Wang Kai Xuan saw the thief’s hole and immediately felt energized, taking over the digging work himself.
Lin Chang Sheng was happy to see this. Wang Fatty still had some use after all. It was good to have an extra hand for this kind of dirty and tiring work.
It would save him some effort if he brought Wang Kai Xuan along on future tomb descents.
Suddenly, Wang Kai Xuan stopped his shovel, as if he had dug up something.
Hu Ba Yi rushed forward, "Fatty, stop."
He jumped into the hole and brushed aside the top layer of dirt, revealing fluorescent green tiles that instantly shocked the group.
Wang Kai Xuan looked at Hu Ba Yi curiously and asked, "Old Hu, what is that?"
Lin Chang Sheng, who was watching from the side, spoke up, "That's the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glass Top!"
"What top?"
Even though Wang Kai Xuan had been down in tombs with Hu Ba Yi a couple of times, he still lacked knowledge about ancient tombs. Of course, this was also due to him only caring about gold and jade.
Lin Chang Sheng explained, "Those tomb robbers dug up the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glass Top and didn't dare dig further. This Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glass Top was a common anti-theft technology used in the tombs of nobles during the Northern Song Dynasty."
After hearing Lin Chang Sheng's explanation, Wang Kai Xuan suddenly understood. He chuckled, "Little Boss, I didn't expect you, a paper figurine shop owner, to know about these things."
Hu Ba Yi also looked at Lin Chang Sheng with curiosity and surprise.
What was this person’s intention for joining them on this tomb descent, uninvited?
Being so familiar with ancient tombs, what kind of identity was hidden behind his paper figurine shop?
Lin Chang Sheng said brightly, "I come across many people who buy things from me. Through interaction with them, I gained some knowledge about the tomb world."
Wang Kai Xuan laughed, "Ha! When we make a fortune from this deal, you should stop running your paper figurine shop. Follow Fatty around, and you'll have meat to eat every day."
Lin Chang Sheng sneered, If I follow you, I’d be starving three days out of every week.
"Right, Old Hu, can't we break through this Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glass Top and go down?" Wang Kai Xuan looked at Hu Ba Yi again.
Hu Ba Yi calmly said, "Fatty, you really dare to think. There's Western Region fire oil under this Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glass Top. Luckily, you were weak just now. Otherwise, we would have been burned to ashes."
"The things inside the tomb would also be burned to ashes. What treasure would you even want?"
"Ah!" Hearing Hu Ba Yi's words, Wang Kai Xuan felt a sense of relief after escaping a disaster.
"So we can't go in again?"
Lin Chang Sheng patted the dirt off his hands, "This thief's hole won't work. Those tomb robbers must have made a side passage. Let's find the side passage."
Wang Fatty quickly praised, "Little Boss is still clever, so smart."
The four of them immediately began searching for the side passage.
Lin Chang Sheng was the first to find the side passage. He shouted, "Fatty, Hu Ba Yi, the thief's hole is here."
After Ying Zi and the other two rushed over,
Before they could react, Lin Chang Sheng jumped into the bottomless side passage.
Wang Kai Xuan was stunned by Lin Chang Sheng's actions.
Little Boss is so fierce?
Without hesitation, he jumped into the pitch-black hole.
"Old Hu, what do you say?"
"Get your tools! You're not going to compete with Little Boss, are you? He's skilled and bold. We should do it the traditional way," Hu Ba Yi said.
Seeing this, Ying Zi couldn't help but feel worried. She shouted into the hole, "Brother Chang Sheng, are you okay!"
Lin Chang Sheng's voice echoed in the black hole, "I'm fine, it's not that high. It's just a bit dark. Check your flashlights and then come down!"
"Little Boss, wait for us!"
"Fatty's coming! Get out of the way!"
Wang Kai Xuan was already impatient. He had been interested in the treasures in the tomb for days.
Not long after.
The four of them gathered inside the thief's hole.
Turning on his flashlight, Wang Kai Xuan grumbled, "Old Hu, is this a tomb?"
"Do you think there will be good things inside!"
Over there, Lin Chang Sheng was already walking towards the inside with his flashlight. A gust of wind swept past, and he suddenly felt that perhaps one day, the Lin lineage of techniques would truly reappear in the world.
The wind indicated that there was definitely a passage.
Hu Ba Yi was still examining the ancient paintings on the stone wall while Wang Kai Xuan, seeing that Lin Chang Sheng had gone far ahead, quickly chased after him.
"Little Boss, slow down!"
Wang Fatty muttered to himself, Little Boss, you said you weren't interested in the tomb's treasures, but you're moving faster than anyone else.
Seeing them walk away, Ying Zi felt a little scared. The long and narrow corridor filled her with fear.
"Brother Hu, they're gone!"
Hu Ba Yi had no choice but to follow them, "Let's catch up. Don't get separated."
At that moment, the paintings on the stone wall seemed to undergo an unknown change.
Over there, Hu Ba Yi stopped Wang Kai Xuan, "Fatty, you're walking so fast, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Wang Kai Xuan looked aggrieved, "I'm just trying to keep up with Little Boss's pace! What if he gets the good stuff first!"
"He said he wasn't interested, but who knows? Just look at Little Boss's punch that sent the wild boar flying. You and I are no match for him."
Wang Kai Xuan looked at Ying Zi again, "What's wrong, Ying Zi? Scared? Come here, Fatty will give you something."
Ying Zi was indeed a little scared. After all, she was only sixteen years old, and this was her first time down a tomb.
Wang Kai Xuan took a black donkey hoof out of his bag, "Here, Ying Zi. Black donkey hoof, ward off evil spirits."
Hu Ba Yi didn't expect Wang Kai Xuan to have even prepared a black donkey hoof.
"Where did you get that?"
Wang Kai Xuan leaned over and whispered, "I got it from the old village head when we were leaving. I also have glutinous rice."
Hu Ba Yi snorted, "Alright, Fatty, you've come prepared!"
Wang Kai Xuan patted his chest, "Of course!"
As for the yellow talismans he bought from Lin Chang Sheng, they were tucked in his chest pocket.
Over there, Lin Chang Sheng was already waiting outside the tomb.
Wang Kai Xuan walked over, "What's wrong, Little Boss? Is there a mechanism in there? Let Fatty handle this! I've got this!"
Wang Kai Xuan tied a stone to a rope and then threw the rope out, swinging it around.
After he was done, he patted his hands, "No mechanism!"
Hu Ba Yi looked around and gave Wang Kai Xuan a roll of his eyes, "Let's go, Fatty!"
Lin Chang Sheng felt that there was something in the tomb that shouldn't be there. That thing seemed to stimulate the Celestial Master bloodline within him.
He looked around, but found nothing unusual.
The four of them walked into the ear chamber together.
