Chapter 1048

Taking a day off at the beginning of the month

"Hey, the little brother is really a living Lei Feng of the grave-robbing world. This makes things easier; we just need to follow along. Even if there's any danger, it's probably all been cleared by the little brother."

Fatty couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

They, this can be considered as having enjoyed the little brother's benefits.

"But... this mark is different from before. It's very obvious that the information in it has changed."

"Uncle Ming, what do you think?"

Wu Xie bit his nails and thought hard, unable to figure it out, and looked at Hu Ming in distress.

"What do I think? I'm speechless!"

"Wu Xie, you're already a big boy. You need to learn to draw a good-looking... pfft! Damn, I accidentally slipped up!"

"I mean, you need to learn to think for yourself and make your own decisions, Wu Xie. A person cannot always rely on others."

"What's more, I said it, this is the little brother's unique mark, a mark created from the information of his only remaining childhood memories. Except for him, no one can understand it."

"So... it's just as Fatty said, just follow along. It's useless for you to guess blindly here."

Hu Ming spread his hands and said.

"Oh oh... is that so!"

Wu Xie nodded blankly and followed along.

It's just that...

I always feel like I've overlooked something important...

Wu Xie looked back at the passage behind him, frowned, but then relaxed and stopped thinking about it.

Hu Ming is right; regardless of whether the front is the main tomb chamber, just walk in and see.

This tomb passage is extremely short, only about two hundred meters long.

At the end of the tomb passage is a huge white jade door.

As always... the lower half of such a precious door has already been violently blown away, revealing a very large hole.

"Uncle Ming, you say... Aning and those people entered the imperial mausoleum before us, and we also wasted a lot of time on the road. Will they already be inside?"

Upon reaching the door, Wu Xie suddenly asked.

"Not yet, Aning and the others have too many people, the team is huge and bloated, and they were entangled by those human-faced birds."

"It will probably take them a while to get here."

Hu Ming answered absentmindedly.

"By the way, Fatty, let me see that Touching Gold Amulet of yours!"

Before entering the door, suddenly, Hu Ming stopped.

"Huh? Touching Gold Amulet?"

Although he said so, Fatty still took it off and handed it to Hu Ming: "Uncle, be careful, don't break it. This thing is priceless. I begged Uncle Jin for a long time before he gave it to me. It's the symbol of our status as Touching Gold Captains, a one-of-a-kind treasure in the world!"

"Pfft~"

Hearing this, Wu Xie and Pan Zi didn't react much, but Hu Ming laughed.

"Fatty, let me tell you, there are only three Touching Gold Amulets left in the world."

"They are all in the hands of your father, Uncle Hu, and Aunt Yang. A while ago, I asked them if they had given you a Touching Gold Amulet, and they said no!"

"You're holding a fake! What are you so proud of!"

Wu Xie heard this, laughing while saying, speaking bluntly.

"Hmm, it is indeed a fake. The real Touching Gold Amulet is made from the claws of a pangolin, black and shiny. Look, yours has already started to turn green."

"This material... rhino horn, it really is rhino horn... you guys, remember one sentence."

"Living rhino horn cannot be burned; if burned, it has a strange fragrance, and humans can communicate with ghosts. Remembered? Also, when encountering strange things, don't panic, calm down and think carefully."

"Also, I think you're quite smart, how did you get fooled by your old man Wang and Uncle Jin! Going into a tomb is no joke. When I have time, I will properly lecture those unreliable guys!"

Saying that, Hu Ming returned the Touching Gold Amulet to the embarrassed Fatty.

Hu Ming is now a bit speechless; those unreliable guys like Wang Kaixuan, aren't they afraid that the little fatty will get into trouble!

"Uh, Uncle Ming, what you said, we remembered it, this is the ancients' understanding of ghosts and gods, right? Uncle Ming, why did you suddenly say this?"

Wu Xie nodded and asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, let's go. Since we've reached the tomb door, of course we have to go in and see."

Hu Ming laughed, glanced at the top of the jade door, and took the lead, crouching and entering the tomb chamber.

"What's going on, suddenly acting all mysterious..."

"Wait, Uncle Ming, slow down. The treasures inside, I, Fatty, must be the first to touch them!"

Fatty muttered a few words, looked at the Touching Gold Amulet in his hand, but still couldn't bear to throw it away.

Entering the tomb chamber behind the door, for the sake of caution, Fatty lit a cold smoke fire, increasing the lighting intensity so that he could clearly see the layout of the tomb chamber at once.

At the moment the cold smoke fire lit up, everyone saw a suffocating scene and almost froze in place, unable to move.

This tomb chamber was nearly ten times higher and wider than the wine burial chamber seen just now, and four giant corridors full of reliefs stood in the four corners of the tomb chamber.

Unexpectedly, there were no coffins in this tomb chamber.

Instead, it was... a mountain of gold!

In the huge tomb chamber, it was piled with countless gold and silver utensils, gemstones, pearls, and beautiful jade.

It almost filled the entire tomb chamber!

Gold is the most primitive temptation for humanity!

Facing such a massive amount of gold and jewelry, no one in this world can pat their chest and say they are completely unmoved by it!

"My grandfather—"

Seeing this scene, Fatty's eyes widened more than a cow's, his fat cheeks were twisted, and his breathing was rapid.

The others didn't fare much better.

"What did I say, the Jurchen treasury, the annual tribute of the Southern Song Dynasty, I didn't say it wrong, did I."

Pan Zi was also shocked enough, almost unable to stand, and muttered.

In the blink of an eye, Fatty woke up.

"Your grandfather, this time it's really a fortune!!! Wealth enough to eat for three lifetimes, no, ten lifetimes!"

While groaning, Fatty threw himself onto the mountain of gold and rolled around, not caring at all that these things were hurting him underneath.

"Fatty, be careful, this is definitely not the main tomb chamber, it should be a burial chamber. After all, it's in the imperial mausoleum palace, accidents are inevitable, don't be so impulsive!"

Wu Xie swallowed hard and moved his eyes away from the treasures.

"Pfft, Innocent, stop being a crow's mouth. This is clearly the treasure room of Emperor Wannu. The door has been blown open, what danger could there be..."

Halfway through, Fatty suddenly touched something in the mountain of gold, and his face turned completely green.

"Innocent, promise me, in the future when going underground, don't say any more depressing things. Damn, your broken mouth is really fucking weird!"

"Your grandfather named you, he really used the single character 'Evil' correctly!"

"Corpse! I actually touched a corpse inside the mountain of gold!"

Fatty sighed, pushed aside the gold, and inside, a shriveled and curled-up corpse lay quietly, its face twisted, as if it had seen a scene terrifying enough to scare one to death before dying.

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart sank.

Instantly breaking free from the beautiful dream, they smelled an ominous scent in the air.

"Get lost, screw your grandfather, what does it have to do with me? It can only be said that there is indeed something strange in this gold room, the tomb owner is not willing to let his treasures be taken by later generations..."

"Uncle Ming, what do you think... Uncle Ming?"

"Holy crap? Where's Uncle? Fatty, Pan Zi, have you seen Second Uncle? My big Uncle Ming, when did he disappear?"

Wu Xie scolded with a dark face and turned to ask Hu Ming.

But this question, the joke is really big.

Hu Ming, who clearly walked into the tomb chamber together, actually disappeared at some point!
