Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

Zhang Qiling stopped him abruptly, somewhat annoyed, "What do you want to do?"

Pan Zi glanced at Wu Sansheng and said, "Of course we should let the old man rest in peace inside." To put it bluntly, they were afraid he would run away again.

"No need," Zhang Qiling said coldly.

Wu Tianjiao walked over and took the hammer and nails from Pan Zi's hands.

“Panzi, although you’re not a feng shui master, you’ve been tomb raiding for so many years. Don’t you know that you can’t just seal a coffin without knowing the right time? That’s bad luck.”

"But I..."

Wu Tianjiao patted Pan Zi on the shoulder, "Alright, don't say anything more. I know you're doing this for everyone's good. Let me handle this."

Pan Zi pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

Wu Tianjiao took out a talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the stone coffin.

"This is a corpse-suppressing talisman. As long as it's there, no matter what kind of corpse is in this coffin, it will have to stay obediently in the coffin and never come out again. So you can rest assured now?" Wu Tianjiao said to Pan Zi.

Pan Zi couldn't help but look at Wu Sansheng, who nodded slightly at him.

Then Pan Zi nodded heavily at Wu Tianjiao.

Although he had never heard of any corpse-suppressing talisman in the world.

But since Third Master chose to believe it, he naturally had no objections.

Wu Tianjiao smiled.

"Alright, the one in the stone coffin is just a minor incident. Let's hurry up and find the main burial chamber. Just like what Brother said before, we must leave here before dark."

Soon, Wu Tianjiao and his group continued forward along a passage behind the stone coffin.

"Old Wu, ask Brother Tian if his corpse-suppressing talisman is really that effective? Could Brother Tian perhaps also draw talismans? Could you please ask Brother Tian to draw a few for me, like wealth talismans or peace talismans?"

Hai Shao's voice came into Wu Xie's ears through Bluetooth headphones.

Wu Xie glanced at Wu Tianjiao, but did not help him.

Although Wu Tianjiao wasn't wearing headphones, he still heard Hai Shao's voice.

He gave a mysterious smile.

During the twenty-two years before the official start of the Tomb Raider Chronicles storyline, Wu Tianjiao did indeed learn to draw talismans from the system.

Talismans for peace, fireballs, puppets, etc...

However, the corpse-suppressing talisman that Wu Tianjiao had just affixed to the stone coffin had no effect whatsoever.

It wasn't that Wu Tianjiao couldn't draw; it was that he simply didn't want to imprison King Mu of Zhou in the stone coffin.

Otherwise, wouldn't that pill he stuffed into King Mu's mouth have been wasted...?

Not long after Wu Tianjiao and the others left, the stone coffin of King Mu of Zhou underwent another strange change, and the lid of the stone coffin suddenly flew off the stone coffin.

Then King Mu of Zhou flew out of the stone coffin.

However, unlike before, he is no longer the blood-soaked corpse that was neither human nor ghost.

Instead, he reverted to his original appearance as King Mu of Zhou, and quietly followed Wu Tianjiao at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Ten minutes later, Wu Tianjiao and his group arrived at a passageway. The decorations here were more elaborate, and it should lead to the main burial chamber.

The group examined it.

Wu Xie suddenly shouted, "Brother Tian, ​​Third Uncle, Zhang Qiling, look quickly, there's a hole here!"

Wu Tianjiao walked over, squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and smelled it.

"This must be a newly dug hole."

Wu Xie frowned. "It seems that A Ning and the others are still one step ahead of us."

Zhang Qiling walked over and said in a cold voice, "Being one step ahead isn't necessarily a good thing."

Then they entered the tomb robber's tunnel and went inside.

Wu Tianjiao patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, "Let's go."

After passing through the passageway, the group saw that the statues of gods placed around them were even more magnificent.

Soon, led by Wu Tianjiao and Wu Sansheng, the group finally arrived at the main tomb chamber.

Seven stone coffins are placed here.

The large stone tablet behind the tomb chamber is carved with ancient characters that are somewhat difficult to understand...

"Nephew, it's time for you to show your skills. Don't you have some knowledge of classical Chinese? Take a look at what's written here."

Wu Sansheng said he missed her.

Wu Xie is indeed very knowledgeable about ancient scripts. He could tell at a glance that the script on the silk scroll was from the Eastern Xia Kingdom.

It's just a matter of whether or not one can recognize them all.

