"Damn, you can't treat your father-in-law like this!" Crazy Zhou was utterly out of moves. Dealing with graves was not just a year or two for him, and he had encountered all sorts of traps, fully aware of their dangerous nature!
At this moment, any movement might hurt him instantly, even costing him his life!
In such a situation, where could Crazy Zhou still afford to be cocky? He could only plead with Liu Zixuan!
Liu Zixuan shrugged and chuckled, "Father-in-law? You really can say anything, huh? Just a moment ago, you were discussing how to split the treasure with me, and now you're trying to get chummy?"
Crazy Zhou displayed a look of grievance, "Come on, my daughter even let you sleep with her, and you're still bickering over these things!"
Liu Zixuan grinned, "I can save you, but we need to agree on a few conditions first!"
"You name them!" Crazy Zhou agreed without hesitation! Nothing could compare to his old life!
"First, once we're inside, I get to choose the treasures, and you can only take what's left after me!"
"This… this…"
"If you don't agree, I'll just go in myself!"
"I agree!"
"Second, when we get back, you teach me that Mystical Technique you used to enter the tomb."
"How did you know it was mysticism? Weren't your eyes closed back then?" Crazy Zhou widened his eyes and asked.
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Don't worry about it, just say whether you agree!"
"Of course I have to teach you. After all, Zhou Nian is the only descendant of our family, and now she's your woman. Who else should I teach if not you?" Crazy Zhou said helplessly.
Liu Zixuan smiled, "That's the spirit!"
Saying this, Liu Zixuan suddenly grabbed Crazy Zhou's shoulder with his right hand, his gaze sharp as his figure explosively increased in speed, dragging Crazy Zhou forward about three to four meters!
And just at that moment, the stone Crazy Zhou was stepping on suddenly sank, and dozens of arrows shot out from both sides of the wall.
The sharp arrowheads sped through the corridor, eventually embedding themselves firmly into the stone walls.
Sweat had already seeped through the back of Crazy Zhou's shirt. If it weren't for Liu Zixuan's quick speed, his body, which was nowhere near as hard as the stone, might have been pierced by the arrows, and it could have cost him his life instantly!
Patted his face to forcibly calm down.
Liu Zixuan patted Crazy Zhou's shoulder, "Alright, let's go in and find the treasure."
"No wonder it's called the Ghost Gate, the Seven-Star Tomb! Even just a tomb passage is so dangerous! Who knows what kind of terrors are inside!"
Hearing Crazy Zhou's words, Liu Zixuan paused, remembering the two pythons guarding the entrance to the Seven-Star Tomb in Lingxiu Village, akin to the legendary Tomb Guardians, suggesting that this Seven-Star Tomb might not be so simple!
The two of them walked through the passage, soon arriving at the main burial chamber.
This main burial chamber was completely different from the main chamber in Lingxiu Village, which had only one coffin and a few beads, whereas here, there were several times more things!
There were four coffins alone!
However, there were no large pillars or a pool here, with the four coffins placed in the corners, and in the middle stood a large statue.
The statue was not revealing, holding a knife in its left hand and a shield in its right, and its burly body appeared mighty and imposing!
Strange murals depicting ancient battle scenes adorned the surrounding walls!
On the front wall of this burial chamber was something resembling the Water Moon Cave Heaven.
A circle with a diameter of about one and a half meters, with a few iron rods rotating in the middle and water occasionally flowing out, which then flowed continuously to the base of the central statue!
"The things of the ancients are truly incomprehensible!" Liu Zixuan muttered as he looked at the scene.
"Strange… So strange!" Crazy Zhou mumbled as he walked around with his hands behind his back.
"What's so strange about it?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.
"Whether in ancient or modern times, the main burial chamber is the resting place of the tomb's owner. Even if there are people buried with them, fixed coffins wouldn't be placed inside. But look, there are four identical coffins in this main burial chamber."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan pondered, "Could it be to confuse people, with only one of the four being real?"
Crazy Zhou shook his head, "No, all four coffins are fake, either empty or filled with burial items! There's no one inside!"
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "You're that sure?"
"Kid, don't forget what my ancestors did!" Crazy Zhou replied smugly, taking large strides to one of the coffins, and after fumbling around for a while, a 'click' sound suddenly echoed!
The cover of the coffin rumbled open by itself!
As Liu Zixuan leaned in for a peek, the coffin was completely empty!
Curiously, he muttered, "Then this tomb owner must have too much time on their hands. If there's nothing inside, why even place a coffin?"
"This might be related to the tomb within a tomb I mentioned. The four coffins might be used to confuse future generations, and perhaps correspond to something else."
"Correspond to what?"
"I haven't figured it out yet!"
Saying this, Crazy Zhou opened the remaining three coffins as well, and they were all equally empty!
Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead in frustration, "Didn't you say there were some world-class treasures here before? Where are they?"
"Who said the world-class treasures have to be in the main burial chamber!" Crazy Zhou immediately retorted, "Can't you see there are two side chambers? You go left, I'll go right."
Liu Zixuan rolled his eyes at Crazy Zhou and walked into the left side chamber.
The side chamber was noticeably smaller than the main burial chamber, but there were many small objects.
The first things that caught his eye were two dusty paintings, with a large chest beneath them!
Liu Zixuan tested and fiddled with the chest, ensured there were no traps, and then opened it directly.
As the dust settled, Liu Zixuan could see what was inside.
"Wow, this tomb owner must have been a scholar!"
The entire chest was filled with the Four Treasures of the Study, but mostly crafted from rare jade and only a few pieces made of gold. This chest, along with the paintings, if sold, would be worth at least a few million!
Liu Zixuan closed the chest and looked further inside.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up!
Amidst a pile of gold and silver jewelry, what truly caught Liu Zixuan's attention was a statue standing among them, clutching a Silver Needle in its hand!
The Silver Needle emitted a dazzling light, with faint heat radiating from its tip.
Liu Zixuan hurried over in a few short steps, murmuring in delight, "The fifth Ghost Gate Needle, the Profound Yang Needle! Legend says that when Profound Yang and Profound Yin appear together, doesn't that mean the Profound Yin Needle is in the right side chamber?"
For him, the Ghost Gate Needle was a treasured item, and without considering anything else, he directly took the Silver Needle from the statue's hand. A burning sensation immediately appeared, almost causing it to slip from his hand.
Yet, at this moment, danger also… descended!
