Zhao Qingyan rolled her eyes at Yunyou.
"What do you mean by damaging one's virtue? In later generations, all these graves were dug up, otherwise what would we use for archaeology?"
How can we know how the ancients lived if we don't dig up graves and tombs?
Besides, what am I afraid of? That concept of "yin virtue" is unreliable. Strictly speaking, you and I are both ghosts, reincarnated.
Of course, you call my soul returning to its rightful place, but you're just a complete usurper.
Putting everything else aside, the potatoes and sweet potatoes I took out were a great act of kindness.
After a while, I'll take the corn seeds out again, and that will be another great blessing.
I always felt that the previous prince and his group's arrival in these mountains was somehow related to this thing.
I took out my protective goggles, headlamp, and gas mask, got all geared up, and climbed down into the pit using the rope tied to the tree.
Yunyou had no choice but to follow along; he couldn't just watch the girl risk her life alone.
Soon, the two of them followed the previous tomb-raiding hole to the front of the tomb.
The carvings on the tomb door are exquisite, but upon closer inspection, something seems off. The flowers look a bit like Rafflesia.
"Holy crap, what the hell is buried in here? Why is this thing on the cover?"
Zhao Qingyan didn't care whether Yunyou could understand her or not, and just kept complaining.
Yunyou sighed helplessly, "A girl shouldn't use foul language."
Zhao Qingyan tapped and banged on the wall, "Ancestor, do you know how to open these mechanisms?"
Wandering head shakes
"What are you thinking? If it's a tomb chamber, there's usually a dragon-slaying stone at the back, weighing thousands of pounds, which can't be entered without force."
There's really no secret or mechanism to speak of.
If it's a structure with mechanisms, then it shouldn't be a tomb chamber, but rather a treasure vault.
Zhao Qingyan's eyes lit up. "Ancestor, your words have truly awakened me from my dream."
They pounded even harder on the tomb door and walls.
Finally, my gaze settled on the stamen of the Rafflesia.
I couldn't stand the sight of it, so I raised the shovel in my hand and slammed it down.
Sure enough, right away, we heard the door creak and groan.
The gate slowly retracted to one side, and soon the entire gate was hidden inside the stone wall.
"Holy crap, it's a sliding door, not a push-pull one. Good heavens, what could possibly be inside?"
As he spoke, he took out one or two high-powered flashlights from his spatial storage and gave one to Yunyou.
Turn on the flashlight and look inside.
The entire tomb is about 200 square meters in size, with more than 20 pillars supporting it in the middle.
You can vaguely see stone tables, stone chairs, and a stone bed inside, but you can't see any coffins when looking in from the outside.
The two observed from the doorway for a long time.
"Ancestor, do you think this is a tomb or not?"
Yunyou wanted to roll his eyes. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I've never been inside either."
Zhao Qingyan didn't waste any more words. She took out a few bouncy balls from her spatial storage and threw them into the storage space with force.
Then a series of crackling sounds came from inside, and under the bright flashlight, arrows could be seen flying out from all directions.
Suddenly, an arrow flew towards the doorway.
The two quickly dodged to the side. Luckily, the previous people had dug the hole bigger, otherwise they would have had no way to avoid it now.
Fifteen minutes later, no more hidden weapons could be heard or seen flying out from inside.
Zhao Qingyan threw in a few more bouncy balls, which flew out in different directions, and then the sound of "pop pop pop" could be heard again.
Zhao Qingyan now feels extremely frightened.
"Ancestor, isn't this the legendary case of curiosity killing the cat?"
Yunyou was speechless. "You know this principle, so why do you still insist on coming down here to explore?"
"I just felt uneasy if I didn't come and see for myself, so I had to come and see."
Zhao Qingyan pouted; she didn't want to either.
Still not entirely at ease, he threw a few more bouncy balls and then casually tossed a few shot puts out as well.
Don't ask why there are all these strange things in her space. It's because she was hoarding things and wandering around, curious about everything she saw.
Especially since she was a poor person who suddenly became rich, when she hoarded goods, she would occasionally satisfy the lack of something in her childhood.
After the shot put was launched, it triggered an even more powerful wave of hidden weapon attacks.
Once things calmed down inside, Zhao Qingyan went out and caught a wild goat.
A string of small firecrackers was tied to the goat's tail, lit, and the goat was herded inside.
Stimulated by the firecrackers, the goats ran wildly inside.
Fortunately, no more projectiles were launched this time. The goat finally collapsed from exhaustion in the corner.
Zhao Qingyan and Yunyou put on their new gear and went inside.
Once you actually go inside, you realize that it doesn't feel like a tomb at all; it looks more like someone used to live there.
The traces of life are very obvious.
The space, which is over 200 square meters, is filled with cabinets and various boxes.
The most attractive thing wasn't the cabinets and chests, but rather the stone bed.
Under the light, it is clearly made of high-quality jade.
Approaching it, and touching it while wearing gloves, I felt it was very warm, without any coldness at all.
The entire stone bed has a smooth and lustrous surface, and the material looks very much like glass-type jadeite.
"Wow, that's quite a lot! If this were jade, this bed would be priceless."
As Zhao Qingyan spoke, she touched the carved patterns on the edge of the stone bed with her gloved hand.
Shining a powerful flashlight under the stone bed, something felt off; I had a vague feeling that it was hollow underneath.
"Ancestor, there's something in here."
Yunyou sighed, "Press that red gem under the bedside table."
Zhao Qingyan was very surprised, "Ancestor, what do you know?"
Yunyou nodded, and Zhao Qingyan pressed the red gem as instructed. Soon, the surface of the stone bed began to slowly activate.
The stone bed was not a single piece of jade, but rather layered. The moment the bed surface was opened, the entire cave was brightly lit.
This was truly terrifying. Zhao Qingyan's heart involuntarily tightened, but her eyes remained fixed on the changes in the stone bed.
When the lid of the stone bed was opened, it turned out that what he had been looking at was not a stone bed at all, but a stone coffin.
Zhao Qingyan cautiously walked forward and saw a handsome man lying inside, his dark hair covering the pillow.
With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a nose like a hanging gall bladder, one could tell at a glance that he must have been a very handsome man when he was alive.
But the more Zhao Qingyan looked at her, the more familiar she felt with her appearance.
"Ancestor, don't you feel like you've seen this person somewhere before? Let me think, I must have seen him somewhere before."
In this lifetime, no, in this lifetime I could never meet a man with such charm.
If I ever see him again, I will definitely remember him. That was in my past life, in my past life, damn it, my damned old man.