Wu Xie rushed over, holding a flashlight, and shone the light on the stone tablet.

“Brother Tian, ​​Third Uncle, your previous guesses may be correct. These characters are indeed the script of the State of Lu during the Warring States period. They record the life of the tomb owner, who was a vassal of the State of Lu. He was indeed King Shang of Lu himself.”

Knowing in advance that the ancient tomb they were visiting might be from the Warring States period, Wu Xie made a point of reviewing all the various scripts from that era on the way there.

I wouldn't dare say I can recognize all the characters, but I can recognize most of them and understand their general meaning.

Wu Sansheng nodded, then looked at the seven stone coffins.

"That cunning old fox has actually placed seven coffins here, making it impossible for us to tell the real ones from the fakes."

Chapter 189: The Spirit of King Mu of Zhou, Capturing King Yueban

"Third Master, what's the big deal? Since we don't know where King Lu Shang's true form is hidden, we can just open them all, can't we?"

Wu Tianjiao shone his flashlight on the location where the seven stone coffins were placed.

"I'm afraid things aren't that simple. There are seven coffins here, arranged according to the positions of the Big Dipper. If I'm not mistaken, this is the legendary Seven Star Coffins. Not only are they difficult for us to distinguish between the real and the fake, but each of these coffins should also have a mechanism set up inside."

“Brother Tian is right. Although this is the main burial chamber, there is no real tomb owner here.”

Zhang Qiling said in a cool, clear voice.

As he spoke, he suddenly turned the flashlight in his hand towards one of the stone coffins, which showed signs of having been opened.

Zhang Qiling then unleashed a palm strike, completely opening the stone coffin that had been slightly ajar. Inside, a corpse was revealed, but it wasn't the actual body; it was a foreigner.

Wu Sansheng walked over and said, "It seems that Brother Tian was right. These stone coffins are indeed traps."

It is obvious that the foreigner lying in the coffin entered the coffin because he rashly opened it.

"Third Uncle, I know this person. He was one of the people who chased me and Hai Shao back then."

Wu Sansheng nodded. "This is what they mean by 'those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish.'"

Third, Third Master, there's a shadow that keeps moving back and forth on the wall.

Panzi stared wide-eyed at the stone wall opposite him.

If it were just an ordinary shadow, it wouldn't have frightened him so much, but the shadow on the wall was clearly not human.

It has a human body, but its head is that of an animal.

It's like a monster created from a hybrid of a centaur and a human.

Wu Sansheng hurriedly turned around.

However, there was no shadow on the wall at all.

"Third Master, believe me, everything I said is true."

Pan Zi's eyes revealed a sincere look, and Wu Sansheng knew that Pan Zi was not lying.

Whatever can frighten Pan Zi is definitely not something simple.

Just then, that terrifying, strange shadow reappeared on the wall. But it vanished in a flash, and Zhang Qiling was about to give chase.

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao stopped him, saying, "Brother, leave this to me. You stay here with Wu Xie and the others."

Zhang Qiling hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Wu Tianjiao then chased after the dark figure.

Wu Tianjiao moved with lightning speed, quickly passing through the main burial chamber and arriving at another passageway. Wu Tianjiao stopped and said, "Come out, King Zhou, Mu."

As Wu Tianjiao finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness ahead. It was none other than King Mu of Zhou, who had been resurrected by Wu Tianjiao with a single pill.

King Mu of Zhou came to Wu Tianjiao's side.

He knelt on one knee, saying, "Thank you, Master, for helping me get rid of the pain."

Wu Tianjiao smiled and said, "King Mu of Zhou, you laid out a grand plan to achieve immortality three thousand years ago, but you never expected that a King Lu Shang and Tie Miansheng would ruin your plan. Not only did you fail to achieve immortality, but you also became a blood corpse."

"If you hadn't met me, you might have been stuck here forever, neither human nor ghost, guarding your enemy's grave."

King Mu of Zhou, who had just been kneeling on one knee, now knelt on both knees.

"So it turns out that Master knew everything. Time has passed, things have changed, and this calamity has made me realize the truth. Now I don't ask for immortality, I only ask that Master help me kill those two bastards, Iron-Faced Man and King Lu Shang."

Three thousand years ago, King Mu of Zhou obtained the secret to immortality from the Queen Mother of the West.

He put on the jade figurine and took the corpse beetle pill.
