Chapter 677

Clang!

The heavy stone slab was directly lifted, fell dully to the side, and split into pieces.

Inside the stone coffin, there was only a decayed skeleton.

Besides that, there were quite a few funerary objects.

"Eh?"

Mai Long's eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of ancient jade.

This jade looked like mutton-fat, but inside it seeped threads of blood: "This is genuine 'blood jade', not some fake made by killing dogs or goats and hiding it in their stomachs... It's worth at least a thousand taels of silver."

"Unexpectedly, people in the ancient period weren't poor either."

Du Sha was full of joy and held up a blackish thing.

He used a little force to shake off the layer of filth on the outside, revealing the golden light within.

"Whoa... such a big piece of gold nugget?"

"Second brother has good luck."

Xiaotianquan Gou San moved like the wind, lightly tapped the throat and abdomen of the corpse, and then shook his head: "No jade in the mouth, no burial treasures..."

"This is the custom of the Great Kang Dynasty; the Great Xia naturally didn't have it."

Mai Long shook his head, his eyes suddenly fixed: "Alright... take another look, if there's nothing good, let's go..."

The three tomb robbers looted all the valuable items and left the tomb chamber.

I don't know how much time passed, when a figure suddenly returned, it was the one-eyed dog Mai Long!

He came to the stone coffin and suddenly exerted force with both palms.

Bang!

The tomb owner's corpse was directly thrown away, hit the wall, and split into pieces.

Mai Long stretched out his fingers and tapped the stone coffin inch by inch.

Bang!

Bang bang!

Amidst the dull sounds, a slightly different sound came out.

"Sure enough, treasure hidden in the coffin? There must be something good!"

Mai Long's remaining one eye lit up.

He had already seen some clues before, and after leaving to sell the loot, he deliberately found an excuse to shake off his two sworn brothers, just to swallow this wealth alone!

As for sworn brothers?

What did that count for? For money, he could stab his own brothers twice!

Back then, when he went into the tomb with his family's brothers, he also hardened his heart and backstabbed his own brothers, only then was he able to swallow the secret manual alone and become a real warrior.

Now, it was the same!

"Haha... I said boss, your behavior was a bit wrong before, so it was to hide the treasure."

At this moment, a laugh suddenly rang out, making Mai Long's expression change. He looked towards the tomb entrance, and it was indeed Du Sha who had walked in.

"Second brother, you're joking. I just recalled that there was something strange here... so I came to take a look."

Mai Long squeezed out a smile with difficulty.

"Hehe..."

Du Sha walked over and exclaimed in wonder: "This stone coffin is integrated. To create a mechanism inside it, those primitive people don't know how much effort they spent. What's hidden inside is either a rare treasure or a divine object, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, wind suddenly rose behind his head!

It turned out that Mai Long took advantage of Du Sha's proximity to observe and smashed his fists fiercely at the back of Du Sha's head.

Bang!

But Du Sha seemed to have been prepared. His footsteps slid, his figure was like a loach, and he dodged the sneak attack from behind.

"Mai Long, since you are unjust, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Du Sha sneered, and blue veins bulged on his arms, carrying threads of silver, like two giant pythons, striking out suddenly.

Bang bang!

After a few moves, he used a heavy blow to strike Mai Long's chest fiercely.

Crack!

A harsh sound came, and Mai Long flew backward like a broken sack, hit the wall, and blood foam spilled from his mouth: "Eighth Rank... I didn't expect... you have already ascended to the 'Yin Yin Yin Zi Vein Realm'?"

"Hehe, walking in the Jianghu, who doesn't hide a trump card?"

Du Sha knew that Mai Long had been hit by his heavy blow, his internal organs were shattered, and he clearly couldn't live.

He didn't go to finish him off, but came to the stone coffin and pressed his finger.

Crack!

A layer of stone wall shattered, revealing a secret compartment.

Inside the compartment was a stone piece, the size of a baby's fist, with faint patterns on it, looking like a totem, and also resembling a Yin-Yang fish...

"A stone piece?"

Du Sha was startled, picked up the stone piece, and came to Mai Long: "The thing you were looking for... is this?"

Mai Long's remaining one eye widened, his chest heaved violently like a bellows, and a trace of mockery and bitter smile appeared on his face: "Ha... haha... the two of us are truly the number one idiots in the world... we haven't even seen the treasure, and we're already killing each other..."

Hearing this, Du Sha also felt a bit awkward: "This seems to be an ancient order token or tiger tally. In the ancient period, it might have been able to command a great army, but now it's not worth a fart... Boss, your eyes were wrong."

Mai Long was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, his head tilted, and he was clearly angered to death.

"Sigh... actually, even if this hadn't happened, I would have wanted to kill you and take it all."

Du Sha suddenly bent down, took off Mai Long's belt, and found a few silver notes inside: "Hehe... sure enough, hidden here. Yin Yin Yin Zi notes from Baoyuan Bank, tsk tsk, there are actually two thousand taels..."

These silver notes were very strange, as if they were made of silver. Not only could they be folded at will, but they also emitted threads of silver light. "The boss's belongings should all be here."

"Hmm, who?"

Du Sha was just about to put away the silver notes when his expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the entrance of the tomb robbery hole.

