Several people were startled and stared at the coffin in the air one after another.
Ye Qiu quietly opened his Heavenly Eye, wanting to see what was inside the coffin. However, his sight could not penetrate the coffin.
He immediately realized that this coffin was not simple！
“Shibo, why don’t we just leave？” Shui Sheng was a little scared.
The Long-browed True Man snorted coldly: I finally found this place, and the Celestial Master Sword is right in front of me. How could I return empty-handed?
“Little brat, do as I say and cut off the iron chains.”
“In case there is some peerless fierce thing in the coffin, we can join forces to deal with it.”
Ye Qiu leaped into the air and quickly slashed out four swords.
The Emperor Sword Chixiao was extremely sharp, and the iron chains were cut off in an instant. The coffin fell from the air and hit the ground, making a loud boom.
Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man stepped forward, stared at the coffin, and carefully examined it for a while, but neither of them rashly opened the coffin.
The coffin was pitch-black all over, with exquisite dragon patterns carved on it.
“This coffin seems to be made of wood.” Ye Qiu suddenly said.
The Long-browed True Man nodded and said, “That’s right, it is indeed made of wood.”
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but be curious and said, “Since Zhang Tianshi put the Tianshi Sword in the coffin, it means that when Zhang Tianshi came, this coffin was already here.”
”Zhang Tianshi was a figure a thousand years ago. Could it be that this coffin has been here for more than a thousand years？”
I’m very puzzled. What kind of wood can last for a thousand years without decaying?
When Ye Qiu said this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at the Long Eyebrow True Man. The two said in unison.
”Golden Thread Nanmu！”
Golden Thread Nanmu is a very precious kind of wood, and the coffin made of Golden Thread Nanmu is even more extremely expensive.
In ancient times, only the emperor could use the Golden Thread Nanmu coffin after death. Generally, princes, ministers, and common people could not use it privately unless they received special rewards from the emperor. If they used it without permission, it would be a great crime of exterminating the nine clans.
The reason why the emperor was enthusiastic about the Golden Thread Nanmu coffin was only one. Golden Thread Nanmu can last for a thousand years without decaying and ten thousand years without rotting.
In order to confirm his guess, the Long Eyebrow True Man took out a dagger and scraped it on the coffin.
Under the black paint was the bright red paint.
The Long Eyebrow True Man scraped it again with the dagger. Under the bright red paint was the brown paint.
Continue to scrape.
The Long-browed True Man was busy for about ten minutes. Finally, the paint disappeared, and golden wood grains appeared in sight, like gold.
“That’s right, this coffin is indeed made of golden thread nanmu, but this is not ordinary golden thread nanmu, but ebony.” said the Long-browed True Man.
Ye Qiu was shocked.
Ebony, also known as wumu, refers to some trees that, after accidents such as earthquakes, floods, and mudslides, are buried in the low-lying areas of the ancient riverbed or sink into the silt. Under the conditions of hypoxia, high pressure, and the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, after carbonization for up to tens of millions of years, wumu is formed.
Because wumu is very rare, it is also called the “Oriental Magic Wood”.
The ancients said： Having thousands of taels of gold at home is not as good as a piece of wumu.
It can be seen from this how precious wumu is.
A coffin made of wumu will not rot or decay for ten thousand years, is not afraid of insect bites, and is not afraid of being soaked in water. It is the best quality coffin that feudal emperors can enjoy.
However, wumu is difficult to find.
Therefore, many emperors settled for the next best thing and made coffins with golden thread nanmu.
But what the Long-browed True Man didn’t expect was that the coffin in front of him was not only golden thread nanmu, but also ebony.
That is to say, the golden thread nanmu used to make the coffin has undergone carbonization for at least a thousand years.
A coffin like this is definitely a rare good thing in a thousand years.
“The person who can afford such a coffin is by no means an ordinary person. Even if not an emperor, the identity is probably almost the same as that of an emperor.”
Most of the ashes and bones outside are probably the deceased.
The Long-browed True Man paused for a moment and said, “Little brat, do you know how much this coffin is worth？”
“How much is it worth？”
The Long-browed True Man stretched out five fingers.
Ye Qiu asked, “Fifty million？”
The Long-browed True Man shook his head.
“Five hundred million？”
The Long-browed True Man still shook his head.
“Could it be five billion?” Ye Qiu felt a little incredible and said, “It’s just a coffin. How can it be worth so much money?”
“You guessed wrong. It’s fifty billion！”
Hiss——
Ye Qiu took a deep breath in surprise, and his eyes suddenly became hot. “Old thing, let’s find a way to get this coffin out. When the time comes, we’ll split the money from the sale in half.”
“No, this coffin is so precious. It would be a pity to sell it.”
Shuisheng said beside him, “Uncle-Master, when you die, I will bury you with this coffin.”
“Am I very filial, Uncle-Master？”
Pop！
The Long-browed True Man slapped Shuisheng on the forehead and shouted, “If you curse me to die again, I’ll kill you first.”
“Ununcle, I’m doing it for your own good. Even if you don’t appreciate it, why did you hit me?” Shuisheng said with a aggrieved expression on his face.
“I’m too lazy to waste my breath on you.” The Long-Browed True Man glared at Shui Sheng and then said to Ye Qiu, “My life is almost over, and having so much money is useless. If you promise me one request, then I can help you get this coffin out.”
“What request？”
“Protect Longhu Mountain for the rest of your life！”
“Okay.” Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately.
“With your word, I’m relieved. Get ready to open the coffin.” After saying that, the Long-Browed True Man shouted at Shui Sheng, “Give me the backpack.”
Shui Sheng handed the backpack to the Long-Browed True Man.
The Long-Browed True Man took out a candle from the backpack, lit it, and placed it in the southeast corner of the cave.
Then, he took out a handful of glutinous rice from the bag and scattered it around the coffin in a circle.
Finally, he took out three corpse-suppressing talismans, kept one for himself, and gave the other two to Ye Qiu and Shui Sheng.
Since the ancestor placed the Heavenly Master Sword in the coffin it means that the thing in the coffin has already turned into a corpse, otherwise there would be no need to use the Heavenly Master Sword to suppress it.”
“After opening the coffin later, if you find something wrong, you little brat, immediately stick the corpse-suppressing talisman on the forehead of the corpse.”
“Get ready to open the coffin！”
After the Long-Browed True Man finished speaking, he took Shui Sheng and stepped back a few steps.
Ye Qiu stood in front of the coffin, took a deep breath, put his hands on the coffin lid, and was about to push it open.
Bang！
Suddenly, the coffin lid trembled violently and moved aside by a crack. A chilly yin qi spilled out from that crack, bone-chilling cold, as if possessed by a ghost.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but shiver with cold, quickly stepped back, and stared at the coffin lid with both eyes.
“Old thing, be careful, there is danger.”
As soon as Ye Qiu’s voice fell, there was another “bang” sound, and the coffin lid flew out. Immediately after, a person stood up straight from the coffin.
