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

After all, the young man had helped them so much along the way.

I just felt that the guy seemed to know this place inside and out, which I found a bit strange.

Zhang Qiling didn't move, but instead kept his head up, staring at Wu Tianjiao.

Although he's not a very talkative person, he knows who treats him well.

He could sense that Wu Tianjiao had just been protecting him...

"Brother Tian, ​​buddy, there's a knob here!"

Wu Xie quickly found a button that could be pressed next to the big tree.

Aside from calling him "Brother Tian" offhand, he should have called him "Third Uncle." The reason he called him "Little Brother" was to express that he trusted him.

Whatever the reason why the young man knew so much about this ancient tomb, he was willing to believe him. "Wu Xie, press it," Wu Tianjiao said.

Chapter 120: The Triple Coffin Weighs Eight Hundred Pounds, and the Young Master's Palm Strike

Wu Xie nodded, and then pressed the button on the ground.

As soon as Wu Xie pressed the button, he heard a rumbling sound as the mechanism turned, and the entire ground shook violently.

Soon, a colossal bronze pavilion appeared from the tree and was moved out.

The coffin was covered with ancient inscriptions. Wu Xie tried to decipher them and was certain that the owner of the coffin was the King Lu Shang they were looking for, as his deeds were recorded on it.

Strangely, despite the obvious design of the mechanism, Wu Xie found it in less than half a minute. The coffin was wrapped with iron chains but not sealed, as if the tomb owner had deliberately allowed future generations to open it.

Suddenly, a noise came from inside. Could there be something alive inside?

"Ancient emperors were usually buried in three coffins and two outer coffins. This nine-headed cypress is the first layer, and this huge bronze hall is the second layer. If I'm not mistaken, there is one more layer inside."

"With such a heavily sealed enclosure, how could anything still be alive inside, especially considering that thousands of years have passed?" Wu Sansheng said, looking at the bronze coffin in front of him, which was larger than the two coffins he usually saw.

"Why don't we just open it and take a look? We're already here anyway," the fat man said.

Wu Sansheng nodded, then looked at Wu Tianjiao, "Brother Tian, ​​what do you think?"

There was a commotion coming from inside the Bronze Pavilion. Wu Sansheng was worried that a corpse might rise from the dead inside, so he consulted Wu Tianjiao.

“I have no objection. Fatty is right. Since we’re already here, we should at least see who King Lu Shang really is.”

Wu Sansheng nodded, and then together with Pan Zi, they removed the iron chains from the coffin and prepared to open it.

“Now that we’ve removed the first outer coffin, there are still a few more layers inside that we have to open to see them clearly,” Wu Sansheng said after removing the chains.

Wu Tianjiao smiled and shook his head. It was just a matter of removing the chains; it wasn't that easy to open them.

"No, Third Master, this lid is too heavy to push."

Pan Zi spent half a day pushing the coffin lid at home, using all his strength, but the lid just wouldn't budge.

Wu Sansheng nodded. "That's normal, after all, this is the Bronze Hall. Come on, let me help you."

Even with Wu Sansheng's help, it still didn't work.

Wu Xie quickly ran over, and just like before, the coffin lid remained completely still, as if it had been welded to the surface.

"Third Master, now I know why this coffin wasn't nailed down. Even if it wasn't nailed down, we couldn't push it open," Pan Zi said, straining with all his might.

This was the most difficult coffin he had ever encountered in his life.

“What coffin? This is called a casket. Do you understand what a casket is? I’ve told you so many times,” Wu Sansheng said.

"Alright, alright, Third Aunt, aren't coffins and outer coffins the same thing? What's the use of being so literary? You can't even push the lid open."

"If you ask me, you Southerners are all show and no substance. Come on, step aside. When it really matters, it's Fatty who will show you what he's got."

As he spoke, the fat man cleared away Wu Xie and the others.

Then, he spat a few times into his hands and rubbed them together.

He unleashed his full power in an instant, expecting to open the coffin, but it remained closed.

"You say we Southerners are useless? Let's see if any of you Northerners are useful."

Wu Sansheng shone a flashlight on the fat man and said.

The fat man turned his face away. "Hey, Auntie, stop shaking me with that junk. I'm dizzy."

