The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Seeing that Zhang Qishan had stopped, Qi Tiezui breathed a slight sigh of relief and said to the crowd.

Everyone looked towards the last carriage, and their expressions changed slightly.

This last carriage has been reinforced with extra care; the sheet metal is thicker and the welding is stronger.

At this moment, Hua looked at Fang Yun with a puzzled expression, as if waiting for Fang Yun's explanation.

Seeing this, Fang Yun smiled faintly, pinched the painted face, and raised his voice to say:

"As you can see, the first carriage contains ordinary stone and wood coffins. Some coffins don't even have outer coffins; they are just ordinary bare coffins, not of high standard."

“Those coffins even have numbers and inscriptions on them, so they should all have come from the same ancient tomb. The further we went, the higher the specifications of the coffins became, and the smaller the numbers marked on them became.”

"Judging from the burial specifications, those were secondary coffins used as burial objects."

"Being accompanied by the secondary coffin and escorted at the very end... this is naturally the most important main coffin!"

"The tomb raiders truly live up to their reputation!"

As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, Qi Tiezui nodded repeatedly, his gaze towards Fang Yun now showing a hint of warmth.

Feng shui and divination are inseparable; both belong to the five arts of metaphysics.

Fellow practitioners of the five arts of metaphysics are rare to find, so Qi Tiezui naturally wanted to befriend Fang Yun.

Chapter 164 The Whistle Coffin, and the Ferocious Creature Inside!

Fang Yun smiled and remained silent after hearing Qi Tiezui's words.

The title of "Captain of Tomb Raiders" is still quite useful in the industry.

People in the industry like to befriend the Tomb Raiders because everyone knows the rules of the Tomb Raiders' faction: following them means making a fortune.

Of course, Fang Yun also knew that the Qi family was not short of money. Qi Tiezui probably wanted to make friends with him and discuss the Five Arts of Metaphysics.

"The main burial chamber, what are we waiting for? Let's go in!"

At this moment, Hua tugged at Fang Yun's hand and urged him on.

She's been having some free time lately and feels a little unaccustomed to it.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Fang Yun smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhang Qishan and said:

"Brother Zhang, Hua and I haven't fought in a long time, and we're itching to get our hands dirty. Would you be so kind as to let us have a turn?"

Each of the nine gates of Changsha City had its own territory, and the nine households at each gate were not allowed to work in another household's territory.

This ghost carriage belongs to Zhang Qishan after all, and he and Hua are outsiders. Opening the coffin under Zhang Qishan's nose naturally requires them to give a heads-up, so as not to be suspected of usurping the host's place.

"Alright, you two be careful."

Zhang Qishan thought about it and didn't refuse.

We should still give face to the Tomb Raiders and the Mountain Movers, especially since these two factions are here to help. With their strength, exploring a coffin is definitely not a problem, so it's good that he can save some effort.

Furthermore... he also wanted to see the skills of the tomb raiders and the mountain movers.

These four tomb raiding factions are like towering mountains suspended in the sky, suppressing other professions for thousands of years. It would be a lie to say they don't want to compete with each other.

Not only Zhang Qishan, but also Qi Tiezui, Huo Sanniang and Qi Guniang behind him, all had their eyes light up.

The tomb raiders and mountain movers are solitary and mysterious, and their names are always known but never seen. They also want to see how these two factions are doing.

Fang Yun nodded and led Hua into the last carriage.

The last carriage was very dimly lit, with only light seeping in through the doorway. The rest of the carriage was completely sealed off with layers of sheet metal, leaving no gaps for light.

The carriage was divided into two sections. The front section had several tables with scattered sketches on them.

The latter half of the area was covered by a huge iron cage, but the cage door was open, and a large stone coffin was placed inside.

On the ground beside the stone coffin lay several corpses carrying guns, these corpses were different from the ones seen earlier.

These corpses were not lying face down, and there were no holes in their bodies.

But these corpses all had wounds and bite marks, and their bodies had long since bled out, forming a bloody pool on the carriage floor.

1671055

Judging from the marks, the person had been dead for a long time.

