One piece of shit exchanged for a profit of nearly 20,000 yuan. I really don’t want to argue with Erbao about this issue.

After placing the nine Xianfeng treasures close to his body, the sky outside gradually dimmed.

Not long after, Gouzi came back. When I saw him for the first time, I was really surprised because there was a lot of blood on this guy's body, and he was also covered in mud.

"Let me go, Gouzi, what happened to you? Did you accidentally fall into the ditch?"

When I shouted, the brothers Dabao and Erbao also woke up, but they were not too surprised after seeing Gouzi's appearance.

"Has everything been resolved?"

Dabao looked at Gouzi equally indifferently, and received mechanical affirmation.

"Well, after all, he is a close disciple of Suohun Taisui Liu Qiaomei. He is clean and tidy."

"Okay, it's almost time, break the seal and go to the tomb!"

After closing the door of the old house, the four of us went down to the cellar again.

Erbao is an expert at breaking seals. He relied on a flat-headed crowbar to pry up pieces of large wedge-shaped bluestones, while we were responsible for picking up pieces of bluestone weighing dozens of kilograms. It’s really physically demanding work.

Finally, after the sixth piece of bluestone was brought up, the transportation stopped, and the original earth cave became a robbery cave.

Erbao climbed out of the burglar's hole, lit a cigarette and started smoking against the cellar wall. No one spoke during this period.

After about halfway through the cigarette, Erbao threw half of his eye into the cave. After observing for a while, Erbao nodded to us with a happy face.

After fixing the ropes, Erbao, Gouzi and I followed the opening of the Initiation Robbery Cave one after another.

Dabao didn't go down, so he stayed on top to provide support. Originally, he planned to keep Gouzi on top. He was young and talented, so it was perfect to stay up there. However, he had no choice but to use radio to communicate with Gouzi. He couldn't speak, so in the end Dabao could only stay up there.

As for me, everyone relies on their own unique abilities to make a living. My abilities can only be used when I get to the next level.

Zhi...!

After I went down to the tomb, the half of the cigarette Erbao had dropped was extinguished when it met the water.

Looking through the searchlight above my head, I could see that there was just a small puddle of water under my feet, basically dripping down from above. The rest of the surrounding area was extremely dry.

I raised my head and looked around again, and found an oval-shaped tomb space in front of me, with a diameter of about eleven or twelve meters. This was the first time I had seen such a large tomb chamber.

The broken seal was located diagonally above the ceiling of the tomb, so our position after coming down was close to the edge of the tomb.

On the other side of the tomb, there was suddenly a stone coffin.

"I'll go and get developed!"

I screamed and walked towards the sarcophagus, but at this moment I was stopped by Erbao with his hand.

"What's the hurry? The big prize will be saved for last. Let's go see what good things are in the ear room first!"

I thought it was right, so I let go of the sarcophagus for the time being, turned around and walked towards the ear chamber on one side.

The ear chambers are two additional relatively small spaces located on both sides of the main tomb chamber. If the main tomb chamber is compared to a head, the spaces on both sides are ears, hence the name.

The ear chamber is generally used to store the tomb owner's supplies and burial offerings during his lifetime. For example, if the tomb owner liked to eat meat and drink wine during his lifetime, then the ear chamber would be used to sacrifice animals and place wine vessels.

If the tomb owner liked to wield swords and guns during his lifetime, then most of the objects in the ear room would be of this type.

And so on.

There are two auricles on the left and one on the right, facing north and south. When Erbao went to one of the auricles, the other one was left to me.

As for that bitch, as soon as he came in, he stared at the sarcophagus without moving, as if someone was trying to snatch it from him, which made me inexplicably speechless.

On the contrary, Erbao didn't take this matter to heart at all, and it felt like it was just like that.

"Baby, your brother Dong is here!"

I rubbed my hands and walked into the ear room with joy. I expected to see a lot of funerary objects, but what I didn't expect was a dozen neat pottery jars.

Each earthen jar has a lid, and it looks weird.

Moreover, the bodies of those earthen jars are not smooth, and some abstract creatures seem to be carved on the surface.

"Let me go, does the tomb owner have a mysophobia? The burial objects are arranged so neatly. Could it be that all the burial objects are stored in these earthen jars?"

He complained secretly in his heart, and walked towards the nearest earthen jar with his feet.

When I walked in and took a look, I discovered that the so-called lid of the earthen jar was not actually made of pottery, but a bronze mirror covered with green spots and green rust. The mirror was turned upside down on the mouth of the earthen jar.

