Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 110 Sarcophagus

"Ha ha..." Heizi invited Xiaoli to do chest expansion exercises together.

"No need. I'm going to go play with Aunt Mu. Boss, you continue to help the young bird lose weight and do chest expansion exercises." Before Xiaoli finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Are you kidding? You asked me to help a young bird lose weight and do chest expansion exercises. How shameless of me! Besides, I don’t have wings.

At this time, on the top of the rock, the old patriarch and Yang Chao, who were watching this scene, covered their mouths and laughed until their stomachs hurt. They were so happy.

Fortunately, not many people saw this scene, otherwise, I really don’t know how many people would have died of laughter.

As for Yiliu, the old man, after fooling Heizi, no one knew where he ran off to.

When Shang Liangshan, who had just finished doing chest expansion exercises, came out of the Huawai Taoist Temple and saw this scene, he was stunned at first, then he forced himself to hold back his laughter. After asking Heizi the reason, he almost burst out laughing.

Fortunately, he was very patient and held back his laughter. He walked out of the temple with his body trembling, and he almost got internal injuries from holding it back.

"Hmm." Shang Liangshan was just about to go to the top of the rock to see the pavilions and towers and how they were built when he suddenly sensed something. His figure flashed and he disappeared silently outside the temple.

The next second, his figure appeared in the air, turning into a purple light and whistling towards the southeast.

The land reclamation site smelled of mud, with tree roots scattered all over the place. A group of people were gathered around something, talking about something.

In the middle of the crowd, Yi Tu squatted on the ground, looking at the sarcophagus covered with mud in the pit, and couldn't help frowning.

This sarcophagus was discovered when the land was being leveled. At first, it was thought to be a stone and the local militia did not pay much attention to it. As a result, they dug and dug and dug out a sarcophagus that was three meters long and two meters wide.

This matter was soon reported to him, and this scene happened.

Yi Tu looked at the sarcophagus and was about to go down to verify whether it was a real sarcophagus, when he felt a figure suddenly appear beside him, almost scaring him to death.

"Seventh Elder." When the local warriors saw Shang Liangshan suddenly appear, they were stunned at first, and then they all saluted.

When Yi Tu heard the greeting, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his racing heart also slowed down.

"Hmm." Shang Liangshan nodded to the villagers in a friendly manner, glanced at the sarcophagus, and said to the fallen man who had stood up, "Sixth Elder, this sarcophagus is the entrance. There is no yin energy, but there is a spiritual charm leaking out."

He felt a vague spiritual aura coming, and now he could determine its source.

"The right coffin is the entrance?" Yi Tu thought he had heard it wrong and couldn't help but ask.

After all, who would build the entrance of a tomb to look like a coffin? Wouldn’t it be better to just use it as a coffin?

"It's the entrance." Shang Liangshan nodded in confirmation.

"No Yin energy? Is there spiritual charm?" The lost scholar asked to confirm.

Spiritual charm is an invisible aura emitted by spiritual objects.

The strength of spiritual charm depends on the energy contained in the spiritual object.

"Hmm," Shang Liangshan nodded, pointed at the stone coffin and expressed his guess: "This stone coffin should be the entrance to the cave."

Upon hearing this, Yi Tu looked at Shang Liangshan with a strange expression and asked, "Liangshan, it's not that I don't believe you, but are you sure that this sarcophagus is the entrance to the cave?"

The onlookers nodded when they heard this. After all, who would make the entrance to their cave look like a sarcophagus? It must be because they think they didn't die early enough.

"Nine out of ten." Liang Shan nodded.

"The hobbies of the ancients were truly peculiar." Yi Tu muttered, and with a flick of his finger he jumped into the pit, picked up a shovel and started cleaning the dirt from the sarcophagus.

Shang Liangshan was stunned by him. You didn't believe it just now, shouldn't you confirm it again? Why did you just pick up the shovel and start working?

"Bang, bang, bang." This was the sound made by the sharp-eyed local militiamen who jumped into the pit and began to clean the dirt from the sarcophagus.

With strength in numbers, the sarcophagus was quickly cleaned, but half of its entire appearance was revealed. It was just a sarcophagus, without even any patterns.

"It's strange, why is there no mechanism? Could it be in the lower body?" The remains that were circling around the sarcophagus muttered.

Shang Liangshan was a little puzzled when he heard this. Could the mechanism really be in the lower body? He thought about it and felt that this was not possible.

So he said to the remains, "Sixth Elder, try pushing it and see if you can move it."

"Yes, let's try pushing it." Yitu nodded and pushed the militiamen who had entered the pit to help to the back of the pit.

"Puh" he spat a mouthful of liquid into his palm, wiped his hands, pushed up the sarcophagus lid, and uh, it didn't move when he pushed to the right.

He turned to the bottom of the sarcophagus and pushed, but it didn't move. He turned to the left and pushed, but it still didn't move.

Above the sarcophagus, Yi Tu took a deep breath, supported the sarcophagus lid with both hands, and pushed hard.

The sarcophagus made a "crackling" sound, scaring the remains of Tu so much that they jumped back.

"It moved." The verb sounded a second later, but the sarcophagus lid seemed to remain motionless under the gaze of everyone.

"Stay away and be careful of the miasma." Yi Tuchong waved to the militia standing at the edge of the pit.

Upon hearing this, the militiamen obediently retreated three steps, yes, three steps, because with the seven elders there, they were not afraid of the miasma.

Yi Tu took a deep breath, stepped forward again, supported the lid of the sarcophagus with both hands, and pushed hard with a bright yellow light all around him.

"Click, click" sounds were heard as the lid of the sarcophagus was pushed.

"Whoosh" This is not the sound of the wind, but the sound of rising air pressure. Gas mixed with the smell of earth rises from the open lid of the sarcophagus.

In a flash, the remains of the earth stepped backwards as the lid of the sarcophagus opened and the gas was released.

The scene was like a person jumping from a three-meter-high house and falling upside down.

The figure flashed and then retreated to the pit. His movements were so smooth that he brought up bits of mud.

All the militiamen held their breath and looked towards the entrance of the sarcophagus where mist was rising.

The mist rose and dissipated, revealing a fifty-centimeter hole. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

"It's water vapor." Shang Liangshan spoke to reassure people, and a light from thousands of homes appeared on his fingertips and he threw it towards the cave entrance.

Thousands of lights flew lightly toward the cave entrance and floated into it.

"There are stairs." With the help of the firelight, Yi Tu saw the stairs leading down.

Shang Liangshan flew into the pit, stretched out his hand and pushed the sarcophagus lid. A "click" sound followed, and the sarcophagus lid moved backwards until it was blocked by the soil layer, revealing a one-meter hole.

As the sunlight shines, the stone steps in the cave are revealed. They are very flat and moist.

Thousands of lights from Shangliang Mountain flew out, gathered into a fireball, and flew along the steps.

There is nothing special about it, except stone steps, which are flat and look like they were carved out.

"Bang" This was the sound made by the remains of the earth jumping into the pit after seeing that there was no danger.

"Sixth Elder, I'll go down and take a look first." Before he finished speaking, Shang Liangshan floated up the stone steps and walked down. His movements were truly like a ghost.

Yitu wanted to say something, but swallowed his words back after thinking about it. The hidden weapons should not be able to hurt Shang Liangshan who was so floating.

A fireball with thousands of lights gathered in it flew in front, and Shang Liangshan followed behind. They soon reached the bottom, and their vision suddenly became clear.

The expected precious light was not there, nor was there a single box.
