One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 47 Tomb
At this moment, Mr. Xu only felt a burning pain on his face.

As a veteran expert in the tomb-robbing industry, all the tombs he has robbed are original.

He would never go to a second-hand grave that had already been opened by someone else, and he would not bother to eat other people's leftovers.

And now he actually made a mistake?

Came to a second-hand tomb!

But the problem is that the Dragon Breaking Stone hasn't been opened yet, so how did the other party get in? !

Chiseling the mountain? This is a huge undertaking. Even with modern technology, without the help of large-scale machinery, it would take years to dig manually.

But no matter what, since everyone has come here, they must go into the tomb and take a look.

It would be clear once you entered the tomb whether anyone had been there before.

Everyone had already made corresponding preparations for the pit trap in front of them. Lao Li took out a telescopic ladder from his backpack, extended it to a distance of seven or eight meters, and placed it over the pit.

Cao Man then took the lead and walked carefully through the trap. She held a long whip in her hand and was very alert, but nothing happened until they walked through the pit trap.

"Safety."

Everyone nodded, and after walking past the stairs, Lao Li folded them up again.

As everyone walked deeper, they saw several triggered traps.

The fallen tomb roof, various dart machines shot out from both sides, and some traces of sprayed poisonous smoke.

Judging from the traps that had been triggered, it was almost certain that someone had been here before them.

Old Xu's expression became increasingly gloomy until Cao Man in front of him let out a scream.

"Look, what is this!"

Hearing Cao Man's exclamation, everyone hurried over to check.

When they saw that thing, everyone's face changed drastically.

A circular hole about the size of a basketball appeared on one side of the cave wall.

A slight breeze came from the cave entrance, and it was obvious that this cave entrance was connected to the outside world.

Everyone gathered together, staring blankly at the hole. If this was a place where living people lived, then this hole might be used for ventilation, but this was a tomb! From a design perspective, a place where the dead lived didn't need ventilation holes at all!
"This is a robbery hole!"

Old Li looked at it for a while and suddenly said, then added another sentence.

"This group of tomb robbers came in through this tunnel."

"Coming in through this tunnel?"

Suti took a look at the basketball-sized hole.

Can this thing enter people?

Old Li understood his eyes instantly.

“I can, but I can’t get in.”

Seeing Suti's gaze, Lao Li explained.

"In the hole-drilling industry, we have always used the ability to drill and punch as the standard. The smaller the hole, the higher the technical requirements. For example, the maximum I can drill is a 42-centimeter hole and drill into it. This is my limit."

"But some of the old masters were born with small frames and practiced bone shrinking skills, so their bodies can support them to make smaller holes."

Suti took out a portable measuring tape from his backpack and measured it, his eyes became even weirder.

"Are you sure someone can get through a 35-centimeter hole?"

"Yes, although I have never seen one, there should be such people."

On this side, Old Li was still explaining to Su Ti, while on the other side, Old Xu was rubbing the hole, and suddenly his expression changed.

"Old Li, you've made a mistake this time. I'm afraid this really isn't a robbery hole."

"What kind of hole could this be?"

Since it was related to his profession, Mr. Li didn't care about anything else and started arguing with Mr. Xu.

Old Xu withdrew his hand and stroked his beard with a strange look in his eyes.

"You may not believe this, but this is probably a snake hole."

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Snake, a snake with a diameter of 35 centimeters!"

You may not have any idea how long 35 centimeters is, but a box of 30 cartons of milk is only centimeters long, and the waist length of many adult women may not be centimeters.

A snake with a diameter of 35 centimeters is a size that only a few pythons in the world can reach! No, it is likely to exceed the largest python in the world!

Everyone still couldn't believe it.

Old Li said, "Mr. Xu, even if this is really a snake, this is solid rock. How could it dig a hole and get here?"

Mr. Xu shook his head.

"You may not be able to see it, but this hole has no signs of human digging. Based on my many years of experience, it is a snake hole."

"And the most important thing is you look at what this is."

As Old Xu spoke, he reached in and actually took something out from the cave wall. Everyone came closer to take a look. Under the light, the thing was sparkling. It turned out to be a scale!
This scale was actually the size of a shell, golden in color, and sparkling under the light.

