　　Ye Qiu looked up at the front.
　　His face was full of shock.
　　I saw that 30 meters ahead was the end of the steps.
　　At the end of the steps, there was a water pool, about the size of a basketball court.
　　The water in the pool was as black as ink and bottomless.
　　In the middle of the pool, a gossip high platform was cast, and Ye Qiu’s gaze suddenly fell on the middle of the high platform.
Because there, a stone coffin was parked.
　　Ye Qiu also noticed that at the eight directions of the high platform, there was a long-burning lamp burning, as if it had never gone out for hundreds of years.
　　In an instant, Ye Qiu’s eyes became hot.
　　“Presumably, that should be the coffin of Senior Nameless. I wonder what the two precious treasures stored inside are？”
　　Ye Qiu quickened his pace and quickly came to the end of the steps.
　　He observed that there was approximately a twenty-meter distance from the end of the steps to the high platform, and there was no place to land in the middle. It was obviously unrealistic to fly directly over.
　　At least, with Ye Qiu’s current cultivation level, he was far from being able to do so.
　　Therefore, the simplest and most effective way at present was to swim across from the pool water.
　　Ye Qiu looked at the water pool and was about to stretch his foot in when he suddenly retracted it. For some reason, a faint sense of unease emerged in his heart.
The Nameless True Man specifically set up the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation in order to prevent evil people from Tomb Raiding. It can be seen that he did not want others to enter his tomb.
　　Now his coffin is right in front of him, and there are two precious treasures hidden inside. With the Nameless True Man’s mentality, he should not let people easily open the coffin and obtain the precious treasures.
　　So it seems that there must be danger here.
　　Ye Qiu looked around, and finally, his eyes fell on the water pool, and he quietly opened the Heavenly Eye.
　　The next second, Ye Qiu’s face changed drastically.
　　I saw that in the water pool, there were actually three big crocodiles hidden, less than one meter away from him, all staring at him with wide eyes.
　　If Ye Qiu had not realized the danger just now and put his foot into the water, then at this time, he might have been torn to pieces by the three crocodiles.
　　So dangerous, just a little bit, I would have been eaten by these three beasts.
　　Ye Qiu was shocked into a cold sweat.
　　He didn’t notice the existence of the crocodiles at all before opening the Heavenly Eye. That’s because the water in the pool is black and integrated with the crocodiles. They also hide their auras, making it difficult to detect them with the naked eye alone.
　　Moreover, these three crocodiles are very smart. They hide in the water of the pool and don’t move at all, just waiting for Ye Qiu to get into the water.
　　Since Ye Qiu has already discovered them, he naturally won’t be stupid enough to continue getting into the water. So, he must find another way to get to the high platform.
　　He thought about it again and again, and finally thought of a way——
　　Borrowing strength！
　　However, there is nothing on the water pool that can be used as a borrowing object. Ye Qiu thought for a while and finally thought of a wonderful way.
　　Golden needle！
　　He took out a seven-inch-long golden needle, infused power into the golden needle, and then waved his right hand.
　　Whoosh！
　　The golden needle broke through the air and in the blink of an eye, it was three meters away.
　　Ye Qiu rose into the air and swept out like lightning. His toes accurately stepped on that golden needle, and then used the golden needle to borrow strength, and his body quickly jumped up again.
　　Almost at the same time, Ye Qiu threw out the second golden needle.
　　Whoosh！
Ye Qiu’s toes stepped on the second golden needle again, borrowed strength and rushed forward four meters. Subsequently, the third golden needle whistled out.
　　Repeating this way, Ye Qiu used a total of six golden needles before reaching the bottom of the high platform.
　　The high platform is piled up with bluestones and is uneven on the surface.
　　“Scrape！”
　　Ye Qiu kicked a piece of bluestone, and his body was like a nimble monkey, climbing quickly towards the top of the high platform.
　　In just the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu stood steadily on the top of the high platform and let out a long breath.
　　“Finally arrived here. Unfortunately, six more golden needles were lost.”
　　Ye Qiu felt a pang in his heart. Immediately afterwards, his eyes fixed on the sarcophagus.
　　At this time, the sarcophagus was less than two meters away from him.
　　Thinking that opening the sarcophagus would allow him to see the two precious treasures left by the Nameless True Man, Ye Qiu’s mood was a little excited.
　　He went straight to the front of the sarcophagus and looked at it carefully.
　　The sarcophagus was about seven feet long and three feet wide. It was cast from bluestone and there was also a huge “Fu” character engraved on it, full of a sense of heaviness.
　　Ye Qiu couldn’t contain the excitement in his heart and couldn’t wait to open the sarcophagus. Even his right hand had already been placed on the coffin lid. However, at this moment, suddenly a gust of cold wind blew.
　　“Whoosh——”
　　The eternal lamp in the southeast went out.
　　Ye Qiu couldn’t help but think of a sentence in “Ghost Blows Out the Light”： When people light candles, ghosts blow out the lights. When the rooster crows and the lights go out, don’t touch the gold.”
The meaning of this sentence is that after the Mojin an ancient term for tomb robbers enter the tomb they will light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb and then open the coffin to touch the gold.
　　When the Grave Robbers touch the gold, they must never damage the remains of the tomb owner. They should gently touch from the head to the feet. If the candle in the southeast corner goes out when touching the gold, then all the treasures touched must be returned to their original positions, and then respectfully kowtow three times to the tomb owner or the coffin and exit the tomb.
　　Otherwise, there will surely be misfortunes.
　　Although Ye Qiu is not a Grave Robber and it is the eternal lamp that goes out instead of the candle, the extinguishing of this eternal lamp still casts a shadow over Ye Qiu’s heart.
　　Should he still open the coffin？
　　Ye　Qiu　hesitated.
　　But, it was only a hesitation for a few seconds, and Ye Qiu made a decision.
　　Open　the　coffin！
　　The precious treasures are right in front of him, and there is no reason not to open the coffin. Moreover, the Nameless True Man said in the suicide note that the precious treasures were left for the fated person in the future. That is to say, the Nameless True Man still hoped that someone could obtain the precious treasures.
　　“Nameless senior, since the younger generation has come here and learned the cursive script sword formula you left behind, it means that the younger generation is the fated person you mentioned. I hope you will be merciful and let me smoothly take out the two precious treasures in your coffin. Please.”
Ye Qiu muttered to the stone coffin and then slapped it hard with his right hand.
　　“Boom！”
　　The coffin lid was blown off on the spot.
　　Ye Qiu lowered his head and took a look. The first thing that came into his sight was a complete skeleton. Then, his gaze fell beside the skeleton, where two rosewood boxes were placed.
　　The wooden box on the left was rectangular, about three feet long. The wooden box on the right was only half a foot long and square.
　　Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate at all. He first took out the rectangular rosewood box and quickly opened it.
　　Subsequently, a simple and unsophisticated long sword came into his view.
　　The long sword was about three feet long. The scabbard and the handle of the sword were decorated with colorful beads and Jiuhua jade. At a glance, it was not an ordinary thing.
　　Ye Qiu put down the wooden box, held the scabbard with his left hand, and grasped the handle of the sword with his right hand, and pulled it hard.
　　“Qiang——”
　　A clear sword chant sounded, like a dragon’s roar.
　　Ye Qiu carefully examined it and found that the body of the sword was cold and sharp, and the blade was like frost and snow, which could reflect people’s appearance.
　　Suddenly, he saw two seal script characters on the body of the sword——
　　Chi Xiao！
