"What big black rat just darted out?"
The fatty shivered all over, and the spot where he fell was shattered by him into a small xylophone.
Hu Bayi also got up from the ground, looking at the ceiling, and felt a strange sensation.
Zhang Tian was fine, not as disheveled as the other two, but the sudden event had startled him.
"A head, it looked like a head."
Yingzi's voice trembled slightly.
It seemed that only Yingzi among those present had seen what the black shadow was.
"A head?"
The few people were stunned, especially Zhang Tian. He had just seen that the princess inside was gone, so how could there still be a head?
And it had survived for thousands of years?
"Let's not worry about that thing for now. Since it didn't harm us, it means we have time."
Zhang Tian's voice was not loud; he was more curious now about what was inside.
The light shone into the princess's coffin.
At this moment, the princess in the coffin had become a shriveled corpse, and the inside was a mess, with bloodstains on the coffin.
The whole scene looked as if something like a great battle had occurred inside the coffin.
"Boss, do you think this is the princess fighting someone?"
Fatty said, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi gave Fatty a speechless look.
"Look at these bloodstains, and didn't you notice, there's another skeleton in the coffin?"
Hu Bayi said, and Fatty rubbed his head.
"Alas, a pair of lovers in life and death."
Fatty sighed, and Zhang Tian looked inside, speaking slowly.
"It's likely that someone attempted to rob the tomb and was killed by the princess. That head might be the head of this tomb robber."
Lin Tian said, his gaze falling on a jade pendant inside.
It seemed to be the only jade pendant in this coffin.
Zhang Tian's divine sense entered.
"Qimen Dunjia technique."
Looking at the item inside, Zhang Tian was startled, and then ecstatic. He needed this item very much.
Qimen Dunjia, this was something for divination.
Back in the days of the Nine Gates, the Qi family, Qi Tieze, was a fortune-teller, yet he managed to thrive.
And the most important thing was fortune-telling.
Qimen Dunjia, divination was even stronger.
This was a lost art, and he, Zhang Tian, had found it today.
But why would this thing be here?
Zhang Tian was curious. After picking up the jade pendant, he moved the princess's corpse.
In the coffin, he discovered a similar token.
It was a token of a Mojin Xiaowei.
"It must be that one of the Xiaowei who was skilled in divination came here and was killed instead."
Zhang Tian thought to himself, he was also quite curious about divination.
"Boss, is there only one piece of jade in here?"
Seeing the emptiness inside, Fatty was even more depressed.
After finally entering the princess's tomb, all they got was a jade pendant.
"One is enough. And this time, we have benefited greatly from coming down here."
"When we get out, we'll anonymously donate the addresses of these two places. Since we've already taken what we wanted, there's no need to leave it for other tomb robbers."
Zhang Tian said softly. Fatty and Hu Bayi grinned.
"Boss, you're so wicked, but Fatty likes it so much."
Fatty said with a sly look, feigning shyness.
Zhang Tian felt a slight nausea in his stomach.
"Boss, do you still remember the iron chains on the cliff outside when we came before? I think there should be something on top."
Hu Bayi said softly.
He still had a vivid memory of those chains.
The chains ran through the entire mountain range, and more outrageously, the chains were very thick and bottomless.
"Shall we go out and take a look?"
Zhang Tian also remembered those chains.
They were very strange. Normally, chains couldn't be so large and make such a big commotion.
It was as if they were deliberately locking something up.
"Let's check the surroundings first. If there's nothing, we can go out and take a look."
Zhang Tian said, and Hu Bayi nodded. The few of them carefully examined the surroundings.
Zhang Tian called back the small turtle.
The small turtle had gone somewhere to eat and still had bits of bone and meat on its teeth.
Zhang Tian put the small turtle into his backpack.
Soon, the group had checked the entire surrounding area.
Indeed, there was nothing, not even a single treasure or mechanism. The princess's tomb seemed very simple.
Apart from the ancient zithers and the gemstone coffin, there was nothing else.
"It must have been taken by that group of Mojin."
Hu Bayi said casually. Zhang Tian found nothing either, so the group didn't look further and left the princess's tomb with their belongings.
Upon exiting, the zither music was still playing.
It was as if the princess herself was playing.
There was a melody, but no sheet music.
"Strange, when we were inside, the sound stopped, but now that we're out, it's gotten louder."
Fatty muttered involuntarily.
"It's likely due to the wind tunnel effect. The outside is hollow, so even a faint sound inside can be amplified."
Zhang Tian said softly.
This tomb was like a giant loudspeaker. The wind blew through the tomb, and then through the passages, the sound traveled to the entire space.
"It's hard not to believe that ancient people had great wisdom."
Zhang Tian said softly.
Hu Bayi, meanwhile, was leaning on the wooden railing.
Looking at the chains in the distance.
The chains seemed to be swaying slightly.
"Boss, I have a feeling that something like an animal is locked up there."
Fatty asked, looking at the chains thicker than his neck, his voice trembling slightly.
His words were not without reason; the chains were indeed swaying, which felt very strange.
Zhang Tian looked at the chains, and he looked down, finding them to be bottomless.
"I guess it's a guardian beast."
Zhang Tian thought of the giant snake they had encountered before. If his guess was correct, whatever was inside was at least on the same level as the giant snake.
Its size must be enormous, but why it was chained up, no one knew.
"If it's a guardian beast, I think it's better if we don't get involved."
Hu Bayi said. They had already had a difficult time dealing with the giant snake, and this one was clearly even more powerful.
Zhang Tian looked at the chains, and at the top of the chains, he found a large character: Wei!
The truth was now revealed.
This tomb had been plundered long ago, and most outrageously, by Mojin Xiaowei. And the guardian beast inside had been directly locked up.
"Lao Hu, we should leave. This place has already been looted, and it was done by people from the Mojin sect."
Zhang Tian said, and Hu Bayi nodded.
"I didn't expect them to be faster than us."
Hu Bayi said no more.
After all, no one would have expected that the Jin Dynasty tomb would be suspected of being plundered.
Zhang Tian didn't know what the Jin Dynasty tomb looked like in the original story, but this was definitely a result of the fusion of two worlds.
Zhang Tian didn't know if the tombs ahead would be looted, he only hoped they wouldn't be.
"Forget it, we've already obtained so many things, which is quite good. Let's go."
Zhang Tian said, and the group nodded. Their few days of descending into the tomb had left everyone physically and mentally exhausted.
Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to go back. Yingzi now felt that the village's survival to this day was truly a blessing.
