Chapter 346 The Golden Coffin and the Black Jade
Tian Youjin was unwilling to leave, and his strong obsession overcame his fear.
His desire for wealth and the sound of thunder quickly pulled him out of his rational thinking, and he returned to his obsessive obsession.
Based on his subordinate's description, Tian Youjin looked thoughtfully at the statue.
"Which deity did we just kneel before?"
"The one on the right."
Tian Youjin nodded, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Third brother, go to the statue in the middle and repeat the actions we performed when we worshipped it before."
The subordinate, referred to as the third brother, agreed without hesitation.
Before leaving, the third brother took off all his weapons and equipment.
"Everyone be careful. If the third brother gets tricked, you must rescue him immediately."
This third brother was his most trusted confidant. He wouldn't care how many mercenaries died, but the death of even one of his trusted confidants would be enough to make him feel the pinch.
Soon, the third brother removed all his equipment and walked towards the statue.
Following Tian Youjin's instructions, he knelt down in front of the central statue and began the ritual of worship, just like Tian Youjin and the others before him.
As the ceremony progressed, the third brother, who had previously been expressionless, became devout.
Just as the ceremony was about to end, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards the wall, seemingly intending to bang his head against it.
"Oh no! Help!"
As soon as Tian Youjin’s urgent voice rang out, his subordinates, who had been alert to the impending change, quickly stepped forward.
At the critical moment, he tackled the third brother who was about to run him over.
"Wake up!"
One of them slapped the third brother's face, and he quickly came to his senses.
"What am I?"
"You've been infected."
After responding, the man pulled the third brother up from the ground.
Tian Youjin was filled with relief; he was just a hair's breadth away from losing another trusted subordinate.
"Third brother, come back first. Erhu, you go take the last statue. Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be able to enter Thunder City soon."
All the regrets of the first half of my life can be erased there.
Tian Youjin skillfully painted a rosy picture. Having been a boss for many years, he was well-versed in using promises to entice people.
Like the third brother, Erhu immediately agreed.
Then they proceeded to the last statue and began the ritual.
Things went surprisingly smoothly this time. As his kneeling ceremony was completed, the statue suddenly emitted a rumbling sound.
After turning halfway around, a hidden passage behind the statue was revealed.
"Boss, the entrance is open."
"Alright, gather any usable supplies. We must find the treasure of Thunder City so that these brothers don't sacrifice themselves in vain."
You and their families will all receive your due share.
Tian Youjin's words were quite effective; at least the remaining five people didn't look so bad.
After collecting the supplies, the six people, including Tian Youjin, entered the secret passage.
After overcoming countless hardships, Tian Youjin finally stepped into the Thunder City he had longed for.
Meanwhile, Cheng Feng had just finished resting in the core area of Lei City and was now searching the secret room where the coffin was placed.
After a while, everyone gathered together.
Hei Xiazi said, "What can be confirmed is that there are no mechanisms or hidden compartments in the walls and the ground."
After he finished speaking, Chen Wenjin continued from where Hei Xiazi left off:
"This is the only place that hasn't been searched yet."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the only coffin in the tomb.
Soon, a group of seven people surrounded the coffin. They first looked around the coffin, but found nothing.
"It seems all the answers are in the coffin."
Black Bear tapped on the coffin lid and spoke.
"Then open the coffin."
Upon hearing the boss's directive, Hei Xiazi walked to one end of the coffin and placed his hands on the lid.
With a forceful push, he easily opened the coffin lid a crack.
Chen Wenjin shone a flashlight into the coffin, and everyone was surprised when they saw what was inside.
"Why is there water in here?"
After discovering there was no body inside, Hei Xiazi pushed the coffin lid aside and opened the entire coffin.
The golden liquid inside the coffin shimmered and sparkled under the light, displaying a mesmerizing luster.
"Did Wu Sansheng mention anything about this coffin?"
Chen Wenjin asked Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling shook his head. He had already told everything he had learned from Wu Sansheng, without omitting anything.
"Or we could clean the water out of the coffin first; maybe that non-human being is hiding underneath."
Huo Ling, with her cleverness, offered her own opinion.
"No, the gold liquid inside cannot be touched."
Cheng Feng quickly stopped Huo Ling from having such a wasteful idea, as the golden liquid in the coffin was the key to listening to thunder.
Cheng Feng didn't know the exact composition of the liquid in the coffin, after all, it was something from thousands of years ago.
These were extremely rare treasures back then, and now almost all of them have been lost to history.
"If we don't move the gold and water, then we'll have to go inside the gold and water to check."
Black Bear was eager to try; he was ready to dive.
"No need to bother."
Cheng Feng interrupted the blind man's exploratory desires, then reached into the coffin.
Cheng Feng's Six Arts of Water Demons can be used wherever there is liquid.
By listening to the rippling sound and observing the jade-like color, Cheng Feng probed inside the coffin through the golden water.
Instantly, Cheng Feng noticed something amiss; there was indeed a hole directly beneath the coffin.
"Xiaoling guessed right this time; there really is a cavity under the coffin."
Withdrawing his hand, Cheng Feng turned his head and said with a smile.
Huo Ling responded with a sweet smile, but quickly frowned and said:
"How can we get in without touching the gold and water?"
"You can't touch the water inside, but it doesn't say you can't touch the whole coffin."
As Cheng Feng spoke, he opened his Boundless Demon Eyes. Since he had decided to pack up the Thunder Listening Artifact, he would naturally take the accompanying facilities with him as well.
The power of banishment instantly enveloped the entire coffin.
In the blink of an eye, the golden coffin that had been placed in front of them vanished.
Only a flat ground and pieces of black jade in the center remained.
The crowd, accustomed to Cheng Feng's ability to manipulate objects out of thin air, were not surprised; they simply gathered around the black jade stone.
This piece of jade appears to be pure black, but when the light is focused on it, it faintly glows with a green light.
Its diameter exceeds one meter, and it is a regular hexagon. If each of its corners is connected by a line, it forms a six-pointed star.
"Look, there is a totem of the Queen Mother of the West inside this jade."
Yang Xueli held the flashlight up to the jade, and the entire jade was immediately illuminated by the light.
Inside, a three-dimensional snake, insect, and bird totem is vividly depicted.
"What an amazing technique! How did the Queen Mother of the West manage to embed the totem into natural jade?"
Aside from the large, seemingly multi-functional ship, everything revealed by this small piece of jade is quite extraordinary.
The jade was undoubtedly natural and showed no signs of being broken, yet the totem of the Queen Mother of the West appeared inside the jade.
The more I think about it, the more jarring it seems.
"Put it away for now, and we can study it slowly when we get back. Right now, finding the evil god's split body is the most important thing."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng opened his eyes and used his Boundless Demon Eye to harvest the jade stone along with a small piece of stone brick next to it.
