【PS: Thank you, xqysccd, for your generous tip! I'm asking for recommendations and favorites!】
As Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, he took a deep breath and firmly gripped the secret letter his mother had given him.
---
Su Wen watched as the members of the Flying Team acted out, and he shouted directly, "Stop right now! Except for the Yellow Sparrow, each person can only take two items. Anyone who disobeys will not be allowed to follow me anymore."
Upon hearing Su Wen's shout, the tomb chamber fell silent.
Zhou Fei was adorned with various pearls and carnelians around his neck and wrists, Xia Wuchang's arms were stuffed full, and Yu Xiaohong had even taken off his shirt to make a pocket... When Su Wen shouted, they all stopped.
"You will follow my rules if you want to stay with me. This is the first time you've disobeyed, so I won't pursue it. If it happens again, get lost, and I'm not joking," Su Wen's voice was cold and filled with menace.
After a moment of silence,
Zhou Fei directly threw away the items in his hands: "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear that, except for the Yellow Sparrow, each person can only take two items?"
Xia Wuchang also followed, "The instructor's words are orders. Everyone, execute immediately."
Rustle!
The items were put back in place.
The twelve people quickly selected the items they wanted to take.
Seeing this, Su Wen's furrowed brows relaxed.
"Instructor, we have taken our items," Zhou Fei saluted Su Wen directly.
Su Wen didn't say anything; he walked to the central stone coffin and said, "Open it. I want to see what's inside."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fei immediately regretted it.
How valuable could the items outside be? The items inside the coffin were the real treasures.
Zhou Fei and Xia Wuchang pushed open the stone coffin. Su Wen looked inside and saw a pair of exquisite boots first.
As the stone coffin continued to rise, he saw a slender waist, a bright and shiny garment, and two jade hands folded on the chest, with delicate fingers...
Wait a minute!!!
This was over a thousand years old; there should be nothing but dry bones.
Zhou Fei was also frightened: "Instructor, this..."
The twelve people all aimed their guns at the stone coffin. If anything inside moved, they would really open fire.
Su Wen also broke out in a cold sweat. This was too bizarre. A person who had been dead for over a thousand years was now not a pile of dry bones, and the jade hands looked as if they had just died. Approaching the stone coffin, a cold feeling came over him, making him shiver.
"Push it open!"
"Instructor, no way!"
Su Wen looked at Zhou Fei and the others, then pushed the coffin lid with one hand, and it flew up.
Boom!
Everything inside was revealed to everyone.
It was a woman with exquisite features, dressed in the traditional attire of a Tang Dynasty princess, with a flower hairpin, a light red palace dress, and a skirt with embroidered light blue butterflies, all covered by a layer of white gauze. A gentle breeze blew, and it felt as if she would float away. Her ink-black hair was casually scattered over her waist, her figure was slender, her waist was weak, and her face was cold, making her look even more charming.
Was this a woman who had been dead for over a thousand years?
Su Wen was stunned, and the twelve people were the same. They had never encountered such a strange thing in their first tomb raid.
If they didn't know the tomb was over a thousand years old, they would have thought it was a recent burial.
"Instructor, is this really a dead person?" Xia Wuchang asked cautiously.
"It should be a dead person," Su Wen pondered, "but why hasn't the body decayed? Did you feel it? The temperature inside the stone coffin is very low, at least below zero, like a natural refrigerator."
Hearing this, the twelve people shivered.
"Instructor, you're right, it's cold," Huang Que tightened his clothes, "Hey, look, isn't there something in the dead woman's mouth? Her mouth looks like it can't close, strange."
Su Wen had already noticed this.
The body hadn't decayed, and the temperature inside the stone coffin was so low; there must be a reason.
"Give me a knife," Su Wen extended his hand, and a military dagger was handed to him, "You all step back, I'll see what's in her mouth."
Everyone nodded.
