The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Just as Wu Xie was shocked by the decorations in Fang Yun's antique shop.

Fang Yun suddenly asked, "How is Wu Xie? How have you been recovering these past few days? Is there anything seriously wrong?"

"There haven't been any major effects in the past few days, and my body is basically recovered now."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"To encounter something like this on your first time entering an ancient tomb is a rare experience in your life!"

Fang Yun sighed.

"I must thank Fang Yun for his help along the way and for rescuing us in the end. This small gift is nothing but a token of my gratitude. There is also something my third uncle asked me to give you. It is his most prized possession. My third uncle said it is to repay your life-saving grace."

As Wu Xie spoke, he took out the item he had been carrying in his pocket and handed it to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun took it without hesitation.

“Uncle Wu is indeed quite discerning. This thing is indeed quite rare. It wasn’t made in large quantities back then, and only three or five pieces survive. For one piece to be preserved so well and passed down to this day, its value is indeed considerable. Since it’s a gift from your Uncle Wu to my savior, then I gladly accept it.”

Fang Yun said with a smile.

"My third uncle just told me that you asked me to come over and show you something. I'm curious about what kind of thing could catch your eye."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"No rush, no rush. It's not my way of treating guests to stand there with their things. Come on, put your things here, and let's sit down in the inner room and have a cup of tea before we talk."

……

Fang Yun led Wu Xie into the inner room.

The interior decoration further broadened Wu Xie's horizons.

Luxurious yet understated.

Classic yet dignified.

Such a decorating style was a privilege reserved for ancient emperors.

Then look at the walls covered with funerary objects.

Wu Xie was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.

He had heard of some of these things before, but that was just hearsay.

Now that he has seen the real thing, Wu Xie can no longer contain his excitement.

"Although you haven't been to ancient tombs many times, you still have some understanding of the things inside. You can play with the funerary objects on this cabinet as you like."

Fang Yun said with a smile.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Wu Xie immediately perked up.

He quickly ran to the wall and looked at the funerary objects on the cabinet.

Wu Xie was overjoyed, as some of the artifacts didn't even have pictures.

There are only a few brief records.

Wu Xie knew these things because he had studied them since childhood, and also because he had run an antique shop for many years.

Wu Xie was able to tell that none of the artifacts in front of him were fake.

All of them are genuine antiques.

Looking at the wall full of antiques, Wu Xie felt an urge to take them all with him.

Wu Xie barely managed to suppress his inner desires.

Anyone who sees such a scene would find it hard to control their desires.

It's already quite remarkable that Wu Xie was able to control himself.

“These are purely personal hobbies and are not for sale. However, if you really like them, I can give you one as a gift. You don’t need to feel any pressure. Just consider it a barter between your third uncle and me.”

Fang Yun quietly looked at Wu Xie.

"I'm so sorry, I lost my focus for a moment. These antiques are all rare treasures, and releasing any one of them could cause a bloodbath."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

Wu Xie finally came to his senses, and then suddenly remembered the true purpose of his trip.

That is, Fang Yun said he wanted to show him an object, since he called him over alone.

That certainly isn't something that looks like a wall full of antiques; it must be something from an ancient tomb that was just descended from.

"By the way, what did you want me to see when you called me back?"

· ·········Request flowers· ···

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"No rush, let's sit down and talk, let's have some tea."

Fang Yun placed the freshly brewed tea on the table and gestured for Wu Xie to come and sit down.

Wu Xie quickly sat down as well.

Fang Yun picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and Wu Xie immediately smelled the aroma of tea.

Wu Xie also imitated Fang Yun's manner and began to sip tea.

This tea has a slightly bitter taste upon first sip, but a slightly sweet aftertaste.

The aroma of this tea hits you right in the head, making you feel refreshed and invigorated, and you can't help but want to drink a few more sips.

Just as Wu Xie was enjoying his tea, Fang Yun brought out a purple-gold box.

Wu Xie looked closely and realized that this was the amethyst box he had seen in the ancient tomb that day.

...... 0 0

Wu Xie was still a little puzzled as to why the treasure box was in Fang Yun's hands, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

Under such circumstances, how could anyone easily take away the valuables inside?

Since Fang Yun obtained it through his own abilities, Wu Xie naturally didn't say much.

What's more, the person standing in front of him is his savior.

"You must be very curious as to why this thing is in my hands, but you don't need to ask, because I won't answer you. I called you here today to see if you can unlock the secret of this Purple Gold Box."

“I can tell from inside the tomb that you don’t have any tomb raiding skills, but you do have some knowledge of the things in this tomb. Whether it’s the writing, the history, or the funerary objects on this wall, you have heard of them all. If you can open this purple-gold treasure chest, I only need to take a look at the items inside, and then you can do whatever you want with them.”

Fang Yun said calmly.

"There's a keyhole on this box. I remember the woman's corpse had a key in her mouth that day. Isn't that key on you? Why don't you just open the box yourself?"

Wu Xie said.

"I don't know whether to call you naive or stupid. Do you think I haven't tried things you've already thought of? That key is for locking. To lock the box, insert the key and give it a gentle twist, and the box will lock. To open it, you need a string of numbers."

Wu Xie took the box and examined it for a long time.

"You're overestimating me. If we try to unlock this box one by one using an eight-digit password, it would take forever. Besides, there's no information about numbers in the ancient tomb. Unlocking this box is harder than climbing to heaven."

Wu Xie said helplessly.

"That depends on your own abilities. I, Fang Yun, keep my word. If you can open this box, I'll take a look at the contents and then you can do whatever you want with them. If you don't have that ability, then consider it a mistake on my part and go back to where you came from!"

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he closed his eyes to rest and ignored Wu Xie.

Wu Xie held the box and looked at it for a long time, desperately trying to recall everything he had seen in the ancient tomb.

I recall the murals I saw back then.

At this moment, Wu Xie's mind was filled with memories of that day, "600". The more he thought about it, the more he felt like his head was about to split open.

The time of being lowered into the coffin, or rather, the time of Lu Shang Wang's death in history.

Wu Xie tried the password again and again, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something.

He quickly flicked the button on the box with his finger.

With a click, the sound of gears turning came from inside the box.

Fang Yun then slowly opened his eyes and looked at the box in Wu Xie's hand.

As the lid of the box slowly opened, the mysterious object inside was revealed once more.

"What...what is this thing? I've never seen it before."

Wu Xie asked in confusion.

Fang Yun took the purple-gold box from Wu Xie, took out the items inside, and examined them for a while.

They put the item back into the box.

"Alright, the contents inside are yours. You can leave the box here and go."

Fang Yun sat back down in the chair, as if to see the guest off.

"This……"
