Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Before Zhang Qiling could take a closer look, Zhang Hanyan had already reached out and picked up the ring, and put it into her backpack under his puzzled gaze.

This scene reminded him of the time when they were together in the library in the courtyard of the Zhang family's headman. She did the same thing, tearing off the illustrations from the ancient books with a clean and neat manner.

"Yan Yan, what are you doing with this?"

"Someone will pay a lot of money for this thing."

"Who?"

“Jude Kao, although he is still alive today, his body has long been broken and he has long wanted to give up living, but he cannot die even though he wants to.

These two rings can send him off, allowing him to leave this world easily."

"Why can't he die when he wants to?"

“Well… I can’t explain it in detail, but I only know that he has acquired the ability to survive for a long time like the Zhang family through an unknown method.

But he cannot stay young forever like the Zhang family. His body and appearance will still age, but the process is very slow.

His body is gradually dying, but his life is still long. This is a torture, so he now urgently wants to die.

He sent Aning to wander around the ancient tombs in order to find a way to seek death. So, I told Chen Wenjin before that Qiu Dekao and "it" had different goals. "

Zhang Qiling stood there thoughtfully, thinking over every sentence and every word Zhang Hanyan said.

"Yan Yan, how do you know this?"

"Master Jie Jiu told me. Well, there's nothing interesting here. Let's go to the fifth floor and take a look."

Zhang Hanyan seemed to avoid Zhang Qiling's probing gaze, turned around and strode out of the room.

Zhang Qiling looked back at the name engraved on the coffin, his eyes darkened, he turned and walked out of the room, chasing after Zhang Hanyan in front of him.

Compared to the small rooms on the fourth floor, every room on the fifth floor is very large, and the coffins placed inside are more exquisite.

They opened a coffin at random, and found a dazzling array of burial objects inside. Any one of them was a priceless treasure.

The body was preserved very well, the clothes on the body were intact, and there was no sign of decay.

"It seems that this floor is full of deceased Zhang family elders. They hold high positions in the Zhang family. No wonder they can each get such a large room."

Zhang Hanyan looked at the clothes on the corpse. His clothes were exactly the same as those of the elders in the Council of Elders, with wide sleeves and silver cloud patterns.

"If this floor is filled with elders from the Council of Elders, what will the sixth floor be like?"

Zhang Qiling stared at the corpse in the coffin in deep thought, his face as cold as ice.

The middle room on the fourth floor holds the body of the previous patriarch of the Zhang family, and the fifth floor holds the bodies of the elders of the Council of Elders.

The most prestigious members of the Zhang family can only be placed on the fourth and fifth floors. What should be placed on the sixth, seventh and eighth floors?

He felt a little curious about what was in the rooms on the floors above.

He is actually higher than the deceased patriarch and elders.

"Let's go up and take a look and we'll know. Come on, brother, I'm also curious about what is more important than these elders."

Zhang Hanyan pulled Zhang Qiling up and walked away, going straight up the stairs to the sixth floor.

The sixth floor is spacious and magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings. Even though it is covered in dust, one can still see how magnificent it was when it was first built.

Looking around the entire sixth floor, there are only ten rooms. Without even going in, you can imagine how big each room is.

After all, each floor of the Zhang family ancient building is at least two thousand square meters. There are about one thousand rooms on the fourth floor alone, and there are more than five hundred rooms on the fifth floor.

But there are only ten rooms on the sixth floor.

"If the sixth floor is so luxurious, then shouldn't the seventh and eighth floors be even more spectacular? What's inside them?"

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling walked to a big door with full of doubts, reached out to push the door, and dust fell down.

Zhang Qiling quickly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly in his arms. He turned around, and the fallen dust covered his back, but her body was not stained at all.

"Hey little brother, are you stupid? You blocked the dust for me, and the dust fell on you. Come on, change your clothes."

She pulled herself out of his arms, took out a clean piece of clothing and handed it to him.

Under her unquestioning gaze, he smiled, took off his dusty clothes, took the clothes from her hand and put them on.

"Okay, let's go in."

He held out his hand, a smile escaping his lips, and she sighed softly, pulling out a powerful flashlight and placing it in his hand.

"Change the flashlight, that one is almost out of battery."

Zhang Qiling looked at the flashlight that suddenly appeared in his palm and was slightly speechless. He originally wanted to hold her hand, but he didn't hold her hand, but got a flashlight.

Zhang Hanyan saw through his thoughts and smiled. Her laughter was pleasant and contained a hint of sly gloating.

"Let's go! What's so good about a flashlight?"

After she finished speaking, she walked directly into the room. The luminous pearls inlaid throughout the room emitted a bright glow.

There wasn't a speck of dust in the entire room, it was so clean as if someone cleaned it every day.

Zhang Qiling searched the antique shelf and indeed found a few Dust-Repellent Beads.

The light from the night pearl was not very bright. Zhang Hanyan shook the flashlight and looked around the room carefully.

The whole house is magnificent, with golden nanmu wood as beams, luminous pearls as lamps, and large, round oriental pearls as curtains.

The floor is paved with marble, and the floor tiles are covered with velvet carpets with Ruyi patterns. The white marble pillars are carved with Qilins burning in the wind and bathing in fire.

"Why is there nothing here? There's no coffin either, so why is it decorated so luxuriously?"

Zhang Hanyan walked slowly around the house to make sure there were no secret rooms or compartments. Zhang Qiling searched for it but also found nothing.

They walked out of the house and checked all the rooms on the sixth floor. The layout of each room was similar, and they were all empty, with no coffins or secret rooms.

The two stood in the last room in confusion, and they couldn't figure out what such a luxuriously decorated room was used for.

"Young man, what do you think they mean? They didn't even put a single coffin in there."

"I don't know, but looking at the furnishings and arrangements in these rooms, they don't seem to be for the dead, but rather for the living."

"You mean, every time the Zhang family enters the Zhang Family Ancient Building to do something, they have to rest here for a few days before leaving?"

Zhang Qiling nodded. He had just checked every room carefully and he really thought so.

Zhang Hanyan thought back to everything that happened in the room, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Zhang Qiling said made sense.

"It seems that the sixth floor is for the Zhang family members who brought the bodies in to rest. Then let's go up to the seventh floor and take a look."

There are only five rooms on the seventh floor. The walls of the entire seventh floor are inlaid with countless dust-proof beads. There is not a trace of dust on the entire floor.
