Chapter 456: Coffin

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was a polygonal tomb with nine corners. In each corner was a coffin with a hole beside it.

From the four directions to the middle was a ladder that led down. There was a very wide flat ground below the ladder. On the flat ground was a Taiji Eight Trigrams Map. In the middle of the Taiji Eight Trigrams Map, a coffin exuding a strong murderous aura was floating.

The coffins in the nine corners had all been opened.

Therefore, the dumplings in the coffin were gathered in the middle.

In the middle were all kinds of poisonous substances.

Most importantly, these dumplings and poison were attacking the Sun father and son.

Only the father and son of the Sun family were left. The other guards had all fallen nearby.

The corpses of those guards were being eaten by countless worms.

Blood, eerie white bones, cracking sounds of tearing and biting.

The ground was sprinkled with red, white, green, and green colors.

It was hair-raising and made one’s stomach spasm uncontrollably.

“Eurgh…”

Anya couldn’t help but turn around and vomit.

Chu Luo said to the three of them, “Protect yourselves. I’ll go save them.”

With that, she tapped her toes and jumped over.

Chu Luo appeared when she jumped into the air. At the same time, she held a copper bell in one hand and quickly shook it. With her other hand, she crushed a handful of pills and sprinkled them on the worms.

When the Sun father-and-son duo, who were already struggling, saw Chu Luo come, hope appeared in their eyes.

Sun Tianhao shouted, “Chu Luo, it’s great that you’re fine.”

Chu Luo jumped in front of them and stood still. She quickly shook the bell and the dumplings finally stopped moving.

The worms seemed to have encountered a powerful enemy under the effects of the medicinal powder and quickly fled in all directions.

However, when Chu Luo stood still, the coffin above her suddenly trembled.

Chu Luo looked up and turned to ask the Sun father and son, “Can you walk?”

Third Master Sun thought that Chu Luo wouldn’t be able to deal with the thing in the coffin above her head. His legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

He waved at Chu Luo. “I can’t take it anymore. Little Chu, leave with Tianhao first.”

“Daddy, what are you saying!” Sun Tianhao widened his eyes and looked like he was facing death calmly. “How can I leave if you don’t leave?”

Chu Luo looked at the two of them with a wooden face. After two seconds of silence, she asked Sun Tianhao, “How much strength do you have left? Can you help Uncle Sun up?”

Sun Tianhao bent down to help Third Master Sun, but he too, was struggling, thus ending up falling down on his knees.

Sun Tianhao punched the ground and said weakly, “Chu Luo, leave. We don’t want to burden you anymore. Dad and I must have been poisoned. Not only do I have no strength, but my entire body is also in pain.”

As he spoke, he actually felt sad. He said, “I want to tell you something now. Otherwise, I won’t have a chance again. I…”

Bang!

“Ouch~~”

Li Yan let Chu Luo make him visible. He looked coldly at the person he had kicked and asked in a low voice, “What do you want to say to my wife?”

Sun Tianhao, who was a little dazed, suddenly jolted awake.

“Li… Li Yan!”

“Hmph!”

Li Yan snorted at him and said to Qin Ming, who had already appeared, “Let’s each carry one and leave this place.”

Qin Ming nodded and carried Third Master Sun on his shoulder.

Sun Tianhao looked at Li Yan, who was walking towards him, and suddenly felt especially resistant.

Li Yan saw his resistance and said mercilessly, “Alternatively, you can choose to wait for death here.”

Chu Luo looked at him and added, “After we leave, these dumplings will attack you again. Also, those worms. If you want to die this way, there’s nothing we can do.”

Sun Tianhao was so stifled that he really wanted to lie here and leave everything to fate. However, even though he was being carried, even though he didn’t have much strength left, Third Master Sun, who could still shout at him, shouted at him,

“Rascal, how dare you fumble the ball at this moment. I’ll smash that computer in your room when we get back.”

Chu Luo and Li Yan watched as Sun Tianhao sat up from the floor.

He straightened his neck and said to Li Yan, “Thank you, then.”

That aura was simply incredible.

In the next second, Li Yan picked him up and carried him on his shoulder.

Then… he froze again.

Chu Luo, who was standing at the side, smiled.

Li Yan took two steps and saw that Chu Luo didn’t follow, so he stopped to look at her.

