Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

"Holy crap, a miracle has happened!"

Wang Pangzi and Wu Xie had just climbed down the rock wall when they looked up and saw Li Changsheng radiating golden light.

The two of them had their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.

Behind them, Wu Sansheng, Pan Zi, and Xiao Ge were also shocked once again.

There is no shortage of extraordinary people and events in this world. Wu Sansheng knew that the young man next to him was an old man who had lived for nearly a hundred years.

But compared to Li Changsheng's appearance, which was radiating golden light, it was clearly still a bit lacking.

After looking at it for a long time, Wu Sansheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"This guy surnamed Li can't possibly be from the Wang family. If the Wang family had someone this powerful, why would they bother searching for immortality? They could probably ascend to heaven on the spot!"

He muttered a complaint under his breath, and then saw the golden light on Li Changsheng in the distance gradually dissipate.

Subsequently, both the branches of the Nine-Headed Cypress and the various corpse beetles of different sizes vanished completely, none daring to approach within three zhang of Li Changsheng.

Near the trunk of the Hydra Cypress, a clearing area has been created.

Upon seeing this, they quickly moved closer.

"Brother Li, what kind of tree is this?"

Looking at the ancient tree in front of him, which had an indescribable eeriness, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a chill.

Deep down, I always felt that this ancient tree was alive and might give me a nudge at any moment.

Li Changsheng didn't speak, and Wu Sansheng, seeing this, explained to his nephew in a low voice.

"This is a tree species that is rumored to have been extinct for a long time. Like the man-eating flower, it grows by preying on its prey, and because its branches look like snakes, it is called the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress."

At this point, Wu Sansheng paused.

"Judging by the size of this tree, it must be at least two or three thousand years old."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie clicked his tongue in amazement and couldn't help but pick up the Canon digital camera hanging around his neck and take a few photos of the nine-headed cypress in front of him.

Just as he was taking pictures, Li Changsheng carried the black coffin and came to the trunk of the Nine-Headed Cypress.

He ignored any traps or mechanisms and simply placed his hand on the tree trunk.

If you look closely, you can see that the surface of his palm is actually covered with a faint golden light.

The moment he placed his palm on it, the crown of the Hydra cypress suddenly began to sway.

Not long after, a bronze coffin, secured by four thick iron chains, slowly descended from the dense canopy of trees.

Upon seeing the bronze coffin, Pan Zi's expression changed.

He saw Wu Xie pick up a digital camera to take pictures of the coffin and quickly stopped him.

"Young Master, you absolutely mustn't film this!"

Why?

Before Pan Zi could speak, Fatty Wang snorted, his face full of smugness, and said, "Hey kid, I can tell you're a newbie. In our line of work, there's a saying: 'A bronze coffin—if your fate isn't strong, don't even think about it!' You dare to take pictures? You must have a death wish!"

When Wu Xie saw that Pan Zi did not refute him, he realized that Fatty Wang was not bluffing.

However, he retorted defiantly, "You're experienced, but you almost died in the grave too..."

"..."

While the two were bickering, Li Changsheng had already opened the lid of the bronze coffin.

The bronze coffin lid, weighing over a hundred pounds, was as light as a feather in his hands; he lifted it with a flick of his wrist.

Upon opening the coffin, a corpse was indeed found lying inside.

The corpse was still wearing a jade burial suit!

Strangely, however, there were layers upon layers of something that looked like scales inside the coffin.

But at this moment, whether it was Wu Xie who was arguing with Wang Pangzi, or Wu Sansheng and the others, they were all attracted to that golden jade burial suit.

"This jade burial suit must be worth a lot of money!"

Da Kui, a member of Wu Sansheng's team, had his eyes shining and couldn't take his eyes off the jade burial suit.

Fatty Wang wasn't much better off; upon hearing this, he answered almost instinctively.

"This thing would cost at least three million outside, and even more if someone knows its value! Hey, Fatty really hit the jackpot this time!"

At this point, Fatty Wang turned to look at Wu Xie and the others.

"How about it? Let's make a deal. I have connections. Let me sell this jade burial suit, and I'll share the money with you once I get it."

Wu Xie shrugged, looking nonchalant, and said, "Sure, but you have to get Brother Li's permission first."

Upon hearing the name "Brother Li," Fatty Wang immediately deflated.

He shrank back, then immediately changed his tune: "Well, I was just joking with you. You really can't take a joke. Everything in this container belongs to Master Li, of course."

As the two were talking, Panzi suddenly pointed into the coffin and cried out in surprise.

"No, look! There's no corpse in this coffin, there's a living person!"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Li Changsheng and Zhang Qiling was startled and instinctively looked into the coffin.

The owner lying in the coffin was indeed breathing, with his chest rising and falling.

Upon seeing this, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Wu Xie's eyes widened, speechless with shock.

The person in this coffin has been dead for at least two thousand years. If they are still alive, that would be defying the heavens.

Unexpectedly, Li Changsheng suddenly reached out and pulled the owner lying in the coffin out!

Then, he simply passed it to Fatty Wang.

"Fatty, help me peel the jade figurine off his body. Forget about the jade figurine, but there's a golden chest on that stone platform over there, it's worth some money, you can have it."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang was overjoyed.

Perhaps his desire for money overcame his fear, and he didn't care about any demons or monsters, and quickly started working.

Not far away, Zhang Qiling saw this scene and his brows furrowed.

He raised his hand, as if to speak and stop him.

After hesitating for a moment, he still put his hand down.

Because the person inside the jade figurine has undergone several molts, if the jade figurine is suddenly removed at this time, the person inside will quickly turn into a blood corpse.

But considering that there was still Li Changsheng, who could easily defeat a blood corpse with one hand, Zhang Qiling felt there was no need to remind him.

As the jade figurine was gradually removed, everyone finally saw the owner inside.

This person was a man in his forties with a somewhat gloomy appearance.

He had a fair complexion and no beard.

His appearance was quite ordinary; the only thing worth mentioning was how many years he had been lying in that bronze coffin.

Its face was incredibly lifelike, as if it had just fallen asleep.

More importantly, his chest was still heaving up and down, as if he could wake up at any moment.

Fatty Wang mustered his courage and dragged the jade figurine down intact.

Immediately afterwards, he held the jade figurine and looked at Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng removed the black coffin from his back and dragged out the blood-soaked corpse of King Mu of Zhou.

It was clear that King Mu of Zhou was still unconvinced, his dark eyes fixed on Li Changsheng.

But because all his bones were shattered into pieces, he was completely unable to move.

"Put the jade figurine on him!"

"what?"

Fatty Wang was stunned when he heard this request.

So...

You've been busy all this time, just to move the blood corpse to a new house?

This is outrageous! They were living peacefully in their stone coffin, and you moved them without even asking their permission?!

Despite his inner grumbling, Fatty Wang dared not say it to his face.

He had no choice but to suppress his fear and forcefully stuff the bloody, muddy corpse into the jade figurine.
