Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 203



Chapter 203

Hua Yu followed Zhang Qiling closely, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Zhang Dahai followed closely behind them, his face also showing a nervous expression.

Zhang Qiling seemed to be very familiar with this place. He led Hua Yu and Zhang Dahai through the intricate tomb passages, turning around and going down to a deeper level. They walked through the tomb passages one after another, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers.

Finally, they came to a huge tomb wall. The tomb wall looked indestructible, but Zhang Qiling took a few steps forward without hesitation, stretched out his hand and gently felt around. Suddenly, he thrust his fingers hard, and the hard tomb wall was penetrated as easily as tofu.

Zhang Qiling's fingers moved flexibly, as if he was holding an extremely sharp knife. As he moved, the tomb wall seemed to be split by an invisible force and slowly moved to both sides.

Zhang Qiling took Hua Yu's hand and walked into the newly opened passage first. Zhang Dahai followed closely behind, and their figures gradually disappeared into the darkness. When the last person passed through, the cracked tomb wall closed again and returned to its original appearance, as if no one had ever been here.

After the three of them entered, Hua Yu glanced around and saw gold, silver, jewelry, jade, books and other items scattered all over the floor.

Zhang Dahai folded his arms and whistled: "It seems that this King Lu Shang still has some brains! He wants to wait until he is resurrected in the future and rise again with the gold and silver treasures in this tomb."

Hua Yu also smiled: "It's a pity that they didn't get the elixir of immortality they dreamed of, but instead became someone else's wedding dress."

Zhang Qiling looked around and stepped gently onto a platform in front of him. There was a stone platform on the platform, on which was placed a faintly glowing purple jade box.

However, to Hua Yu's regret, the danger he imagined did not appear. It was not until Zhang Qiling walked down from the stone platform safely, holding the purple jade box steadily in his hand, that he realized that he might have expected too much.

Hua Yu showed a hint of disappointment on his face. He had thought that he could witness his brother's extraordinary power and crack the hidden mechanisms one by one, but the reality was not like that. Despite this, he was still full of expectations for what was to come. After all, this was an ancient tomb. Who knew what other surprises were waiting for them?

Zhang Qiling looked at Hua Yu's face and knew what he was thinking. He was also a little helpless, with a doting look in his eyes, "King Lu Shang will not cause trouble for himself."

Hua Yu then reluctantly accepted this fact.

Hua Yu took the purple jade box handed to him by Zhang Qiling and fiddled with it for a while but couldn't open it. Hua Yu didn't care about it. After all, he didn't know how much purple jade of this quality he had in his space.

After Hua Yu put it into his own space, he followed Zhang Qiling out of the tomb. Of course, Hua Yu did not miss some of the gold, silver, jewelry, jade, books, etc. in the tomb. After they left, he sent them to the Cultural Relics Bureau in Yanjing. Rather than leaving them in their hands to rot, it would be better to send them there as a favor so that they would turn a blind eye to their actions.

Not long after the three of them left, they were still in the tomb passage carefully examining the patterns on it when they heard a scream.

When the three men arrived slowly, they looked into the eyes of the bloody corpse of King Mu of Zhou, who was supposed to be lying in the coffin.

Hua Yu looked at the King of Zhou Mu, who was just in front of them and had just finished a fierce battle. He was covered in blood and occasionally dropped a few drops of blood. King Zhou Mu took a small step back as if he was a little scared. Hua Yu and the others approached him step by step. As Hua Yu raised his eyebrows and slightly opened his lips, King Zhou Mu suddenly ran away with a howl.

Hua Yu was almost laughing out of anger: "Am I some terrifying existence? He ran away without even listening to what I said. How rude."

Zhang Dahai poked his head out from behind and said cautiously, "Your Highness, King Zhou Mu is probably afraid that you will ask those old ministers of the Shang Dynasty to beat him up. After all, that's how you threatened him before..."

Hua Yu frowned. He had no intention of letting those old ministers take action. But the fact that the former emperor was so timid and cowardly was really laughable.

"Forget it, let's let him go this time." Hua Yu sighed helplessly.

Zhang Qiling asked Zhang Dahai to stand in front of a wall. Zhang Dahai was still a little confused. Suddenly, the bricks under his feet fell over, and Zhang Dahai disappeared in front of Zhang Qiling and Hua Yu with a "whoosh".

