As the ghost pill pool shattered, that slender chain appeared in the world.
"What's going on? Those evil spirits seem to have disappeared, and that big door is gone too."
Wu Tianzhen looked at the surrounding evil spirits that had vanished and muttered.
"Tianzhen, you don't know this, but it's as if the heavens finished their business and went back."
Wang Banyue said casually. Although he knew he was joking, his serious expression made Wu Tianzhen want to laugh.
"It's probably time. I didn't expect that young man in black to be so powerful. If only I could have a deeper conversation with him."
Wu Tianzhen murmured, a trace of admiration appearing on his face.
"Young Master Wu, what are you thinking? Second Brother can only be my Big Brother!"
Wang Kaixuan, standing nearby, immediately objected and cursed.
While the fat man was arguing, on Zhang Tian's side, when the thin chain appeared, the surrounding small ghosts froze.
The next moment, the chains on their chests began to extend forward, forcing the small ghosts towards Zhang Tian.
It was clearly a gesture of mutual destruction.
In the hundred-meter tomb chamber, the thick chain slithered towards Zhang Tian like a python.
At the same time, the sound of iron scraping against the ground could be heard.
"Cut quickly!"
Zhang Qilin's voice came, his strength almost depleted.
Zhang Tian glanced at the charging figures, then turned and, without hesitation, unleashed his full power, swinging his sword down.
*Crack.*
With a crisp sound.
The chain snapped.
Immediately after, the chain, as thick as a fist, began to break apart.
Zhang Tian looked back.
He saw the charging small ghosts stop just as they were about to pounce on Zhang Qilin. Then, a puff of black smoke extended from their chests.
Black, malevolent energy began to spread upwards.
Simultaneously, the chains on the small ghosts also started to break.
The children slowly stopped their advance.
Hundreds of Yin souls looked at each other, momentarily stunned.
*Crack, crack.*
After the chains broke from their chests, the souls of the children began to become ethereal.
It was clear they had been forcibly brought here.
"Boss, that's great, just a little bit more."
Hu Bayi, watching the ghost children who were only a millimeter away from Zhang Qilin, let out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Qilin also slowly exhaled and popped a few pills into his mouth.
Rejuvenating pills were most effective after combat.
Zhang Tian looked at the children who had vanished, his heart clear.
The existence of these little ones was primarily due to the restraint of these chains.
Without the chains, these creatures would have simply disappeared.
Moreover, although they appeared to have souls, they were merely puppets controlled by these chains.
No, to be precise, they were controlled by this whisk!
Zhang Tian lowered his head and looked at the tiger's mouth.
Inside the tiger mouth statue, since the thin chain had been cut by Zhang Tian, the intricately coiled chains had already shattered.
At this moment, a streak of white caught Zhang Tian's eye.
"A pity, only one head."
Zhang Tian picked up the white whisk head, sighing slightly.
Whisks were often seen in Taoist temples and in movies and TV shows.
Whether it was celestial beings or folk Taoist priests, they might not have a peach wood sword, but almost everyone had a whisk.
This showed how powerful the item was.
"Boss, it's only one head, is it useless?"
Hu Bayi's gaze shifted, and upon seeing only the whisk's head, his interest waned.
Zhang Qilin glanced at it; he didn't understand this object and remained silent.
"This thing is quite useful, I'll keep it for now."
"Maybe it'll be useful later."
As Zhang Tian spoke, the tiger head carving in front of him made a sound again.
The tiger head, which had already opened its mouth, split into two halves.
A small tomb passage, only large enough for a few people, appeared before them.
"Hey, this time it's all thanks to Fatty. If Fatty hadn't burned paper to attract the attention of the little ghosts, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Indeed, I am the best."
The fat man swaggered over.
His face was full of pride, shamelessly taking all the credit.
He even considered changing his catchphrase.
Zhang Tian's forehead was covered with black lines. If it weren't for Wang Banyue, this guy would have wanted to burn all the paper he burned.
"Hey, Brother Kaixuan, what about us? It was our collective effort to overcome the difficulties."
Wang Banyue quickly interjected, afraid of not getting any credit.
Zhang Tian rubbed his forehead.
"Alright, let's check the surroundings first. If there are no other discoveries, we can proceed to the next level."
Zhang Tian's gaze fell upon the hundreds of coffins behind them.
Eight hundred coffins. Zhang Tian wanted to see what was inside.
"What? A friendly greeting to the tomb owner? Boss, you don't need to say it, Fatty knows this well!"
Fatty patted his chest, clearly understanding grave robbing.
"Let's split into several directions and check separately. Everyone be careful of any remaining traps."
Zhang Tian ignored Fatty and made a simple arrangement.
As Zhang Tian finished speaking, Hu Bayi and Zhang Qilin immediately began their inspection.
Wu Tianzhen, after a moment of surprise, also walked towards the coffins.
Zhang Tian then had the opportunity to examine the coffins.
"These are Qin Dynasty carvings, it seems old man Xu Fu still missed his homeland."
"The carvings use the most common style of that era, with patterns, and there are some gold edges on the coffin lid, fitting the coffins of wealthy individuals at the time."
Zhang Tian's gaze swept over the coffins.
He could identify them at a glance.
At the same time, Zhang Tian felt a touch of emotion. Xu Fu was truly wealthy, even the coffins for these children were made with gold edges.
In ancient times, coffins with gold were only enjoyed by emperors and the noble.
Ordinary people would consider themselves lucky to have a grave.
Zhang Tian pushed the coffin lid with his hand.
The next moment, the lid was pushed open.
He looked inside and, as expected, a child's corpse appeared within the coffin.
The child's body had likely been filled with mercury, appearing pale. The child was dressed in a uniform black robe, and their face was adorned with strange makeup.
If all eight hundred coffins were opened, it would undoubtedly be a shocking sight.
Zhang Tian's gaze scanned the interior of the coffin.
Indeed, inside the coffin, there was an inscription.
"Bastard son, in the barren fields, specially offered to the divine king. May our mountain family flourish throughout the world."
Reading the flowing script, Zhang Tian shook his head slightly.
It seemed these people had been specifically sent here.
Zhang Tian looked further inside.
On the child, Zhang Tian found a jade pendant, likely a boy's jade.
Boy's jade was a jade pendant worn by a child from birth. In earlier times, wealthy families would give one to their children.
It was said to ward off evil and ensure safety.
Zhang Tian picked up the jade pendant and examined it, finding nothing special, so he didn't take it.
Meanwhile, Fatty and the others were like opening treasure chests.
Especially the two fat men, seeing that there were still good things in the coffins, they couldn't wait to turn over all the surrounding coffins.
Zhang Tian patted his forehead, these two were truly pathetic.