Su Wen held the military dagger and struggled to pry open the dead woman's mouth. The atmosphere was tense, and he saw a flash of light. A layer of frost appeared on his dagger, and even his hand turned white with frost.
"Instructor!"
"Instructor!"
Su Wen waved his hand: "It's fine, no need to be nervous. There is indeed something in the dead woman's mouth, I don't know what kind of treasure it is."
Everyone relaxed upon hearing this.
Su Wen held a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other. He gently pried, and a cold white pearl flew out of the dead woman's mouth.
"Instructor, what is this?"
"It's so cold!"
Su Wen caught the white pearl, and his hand trembled.
"Give me a backpack."
"Yes, Instructor!"
Su Wen hurriedly put the white pearl into the backpack and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his hand, it was completely covered in ice, the blood vessels seemed to be frozen, and his fingers couldn't bend, with no feeling at all.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind appeared out of nowhere.
With a "boom," looking into the stone coffin, the once beautiful dead woman had now turned into a pile of dry bones. Although the mysterious pearl had preserved her body, her body had actually decayed long ago. Without the pearl, everything was gone.
"Quite an eye-opener," Zhou Fei marveled.
"I don't know what kind of treasure this pearl is, but it can preserve a body from decaying, amazing!" Xia Wuchang also said, "Instructor, you've hit the jackpot this time. I'm sure this pearl is the most precious thing in the tomb."
Su Wen looked at the twelve people and said calmly, "I'm keeping this pearl."
"Instructor, don't worry, we won't say anything," Zhou Fei whispered.
"Good," Su Wen patted Zhou Fei's shoulder, "Let's go, we shouldn't stay here too long. We'll head back to Jiangning tomorrow."
The twelve people hurriedly left.
On the way,
"Xiao Tian, can the system identify what kind of treasure this pearl is?" Su Wen asked.
"Sure."
"Okay!"
Xiao Tian didn't hesitate and immediately gave the result: "The pearl is called the Cold Jade Spirit Pearl, a product of extremely cold regions. In very low temperatures, energy-containing jade is subjected to cold for thousands of years, and eventually, the energy envelops the cold, forming the Cold Jade Spirit Pearl. The Cold Jade Spirit Pearl is one of the treasures of the world, a level-four item, and it has the properties of healing, aiding cultivation, and calming the mind..."
Su Wen was shocked: "A level-four item, this is a big win."
When the twelve people returned, it was already daylight.
"Instructor, why aren't we going in?" Zhou Fei pondered.
"Are you stupid? If we take these things back, they'll be confiscated by your superiors," Su Wen rolled his eyes at Zhou Fei.
At the mention of confiscation, the twelve people looked at the training base as if they saw a tiger.
"Zhou Fei and I will go get the helicopter, the rest of you stay here and watch the items," Su Wen pondered.
"Yes, Instructor!" Zhou Fei responded.
Su Wen found Hu Yiming.
"What? You want to take a helicopter back? No way, you have to stay in Jiangning for the next three years. How can I give you a helicopter? You should walk down the mountain and find a car," Hu Yiming refused outright.
"Uncle Hu, it's a long way from here to Jiangning. How about you send someone to take us back, and they can return the helicopter later?" Su Wen suggested.
"That might not be possible either. Our helicopters are used for missions. Using them to take you to Jiangning would be like using public resources for personal gain..."
"Uncle Hu, you just don't want to give us a helicopter?"
"Yes!" Hu Yiming admitted frankly.
Su Wen was speechless: "Where can we get a ride down the mountain?"
Hu Yiming pointed to the east: "If you keep walking, you'll be out of the mountains in about a hundred miles, and then you can take a car back to Jiangning."
Su Wen turned and walked away, helpless.
Hu Yiming found it amusing and said, "I'm training you. A hundred miles of mountain cross-country is very interesting."
Su Wen turned and looked at Hu Yiming's smiling face, and the only words that came out of his mouth were: "You b**ch!"
