Chapter 1200 The Returnee's Notes 274
They entered the small room on the left. Unlike the main room, the light inside was so bright that it almost blinded them when they opened the door.
Besides the dazzling golden light, there were also stacks of pottery and jade.
"Why isn't there any porcelain?"
Xie Ning pointed to the pile of bronze artifacts and said, "This ancient tomb should be from an era before porcelain existed."
Besides these, there are also some wooden boxes, the contents of which are the real treasures.
Xie Ning had no desire for gold and silver jewelry. Even if these were antiques, or even antiques with spiritual power, she didn't know how to make magical artifacts, so taking them would just be a waste of her time.
Moreover, she already had more than this much in the past.
Therefore, she only took a little bit that looked decent and put it in her bag before stopping.
The others stuffed quite a bit in, but they restrained themselves, since there was still one small room they hadn't seen yet.
With her heavy backpack on her back, Xu Jiu felt for the first time that she wasn't strong enough. She thought that the tomb raiders who didn't take everything out weren't doing so because of any rules or ethics, but probably because they couldn't take so much with them when they left.
Seeing that Xu Jiu, who was so small, had packed so much, Ouyang Lin couldn't help but remind him, "There's more to come. It's not good to travel if it's too heavy."
"It's alright, I'm strong." Xu Jiu didn't care. She loved money, and these things could be exchanged for a lot of money.
The snow fox on the other side searched through each box, took only a few things, and returned with a gloomy expression.
His backpack was still full of props, and if he added any more heavy items, it would be difficult for him to walk, given his physical condition.
"Have you picked them all up?"
Yuan Ming glanced down at his watch; almost two hours had passed since they descended from the cave entrance to this location.
He originally planned to visit the main tomb, but now he estimates he'll have to leave after visiting this secondary tomb.
Moreover, he felt a vague unease. The journey had been too smooth; they hadn't sensed any ghostly presence since leaving that small tomb.
Only some mechanisms in the tomb passage restricted their progress.
Emerging from the small chamber on the left, Xie Ning glanced sideways at the coffin in the middle, which was the center of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation, surrounded by eight stone platforms.
Looking further ahead, the ground was not made of ordinary stone slabs, but rather carved with lines of varying lengths.
Just as Xie Ning was about to look ahead, Huifa stopped him, saying, "Let's go to the small room first."
Xie Ning turned to meet Huifa's eyes, but Huifa's gaze was fixed on the coffin in the center. "This is the coffin of a feudal lord."
Then, as if sensing something amiss, he added, "But it's a bit heavier than the coffins of feudal lords, which is rather strange."
Xie Ning raised an eyebrow. "You can tell the weight?"
Huifa looked down at his hand that was holding Xie Ning's arm, then released it. On his wrist was a string of wooden prayer beads. "I have some knowledge of wood."
Yuan Ming, who was walking ahead, turned back and urged the two of them, "Come on, open the door together!"
Xie Ning abandoned his previous desire to investigate. As soon as he took a step, a cold wind swept around him, and then the candlesticks on the tomb wall suddenly lit up.
The warm yellow light shone down, but it brought no warmth whatsoever; instead, it was filled with a chilling aura.
Because of the strong wind, Xie Ning lost his balance and had to help Huifa steady himself.
The light from the flashlight shone on the tomb entrance, and the hole that had been blown open seemed to have been covered up by something, leaving it completely dark.
"The exit is blocked."
As soon as Xie Ning finished speaking, Hui Fa's expression turned serious. "A ghost is approaching."
Actually, his prayer beads were already hot when he first entered the place, but everyone thought they were from the coffin, so he didn't pay any attention to them.
The plan was to set up an array to restrict the thing after taking all the treasures before taking the weapons from the stone platforms. Of course, it would be even better if the contents could be scattered.
But now it seems that there is more than just that one ghost in the coffin around.
