Chapter 42
The Dove Occupies the Nest, Warring States Bronze Basin Burial

In another ear chamber.

Wu Xie and his group were listening to Zhang Qi Ling's account of the events that happened to the archaeological team back then.

Here, Zhang Qi Ling's memories had partially recovered.

"You mean,"

"There was a strange scent in the tomb chamber you came up from?"

"You all fell asleep after smelling that scent?"

"I remember Uncle San also told me about this, saying that you all disappeared after waking up."

Wu Xie carefully recalled what Wu San Sheng had told him.

He tried to find clues from Zhang Qi Ling's account.

Wang Fatty said, "If you say so, when I was in Panjia Garden, I received a fragrant thing, the scent made you want to fall asleep immediately."

Upon hearing this, A Ning immediately questioned, "You know about scents?"

Wu Xie said, "A Ning, don't interrupt, Fatty, what was the scent called?"

Wang Fatty thought for a moment and said, "Jin Po bone."

Upon hearing this word, Wu Xie and A Ning looked at each other.

"Jin Po bone?!"

"That's too evil... How can you even deal with this thing."

Thinking of the tragedy of A Ning's men, Wu Xie shuddered.

Just then.

The space of this ear chamber changed abnormally.

A black hole appeared out of thin air.

A white-haired baby arm fell from the black hole.

Along with it came a wisp of black gas.

"It's poisonous gas! Leave this place!"

Zhang Qi Ling quickly covered his nose and mouth, grabbed Wu Xie and walked out.

Seeing this, Wang Fatty and A Ning dared not stay.

They ran out as fast as they could.

"What happened?!"

"Fatty, I actually saw a white-haired thing falling from the sky!"

"Did you see it?!"

Wang Fatty exclaimed.

Zhang Qi Ling said with a serious expression, "Bai Mao Han Ba, killed."

Wang Fatty patted his thigh, overjoyed, "Nice! My brother-in-law is awesome!"

A Ning poured a bucket of cold water on him, "Have you forgotten what Lin Chuan said? If this little thing dies, the Black Scale Mermaids may have no fear, and they will all climb in then. It will be enough for us to eat."

Wu Xie asked, "What was the black hole just now? Why do I feel like you people are becoming more and more sinister."

Zhang Qi Ling shook his head, "Qi Men Dun Jia, the three disks of man, earth, and god. The earth disk, eight gates transportation."

"Poisonous gas, Black Scale Mermaids..."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Qi Ling said, "We should go."

...

In the ear chamber with the golden nanmu wood coffin.

The air, besides the deep poisonous gas, also vaguely mixed with the burnt smell of electrical burns, making one feel apprehensive.

The twelve-handed female corpse bound tightly by sandalwood.

After the thunder raged, it had completely lost its movements.

As before.

Lin Chuan reached into the female corpse's body, and a red corpse pill burst out.

Any corpse that cultivates into a spirit in an ancient tomb.

All of them absorb spiritual energy for years in a geomancy treasure land.

In this era of the decline of the Dao.

The corpse pill can provide a lot of spiritual energy support for cultivation.

After doing all this.

Lin Chuan swung a sword energy again, pointing directly at the beautifully carved golden nanmu wood coffin in front.

With a crisp crack.

Even the heavy tombstone at the bottom of the coffin could not avoid.

It shattered into two halves.

At this time, the two saw that at the bottom of the hidden tombstone, there was a hole.

Yang Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, she whispered, "The thief's hole inadvertently destroyed the original stable geomancy layout, which led to this pair of mother and child corpses becoming corpses. I thought my geomancy skills had gone wrong."

As she spoke, she let out a sigh of relief, thankful that what she had learned was not wrong.

Lin Chuan shone his flashlight down.

Less than a meter below the hole was the sparkling water.

"The lifting mechanism in this place has been reactivated, we can only leave through this thief's hole." Lin Chuan whispered, a hint of caution in his eyes.

"Brother Lin, I'll do whatever you say." Yang Yi responded softly.

"Stay close to me." Lin Chuan instructed.

After all, he couldn't say whether there was anything else under the water.

Fortunately, this underwater passage was not long.

In just two minutes.

Lin Chuan had already brought Yang Yi back up to the surface.

"It's Little Brother Lin!"

As soon as he came out, Lin Chuan heard someone calling him.

He fixed his gaze.

He found that Zhang Qi Ling and the other four had arrived.

"It's them."

Yang Yi was also overjoyed, in her opinion, it was the best thing that both sides were alright.

Lin Chuan and Yang Yi quickly swam ashore.

"Great, you two are okay, otherwise I would cry to death."

Wang Fatty was about to throw himself on Lin Chuan, with tears streaming down his face.

"Get lost!"

Lin Chuan dodged and said, "Even if you died, it wouldn't be my fault."

Yang Yi jokingly teased, "I think you're worried about your parents finding trouble with you."

Her words were filled with teasing.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fatty pretended to be indignant and glared, complaining, "Hey, you two, you haven't officially started living together, and you're already ganging up on me?"

At the edge of the group, A Ning watched this scene quietly.

She frowned, a hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes, her lips were tightly pressed together.

In the end, she couldn't help but interrupt, "You two are wasting time flirting, why not think about how to move forward."

"You're right."

Wu Xie nodded and expressed his opinion, "Originally, on the outside, all the architectural styles we saw were from the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, the person who could find this geomancy treasure land, and also have this architectural design, there is only one in my impression."

"Early Ming Dynasty, architect, geomancer, Wang Zang Hai."

Wang Fatty chimed in, "No wonder you graduated from the Zhejiang University architecture department, you know a lot. I remember he was the one who designed the Forbidden City, right?"

Wu Xie nodded and continued to analyze, "It's him. But I'm curious why, when we got here, the architectural style here returned to the Warring States period or even earlier."

He shone his flashlight ahead.

"You see the bronze basin coffin in the middle, that's the burial mode from before the Warring States period."

"So I'm very curious, who is the tomb owner?"

"Could it be like Lu Shang Wang in Lu Wang Palace, is it another case of usurpation of a tomb?"

The group looked in the direction he pointed.

Sure enough, in front of them, in the middle of the water surface, there was a giant bronze basin suspended by eight extremely thick chains.

It was covered in rust, it's unknown how long it's been hanging there.

Wang Fatty saw that there was nothing valuable around, he immediately lost his enthusiasm, he sighed with dejection, "This place wouldn't be the main tomb chamber, would it? Then Fatty really made a wasted trip."

Upon hearing this, A Ning shook her head gently, she was also puzzled, "The main tomb chamber is not here. And I haven't heard Wu San Sheng talk about such a pool, nor have I heard him mention this basin coffin."

Wu Xie turned to Zhang Qi Ling beside him and asked, "Little Brother, do you remember this place?"

Zhang Qi Ling just slightly turned his head and shook his head.

It was unclear whether he meant he didn't know or he didn't remember.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Lin Chuan explained, "The sunken ship tomb under the sea was indeed built and designed by Wang Zang Hai, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the person buried here is him."

"This place also has mechanisms, using the ocean tides, the water level will rise and fall."

"When the water level drops to the bottom, the entrance to the main tomb chamber is below."

"As for the bronze basin coffin in front..."

Lin Chuan paused, his eyes gazed deeply ahead, "Go forward and see, then you'll know who is buried there."
