Chapter 388 My Backbone Is Not Strong Enough
In the desolate underground cave, the sea water once again wet the entire stone slab. The iron coffin was dragged ashore by everyone. Even Jin Xuan, who was always strong, was a little skeptical, "It's so heavy."
"It's not heavy, it's a thousand-pound bond." Lin Du glanced at the restriction above, "Without a specific key, ordinary people can't shake it at all."
"Not to mention dragging it up."
But these people are not normal people at all. Mo Lin and Ni Jinxuan have been training their strength since childhood. As for the rest, let alone Xia Tianwu and Yuan Ye, even Lin Du, whose body is obviously weaker than that of an ordinary person, has considerable strength and even more powerful explosive power.
Although the coffin was restrained, it was still dragged up by them.
Purely relying on strength.
"Fu Si Fang is really good at hiding things."
Yan Qing sighed, "As expected, if you have a big family and a lot of money, you have to think of some cunning schemes to hide your wealth."
"Others hide in ditches, they hide in the sea, so where do we, the Supreme Sect, hide ours?" Yuan Ye asked curiously.
Lin Du: ...Don't talk about it. There's nothing good to hide. It's all stuffed in the warehouse. Spend it where you can. Never save.
The group of people studied it for half a day before they finally disassembled the coffin.
"We can open the coffin now!!!" Yuan Ye raised his arms and shouted.
"Wait a minute." Xia Tian stopped everyone, "Be careful of the poisonous mist, wear a mask."
Implement the strict protection of the junior master, wear gloves when opening the lock, and wear a mask when opening the coffin.
"Really?" Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, "Then aren't they afraid of being poisoned to death by Fu Si Fang?"
"It's better to be on guard against it. There are a lot of toxins on the surface of the coffin alone." Xia Tianwu said as he put on a mask and prepared to open the coffin.
Everyone looked down at their hands at the same time, "Did you wear gloves when you carried the coffin in the water?"
"I don't have any?"
…
Lin Du was silent, and everyone started washing their hands and taking out their pills.
"It's okay. Just don't drink the water nearby. Just wash it." Xia Tian said without hesitation.
Fortunately, everyone who went down had put up a self-defense spiritual power shield. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed the pill for safety.
Just as Lin Du was about to open the coffin, she inadvertently saw Yue Han grabbing something in the air with his eyes sparkling.
"Yuan Ye! Yan Qing! Look, bugs are falling from the sky! So many delicious bugs!"
Lin Du: ...It’s going to happen.
Several people stepped forward and tried to control the young master who was running around and finally turned into his original form. They forcibly pried open his beak and stuffed a detoxification pill and a heart-clearing pill into his mouth.
"What humans eat, will it be useful for the peacock to eat?" Yuan Ye held half of the peacock's wing and felt that the child was a little too strong and he could hardly hold it down.
"In theory, it's useful for spiritual practice." Xia Tianwu pondered the language, "But in reality, I've never been a veterinarian."
Seeing that Yue Han had calmed down a little, everyone let go.
Lin Du looked at the iron coffin, which was not corroded by the sea water. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "I say, do you think this iron coffin looks familiar?"
"Eh? It seems like it. I didn't notice it at the bottom of the sea. It looks familiar." Yuan Ye turned his head and looked at it for a while.
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands, "That! That secret place!"
"In the Zhongzhou competition, we inexplicably drew the secret realm of the ancient city of Liyang!" Ni Jinxuan looked at Lin Du's face and recalled, "At that time, it was also Yuan Ye who opened the iron coffin!"
"Then, could there be some... thousand-year-old ghost in here?" Yuan Ye hissed, recalling the days when he played the harp on someone's coffin.
"Wake up, even a thousand-year-old ghost can be defeated with just a slap in the face." Yan Qing patted him on the head.
At this moment, the dizzy Peacock Young Master stood up, suddenly walked to the front of the iron coffin, and spread his feathers with a swish.
Lin Du was thinking about the deeper meaning behind this:
Yuan Ye pushed the confused thing away, but who knew that the peacock moved to another place and opened its mouth again with a whoosh.
Several people from the Supreme Sect were worried that it would inhale the toxin again, so they tried to chase it away one by one. However, Yue Han was persistent and after being chased away, he moved to another place and opened the screen again in a flash.
Lin Du was amazed. It was like the colorful fans in the hands of a square dance troupe, which opened with a swish, folded up with a swish, took a few steps, and opened with a swish again, persevering.
"It's not even the mating season for this cub yet, and it's not spring yet." Yuan Ye pondered, "What kind of poison has this function?"
Yan Qing hissed, "What are you thinking about! This is clearly a peacock dance, look at this kid, he's even spinning around!"
"I think I know roughly what's in this coffin." Lin Du was reminded by Yan Qing and thought about it. "In ancient times, the peacock swallowed the Buddha and was later named the Buddha Mother. At that time, Yunmo Luo's totem was the ancient peacock. This is probably... the Buddha Mother's..."
"Spine." The space fluctuated slightly, and a jade-colored figure appeared in front of everyone.
Wei Zhi looked at Lin Du and said, "You really love reading."
Lin Du nodded slightly, "How dare I? The master is still ahead."
Wei Zhi's eyes flashed with a strange look when he heard this, "One cannot grow old in vain."
Lin Du's eyes fell on him, "Master, you don't want to go down to collect them yourself, but wait for us to go down and collect them before joining us?"
Wei Zhi coughed lightly and said, "It's not found."
Who could have imagined that there would be a coffin hanging under the sea in Fu Sifang? He had already searched the entire island thoroughly.
"You want that piece of spine?" Lin Du asked curiously, "Why?"
Wei Zhi raised his eyes, his gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Lin Du. He paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Maybe it's because my spine is not strong enough."
Lin Du:……?
Wei Zhi was still standing in the shadow, and finished the rest of his words, "It can't support the future of Yunmo Luo, nor the future of Dongming Realm."
The sound was very soft, almost like a soliloquy. Even the extremely sensitive Lin Du did not hear it amidst the constant paddling of Yue Han and the sound of the surging waves.
"You can have the spine," Lin Du said with a smile, "It's the same old rules. We are a professional team. I guarantee you will be satisfied. We will deliver the goods as soon as you pay."
Wei Zhi nodded, "Of course."
Lin Du was satisfied, and he and Yan Qing began to work together to break the specially made magic iron chain with traces of formations and weapon refiners on it.
"Alright! Jinxuan Molin, open the coffin!"
They both lifted their feet at the same time, and the coffin lid was kicked open completely.
Inside was a corpse that had already turned into bones, and around the body were buried countless rare gems, magical treasures, and even scrolls of calligraphy and paintings.
What was strange was that, where the abdomen should have been, there was a section of spine with a faint luster quietly hanging, but the spine of the corpse was intact.
It was undoubtedly a piece of Buddha's bone.
"One hand hands over the money, the other hand hands over the goods." Wei Zhiyuan threw six shells to her, "We really don't have any more."
Lin Du understood, he was counting the number of people before giving the money.
When he saw the Buddha's bones, Yue Han spread his wings wide, stood on tiptoe, and danced gracefully.
Ni Jinxuan asked in a low voice, "Isn't it a bad idea for us to give away the spine of our ancestors in front of the young master of the Peacock Clan?"
Lin Du nodded and said, "You are right. Let's give him some of the malachite here."
At least I went to sea with them, and even if I didn't make any contribution, I still worked hard.
Yan Qing suddenly noticed a jade slip. He picked it up and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Little Master! Do you still remember the statue and the incense path when we were in the ancient city of Liyang?"
Lin Du turned his head suddenly, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, "What's wrong?"
