Chapter 81: Treasures of the Tomb
the fastest flight out of Zhongzhou City. At this moment, she had just stepped off the plane.Looking at this unfamiliar city, she was filled with pain and confusion. The blows from a few days ago had...Since Wang Lin entered the Refining Heart Realm, Lao Er could leave his body for a short time, but five meters was the limit. Any farther and it would be like encountering a barrier, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take another step.
"Boss, move around!"
Wang Lin got up and moved forward bit by bit along McDonald's. Lao Er was searching and sweeping underground.
Two hours later, Lao Er gasped back into Wang Lin's mind. He had returned four times during that time, each time resting for a while before setting off again.
We haven't even searched half yet, suddenly Lao Er shouted, "Big Brother, there's something down there!"
Wang Lin heard the sound and immediately became excited. Wow, there really is something here. Something that would catch the village chief's eye. Could it be a tomb
"What's up"
"There's a big rock down there, but it's just out of reach. I can't get to the bottom of the rock!"
Their village's land was cultivated on the mountain, it's normal for the soil to be rocky. However, since there might be ancient tombs, anything done is worthwhile.
"A big rock"
"Yes! Especially big, and very regular."
Wang Lin's heart filled with joy. A perfectly shaped stone indicated that what lay beneath was definitely not ordinary.
He rushed home and in a short while came out carrying an iron hoe, shovel, pickaxe, and other tools.
Back on the ground, he picked up his hoe and swung it. He alternated between four different tools, and Wang Lin dug the holes at an incredibly fast pace.
After more than half an hour, he dug a pit one and a half meters in diameter and five meters deep. The bottom was stone and he couldn't dig any further.
"Second brother, go take another look!"
While he was digging the hole, Lao Er would occasionally go down to take a look, but all he ever saw were stones. Now he could only hope that the stone wasn't more than five meters thick.
"Boss, there's something here. This seems like a real ancient tomb, and it must be very old."
"Good! Let's see where we can get in!"
Wang Lin excitedly rubbed his hands together, overjoyed. Now he was going to be rich!
"Boss, you should dig east for about four meters now, and then you should be able to keep digging down. We still can't see the entrance."
"Okay, I'll start digging right away! But make sure you dig up something good!"
He swung his hoe with renewed vigor, the speed surpassing that of before. His arms whirled like a windmill, ceaselessly moving, and a new pit gradually took shape.
Another half hour passed, and Wang Lin was gasping for breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The relatively enclosed environment made it difficult for air to circulate, and he was starting to feel a little suffocated.
"How's it going, second brother!"
"Boss, keep digging down!"
"Wish. to. day! You're damn right, you have it easy talking from your position! You're about to make me drop dead! I need a break and will go home and grab a battery-powered fan."
Wang Lin crawled out of the cave, lay on the ground for a while to rest, and then went home to get his equipment.
"Tonight, I'm going to stay in this tomb. I don't believe that after a whole night, I won't be able to get in"
By constantly encouraging himself, his physical fatigue gradually subsided. He drank some water, held the fan and climbed down the pit, opened the fan, then spat into his hand, rubbed it together, picked up the shovel and started digging again.
He dug all the way until two in the morning before he finally entered the tomb. As soon as he went in, he backed out again because the environment, being sealed for a long time, had no oxygen left inside.
He moved the fan over and blew it into the grave, then took out a flashlight and shone it inside.
This tomb is not very large, about twenty meters in diameter, the coffin faces northwest, and is about three meters high.
There were no burial goods around the coffin, which made Wang Lin a little depressed. He had put in so much effort, and in the end, there was nothing left, it was a letdown.
An hour later, Wang Lin stepped back into the tomb. The space was large, but it felt rather empty due to the lack of burial goods.
"Second brother, I'll walk slowly. Make sure there are no traps around."
Okay!
If you follow the pattern of TV shows, tombs usually have traps. For your own safety, slow down and be careful. At least that way you'll be safe.
He slowly moved forward, until he reached the coffin. He didn't find any mechanism, but he couldn't be careless; perhaps all the mechanisms were concentrated on the coffin itself.
He picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it at the coffin several times. Besides the echoes, he didn't notice anything unusual. He wrapped his clothes around his hands to avoid skin contact with the coffin, then scrambled up onto it in a few moves.
I pushed open the coffin lid with all my might, but instead of a body, I found only scraps of clothing.
"Grandpa's, wasting feelings!"
Wang Lin was not quite willing to give up. He held the flashlight and carefully scrutinized it over and over again, finally discovering something shiny under the debris.
This thing only showed a corner of itself. If he hadn't shone his flashlight on it and observed it carefully, it would have been easy to miss.
He was excited again, as it is well-known that reflective objects from ancient times were more valuable.
Although the tomb owner appears to have been from humble beginnings, the fact that it has survived to this day intact already proves the value of this object.
"Second brother, go and have a look. What kind of treasure is this Is it connected to any mechanism"
He was not swayed by desire and remained cautious at all times.
"Boss, it's a long thing, kind of like your ruler! There are no mechanisms."
Lao Er's excited voice reached Wang Lin, who also became expectant. He stretched out his hand, which was still tangled in his clothes, and reached towards the reflective surface.
After pinching one corner and pulling hard, but the thing didn't budge, my hand slid right out.
"So heavy"
He didn't believe in evil and squeezed the corner again, but this time he was slowly increasing the pressure. The thing, following the upward pull of Wang Lin's finger, slowly appeared in his line of sight.
As if a sword drawn from its sheath, a flash of gold illuminated the space. Wang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully examined the treasure in his hand.
One could see that the patterns on top shimmered in the light, as if clouds in the sky, rolling and swirling. They also resembled surging rivers of water, carrying with them a thousand piles of snow.
The overall shape resembles a sword, with a handle for holding. The handle is decorated with intricate patterns and engraved with the words "liang tian" (literally "measure the heavens"), giving it an air of mystery and grandeur.
The "blade" portion is similar to an iron ruler, about two inches long. However, it lacks a deadly point and edge, making it appear less like a traditional lethal weapon.
He narrowed his eyes and looked up and down, his heart filled with surprise that overflowed in his words. “This is the ruler of heaven Hahaha, my treasure! A priceless treasure!”
Shine the flashlight on one side, and instantly the light on the ruler would dim, becoming almost invisible. Then, shine it back, and its surface would burst forth with a dazzling glow again. After this, take it out to fight, won't it blind the other guy's eyes!
He held the measuring stick in his hand, stirring it around inside the coffin. He didn't find anything valuable. The entire tomb had already been explored by Lao Er just now, and there was nothing.
Wang Lin wasn't greedy either. Finding such a divine tool, everything was worth it. He quickly left and filled the hole he had dug, but when he got to the end, he found a large pile of dirt with nowhere to put it.
"Whatever, just in time to tell the village head that someone got there first. When the time comes, even if he doesn't admit it himself, there's nothing he can do about it.", he found that the cliff bottom was surrounded by steep cliffs. Helpless, he could only choose a cliff that seemed lower and start climbing.Half an hour later, Wang Lin's hand finally reached the top...
