Ye Qiu stood on the last step. At this time, a spacious hall appeared in front of him.
In the middle of the hall, a white jade coffin stood quietly.
On the ground around the coffin, there were all white bones, at least twenty or thirty of them.
There was dried blood everywhere.
Beside these white bones, there were also some things such as Luoyang shovels and ropes.
“These dead people should be tomb robbers.” True Man Changmei said in surprise： “These tomb robbers are amazing. They actually came here.”
“How did they die？” Uncle Shoushan said in horror： “Did they fall into some kind of trap？”
Ye Qiu didn’t say anything. He walked to a white bone and squatted down to check it carefully.
Because there was only a white bone left and no skin, it was more difficult to check the cause of death.
Ye Qiu checked for a while. Finally, on the laryngeal bone of this white bone, he saw a sword mark.
Subsequently, he examined the second skeleton, the third skeleton…
It took a few minutes.
Ye Qiu examined all the skeletons at the scene and then stood up and said, “They were killed by a single sword strike to the throat.”
”I just checked. Almost all of these deceased had old injuries on their bodies, especially the bones of their thumbs and index fingers, which were severely worn. They should be professional tomb robbers.”
”Moreover, the bones of these corpses are very hard. It seems that they were all martial arts masters. Their strength during their lifetimes should be similar to his.”
Ye Qiu pointed at the mountain keeper.
Tang Fei’s face changed slightly and said, “So many powerhouses comparable to the experts on the Dragon Ranking were actually killed by a single sword strike to the throat. It seems that the person who killed them is very powerful.”
Ye Qiu nodded and said, “The person who killed these tomb robbers is not weaker than me.”
Tang Fei said, “Now the problem comes.”
”First, when we came, the bronze door of the main tomb was intact. How did these tomb robbers get in here？”
Second, who killed them? Was it their accomplice, or someone else?
The Long-browed True Man said, “I’m not interested in these two questions. I’m more interested in that coffin now.”
The mountain keeper had already seen the white jade coffin. Hearing the words of the Long-browed True Man, he immediately echoed, “Me too.”
Pa！
The Long-browed True Man slapped the mountain keeper on the forehead and said, “Don’t imitate me.”
When did I imitate you？
Uncle Shoushan glared at the Long-browed True Man angrily, but didn’t dare to speak out.
“You want to know the identity of the tomb owner, right？” Ye Qiu guessed the Long-browed True Man’s thoughts and said, “How about opening the coffin and taking a look？”
“That’s exactly what I mean.” After saying that, the Long-browed True Man walked to the front of the white jade coffin.
Ye Qiu and the others also walked over and took a look. They saw that there were nine five-clawed golden dragons carved on both sides of the coffin.
It was magnificent and beautiful.
At the front and back ends of the coffin, there were two “Fu” characters engraved respectively, exuding an air of luxury.
Uncle Shoushan exclaimed, “What a wonderful thing.”
Pop！
He was slapped on the forehead again.
“True Man, why did you hit me again？” Uncle Shoushan said angrily. He was already over sixty years old. Always being slapped on the forehead by the Long-browed True Man, he couldn’t save face.
The Long-browed True Man said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Let me tell you, don’t have any ideas about this coffin.”
“True Man, you misunderstood. I didn’t have any ideas about this coffin. Chief Tang said earlier that the things in the ancient tomb are cultural relics. It’s illegal for private individuals to excavate and steal them. How could I break the law knowingly？” Uncle Shoushan explained.
“It’s best if you don’t have such thoughts. If you dare to have such thoughts, I’ll kill you.”
After saying that, the Long-browed True Man looked at Ye Qiu and said with a smile, “Little brat, help me move this coffin to Longhu Mountain later. When I die, I will lie in it.”
When the Mountain-guard Uncle heard this, he was so angry that his face turned green, and he glared at the Long-browed True Man.
It turned out that this old thing had in mind the coffin. Shameless！
Before opening the coffin, generally three candles are lit in the southeast corner. As the saying goes, “People light candles, ghosts blow out the lights”. Once the candles go out, the person who enters the tomb must withdraw from the tomb and cannot take away any funerary objects.
“Do we need to light candles？” Ye Qiu asked.
“No need.” The Long-browed True Man said, “The tomb robbers have already come here. There is no need to light candles. Besides, I didn’t bring candles.”
Ye Qiu： “…”
The Long-browed True Man said, “Tang Fei, old man, you two step back a little further in case you encounter danger and get hurt after the coffin is opened.”
Tang Fei and the Mountain-guard Uncle immediately stepped back.
Ye Qiu thought that the Long-browed True Man would open the coffin with him. Unexpectedly, the Long-browed True Man said, “Little brat, I just observed that this white jade coffin was cut from a whole piece of jade and then carved and made.”
“Whether it is the material or the carving process, it is top-notch.”
When opening the coffin, the movements must be gentle. Don’t break it… Alright, it’s up to you.”
After the Long-browed True Man finished speaking, he stepped aside.
Ye Qiu glanced at the Long-browed True Man indifferently, and then his right hand pressed on the coffin lid.
Instantly, the palm felt warm and delicate, like a woman’s skin.
“Huh？”
Ye Qiu let out a surprised sound. This coffin was not only made of white jade, but also warm jade, and its value was probably not less than ten billion.
“What a good thing.”
Ye Qiu was a little tempted. Then, he opened his Heavenly Eye, wanting to see if there were any mechanisms or other things in the coffin.
However, what he saw was a vast expanse of white, and his sight could not penetrate the coffin.
This made Ye Qiu even more tempted. This coffin was a rare treasure.
“Little brat, don’t dawdle. Hurry up and open the coffin.” The Long-browed True Man urged.
Ye Qiu was on full alert, and then gradually increased his strength in his hand. With a “crash” sound, the coffin lid was pushed open.
Ye Qiu controlled the force very well. After the coffin lid was pushed open, it hung on the coffin edge and did not fall to the ground.
After the coffin lid was opened, a strange fragrance emanated from it and quickly filled the entire tomb.
The Long-browed True Man and the others hurriedly gathered around and looked into the coffin.
Hiss——
Everyone’s faces showed a look of surprise.
I saw an old man lying in the coffin. He was wearing a dragon robe, a crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and golden silk soft boots on his feet.
This wasn’t the reason that shocked Ye Qiu and the others. What truly shocked them was that the old man’s body hadn’t decayed. His skin was ruddy, his eyes were tightly closed, and his face was majestic, just like a sleeping emperor！
“Is he dead？” Tang Fei asked.
“Dead.” Ye Qiu didn’t sense any life force from this old man.
The Long-browed True Man said, This is the magic of this white jade coffin. It’s better than all the preservation methods in the world today and can ensure that it corpse won’t decay for a hundred years or even a thousand years.”
Uncle Mountain Guardian stared at the old man in the coffin and said, “Judging from his attire, he looks a bit like an emperor.”
Tang Fei said, “If he’s really an ancient emperor, who could he be？”
