond recognition and can basically only be used as decorations.

"Young Master Gao, fire a few shots and these chains will break," Wu Sansheng said to Gao Dongxu.

"Leng Feng," Gao Dongxu called out.

Leng Feng stepped forward, pulled out his pistol, and fired a few shots, breaking all the chains except for a few that were used to hold the chains in place.
