Suddenly, a person stood up straight in the coffin.
“Ghost…” Shui Sheng was so scared that he screamed loudly and quickly hid behind the Long-browed True Man.
Ye Qiu tightly held the Emperor Sword, while the Long-browed True Man held the Corpse-suppressing Talisman in his hand.
The expressions of both of them were very solemn.
After waiting for a long time, and seeing no movement from the person in the coffin, Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man exchanged a look and quietly approached the coffin.
When they were one meter away from the coffin, the two stopped.
Observed carefully.
They found that the person in the coffin was eight feet tall, wearing a golden crown on his head and a black long robe sewn with golden thread on his body.
This was an ancient corpse.
Around the waist of the ancient corpse, a simple three-foot long sword was hung.
On the scabbard, there is an engraved Eight Trigrams pattern.
The Celestial Master Sword！
”Finally found it.”
The Long-Browed True Man could hardly hide the excitement in his heart and reached out to take the sword.
”Wait a minute.” Ye Qiu stopped the Long-Browed True Man and said, “Old thing, look at his face.”
Only then did the Long-Browed True Man notice that on the face of the ancient corpse, there were densely pasted corpse-suppressing talismans, at least a dozen of them, covering the entire face.
“These are the talismans of our Dragon Tiger Mountain. Presumably they were left by our grandmaster.”
The grandmaster used so many corpse-suppressing talismans and also suppressed it with the Celestial Master Sword. It seems that this guy not only had a corpse transformation but also might have become a real zombie.”
The Long-Browed True Man’s eyes flickered and said, “Shuisheng, you come and take the sword.”
”Uncle, you’d better do it yourself. This guy looks fierce at first sight, and I don’t know martial arts. What if he attacks me? Wouldn’t I be dead?”
Not only did Shuisheng not step forward, but he also took two steps back.
”You coward, with me here, what are you afraid of？ Besides, you are a born sage, and evil things don’t dare to approach you at all. Don’t be wordy, quickly take the sword.”
”I won’t——”
”Hurry up！” The Long-Browed True Man shouted coldly, “If you dare not listen to the order, I will kill you right now.”
Ye Qiu said, “Shuisheng, you come and take the sword. In case of danger, your uncle will protect you.”
“Will he protect me？” Shui Sheng pouted. “He can’t even protect himself. I don’t believe him.”
“You—” The Long—browed True Man was very angry.
“If you don’t believe him, don’t you believe me either？” Ye Qiu said. “If there is danger, I will draw my sword immediately.”
“Well… all right！”
Shui Sheng hesitated for a moment before slowly walking to the coffin and tremblingly stretching out his hand to take the Heavenly Master Sword.
Seeing this scene, the Long-browed True Man was furious.
“Damn it, how did such a cowardly thing come out of our Dragon Tiger Mountain? I really want to kick you away.”
“Uncle, if you kick me away, there will be no one to help you get the sword.”
“Stop talking nonsense and get the sword quickly.”
Shui Sheng quickly took down the Heavenly Master Sword.
Who knew that as soon as the Heavenly Master Sword left the ancient corpse, a change occurred.
Puff！
The clothes on the ancient corpse instantly turned into powder. His skin was fair, as white as jade, full of luster, and there was no damage at all.
It was lifelike.
How is this possible？
Shui Sheng’s eyes widened as he looked at the ancient corpse in front of him in disbelief.
He couldn’t figure out how a thousand-year-old ancient corpse could be preserved so well？
Ye Qiu said, “In ancient times, some highly skilled people were proficient in the secret art of preserving ancient corpses.”
“I heard that Wu Zetian’s corpse is still in the same state as before her death. Whether it’s true or false, no one knows. After all, her tomb has not been opened yet.”
“However, there is one thing that is well known.”
“Back then, Sun Dianying led his troops to steal the Eastern Tombs. After opening the mausoleum, he found that the corpse of Empress Dowager Cixi was very well preserved, with a beautiful appearance, just like a beautiful woman asleep.”
“The reason was that there was a priceless night pearl in Empress Dowager Cixi’s mouth. Sun Dianying pried open Empress Dowager Cixi’s mouth with a knife and took out the night pearl. Instantly, Empress Dowager Cixi’s corpse rotted.”
Aquatic thought for a moment, “Doctor Ye, do you mean that the reason why this ancient corpse is so well preserved is because there is a treasure in his mouth？”
“Whether there is a treasure or not, don’t you just need to take a look？”
Ye Qiu originally said it as a joke, but unexpectedly, Aquatic took it seriously.”
Aquatic gritted his teeth and prepared to climb onto the coffin to see if there was a treasure in the ancient corpse’s mouth. Just at this time, the low shout of True Man Long Eyebrow came from his ear.”
“Stop！”
Aquatic turned his head and saw that True Man Long Eyebrow’s face was solemn and asked, “What’s wrong, Shibo？”
Ye Qiu also looked at True Man Long Eyebrow in confusion.”
True Man Long Eyebrow said in a deep voice, “The candle went out.”
Ye Qiu looked back.”
Sure enough, the candle in the southeast corner went out.”
The Long-browed True Man said, “When a man lights a candle, a ghost blows out the lamp. In ancient times, after the Grave Robber’s Faction entered a tomb, they would first light a candle in the southeast corner before they could open the coffin. If the candle went out, the tomb robbers had to quickly withdraw from the tomb and could not take away a single thing.”
“According to legend, this is a contract between the dead and the living set by the founder of the Grave Robber’s Faction. It has been passed down for thousands of years and cannot be broken.”
“Ye Qiu, it seems we don’t have a chance to get this coffin out.”
Shuisheng asked, “Uncle, you just said that we can’t take away a single thing. Do we need to put the Celestial Master Sword back？”
“Fart！” The Long-browed True Man cursed. “The Celestial Master Sword is the treasure that suppresses our Mount Longhu. Now it’s just returning to its original owner.”
Ye Qiu took a look at the ancient corpse and said, “This place is not suitable to stay for a long time. Let’s go…”
Puff！
Suddenly, more than a dozen Corpse-suppressing Talismans pasted on the face of the ancient corpse suddenly turned into powder, and a face appeared in front of the three people.
This was a man.
He was about forty years old.
He had a square face and thick eyebrows.
Although his eyes were closed, he gave people a feeling of majesty without anger. At the same time, a crackling sound came from all the joints of this guy’s body, which made people’s hearts tremble.
“Not good, this guy is going to wake up. Let’s go quickly.”
After the Long-browed True Man finished speaking, he was about to rush out of the stone cave when he saw the two eyes of the ancient corpse suddenly open.
What kind of eyes were those？
The pupils were blood-red, like fresh blood, containing an astonishing murderous aura.
“He’s awake.”
The Long-browed True Man was shocked and was about to stick the corpse-suppressing talisman in his hand on the forehead of the ancient corpse. Just as he got close, he was sent flying by a punch from the ancient corpse.
Bang！
The Long-browed True Man fell to the ground, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Ignoring his injuries, he shouted anxiously at Ye Qiu： “Little brat, quickly stick the corpse-suppressing talisman on his forehead.”
Before Ye Qiu could make a move, the ancient corpse flew out of the coffin.
“Fuck, it’s a flying corpse！”
The face of the Long-browed True Man changed drastically.
The strength of zombies also varies. Among them, the flying corpse is also known as the corpse king. It is agile and has great strength. Ordinary spells simply cannot suppress it.
The ancient corpse ignored Ye Qiu and Shui Sheng and directly pounced on the Long-browed True Man.
