Tomb Raider: Invincible Double Pupil, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 139: Money Makes Cowards Courageous

"Could this also be modified by magic?!"

Without the protection of Tianxin Rock, Hydra Cypress will not let them go easily.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

Xu Feng walked towards the altar.

On the steps, the brightness is not enough because of the angle.

The altar was almost facing the crack above, and the moonlight was sufficient.

Xu Feng knew it.

If nothing unexpected happens, the mechanism of King Lu Shang's bronze coffin is here on the altar.

He walked up to the altar and looked around.

Wu Xie also ran up.

After a while.

Suddenly, the altar sank suddenly.

Xu Feng was shocked.

He leaped back reflexively and jumped directly off the altar.

Then he saw Wu Xie with a sad face, sitting on the side of the altar, hugging a stone sculpture tightly.

Xu Feng: "..."

Without even thinking, he knew that the mechanism must have been triggered by Wu Xie.

At this moment, a series of sounds of mechanisms being activated were heard from the altar, which was particularly creepy in this quiet cave.

Sudden.

A loud noise was heard from beneath the Hydra Cypress.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately looked towards the roots of the Hydra cypress.

Then everyone showed shocked expressions.

Including Xu Feng.

Although he knew that King Lu Shang's bronze coffin was hidden in the roots of the Hydra cypress, he was still so shocked that he was speechless when he saw the scene with his own eyes.

I saw that the root area of ​​the Hydra cypress was like a door curtain, with a gap on the left and right.

Then a stone platform extended from the gap.

On the stone platform is a huge bronze coffin.

It looks to be at least twice the size of a normal coffin, and is decorated with carvings and paintings that are extremely exquisite.

The most shocking thing was that there were more than a dozen iron chains as thick as arms wrapped around the coffin.

Click click click.

When.

With the sound of the spring snapping into place, the stone platform finally stopped moving.

The bronze coffin also completely revealed its true appearance.

Pan Zi rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Wow! No wonder we couldn't find it after searching for a long time. It turns out that King Lu Shang hid his coffin in the demon tree."

Fatty Wang also echoed: "No matter how well it was hidden, we still found it."

Wu Xie ran down from the altar in shock, and after calming down for a while, he said, "Strange, why is there so many chains wrapped around King Lu Shang's coffin? It feels like... they don't intend to let the person inside out."

"Hey, Master San is right, I feel the same way."

"Do you need to feel this? Anyone with eyes can tell at a glance, who would tie their coffin up like this with chains?!"

Several people walked cautiously to the bronze coffin and looked at it curiously.

Although they were talking happily.

But when they really got close, no one dared to take action.

After taking a close look at the coffin, the curious Wu Xie said to Wu Sansheng, "Uncle San, this is strange. Other people's coffins are nailed shut and never opened. Look at this. It seems that the mechanism of the altar just now was designed to help others find this coffin..."

"Could it be that King Lu Shang originally planned to let others open his coffin one day? And look, these iron chains are tied so tightly, it doesn't look like they are used to fix it, but rather it seems that they are tied there to prevent the things inside from coming out."

Wu Sansheng said gloomily, "Usually, situations like this represent the same meaning."

"That means the things in the coffin are very powerful."

Several people were silent for a while.

Wu Sanxing suddenly took out a crowbar and gently knocked on the bronze coffin. The rather dull echo showed that there was indeed a lot of things inside.

Pan Zi looked a little hesitant: "Third Master, shall we open it?"

Wu Sanxing's expression changed for a while, and after a while, he said, "We have come here at the risk of our lives, we can't return empty-handed, right? Besides, the jade figurine is very likely in the coffin!"

"open!!"

"and many more!"

Wu Xie suddenly said, "Look, the words on this coffin look a lot like small seal script."

He pointed to the patterns and inscriptions carved around the coffin and said.

Wu Sanxing asked directly: "What is written?"

He didn't ask Xu Feng because he knew Wu Xie knew Xiaozhuan.

Wu Xie fumbled and stared at the inscriptions for a while, then said, "The owner of this coffin is indeed King Lu Shang."

"It records his life story. For example, he was a prince, but he died before he was fifty, without any children. And the scene of his death was the same as what Xu Feng said, he suddenly passed away in front of the Duke of Lu..."

Gradually, Wu Xie's expression became more and more strange, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.

"Wu Xie, what else did you see?"

Wu Sansheng noticed Wu Xie's strange expression and asked quickly.

Wu Xie swallowed his saliva and said, "It also records the ghost seal of King Lu Shang. In fact, the ghost seal was not found from the stomach of a snake, but from the tomb of King Mu of Zhou."

"In fact, King Lu Shang found King Zhou Mu's tomb a long time ago!"

"When King Lu Shang robbed this ancient tomb, he was an official robber, so many people came in together... Almost all the valuable burial objects in the entire ancient tomb were moved away at that time... This can also explain why there are no burial objects in so many tombs along the way..."

"The Ghost Seal was found in the tomb of King Mu of Zhou. In addition, a scroll of silk book was also found as a burial object!"

"what?!"

Wu Sanxing and his companions were all shocked.

