can you lend me 50,000 yuan..." Her voice trailed off towards the end.Before I could speak, Li Jing bit her lip and said, "As long as you lend me the money, I'll... I'll be yours...""Huh" I felt like..."Yunfeng, come here," he suddenly thrust the bronze axe into my hands.

All eyes turned to me in an instant.

Being watched by so many people at once felt a little awkward, but I didn't say anything. I reached out and inserted the bronze battle axe into the small hole on the coffin's partition.

"Click."

The bronze battle axe and the small hole fit together perfectly, not too big or too small, as if they were one.

First, I tried turning it to the left, but there was no reaction. Then I tried turning it to the right, but it still didn't move.

My forehead was sweating, and my hands were shaking.

At this time, Yao Yumen reminded me, "Although the previous intricate mechanical boxes had flaws, Yunfeng, try moving them up and down first, then aim towards the left at a 45-degree angle."

"

I listened to Jade Sister's words and started trying again, putting the bronze axe back in its place.

A little bit, I just turned the bronze axe to forty-five degrees.

Then there were two clicks, followed by the sound of chains being dragged.

"It's open!" In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to look over.

Under the unseen pull of a chain, the bronze partition inside this coffin began to creak open, inch by inch, to the right.

To everyone's surprise, what appeared under the partition was a golden brocade jade bed.

This mat is intact with gold thread, and the jade pieces are greenish. Upon closer inspection, it seems as though someone is lying beneath the mat.

The gold-thread and jade garment was invented during the Han Dynasty. Seeing the actual artifact, one realizes that a prototype of the gold-thread and jade garment existed as far back as the Western Zhou period.

"Go on," the little head said, waving to a middle-aged man beside him.

This person swallowed nervously and seemed a little afraid.

The body under the mat could be over 2,000 years old. I bet whoever did this is feeling a little freaked out.

I whispered to the old man from Xiangxi, "Zhao Ye, what do you think this means Is there a corpse under the jade platform"

The old man clutched the money in his hand, his face looking rather grim.

Just then, Yao Yumeng pulled me back.

"What's wrong, Jade"

Yao Yumen's eyes were serious. She gave me a glance at her ancestral compass, and I was shocked. The needle, the north needle, and the south needle were all pointing in a straight line towards the bronze coffin.

On a compass, this phenomenon is very rare. Jade whispered to me that usually, when a compass is working, only the north-seeking needle, which is also the longest one, will swing left and right. But in the situation before us, all three needles are aligned on a straight line. In Feng Shui, this is called "Yi Xian Yin".

I asked her again, what would happen if a single yin line appeared on the compass.

Yujie whispered in my ear, "Yunfeng, remember this, if anything happens, turn and run, okay That path you heard during the thunderstorm might lead to the surface."

I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. My hands were sweating with nerves.

The man slowly reached out his hand to lift the jade curtain, but suddenly, his hand froze in mid-air.

At this moment, all the flashlights in everyone's hands started to flicker. Whether it was due to low battery or something else, the lights became dim and bright intermittently.up," Chen Jian Sheng took the lead and walked out cautiously.We kept a distance of over a hundred meters at all times. Plus, the terrain was favorable with flowers, trees and foliage everywhere. As so...
