Zhang Tian looked at the corpse.
He suspected that the person in front of him was King Lu Shang!
In the original plot, this tomb in Shang Zhou was burned down by Wu Xie.
This prevented the large-scale attack of the corpse beetles.
However, the true King Lu Shang remained missing.
And beneath the jade suit was that bronze-masked strategist. Thus, Zhang Tian boldly speculated that the person in front of him, impaled by a sword through the chest,
and guarded by the Four Heavenly Kings, was King Lu Shang.
"However, I haven't seen this tomb in the TV series before. Could it be that the two worlds have merged, and that's why it appeared?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Tian felt it wasn't so bizarre anymore.
Zhang Tian took the jade pendant from the coffin.
This was what he needed.
"King Lu Shang fought in all directions throughout his life, and he also saved the emperor at the time by scaling walls and rooftops. His skills are evident. This jade pendant should contain his lifelong learning."
With that in mind, Zhang Tian carefully placed the jade pendant in his backpack.
He then looked at the candles.
They were still perfectly fine.
"Boss, why don't we take this sword? This thing looks good."
Fatty's eyes lit up as he looked at the sword stuck in the chest.
Fatty had no immunity to anything shiny and golden.
This was evident from him taking the golden bowl.
Zhang Tian looked at the sword stuck in the corpse and a description already appeared in his mind.
"Item: Sword of Suppressing Evil! Origin Unknown!"
"Function: Suppresses evil, presses corpses, can deter malevolent spirits, slay ghosts, and possesses the ability to deliver a fatal blow with a single stroke."
"Item Description: Obtained by the strategist by chance from an ancient tomb. This sword is incredibly sharp, and the strategist cherished it deeply."
"Sword of Suppressing Evil?"
Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
"Fatty, don't touch this sword carelessly."
Zhang Tian quickly said. Although he liked this sword too.
However, once the sword was pulled out, the corpse would transform.
With their abilities, they wouldn't be able to withstand the vengeful spirit of King Lu Shang.
Zhang Tian finally understood why the candles hadn't changed color.
It turned out that King Lu Shang was sealed.
"Ah, what a waste of such a good treasure. Boss, you should take it. Maybe it will be useful."
Fatty said, still somewhat reluctant.
After all, it was a treasure.
Zhang Tian grabbed Fatty's hand.
"Some things cannot be touched. If this sword is pulled out, the corpse will transform."
Zhang Tian's expression was serious.
Fatty hesitated for a moment and said no more.
He had originally wanted to say something about being raised under the red flag, but the previous蛟蛇 had already terrified him enough.
"Alright, let's see if there's anything else inside. If there is, we'll take it. If not, we'll leave."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty lifted King Lu Shang's corpse.
Because the sword was stuck in him, the thing was surprisingly submissive.
"Look, Boss, there's a sword!"
Underneath King Lu Shang's corpse, there was another sword.
It was estimated to be King Lu Shang's personal sword.
Zhang Tian's heart trembled.
This thing was much more formidable than the Broken Sword.
Zhang Tian did not hesitate and took out the personal sword from underneath.
"Item: King Lu Shang's Personal Sword, High-grade Magic Tool."
"Function: Can unleash sword energy, can slay ten thousand demons with a single strike, can break through the armor of demonic creatures."
"Item Description: King Lu Shang's personal sword. King Lu Shang plundered ancient tombs for many years and slew countless ghosts. This sword carries a malevolent aura, capable of driving away ghosts and suppressing evil."
Looking at the golden-hilted longsword in his hand, Zhang Tian was filled with affection.
Fatty, on the other hand, looked over slyly.
"Heh heh, Boss, since you have a new magic weapon, then, that little broken sword, how about, heh heh."
Fatty winked his eyes.
His expression was almost disgusting.
"Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that. It's late at night, it's creepy."
Zhang Tian quickly told Fatty to stop, a chill running down his spine.
This guy had been single for too long, and even ghosts looked pretty and charming to him.
Saying that, Zhang Tian gave the Broken Sword to Fatty, who accepted it with delight.
