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

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xie turned his gaze to Li Changsheng.

"Brother, has the magnetic field of Zhelong Mountain returned to normal?"

As he spoke, he took out a compass from his backpack.

The results showed that the previously disordered compass had returned to normal.

However, Sun Xiaomei, who had remained silent, shook her head, denying Wu Xie's conjecture.

"No, only the magnetic field at Huixian Palace is normal; the magnetic field is still chaotic in other places."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie was somewhat surprised.

He quickly grabbed his compass and walked onto the pier, only to find that as soon as he stepped onto the pier, the compass started spinning wildly again, and his Nokia phone in his other hand also lost signal.

At this point, Professor Sun offered an explanation.

"The Huixian Palace is built halfway up the valley, corresponding to the key point of the formation in the pool below. Zhelong Mountain has a large formation within a smaller formation, with two different feng shui formations. There's an old saying in our village: 'The Tomb of King Xian can only be broken by the collapse of the heavens!'"

Upon hearing the words "collapse of the sky," Wu Xie immediately thought of the ancient tree that contained the blood jade coffin.

In other words, it just so happens that during World War II, an American transport plane crashed inside Zhelong Mountain and hit the ancient tree at the core of the formation, thus disrupting the formation outside.

Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh, this was truly a coincidence that his mother opened the door for another coincidence—coincidence had reached its peak!

However, this also indirectly confirms what Fatty Wang said: God does not allow the Immortal Cave to exist in the world. There will always be various coincidences that destroy the Immortal Cave, such as being struck by lightning or experiencing an earthquake. This time, it directly resulted in a plane crash.

"No matter how well the King of Xian guarded against it, he was ultimately outmaneuvered. Who would have thought that two thousand years later, this fake immortal would run into my elder brother, the real immortal!"

At this point, Wu Xie's face immediately broke into a wide smile.

"Brother, you go first."

Li Changsheng laughed heartily, and without refusing, walked straight ahead.

After climbing the ninety-nine white marble steps, you will arrive at the gate of the Huixian Hall.

The main hall is still in the style of the Qin and Han dynasties, with 160 nanmu trees as the main body, golden glazed tiles on the roof, flying eaves and hanging corners, purple pillars and golden beams.

A stone tablet stands in front of the main hall, beneath which is a kneeling monster.

In ancient times, the most common vessel used to carry stone tablets was the Bixi, also known as Baxia. Resembling a tortoise, it is one of the nine sons of the dragon in mythology.

But the monster carrying the stone tablet in front of us is not the common Bixi, but a monster that is half lion and half elephant.

The stone tablet is engraved with some local seal script from the pre-Qin period. Unless you are a specialist in this field, most people really can't understand it.

After studying it for a while, Wu Xie could only give up in frustration.

He was knowledgeable about the flower and bird seal script of the Wu and Yue regions during the pre-Qin period, but he was somewhat helpless when it came to the local seal script of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Fortunately, Sun Xiaomei is a native of Zhelongzhai and has inherited some of the ancient Dian Kingdom's script. She is also a graduate student specializing in the study of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

With her father's help, the inscription on the stone tablet was quickly deciphered.

"Master, this says: 'The mystery beyond mystery, the gateway to all wonders. The Heavenly Palace of Soaring Clouds, the Hall of Immortal Gathering.'"

Upon hearing this, Ma Liang couldn't help but curl his lip and say, "This Prince Xian is really obsessed with becoming an immortal."

While the group was talking, Li Changsheng had already arrived at the gate of the Huixian Palace.

This palace door is tall and heavy. Although it is not locked, it weighs over a thousand kilograms and is difficult for an ordinary person to push.

However, Li Changsheng simply kicked the door of the Huixian Palace, and it was instantly smashed open with great force.

The spacious interior of the hall felt unusually gloomy.

Fortunately, the main hall was not completely sealed off; the air inside still circulated with the outside.

Wu Xie and the others entered shortly after, and after their eyes adjusted to the dim light inside the hall, they could see clearly that behind the hall doors stood two rows of giant statues.

These statues are all made of bronze and include eight lions, elephants, qilin, camels, etc.

There are a total of seven pairs of bronze beasts!

Behind the bronze beast are two rows of bronze statues of civil and military officials.

At the end of the bronze statues depicting both civil and military officials, a throne is guarded.

The throne was empty, but it was obvious that it was prepared for King Xian.

Wu Xie stared intently at the exquisite bronze beasts and figures before him, muttering to himself.

"Priceless, priceless!"

If these bronze artifacts were taken outside, they would definitely be national treasures that are rarely seen in a century.

Normally, having one bronze beast is already quite remarkable, but there are dozens of bronze beasts and bronze human figures in front of us, which is simply the epitome of luxury.

Ma Liang was startled by the scene before him, and even his voice became much softer.

"How did King Xian, the ruler of a small border country, obtain so many treasures? This doesn't make sense."

It should be noted that even the best-preserved tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, which was unearthed a few years ago, did not yield so many important artifacts!

It's simply unbelievable that the ruler of the ancient Dian Kingdom could be so wealthy and extravagant.

Wu Xie pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, that's normal! The dukes and even emperors of the Central Plains, although they were wealthy, couldn't possibly stuff all their wealth into their tombs; most of it would still be left to their descendants. King Xian is different. That old guy probably didn't consider the matter of his descendants at all, and poured all the money of the ancient Dian Kingdom into this tomb."

Upon hearing this explanation, Ma Liang suddenly understood.

This explanation makes much more sense. Although the ancient Dian Kingdom was small, it was not impossible for it to mobilize all its resources.

As they spoke, they all headed towards the throne in the depths.

Between the bronze figures of civil and military officials and the throne, there is a golden pool.

The water in the Golden Pool had long since dried up, revealing a blood-red jade dragon at the bottom.

Wu Xie glanced at it and immediately recognized that the jade dragon must also be carved from blood jade.

Clearly, it must have been leftover scraps from when the coffin was carved.

Beyond the Jade Dragon Pass lies the throne of King Xian.

The throne is also resplendent in gold, and apart from some dust, it is exactly the same as it was two thousand years ago.

but……

Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the murals on the wall behind the throne.

The mural depicts the scene of King Xian ascending to immortality.

In the scene, a tall and majestic man wearing a golden crown stands directly on the head of a blood-red dragon and slowly ascends to the sky in the presence of his ministers.

However, while Wu Xie and the others were focused on the crimson dragon, Li Changsheng's attention was on the golden crown on the King of Xian's head!

In the very center of the golden crown was a gemstone.

The bead had a spiral pattern resembling a human eye on it; it was the Muchen Bead, which possessed the power of the Serpent God.

The upper part of the mural depicts the celestial beings of Heaven respectfully welcoming King Xian as he ascends to heaven and becomes an immortal.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

That old bastard, King Xian, not only wanted to become an immortal, but he even wanted to go to heaven and continue being a great emperor!

He didn't even consider that even if he succeeded in achieving true corpse liberation, he, a mere corpse-liberation immortal, dared to dream of becoming a great emperor in heaven? He was probably just dreaming!
