Hu Ba Yi lit a candle and explained to Ying Zi and the Fat Man: “This is an old rule passed down from our ancestors. Only by lighting a candle in the southeast corner can you open the coffin. If the candle goes out, you must leave immediately and cannot take anything. This is a contract between the living and the dead.”
Lin Chang Sheng nodded: “As the saying goes, ‘Don’t touch gold when the rooster crows and the lights go out,’ but at midnight, you can’t refuse to dig a grave!”
Wang Kai Xuan looked at Lin Chang Sheng with surprise: “Young Master Lin, you know this?”
Lin Chang Sheng smiled faintly: “I’ve heard of it.”
“Then, does your Yin Yang Realm also have many rules?” Wang Kai Xuan suddenly thought that Lin Chang Sheng ran a paper shop, dealing with paper people and money paper, wasn’t that dealing with the dead?
Lin Chang Sheng looked at Wang Fat Zi with a glint in his eyes: “What, you can’t make it in the tomb-robbing world and want to join me in the Yin Yang Realm?”
Wang Kai Xuan yawned and laughed: “Dare not, I’m a coward!”
“Old Hu, can we open the coffin now?”
Hu Ba Yi walked up to the tomb platform and circled around the coffin, “Open the coffin!”
Crack!
Lin Chang Sheng stepped forward and with a single palm, pushed the coffin open.
Hu Ba Yi was dumbfounded, and Wang Fat Zi was stunned.
Wang Fat Zi couldn’t help but praise: “Young Master Lin is still mighty!”
Hu Ba Yi kept his eyes on the candle, while Wang Fat Zi had already squeezed half his body into the coffin, rummaging through the ancient bones to see if there were any intact objects.
Wang Fat Zi retracted his head and pulled two pieces of jade from the corpse.
“Old Hu, look, this thing was clutched in the general’s hand, it must be very valuable!”
“Fat Master, I’m finally going to strike it rich.”
Meanwhile, Hu Ba Yi kept his eyes on the candle. The flame flickered and dimmed, giving Hu Ba Yi an ominous feeling.
Lin Chang Sheng walked to the coffin. The scene inside was clear for all to see. He had said that he wouldn’t take anything from within, and he wouldn’t.
After all, he had also spent years dealing with the dead. However, just because he wouldn’t take anything, it didn’t mean Wang Fat Zi couldn’t.
“Fat Zi, this mask is made of pure gold!”
“What?”
“Pure gold?”
Wang Fat Zi had also planned to take the mask, but the face beneath it was so hideous that he gave up.
Now, hearing Lin Chang Sheng say that the mask was pure gold, he couldn’t possibly give up.
The moment Wang Fat Zi picked up the mask, the candle went out.
Hu Ba Yi shouted in a panic, “Fat Zi, put it back quickly!”
“No way! I finally got it out, why would I put it back? I’m not crazy.”
A gust of cold wind, it wasn’t clear where it came from, blew over them, making their spines tingle.
Wang Fat Zi’s legs trembled slightly, “Young Master Lin, your treasure works, right?”
Blown by the cold wind, his confidence wasn’t as strong as before.
Ying Zi also shivered and hid behind Lin Chang Sheng.
Lin Chang Sheng remained calm, “Of course it works!”
At this time, Hu Ba Yi hurriedly urged Wang Fat Zi to put the item back.
“Here’s the deal, Fat Zi, I’ll light the candle again. If it stays lit, you can keep the item. If it doesn’t, put it all back.”
Wang Fat Zi nodded.
“Alright!”
Hu Ba Yi stepped forward and lit the candle once more. The candle flame turned a eerie green.
The four of them watched the green light, trembling.
Hu Ba Yi had only seen this in ancient texts. It meant there was corpse energy in the tomb, indicating that the tomb owner might have become a corpse, a Great Zombie.
Ying Zi was terrified and hurriedly grabbed Lin Chang Sheng’s sleeve, “Chang Sheng Ge, Hu Da Ge, Fat Ge, let’s go! I just feel so creepy here, it’s scary.”
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud sound.
Lin Chang Sheng hurriedly pulled the three of them back.
The coffin lid flew straight out and slammed into the entrance of the tomb, blocking it.
