Shocking discovery.
Half of a sparkling crystal box emerged from the dark hole under the tree!
The crystal box is huge!
It is ten feet long and half a foot wide.
Judging from its shape, it looks more like a coffin!
Chen Yulou hurriedly ordered his men to drag the crystal coffin to the ground.
Then they walked up to the black hole.
I glanced down and suddenly felt a chill run down my spine!
All that could be seen inside the black hole beneath the tree was a huge, deep pit!
It was filled with stark white corpses!
All sorts of corpses!
Most of the remains were animal carcasses, and a small number were human remains.
Among them were the remains of about thirty brothers from the Unloading Ridge faction.
They were still wearing the clothes of the Xieling sect, and their flesh had not completely rotted away, but they had become a skin and bones of a dried corpse.
When Partridge Whistle and the others stepped forward to take a look, they couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder this ancient banyan tree has grown so huge," Partridge Whistle exclaimed. "It turns out it has always been nourished by living things."
He patted Chen Yulou on the shoulder reassuringly and said:
"Such monstrous creatures that defy the laws of nature will certainly not be tolerated by the world!"
"We can now be considered to have rid the people of a scourge."
"The brothers will surely be reborn into a good family in their next life."
Chen Yulou sighed and nodded faintly.
Li Xiaohu suddenly pointed into the cave and said, "There seems to be something else underground."
Chen Yulou and the others looked in the direction he pointed.
Amidst a pile of white bones, half of a stone tablet was discovered!
"Someone come here!" Chen Yulou wanted to send someone down to pull the stone tablet up.
Li Xiaohu reached out to stop him, saying, "No rush."
"The bones below have been piled up for who knows how many years, and they are filled with yin energy and bad luck."
"Let's wait for it to dissipate before making any decisions."
Chen Yulou thought so too, so he gave up for the time being.
Just then, the brothers dragged the crystal coffin to the ground.
Li Xiaohu and Chen Yulou and the others walked up to the crystal coffin.
Several brothers were wiping away the dirt and dust, revealing the shiny crystal surface.
Everyone found out.
Under the sunlight, the crystal coffin still shone with a deep reddish-brown hue, reminiscent of chicken blood.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What kind of crystal is this? Why is it such a strange color?"
After speaking, he glanced at Yin Xinyue next to Li Xiaohu.
Hopefully, she, with her vast knowledge of treasures, will gain some understanding.
Yin Xinyue couldn't quite tell the specific type at first glance.
He then stepped forward to observe carefully.
The crystal coffin is very clear and lustrous, and it shines exceptionally brightly in the sunlight. It is brighter than jade and more lustrous than ordinary crystal.
Overall, it has a texture similar to glutinous rice.
the strange thing is.
Unlike jade, crystal rarely exhibits gradient colors.
The crystal coffin in front of them gradually changed color from the outside in, becoming increasingly redder as you went further in!
The very center of the coffin was as red as fresh blood!
Yin Xinyue reached out and touched the material of the crystal coffin, finding the texture very familiar. Suddenly, a clue came to her mind, and she said:
"This is not crystal, but a very rare type of jade called 'Heaven and Earth Jade'. This jade is very bright and lustrous, and looks very much like crystal."
“However…” Yin Xinyue’s tone suddenly turned cold, “There are no red Hidden Heaven Jade pieces, nor are there any with a reddish tinge.”
"The red color emanating from the coffin must be from what's inside."
Li Xiaohu glanced at Yin Xinyue in surprise, not expecting her judgment to be completely correct.
Chen Yulou and the others were taken aback upon hearing this!
What kind of stuff must be inside to make it so popular?
Could it be a coffin full of blood?
The thought had barely crossed my mind when I couldn't help but shudder.
Luo Laowai didn't think that much about it; he just wanted to see what treasures were inside, and said casually.
"What's inside? Just open it and you'll find out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou glanced at Partridge Whistle and then at Li Xiaohu, seemingly asking for their opinions.
Neither of them had any objections and both nodded in agreement.
Chen Yulou gestured for his men to bring the tools for opening the coffin, and then he, Partridge Whistle, and Li Xiaohu walked to the coffin and examined it carefully.
Partridge Whistle looked around and asked with some doubt, "Why is this coffin hidden inside this ancient banyan tree?"
As if he had just thought of something, Chen Yulou took out the human skin map from his pocket.
After checking their location, he said excitedly, "This seems to be a subsidiary tomb of the King Xian's tomb!"
He then presented the map to the group for their review.
The map on the human skin marks four accompanying tombs of the King Xian's tomb, and their location is one of them!
Upon hearing that it was a secondary mausoleum, Luo Laowai behind him burst out laughing excitedly!
Since it's a secondary mausoleum, the coffin must be full of treasures!
He urged the group, "Then what the hell are we waiting for?"
"Brothers, hurry up and open the coffin!"

Chapter 167 - Drunk and Brainwashed by the Unknown Woman
Chen Yulou turned his head and glared at Luo Laowai with displeasure, saying, "What's your hurry?"
"Everything we've encountered since we arrived here has been extremely strange."
"There might be something strange inside this coffin."
"Shouldn't we clarify the situation first?"
Luo Laowai was speechless after being rebuked, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
Seeing this, Partridge Whistle smoothed things over, saying, "Brother Chen is right."
"It's not too late to open the coffin after we've found out everything."
Luo Laowai chuckled sullenly, crossed his arms, and stepped aside, refusing to say another word.
"On the other hand..."
Chen Yulou said with some doubt,
Why is there an ancient tree accompanying the mausoleum?
"Could it be that this crystal coffin is made from a tree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head and said to himself, "That's not right." "Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when building tombs and mausoleums in our country, we have always emphasized the importance of having a mound and a tree."
"Only the Yuan people from the northern grasslands spoke of neither establishing fiefdoms nor planting trees."
"The presence of a mound and a tree in front of the tomb signifies that the feng shui of the tomb will bring blessings to future generations."
"Instead of using a tree as a grave, there should be no tree covering it. This goes against funeral traditions and will make the feng shui layout inauspicious!"
"Those who are buried in trees will surely bring misfortune to their descendants for thousands of years!"
Li Xiaohu nodded affirmatively and then said, "Brother Chen is right."
"From a feng shui perspective, the presence of both trees and a mountain signifies 'embracing yin and yang, relying on mountains and water,' which is considered an auspicious sign."