A person walked in, and it was actually the Howling Dog Xiaotianquan Gou San: "Du Sha... you actually killed the boss, violating our sworn oath back then. Are you prepared to die for breaking the oath?"

"Heh... sure enough, the three of us all had ulterior motives."

Du Sha laughed at himself: "You've been watching me, wanting to be the oriole for a long time, right? But it's a pity, among the three of us, my martial arts are the strongest!"

"I know, you've always been hiding your strength, pushing me to the front as a shield."

After Xiaotianquan Gou San finished speaking, his figure swayed and disappeared in an instant.

"What? So fast!"

Du Sha was shocked, his two arms guarded his chest, and suddenly he saw a palm!

That was Xiaotianquan Gou San's palm!

On the palm, there were actually threads of faint light, making it look like it was cast from gold in the darkness.

Bang!

The golden palm hit Du Sha's arm with great force, directly breaking Du Sha's arm, and without losing momentum, it hit Du Sha's chest.

!

Du Sha's chest immediately collapsed, his figure was like a broken sack, hit the wall heavily, and slid down slowly, just falling beside Mai Long's corpse: "... Seventh Rank... Golden Silk? I lost... not unjustly..."

What is currently popular is the Nine-Rank Martial Way. The first three ranks are the Copper Gate Realm, Yin Yin Yin Zi Vein Realm, and Golden Silk Realm... also known as the 'Lower Three Ranks', which are the foundational realms that require swallowing gold and mercury pills to cultivate.

When these pills are refined, they need to add a large amount of gold and mercury... If ordinary people swallow them, they might burn their intestines. Only warriors of the Ninth Rank Copper Gate Realm can barely use their physique to contain and refine them...

"Sigh, second brother, I didn't want to... but I still want to make progress in martial arts. Next year, my kid also has to try to join a sect. These are all bottomless pits."

Xiaotianquan Gou San sighed: "To practice martial arts, you have to work hard, and you have to prepare a mountain of gold and a sea of silver... As the saying goes, 'The gate of martial arts opens to the south, poor ghosts don't come'... My two gold-swallowing beasts are simply life-threatening, otherwise I wouldn't have been forced to come out and do this business that cuts off descendants..."

He bent down and found all three thousand five hundred taels of silver notes on Du Sha.

Even though Du Sha had deliberately hidden them, sewing the silver notes into the seams of his clothes and hiding them in his shoe insoles, it still couldn't be hidden. One look and he knew he had been observing for a long time and had plotted for a long time.

"You... haha... this is the Jianghu!"

Du Sha laughed loudly: "When I was young, I thought the Jianghu was about wearing fresh clothes and riding fast horses, drawing swords to help people... but later I realized that the Jianghu is bloody, stinky, and cannibalistic!"

"Even so, no one can stop a young person's Jianghu dream, right?"

Xiaotianquan Gou San stood up, thought for a moment, took away the stone piece, and came to the entrance of the tomb robbery hole: "Second brother, you swore an oath to live and die with the boss... Brother, this can be considered fulfilling you."

Slap!

He waved a palm, and a large amount of soil and stone fell, quickly burying the entrance.

Xiaotianquan Gou San left the ancient tomb and returned to an inn in a town at the foot of the mountain.

After taking his luggage, he immediately left the place and traveled carefully all the way.

Finally, more than half a month later, he arrived at a water town in Jiangnan.

But at this time, Xiaotianquan Gou San had already taken off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a face that looked about twenty years old, with long and narrow eyes, carrying a bit of meanness.

"Xun Laoliu, you're back?"

Several farmers nearby greeted him: "You go out alone to do business, you still have to be careful. The world hasn't been peaceful lately..."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, I know."

Xun Laoliu showed a harmless smile and came outside a farmhouse.

Inside the fence, a hen was leading a group of yellow chicks to forage.

Not far away, there was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy playing with a bamboo horse.

Seeing Xun Laoliu, his eyes immediately lit up: "Dad... Mom, Mom... Dad is back."

"Little Tiger!"

Xun Laoliu had deliberately taken a bath before. At this time, he picked up the little boy, rubbed his face with his stubble, and looked at a woman in a cloth skirt who walked out: "Wife..."

"Master, you're finally back..." The woman's eyes turned red.

"Not only back, this time I finally earned a sum, saved enough five hundred taels of silver, and can send Little Tiger into the 'Five Birds Sect'. As long as he has the aptitude, he will definitely be able to stay and have a bright future!"

Xun Laoliu said seriously.

"Five hundred taels?"

The woman couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did you get so much silver?"

"I had been saving some private money, and this time I borrowed some from others. It's enough, it's enough!" Xun Laoliu patted his chest.

"Good, you actually hid private money?"

The woman's attention was indeed diverted: "And the friends who lent you money, you must thank them well... It's really not easy for them to be willing to lend you money."

"Naturally..."

Xun Laoliu said: "Those two brothers of mine are both willing to go through fire and water for me..."

"Sure enough, good brothers."

Inside the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman.

Fang Xing looked at this scene of family reunion outside and made a sarcastic remark.

Although he felt that this Xun Laoliu was a character, he was not prepared to pull him into the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman.

Instead, he was prepared to wait for a period of time to take a good look at this era before deciding...
