Chapter 135

tab them all to death!""Don't, Chen Tugong, don't be impulsive," I said through the pain. "You can't underestimate these beasts, doing so would be walking straight into death."" Let me know if you hav...He saw me staring, and the old man gave me a glance, then with some pride said: "This piece of Yinggan Tongbao indeed came from our family. My ancestor Zhao was Li Shun's presidential guard captain. Our ancestors not only protected Li Shun's personal safety but also were responsible for collecting corpses on the battlefield."

I thought to myself, "No wonder. With such a treasured heirloom, it's impossible for there to be no history behind it. If this master one day decides to stop his craft, let alone anything else, just selling this antique Qianshui item, valued among the top fifty, would bring in enough money that his descendants wouldn't spend it all for generations."

">

Then, the old man nervously clutched a piece of money and looked at the head said: "It should be almost done, open it."

">

"Hmm."

He nodded solemnly.

Such a heavy bronze coffin lid couldn't be pushed open by hand at all, so the method my head came up with was "priming." I used the steel shaft of a whirlwind shovel as a lever and inserted it, utilizing the principle of leverage, then moved it little by little.

As we pressed on, the bronze coffin lid groaned with a series of grating, earsplitting screeches.

The stench of death from before, with a single breath, as the coffin lid, weighing nearly a thousand jin, slammed down with a bang, sending up a cloud of dust.

Master Zhao held a copper coin in his hand, keeping guard. I lowered my head and simultaneously shone my flashlight inside.

Seeing the scene inside the coffin, even though I had prepared myself mentally beforehand, I still felt a churning in my stomach and almost vomited.

...It's so disgusting.... It's so disgusting, no wonder it smells like that!

Everyone who saw this scene turned pale, because we saw that the coffin was covered with hundreds of corpses of snakes, each one laid flat. These snake corpses were intertwined and circled each other like a large hemp flower, all in a state of decomposition, with large white maggots constantly flipping between the rotting flesh.

"With a sullen face, he said: 'Where's the body gone How come there are only these beasts, where is General Jiehou's corpse'"

Having said that, he refused to believe it was true. Ignoring the discomfort, he used his windshear as a shovel and dug into the pile of rotting flesh twice.

With his hand movements undulating, he suddenly jerked his head and exclaimed, “No... there’s a partition inside this coffin! There’s another layer underneath!”

"Yunfeng, come help me and take these things out," he ordered me, turning his head.

The smell inside the coffin was simply overwhelming. I and the shovel, scooping up those already rotten four-legged snakes, my whirlwind shovel had a white layer on its surface under the flashlight.

They were all maggots, it really disgusted me.

As I suspected, after dealing with most of it, there's a partition inside the coffin. All these legless serpents are sprawled across the board.

I tapped with my shovel and could tell by the sound that there was space beneath.

At this time, Yao Yumen suddenly spoke up and reminded: "Wang Bajiao, you guys look quickly, isn't there a small hole in the middle"

You're right, she reminded me and I noticed there was indeed a small irregular shaped hole in the middle.

This small hole is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, a bit like a certain type of keyhole.

"Huh" Hongjie suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "This shape... I seem to have seen it before..." She looked at me and said, "Yunfeng, do you remember that bronze artifact"

"Bronzeware What bronzeware"

Suddenly, a memory from earlier flashed through my mind.

"A bronze battle axe That ceremonial artifact!"

"Yes, that's the thing," Hongjie pointed at the small hole and said, "It's narrow at both ends and wider in the middle. And you see, I estimate its width should be about right."

"

How could this be! Chen Jian-sheng had that thing before, so if we go by that, it's very likely that the thing is now in Xiao Zhi Tou's hands!

With a grim expression, he asked the beggar Liu Ye, saying that he wanted to ask him for help and see if he could open this partition like before.

To his surprise, the beggar Liu shook his head after looking at it. He said, "No need to try anymore. It's useless. The coffin lid was originally made of bronze water and poured before closing the coffin. The lid and the coffin itself are separate. Besides, after a thousand years of corrosion, that's why I could open it."

">

He shook his head, pointing at the partition. "You see, this partition was built together as one piece back then. I can't take it apart. If we had dynamite, maybe."
