Several people looked at Xu Ce in shock. After a while, the unpleasant smell came out of the pile of firewood again, and they finally came back to their senses.
Then, everyone gasped in unison.
"Senior Brother Xu Ce, is that Silver Corpse really, really dead?"
A Taoist disciple named Qianhe Taoist Master swallowed hard and pointed blankly at the "zombie" in the fire.
Xu Ce smiled lightly and grinned:
"Yes, haven't you noticed that this thing is harder to burn than other ordinary corpses?"
When Xu Ce said this, everyone looked into the fire, but this was the case.
Ordinary corpses, even iron corpses or bronze corpses, if thrown into such a high-temperature fire, will be burned and curled up very quickly.
Looking at it now, only a small part of the silver corpse's body surface has just been ignited, and most of it is still normal.
No wonder Silver Corpse's body is so strong, invulnerable, and cannot even be burned through by fire.
"In other words, are we all okay now?"
Another disciple of Taoist Master Qianhe asked dumbly.
Xu Ce nodded again, but then shook his head.
Everyone looked over in confusion.
Xu Ce smiled and pointed to the copper-horned gold coffin lying on the ground next to him, and said with a smile:
"Uncle Qianhe, this golden coffin with copper horns is a treasure. I plan to use this coffin as the reward for this sale. What do you think?
This thing is big and heavy, and it’s not easy to carry. It’s really a troublesome thing, and there are still many things to worry about.”
When everyone heard that Xu Ce said something was wrong, and it was not about the Silver Corpse, they all breathed a sigh of relief. He spoke in half words, which was so scary.
Taoist Priest Siyan and Master Yixiu were very curious. They wondered why Xu Ce fell in love with this big coffin?
Taoist priest Qianhe asked:
"Nephew Xu Ce, the copper-horned gold coffin, well, I don't have any objections here. Even this coffin is not mine. I have to get Little Belle's consent."
"That's right, Disciple Xu Ce, this piece of shit is of no use even if you want it."
Master Yixiu said something, thought about it, and then said with a smile:
"Disciple Xu Ce, are you planning to prepare something for your four-eyed master? You are such a good boy."
The corners of Taoist Priest Four's mouth immediately twitched, and he glared fiercely at Master Yixiu,
"Damn monk, it's not enough for you. Obviously you died earlier than me!"
Master Yixiu said the name of the Buddha and said calmly:
"Amitabha, no, no, the poor monk is a monk. After his death, all he needs is a fire and a clay pot.
So, you’d better keep it and use it.”
"..."
Xu Ce's brows twitched when he heard this. The two old guys started arguing again. Missing the days when Hu Meiniang was here, the fox roared and the two old naughty boys suddenly fell silent.
In order to prevent the verbal conflict from developing into a physical conflict, Xu Ce immediately stopped and said:
"Master Four Eyes, Master Yixiu, this golden coffin with copper horns is not for you. What are you thinking about? I wish you would live a long life."
Several people said nothing, waiting for Xu Ce to continue.
Xu Ce walked to the bronze-horned golden coffin, squatted down, then picked up a stone and knocked it twice on the coffin lid, and a clear sound immediately came out.
Xu Ce couldn't distinguish the material by listening to the sound, but it didn't stop him from wanting to knock it out.
But some of it can be seen in the color of the copper-horned gold coffin.
Xu Ce stood up again and then said:
"Uncle Qianhe, if my guess is correct, the main component of this bronze-horned golden coffin is copper, with a lot of gold mixed in, right?"
"Yes, my nephew has a good eye, because the Lord Beile in the coffin, also known as Silver Corpse, besides being a member of the Eight Banners royal family, was also a general who was good at fighting. Unfortunately, he died of a serious illness.
However, Lord Beile's body showed no signs of decay after being stored for a month, so under the guidance of an expert, he built this golden coffin with copper horns, and later found a poor man to escort it to the capital.
What a pity!”
After Taoist Master Qianhe finished speaking, he sighed again. It would be better if he didn't pursue this matter. If he did, he and his five disciples would probably never have a peaceful life in the future.
However, these are still troubled times, and for capable people like them, it is not difficult to survive.
After listening to what Taoist Master Qianhe said, Xu Ce had a bright smile on his face, as expected.
In the original work, Xu Ce felt that the gold coffin with copper horns was too cool, and Taoist Priest Four Eyes seemed to casually mention that the coffin was made of pure gold.
But, what I said was definitely to deceive that silly kid from Jiale. Gold that is as big as a coffin, how much silver is it worth? Besides, if it is really made of pure gold, even the wooden cart cannot withstand it.
It's hard to lift such a heavy weight, let alone push it up such a winding mountain road with less than ten people.
Then there is only one explanation, which is that it is most likely made of copper, and some gold should be melted into it. After all, gold can still show some status.
Regardless of whether it is refined brass or gold, it is actually very valuable in this era.
This was the fundamental reason why Xu Ce was thinking about it.
Who would despise the lack of money?
If you melt this coffin and separate the brass and gold, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Don’t waste the money you have right before your eyes!
Taoist priest Qianhe and his disciples arduously traveled over mountains and ridges to the capital. To put it bluntly, it was not just for money!
"Let me go, this coffin is really made of gold!"
The eyes of the four-eyed Taoist priest suddenly shone. He was known to love money as much as his life. He had already saved a lot of family assets in the small box at home, but he was still running business outside.
Master Yixiu had no feelings for money. He looked at it with contempt and lightly reminded:
"It's copper and gold!"
Taoist Priest Four Eyes doesn’t think that he cares so much. Even if it’s copper, it can be made into copper coins. In his eyes, it’s all money!
"It's coming! It's really developed this time!"
In Yizhuang, more than two hundred ghosts gave away so many treasures, but he only took a small part. But this time, on Huangling Mountain, it was finally his turn to make a fortune.
"Yes, we have made a fortune, but Master Four Eyes, our problem now is that this thing is very heavy. Even if we get the wooden house back, we still have to melt the coffin. We can't carry the coffin out to buy groceries, and others will
I can’t get any change.”
Xu Ce joked with a smile.
"That's right!"
The more Taoist Priest Four Eyes looked at the coffin, the more he liked it, but he did not forget Taoist Priest Qianhe and said:
"Junior Brother Qianhe, everyone who meets you has a share. How about we get nine shares? You get one share and we get nine."
Xu Ce almost swallowed his own saliva, now he is talking about dividing the spoils, and he is so stingy, how can he say it out loud!