The corpse's face also showed extreme terror, as if it had seen something terrifying before it died.

Looking at the large stone coffin and the corpse on the ground, Fang Yun's lips curled up.

Earlier, when Zhang Qishan kicked open the car door, he sensed a strong aura of yin and corpse.

The corpse's yin energy was just as dense as that in the tomb.

The fact that it could emit such a corpse-like aura during the day indicates that the thing inside the coffin has awakened, and these guards were killed by it.

He remembered that the ghost train was not dangerous, but now he could sense the presence of a rice dumpling.

Perhaps... it was Zhongyuan Yin's aura that awakened the sleeping rice dumpling.

Of course, those are minor issues, and this is exactly the situation he was hoping for.

He really missed zongzi (sticky rice dumplings)!

After the Corpse King of Ping Mountain, he never encountered a zombie again.

Along the way, we encountered all sorts of strange and bizarre things, such as insects, worms, ghost insects, black devils, and corpse caves.

When he encountered things like the Corpse Cave and the Great Black Heaven, he could only run away; he was so frustrated.

Now, he's finally going to get to eat real zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and he's practically bursting with joy!

"Zongzi!"

Zhang Qishan and the others behind him and Hua also saw the appearance of these corpses and their expressions changed.

Zhang Qishan quickly turned around and said to his adjutant, who had returned:

"Lieutenant, move all soldiers who don't have the surname Zhang away from the train station!"

Ordinary soldiers, seeing that the ghost car was unharmed, would at most spread a few rumors, which would lose their novelty after a few days.

But the scene inside the vehicle must never be seen by ordinary soldiers.

Moreover, now that we even have Riji himself and zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), if this gets out, rumors about Riji, infectious diseases, parasites, ghosts, and so on will spread, and Changsha will surely be in chaos.

Lieutenant Zhang clearly understood the importance of the matter; without saying a word, he turned and ran out of the carriage.

"Sure enough!"

Fang Yun walked to the stone coffin, his smile widening.

That's great! What's lying in here is indeed a real zongzi!

"A coffin with a whistle on it? That's really rare!"

Hua moved closer to Fang Yun and examined the stone coffin.

A ring of molten iron was poured around the stone coffin, sealing the gap between the coffin body and the lid. On the lid, there was a hole just big enough for one hand to fit through.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

This is an old tactic.

In ancient times, the mountains and rivers were barren and the country was plagued by wars, which destroyed many auspicious sites.

After a feng shui-blessed burial site is destroyed, the corpses buried in the underground ancient tombs are very likely to become zombies.

When tomb raiding, if the thief encounters a place where corpses are raised or a coffin with too much yin energy, and if the thief is not confident in dealing with the evil creature inside, he will melt his weapons and seal the coffin with molten iron to prevent the evil creature from escaping.

Afterwards, a hole would be made in the coffin lid, just big enough for one hand to pass through, so that one hand could reach into the coffin and steal the ancient artifacts inside.

If something changes inside the coffin, one can even sever an arm to save their life and avoid the danger of the poison spreading.

Because there is a hole in the coffin, the sound produced when the wind blows through it is similar to a whistle, so this type of coffin is called a whistle coffin.

When you encounter this kind of coffin, there are only two possibilities.

..... .. 0

First, the contents of the coffin had already been removed; it was an empty coffin.

Secondly, the internal structure is still intact, but the ferocious creature has awakened, and the whistleblower has severed his arm to survive.

Of course, not all thieves are brave enough. It's possible that the monster woke up after the whistle was sounded, and the thieves didn't dare to reach inside, leaving the coffin untouched.

The iron sheet between the lid and the body of this whistle-shaped coffin is cracked.

This means that the contents inside have already been released.

"Crack...crack...hiss...roar."

Just as Hua leaned forward to examine the whistle coffin, there was movement inside the stone coffin.

A series of ear-piercing scratching sounds rang out, along with a few faint hissing noises.

The entire stone coffin began to tremble, as if the thing inside was about to break out of the coffin.

Seeing this, Hua was startled, took a step back, and stood behind Fang Yun.

"It's awake!"
