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

"Why should I worry? It's you who want to enter the Immortal Village, not me..."

Li Changsheng shook his head. His task at present was to bury the Wushan girl in this Nine Palaces Chihu Stone Coffin.

Whether or not we enter the Earth Immortal Village is really not important.

Secondly, the key to the Immortal Village inside the coffin isn't absolutely necessary. If it's burned, so be it. He knows the entrance to the Immortal Village anyway; he can just have Ah Ning's mercenaries go up and dig the tunnel like miners.

Anyway, there are a lot of them, and they can dig through in seven or eight days.

He was surprised to hear this.

He originally thought that Li Changsheng had big ambitions and that this trip was most likely for Feng Shigu, who was said to possess the secret techniques of the Earth Immortals in the Earth Immortal Village.

But looking at his nonchalant demeanor now, it doesn't seem quite right...

Black Bear was momentarily disoriented and could only lament in his heart.

"Wu Laosan, you've really gotten me into a lot of trouble! After this mission is over, I promise I'll stay far away and never answer your calls again!"

……

The Taoist priest wandered around the stone coffin for most of the day.

He frowned at times, then relaxed at others, but after hesitating for most of the day, he still didn't make a move.

"Miss Aning, this Nine Palaces Dragon Tiger Lock is far too profound and complex. I am not confident that I can crack it."

Ah Ning was anxious, but she didn't show it on her face. She could only say, "Master Gou, take your time. Make sure you're absolutely certain before you act!"

The key to the Immortal Village is inside this coffin, and it is crucial to the success or failure of this trip.

Even though Aning was anxious, she could only wait for the result.

But just then, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cave again.

Not long after, Xiang Yunfeng and the others returned.

"Chief Xiang, what's going on here?"

Xiang Yunfeng's expression was complicated, and he said helplessly, "The flock of swifts on the mountainside has flown away; there's not a single one left. The Shadowless Immortal Bridge is gone too; we're trapped in this canyon!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

If we're trapped in the canyon for three to five days, we might have enough supplies, but if it goes on for too long, we'll eventually die here like Feng Shiqi.

Fortunately, Ah Ning remained calm and beckoned her men to go outside the cave to investigate.

Upon hearing this, the Southeast Asian mercenary, Cai Song, immediately ran out of the cave.

A short while later, he ran back and spoke a string of Thai words to Ah Ning.

A Ning nodded, then turned to the crowd and said, "The swifts have indeed migrated, and now we can't use the Shadowless Immortal Bridge to return the way we came. But you don't need to worry too much. I don't think Feng Shigu left behind the 'Guanshan Zhimao Fu' (Guanshan Zhimao Fu) to harm his family's descendants. Perhaps there are other exits inside the Earth Immortal Village."

Hearing this, although everyone still had doubts, they at least quieted down.

Li Changsheng was prepared for the swifts to fly away, since swifts and locusts are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

With the locust swarm eliminated, the swifts naturally had to leave to find other habitats.

But he wasn't too worried. The village of Dixian had hollowed out the entire mountain of Coffin Gorge, so once he entered the tomb, he would naturally find another way out.

If all else fails, just let the King Xian from the black coffin come out and become a miner. With just one flying zombie, he can easily subdue two or three hundred miners, and it's only a matter of time before they dig through Coffin Gorge.

After calming everyone down, Ah Ning looked at Hu Zi on Lao Kuai's back.

"Boss Xiang, what happened to your men's injuries?"

"There's not much of a problem for now; we can hold on. But I hope to get into the Earth Immortal Village as soon as possible and find another way out."

A Ning nodded, then her eyes lit up, and she quickly asked Xiang Yunfeng to unlock the Nine Palaces Chihu Lock.

In order to escape his predicament as soon as possible, Xiang Yunfeng immediately went to the stone coffin.

He silently considered the possibilities for a moment, then declared firmly, "I can unlock this lock!"

As he spoke, he pressed down on the dragon-tiger on the coffin lid and turned the tiger's head one by one.

A moment later, a series of clicking sounds were heard as the stone coffin opened.

Ah Ning perked up and quickly went to the stone coffin, looking inside.

There was no corpse inside the coffin, but a square box about the size of a washbasin lying quietly inside!

The entire box is made of gold, and it still shines brightly even after hundreds of years!

The beam of the flashlight shone on it, reflecting a dazzling golden light.

However, Ah Ning did not rush to act. Instead, she carefully inspected the inside of the coffin. Once she was sure there were no other traps or mechanisms, she took the rubber gloves handed to her by her subordinate, put them on, and then retrieved the golden box from the coffin!

There was no lock or mechanism on the gold box; Ah Ning easily opened the lid with a gentle push.

After opening the lid, she saw a pen lying inside the box!

To be precise, it is a large calligraphy brush, with the handle also made of pure gold and the tip made of top-quality wolf hair.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Both the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" and Feng Shiqi's last words mention that the key to the Earth Immortal Village is hidden inside the stone coffin, but why is the key a pen?

Xiang, the head of the team, stared at the golden calligraphy brush in A Ning's hand, momentarily at a loss for words.

He scratched his head and could only turn his gaze to Li Changsheng.

"Advisor Li, this sum of money..."

"See for yourself, there are words on the pen!"

After Li Changsheng reminded her, A Ning instantly realized what was happening. She turned the golden brush over and immediately saw two lines of small characters engraved on the other side of the brush handle: "Mountain-Viewing Divine Brush" and "Drawing a Gate on the Ground"!

Upon seeing these two lines, Ah Ning not only failed to understand, but became even more confused!

She said, "I've heard the story of Ma Liang and his magic brush, but it's impossible that this brush in my hand is Ma Liang's magic brush! That's even more absurd than Feng Shigu becoming an immortal!"

Li Changsheng laughed heartily and nodded, teasingly saying, "That's true. Ma Liang's magic brush can draw anything; even celestial peaches and fairies can draw them. Feng Shigu would have to be a fool to use such a magical artifact as a key..."

If Ma Liang's magic brush truly existed, its value would far surpass that of any earthly immortal!

After all, even immortals don't have the ability to create something from nothing or turn stones into gold.

Li Changsheng's smile was still on his face when he suddenly froze for a second!

Because a system notification sounded in his mind!

[Customers detected within a 10-mile radius. New task issued!]

[Please, host, send the poisoned zombie Feng Shiqi to his funeral and bury him in the Eighteenth Chaotic Burial Ground!]

Upon hearing this prompt, Li Changsheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight.

He thought Feng Shiqi was no longer able to complete any tasks, but who knew he would suddenly come back to life!

Could it be that the key to Feng Shiqi's resurrection lies in the emergence of this Mountain-Viewing Divine Brush?!

Whatever the reason, Li Changsheng's attitude towards missions was like Han Xin's strategy of deploying troops—the more the merrier.

Take on as many tasks as you can.

Anyway, the system gives rewards regardless of the difficulty of the task; sometimes even simple tasks can yield amazing rewards.