Even Xu Feng was a little surprised.

This plot does not exist in the original book.

Is this a magical modification?
“Are there any other records?”

"What is recorded in that scroll?"

Wu Sanxing asked.

Wu Xie shook his head: "There is nothing after that, and there is no content about the silk book."

Wu Sanxing felt a little regretful, but he quickly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. After the coffin is opened, we will be able to see the contents of the silk book."

He stepped forward and carefully studied the bronze coffin in front of him. Because there were more than a dozen thick iron chains wrapped around the coffin, the coffin could never be opened without removing these chains. Wu Sanxing stretched out his hand and shook one of the chains to feel it.

"It's just ordinary iron. Xu Feng and the young man's knife should be able to cut it."

"Xu Feng, can you lend me your knife?"

Xu Feng handed over the Ghost Sword.

Wu Sansheng took the knife and chopped it on the chain.

click.

The iron chain broke with a sound.

A smile appeared on Wu Sansheng's face.

Then there were a few more clicks of the knife.

The remaining chains all broke, and with a loud clanging sound, the entangled chains slid off the bronze coffin and fell to the ground.

"It's done!"

Wu Sansheng threw the knife back to Xu Feng.

Who knows.

He just finished speaking.

There was a loud bang.

The bronze coffin shook violently.

"Fuck!"

Wu Sansheng took several steps back as a conditioned reflex.

The others were also frightened and scattered.

Several people looked at the bronze coffin in horror, and Fatty Wang and Wu Xie's faces turned pale.

"Shit! This King Lu Shang might be resurrected. I think we should stop fighting and leave immediately!!"

Fatty Wang subconsciously grasped the dagger in his hand and said nervously.

Pan Zi also took out his weapon and faced the coffin with a serious expression.

Wu Sansheng frowned and stared at the coffin. After a moment, he shook his head: "No!"

"If it was something else, I would have let it go, but it's a jade figurine!"

"The legendary jade figurine that can achieve immortality."

"Are you just going to give up so willingly?!"

He turned his head and looked at Xu Feng: "Xu Feng, what do you think?!"

Xu Feng actually wanted to see what the properties of the jade figurine were, so he smiled and said, "No problem for me. I'll follow Third Master's arrangements."

Wu Sanxing looked at Zhang Qiling again.

There is no way. If King Lu Shang in the coffin comes back to life, the only ones who can deal with him are Xu Feng and Zhang Qiling.

So Wu Sansheng had to obtain the consent of both of them.

Zhang Qiling stared at the bronze coffin in silence for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xu Feng: "You said, there is something related to my life experience here, is it in the coffin?"

Xu Feng said hesitantly: "I'm not sure either."

"But I can promise you that whether there is anything in it or not, I will tell you your life story in detail."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling said to Wu Sanxing, "Open the coffin."

"it is good!"

Wu Sansheng said excitedly.

"Pan Zi, come over and give me a hand!"

"Okay, Third Master."

Pan Zi put away his weapon, found a crowbar, and went to the coffin.

The two men stood on both sides of the bronze coffin and inserted the crowbars in their hands into the gap of the coffin.

Three! Two!
One!

As Wu Sanxing finished his countdown, the two men exerted force together, and soon their faces turned red. The crowbar began to bend. At this moment, accompanied by a crisp and loud bang, the lid of the coffin, which was made of pure bronze and weighed more than a thousand pounds, was pried open.

Both of them work together and push horizontally.

But this thing was too heavy and it didn't move much after pushing it for a long time.

"Fatty, you're just watching the show from the sidelines, why don't you come over and help?!"

Wu Sanxing said unhappily.

Fatty Wang: "..."

He looked at Wu Xie, Xu Feng and Zhang Qiling who were watching the show nearby.

He muttered a few words.

Then he walked to Pan Zi and started helping push the coffin lid.

With his help, the heavy coffin lid was finally moved.

It was with great difficulty that the heavy coffin lid was pushed open.

A few people looked inside and found a jade nested coffin that could be called a work of art.

The coffin was inlaid with jades of various colors, which were arranged neatly in diamond and circle shapes, summarizing the saying that the sky is round and the earth is square.

Looking further inside, there is another painted lacquered wooden coffin inside the coffin!

There are some patterns painted on the painted lacquered wooden coffin, but because the jade on it blocks the view, only a little bit can be seen and it is impossible to tell what is painted.

Xu Feng and Wu Xie came over and saw what was inside the coffin.

When Fatty Wang saw the jade nested coffin inlaid with jade, his eyes almost popped out: "Holy shit! So many top-quality gems? I'm going to make a fortune!!"

Xu Feng smiled when he heard that.

As expected, he is Fatty Wang.

The same character as that fat guy Wang.

When seeing something valuable, I am always the most active one.

And he has a good eyesight too.

Although these top-quality gems on this jade nested coffin are not divine objects, they are also priceless treasures.

If all of this were to be taken out.

I'm afraid it's equivalent to an ordinary divine object.

There is an old saying that goes, "Wine makes cowards brave."

But, besides the fact that alcohol can make cowards braver...

Money is fine too!