"Don't worry, Old Hu, if there's a chance in the future, I'll get one for you too."
Zhang Tian naturally had not forgotten Hu Bayi.
He was the designated great contributor in Zhang Tian's eyes.
"Haha, I don't care, as long as Fatty is here."
Although he said that, Hu Bayi's eyes were still full of envy.
After all, they had seen how powerful the Broken Sword was. With one strike, it had gouged out the eyes of the 蛟蛇.
How could that not be amazing?
"Let's see if there's anything else."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty excitedly lifted the corpse.
Besides gold and jewelry, there was a woman's handkerchief in the coffin.
Nothing else.
"Let's go, Fatty. Put the corpse back properly, and don't touch the little sword."
Zhang Tian instructed. Fatty carefully put the corpse back.
Immediately after, Fatty quietly took the handkerchief and then closed the coffin lid.
At this moment, after the coffin lid was closed, Zhang Tian noticed that the candles had actually started to change color.
And they were flickering.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian instantly understood.
It wasn't that King Lu Shang wasn't going to attack them, but that King Lu Shang wanted to use them to pull out the short sword.
Who knew that Zhang Tian and his companions stubbornly refused to pull it out, and even took away his personal sword and the handkerchief of his beloved woman.
This was an even greater insult.
For a moment, King Lu Shang was somewhat enraged.
"This... Boss, the lights seem to have changed color."
"Are you trying to scare Fatty?"
Fatty, holding the Broken Sword, looked nervous.
"Buzz buzz."
Just as Zhang Tian was preparing to lead them to escape, the eyes of the surrounding Four Heavenly Kings lit up.
The next moment, the light shone directly onto the coffin.
King Lu Shang's coffin instantly dispelled its malevolent aura.
"Holy crap, lasers?"
"Boss, this is high-tech! Let's move these stone statues!"
Fatty had never seen such a scene before and was frozen by the sight of the Four Heavenly Kings.
"If you can do it, you go ahead. Old Hu, we should leave. This thing can suppress once, but it doesn't mean it can suppress a second time."
Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi nodded, and then the group began to head back towards the tomb they had previously mapped out.
With the equipment, Lin Tian naturally intended to challenge the coffin on the altar.
Inside that coffin, there should be a blood corpse.
That blood corpse was the original owner of this Shang Zhou tomb.
But it had been discarded here by someone else.
Zhang Tian had King Lu Shang's personal sword. As long as it dared to come out, Zhang Tian dared to cut it.
With a strike that dealt 999 damage.
"Boss, aren't we leaving our antiques?"
Fatty was still reluctant about the antiques that were hidden away.
"We can't carry them out. The backpacks we can use are limited. I've packed corpse beetles, so I can't fit much else."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, looking unconcerned.
These items were hidden. Unless the tomb collapsed, even burning them might not destroy them.
However, what Zhang Tian worried about was whether Wu Xie and his group would cause the tomb to collapse when they entered.
If it collapsed, it would be a waste of cultural relics.
Zhang Tian thought for a moment.
"How about this, Fatty, give me your shovel. The three of us will each take one, and we'll dig a pit on the east side and bury these things."
Zhang Tian said. Both of them looked puzzled.
"Boss, why?"
"Yeah, why bury these things?"
Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty were somewhat confused.
"To prevent them from being dug up by tomb robbers. Moreover, tomb robbers are very good at destroying cultural relics. For example, Cao Cao's Mojin Xiaowei were infamous for their wanton destruction of tombs. Therefore, by burying them, we are giving these cultural relics a chance to survive, and experts can also find them later."
Zhang Tian explained. The others nodded.
Hu Bayi did not object, as he knew this was the truth.
"I understand. Later, we'll give them the coordinates of where we buried them, which will also count as a donation."
Fatty clapped his hands. The three of them immediately set to work, digging a pit in the corner, carefully placing the items inside, and gently burying them.
They then covered it with bluestone bricks, making it perfect.
It was completely undetectable.
The three nodded and then walked towards the side tomb chamber.
At this moment, everyone present had their mouths wide open.
Their faces were filled with disbelief.