I reached out and picked up the bronze mirror in front of me. Just as I was about to look at the back of the bronze mirror, suddenly a stench burst out from the earthen jar, causing me to take several steps back.

"Let me go, brother, the tomb owner, is this pickled Northeastern sauerkraut? It's so stinky, it smells worse than shit!"

I was covering my nose with one hand and complaining, but I didn't expect that the earthen jar without the bronze mirror lid would explode with a click...

As the earthen vat exploded, dark, viscous and extremely stinky liquid flowed all over the floor. It felt like a fecal suction truck had exploded.

But before I had time to gag, I actually saw a limp thing in the foul-smelling liquid.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the body of a woman!

I am also someone who has been to hundreds of tombs. I have seen many strange corpses and remains in tombs, but this is the first time I have seen such a weird corpse.

Putting aside the thousands of years that have passed, why is the body so well preserved?

Just this weird hobby of the tomb owner makes me shudder. Damn, this tomb owner was so debauched during his lifetime. Even after death, he would use women as sacrifices.

At this moment, there is nothing more than an earthen jar revealing its contents. If the rest of them explode, the scene will be horrifying.

"I'm going, I'm going...Brother Erbao, it's so weird!"

I shouted and rushed out of the ear room where I was, and rushed towards the ear room where Erbao was.

At the same time, I also heard Brother Erbao's complaints. He also ran out of the ear room. Like me, he also held a green and rusty bronze mirror in his hand.

Because the bottom of the tomb was empty, the sound was transmitted directly to the top, arousing Dabao's alertness.

Or because he couldn't hear clearly, Dabao used the radio to ask: "Er Bao... Er Bao... what's going on? What happened down there?"

Erbao frowned and was silent for a while, then replied: "Brother, the things in this ear room are too weird. I'll go up and tell you."

As he spoke, Erbao let go of the walkie-talkie on his chest, casually took out his cell phone, turned around and walked into the ear room again.

With a flash of flash, Erbao took a few photos and walked out of the room with a frown on his face and an extremely ugly face. He greeted me and Gouzi and returned to the cellar.

"What's wrong, what happened down there?"

As soon as he saw us coming up, Dabao couldn't wait to ask questions. Erbao's face was very gloomy, and he handed the phone to Dabao and asked him to look at the photos inside.

"Holy shit, how could this happen? It's so weird!"

After looking at the photo, Dabao was also very frightened. His face turned blue and white.

After a long silence, the four of us returned to the house. Dabao sent the photo directly to Liu Baye, asking for his opinion on whether to give up on this project, because the things in this project were really too big. Too weird and abnormal.

Less than a minute after the photo was sent, Master Liu sent back a brief voice message.

[Corpse Urn! The legend turns out to be true. Please send me a photo of the front of the two bronze mirrors! 】

Liu Baye's voice was shouting, and it was the kind of shouting that was almost voiceless, which was obviously quite extraordinary.

Corpse urn, legend, these two words made some of us confused for a while.

According to Liu Baye's request, Dabao hurriedly took two front-facing photos of the bronze mirrors in Erbao and I's hands and sent them over.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Baye’s voice came again.

[Who wants these two sides? I want the two sides I received before. Hurry up! 】

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Dabao hurriedly called his previous informant.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly received the photo of the bronze mirror from the eyeliner, and Dabao quickly forwarded it to Liu Baye.

After the photo was sent, the few of us did not relax because of it. We were all tense and waiting for Liu Baye's voice message, but this time one minute passed, five minutes passed, and even half an hour passed. Well, Liu Baye’s voice message has never been sent.

"Brother Dabao, what's going on? Why hasn't my godfather replied to your message yet? Is your phone number in arrears?"

"Nonsense, I saved up enough phone bills before I came here. How could I be in arrears? Wait a minute, Master Ba must be studying the inscription on the bronze mirror."

When I thought of the inscription, I took a look at the picture of the bronze mirror on Dabao's mobile phone, and found that in addition to the strange geometric figures on the bronze mirror, there were all birds, fish and insects, and not even half of the inscription was visible. Could it be that in these patterns? Is there any secret hidden in it?

Ancient coins are my strong point, but bronze mirrors are my weak point. However, I was still very curious, so I simply took the bronze mirror I brought before and Erbao Brother's bronze mirror in my hand to study it.

Experts look at doorways, while laymen look at the excitement. I am just a spectator. Looking at the snake-like coiled patterns on the bronze mirror, I felt lonely.

It made my head hurt, so I just threw it on the broken dining table aside.

At this time, Liu Baye's voice message finally arrived...

[New book sets sail, asking for all kinds of data! 】
