In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar came from inside the bronze coffin, and the entire coffin trembled violently.

Everyone was so frightened that they retreated.

Wu Xie quickly asked, "Did you hear that? What's going on???"

Su Mo stared in shock at the bronze coffin. Although he knew the creature inside was alive, could it have already awakened?

Panzi and Fatty Wang huddled together, suddenly feeling much safer. Panzi wondered, "Could there be something alive inside?"

Fatty Wang shoved Pan Zi: "Damn it, don't try to scare me!"

Wu Sansheng also said, "How is that possible? This coffin is sealed so tightly, there's not a drop of air in it. Even if there really was someone inside, after three thousand years, it would be difficult for them to survive!"

"Yes, they definitely won't survive!"

Wu Sansheng tried to encourage himself.

This is absolutely insane! Wu Sansheng has been tomb raiding for years, and this is the first time he has ever encountered such a situation.

The thing in the coffin is still alive? How is that possible?

Wu Sansheng found it hard to believe.

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Open the coffin!"

The fat man asked cautiously, "Master Su, would you like to light a candle...?"

"Ha ha…"

Su Mo chuckled, "No need. Even if several tomb raiders were here, with me here, they wouldn't need to light candles..."

Seeing that Su Mo had already said so, the fat man didn't know what to say. He called out to the others, "Come on, brothers, give us a hand and open the coffin!"

Pan Zi, Wu Xie, Wu Sansheng, and Fatty surrounded the coffin and tried their best, but no matter how hard they tried, the coffin remained motionless.

Pan Zi said unhappily, "Why is it so heavy?"

The four Chaos Fiends shook their heads speechlessly, stepped forward, and were about to take action themselves.

"You're injured. Let me do it myself..."

Su Mo called out to Chaos, then came to the coffin, swayed his waist and roared, and pushed the bronze coffin lid away.

"..."

Wu Xie's eyes widened, Wu Sansheng was shocked, and Pan Zi fell silent.

Fatty Wang still didn't miss any opportunity to flatter him, "Master Su is amazing, Master Su has the strength of a tyrant..."

Wu Xie and Pan Zi exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that the weight of this coffin was probably even greater than the cauldron lifted by the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.

Thinking back to Su Mo's previous skills, Wu Xie suddenly felt that even if the Overlord were resurrected, he probably wouldn't be a match for Su Mo.

Su Mo didn't notice the expressions on everyone's faces; at this moment, all his attention was focused on the bronze coffin.

The stone coffin was overturned, revealing an exquisite jade-inlaid lacquered coffin.

It is covered with jade stones, which are arranged in a very neat manner, in both diamond and circular shapes, summarizing the saying that heaven is round and earth is square!

Inside the jade-encased coffin was a painted lacquered wooden coffin. Because the outside was covered with jade, no one could see what was painted on it.

The fat man peeked out, somewhat surprised, "There's another coffin!"

Su Mo explained to the crowd, "Most of the feudal lords of the Warring States period were buried in double outer coffins and triple inner coffins..."

As they were talking, Su Mo paused, his brows furrowing, and said in a deep voice, "There's breathing coming from inside..."

Is there breathing sound inside the coffin?

Everyone was shocked.

Wu Sansheng was also a veteran in the tomb raiding world. He had seen all kinds of storms. When he heard Su Mo's words, he was somewhat skeptical. So he bent down and put his ear to the coffin to listen carefully for a while.

"Boom!"

Wu Sansheng turned pale and took several steps back in fright: "There really is breathing!"

Fatty Wang was completely bewildered, unsure if it was true or not, and asked, "Master Su, Third Uncle, are you really not joking? This can't be a joke!!!"

Su Mo remained expressionless and continued dismantling the coffin.

"Click click click click click click click click click click!"

The mechanism in the coffin was triggered, and the entire coffin was raised by the mechanism below.

Suddenly, the coffin opened automatically.

A corpse dressed in a jade burial suit sat up abruptly.

Having witnessed the earlier commotion from the bronze coffin, and now seeing the corpse sit up, everyone except Su Mo, Zhang Qiling, the Four Fiends, and others was greatly alarmed and retreated hastily.

Wu Xie was so frightened that he immediately raised his gun and prepared to fire.

Wang Pangzi reacted immediately, grabbing his pistol and shielding Wu Xie with his own gun, whispering, "Don't shoot! He's got a lot of treasure on him, don't damage it!"

Wu Xie looked at the corpse, nodded, and then put the gun away.

"This is... a jade... figurine!"

For the first time, Wu Sansheng became excited, "What a stroke of luck! This is a divine artifact that can reverse life and death!"