Suti looked at the glittering golden scale and asked hesitantly, "Could this scale be a pangolin scale?"

Mr. Xu shook his head.

"This is a snake scale. Although it's a little bigger, its shape is exactly that of a snake scale. That's why I'm so sure this is a snake cave."

Everyone then believed what Old Xu said, but they still looked at the scale in disbelief.

"If there really is such a big snake, then wouldn't it be a spirit?"

Mr. Xu nodded.

"Yes, it is possible to become a spirit, but it is generally called a demon."

Hearing the new word "monster", Suti instantly became interested.

"Mr. Xu, may I ask what this monster is?"

Old Xu stroked his beard.

"I know a little about monsters. They have some things in common with evil spirits. They both like to eat people, but I don't know the rest. It is said that the ancient martial arts world knows more about monsters. Brother Su Xiu, you are from the ancient martial arts world. Logically, you should know more about monsters than I do."

Su Ti smiled. He knew nothing. He had only been in the ancient martial arts world for a short time and Long Yuanzheng hadn’t told him.

But the situation we need to consider now is not who knows more about monsters, but
"Mr. Xu, is this monster still in the cave? Should we retreat?"

Old Li hesitated.

A python with a diameter of 35 centimeters is thicker than the waist of many women, so its length must be at least ten meters, or even more than twenty meters!
This kind of monster, you can imagine how powerful it is, and how destructive it is.

And judging from the extent of the damage to the trap, the monster was not injured at all, as there was no stain of blood in the trap at all. In addition, the monster was able to dig a hole in the hard rock, which shows how powerful the monster is!
Su Ti made a rough estimate and his face became a little gloomy.

The demon's strength was estimated to be above the Hunyuan realm. He had no way of guessing what realm it had reached. In short, he would definitely not be able to defeat it.

Old Xu sniffed inside the cave and shook his head.

"Don't worry. I've dealt with snakes many times before, and I know the smell of snakes very well. The smell of snakes in this tomb is very, very faint, which means that this snake demon has been gone for a very long time."

"Although we don't know why this snake demon entered this tomb, from the traces it shows that this tomb has been explored by the snake demon and the traps have been destroyed. Even if there are evil spirits inside, they should have been killed by the snake demon. It should be safe now. Let's go in and see what's going on."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they had no objection.

The rest of the journey was very smooth. After passing through a passage full of destroyed mechanisms and traps, the end of the passage was the tomb chamber.

Princes and nobles often paid attention to pomp and circumstance, and when building a tomb, they would often build multiple different tombs.

At this time, at the end of the passage, Su Ti and others were facing this situation. There were three stone doors in the middle and on the left and right displayed in front of everyone.

The stone gate in the middle is the largest and most luxurious, with many patterns and flying dragons carved on it.

The stone gate on the left is the second largest, mainly featuring birds, but it is also quite majestic.

Only the stone gate on the right was gray and not eye-catching at all.

Looking at the three stone doors, Old Xu pondered for a while and said.

"The middle one is the main one, the left one is the secondary one, and the right one is the side one. The main chamber is the tomb of the owner of the tomb, while the secondary chamber is mostly for the buried with nobles, such as wives, concubines, and the last side chamber is for the servants and other buried alive."

"Generally speaking, the main tomb is the most dangerous, but it also has the most benefits. The side chambers have basically no traps, but they also don't have much benefits. They are mostly the bones of people who were buried alive. So, considering the compromise, let's go to the secondary tomb where the concubines are buried first."

Everyone nodded without objection. Then Lao Li stood in front and carefully pushed open the stone door of the secondary tomb chamber. Suti and the others stayed away from him.

It's simple, this is a job that requires careful planning. If there is any trap or mechanism in the tomb, it will usually be triggered the moment the door is opened. However, the door cannot be opened, so the person who opens the door will take a huge risk.

At this time, Old Li's forehead was also sweating. He pushed the stone door open little by little, ready to fall to the ground immediately if anything went wrong. But until he opened the stone door completely, nothing happened. Only a rotten smell came from the door. Everyone hurriedly retreated and stood outside the entrance for a long time. After the smell inside was completely gone, Cao Man took over Old Li's position and walked in carefully holding a torch.

