Chapter 512: A Sword

Lu Yi jumped into the passage and walked a few steps down, then he met Wu Chenzi.

"Why are you still here?" Gu Feng looked puzzled.

"I'm waiting for you." Wu Chenzi smiled and asked, "Where is the armor?"

Gu Feng then realized that this old guy was thinking about the golden armor and cursed on the spot: "Do you care about the armor or my life?"

"Everyone cares, after all, it's pure gold, and it can be sold for a lot of money if you take it out..."

"Take your sister, I almost lost my life."

"No, you have such a strong cultivation level, you are no match for that guy?" Wu Chenzi was surprised.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find the main tomb." Gu Feng said coldly.

Wu Chenzi then realized that Gu Feng was injured and hurriedly said, "Are you injured? Is it serious?"

"I can't die." Gu Feng's shoulder was strong and he twisted his shoulders suddenly. With a "click", his broken arm was instantly healed.

"Is that guy dead?" Wu Chenzi asked again.

"I haven't died, no matter how hard I beat him." At this point, Gu Feng became angry and cursed Wu Chenzi: "It's all your fault. If you weren't greedy for the armor on others, how could you cause such a problem?"

"Bad! I'm so embarrassed to blame me. If you want to blame me, you will blame me. If you didn't say he was alive, how could he survive?"

"He wasn't dead."

"Isn't your gun very powerful? Why did he still survive after blowing up his head?"

"How do I know?"

"So, I can't blame me for this matter. If I blame it, we will blame us for being unlucky."

"Okay, hurry up and find the main tomb."

Gu Feng didn't want to continue talking to Wu Chenzi. He just wanted to find the main tomb and leave as soon as possible.

There are so many strange things here, God knows what else will happen next?

Wu Chenzi led the way in front, Gu Feng followed him, and the two walked forward along the passage.

After walking about two hundred meters, light finally appeared in front of the dark passage.

"I'm going out of the passage soon, be careful." Wu Chenzi reminded.

Gu Feng ignored him.

The two walked out of the passage and a hall appeared in front of them. When they saw a bronze coffin.

The bronze coffin is about three meters long and two meters wide, standing tightly in the middle of the hall, covered with a thick layer of dust.

Neither Gu Feng nor Wu Chenzi acted rashly.

"Is this the main tomb chamber?" Gu Feng asked.

Wu Chenzi looked carefully at the layout of the hall and said, "It should be true, this should be the main tomb."

"Who did you say is buried in the bronze coffin?" Gu Feng said again.

"You ask me, who will I ask?" Wu Chenzi rolled his eyes and said, "Only by opening the coffin can you know."

"What are you waiting for? Go and open the coffin." After Gu Feng said that, he stepped into the hall.

"Wait!" Wu Chenzi hurriedly called Gu Feng and said with a serious expression: "Don't move the coffin easily."

"Why?"

"Wait until I arrange some time before opening the coffin."

Wu Chenzi put down his backpack, first three incense sticks from it, lit it, and worshiped the bronze coffin and said, "The descendant of the Jinshiwei lieutenant Wu Chenzi, now he has the fate to come here. If you disturb the senior in the coffin, please calm down your anger."

After saying that, he kowtowed and inserted three incense sticks on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a stack of yellow paper from his backpack and burned it to worship.

Finally, Wu Chenzi took out a candle from his backpack and lit it, and placed it on the northeast corner.

When Gu Feng saw this scene, he said, "I have seen it in books before. When robbing tombs, he had to light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb chamber. Is it true?"

"People light candles, ghosts blow lights, this sentence is not a joke." Wu Chenzi said: "We have a tradition of touching the gold lieutenant. Every time we enter the main tomb, we must light a candle in the northeast corner before opening the coffin."

"Is it true that when robbing tombs, if the candle is extinguished, it means that the tomb owner is dissatisfied. The tomb robber needs to put the things he has got back as it is, kowtowed three respectfully, and then exit?" Gu Feng said.

"How do you know this?" Wu Chenzi's eyes were full of curiosity.

"It's all written in the novel!" Gu Feng said.

Wu Chenzi said: "What you said just now is only a part of it. Lighting candles in the northeast corner of the main tomb chamber actually has other intentions."

"What's the purpose?"

"First, many ancient tombs are buried deep in the ground for hundreds or thousands of years, and the oxygen is very thin. If you light a candle, you can try the oxygen concentration in the ancient tomb."

Wu Chenzi pointed to the burning candle and said to Gu Feng: "Look, the candle burns normally, which means there is enough oxygen here."

"If the oxygen is insufficient, the candle will be extinguished, and the tomb robber must withdraw immediately, otherwise it may die in the tomb due to lack of oxygen."

"As for the second intention, it is related to Feng Shui."

"As we all know, the residences and cemeteries of ancient high-ranking officials and nobles often pay great attention to the Feng Shui of Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams, and we tomb robbers mainly use the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes as the purpose, observe the Feng Shui weather to find the dragon and set the cave. In the Eight Trigrams, "Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, Zhen is the thunder, Xun is the wind, Gen is the mountain, Dui is the ze, Kan is the water, and Li is the fire, and the Fengmen represents the Xun Gua, which is the location of the southeast corner."

Wu Chenzi kept talking: "Generally, the door of the main tomb chamber will be located in the southeast corner. This direction is the place with the strongest air circulation. If the candle at this direction is extinguished, it means that this place is not suitable for staying."

"This is similar to the first point you just said, and it can be regarded as the cause of oxygen." Gu Feng said.

Wu Chenzi nodded: "There is another saying that the southeast corner is the closest to the gate of the tomb chamber. The situation in the tomb is difficult to predict. If an emergency occurs, the tomb robbers can pick up the candles in the southeast corner to escape as quickly as possible to ensure safety."

Gu Feng said: "The thing you said may have been used in ancient times, but it is not available now. Now the science is so developed, with flashlights and some professional equipment."

"After that being said, it can be seen from this that the particularities of ancient tomb robbers were not stupid and blind behaviors, but were highly scientific."

"Okay, don't waste time, just open the coffin!" Gu Feng was very curious about what was inside the bronze coffin.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, let me see if there are any institutions here."

After Wu Chenzi finished speaking, he took out the copper coins and tested the mechanism in the tomb. Then he took out a handful of soybeans from his backpack and threw them out.

After a few minutes, Wu Chenzi said in surprise: "Strange, there is no mechanism in the main tomb chamber?"

"Then will the coffin be opened?" Gu Feng asked impatiently.

"Open!" Wu Chenzi said decisively: "Since you have arrived here, you will have to open this coffin sooner or later, but be careful and don't be reckless..."

Bang!

Before Wu Chenzi could finish his words, Gu Feng slapped his palm and moved the bronze coffin lid away, revealing a corner.

Wu Chenzi's face changed in fear and complained: "I said everything, tell you not to be reckless, if you disturb the people in the tomb..."

"There is no one in the tomb." Gu Feng said.

"Ah?" Wu Chenzi was stunned and quickly looked into the bronze coffin. He saw that there was indeed no corpse inside, only a sword!
