Chapter 28: The True Face of the Tomb Chamber

  Chang Qingzi's eyes grew stranger and more astonished as he looked at the ghost. If it weren't for the ghost's behavior, which made Chang Qingzi certain that this was her first time in the ancient tomb, he would have thought she had come prepared. Because no one expected they would walk for so long, estimating that a whole night had already passed. Among the three of them, only the ghost had prepared enough food and water. According to the ghost, it was her master, the Ghost Eye Master, who had prepared it, and he had instructed her not to move before coming to the ancient tomb. This sentence made Chang Qingzi and Yin Huan Yue both stunned for a moment, then they fell into deep thought. Did this Ghost Eye have precognitive abilities?

  It's not actually precognition, but rather Ghost Eye's long-standing experience or meticulous preparation.

  "That's it." The ghost's one sentence pulled back the two people's increasingly distant thoughts.

  Chang Qingzi took a look and indeed reached the bottom. Because standing on this stone platform, you can clearly see the ground below, and the ground below seems to be no darker than the outside. Everywhere is inlaid with fist-sized bright pearls. Compared to the upper stone platform, here can be said to be poor and shabby. Except for the night pearls, there is nothing else here. Even the ground is just ordinary soil, as if it had been forgotten to repair. As soon as the three of them stepped on it, they felt that the ground was a bit damp, apparently they really reached the bottom.

  The underground space was not small, and the three of them continued to walk forward, where they saw a white jade coffin quietly lying there. There were no extra decorations next to the white jade coffin, it was simply placed there. The sharp-eyed trio could all see the wet mud that had accidentally splashed onto the bottom of the coffin.

  "Could this be the resting place of the tomb's owner?" Yin Huan Yue said.

  "It's really too strange." Chang Qingzi also shook his head and said.

  Just as the two were speaking, the ghost was getting closer and closer to the white jade coffin.

  "Ghost?" Chang Qingzi exclaimed.

  "Just pry open this stone coffin and you'll know." said the ghost.

  "Alas." Zhang Qingzi let out a soft sigh and resignedly walked over. Yin Huan Yue followed suit, also walking over.

  Chang Qingzi went ahead and pushed it with force, but the stone coffin didn't budge. Chang Qingzi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the ghost and Yin Huan Yue's eyes again.

  That gaze clearly says, it's time to put your Blood Tears Sword to use.

  Chang Qing's eyes twitched, as if every time he calculated their moves, he also implicated himself. His own Tiexue Sword, a divine and sharp weapon, had now become a specialized tool for prying things open.

  However, the Tiexuesword was indeed sharp, and the stone coffin lid that had not moved began to loosen. Chang Qingzi took a deep breath and made a bold move, and the movement of the Tiexue sword gradually became bigger. Yin Huan Yue saw this and took over Chang Qingzi's action, using her spiritual power to push open the stone coffin lid with both hands.

  The three of them immediately retreated a distance, no one knew if there were any more traps inside the stone coffin, maybe everything was just an illusion. The three of them waited for a long time on the side, but the stone coffin remained still. So the three of them also walked towards the stone coffin with bated breath.

  "This is it!" Yin Huan Yue exclaimed.

  Chang Qingzi pursed his lips and remained silent, while the ghost curiously and unscrupulously sized him up.

  There is a female corpse in the stone coffin. According to the time of existence of the tomb, this female corpse should have existed for hundreds of years. Without any protection, it was preserved so well.

  The female corpse in the stone coffin was dressed in exquisite brocade clothing, with delicate flower patterns on her shoes and soft fox fur trim. Her face could be described as "peerless beauty, captivating the city" if one ignored the pale complexion. Underneath her head rested a crystal pillow, while her body lay on a thin mattress made of golden silk satin. Her black hair was neatly draped over her shoulders without any adornments. A crystal necklace hung around her neck, and her hands were clasped together in front of her. Each wrist wore a jade bangle, and a red agate ring adorned her middle finger. There were no other objects surrounding the corpse. Honestly, this didn't quite match the grandeur outside. It seemed like she had been forcibly placed here, but the corpse's appearance was not common; she must have been a person of great nobility in life. It was puzzling why the exterior was so luxurious while the interior was like this.

  "Is it just to bring people in to see the beauty of a female corpse?" The ghost asked strangely.

  "Ghost, you don't understand." Chang Qingzi said with a smile.

  "What don't I understand?" the ghost asked.

  "If it wasn't us who came in, but rather tomb raiders or hot-blooded men, what do you think they would do when faced with this situation?"

  "This woman's corpse had offended people when she was alive? And even after death, she is still..." said the ghost.

  Chang Qingzi suddenly grabbed the ghost's arm and pulled him back, at the same time, Yin Huan Yue also retreated backwards, the three of them stood together once again.

  "I don't know if this woman had offended anyone when she was alive, but everyone who came in here ended up dead, that much I do know," Chang Qingzi said.

  Is the corpse gone? The ghost looked at the stone coffin again. So, this female corpse wasn't preserved by some special method, but rather by draining people's blood and energy to maintain its current state. Where did the bones go... wait, the bones! The ghost suddenly froze, then stared at Chang Qingzi and asked: "You knew all along, didn't you!"

  "What do you know?" Chang Qingzi laughed and said.

  "Those golden bricks, jade trees, pearls and agates are all transformed from bones, with an illusion spell cast on them." The ghost said resentfully, this Long Qingzi is intentionally doing this, intentionally!

  "Don't you know that this is excellent material? I've left so much for you, how can you blame me instead?" Chang Qingzi continued to smile, but in fact, he was already delighted, because it was the first time he saw such a rich expression on a ghost's face.

  "Yin Huan Yue!" The ghost suddenly cried out.

  "What?" Yin Huan Yue was originally in a good mood watching the play when she was suddenly called out by the ghost, and she was stunned for a moment.

  "Give me money and I'll sell you these things," said the ghost.

  "Are you selling it to me? But I only have this much." Yin Huan Yue said, taking out a few silver notes.

  "That's enough." The ghost handed over a small cloth bag and then took the silver ticket away.

  "What's with this small pouch?" Yin Huan Yue asked, this space was even larger than her own Qian Kun pouch.

  "No more." The ghost gritted its teeth and said.

  Chang Qingzi on the side had already lost his usual demeanor, holding his belly and laughing non-stop. "Haha, I said, didn't your master ever teach you these?"

  The ghost beside him didn't speak, the master had told him that such materials existed, but the master said they were only mediocre, truly top-notch ones were nurtured by nature. Moreover, his own things had never been cheap goods. Adding to that, he himself had always disliked these things, so it was true that he had never used them before.

  Chang Qingzi was even more certain of his thoughts, that ghost eye was too mysterious, for the people here who thought it was a superior material to be disdainful of, which means, he came from there?
