Now, after going through countless difficulties and dangers, they finally reached the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty's tomb. Just as they were about to see the 'coffin K' that was storing the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Fang Zishu's unease was unavoidable.

"No matter what, you have to pay more attention to the Master Fang's every move. After all, 'be careful of the ships that sail for ten thousand years'!" Seeing that Professor Xu was serious, Pang Dun did not say anything, and could only nod his head, agreeing that he would watch over Fang Zishu.

After walking through the main hall, there was the word "go back" in Corridor.

The empty ground on both sides of the Corridor was pitch-black, and there seemed to be a lingering stench from it.

Generally speaking, in the Corridor which led from the 'main hall' to the 'middle hall', it would normally be a garden or a medicinal garden. After a short period of time, even if the two sides of the Corridor had flourished with conspicuous flowers before, they would still rot and become nutrients in the soil beneath the sea and the mulberry fields.

Because of his mental cultivation method 'Xun', Fang Zishu did not go to the Middle Hall, but went past the two Corridor s and headed towards the rear hall. This was because there was a high possibility that the coffin of the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty was located there.

When the Professor Xu behind saw Fang Zishu's choice, he did not say much and instructed everyone to quickly follow.

The facts proved that Fang Zishu's guess was right.

In the rear hall's hall, Fang Zishu indeed saw a majestic coffin.

This coffin was entirely made of gold, and even after a thousand years, it still shone with a dazzling golden light.

"Tsk tsk, the place Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty sleeps in is really luxurious, it's actually a Gold Coffin!"

When Qi Sanbiaozi saw the glittering Gold Coffin, his eyes revealed traces of greed.

Although the line of tombs was different from the line of robbers and the great Jiang Yang bandits, there was one thing in common.

Thieves always paid attention to one word – thieves never leave empty space.

In the field of tomb robbing, although there was the saying 'the corner of the candle has changed color, and the crowing of chickens has quickly left', in the circle, no tomb robbers would obediently return to their original places after entering the tomb. While following the ancient teachings, they would also more or less casually take away some of the more valuable things from the tomb.

Before Xiao Hui introduced the Qi Sanbiaozi to join the Professor Xu's archaeological team, the Qi Sanbiaozi was a famous' National Grave Robber 'in the area of the two cities. Their daily business was to steal tombs, so to put it elegantly, he took their funeral objects from those Main Tomb s, and used the' underground black market 'to trade them to those literary people who loved to collect antiques.

This time, although Qi Sanbiaozi promised Professor Xu, he would not take the needle and thread in the tomb. But up until now, the Qi Sanbiaozi had taken advantage of the time that Professor Xu and the rest were not paying attention to take action, and thus far, he had taken advantage of the time that they were not paying attention to, and brought along a lot of small stuff with a lot of 'stock' in his bag.

Of course, those small 'goods' were not expensive. However, those things were too 'eye-catching', and each of them was larger than the last. With just the power of Qi Sanbiaozi alone, it was impossible for him to silently place the items into his own storage under the gazes of Professor Xu and the others.

Professor Xu liked to study historical and humanistic legends, such as the 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron' outside the great hall.

Qi Sanbiaozi also knew that if he were to sell the 'Soaring Dragon Cauldron', it would definitely be sold at a sky-high price. But that item was simply too heavy, even if all the people present worked together, they would still be unable to shake it, let alone move it away.

Taking a step back, even if the Qi Sanbiaozi dared to move the thing away, he wouldn't dare. After all, that thing was too old, and there were not many people on the black market who dared to buy it. However, the Gold Coffin in front of them were very different, it was all gold, money that had been passed down since ancient times.

Although he didn't need gold and silver to pay for the purchases, the current gold was way too expensive. If he could break this coffin and bring a big piece of gold back, then he wouldn't need to go to the underground black market. He only needed to find a place to mix in gold and it would be fine.

Thinking about it, the greed in Qi Sanbiaozi's eyes grew deeper. He had already made up his mind that he would find an opportunity to get some gold from the Gold Coffin. Otherwise, wouldn't this trip of his to hell be a waste of his suffering?

Just as Qi Sanbiaozi was sizing up the Gold Coffin, Fang Zishu had also suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his heart and looked towards the Gold Coffin K along with the Professor Xu. At that moment, Fang Zishu only had one thought in his mind, and that was to open the Gold Coffin K as fast as possible, so that he could find out if the 'Xun' Octagon Prismatic Amber that Old Chen spoke of was actually inside the 'Xun' Octagon Prismatic Amber K.

There were two intersecting golden objects engraved on the Gold Coffin s. According to the Professor Xu's judgement, these two intersecting golden objects were not the legendary huge objects. A dragon portrait was actually something called the 'Water Serpent'.

Book Seven of the Book of Luo says," There is a large snake in the north, and a large snake in the north. Five hundred years had passed in the spring and autumn, and after absorbing all the essence of heaven and earth, it had transformed into a Black Serpent. Black Snake had a low intelligence and loved to choose people to devour. After five hundred years of slumber, the serpent could take on a serpentine form. Then, after a thousand years, the dragon transformed into a three-way dragon. "After the Flood Dragon underwent the heavenly tribulation, the bloodline power within its body would awaken and it would ascend to the rank of a supreme True Dragon.

Of course, these were only the records of 'Luo Shu'.

As for whether the evolution and transformation was really as what was written in the book, the Professor Xu did not dare to be sure.

It was just that the golden object engraved on the Gold Coffin in front of everyone's eyes resembled a giant snake in appearance, but golden scales had grown on its two cheeks. The most astonishing thing was the two two-inch long whiskers that had grown from its chin.

As everyone knows, snakes are footless animals. But the large snake engraved on the Gold Coffin, not only was it alive, it also had four extremely small claws on its abdomen.

To be honest, Professor Xu who had researched on ancient tombs for so many years had learned a lot of new things as well.

For example, in ancient China, since the Qin Dynasty, most of the times were feudal society.

And in feudal society, there is a clear division of rights and status.

For example, the emperor whose status was the most revered, the mausoleum that traveled from top to bottom after his death, was engraved with a True Dragon pattern that displayed his lofty status.

And the princes and other nobles with lesser statuses, under the strict social hierarchy, no matter how lofty their statuses were, could only wear clothes engraved with the 'Python's Robe'. Even the mausoleum was no exception!
