This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.
Chapter 87 An unexpected gain
The zombie and Zheng Zhuang exchanged a glance, then the zombie suddenly jumped out of the bronze coffin and lunged at Zheng Zhuang, baring its teeth.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhuang waved his hand lightly, and the zombie flew out and crashed into the bronze coffin with a "bang".
The zombie roared angrily, then got up and continued its attack.
But before he could get close, he was sent flying again and crashed heavily to the ground.
Zheng Zhuang used a bit more strength this time, so the zombie struggled to stand up for quite a while.
He grew increasingly angry and charged forward again, only to be sent flying once more, unsurprisingly.
After this happened several times, the zombie was a little confused. He hadn't even touched Zheng Zhuang's clothes before he was swatted away as if by an invisible hand, which was really strange.
He gradually calmed down and realized the situation: he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him!
As Zheng Zhuang raised his hand again, a hint of fear flashed in the zombie's eyes, and it instinctively covered its head with its hands.
Zheng Zhuang couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this zombie was quite intelligent and even knew fear.
He found it quite amusing and decided to tease the zombie, so he walked towards the bronze coffin again.
As the zombie saw Zheng Zhuang approaching, it quickly took a few steps back, its expression full of vigilance.
Zheng Zhuang picked up a jade pendant from the bronze coffin, chuckled, and waved it in front of the zombie, indicating that he wanted this one too.
A hint of reluctance flickered in the zombie's eyes, but it dared not make a move.
Zheng Zhuang carefully collected the jade artifacts from the bronze coffin, waving each one at the zombie as if asking for its opinion.
Even after the last item was put away, the zombies didn't rush over, and Zheng Zhuang found it quite boring.
Zheng Zhuang looked the zombie over from head to toe and found that his armor was still in pretty good condition, looking as good as new even after many years.
The zombie seemed to understand Zheng Zhuang's gaze. A look of struggle appeared on its face. After a moment, it actually took off its armor and pushed it to Zheng Zhuang's feet like a treasure.
The clothes inside the armor had been eroded by time, and most of them had begun to decay, making them look tattered. The zombie had also changed from a majestic general to someone who looked like a beggar.
This action startled Zheng Zhuang, who was momentarily speechless.
Zheng Zhuang, both amused and exasperated, put away his armor and asked, "Now that you have gained sentience, you must be able to understand what I'm saying. Do you know where all the treasures in this tomb are kept?"
The zombie paused for a moment, as if pondering what the "treasure" was, and after a long while, it slowly nodded.
Seeing that there was a chance, Zheng Zhuang became very interested. Judging from the scale and configuration of the underground palace, it should be an imperial tomb. Who was buried inside was not important; what mattered was that there must be plenty of gold and silver treasures.
Having reached Zheng Zhuang's level of cultivation, worldly treasures should theoretically be of little use, but perhaps because he was too poor in his previous life, he has an inexplicable obsession with these things.
Zheng Zhuang followed the zombie and soon arrived at another tomb chamber.
This room is the same size as the tomb where the zombie was, but its furnishings are much more elegant, making it easy to guess that the tomb's owner was a civil official.
Before Zheng Zhuang could make a move, the zombie actually pushed open the coffin lid and then obediently retreated to the side.
Zheng Zhuang gave the zombie an approving look. This thing is quite sensible!
Zheng Zhuang looked inside and saw that the amount of gold, silver, and jade artifacts in the coffin was several times greater than that of the zombie. In addition to these, there were also many valuable calligraphy and paintings.
However, unlike the others, the body inside the coffin had long since decomposed, leaving only a pile of bones.
"Look, the civil officials are treated better than you military generals," Zheng Zhuang said, glancing at the zombie.
Zheng Zhuang rubbed his hands together, took out another candle, and lit it in the southeast corner of the tomb.
As expected, the candle went out silently again!
Zheng Zhuang rolled his eyes. Can't we just have some fun?
He turned around and saw the spirit of an old man in an official robe quietly floating in mid-air, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Chen Dabiao, you traitorous bastard, you actually brought an outsider to steal my coffin!" the old man shouted at the zombie.
"Oh? It can talk, that makes things easier." Zheng Zhuang said with some surprise.
"You shameless tomb raider, how dare you spout such nonsense!"
The old man roared and charged toward Zhengzhuang, completely unaware of the gloating look in the zombie's eyes.
But as he approached, a sudden sense of danger arose in his heart. The person in front of him seemed like a raging fire, and if he really rushed at him, he might be reduced to ashes!
At this moment, he realized that this person, who could so easily coerce Chen Dabiao, must not be a simple character.
Then, the old man did something amazing. Just as he was about to reach Zhengzhuang, he suddenly made a ninety-degree right-angle turn and leaped onto the ceiling.
Then, two balls of cold, ghostly fire emerged from the old man's palms and smashed directly into a spider web on the ceiling. The entire web, along with the spider hiding in the corner, was instantly burned to ashes.
"You beast, I've tolerated you for far too long!"
The old man laughed heartily, as if he had eliminated a major threat, and then, still smiling, bowed to Zheng Zhuang and said:
"Immortal Master, you flatter me. This dead spider keeps jumping around on my head all day long, and I simply can't stand it anymore."
Zheng Zhuang nodded noncommittally, then scratched his ear and said, "What did you just say about tomb raiders?"
"This... I'm referring to that brute Chen Dabiao. Immortal, you may not know, but this fellow was at odds with me in life, and I never expected him to cause trouble for me even after death. He's utterly inhuman!" the old man said, pointing at the zombie.
Zheng Zhuang glanced at the zombie and saw that it was waving its hands and shaking its head, but it couldn't speak and could only anxiously watch.
The old man's transformation was so swift that Zheng Zhuang was caught off guard, thinking to himself that with such a thick skin, this man must have been quite a figure in his lifetime.
"Alright, tell me your origins!" Zheng Zhuang said.
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, my name is Liu Changqing, and I was the Prime Minister of the Star Wheel Kingdom in my previous life," the old man said hurriedly, then pointed to the zombie, "Chen Dabiao served in the same court as me, and was a General of the Cavalry."
"Star Wheel Kingdom?" Zheng Zhuang seemed to be deep in thought.
"The Star Wheel Kingdom was once powerful and had the potential to unify Cangzhou, but alas, His Majesty..." Liu Changqing sighed.
“But he has gone astray!” Zheng Zhuang interrupted.
Liu Changqing gave a bitter smile:
"Yes! Who could have imagined that the king who once loved his people so much would turn out like this? If it weren't for that, how could Xinglun have destroyed his kingdom!"
He hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"That's all in the past. You've come here for the matter of the Yin Soldiers, haven't you? Alas, I've long advised His Majesty, how can you act against the will of Heaven!"
Ghost soldiers? What the hell?
Zheng Zhuang, not expecting such an unexpected gain, calmly said:
"We'll talk about the ghost soldiers later. I also want to find something on this trip. Do you know where the treasure vault is?"
