Chapter 1618: Young Master Zhao accidentally knocked something off again? What moved!

~7 min read 1,253 words

Hearing this, the crowd remained bewildered; they did not understand what specific meaning Zhang Lin intended to express by saying this.

Zhang Lin waved his hand and said: "This is a line of verse from who knows where, but what it says is very correct!"

"If King Xian really sealed himself in a bronze coffin, you cannot assume that King Xian had the goal of becoming an immortal; rather, he wanted to cast himself into hell."

The crowd gasped, not understanding what this meant, but they immediately noticed the second part of what Zhang Lin said: that those whose Eight Characters are not strong should not approach.

This indicated that the bronze coffin itself carried corresponding dangers, and being in the midst of this crisis, the entire Second Archaeological Team might have to choose to face it themselves.

After figuring this out, someone couldn't help but raise their hand and ask: "Mr. Zhang, if King Xian didn't bury himself here, could it be that his coffin is even more luxurious than this?"

In their view, King Xian was nothing more than a grassroots emperor; even if this bronze coffin carried certain taboos, the answer remained the same.

And just as Zhang Lin was about to answer this question, suddenly everyone looked at the Second Archaeological Team's live stream.

Zhang Lin was also stunned at this moment, looking along the phone screen, and muttered two words: "Not good."

Because Young Master Zhao didn't know when he had run behind the coffin.

The bottom corner of the bronze coffin was exactly parallel to his face. When Young Master Zhao reached out to touch the bronze coffin, he didn't know what he had touched. Only a "click" was heard, a crisp rebound sound, and something fell to the ground!

And whenever one is in such a tomb, anyone with experience understands that any sudden sound is not good news for them.

Everyone looked at Young Master Zhao. Wang Kaixuan, in particular, couldn't wait and ran over, asking: "What did you touch?!"

Young Master Zhao looked innocent, thinking to himself that he had just touched the coffin!

After explaining, the crowd looked at what had fallen at their feet.

There was indeed an extra circular notch on the coffin. Without needing anyone to explain, they immediately understood what Young Master Zhao had done—nothing more than touching something he shouldn't have.

And this thing seemed like a mirror, placed within the circular groove on the side of the coffin. Wang Kaixuan hurriedly picked it up, and at this moment, he couldn't help but start to examine it carefully.

He thought to himself that since it had already fallen off, putting it back didn't seem to have much meaning.

Yang Lu said almost subconsciously: "Put it back!"

Wang Kaixuan was stunned. Yang Lu had a premonition in the dark that if this thing wasn't put back, it would definitely cause trouble.

Anything that falls off a coffin may have its corresponding use.

Not to mention anything else, just like when they were in the Longling Maze Caves, the gold medal that popped out of the coffin they encountered—after taking it down, it caused the entire tomb's mechanisms to start, although it eventually led to a good result.

But now, even without Zhang Lin's instructions, Yang Lu understood that in such a tomb, before an answer has been explored, one cannot touch anything randomly, and even opening a coffin requires special consideration.

This is the absolute experience of being the leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect. Yang Lu was very certain of this, and Wang Kaixuan, after being stunned for a moment, did not hesitate.

Hu Bayi had already walked over and snatched the mirror, wanting to put it back into that groove.

Just as his hand approached, suddenly this coffin vibrated. With a "bang," the coffin seemed to come alive, and it lunged straight at Hu Bayi's face.

Yang Lu reacted extremely quickly, darting over in one step and pulling Hu Bayi back directly.

And immediately following, Yang Lu took the bronze mirror, and regardless of how the coffin shook, she found an angle and pressed the bronze mirror directly onto the groove on the side of the coffin.

Yang Lu just wanted to let go when she discovered that this bronze mirror couldn't be fixed at all. Immediately following, Yang Lu said: "Find something to fix this mirror!"

If Yang Lu hadn't been sure of this answer before, then now Yang Lu could be almost one hundred percent certain that this was the only way.

Because the moment the bronze mirror touched the coffin, the coffin suddenly stopped moving, which meant the facts were just as Yang Lu had thought.

And someone at the Crescent Hotel asked: "Mr. Zhang, what the hell is this? Could it be that there is a living zombie inside?"

Zhang Lin shook his head and then explained: "You're not wrong to think that. This also relates to the 'corpse-dissolution to become an immortal' I mentioned earlier. However, rather than calling it a zombie, it's better to call it a wisp of resentment."

"This bronze mirror is used to suppress the corpse. Yang Lu's choice was not wrong. If this mirror isn't put back, then before they even find King Xian's tomb, they will encounter some dangers in advance."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked at first. Even if they had corresponding guesses before, once Zhang Lin truly clarified this answer for them, everyone was still terrified.

Inside the Second Archaeological Team, everyone's attention was on the bronze coffin. At this moment, they worked together to find something to fix the bronze mirror in place.

At first, using tape didn't work at all because it was contaminated with too many years of dust, making it impossible to fix. In the end, Yang Lu really had no other choice but to use the groove on the back of her Vajra Umbrella to force it down.

Like stamping a steel seal, she pressed it on, and the bronze mirror was finally fixed.

Although Yang Lu was not sure while doing this series of actions whether this bronze mirror could still function as it originally did, and whether it still had the effect of suppressing the corpse under the premise of damaged edges.

However, she couldn't think about that much anymore. She couldn't just keep hoping for someone to hold this bronze mirror, because she didn't know what else they would encounter here in a while. In a tomb, many dangers are random.

This is why, even with Zhang Lin's command, many things still have to rely on their own consciousness to solve. And in this consciousness, if they make any mistake, the subsequent impact is very large.

Therefore, Yang Lu had to treat every matter with caution. The next moment, seeing the bronze mirror fixed, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They sighed again that Yang Lu's Vajra Umbrella was indeed a divine artifact, still able to play a wonderful role in such a situation. Just as they relaxed for a moment, suddenly a murderous aura came from the other side.

Immediately following, they saw a line of blood appear on Wang Kaixuan's arm. Wang Kaixuan winced in pain, and those watching the live stream were instantly dumbfounded.

They didn't know where this thing came from, and seeing Wang Kaixuan's wound, it should be a gunshot wound. If someone really fired a gun, why didn't they hear the gunshot before?
