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

"The Immortal's Acupoint?"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly.

"That's nonsense, just like how many people try to find immortality in various tombs."

Upon hearing his words, not only was Wu Xie stunned, but even Professor Sun looked puzzled.

"Who says there's no immortality in tombs? My Zhelong clan has passed down its ancestral teachings for thousands of years, and the ancient Dian Kingdom's King Xian mastered the art of immortality!"

Professor Sun seemed somewhat angry, his face showing resentment.

"If it weren't for these reasons, the Zhelong clan wouldn't have suffered such a calamity! Moreover, according to my research over the years, the reason why King Xian led all the people of the ancient Dian Kingdom into the deep mountains and forests was because the news of his possession of the secret method of immortality had been leaked, attracting the covetousness of Emperor Wu of Han, who sent a large army to coerce King Xian into handing over the secret method."

This secret history was something that none of the people present would have known if Professor Sun hadn't revealed it.

Wu Xie seemed to be deep in thought, and couldn't help but ask, "So the ancient Dian Kingdom, which is recorded in history as having suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, wasn't due to some internal strife, but rather it hid in Zhelong Mountain to avoid Emperor Wu of Han's army?"

"That's right!"

Despite being blind, Professor Sun did not give up searching for the secret to King Xian's immortality.

He snorted coldly, his face showing a hint of arrogance, and said, "King Xian was a great ruler of the ancient Dian Kingdom. In his youth, he went to the Central Plains to study Taoist magic. Later, he combined the Gu techniques of the ancient Dian Kingdom and created countless secret methods, including the secret method of becoming an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I've only heard that the Miao people in Yunnan know about Gu poison, but what exactly is Gu poison?"

Professor Sun didn't speak this time, seemingly not wanting to pay any attention to Wu Xie.

Of course, he didn't pull out a gun to threaten like he did before.

After the battle just now, he already knew Li Changsheng's strength and that he was not someone that could be threatened by a broken gun, so he gave up the idea.

Now that his identity has been switched, he has become meat on the chopping block, and his life or death is in the hands of the other party.

Professor Sun did not answer. His daughter, Sun Xiaomei, hesitated for a moment before explaining.

"The Gu technique is derived from the Gu worm technique, but it is more insidious and vicious, and the Gu worms cultivated are also more powerful."

"It is said by word of mouth in our Zhelong Village that King Xian once cultivated a kind of Gu infant, which is half human, half ghost, and half insect. It is incredibly powerful, tireless, and fearless of death. Even an army would collapse upon encountering a Gu infant. However, with the burial of King Xian, the art of Gu was lost."

Upon hearing the words "Gu Ying," Wu Xie felt a chill run down his spine.

Half-human, half-ghost, half-insect!

That title alone is terrifying!

A cool breeze blew through the gourd cave, causing the surface of the underground river to churn.

And the half-broken Huo Clan Undying Worm was also writhing on the mountain wall, unable to die no matter what.

Wu Xie chuckled twice and turned his attention back to the square box in front of him.

He picked up the box and placed it on a relatively flat large rock, then examined it carefully.

After the box was cleaned, its exterior was smooth and rounded, with no gaps to be found, making it appear as a single, seamless piece.

"This box is amazing; it doesn't even have a single seam!"

Wu Xie couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. After searching carefully, he finally found a keyhole at the bottom of the box.

The keyhole is strange, though; it doesn't resemble an ancient bronze lock.

Wu Xie couldn't help but murmur, "The shape of this keyhole looks a bit like...like that golden staff?!"

Li Changsheng nodded and casually took out the Dragon-Tiger Golden Short Staff that the two of them had found in the Blood Jade Coffin from his bosom!

This short staff is less than a hand's length long, with a dragon carved at one end and a tiger at the other.

After two thousand years, it remains as bright as new, radiating a golden glow.

Seeing this, Wu Xie finally understood that Li Changsheng knew everything, and that he had even gone to find the Great Witch Zongzi in the Blood Jade Coffin specifically for the Dragon Tiger Short Staff.

Wu Xie couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself, thinking that all his worrying had been in vain. He figured that Li Changsheng knew more about the tomb of the King of Xian than Professor Sun and his daughter, descendants of Zhelong Village, and was equally clear about the dangers inside.

Having figured this out, Wu Xie instantly felt relieved, thinking that as long as Li Changsheng was there, the Tomb of the King of Xian was no big deal.

"Big brother, quickly open it and see what treasure is inside this box."

Seeing that Li Changsheng wasn't making any moves, Wu Xie couldn't help but urge him softly.

To everyone's surprise, Li Changsheng suddenly shoved the golden short staff into his hand and said, "You drive it."

"Should I do it?!"

Wu Xie was taken aback, recalling that when they were at the Blood Jade Coffin earlier, Li Changsheng had said that he had good luck.

As soon as the coffin was opened, a giant witch-like zombie jumped out.

Could it be that Brother Li hopes I'll open a rice dumpling?

Looking at the small square box, no bigger than a washbasin, Wu Xie dismissed his idea.

"Impossible! This box is so small, it couldn't even fit a giant toad, let alone a rice dumpling!"

Thinking of this, Wu Xie did not hesitate and picked up the Dragon Tiger Short Staff and inserted it into the keyhole.

As the Dragon Tiger Short Staff was inserted to the bottom, a slight click sounded from inside the box, and then the box opened.

however!

The moment the box was opened!

A blurry figure suddenly darted out from inside the box.

The afterimage was extremely fast, and before Wu Xie could react, he was knocked down!

Moreover, the phantom continued its momentum, flying out of the gourd cave as soon as it left the box.

This scene was so sudden that no one else had time to react except for Li Changsheng!

Li Changsheng was already somewhat prepared!

Although nothing unexpected happened when Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi opened the box, there was only a shriveled mandrill skeleton inside!

But Wu Xie is incredibly skilled at opening coffins, so there might be something unusual going on.

Therefore, he had already made preparations in secret long before Wu Xie opened the box.

Seeing the phantom about to run away, Li Changsheng raised his hand, and several Maoshan talismans held between his fingertips shot out immediately!

"Hmph, you think you can run away now that you're in my hands? Come back here!"

Two Maoshan yellow talismans followed closely, catching up with the fleeing phantom in an instant and surrounding it from the left and right.

The phantom darted left and right, but could never break through the encirclement of the yellow talisman.

Gradually, the phantom churned with black energy in the air, forming a black-faced, fanged shape.

Upon seeing this scene, not only Wu Xie, but even Sun Xiaomei stared in shock, almost shouting out in unison.

"Is this the mountain god of the mountain god temple?!"

That's right!

The phantom that was stopped in mid-air by Li Changsheng's yellow talisman was none other than the mountain god in the mountain god temple!

Just as Wu Xie and Sun Xiaomei were stunned, Li Changsheng's lips curled up slightly, and he casually made a move.

"return!"

In an instant!

The two yellow talismans directly enveloped the essence of the mountain god, rapidly shrank, and then returned to Li Changsheng's hand.

Even in his hands, the spirit of the mountain god was still unwilling to give up and continued to struggle desperately, trying to break through the yellow talisman and escape.

But with a simple flip of his hand, Li Changsheng completely silenced the spirit of the mountain god.

At the same time, Li Changsheng heard the system's pleasant notification sound again!
