The Unorthodox Tomb Raider
Page 73
At first glance, you can see three coffins in the center of the tomb chamber: a bronze coffin, a wooden coffin, and a stone coffin.
The three coffins were arranged in a peculiar way. The bronze coffin, which was closest to the four people, was suspended in the air by copper rings, while the wooden and stone coffins were located to the left and right of the bronze coffin.
At first glance, the three coffins are arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "人" (person), and the character is even standing upright.
What's most peculiar isn't the way the three coffins are arranged, but rather their size and specifications.
The three coffins are of different sizes, with the bronze coffin being the largest, the wooden coffin medium-sized, and the stone coffin the smallest. Moreover, they are different in shape, material, and specifications, and they seem to be from the Xia, Zhou, and Qin dynasties. The stone coffin is from the Xia dynasty, the wooden coffin is from the Qin dynasty, and the bronze coffin is from the Zhou dynasty.
Realizing that the three people behind him did not have night vision and could not see at night, Fang Yun took out a phosphorescent tube from his pocket, lit it, and threw it out.
Only then did the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, see the scene in the darkness.
"Three coffins?"
“How could there be three coffins? Even if a husband and wife were buried in separate coffins, there should only be two coffins... As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its cubs. King Xian would never allow his descendants to be buried with him.”
Upon seeing the three coffins in front of him, Partridge Whistle's expression changed, and he immediately leaned forward.
But before reaching the bronze coffin, Partridge Whistle suddenly stopped, gripping the two pistols at his waist with both hands.
Seeing Partridge Whistle's serious expression, Flower and the old foreigner also drew their weapons and then asked:
"Senior brother, is something wrong with the coffin?"
"A sunken coffin, a bronze outer coffin—those with weak constitutions should not approach!" At this moment, Fang Yun smiled faintly, walked to the bronze coffin, and gently patted the bronze coffin, saying:
"The reason this bronze coffin is larger than the other two coffins is because it is wrapped with an extra layer of bronze outer coffin."
"And that wooden coffin, it's made of wood from a septic tank, it's called a septic tank coffin!"
Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Hua and the old foreigner's expressions changed drastically.
They had naturally heard the saying, "A sunken coffin, a bronze outer coffin—those with weak birth charts should not approach."
The red-clad fierce man, the smiling corpse, and the ghost's laughter are all taboos in the trade, just as listening to a ghost's cry is better than hearing a ghost's laughter.
The difference is that one describes a ghost, and the other describes a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling).
Both the wooden coffin and the bronze coffin serve the same purpose: to suppress the aura of the Yin corpse!
The fact that a sunken coffin and a bronze outer coffin were used indicates that the object lying in the coffin had risen from the dead before being buried, and was then sealed with a sunken coffin and a bronze outer coffin.
The figure lying there must be extremely fierce, and this fierce character has absorbed the earth's energy for over two thousand years within the ancient immortal cave, the Water Dragon Aura...
Thinking of this, the expressions on their faces grew even more solemn.
"Fang Yun...stop taking pictures of that bronze coffin, come here quickly!" The old foreigner beckoned to Fang Yun, his voice extremely low, afraid of waking whatever was lying inside the bronze coffin.
A small statement
I can only update three times today, I'm feeling really bad... My arm is swollen from the IV drip, and my head hurts even when I shake it. I'm so sorry! I'll update more tomorrow!
Also, thank you everyone. As I write this, very few people have criticized me; most have said that my writing is good. Thank you all for your support.
There are also comments; every single one of them gets deleted by the system, and I have to go and restore them. Sometimes, if I'm too late to restore them, they're completely erased by the system, and I can't even see them anymore. So, if your comments are gone, it means the system deleted them. Please be aware of this; I don't delete them myself.
By the way, I'm going to start a poll now, about the female lead. I'll also start a poll about the plot later. Readers who are interested can participate.
There are limitations on the voting options, so I can't write too many. Therefore, I've divided them into single and multiple contemporary and post-contemporary eras. Of course, the female lead's role won't be too prominent. The main plot revolves around tomb raiding, so don't worry about that. If you don't have any suggestions for options, please leave a comment.
Simply put... since everyone wants me to make money, I have to cater to the majority of readers who are willing to pay and write in a way that they like.
It seems the app can't be used for voting; you have to use the website.
Chapter Ninety-Four: Above the Immortal Realm, the True Form of the King!
"Don't panic. This bronze coffin is secured with nine heavy locks. It's difficult to open from the outside, let alone from the inside."
"Judging from the specifications of these three coffins, these are not the coffins of the Prince Xian."
Seeing the look of panic on the old foreigner's face, Fang Yun pressed his hand down and looked at Partridge Whistle.
"Not the coffin of the Prince of Xian?" Partridge Whistle was taken aback. He looked at the three coffins one by one and thought about it thoughtfully.
"Could it be... the immortal path manifesting in three lifetimes?"
After a long while, Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then these three coffins are not the real coffins of King Xian. They are the three previous lives of King Xian who suffered!"
Upon hearing Partridge Whistle's words, both Flower and the old foreigner looked puzzled. "Senior brother, what does this mean?"
