Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 273 Weird things
Opening the coffin and prying out the nails is not an easy job.

The father and son were so tired that they were panting and sweating profusely. Their clothes were sticking to their backs, but in the end, they didn't get a single hair.

"This shouldn't be the case..." Old Zhou wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, frowning, his eyes full of confusion: "Strange, too strange! Why is there nothing in this coffin?"

Xiao Zhou figured it out and said, "Dad, there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe this is a place where a village or an organization secretly executes people."

"That organization has existed since ancient times and has dealt with many people, so there are coffins from different eras." Xiao Zhou's imagination was full of energy, and he began to analyze: "Now, we have broken into the secret base of that mysterious organization. Dad, we are in great danger now."

"...It's dangerous!" Old Zhou slapped his son on the head and said, "I told you to read less novels, why do you think so much!"

"We live in a society ruled by law now, where would such a mysterious organization exist?" Old Zhou said with both anger and amusement, "They have so many jade and bronze artifacts from the Spring and Autumn Period, which they deposit in the bank to earn interest, and they will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. What kind of secrets are they keeping? It's hilarious."

"..." Xiao Zhou said stubbornly: "What if their ancestors are inside that coffin?"

"If it's an heirloom, you should sell it!" Old Zhou said angrily, "If you put it in a coffin, your descendants will starve to death, but if you put it in a bank, several generations will have no worries about food and clothing!"

Their voices were a bit loud and Shi Fei heard them. Shi Fei knew that these two people were probably not from a legitimate background. After all, who would talk about the rule of law and jade in front of a coffin?

Most likely it was tomb robbers.

If I had known not to speak, wouldn’t those two people have opened the coffin?

But he didn't know that he was sealed in a coffin. He thought the people who knocked just now were those magic weapons or other immortals.

It was too late to regret now, so Shi Fei had to pretend to have discovered something and said, "There is a hard object next to my heel, it looks like a piece of something. Do you want to take a look, what is it? Is it worth money?"

Xiao Zhou took a look at the coffin and said, "Dad, that man tricked us into opening the coffin!"

Old Zhou also sneered and said, "Do you think we are fools?"

Would a decent person lock someone in a coffin and then put treasure in it?
Shi Fei said helplessly: "I am not lying, but I am trapped and forced to do so. If you and your son can open this coffin, I will definitely reward you handsomely after I come out! Gold, silver and treasures are not a problem!"

"Forget it!" Old Zhou waved his hand, bowed to the coffin where Shi Fei was, and said, "We just met by chance, so it's better for us to forget each other."

Although they were exhausted today, they had already found a lot of treasures. Now they should find a way to sell these things instead of meddling in other people's business.

The less trouble, the better!
"Let's go!" Old Zhou patted his son's shoulder, and the father and son were about to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave!" Shi Fei couldn't hear what the two were saying, so he shouted quickly: "Hey! Hey!"

He tried hard to break the seal, but the coffin did not move at all.

Old Zhou and Little Zhou left without looking back. They followed the way they came and wanted to take a look inside the chariot and horse pit and the sacrificial pit next to them. There was nothing good in the chariot and horse pit and the sacrificial pit, but the sacrificial pit was full of bones.

When they finally climbed out of the pit and were about to share their joy, they saw a bright light at the foot of the mountain. Their faces changed, and they quickly packed up their things and hurried down the mountain, never to be seen again.

Just like that, they made a fortune unexpectedly, and from then on, their generations would never have to worry about food and drink?

Is Shi Fei still sealed like this? Of course not.

Half a month later, Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou came back again. This time they did not come back on their own, but brought a few policemen with them.

It should not be said that they brought the police, but that the police brought them to identify the crime scene.

The net of justice is vast and nothing can escape it, not to mention that Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou have been targeted for a long time.

Among the policemen, there was one wearing a cape, a cowboy hat, and a pair of big sunglasses. He was not a policeman, but he was with the police.

He was an extra-staff member of the police, commonly known as a temporary worker, and was also Shi Zichen, who had met Shi Fei several times.

He came and looked at the big hole, which looked like a huge rat hole, and said, "You two have great skills. You can actually dig such a big hole!"

Old Zhou no longer had the high spirits he had half a month ago. He said with an old face, "Life is hard, and this is all I have left."

"You said there is a big tomb here?" Shi Zichen squatted down to check the entrance of the cave and said, "Do you know that after this news came out, the Provincial Institute of Archaeology immediately sent people to take a look, and the result was..."

He clapped his hands and said, "We found nothing but a big mud pit."

Lao Zhou hurriedly explained: "I explained it very clearly. That was the situation at the time. That day, my son and I, we..."

He was about to say something when he was stopped by Shi Zichen. Shi Zichen took out two shovels and handed them to Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou, saying in an unquestionable tone: "I'll watch you dig and see what you can dig out!"

It was strange, he was just a temporary worker, but he seemed to be the leader of this group of people. The other policemen took photos and videos as evidence.

Old Zhou and Little Zhou looked at the shovels in their hands, as well as the onlookers, the police and Shi Zichen, and could only start digging helplessly.

Oddly enough, as they were digging they felt the soil was different, but looking at the surroundings and the way the hole was dug, it looked like they had dug it themselves!

They dug several meters underground following the previous traces and saw only pitch-black soil. Where was the big hole? Where was the underground palace?
Isn’t this what I saw and heard that day?
Cold sweat broke out on Lao Zhou's forehead.

"Dad! Something's wrong!" Xiao Zhou was tired from digging and panted, saying, "We should have found it."

"But..." Lao Zhou wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Shi Zichen sneered and said, "The archaeological team used an excavator but couldn't dig anything out. It's strange that you two can dig it out with shovels! Now, where did you dig out all those stolen goods?"

He suspected that the two men were dishonest. They had clearly stolen from the Spring and Autumn tombs, but they refused to admit where they had been dug!
"No...it shouldn't be..." Old Zhou had sweat on his back. He clearly remembered that he dug there at the beginning, so why was it different this time?

"I want to look at the stars, I want to measure the earth's veins!" He kept saying, "There must be something wrong! It shouldn't be like this!"

Shi Zichen looked at Lao Zhou and said, "Well, we'll stay at the foot of the mountain tonight and make you give up!"