Chapter 182: Iron-Faced Scholar and King Lu Shang

Wu Sansheng composed himself, carefully examined the jade figurine, and asked, "I heard this jade figurine can't be removed from the outside. Are we going to have to move it outside? I think we should pry it open..."

Wu Sansheng's words only made things worse. Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang became agitated. "I told you Southerners have absolutely no skill involved! All you do is try to lift or pry. Can't you use your brains and think of a way to get it off?"

The Southern School that Fatty Wang mentioned actually refers to the Nine Gates of the South. People from the Southern School rely on ancestral experience to raid tombs, and often resort to violence, lacking true tradition.

Like many tomb raiders, they used some of the most basic tomb raiding methods, such as looking at the soil and tasting the soil, to identify the condition of ancient tombs.

Knowing even a little about the art of geomancy and feng shui makes one a top expert.

The Northern School emphasizes skill in tomb raiding, and even the tomb raiders can be classified as belonging to the Northern School.

However, the reputation of the Tomb Raiders is so great that it has been passed down since the Cao Wei period.

Even seven- or eight-year-old children can hum a few lines of the slogan, "The tomb raiders have seals, the gold diggers have talismans, the mountain movers have techniques, and the ridge unloaders have armor."

"Make way, make way..."

Fatty Wang said, "Let me show you what I'm capable of..."

"call!"

A steady breathing sound came, and this time, everyone heard it, and everyone's hearts were shaken.

live!

This guy is really still alive!

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, then simultaneously looked at Su Mo, "Master Su... this..."

Su Mo said, "Take it down, Fatty, get to work, take the jade figurine down for me..."

This jade figurine is a unique treasure, capable of allowing one to live for a thousand years within it. This method of achieving immortality is far superior to the method of becoming a master.

In order to quickly achieve immortality by using the corpse of the Black Sheep King, Feng Shigu sewed himself into the corpse of the Black Sheep King and then sealed him alive in a coffin.

In Su Mo's view, this method was simply torture, while the Iron-Faced Man in the jade terracotta figure was breathing steadily, as if he were asleep, which was extremely comfortable.

"Got it!"

The fat man readily accepted the order, then took out a magnifying glass and drew a thin line on the jade figurine.

There is a play!

Pan Zizan exclaimed, "Hey, Fatty really knows his stuff! You managed to spot all those loose threads and such tiny details!"

"hey-hey…"

The fat man chuckled softly, a smug look on his face. "Just you wait and see..."

As he spoke, the fat man pulled the silk thread, preparing to completely remove the jade figurine.

"and many more…"

Zhang Qiling, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted.

Although the fat man was somewhat puzzled, he obediently stopped. Zhang Qiling took a few steps forward and looked at the breathing corpse, saying, "This thing sheds its skin once every five hundred years. Only when it sheds its skin can the jade be removed. If you forcibly peel it off..."

"The corpse inside will turn into a blood corpse. This living corpse in the Jade Pool has existed for over three thousand years. As soon as you pull the thread, it will immediately rise up!"

Zhang Qiling shifted his gaze to Su Mo, "If he were to rise from the dead, it would be extremely troublesome, perhaps even more terrifying than that flying corpse that was about to attain enlightenment!"

Zhang Qiling's meaning was self-evident: after the corpses were resurrected, another bloody battle was inevitable.

Su Mo glanced at it and sighed inwardly. In truth, he didn't care. He was confident that he could suppress all the evil spirits and zombies underground.

However, with so many people around, if Iron Face were to rise from the dead, he might not be able to protect them all.

Su Mo shook her head. "Let's do it your way..."

"it is good!"

Zhang Qiling responded, looked down at the breathing corpse, and said, "You've lived long enough, you can die now!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed the corpse by the neck. The living dead seemed to feel suffocation, and its whole body convulsed violently.

However, it didn't last long. Zhang Qiling took action and snapped his neck, extinguishing all life in the jade figurine.

The fat man hesitated, then turned to look to the side. After confirming Iron Mask's life or death, Su Mo nodded. "Fatty, get to it. You have to dig the body out no matter what. I want the jade terracotta warrior..."

Su Mo was determined to obtain this jade figurine, which was unique in the world.

"okay!"

Wang Banyue sensed that the battle was nearing its end and everyone would be leaving the tomb soon, so he wouldn't miss any opportunity to curry favor with Su Mo.

Wang Banyue continued dismantling the jade figurines.

Zhang Qiling then added, "There's a purple-gold jade box inside the lacquered coffin; everything you want is inside..."

Wu Xie asked suspiciously, "Who exactly are you? How do you know what we want?"
