Chapter 213: The Tomb of Suspicion
"Crack!"
The mechanism of the stone door was triggered, and it slowly opened toward the inside, gradually revealing the majestic features inside.
Chen Ping felt happy and was about to step in.
At this moment, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and his scalp instantly became numb.
"not good!"
Chen Ping exclaimed in his heart, his skill instantly circulated throughout his body, and he subconsciously stepped on the stone door with his legs. With the powerful rebound force, his body turned into an afterimage and retreated quickly.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Countless fierce winds came, and there seemed to be high-speed bullets spitting out in the darkness.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
Those strong winds just hit the place where Chen Ping had just landed, and penetrated directly.
"so close!"
Chen Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he had been alert all the time. Seeing the bad opportunity just now, he immediately reacted and retreated quickly.
Only then did Chen Ping suddenly realize that those hidden weapons just now were actually some extremely sharp crossbow arrows. If he hadn't dodged in time, he might have been shot into a hornet's nest by now!
This time Chen Ping didn't dare to be careless anymore. He hid in the darkness and waited carefully for a while.
Finally, Shimen's mechanism no longer issued hidden weapons, and Chen Ping was relieved.
He slowly came to the stone door again, forced himself to calm down, and released his mind to the surroundings, keenly capturing all details and movements to prevent another accident.
"These hidden weapons are so overbearing and powerful, no wonder the thieves dare not come in."
Chen Ping secretly marveled, he had been careful just now, but he was still almost injured by the crossbow arrow.
Seeing those crossbow arrows go deep into the ground, with only about one centimeter of the arrow tail exposed, Chen Ping was secretly shocked.
These crossbow arrows are extremely sharp and extremely lethal. They are probably not inferior to the bullets of modern advanced weapons!
The stone door opened again, and this time Chen Ping was finally able to walk in safely.
His eyes suddenly opened up and lighted up!
The place he was in now turned out to be an extremely grand and spacious ancient tomb.
Judging from its huge size, its owner must have been a high-ranking and great figure during his lifetime.
Around the ancient tomb, there are countless luminous pearls, gold, bronze utensils... extremely precious antiques scattered densely.
Those luminous pearls emitted crystal light, illuminating the surrounding area and allowing Chen Ping to clearly see his surroundings.
But Chen Ping is not interested in these antique treasures at all. Money and wealth can no longer tempt him.
He continued to search around and finally found several coffins. After careful counting, there were actually eight coffins in total.
These eight coffins are obviously not placed randomly, but are scattered around in an orderly manner according to the Bagua directions.
Those coffins are all made of fine agarwood. Although I don’t know how many years of erosion they have experienced, there is still a faint fragrance coming out at this moment.
Fortunately, these aromas are not poisonous, otherwise, Chen Ping would have to spend a lot of time detoxifying them.
The surface of each coffin was engraved with some complicated ancient inscriptions. Even though Chen Ping was well-informed, he could not recognize the meaning of these inscriptions.
"No matter how powerful you are, no matter what kind of general or marshal you are, you will still be unable to withstand the grinding and destruction of time, and you will eventually turn into a withered skeleton."
Looking at these eight coffins, Chen Ping felt very emotional.
This ancient tomb is so grand and spectacular, and the funerary objects around it are all extremely valuable jewelry and gold. From this, we can imagine that the owner in the coffin must be powerful and of extraordinary origin.
But no matter how bright the stars are, they will fall. No matter how powerful the master was in life, he is just a withered skeleton now.
Chen Ping sighed. He was not a tomb robber. He couldn't bear to disturb the peace of these people anymore, so he decided to abandon these coffins.
Just then, something magical happened.
"Buzz buzz!"
The jade of life and death in Chen Ping's arms suddenly moved on its own, transforming into a layer of shrouding white mist and purple light.
He was shocked, and quickly kept his mind calm, forcing him to vomit out his true energy, trying to force the breath of the Life and Death Jade back.
It's just that the Life and Death Jade reacts independently at this moment and is not under Chen Ping's control at all.
The mist and light seemed to have wisdom, slowly seeping into the eight coffins.
In an instant, the mysterious inscriptions engraved on the surface of the coffin also glowed, as if they had some mysterious reaction with the ability of the Life and Death Jade.
"Is there any amazing secret hidden in this coffin?"
Chen Ping's heart moved, so he simply stopped stopping and watched the changes.
"boom!"
At this moment, an extremely weak sound came from a coffin on the left side of Chen Ping.
Chen Ping was surprised. He was sure this was not an illusion.
What surprised him was that among the eight coffins, only this one made a mysterious sound from inside.
Chen Ping's heart moved, and he silently used the mental method of ghost medicine to investigate carefully.
He sensed that the mysterious sound just now seemed to be the sound of a human heartbeat!
This astonishing discovery surprised Chen Ping.
"You are a dead person now, am I still afraid of you?"
Chen Ping became more and more curious. He plucked up the courage and slowly approached the coffin.
After a few more minutes, there was a bang and another heartbeat came from inside the coffin.
Chen Ping suddenly realized that there seemed to be something strange in the coffin.
This time he tried his best to use his mind to check what was going on inside the coffin.
A few more minutes passed, and the sound came again with a bang.
This time Chen Ping was convinced that the sound was indeed the sound of a human heartbeat.
It seems that the energy of the Life and Death Jade inspired the mysterious inscriptions engraved on the surface of the coffin, possessing some magical life energy and resurrecting the corpse in the coffin.
"Is this the origin of the name of Life and Death Jade?"
Chen Ping thought subconsciously.
He gently placed his hand on the surface of the coffin, and the sound of his heartbeat became clearer and clearer, but it only sounded once every few minutes.
"Fight! No matter if you are a dragon or a tiger, you must show your true self to meet me."
Chen Ping sneered and made up his mind.
"open!"
He suddenly exerted his power with both hands and pushed the coffin lid open with a crash.
Awesome!
A big man dressed in ancient general's clothing caught Chen Ping's eyes.
The big man remained lying on his back, looking like he had been dead for who knows how many years.
However, the miraculous thing is that his appearance is lifelike, as if he had just fallen asleep.
The skin and muscles on the body are not decayed in any way, which is indeed miraculous.
"boom!"
A few minutes later, another heartbeat came from the big man very clearly.
Chapter completed!