"Tch." Wu Sansheng was too lazy to argue with the fat man.

"Third Master, this coffin—no, it should be called a sarcophagus—could it really be sealed shut by something?"

The fat man said.

Wu Sansheng frowned; at this moment, he was also somewhat unsure.

The coffin appeared to be neither nailed shut nor had any mechanism.

But why can't I open it?

Is it really just because it's too heavy?

But there were three of them just now. Three people working together could easily move something weighing five or six hundred pounds. This coffin lid shouldn't weigh more than six hundred pounds.

Wu Sansheng looked at Wu Tianjiao, about to speak, when Zhang Qiling walked over and said in a cold voice, "I'll give it a try."

Zhang Qiling extended his right palm, gathering a surge of power within it, and then struck the bronze pavilion with it, yet it remained completely still.

"Brother, it's not that I don't trust you, but so many of us working together couldn't push the coffin lid open. You think you can just push it open with one slap? That's a bit of a perfunctory approach."

Zhang Qiling ignored the fat man and then struck again with his palm towards the right side above the coffin.

The next second, the bronze coffin lid, weighing a full 800 jin, was sent flying by Zhang Qiling's palm strike.

It spun around in the air a few times, then with a thud, it landed heavily on the ground.

Everyone except Wu Tianjiao was dumbfounded.

Some could hardly believe it; the lid they had struggled to open together had been opened with a single palm strike.

incredible.

"Holy crap, bro, is that Iron Palm? That's way too awesome."

The fat man was somewhat unable to calm down. Brother Tian could easily push down a wall, while this young man could send a bronze lid weighing several hundred kilograms flying with just one palm strike.

These are all incredibly impressive.

While Wu Sansheng and the others were still in shock, Wu Tianjiao was already attracted by the newly revealed third outer coffin.

....... .... ...

The third outer coffin was much smaller than the second, and also much more exquisite.

The coffin is made from a single piece of jade and is carved with various patterns. This coffin alone is worth a fortune.

"Holy crap, this jade is huge!"

Everyone realized what was happening. When the fat man saw the jade coffin inside, which was entirely green, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

Brother Tian, ​​this jade..."

Wu Sansheng was somewhat incredulous.

Wu Tianjiao nodded. "Third Master, you're right. This is the Vanas jade from Miao territory. It depicts the concept of a round heaven and a square earth. For such a piece of jade to have any value, it must be complete."

Wu Sansheng nodded. He hadn't expected that King Lu Shang's coffin was of such high quality. Not to mention ordinary feudal lords, even emperors rarely used such jade to make stone coffins.

It's not that we can't afford it, but this kind of jade is just too rare and precious.

"Now I'm even more eager to see for myself who this King Lu Shang really is."

As he spoke, Wu Sansheng looked at Pan Zi.

"Panzi, remove the lid, but be careful not to damage the jade."

Pan Zi nodded, then removed the Vanas jade from the top.

A lacquered wooden coffin was revealed.

The coffin lid was engraved with many patterns.

As Wu Xie examined the pattern, he said, "This should depict the scene when the coffin was placed inside." "Third Master, Brother Tian, ​​let's open the coffin."

Pan Zi said two.

"Wait a minute," the fat man said.

This is the last coffin. According to the rules passed down from our ancestors, a candle must be lit before opening the coffin to ask for their permission.

"Let me see where the southeast corner is!" Fatty Wang said, and started searching.

"Third Uncle, what is Fatty talking about? How come the ancestor's affairs are involved here?" Wu Xie asked.

"Didn't you hear this fat guy just say we're from the Southern School? If I'm not mistaken, he should be a tomb raider from the Northern School. Tomb raiders have many rules. For example, before opening a coffin, a candle must be lit in the southeast corner. If the candle is not extinguished, the coffin can be opened. Otherwise, even if there is the Imperial Seal of the State inside the coffin, it cannot be opened."

"I never expected this fat guy to be a tomb raider. It seems I really underestimated him before."

Wu Tianjiao inadvertently noticed something hanging around the fat man's neck.

With eyes closed and mind focused, the Boundless Demon Eyes revealed the object hanging around the fat man's neck.

It was the Tomb Raider's Talisman.
