I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 209 - 164: Dragon Vein
Hmm!
Qin Yuesheng suddenly woke up. Just at that moment, many memories that didn't belong to him emerged in his mind.
These were the memories retained from the two slain spirits during their lifetime.
It turns out these two were originally soldiers from the Yangzhou Prefecture, who were one day captured and brought to this remote mountain forest. Under threats and bribes from those three old men, they were forced to work as Supervisors for them.
The three also promised that once the construction here was completed, they would be released immediately.
But the final situation was as Qin Yuesheng saw: the three old men did not keep their promise. Instead, they cruelly killed the two soldiers and attached their spirits to the statues to guard the place, preventing intruders from breaking in.
According to the information Luo Changbao had previously told Qin Yuesheng, those three old men should be the rumored Wealthy Man, Master Fu, and Monk Bao.
"Building a temple and maliciously harming people, the malignant spirits here are mostly closely related to them. What on earth are these three after?" At this moment, Qin Yuesheng was extraordinarily puzzled.
If these three only wanted to create a secret place to store the money they've collected and their corpses as tombs, there was no need to kill all the craftsmen and laborers and hang them up one by one.
For the manpower of only three people, this workload seemed excessively complicated. To Qin Yuesheng, this situation seemed more like some kind of mysterious ritual.
It seems Wealthy Man, Master Fu, and Monk Bao are plotting something in this place.
With this doubt in mind, Qin Yuesheng dispelled the six arms behind him and directly walked into the passageway. He wanted to see what secrets were hidden here.
...
In the tomb chamber, white fog from the breath was visible in the chill, with a floor of solid ice and large blocks of ice in the corners maintaining the absolute low temperature here all year round.
Qin Yuesheng looked at the scene before him incredulously. He never expected that after breaking the iron door on the stone wall at the end of the passage, he would see such a scene.
Three frost-covered ice coffins were lined up in the center of the chamber, surrounded by towering piles of gold and silver treasures and dozens of large iron boxes.
The burial chamber, this place was indeed a tomb.
Wrapped in frost, the ice coffins prevented a clear view of the interiors from outside, but inside lay what should be the three from decades ago: Wealthy Man, Master Fu, and Monk Bao.
"Truly wealthy, indeed finding the burial site of Wealthy Man, Master Fu, and Monk Bao isn't a myth, their combined fortune is truly vast," Qin Yuesheng said as he casually picked up a cold gold brick.
Just as he was about to move closer to the ice coffins, a sudden sound of footsteps echoed from the passage behind. Qin Yuesheng spun around and saw a figure approaching.
"Another malignant spirit?" Qin Yuesheng prepared to rush over to slash it, but at this moment, the figure spoke.
"Is that you, young hero?"
Qin Yuesheng recognized the voice; it was Luo Changbao.
"How did he get here?" Qin Yuesheng wondered.
Soon, Luo Changbao emerged from the passageway, his arms swinging limply as he walked, indicating they hadn't fully healed.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"I watched for a while by the Nine-Layered Slaughter Tower and accidentally discovered a mechanism that made the chamber rise from underground again. I couldn't resist coming over," Luo Changbao said wearily.
Without another word, Qin Yuesheng grabbed Luo Changbao's arm firmly.
[Yes/No—Disassemble 'Luo Changbao']
"It wasn't a malignant spirit in disguise." Only then did Qin Yuesheng relax and release his grip. "How did you get past the pool?"
"My Lightweight Skill isn't too bad, I just walked across the heads of the hanging ghosts over the water surface."
"I can't believe that's possible." Qin Yuesheng was suddenly enlightened by his answer. Indeed, everyone thinks differently, as Qin Yuesheng never thought of touching those hanging bodies because who knows what hidden dangers might exist on them. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Luo Changbao was indeed quite bold, crossing the pool just like that, leaving Qin Yuesheng amazed.
Since the other party had already come, there was no reason to send him back, so Qin Yuesheng ignored Luo Changbao and walked directly toward an ice coffin.
Seeing the chamber full of gold and silver treasures, Luo Changbao's eyes reddened instantly. This trip to the ancient temple with his brothers was precisely for the Wealthy Man, Master Fu, and Monk Bao's riches. But now that the treasure has been found, his companions, who shared joys and sorrows along the way, were gone. The joy was unshared, leaving only sorrow and regret bottled inside.
Qin Yuesheng reached the ice coffin and wiped it with his hand, his Inner Strength immediately sweeping away the frost on the surface, revealing the interior.
On a burgundy blanket, lay a bald old man with closed eyes and a smile, his skin as normal as a living person. If not for lying in the ice coffin, Qin Yuesheng would have mistaken him for merely being asleep at first glance.