Cao Man walked around inside and checked carefully. After confirming that there were no traps or mechanisms, he invited the three people in.

This is a stone chamber with three stone coffins placed in order from high to low.

"These are King Mu's wives and concubines during his lifetime. They are arranged in order of status from the lowest to the highest when buried with him after his death."

Old Xu looked at the three coffins and said in a deep voice.

The mechanisms and traps had already been checked by Lao Li and Cao Man, and now it was time to check the harvest.

The stone chamber was not big, and everyone used torches to light the way, and quickly searched the chamber thoroughly.

In addition to these three coffins, there are many stone platforms in the stone chamber, which surround the coffins like stars surrounding the moon, and on them are placed a large number of gold and silver jewelry, gems, jade and other items.

These are the burial objects of King Mu’s wives and concubines.

Tomb robbing is a highly profitable industry. Xu Lao and others have suffered so much and even paid the price of death, all for this moment.

They took out their gloves and put all the gold and silver jewelry into an empty backpack they had brought with them, waiting to identify them one by one when they returned.

During this period, Suti also wore gloves and reached out to touch the jewelry one by one.

But it is a pity that although these gold and silver jewelry are priceless, there is not a single cursed antique among them.

Seeing Su Ti's actions and disappointed expression, Mr. Xu also laughed and guessed what he was thinking.

"You warriors have a keen sense. If I'm not mistaken, none of these burial objects should be cursed antiques."

Su Ti nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Mr. Xu is indeed well-informed and well-speaking."

Mr. Xu smiled when he heard this.

"Although the gold, silver and jewelry buried with the deceased are valuable, the most valuable thing is what is inside the coffin."

"Because the burial objects that are close to the body usually have a high probability of producing cursed antiques."

As he said this, he winked, and Lao Li nodded, then walked forward to open the coffin.

These coffins are not wooden coffins, but stone coffins, so they have not decayed at all after so many years.

Old Li took great effort to push open the lid of a coffin, but when he looked inside his face froze.

"Come and see for yourselves!"

Everyone went up to take a look.

In the sarcophagus was placed a corpse that had turned into dry bones.

But there was nothing but corpses.
There was nothing inside except a rotten corpse with tattered clothes.

"Where are the burial objects? There are so many burial objects outside, how could there be nothing inside the coffin?! Where are the night-light pearls, jade pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and rings buried with the coffin?!"

Old Xu's face changed and he exclaimed in surprise. He looked carefully again and even searched it through, only to find that there was indeed nothing.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately went to the other two unopened coffins. After carefully studying them with a torch, he discovered an astonishing fact.

"These two coffins, no! These three coffins have been opened!"

After these words were spoken, even Cao Man, who visited tombs all year round, felt a chill down his spine.

Su Ti frowned and asked.

"Who is it? Is it that snake demon? It's impossible. It's just a snake. How did it open the coffin?"

"I don't know. This place is too weird. We'd better not stay here for long. Come on, Lao Li, open the remaining two coffins."

Old Xu also hurriedly instructed Old Li, who nodded and did as he was told, then pushed open the lids of the two coffins.

Inside, everything was the same as before, except for the corpse that had turned into dry bones.

The cursed antique that Suti was expecting did not appear.

Everyone looked at each other and felt that the atmosphere was very strange. They packed up the things in the secondary tomb chamber and went to another tomb chamber together.

In the side tomb chamber, Lao Li pushed the door to deflate the air, Cao Man checked the trap, and it took a while for everyone to enter.

The side tomb chamber contained not the bodies of King Mu's wives and concubines, but a large number of burial companions.

Inside the tomb, there were a large number of corpses lying in all directions. There were so many of them, nearly a hundred of them.

A strong smell of decay came from the room. Everyone hurriedly checked and after confirming that there were no relics, they retreated and closed the door.

"This is a burial room. The bodies are of servants or slaves. There are no burial objects inside. This is very abnormal. Even servants and slaves should have some jewelry on them. There are so many bodies without even a ring. It's too weird. Or maybe the burial objects inside were taken away."

Cursed antiques are mostly personal belongings. A large number of burial objects in the secondary tomb chamber are still there, but the things in the coffin have been taken away. The personal jewelry of the people buried in the side tomb chamber is also nowhere to be found. This shows that only the cursed antiques were taken away!