The four of them turned around and were completely terrified.
In their eyes, the withered corpse suddenly swelled up at this moment, and the red stiff hairs on its body instantly exploded.
It was terrifying.
A strong aura of ferocity rushed towards them, shocking their hearts.
The entire tomb was filled with a gloomy smell. Ying Zi was too scared to speak.
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Fat Zi had never seen anything like this before. It was the first time in their lives that they had encountered a Great Zombie that had become a corpse.
Hu Ba Yi hurriedly shouted, “Fat Zi, quickly put everything back.”
Hu Ba Yi was also scared out of his wits.
Wang Fat Zi anxiously said, “No, Old Hu, the Great Zombie has come alive. It’s too late to put it back now! Besides, how can I put it back? It’s right there!”
Seeing this, Lin Chang Sheng looked calm. Had his ancestors dealt with things like this?
He felt excited.
“According to the Yin Yang Realm, it has absorbed yang energy and come alive. It won’t let us go unless we’re killed.”
“What should we do then?” Ying Zi worriedly asked.
Lin Chang Sheng strode forward and kicked the Red Corpse. However, it was easily dodged.
He knew that his Houtian Fourth Realm strength was not a match for the Red Corpse. As the rumors said, it was incredibly strong and its body was as hard as iron, impervious to knives and spears.
The Red Corpse spread its sharp claws and directly attacked Lin Chang Sheng, moving extremely quickly.
Lin Chang Sheng already knew that his Houtian Fourth Realm strength was not a match for the Red Corpse.
Seeing this, Hu Ba Yi and Wang Fat Zi rushed forward with their entrenching tools.
“Young Master Lin, we’ll help you!”
As soon as they charged, they were swept away by the Red Corpse’s arms and slammed hard onto the ground.
Lin Chang Sheng took out a Suppressing Corpse Talisman from his pocket and, taking this opportunity, stuck it on the Red Corpse.
The Red Corpse instantly became immobile.
The two of them, in pain, were shocked to see this.
“Young Master Lin, how did you do that?”
Wang Fat Zi was overjoyed. He didn’t expect Lin Chang Sheng’s yellow talisman to be so effective.
The next second, the talisman exploded.
Lin Chang Sheng was surprised, but it was within his expectations. This zombie had been around for hundreds of years, a single talisman wouldn’t be able to defeat it.
Thus, Lin Chang Sheng bit his middle finger, stepped on the Seven Stars Bagua formation, and went straight for the Red Corpse.
A drop of blood went directly into the Red Corpse’s brow. This time, the Red Corpse could no longer move.
Wang Fat Zi and Hu Ba Yi stood up and slowly walked behind Lin Chang Sheng.
“Young Master Lin, can it still move?”
Lin Chang Sheng coldly looked at the Red Corpse: “It’s been suppressed by my true blood, it can’t move now.”
The three of them followed Lin Chang Sheng forward.
“Fat Zi, Old Hu, come and carry it into the coffin!”
“Ah!”
“Carry it back?”
Wang Fat Zi was a little scared. That thing was incredibly ferocious just now, he almost died in its hands.
Lin Chang Sheng kicked the Red Corpse down, then lifted its two sharp claws, “I’ll carry the arms, you two carry the legs. No problem, right?”
Although they were scared, they agreed.
After a lot of effort, they finally managed to move the Red Corpse into the coffin.
Ying Zi held the black donkey hoof and asked, “Chang Sheng Ge, is this still useful?”
Lin Chang Sheng took the black donkey hoof and stuffed it directly into the Red Corpse’s mouth. Then he stuck on a few more talisman.
He then closed the coffin lid.
This was only a temporary suppression. After all, Lin Chang Sheng planned to return here later and turn the Red Corpse into his weapon.
Seeing the coffin lid closed, the four of them were still shaken. That thing was truly terrifying.
Wang Fat Zi laughed and gasped for breath, “Young Master Lin, you’re amazing! You subdued that thing, Fat Master is truly impressed!”
Ying Zi also thanked him, “Chang Sheng Ge, thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I really don’t know what I would have done.”
Hu Ba Yi was also shocked. He had witnessed the power of Young Master Lin today.
