Chapter 34: The Thing in the Tomb is Online!

  Looking at the corpse with a romantic expression, Qin Feng boldly walked forward and bent down to examine the body carefully. The corpse was thin and dry, almost completely rotten, but fortunately, the skin was intact, which also puzzled Fang Yu, because if the corpse had not been specially isolated in the coffin, it would have easily rotted away, but if the geographical conditions were as good as those of the Mawangdui tomb, it might be possible to preserve it for one or two thousand years.

  But the corpse in front of him had no sealed container, nor was it mummified like a pharaoh. What method could have prevented the nearly hundred-year-old body from rotting? Curious Fang Yu picked up a dry branch from the ground and approached the coffin, casually poking at the corpse to see if there were any mechanisms.

  "Hey, don't move around, be careful of the mechanism!" Qin Feng immediately stopped Fang Yu, knowing that the San Shi Fu was on this corpse. Before removing the San Shi Fu, Xun Qian Sha, Yin Yang Sha, and Suo Guan Sha might increase in power due to accidental triggering.

  This tomb is indeed strange, the small size of it contains some weird things inside, apart from the coffin there are three objects that look like sandalwood boxes, I don't know what secrets they hold. "Qin Feng, do you want to lift these three boxes out?" Zhou Qin couldn't hide his excitement, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity might really allow him to find the true version of "Nüshi Zhen Tu".

  "No, don't rush, first destroy the three corpse symbols on the body." Qin Feng stopped Zhou Qin, then took out a ruler from his pre-prepared backpack and walked to the front of the body, shining it.

  Everyone was puzzled, and Lin Ruochen asked, "What are you doing measuring the corpse with a ruler?"

  "This is Ding Lan Chi, specifically used to measure Yin Zhai (tombs) and corpses. Apart from the three courts on a person's face, the entire body can also be divided into upper, middle, and lower courts. Measured with Ding Lan Chi, one chi from the neck down is the upper court, two chi is the middle court, and three chi is the lower court, which corresponds to the three talents of heaven, earth, and man. Only by finding the specific location of the three courts and placing three pieces of Kangxi ancient coins that have been opened to sunlight can the corpse energy on his body be calmed, and the San Shi Fu can be safely removed. Otherwise, taking down the San Shi Fu so casually will cause the evil energy of the Liu Ding formation to increase dramatically, and none of us can escape."

  In Taoism, a Tianpeng ruler is generally used for warding off evil and expelling demons.

  Soon, Qin Feng confirmed the location of the three courts on the corpse, and had someone remove the shroud to find that there were indeed three talismans on the chest, belly button, and ankle. Next, Qin Feng took out three ancient coins with his grandfather's blood and placed them on top of the talismans, saying to the people around him: "You all step back a bit, now I'm going to destroy the Three Corpse Talisman first, don't get hurt."

  Listening to Qin Feng's warning, the crowd retreated more than a dozen steps. At this time, the water in the局 had stopped flowing and was almost dry around the tomb, which indeed seemed to have been affected by the Jiugong Feixing Borrowing Yang method. The other five局 (Xingmu局, Zoubi局, Duōqì局, Tóujiang局 and Sihou局) were also like this. After Qin Feng put away the ancient coins, not long after, the three talismans actually rose naturally, with yellow smoke spreading out, already covering the entire coffin.

  "What's going on, Qin Feng?" Fang Yu asked in confusion, the smell was really unbearable, and there was a strong stench of corpses hidden in it. Everyone covered their noses and cast their eyes towards Qin Feng.

  Not long after, the yellow smoke slowly dispersed, and the crowd walked to the front of the corpse, looking at the corpse that was almost rotten, and couldn't help but be curious: "Qin Feng classmate, what's going on? The corpse was fine just now, how did it rot?"

  "That's because I destroyed the San Shi Fu, so the corpse naturally couldn't receive yin energy, that's why it rotted."

  "That's to say, the Liu Ding formation has been broken!?" Zhou Qin asked.

  "Uh-huh, probably is." Qin Feng nodded and replied.

  "Great!" With that, Zhou Qin jumped into the tomb and looked at the three purple sandalwood boxes. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he thought to himself: "I've finally found it! This is a groundbreaking discovery in the history of cultural relics!"

  When the wooden box was opened, it was found that there were only some old clothes and some photos inside. Judging from the photos, this person should be Guo Songling, but there were no antiques, let alone the original of "Nüshi Zhen Tu".

  The three boxes were all searched, and Zhou Qin and Fang Yu seemed to be very disappointed, listlessly climbing up. "What's wrong? Nothing?" Qin Feng guessed, but looking at the two people's faces had already guessed more than half.

  "There are only a few old and worn-out photos." Zhou Qin sighed and walked to Qin Feng's side, looking very disappointed. "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. I've interviewed many elderly people in the village, and they all said so. Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"

  "Never mind, if it can't be found then so be it. You can't just believe one-sided rumors, right?" Qin Feng comforted Zhou Qin.

  Since the Three Corpses Talisman has been destroyed, there's no need for those nine strong men to stand there. Before collecting the method, Qin Feng burned the Nine Flying Star Talismans again, meaning to send off the stars. What's left is nothing much, just dig out and burn the "Zhu Mu" buried in the Six Yin Formation. According to this meaning, He Suo Long quickly arranged for someone to take care of it, and soon the entire Six Ding Array was broken.

  Looking at He Suozhang and Zhang Lao, who had already left, Lin Ruochen said with some complaint: "There are only four of us left, why did you still agree to let He Suozhang burn the body himself?"

  It turned out that He Suo Chang had originally wanted to cremate the body, but Qin Feng had agreed to take care of the remaining matters himself. Lin Ruo Chen and Zhou Qin were both puzzled, unsure what Qin Feng was planning in his heart.

  "Just hold on a minute," Qin Feng explained, "don't rush to burn the body, don't you think something is strange?"

  "What's so strange about it?" Qin Feng said this and Zhou Qin was puzzled, thinking back and forth, feeling that there was nothing particularly strange about it.

  "There's something strange about this, that Liu Ding is also broken, 'Female History Admonitions' doesn't exist, it's just scary to see so many clothes and rotten photos, nothing special."

  It sounds like the defense is even more disappointing than Zhou Qin.

  "You're wrong, no doubt about it. There's nothing worth studying in the remaining things, but think again, even if Guo Songling was buried here after his death, why didn't they set up a monument to commemorate him? If it was for safety considerations, they could have given Guo Songling a grand burial, built a tomb and erected a monument to enlighten future generations. But on the contrary, they quietly laid down this six-ding array in such an empty and secluded place. Don't you think there's more to this?"

  Indeed, Qin Feng's words made everyone including Lin Ruochen look at each other in dismay, savoring what Qin Feng had just said. It felt very reasonable. Zhou Qin asked: "Yes, now that you mention it, it reminds me. What do you think, Qin Feng?"

  Qin Feng paused for a moment, thinking for a while, then replied: "I think this matter is not so simple, at least this tomb is a bit strange. Let's take a closer look inside the box and see what's inside."

  Although I had already searched for it earlier, after Qin Feng mentioned it, I had to carefully search through everything again. As a result, in the lining of several clothes in a trunk, I found a letter.

  Qin Feng opened the envelope and found a white paper inside with dense, complex characters written in traditional script. At first glance, some of the words were recognizable, while others were not. Fortunately, Zhou Qin was there, and after reading the text, his eyes widened in surprise, staring at the letter repeatedly as if he had transformed into a different person. "Brother Zhou, what does this say?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