“Look at those three coffins. They are not from the same period. These three coffins represent the three lives of the King Xian in the human world. These three lives are called the Three Hells. In each life, he had to suffer all kinds of hardships, and his final death would be extremely tragic. That’s why these special coffins were used to bury him and suppress him.”
"The Three-Life Coffin and the Three-Life Bridge are both designed for those who wish to attain immortality and belong to Taoist legends. If Brother Fang hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have realized that this is the transformation of immortality into the Three-Life Bridge."
At this point, Partridge Whistle glanced at Fang Yun and sighed:
"Brother Fang is not a Taoist, yet he was able to see the secrets of these three coffins at a glance. He is truly knowledgeable."
"I also saw it in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui," Fang Yun shrugged and smiled.
“These three coffins were clearly not made by King Xian. Moreover, given King Xian’s stature, he would not have buried himself in such a suppressing coffin. He was aiming to attain immortality, so why would he suppress himself?”
"King Xian was also afraid that his three lives would escape, so he must have set up methods to suppress the corpse inside and outside the coffin, so there is no need to worry too much."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, both Hua and the old foreigner nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that the thing in the coffin can't get out. This old zombie from a few years ago... is definitely not easy to deal with, especially since it suffered a lot and died a very tragic death!
It can only be said that the old man, King Xian, was truly insane in his pursuit of immortality, moving other people, coffins and all, into his own tomb.
"Then the coffin of the King of Xian should not be far from here, right?" After calming down, Hua walked to Fang Yun's side and asked in confusion.
"But there are no other coffins here, nor is there a tomb passage."
Hearing Hua's words, Fang Yun shook his head helplessly and pinched Hua's cheek, "You don't believe me when I say you're a complete novice, can't you tell even after I've said this much?"
"Heaven and earth, the celestial realm and the netherworld!"
At this moment, Partridge Whistle said something excitedly, first looking up at the top of the tomb, then looking down at his feet.
"Achieving immortality and attaining eternal life is not an easy feat."
"Before becoming an immortal, one must undergo a complete transformation and experience tribulations. However, these tribulations are ordained by Heaven and cannot be forced. Thus, the saying arose that one must seek out the three past lives and the tribulations experienced by the three generations of the ruler. These three past lives can be taken into the tomb to prove to Heaven and Earth that one has experienced the tribulations of the three lifetimes."
"If there are three lifetimes, there will definitely be a Shadow Bone!"
"Shadow Bones represent the tribulations of these three lifetimes. They are made up of the most severely injured and tortured parts of the bones from these three lifetimes, and are pieced together to form a complete Shadow Bones."
"The Shadow Bone is a calamity, destined for the Netherworld; the body spans three lifetimes, destined to remain in the mortal realm!"
Partridge Whistle became more and more excited as he spoke. When he got to this point, he pointed directly to the top of the tomb, his eyes reddening as he smiled, his tone firm.
"King Xian's true form is in the Celestial Realm!"
"Zagrama, we've finally arrived here!"
Looking at the excited Partridge Whistle, Fang Yun nodded to himself.
This is one of the advantages of having a reliable teammate: strong skills and broad knowledge, so you don't need them to explain things or lead the way.
However, this Prince Xian was truly a talented individual; his understanding of feng shui and the path to immortality was unparalleled.
Perhaps... if King Xian were to lie in the water dragon's halo for several thousand more years, he could indeed be revived by the dragon's energy flowing into his body.
"Heh...it's just that you took something you shouldn't have."
After a moment of reflection, Fang Yun brought his thoughts back to the present.
Now is not the time for sentimentality; let's get our hands on the Muchen Pearl first!
Like Fang Yun, Partridge Whistle was also unwilling to delay any longer. He found a tomb beam and climbed up it, carefully tapping on the white tomb roof.
After tapping the top of the tomb with the butt of his rifle for a moment, Partridge Whistle's face lit up with joy, and he said excitedly to Fang Yun and the other two below in a deep voice:
· ·········Request flowers· ···
"found it!"
"Brother Fang, may I borrow your Yin-Probing Claw?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and tossed the Yin-Detecting Claw to Partridge Whistle.
As Fang Yun watched Partridge Whistle use his groping claws to peel away a layer of white 'tomb bricks,' his smile vanished.
The giant Tai Sui shell... this giant Tai Sui completely enclosed the main tomb chamber of King Xian.
"Indeed, it's a hidden paradise!"
After removing the white rock, a blue tomb brick appeared before his eyes. Upon seeing this tomb brick, Partridge Whistle's face lit up with even greater joy. After returning the Yin-Searching Claw to Fang Yun, he suddenly pushed the tomb brick.
Click...
With a scraping sound, Partridge Whistle quickly pried open the tomb bricks on his head.
.... .. ...
"It's a tomb passage. I'll go ahead and explore!"
After peering into the passageway twice, Partridge Whistle went straight inside.
"Let's go up too." After saying this to Hua and the old foreigner, Fang Yun climbed up the tomb beam and crawled into the passage.
The passage is steep and sloping upwards, and climbing it is like climbing up a funnel. Fortunately, the passage is not long, only two or three meters long.
After passing through the funnel opening, the group of four arrived at the body of the funnel.
Here is a funnel-shaped circular space, and the whole space looks like a miniature water dragon's halo.
