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

Wu Xie stared with his large, clear black and white eyes at the eerie Warring States period female corpse, slowly moving towards the front of the black coffin.

"Go in."

Li Changsheng pointed to the black coffin, and the Warring States period female corpse trembled and hurriedly lay down inside.

With a clang, the lid of the black coffin closed automatically.

The bright red Taoist talisman on it flashed with a red light for a moment, and then gradually returned to calm.

Wu Xie swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are you a Taoist priest who specializes in catching ghosts?"

"I work in funeral parlors! If you need anything in the future, remember to call me at 137xxxx4444. Fair prices, honest service, and guaranteed value for money!"

"Oh, this..."

Wu Xie hurriedly shook his head. He had only graduated a few years ago and was still young. He didn't want to die so young.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie chuckled twice.

"Brother, you're joking. I don't need it for the time being."

Li Changsheng didn't care and turned his gaze to Wu Sansheng, Pan Zi, and the others.

"I don't need it either."

"It's alright, we'll need it sooner or later."

Li Changsheng smiled faintly, lifted the black coffin with one hand, and threw it into the water.

Then, he took a step forward and stood directly on the black coffin, letting it drift away from the water cave on its own.

Upon seeing this, Wu Sansheng quickly instructed Pan Zi and Da Kui to row the boat and follow.

This water cave is interconnected and has many branching paths.

I wonder if there are any other demons or monsters. It's obviously safer to follow this deity.

……

The group didn't know how long they had been floating in the water cave. When Wu Xie felt dizzy, a light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Not long after, they followed behind Li Changsheng's large black coffin and left the cave filled with corpses.

Outside the water cave is a small river that flows all the way to a village at the foot of the nearby mountains.

The village is located in Yizhou, Shandong Province, surrounded by mountains and nestled in a valley.

However, they are currently building a tunnel to open a highway.

Upon seeing human habitation again, Wu Xie felt as if he had been reborn.

He let out a long breath, and his tense nerves visibly relaxed.

Seeing Li Changsheng lift the black coffin back onto his back, Wu Xie's eyes lit up, and he quickly moved closer.

"Brother, what's your surname? You see, we've been through thick and thin together, and I don't even know how to address you."

"Li Changsheng".

"Li Changsheng...what a good name!"

Regardless of why it's good, just say it's good.

This is what Wu Xie learned from his grandfather, Wu Laogou, when he was a child.

Wu Xie glanced at the black coffin and asked cautiously.

"Brother Li, where are you planning to take the Warring States period female corpse?"

Perhaps worried that his question was too presumptuous, Wu Xie quickly added another sentence.

"I'm just curious. If it's inconvenient to talk about it, it's okay if I don't answer."

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng looked at Wu Xie as if he were an idiot.

Wu Xie felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze before he finally spoke.

"She is my client."

Wu Xie was taken aback by these words.

After Li Changsheng carried the black coffin away, Wu Sansheng patted Wu Xie on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Ordinary people can't understand these kinds of extraordinary individuals."

Panzi tidied up his backpack, hid the homemade double-barreled shotgun, and interjected midway.

"Young Master, I think this person is probably telling the truth."

Da Kui is a tall man of 1.9 meters. Although he is a veteran, he is not very brave.

Only now, recovering from the shock of the corpse-strewn cave, he overheard Wu Xie and the others' conversation and asked with some worry, "What if the place he's going to is also our place... Third Master, what should we do then?"

"What to do? Just deal with it!"

Wu Sansheng scratched his head, his face showing a hint of helplessness.

This trip was specially arranged for Wu Xie, so that he could formally come into contact with the grudges and entanglements between the Old Nine Gates and the Wang family.

But who knew that such a deity would suddenly appear.

However, despite the headache, Wu Sansheng had no intention of giving up.

If all else fails, we'll change the plan.

If we could bring this deity into the Nine Gates' camp, there might be even more benefits.

Wu Sansheng pondered to himself, then quietly approached Zhang Qiling and asked him in a low voice.

What do you think of this person?

"I don't know!" Zhang Qiling shook his head.

Wu Sansheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What about the black coffin? Do you know its origin?"

"I don't know." Zhang Qiling shook his head again.

But this time, he hesitated for a moment and added another sentence.

"That's really weird!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Sansheng felt uncertain again.

The main problem was that he simply couldn't understand who this young man, who called himself the Funeral Director, was.

Unable to figure it out, Wu Sansheng simply put these things aside for the time being.

He sighed, his voice growing softer.

"After I leave, protect Wu Xie."

"Um."

……

Wu Xie stepped into the mountain village with great interest. He looked around and found everything new and interesting.

Pan Zi, Wu Sansheng's partner, was experienced and shrewd. He handed out a few Zhonghua cigarettes to the villagers, and they quickly became acquainted.

Panzi returned after chatting for quite a while.

"Third Master, I've found out. There's a small guesthouse in the village that can accommodate people. I told them we were a geological survey team, and the villagers said that about half a year ago, the government sent a geological survey team here because they were going to build a road nearby."

"Who knew that halfway through the investigation, they discovered a bunch of Warring States period tombs. Archaeological teams from the city and province came, and the excavation lasted for more than half a year. The highway was rerouted, and the government personnel also withdrew."

Everyone frowned upon hearing this.

They came here just to set up a cooking pot; to put it nicely, they were called tomb raiders; to put it bluntly, they were grave robbers.

But if the tombs have all been excavated by the archaeological team, how can they be robbed?

Wu Sansheng thought for a moment, took off his backpack, and took out a detailed map of Yizhou City.

After discussing it for a while, the group all breathed a sigh of relief.

There were originally several mountain ranges in the area, two of which were called Jinqueshan and Yinqueshan.

The tunnel highway that the city was planning to build was later discovered to be a burial site inside Yinqueshan Mountain.

The ancient tomb mentioned in the Warring States period silk manuscript is located in Jinqueshan.

Wu Sansheng put away the map and said with a smile, "Looks like we're lucky. We'll rest in the village for the night and set off tomorrow morning."

After the discussion, everyone headed to the guesthouse behind the village.

To their surprise, Li Changsheng was also at the guesthouse.

"Brother Li, you're here too?"

"What do you mean... I can't stay in a guesthouse?"

Li Changsheng had already taken a shower and changed into sportswear, looking no different from a recent college graduate.

In fact, he looks even younger than Wu Xie.

Wu Xie quickly shook his head, stammering, "I thought you were a demigod, only needing to live on dew and wind..."

"After I send you off to your funeral, I might just become a demigod."

Seeing that Li Changsheng could still joke, Wu Xie knew he wasn't really angry, so he quickly said, "I can't, my third uncle has to come."

pat!

Before Wu Xie could finish speaking, he received a flick on the head from Wu Sansheng.

"You brat, are you cursing me?!"

"Hehe, Third Uncle, I was just joking."

Wu Sansheng glared at Wu Xie, then turned and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Li Changsheng.

"Mr. Li, Wu Xie is a bit outspoken, please don't take it to heart."

Li Changsheng didn't care; in fact, he wasn't joking.

When Wu Xie dies someday, the system might actually be able to complete a mission, and the rewards would probably be quite generous.

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Wu Xie grew even brighter, and he secretly wondered whether he should take advantage of the situation and stab the kid.

After thinking for a long time, he still gave up this tempting option.

After all, he was only guessing, and he wasn't so heartless as to kill innocent people indiscriminately to get a reward.

Besides, the mission of the Warring States female puppet is not yet complete.
