“Do you know how valuable Song Dynasty porcelain is?”
“How much?”
“A decent Song Dynasty official kiln piece, any one you pick up and sell can fetch hundreds of thousands. If it goes to auction, it can sell for millions.”
“Ah?!”
Hu Ba Yi and the three were shocked. They looked at the porcelain bottle in Yingzi’s hand with disbelief. “This earthenware pot is worth millions?”
“If it’s a treasure from one of the six major kilns (Dingyao, Junyao, Cizhouyao, Yaozhouyao, Longquanyao, and Jingdezhenyao), it can be worth tens of millions or more.”
“!!”
Hu Ba Yi and the three were stunned.
They only thought gold and jade were valuable.
They never expected that the earthenware pot they looked down upon was actually the most valuable?
In this world of tomb raiding, ten thousand yuan was a huge sum of money for Hu Ba Yi and the others, tens of millions was an astronomical figure.
Tens of millions was beyond their wildest dreams!
(Based on prices in 2000, cell phones and computers also exist)
“Then what about the porcelain in the General’s coffin?” Wang Pangzi suddenly asked.
“They are the finest pieces.”
“My God!”
Wang Pangzi felt like his entire world had crumbled. They had given the porcelain to Lu Feng and only took a pair of jade pieces. It seemed like they had lost out big time.
Hu Ba Yi’s eyes also became filled with regret.
But they couldn’t blame anyone. After all, they were clueless.
This time, it was Lu Feng who brought them here. It was good enough that they could choose their own treasures.
Besides, Lu Feng had just saved their lives and was willing to give up the porcelain bottle in Yingzi’s hands. What else could they possibly want?
Wait a minute!
What about the things in Lu Feng’s hands?
Hidden in his clothes?
Impossible!
“Yingzi, are you still going to split it?” Lu Feng asked.
“Yes.”
Yingzi answered without hesitation.
“Alright.”
Lu Feng took one.
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pangzi looked at each other, each taking one.
“Yingzi, you’re my sister!”
“Get out of the way.”
“Alright.”
Wang Pangzi didn’t mind at all. He was beaming with joy.
Hu Ba Yi put away the porcelain bottle and scanned the fortress with gleaming eyes. “Let’s find more porcelain.”
Unfortunately.
After searching everywhere, they couldn’t find any more porcelain.
It seemed like the four porcelain bottles that Yingzi found were left behind during transportation.
“Lu brother, Lao Hu, there’s an unopened stone coffin here.”
Hearing Wang Pangzi’s shout, Lu Feng also went over. Sure enough, he saw an unopened stone coffin. It was probably the one with the child buried with it.
Lu Feng said, “Open it.”
“I’ll do it!”
Wang Pangzi picked up his engineer’s shovel and was about to pry it open.
“Light the candles.” Yingzi said.
Hu Ba Yi said, “Do you know where the southeast corner is?”
“No.”
“Then how are you going to light it?”
“Light them all.”
Hu Ba Yi: “…”
Wang Pangzi: “…”
Lu Feng crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. “Light them.”
“Then let’s light them.”
Hu Ba Yi nodded. He and Wang Pangzi lit candles all around the coffin, then started to pry it open. It took a lot of effort before they finally opened it.
Inside the stone coffin was an extraordinarily ornate coffin.
On both ends, sides, and lid were five-colored patterns painted with gold. They depicted auspicious divine beasts, such as cranes, qilin, etc.
There was also a star chart of the Twenty-Eight Constellations on the lid. The bottom of the coffin was surrounded by a circle of cloud scroll patterns in gold. Even after thousands of years, the colors were still vibrant and new.
“This coffin is not simple. The burial objects must be amazing.”
Wang Pangzi rubbed his hands and called out to Hu Ba Yi to open the coffin together.
When they pried it open, they found a dried corpse inside.
At the feet of the dried corpse were two lifelike children sitting cross-legged.
“Damn, there are two kids!” Wang Pangzi was startled. “These dummies are so realistic, they scared the hell out of me.”
“They are real.” Lu Feng said.
“Real?”
“How is that possible?”
“The tomb owner is a dried corpse, how come they’re still so intact?”
Hu Ba Yi and the three were startled. They felt a chill down their spines, as if they had seen a ghost.
“These children were alive when mercury was poured into their heads. After they died, they were coated with mercury and turned into specimens, so the bodies did not rot for thousands of years.”
“So cruel?”
“The evil old society.”
Wang Pangzi sat on the ground with a heavy heart.
“Let’s bury them.” Yingzi said.
“I agree.”
Wang Pangzi agreed.
“First, find something to wrap them up. Don’t touch them with your hands. The surface of the bodies is probably poisonous.” Lu Feng reminded them.
Hu Ba Yi and the three nodded. They found army coats to wrap the children’s bodies and carried them on their backs, preparing to bury them outside.
Next, they searched the fortress again. They found seven antique objects in other hidden chambers. Lu Feng took four of them.
They discovered a wind cave along the way, where there were a large number of pig-faced bats.
Lu Feng stopped Hu Ba Yi and the others beforehand, preventing Wang Pangzi from startling them.
Finally, they returned the way they came.
Lu Feng deliberately walked behind them. While they weren’t paying attention, he put the coffin from the fortress and the coffin from the General’s tomb into the system space.
“Whew! It’s so good to be outside again!”
Wang Pangzi ran out of the tunnel and collapsed on the ground.
“It’s good to be alive.”
Hu Ba Yi sighed.
“Hu ge, what exactly happened to the Red Ghoul?” Yingzi asked.
“It’s because of the Corpse煞…”
Lu Feng did not participate in the discussion.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, host, for exploring the Jin Dynasty General’s Tomb. You have earned 1000 exploration points!”
“Explorer level upgraded. From tomorrow, you will earn 2 points every day!”
“First-time tomb exploration, additional reward of 2000 points!”