Combined with the previous snake cave and the snake demon that Old Xu mentioned, an incredible idea came into everyone's mind.

The reason why the snake demon dug a hole in the tomb was to take away all the cursed antiques in the tomb!

"Let's go and take a look at the main tomb chamber."

After exploring the two tombs, the crowd, who did not find any cursed antiques, finally turned their attention to the main tomb.

Logically speaking, for a tomb-robbing trip, the main tomb chamber would have the greatest rewards, but it was also the most risky.

Because no one knows what kind of mechanisms and traps are inside.

According to the rules of tomb robbing, no matter how dangerous and how many traps there are in the main tomb chamber, the tomb robbers must go in together in the end and bear the risks together.

Everyone looked at each other, Old Xu nodded slightly, and Old Li stepped forward and slowly pushed open the door of the main tomb chamber.

With a creaking sound, a stream of foul air was expelled from inside. Everyone hurriedly stepped back a long distance, waiting for the foul air to be expelled before walking inside.

As soon as they walked in, a cold breath came from inside. Everyone shivered unconsciously, and even the flames on the torches dimmed instantly.

Old Xu said in a deep voice: "Such a heavy Yin energy, this is probably the source of the entire Yin meridian, the place with the heaviest Yin energy!"

Everyone here feels a chill on their backs. It is an energy field that is completely negative to human beings.

At this time, the torches that everyone was holding could only illuminate the area two meters in front of them. For places farther away, only very vague outlines could be seen.

The main tomb chamber is so vast that even the vague outline cannot reveal its end. One can only vaguely see several rock pillars with carvings of soaring dragons standing inside the tomb chamber.

These huge stone pillars, which can be hugged by one person, support the weight of the main tomb chamber.

The further they walked, the colder the feeling became, and the weaker the flames became.

Su Ti looked back and found that he had only walked about five meters when he could no longer see the way back. He also couldn't see how big the tomb was. In short, he couldn't see the boundary yet.

At this moment, a feeling of being spied on entered his heart.

"Everyone be careful, there seems to be something evil here."

Suti had been spied on by evil spirits many times, so he naturally understood what this feeling was and he completely trusted his intuition from the fifth level of internal training.

Everyone's expressions tensed when they heard this.

Then they carefully leaned against each other and slowly walked forward.

It has come to this point, they will never back down until they get what they want.

Old Xu held the torch and pulled out the black pistol from his arms with one hand.

Old Li took out a telescopic baton from his waist and held it in his hand, and Cao Man also untied the long whip from his waist.

The group walked forward for about a few dozen meters, and the light of the torches became dimmer and dimmer. When the light of the torches was so weak that it could only illuminate the area 1.5 meters in front of them, they stepped on a step.
Old Xu took the torch and shone it upwards, his face lit up with joy.

"We're here, and in front of us is the coffin of the tomb's owner!"

Everyone looked up and could vaguely see a high platform at the top of the steps, and on the platform sat a huge sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus is huge, about one and a half meters high. It is carved entirely from rock, with several stone dragons flying on it.

This is King Mu’s coffin!
"According to Feng Shui, King Mu's coffin is located at the center of the origin of this Yin vein. All the Yin energy converges towards this point."

Old Li was stunned when he heard this.

"With such a strong negative energy, King Mu won't become evil?"

Mr. Xu said in a deep voice.

"No, evil spirits are not that easy to transform. Unless there is a huge resentment and unwillingness, no amount of Yin energy can turn a corpse into an evil spirit."

"People who become evil spirits are mostly those who were born in humble circumstances, suffered humiliation and torture, and died suddenly. They harbor hatred and resentment. How could an emperor who has enjoyed wealth and splendor throughout his life be such a person? So don't worry."

Su Ti glanced around vigilantly. He could feel that while everyone was talking, there were many different pairs of eyes staring at him and them. He said in a deep voice.

"I don't know if King Mu's coffin has been opened. Go up and take a look. Be careful. There seem to be more and more eyes around."

Everyone nodded, and just as they stepped onto the stairs, they heard a bang and the door of the tomb was closed!
