Chapter 73

"Seven-star Suspicious Coffins?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yi with curiosity.

Wu Ye seemed to recall something and exclaimed, "I saw it in my grandfather's notebook. These Seven-star Suspicious Coffins, except for one that is real, the others are either filled with traps or extremely bizarre methods. In short, if you open the wrong one, the traps or spells inside will attack, making it extremely dangerous."

"Only one is real?"

Everyone's gaze wandered over the seven stone coffins, wondering which one was the real one.

The fake ones were filled with traps and were extremely dangerous, no need to say. The real stone coffin, however, contained real treasures!

Isn't that what tomb raiders are here for?

Uncle San analyzed, "It seems that the group who entered before us fell for the Seven-star Suspicious Coffins."

He paused and then asked Wu Ye, "Is there any record in the old man's notebook about how to solve the Seven-star Suspicious Coffins?"

Although Uncle San was a professional tomb raider, it was the first time he had heard of the Seven-star Suspicious Coffins.

"No." Wu Ye shook his head.

Everyone looked at Lin Yi again. This person seemed to know everything, and no one knew his background. How impressive!

Lin Yi smiled inwardly. This was the difference between the northern and southern schools of tomb raiding. Some tomb raiding knowledge was known to the southern school but not to the northern school, and vice versa.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Historically, the Seven-star Suspicious Coffins were actually first used by tomb raiders.

Because they felt guilty about raiding countless tombs and feared suffering the same fate after death, they designed this false coffin setup based on their experience.

They believed that no matter how ingenious the traps were, they could not stop tomb raiders. The only way was to make them hesitate and unable to act.

Among these seven coffins, apart from the one true main coffin, the other six, if opened by mistake, would result in almost certain death, either due to traps or evil spells.

After the Song Dynasty, this setup was gradually perfected by some skilled people.

This design, originating from a disreputable profession, was considered inauspicious by ordinary families. Moreover, placing seven coffins in one tomb was too expensive.

Therefore, the owners of the Seven-star Suspicious Coffins were usually tomb raiders."

"What?"

Everyone was surprised. Uncle San murmured, "So Lu Shangwang was actually our colleague? What about the solution?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "According to the rules, when tomb raiders encounter the Seven-star Coffins, they usually bow a few times and leave, and the ancestors won't blame them.

In the chaotic times of the past, some tomb raiders had no means of support and finally broke the rules. At that time, a skilled person came up with a method to break this setup.

That method involves using two levers to lift one corner of the coffin, then drilling a small hole in the bottom of the coffin, and using an iron hook to probe inside to see what comes out.

This way, you can determine what is inside the coffin."

Pan Zi, excited, said, "Then what are we waiting for? We have all the tools, let's get started!"

Uncle San, Ah Kui, and Wu Ye also looked eager. This was the tomb of Lu Shangwang from the Warring States period! And he was a tomb raider!

Only Xiao Ge remained calm, but his gaze towards Lin Yi was filled with surprise. This person seemed to know everything, very impressive.

As Uncle San, Pan Zi, and Ah Kui were about to start, Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Wait."

Everyone looked at him, puzzled. Lin Yi smiled and said, "All seven coffins are fake. This is a tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty, a smokescreen set by Lu Shangwang. The real tomb of Lu Shangwang is below this Western Zhou tomb."

"What?"

"All fake?"

"Below?"

"Western Zhou tomb?"

Everyone was shocked again. Today was full of surprises. After all, who would have thought that tomb raiders would encounter the ancestor of tomb raiders?

It turned out to be a Western Zhou tomb, which was even earlier than the Eastern Zhou, the period of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

Uncle San murmured, "This Lu Shangwang is really bizarre. He dug a Western Zhou tomb first and then hid his own tomb below it."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yi, who was even more professional than himself, a professional tomb raider!

Everyone also looked at Lin Yi with admiration.

"Everyone, look for a mechanism leading to below. If there isn't one, we'll have to dig a hole!" Lin Yi smiled. He actually knew nothing about this, but who would have thought he was "clairvoyant"?

Finding mechanisms and "digging holes" were not his forte; he could only rely on Uncle San and the others.

Everyone started looking for mechanisms and passages leading to below.

Just as they were searching, Da Kui suddenly pointed to the ground ahead, almost crying, "What is this?"

Everyone looked at the ground ahead. Under the light of the miner's lamp, besides their own shadows, there was an additional shadow, and it was a monster with a huge head!

Seeing such a terrifying shadow appear suddenly in this place, everyone was startled.

Even Lin Yi was greatly surprised by the sudden appearance of the monster's shadow.

Everyone turned back, and only Xiao Ge remained calm. He shone the miner's lamp, and everyone saw the "monster's" true face—it was a person!

But this person had a large earthenware jar on his head, holding a flashlight and posing like an Egyptian, with two holes in the jar through which his eyes peered out, looking very mischievous.

Lin Yi felt relieved. It was Wang Fei!

Wang Fei—known as one of the "Iron Triangle" along with Wu Ye and Zhang Qiling, seemed to have always worked alone before meeting the two. He claimed to be a member of the northern school of tomb raiders and the "fat prince" of the tomb raiding world. He was skilled, usually appeared careless and unreliable, but was actually quite measured and reliable in critical moments.

Lin Yi thought, "This Wang Fei is really unreliable. In such a place, he still has the nerve to scare people? What a big heart!"

Pan Zi was startled at first, then came to his senses and cursed, "F*ck your mother! I'll kill you!"

Saying this, he threw his military knife.

"My mother!"

The "monster" saw that he had angered everyone and ran away, the thrown military knife breaking the earthenware jar on his head, leaving only a ring around his neck.

While running, he cursed, "You're asking for it, wait until I come back and see how I deal with you."

Saying this, he ran like he had greased feet and disappeared into the passage he had come from.

"Bad." Xiao Ge suddenly called out, "We can't let him reach our tunnel. If he touches that coffin, it's over!"

Saying this, he drew an ancient black gold knife from his bag, picked up a miner's lamp, and ran into the passage.

Pan Zi wanted to go help, but Uncle San held him back and said, "You won't be of any help. Go check the two side chambers and see where that person came from."

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go check!"

Saying this, he didn't even pick up a miner's lamp and quickly followed into the darkness.

With the live streaming equipment, he could see in the dark through the screen!

Besides, he had a "dozen" flashlights in his system item inventory!
