Zhao Ermu cursed his bad luck and asked doubtfully: "Is the coffin so poor in the first place, or was the obvious weapon taken away?"
"I feel just plain shabby. The only one who got here first is Mrs. Qi. Even if there are hidden objects in the coffin, she can't possibly touch them all by herself?"
"Siniang is right." The grim-faced Taoist priest agreed: "It can be seen from this coffin that Princess Pingdu was buried without much pomp."
"How can I see it?"
"Look, the material of the coffin is just ordinary juniper cypress wood, which is a low-grade cypress wood. We often say that coffins are divided into three, six or nine grades. Let's leave aside the rare category of dark wood here. The common coffins are "one sandalwood, two nan, three cypresses and four cedars". Better cypress wood can also be used to bury a rich man, etc., and the rest are used by ordinary people, and the coffin is the most important after death. Princess Pingdu is so simple in terms of sleeping objects close to her body, so other things such as burial objects can be imagined."
"Wow! Fighting with you guys is a great experience." Zhao Ermu nodded repeatedly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "But she is a wife of a stronghold after all, so she doesn't even have any personal jewelry, right?"
"Who knows, maybe their village fell into decline later on."
"You're so depressed that you dig such a big tomb? Why don't you dig a tomb that's too big?"
"Yes, Taoist priest, I suddenly can't understand my body." He Siniang said doubtfully: "Although Xue Shou'ao's coffin is ordinary, it has a stone coffin on the outside. It can be said that the funeral standards are not reduced at all. If we combine the whole Judging from the size of the mausoleum, it doesn’t look like it can’t even bring out the burial objects!”
The grimace Taoist priest did not answer directly when he heard this, but said: "If you want to mention the scale of the fight, then there will be more doubts."
"How to say?"
"Because the scale of the Dou is too great." The grim-faced Taoist priest replied: "Even if this Dou is placed in the royal family, it will take at least three to five years to complete. Do you think this is something that should be written by bandits?"
He Siniang and Zhao Ermu nodded after hearing this: "Yes, if their village is so shabby that they can't even bring out burial objects, how can they build such a large mausoleum?"
"So there are too many contradictions here. There must be some key points that we haven't found, such as the General Zishen who saved Princess Pingdu."
"General Zishen? Why did the Taoist priest suddenly mention him?"
"Because I suspect the corpse king in the tomb in front..."
"That's General Zishen?!"
"Yes, look." The grim-faced Taoist priest said and took out the jade pendant in his arms: "This is what I touched in the corpse king's coffin earlier."
"Rat-shaped jade pendant!" He Siniang exclaimed, "I almost forgot that the Taoist Master had picked up this thing!"
"What jade pendant? Let me take a look."
The Taoist Priest with a grimace handed the jade pendant to Zhao Ermu, who took it and looked at it, then asked curiously: "It does look like a mouse. Is this the corpse king's?"
"It must be. The thing was found in its coffin, and it can be used as a personal burial object. This jade pendant must have been extremely important to the Corpse King during his lifetime."
"It's very likely that it's the identity letter." He Siniang said.
"Yes, we all know that Rat is the Son God, so Pindao suspects that the Corpse King is the Son God General."
"That makes sense." Zhao Ermu nodded and said, "Before the corpse king was burned, his attire did look like a general. But even if he is that kind of general, what does this have to do with the question we suspect?"
"Dang..." The grim-faced Taoist priest thought for a while and decided not to tell anyone about his ancestral jade pendant. He now has a strong hunch that his lineage of immortal family Taibao is very likely to be related to the Zishen General. He even had a vague clue about the construction of the entire mausoleum. However, the matter was too complicated and involved his own life experience, so the grim-faced Taoist priest was ready to wait for the evidence to be conclusive before talking, so he immediately changed his words: "Of course it is related, because the poor Dao discovered that Mrs. Qi had returned to the tomb several times before, seemingly just to find this jade pendant."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
"Well, you two were escorting Mr. Zhao out at that time. Mrs. Qi had a chance to escape, but she didn't do that. Instead, she took the risk and slipped into the bronze coffin. It happened that Pindao was hiding behind the coffin at that time and attacked her. The groping in the coffin was clearly heard." (This chapter is not finished yet!)

"Then we can't be sure that the old witch is looking for the jade pendant, right?"
"What are you looking for if you don't look for the jade pendant? Except for the jade pendant, the coffin is cleaner than Pindao's pocket. What's more, Pindao not only heard it, but also saw her groping inside with his own eyes. It was precisely because the old witch stuck out her butt and turned around to take this opportunity. , so that Pindao can catch her and avenge her past."
"But what is she looking for?" Zhao Ermu turned over and looked at the jade pendant again: "It's just a mouse carved out of jade, there's nothing special about it? The old witch came here with the lama for the magic of immortality. Could it be that This thing can make people immortal?"
"Forget about the immortality thing. We have already analyzed it. This fight has been a trap from the beginning of its construction and has nothing to do with the immortality technique."
"Then there must be a reason why she took the risk to find this jade pendant, right?"
"There must be a reason." He Siniang said: "Old Mrs. Qi is very purposeful in her actions and will never do anything in vain. I think we should search this tomb carefully."
"Sister, do you think there is something fishy hidden in the tomb?"
He Siniang nodded: "It's very possible, my intuition has always been very accurate."
The grimace Taoist priest and Zhao Ermu couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. They couldn't understand why this woman suddenly started to play with stream of consciousness. They didn't dare to refute. They could only say: "Then let's search. Anyway, come here." Isn’t it?"
The three of them immediately began to move separately in the tomb chamber. The fluorite in the Grimace Taoist's hand was the brightest, so he was responsible for searching the area inside and outside the coffin.
The grim-faced Taoist priest first jumped into the stone coffin, and after groping around in the gaps between the coffins to no avail, he turned over and climbed into the cypress coffin.
There is not much space in the coffin. It is obviously a female coffin specially built for Princess Pingdu. If the Taoist priest with a grimace squats in it and is not careful, his hands and feet will touch the bones of Princess Pingdu. The grim-faced Taoist priest had no choice but to apologize while searching. He had a certain bottom line as a tomb robber. He generally did not destroy the bones of the tomb owner. This was a rule set by his short-lived master in the south. Among a group of local masters who had no bottom line. It is also a strange thing, and it further confirms the bloody view of "good people don't live long" in the thief family.
However, even though the grim-faced Taoist priest was so careful, he still inevitably broke several bones of Princess Pingdu. What was even more frustrating was that he found nothing at the end of the search, which made him sit down on the head of the coffin and cursed the bad luck repeatedly. .
