Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

After they had eaten their fill at Qin Henian's place and devoured all the edible species in the small forest, the tomb underwent a tremendous change.

The small forest has disappeared, replaced by a huge bronze, strangely shaped round coffin. The hot spring lake that could be seen before has also disappeared, replaced by a huge bronze round coffin. The two round coffins are connected by large, thick iron chains.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was something wrong with the two round coffins. Even more suspicious was the sudden click in the middle of the chains, which opened a mechanism underground, slowly revealing a stone tablet. The tablet was densely covered with inscriptions.

Upon witnessing this real scene, some people reacted with disbelief, others with indifference, and still others with curious and inquisitive eyes.

As you approach, the crooked inscriptions on the stone tablet between the two round coffins come into view.

"A wheeled coffin!"

"The 'coffin with a pulley' written on it must refer to these two round coffins!"

Qin Henian was particularly familiar with these ancient scripts. Although most of them were characters he recognized but couldn't write, none of that prevented him from translating the meaning.

"Oh, it's called Gulu Coffin! I was wondering why the name sounded so familiar."

"The wheeled coffin is a type of coffin that is extremely particular about materials and craftsmanship. In ancient times, few people would use such a coffin after their death. Generally, only very wealthy merchants would use such a coffin. I never expected that this old prince of the Southern Song Dynasty would choose such a coffin after his death."

Wu Xie stared at the two round coffins in front of him for a long time, and pondered the information about this type of coffin in his mind for a long time before slowly beginning to introduce them.

"Do you know how to open this kind of wheeled coffin?"

Qin Henian had been following the powerful Chosen One of Fortune these past few days. He had a good idea of ​​what tombs they had entered and what coffins they had opened. This was probably the first time they had seen a wheeled coffin during their time together, so he curiously tilted his head and asked, wanting to know... After all, he had never died, so it was probably okay for him not to know the different types of burial coffins!

"This round coffin is different from other coffins and outer coffins. Coffins are simply used to put corpses in, while outer coffins are generally much larger and more complex in their workmanship and function. Round coffins are usually made of iron and mercury mixed with bronze and cast together, forming a closed rim in the middle. Different opening and closing mechanisms are usually designed on both sides of the rim."

"The two round coffins in front of us have their openings sealed by pouring concrete. However, the two iron chains connecting them in the middle form an opening mechanism. This kind of iron chain mechanism with round holes on both sides is usually opened by pulling force. If our pulling force is insufficient or excessive, these two round coffins will be cut off from the inside, completely sealing the strange round coffins."

Although the Zhang family, a prominent clan with a history spanning thousands of years, is now in decline, it doesn't prevent them from having records about the alien coffin.

Now that he knew how to open the two coffins in front of him, Zhang Qilin, true to his personality, didn't hesitate for long before starting to explain the method to everyone.

Wow~ Little Qilin is talking more now!

As Qin Henian listened to Zhang Qilin's eloquent explanation of the two round coffins in front of him, his mind was not on the content of the explanation. Instead, he stared intently at Zhang Qilin, as if he were witnessing some amazing discovery.

Zhang Qilin, standing nearby, naturally felt that burning gaze as well. So, halfway through his speech, he quickened his pace, finishing his long string of words. Not wanting his wife to look at him like that again, he reached up and tugged at the brim of his hoodie, pulling down the hood that was covering his eyes, and tightened the cap on his bottle...

"If what you're saying is true, then the mechanisms of these two round coffins are basically connected. With just one force code, both coffins can be opened."

Wu Xie extracted the meaning from the young man's words and, applying it to his own logic, began to speak.

"Oh dear! Young Master San doesn't think that opening the coffin can be solved with just a simple force code, does he?"

"Of course, if Young Master really can't open this mechanism, you can hire your master, me, to do it! I'll give you a special deal, a master-disciple price! One gold bar!"

Black Bear had sharp ears and knew how to seize opportunities. He used to charge high fees for his work on the ground, but that was in the past. After he and Dumb Zhang felt rejected by the world, they decided that they would use gold to exchange for commissions and extra money from now on!

Of course, for small-scale overseas orders, you still have to use RMB. Every little bit counts, and you can exchange it for gold later.

Pixiu's collecting of gold is a hobby, but creating the golden armor of the Pixiu clan also requires a lot of gold to be inlaid...

"What? Gold bars? You blind bastard, are you crazy for money?!"

"Don't you think that if I had that money, I'd rather use my connections with He Nian to get my third uncle and his wife good food and drink..."

Wu Xie usually seemed to value money a lot, but after hearing Hei Xiazi's words, he rolled his eyes.

He didn't organize this tomb raiding trip. Those who want to swindle him out of his money don't even consider why he would go into a tomb if he had that kind of money. Anyway, his third uncle has been arrested, so he won't be on the road looking for his third uncle anymore. He's doing what the country needs now, okay?

Do you really think he's stupid and can't react?!

"Tsk...that's a quick reaction!"

Hei Xiazi listened to Wu Xie's words with a look of disappointment on his face.

Another day without managing to swindle any money!

"Then these two round coffins must be the main coffins in this tomb!"

"Normally, princes and nobles who are demoted do not build grand tombs. In addition, given the location, this tomb is not very large. According to what Wu Xie said earlier, those who built the tomb and the royal palace did not come out after entering the tomb. So there should be a burial pit and some relatives related to this old prince."

“We haven’t seen any burial pits along the way. According to the ideas of feudal society, apart from the old prince’s wife and descendants, the remains of other people should not be too tall. Given the size of this tomb, it is most likely that all the others are in one place.”

Burial pit!

Following his own logic, Xie Yuchen analyzed the current situation and suspected that the two round coffins in front of him were the main coffins.

"The main coffin? Very likely!"

After Qin Henian explored the entire tomb chamber with his senses, he couldn't help but admire Xie Yuchen. She was so young, yet a genius in logic!

Now that he knew that the two round coffins in front of him might be the main coffin, it meant that the meteorite he was looking for was also near the main coffin.

An invisible wave emanated from Qin Henian at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, invisibly passing through the bodies of everyone present, as well as the coffins, stone walls, and passageways…
