Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 275 Search
After killing the zombies, everyone searched everywhere and found that there were indeed no more ghosts and zombies in the tomb. There was no need to search specifically in the main tomb chamber. There were six small niches under the painted walls on the east and west walls, and a large niche behind the coffin.

Everyone stepped forward and took out the things in the niches. The twelve small niches contained some daily necessities. After searching for a while, they actually found four entry-level pottery jars of the same style.

Effect 1: No rot. Cereals, grains and fresh fruits will not rot even after being stored for five years.

There are two soul bottles in the large niche behind the coffin. Unfortunately, these two soul bottles are just ordinary objects. If they can be upgraded, they will be more useful than these daily pottery. After all, they are funerary objects specially used for burial.

Zhu Fu also cleared out the glutinous rice and other things that had been poured into the coffin. There were many gold and silver "unicorn feet wraps" buried inside, which were hollow in the center and concave at the bottom, shaped like horse hooves. They all weighed one jin. After counting, there were ten gold and thirty silver.

After gathering the useful items from the niches and coffins, Shi Qian began to hammer and bang again. Although he did not find any other niches, he did find a jade pig in the hand of a zombie killed by Liu Tang.

Effect 1: Hiding in the pig house can speed up the growth of pigs and slightly improve their resistance to diseases.

After Zhao Zhen looked at them, he did not dislike these burial objects and asked them to be put away. He also asked Shi Qian to blow out the eternal lamp, and everyone returned to the main world at once.

Although I was still among the graves, my mood was different from half an hour ago.

After seeing ghosts and zombies, it seems that these monsters that only exist in legends are no longer scary. As the saying goes, human fear comes from the unknown, which is probably why Gao Hu suggested that he come.

Zhao Zhen saw that the fog in front of him had dissipated. He opened his eyes and looked to the north. Seeing that two patches of fog were still there, he knew that he had won.

Seeing Zhao Zhen coming out, Song Qian, who was waiting on the city wall, hurried over to greet Zhao Zhen and others to go out of the city gate.

Zhao Zhen asked, "Manager Song, how long will it take for your master to come out?"

Song Qian said, "Sir, in previous years, it took the two gentlemen an hour to explore the fog in a tomb. This year, with your help, the fog here will definitely be cleared before nightfall, and no one will be harmed this year. Sir, you can follow me back to the camp to rest first. After the two gentlemen come out, I will come to see you."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "No need, it won't take long, we will just wait here for the two adults to come out."

After hearing this, Song Qian did not force it, and led Zhao Zhen and others up to the city wall. He also found a few chairs for Zhao Zhen and others to sit on, and he stood far away to serve.

Taoist Dong said, "Master, I saw you collect several ghosts with a peach wood gourd. I wonder what these ghosts are like?"

Zhao Zhen took out a peach wood gourd from his arms, looked at it and said, "Master, the ghost is indeed trapped in the gourd, but I don't know what use it is. You can take a look at it too." As he said that, he handed the gourd in his hand to Taoist Dong.

Taoist Dong looked at it and said, "Sir, this is the first time I have seen this ghost, and I don't know how to use it. In theory, it can be sacrificed and refined into soldiers, but I don't know how to refine it. However, this ghost has yin energy after all, and it may affect your luck if you carry it with you. Sir, please leave it with me first, and I will go back to worship it in the Lingguan Temple. If there is a method in the future, how about refining it?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I don't know when I can see the wonders of Taoism."

Hu Sanniang said, "My husband, this ghost is not that powerful. The Taoist soldiers trained with it should not be much different. I killed a ghost with just one sword, but I am not as good as a soldier. My husband should focus more on martial arts instead of thinking about Taoism."

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Sanniang is right. Since ancient times, there have been many kings seeking immortality, but none of them have really become immortal. Taoism is ethereal and vague, it is better to have martial arts skills, which can not only achieve success, but also kill ghosts and monsters when encountering them." Pei Xuan said, "What the great lord said is right. The immortal path is ethereal. Besides, doesn't practicing Taoism also rely on the support of wealth in the world?"

Ruan Xiaowu even said, "That's right, that's right. Since ancient times, people have been granted titles immediately. I'm afraid that those who practice Taoism are all in the deep mountains and old forests, right?"

Everyone laughed.

As everyone was talking and laughing, they saw the fog dissipate in the distance. Zhao Zhen looked from afar and saw that it was indeed Song Shiqin's group coming out.

After Song Shiqin came out, he looked around and saw Zhao Zhen waving on the top of the city wall. Song Shiqin led his team over.

The two men greeted each other, and Song Shiqin said, "No wonder Gao Hu said that you are very capable. You were able to come out so quickly after entering the tomb mist for the first time."

Zhao Zhen said, "It's just that I have a few magical instruments that can restrain ghosts, and my brothers are brave, so I was lucky enough to get out before Brother Song. I wonder if the giant clam bracelet can be useful?"

Song Shiqin said: "Brother, this magic weapon is indeed useful. The ghost is indeed wary of people with rosary beads and is unwilling to get close. This time, only two people had their yang energy sucked away. They will be fine after resting for a while. The others are safe and sound. Therefore, they came out much faster than usual."

Zhao Zhen said: "As long as it is useful, I will feel relieved."

Song Shiqin said, "Brother, I think you have some giant clams left. Could you sell me some?"

Zhao Zhen said hesitantly, "Brother Song, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility. It's not difficult to carve and grind this giant clam bead. But to make it into a Dharma instrument, it must be enshrined in a Buddhist temple. It also requires a high-level monk to lead a group of novice monks to chant sutras day and night, and believers and donors to sincerely pay respect to it. Only then can this giant clam be infused with Buddha's light and become a Dharma instrument."

"I have only got seven strings of giant clam rosary beads. The Vinaya master in my temple has been practicing meditation for a long time, neglecting his morning and evening lessons, in order to let the giant clam be imbued with the Buddha's light. This will definitely not happen in the future. Therefore, I cannot guarantee when I will get more in the future."

Song Shiqin said, "I am very happy to have these seven strings. I will not urge you. As long as you are willing to sell them, I will take them. I know you are not short of gold and silver. I am willing to trade with you for the exotic cotton cloth. I will never let you suffer any loss."

Zhao Zhen quickly said, "Brother Song, don't worry. If I have extra giant clam rosary beads, I will definitely think of you."

As they were talking, there was a cheer from the city wall. Zhao Zhen and Song Shiqin looked up and saw that the fog in another place had also dissipated.

Soon, Song Jinhong and his group also came over.

After greeting each other, Song Jinhong asked, "Brother, who came out first, you or brother Zhao Zhen?"

Song Shiqin said: "It was brother Zhao Zhen who took the lead."

"So, brother Zhao Zhen has won. In that case, let's cash in the bet. It's just right..."

Before Song Jinhong finished speaking, Song Shiqin interrupted her and said, "There's no need to talk about it here. Let's go back and change our clothes first. We have to celebrate tonight and then we can place the bet."
