"The more famous ancient tomb traps, the more useless they are?"

Sun Yuan felt that he had really learned something new, something that would never appear in textbooks: "But the excavation of the Jiuxing Dui indicates the existence of prehistoric civilization... Why did the ancients prefer to believe in such elusive things as spells rather than technology?"

"So it's all about luck!"

Professor Xiang laughed: "Some mainly rely on such Magic Artifacts to scare people, which means we're lucky. If we encounter traps combined with Mechanical Techniques and Gu Worms, it becomes troublesome... For example, several tombs from the late Yan Han period are still difficult to develop, with no fewer than a hundred different era tomb robber skeletons found just on the outskirts..."

"So, indeed, it's luck this time."

Sun Yuan nodded, noticing that Jin Gong had already pushed open the bronze 'Blood Curse Gate', waited a moment, and signaled that it was safe.

Professor Xiang immediately stepped forward, touching the ancient patterns on the bronze door: "A treasure, a treasure indeed... And there are texts, hmm, this is ancient Yan Han script. Since Yan Han's unification of the script, the world's writing, whatever the changes, originates from this. It says—'Blood Curse... ends... Yellow Spring... return journey...'."

"It seems the tomb owner had great faith in the spells he set up..."

Sun Yuan said with a playful smile.

If the opponent were an ancient biochemist playing with Gu Worms, or using mercury or other poisons, casting some Gu techniques or poison techniques, he might be a little afraid.

But spells?

Sorry, this is a world of science!

As a young man from Xiane, about to graduate from university, Sun Yuan held a disdainful attitude toward all claims of the superstitious or supernatural.

"Air quality is normal, no traps... We can enter the main tomb chamber."

At this moment, Hu walked over and said a few words, and the group proceeded with their flashlights, entering the main tomb chamber.

To their surprise, the air inside the main tomb chamber was not stuffy; in fact, it felt slightly fresh, as if there was a constant flow of air.

The tomb chamber was not large, surrounded by metal-engraved murals, with a massive coffin in the center.

Professor Xiang was in no hurry to open the coffin, looking at the murals on the walls with great interest.

"Generally speaking, the tomb owner would record their great deeds in the form of murals and writings to be buried with them..."

Professor Xiang wiped the dust off the metal walls, looking carefully at the murals: "Huh? This landscape, it seems to be Xingshan..."

Sun Yuan looked over and was shocked.

The murals were somewhat blurred, but the rough outlines were still visible.

The mural Professor Xiang was looking at depicted a simple scene: two people fighting in the sky, one person being beheaded, with the body falling to form 'Xingshan'!

'This story, it sounds like what that person said about Tianxing!'

Sun Yuan didn't know why he felt his heart racing.

"Mythology?"

Professor Xiang's expression was one of disappointment: "Typical of early Yan Han style, where various myths and legends are integrated with life! It's a pity... I wanted to examine the real scenery of early Yan Han based on these murals!"

With the help of Hu and Jin Gong, more murals were cleaned, and some had a few lines of ancient text next to them.

Professor Xiang adjusted his glasses and sighed: "It really is an epitaph. According to the tomb owner, he was a Cultivator, calling himself 'Huang Danzi'. Hmm, he achieved a level of cultivation, forming a pill within his body, living freely and roaming far and wide. Later, during the Southern Seven Bamboo Sect uprising, he joined the Seven Bamboo Sect, fighting the northern imperial army here... Eventually, a leader with Great Divine Power among them died, and his body became Xingshan. The Seven Bamboo Sect was defeated, and he went into hiding, changing his name. But after the Absolute Celestial Impassability, he couldn't achieve immortality, so he built a tomb for himself before he died..."

"Seven Bamboo Sect uprising?" Sun Yuan's eyes lit up: "This ancient sect occupies a large part of Yan Han's history. It later split into branches like the White Lotus and the Red Lantern, and even merged with the Taoist sects. It also led to the Yellow Heaven Society, all grave diggers of feudal dynasties!"

This history exam he certainly remembered.

"Yes, excluding the unrealistic parts, we can consider Huang Danzi as a leader of the Yan Han period peasant uprising, who once led a massive peasant uprising in the early reign of Emperor Shenwu, which was suppressed... During Emperor Shenwu's early years, indeed, the country was in chaos, almost collapsing, but later many dukes and dragons across the land were smoothed out by him with a single sword, known historically as Shenwu's resurgence. Later generations commented that his civil and military achievements even exceeded those of the founding Taizu, Xiang Yu, by a margin!"

Professor Xiang was slightly excited: "No wonder this tomb is strange, not following the standards of princes but somewhat overstepping... If he really was an uprising army leader, his coffin might contain seals, Commander's Seals, and other proofs."

"So... promotion and fortune!"

Jin Gong hoisted a shout, spitting into his palms.

Watching this scene, Sun Yuan suddenly felt it was a bit comical, as if they had traveled back a thousand years, becoming a certain tomb robber in history, hoping to unearth treasures from the coffin in front of them...

"Open!"

The coffin was just the outermost layer, but it was quite heavy.

Hu and Jin Gong together, with the help of some modern equipment, managed to open it.

The group peered inside, gasping in shock.

Inside the massive coffin, it was filled with jade, gold, silk... In the center was a coffin made of a material resembling jade.

"Wow, really, if you're robbing tombs, go for those before Yan Han. Look at this, this old man had taste. Just this jade-like coffin puts things like golden threads and thousand-year-old sunken wood to shame! This coffin is a national treasure too!"

The four of them were stunned, and after a moment, it was Jin Gong who swallowed with a strong chuckle.

"Yes, it indeed reaches a national treasure level."

Professor Xiang, truly a scholar, wasn't dazzled by the gold and jade, flipping through them briefly: "There's no Commander's Seal or large seals, seems like it's buried with the person, continue opening the coffin!"

Sun Yuan followed behind them, assisting, looking at the jade-like coffin being opened. Suddenly, it was as if he saw a layer of blood flowing out from the seam.

In the next instant, everything returned to normal, as if what he saw before was just an illusion!

'This... indeed, early Yan Han tombs are full of wonders!'

'No, I'm a university student, I believe in science.'

Sun Yuan quickly reminded himself in his heart and looked again at the coffin.

Upon opening the jade-like coffin, they could see a skeletal structure inside.

"Hiss..."

The sound of gasping came through.

It was Professor Xiang, Jin Gong, and Hu, their eyes wide open.

All of them had archaeological backgrounds, and seeing skeletal remains was quite normal.

But this skeleton was clearly different! Its bones, having withstood tens of thousands of years, had become as clear as jade, resembling a piece of art!
