Chapter 236 King Mu of Zhou is turning in his grave!
Soon, Cheng Feng and his group reached the end of the tomb passage.
Here, a sealing stone filled with molten copper blocked the way.
“Generally, the place with the sealing stone is the main tomb. Lao Cheng, should we use explosives or just break it open?”
Chen Wenjin patted the travel bag behind him, which contained detonators and explosives for the purpose of clearing the mountain.
"Let me do it. There's nowhere to hide here, and using explosives could easily get me injured by the flying debris."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng used his Boundless Demon Eye to cut a square entrance into the sealing stone.
Not only is it smokeless and dust-free, but it also poses no risk of collapse.
"With that ability, bringing the spring and autumn equinoxes would be a bit redundant!"
Huo Ling crossed her arms and sighed.
Cheng Feng's eyes returned to normal, and he said with a smile:
"Why rush things when we're out having fun? The main purpose of this trip is to experience life."
"Our family is special; to experience life, we have to go to the tombs of kings and nobles."
Chen Wenjin was in a good mood and even cracked a joke.
As they spoke, the group walked into the sealed gate one by one, and what came into view was a stone Bagua platform.
A huge three-legged cauldron was placed on the Bagua platform.
This large cauldron is nearly three meters tall, and its body is engraved with patterns and an inscription.
Behind the large cauldron, a stone coffin is placed on the platform.
This stone coffin is very simple, and it looks like it was carved out in a hurry.
It's barely usable, but its main selling point is its bulkiness.
"The inscription on this large cauldron is from the Western Zhou Dynasty. People still know very little about the Western Zhou Dynasty, so these characters cannot be translated."
Yang Xueli shone a flashlight on the inscription on the cauldron and said.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were examining the stone coffin behind the large cauldron.
They looked puzzled, and Chen Wenjin couldn't help but say:
"Judging from the layout here, it should be located on the outer perimeter of the main tomb, within the entrance to the Underworld Palace."
Why would anyone place a coffin in the underworld?
Huo Ling was completely bewildered.
"And this coffin is too simple. Could it be that it contains slaves who were buried with the deceased?"
Cheng Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"You two better stop talking. If you say a few more words, the one in the coffin will get up and come after you."
Cheng Feng's words immediately attracted the attention of the women.
After gathering around Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin asked:
"Old Cheng, did you know something about this place beforehand again?"
"Is it you again, that unreliable prophet?"
Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin each said a sentence, exposing the lies Cheng Feng had told before.
One lie often requires more lies to cover it up.
At this point, Cheng Feng could only continue to maintain his persona as a probabilistic oracle.
"The person in this stone coffin was of very high status; he once had a transnational romance with the Queen Mother of the West."
As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, Yang Xueli was the first to react.
"You mean, the person lying in here is King Mu of Zhou, Ji Man?"
Many people may not know who Ji Man is, but almost everyone has some impression of the title King Mu of Zhou.
For example, the gossip story of King Mu of Zhou and the Queen Mother of the West.
"How is this possible? How could a prince be buried in such a simple stone coffin?"
And the location is wrong too. Who would be so grand as to use King Mu of Zhou as a gatekeeper?
Huo Ling stared wide-eyed in surprise and said.
Upon hearing this, King Mu of Zhou was immediately turning in his grave.
Thick black smoke billowed out from the cracks above the stone coffin, causing the heavy coffin lids to rattle loudly.
"Xiaoling, look what you've done! You've made her so angry she's practically come back to life!"
Chen Wenjin couldn't help but laugh out loud; it was all Cheng Feng's fault for setting things up earlier.
This turned what should have been a tense situation into something inexplicably funny.
"It's my fault, it's my fault. He's already in such a terrible state, I shouldn't have described the scene again!"
Huo Ling felt deeply guilty, after all, this man was a famous monarch in Chinese history.
Unfortunately, King Mu of Zhou did not seem to accept Huo Ling's remorse.
With a loud crash, the stone slab, weighing several hundred kilograms, was lifted two or three meters by the enormous force before slamming heavily onto the ground.
Large swirling clouds of dust began to fill the tomb.
"Boss, I'll cheer you on!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Huo Ling quickly shielded everyone in front of her. In the shadows, Cheng Feng seemed to see an old friend from a book.
"You brat, just wait until we get back and I'll teach you a lesson."
Cheng Feng glared at Huo Ling, then looked at the coffin.
At this moment, a black, withered arm rested on the side of the stone coffin.
The next second, a humanoid figure, whose appearance was no longer discernible and whose body was pitch black like smoked cured meat, stood up from the coffin.
It was completely naked, without any clothing to cover its body.
Originally, it should have had an inner garment inside the jade burial suit.
However, as time went by, this fig leaf also weathered away due to the poor sealing of the coffin.
"This week's King You is almost the same as the blood corpse we encountered before, the only difference is the color."
After observing for a while, Chen Wenjin asked in a low voice with a hint of doubt.
Cheng Feng stepped towards the reanimated King You of Zhou, and at the same time explained:
"This is a blood corpse, but it's been too long and the blood has dried up."
Perhaps it's because they feel they haven't received the respect they deserve.
The blood corpse leaped out of the coffin in a rage, rushing towards Cheng Feng, who was walking towards it, accompanied by a deadly poisonous aura.
But when the blood corpse landed where Cheng Feng had originally been, it was bewildered.
Because the person who was walking slowly had disappeared from the spot.
It turned its head left and right, trying to find Cheng Feng's whereabouts.
But it found nothing; even its senses told it that the only living people around it were the few women in front.
Having become a blood corpse, it couldn't think about such a complicated situation and immediately turned its attention to the woman who had mocked it.
Meanwhile, in the eyes of the women opposite, Cheng Feng slowly shifted his position a step away the moment the blood corpse pounced.
After the blood corpse landed, Cheng Feng stood silently behind it.
As the blood corpse explored left and right, he moved along with it.
Finally, the blood-soaked corpse, completely unaware, turned its head towards them again.
"The boss is getting more and more inhuman. Will this old zongzi think it's seeing a ghost later?"
Huo Ling hugged Ah Xiang's shoulders and sighed softly.
Ah Xiang nodded in deep agreement. She never imagined that one day she would see living people playing tricks on a thousand-year-old zongzi.
Just as the blood corpse was about to make a move, a hand silently grabbed the back of its neck.
If the blood corpse had hair, it would probably all stand up at this point.
The terrified blood corpse instinctively struggled violently.
The force caused the blue bricks beneath its feet to shatter into small pieces.
Even so, the hand behind its neck showed no signs of loosening.
Hold it firmly in place.
"Since you have failed to achieve immortality, then die in peace. Staying here will not be good for the descendants of your Ji family."
After saying that, Cheng Feng suddenly exerted force and instantly crushed his spine.
The blood corpse stopped struggling, leaving only its fanged mouth still opening and closing.
It sounded like they were swearing, or like they were tearing at each other with hatred.
"Old Cheng, it's not completely dead yet."
Seeing this, Chen Wenjin quickly spoke up to remind Cheng Feng to avoid him getting hurt due to carelessness.
Cheng Feng gestured in her direction, then raised his other hand and tapped the back of the blood corpse's head.
"It's dead, but the corpse beetle king in its brain is still alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of deep red fire appeared at Cheng Feng's fingertips and disappeared.
Soon, flames erupted from the facial features of King Mu of Zhou's head, transforming into a flaming skull.
'Ding~'
The mission to remove the blood corpse of King Mu of Zhou is complete.
Reward: Perfect Corpse Beetle Pill.
