At the end of the steps, there is a pool about the size of a basketball court.
The water in the pool was as black as ink and bottomless.
In the middle of the pool, there was a Bagua high platform, and Ye Qiu's eyes immediately fell on the middle of the high platform.
Because there is a sarcophagus parked there.
Ye Qiu also noticed that there were ever-burning lamps burning in eight directions on the high platform, as if they had never been extinguished for hundreds of years.
In an instant, Ye Qiu's eyes became fiery.
"Presumably, that must be the coffin of the unknown senior. I wonder what the two valuable treasures stored in it are?"
Ye Qiu quickened his pace and quickly reached the end of the steps.
He observed that the distance from the end of the steps to the high platform was about twenty meters, and there was no place to stay in the middle. It was obviously unrealistic to fly directly there.
At least, with Ye Qiu's current cultivation level, it is far from being possible.
Therefore, the simplest and most effective way right now is to swim across the pond.
Ye Qiu looked at the pool and was about to put his foot in, but suddenly he retracted his foot. For some reason, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
"In order to prevent criminals from robbing the tomb, Wuming Master specially set up the Nine Palaces and Bagua Array. It can be seen that he does not want others to enter his tomb."
"His coffin is right in front of us now, and there are two valuable treasures hidden inside. With the mentality of Wuming Master, no one should easily open the coffin and get the valuable treasures."
"It seems like there must be danger here."
Ye Qiu looked around, and finally, his eyes fell on the pool of water, and he quietly opened his eyes.
The next second, Ye Qiu's expression suddenly changed.
He saw three large crocodiles hiding in the pool, less than one meter away from him, all staring at him with wide eyes.
If Ye Qiu had not realized the danger and put his feet into the water just now, he would have been torn apart by three crocodiles.
"It was so dangerous. I was just a little bit away from being eaten by these three beasts."
Ye Qiu broke into a cold sweat.
He didn't notice the existence of the crocodile at all before opening his eyes. That was because the water in the pool was black and blended in with the crocodile. They hid their breath and were difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Moreover, these three crocodiles were very smart. They hid in the pond and stayed motionless, waiting for Ye Qiu to enter the water.
Since Ye Qiu had discovered them, he would not be stupid enough to continue entering the water, so he had to find other ways to get to the high platform.
He thought about it and finally thought of a way -
Take advantage!
However, there was nothing on the pool that could be used as a lever. Ye Qiu thought for a while and finally came up with a brilliant idea.
Golden needle!
He took out a seven-inch long golden needle, poured power into the golden needle, and then waved his right hand.
call out!
The golden needle shot out of the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was three meters away.
Ye Qiu rose into the air, flew out like lightning, stepped on the golden needle accurately with his toes, and then used the golden needle to borrow strength, and jumped up quickly.
Almost at the same time, Ye Qiu threw out a second golden needle.
call out!
Ye Qiu stepped on the second golden needle with his toes and used the force to jump forward four meters. Then, the third golden needle roared out.
Repeatedly, using six golden needles, Ye Qiu finally reached the bottom of the high platform.
The high platform is made of bluestone, and the top is uneven.
"rub!"
Ye Qiu kicked the bluestone and quickly climbed to the top of the platform like a monkey.
In just the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu stood steadily on the high platform and let out a long breath.
"I finally came here, but it's a pity that I lost six more golden needles."
Ye Qiu felt a pain in his body, and then stared at the sarcophagus.
At this time, the sarcophagus was less than two meters away from him.
Ye Qiu felt a little excited at the thought of opening the sarcophagus and seeing the two treasures left by the unknown master.
He went straight to the sarcophagus and looked at it carefully.
The sarcophagus is about seven feet long and three feet wide. It is made of bluestone and has a huge word "福" carved on it, which is full of weight.
Ye Qiu couldn't restrain his excitement and couldn't wait to open the sarcophagus. He even put his right hand on the coffin lid. However, at this moment, a sudden cold wind blew.
"call--"
The ever-burning light in the southeast went out.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of a sentence in "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp": People light candles, ghosts blow out lanterns, and when the rooster crows and the lantern goes out, gold is not touched.
This sentence means that after entering the tomb, the gold-touching captain (the ancient name for tomb robbers) would light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb, and then open the coffin to touch for gold.
The gold-touching captain must not damage the remains of the owner of the tomb when touching gold. He must touch the remains of the tomb owner gently from head to toe. If the candle in the southeast corner goes out when touching gold, then he must touch all the treasures.
Return to the original position, then bow your head three times to the owner of the tomb or the coffin, and exit the tomb.
Otherwise, there will be disaster.
Although Ye Qiu did not touch Colonel Jin, and what was extinguished was the ever-bright lamp, not the candle, the extinguishing of the ever-bright lamp still cast a dark cloud over Ye Qiu's heart.
Do you want to open the coffin?
Ye Qiu hesitated.
However, after only hesitating for a few seconds, Ye Qiu made a decision.
Open the coffin!
There is no reason not to open the coffin as the heavy treasure is right in front of us. What’s more, Wuming Zhenren said in his last letter that the heavy treasure is left to future generations who are destined to be destined. In other words, Wuming Zhenren still hopes that someone can get the heavy treasure.
"Unknown senior, since this junior has come here and learned the cursive sword skills you left behind, it means that this junior is the destined person you said. I hope you will be merciful and allow me to smoothly take out the sword from your coffin.
Two valuable treasures, please."
Ye Qiu muttered to the sarcophagus for a while, then clapped hard with his right hand.
"boom!"
The coffin lid was blown off on the spot.
Ye Qiu looked down. The first thing that came into his sight was a complete skeleton. Then, his eyes fell on the side of the skeleton, where there were two rosewood boxes.
The wooden box on the left is a rectangle, about three feet long. The wooden box on the right is only half a foot long and square.
Without any hesitation, Ye Qiu took out the rectangular rosewood box and quickly opened it.
Then, an ancient long sword caught his eye.
The long sword is about three feet long. The scabbard and hilt are decorated with colorful beads and nine-flower jade. At first glance, it looks like something extraordinary.
Ye Qiu put down the wooden box, holding the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt in his right hand, and pulled it out with all his strength.
"Qiang——"
A clear sword roar sounded, like a dragon's roar.
Ye Qiu looked at it carefully and found that the sword's blade was as cold as ice and its blade was like frost and snow, reflecting a person's appearance.
Suddenly, he saw two seal characters on the sword -
Chixiao!