Chu Luo said, “You guys go to one of the holes first. I’ll see who’s inside this coffin. If it’s a big dumpling, I’ll seal him.”

Li Yan thought for a moment and said to her, “Let’s check it out together after I bring him over.”

Chu Luo knew that he was worried about her, so she nodded.

Then, she took out a bottle of medicine and two talismans and handed them to Qin Ming.

“Feed this medicine to Uncle Sun and the others. Qin Ming, take the talismans. When the time comes, those things won’t dare to approach you.”

“Okay.”

Qin Ming took the things and the two of them carried the Sun father and son towards one of the holes.

Anya quickly followed.

Chu Luo had been standing there looking at the swaying coffin above her head. She was already holding two talismans in her hand, ready to attack.

Li Yan quickly walked back.

The moment he stood in front of Chu Luo, the two talismans in Chu Luo’s hand shot towards the coffin.

However, not only did the coffin not stop shaking, but it was now shaking more violently than before.

Chu Luo said, “Looks like the thing inside is very powerful.”

“Can you seal him?”

“Yes, but I want to see what’s inside.”

Chu Luo didn’t know why she was so persistent, but she really wanted to see.

Li Yan looked at Chu Luo’s persistent face and thought for a while before saying, “Can you lower this coffin?”

“I’ll try.”

As Chu Luo spoke, she quickly played the Phoenix Zither.

The sound of the zither was soothing and had a soothing charm.

At the same time, her body emitted countless fluorescence. The fluorescence surrounded the coffin and slowly lowered it.

The coffin landed on the ground with a loud bang.

Chu Luo put away the Phoenix Zither and stood with Li Yan to look at the coffin that had fallen to the ground.

After about a minute, violent banging sounds suddenly came from the coffin, as if the person inside was struggling to break free or had undergone a zombie transformation.

Li Yan subconsciously grabbed Chu Luo’s hand and shielded her.

Chu Luo quickly held a talisman in her hand.

At that moment, a golden light flashed into the coffin, and the commotion in the coffin stopped.

Moreover, the murderous aura inside had disappeared.

Chu Luo and Li Yan looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Chu Luo wanted to go over and take a look.

Li Yan pulled her back. “Stand here.”

After saying that, he took out a thin whip and curled it around the coffin lid before rolling it up.

After a while, nothing came out of the coffin. The two of them walked over.

When she saw the person lying inside, Chu Luo exclaimed in surprise.

“How can it be a person? Moreover, a modern person?”

There was a man who looked to be in his twenties lying inside. Judging from the situation, he seemed to have been lying for a long time. As for the source of the murderous aura emanating from this coffin, it was actually a dagger carved with a red dragon beside the man.

“Crimson Dragon Dagger.” Chu Luo said to Li Yan in surprise, “It’s recorded in ancient books that this is Emperor XX’s personal weapon. It’s extremely powerful and can kill demons.”

“Why does it emit such a powerful baneful aura?”

Chu Luo thought for a while and guessed, “It’s possible that it was buried for too long and absorbed too much Yin Energy. Moreover…”

At this point, she looked around the tomb chamber and saw many dried blood stains. “It’s possible that this dagger absorbed a lot of ghosts.”

This looked like the main tomb. Grave raiders must have entered batch by batch and been dealt with batch by batch by the dumplings and worms inside. After so many years, there must be countless ghosts.

Li Yan nodded and said to Chu Luo, “This person looks like the father of your body.”

Chu Luo: “…”

She had never taken the Chu family seriously. Although she felt that this person was familiar at first glance, she didn’t think so far ahead. She didn’t expect Li Yan to be able to tell at a glance.

Li Yan asked her, “Do you want to take this person away?”

Chu Luo looked at the gentle-looking man in the coffin and thought for a while before nodding. “Let’s take him away and bury him in the Chu family tomb.”

“Mm.” Li Yan pointed at the dagger. “Can you take this dagger out?”

“I can’t. You can,” Chu Luo said. “Only the dragon aura on you can suppress this kind of dagger.”

When Li Yan heard this, he reached for the dagger.

However, when his hand reached into the coffin, the dagger suddenly emitted a powerful murderous aura that was about to pierce his arm.

At that moment, his hand emitted a golden light that suppressed all the baneful aura.

Li Yan took out a dagger and the man lying in the coffin actually opened his eyes…