After Zhang Dahai left, Zhang Qiling hugged Hua Yu's slender waist tightly, and then stood where Zhang Dahai had just been. He picked up a stone at random and threw it hard at the wall beside him, and then the two of them fell down at an astonishing speed.

As she continued to fall, Hua Yu could clearly hear bursts of noise coming from below, mixed with people cursing and shouting. She curiously looked around and found that the scene below was extremely chaotic.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling landed on the ground steadily, holding Hua Yu like a god. Their arrival attracted the attention of the people around them, but no one dared to approach easily.

Hua Yu looked around and saw countless black crustaceans crawling on the ground, emitting a disgusting smell. Not far away, Zhang Dahai was waving a bronze stick that Hua Yu had given him before, waving it intermittently. If you didn't look closely, you really couldn't tell that he was taking advantage of the situation, after all, those black crustaceans were crawling around avoiding him.

At the same time, on the other side of the wall, a fat man was pulling the hand of the person at the entrance of the cave, trying to climb up, and the person squatting at the entrance of the cave was Wu Xie, who had blown up the black-haired zongzi. On the ground, there was another injured person lying there, wailing in pain. That person was Pan Zi, who had followed Wu Sansheng to another tomb and disappeared.

After hearing what Zhang Dahai said, Hua Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What's going on here?"

After hearing the voice, Zhang Dahai turned around and looked. When he saw the clan leader, a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes. After all, none of them expected that the clan leader, who seemed to be honest, was actually full of tricks. He didn't even say a word and sent the people down directly. If Zhang Dahai hadn't been steady enough, he would have really prostrated himself when he came down.

At this time, Hua Yu took out a small bottle from his pocket and threw it to Zhang Dahai, saying, "This is a powerful insecticide. There are indeed a lot of insects here. Kill it and disinfect it."

Zhang Dahai took the bottle, sniffed it gently, and understood.

Then, Zhang Dahai looked at the bug on the ground, still not knowing whether to live or die, with a hideous smile on his face, and laughed like a barbell: "Haha, go to hell, little bug! You dared to bite my butt just now, give me your life!"

Zhang Dahai picked up the spray in his hand and sprayed it at the surrounding insects. As the spray was sprayed, the insects fell to the ground one by one and stopped moving. After Zhang Dahai confirmed that no insect was still alive, he turned to the fat man, pushed him hard, and urged: "Hurry up!"

The fat man did not dare to delay and quickly climbed up to the cave entrance. Then, Zhang Dahai helped Pan Zi, who had fallen to the ground, up and signaled the two people above to pull him up.

After Pan Zi was pulled up by the people above, Zhang Dahai took a few steps back, then suddenly rushed forward and jumped into the cave. Then, Zhang Qiling held Hua Yu and flew into the air lightly, taking off directly on the spot like a flying bird.

Wu Xie, Pan Zi and the fat man were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Zhang Qiling nervously urging them to leave the place as soon as possible. So they hurriedly got up and followed Zhang Qiling to continue moving forward.

Zhang Qiling carried Hua Yu in front and led the way, while Wu Xie and the fat man supported Pan Zi and followed behind. Zhang Dahai was in charge of the rear, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

Led by Zhang Qiling, the group kept turning left and right, as if they had walked into a maze. Wu Xie and the other two gradually lost their way, but fortunately they finally reached an open area.

Zhang Dahai looked at Pan Zi who was wailing while holding his stomach, squatted down and reached out to touch the place where he had been holding his stomach. Zhang Dahai felt a bulge and lifted his clothes, only to see bloodstains on the skin inside the clothes, and a hole that looked like something had drilled into it.

Zhang Dahai looked at the fat man and said, "Hold him down. Something has gone into his stomach."

Wu Xie was still confused. Seeing Zhang Dahai stretching out his finger to stab into Pan Zi's wound, he quickly stopped him and said, "What are you going to do? Uncle Pan Zi is already so badly injured, what else are you going to do?"

Zhang Dahai was also speechless. At this time, the fat man pushed Wu Xie away and strangled Pan Zi's limbs from behind.

"I told you to stop making trouble here. Didn't you hear what others said? The corpse-bug just now got into your uncle's stomach. If you don't dig it out, it will be eaten up by your uncle."

Wu Xie finally reacted, "Oh oh oh."

Zhang Dahai deftly pulled a black worm out of Pan Zi's stomach and said, "We're lucky. This one is dead." He then took out medicine and bandages from his backpack and handed them to Wu Xie, letting them deal with it themselves.
