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

After Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling entered the tomb, they took out a fire starter and carefully observed the situation inside the tomb. The tomb was very dry and there was no sign of water seepage.

"Young man, look at this tomb chamber. It seems to be upside down. There is a mural of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens on the ground, but there is nothing on the top of the tomb.

Generally speaking, Han tombs are topped with bluestone slabs, which are then covered with blue bricks. But if you look at this tomb chamber, it's completely the opposite.

What we just dug up was not the top of the tomb, but the bottom of the tomb chamber."

Zhang Qiling held up a fire starter and looked upwards. He walked to a vessel hanging upside down at the bottom of the tomb and stopped. He found that it was actually a coffin attached to the top of the tomb.

After Zhang Haike and his companions outside the tomb enlarged the hole at the bottom of the tomb, they were amazed at the strange tomb in front of them.

"It's amazing! I've heard of vertical burials and horizontal burials before, but this is the first time I've seen a prone burial. This tomb is quite spooky!"

"Such an evil tomb, should we continue?"

Zhang Haike looked at the coffin on top of the tomb and said, "Open it! Winners win, losers lose, I have to accept defeat!"

They had practiced lifting the coffin on a flat surface countless times when they were at the Zhang family, but now that the coffin was on the top of the tomb, they had to hang themselves on the top.

"But how do we open it? The coffin is on top. Do we have to hang ourselves up?"

While everyone was discussing, Zhang Hanyan quietly walked to a bronze horse in the corner, picked up a small stone on the ground, and hit one of the silk threads around the bronze horse.

The moment the stone hit the silk thread, the blue bricks in four places on the ground sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a downward passage appeared.

"Brother, here!"

She held up the fire starter and waved at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling walked to her side and looked at the passage that appeared on the ground with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Han Yan...how do you know?"

"Although I didn't enter from here when I first entered the ancient city of Sizhou, the temporary checkpoints they set up outside are almost the same."

Zhang Haike looked at the two of them suspiciously, because they were in a dark corner, so he couldn't see the passage that appeared on the ground at a glance.

"What are you two doing standing here? How did a bronze horse suddenly appear here? It's strange, why is this bronze horse not flipped over?"

He walked forward casually, stepped on empty air, and just happened to step on the passage that appeared.

He was caught off guard by a sniper attack, and if Zhang Qiling hadn't held him back, he would have almost fallen down the passage.

"Not only did a bronze horse suddenly appear here, but a cave also suddenly appeared?"

Zhang Haike climbed up and looked at the passage in the light of the fire. The passage was very steep and more like a deep well leading underground.

The other three heard the noise and ran over, each holding a fire starter in their hands. In an instant, the passage became bright.

"How about... let's go down and take a look?" one of them said eagerly.

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling did not give them time to think. They held up the fire starters and walked down the passage first.

At the end of the passage was a tomb-stealing hole, at the bottom of which was a brick wall with a fist-sized hole in the middle.

"It's blocked..."

[Host, in the original plot, behind this wall is the burial place of Zhang Yecheng. Before, you entered the ancient city of Sizhou from another direction and rescued Zhang Yecheng, which changed the plot. Now there is nothing behind this wall.]

Have you completed the upgrade?

[Yeah, yes.]

After hearing what the system said, Zhang Hanyan didn't want to waste any more time, so she drew out the sword in her hand, injected spiritual energy into it and swung it out. In just a moment, the brick wall in front of her collapsed.

"Okay, let's go in!"

She lifted her foot and stepped over the bricks beneath her feet, and walked into the stone hall behind the brick wall.

The entire hall was filled with mud, and there was a very sloping stone edge around the hall for walking.

The huge mud pool in front of them was filled with densely packed corpses.

As soon as Zhang Qiling saw this huge mud pool, the images that were buried deep in his memory came flooding back.

“Oh my god, so many corpses? How come there are so many corpses…wait! These people…they are also members of the Zhang family!”

A cry of surprise brought Zhang Haike back to his senses from his shock. He carefully observed the corpse in the mud pool, looking for the most obvious characteristics of the Zhang family on the corpse.

Among the corpses' fingers, two were incredibly long!

"What's going on? Why are there so many Zhang family members in this mud pool? Why did they die here?"

"Come and see!"

Several people ran over and looked in the direction of his finger.

"Look at these corpses. Their necks are broken and their bodies have many wounds. There have been many fights here, and the killing methods used were all the Zhang family's."

He looked at the others with a serious expression, "These people were murdered, and the ones who killed them... were also members of the Zhang family... This is the scene of a family infighting."

Several people looked at each other in confusion after listening to his analysis. Then, Zhang Haike suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Qiling and Zhang Hanyan, as if he had thought of something.

"You brought us here on purpose. What is your purpose in letting us see this?"

Zhang Qiling looked calmly at Zhang Haike, who was on the verge of a rage, and said calmly.

"I don't have any purpose. I just want more people to help me get through the passage here so that I can successfully enter here."

"Then what is your purpose in coming here?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Zhang Qiling looked at the bubbling mud pool, "What you want is in that coffin, take it and leave.

The things in here are extremely dangerous, you are not allowed to go in."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the mud pool in front of him. As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped into the mud pool, and disappeared after a few splashes.

Zhang Hanyan turned around to look at the four people who were already stunned, and gently pushed Zhang Haike with the hilt of the sword in his hand.

"What the young man said is true. The things in here are not something you can deal with. Go quickly, control your curiosity, and don't follow us."

After she finished speaking, she also jumped and followed Zhang Qiling's footsteps into the ancient city of Sizhou through a corridor under the mud pool.

When she crawled out of the mud pool, a hand grabbed her hand and pulled her up forcefully.

As soon as she got ashore, Zhang Qiling lifted her sleeves, wanting to check whether any leeches in the mud pool had entered her body through the pores on her skin.

"Brother, I'm fine. Those leeches don't dare to drill into my body. If you don't believe me, just look..."

As Zhang Hanyan spoke, she cut her fingertips on a protruding stone and let the blood drip into the mud pool.

In an instant, the leeches sleeping in the mud pool began to roll around frantically, fleeing from where the blood was dripping.
