Chapter 202 Superstition
"There is no business without treachery, and the ancients will not deceive me."

Chen Jin cursed secretly in his heart.

So far, most of the funerary objects he has collected are the most basic gold, silver, ceramics and ironware, which cannot be exchanged for contribution points and can only be sold for money. There are also some books, but most of them are religious biographies and historical records, which are somewhat helpful for academic research. , but far less valuable than records of extraordinary strength.

Occasionally, I find some cultivation techniques, and the grade is not too high. After all, it is a small family, what kind of profound inheritance can it have?

Chen Jin did some calculations, and even with an optimistic estimate, he could only get 100 contribution points at most, barely earning back the ticket price.

"These businessmen make judgments based on past cases, combined with the times and analysis. Basically, there will be no loss-making business."

"Then Sun Qihao also said that it is possible to find ancient elixirs in it, but they can be submitted to the state for analysis of the elixirs to make a lot of money. Who the hell would bury a good elixir with him!"

If it was really as good as its boast, I would have dug it out long ago.

However, although Chen Jin was a little disappointed with the current situation, he was also mentally prepared. He knew that no one would do a loss-making business.

Now, we can only place our hope on the tomb in the center.

"boom!"

As a stone door was penetrated by Chen Jin, he came to the central area.

The quantity and quality of the funerary objects here have obviously risen to a new level. After only opening three stone chambers, a lot of good things were harvested, including complete county annals records, family inheritance skills, and fungible funerary puppets. Wait, the research value of these things is not small.

This made Chen Jin feel a little relieved.

After searching another stone room, Chen Jin suddenly looked down at the sonic detector in his hand and frowned.

It showed that not far from him, there was a space that was much larger than an ordinary stone chamber. Chen Jin originally thought that this was the tomb of a person with a high status in a certain clan, but before he walked in, there was a fierce feeling. The dark wind blew in his face, and the beast master's perception ability made Chen Jin's eyebrows beat quickly. He could feel that in the stone chamber in front of him, there was an extremely spiteful emotion, which was completely absent in the previous stone chamber. of.

But Chen Jin is not afraid. His energy and blood are much stronger than most warriors who are new to supernatural powers. This strong blood and energy is fatal to ghosts and monsters.

Unless you encounter a ghost that can transform into a condensed body.

With a low shout, Chen Jin kicked out. The stone door was shattered by the violent force without any resistance. In the smoke and dust, an empty stone room appeared in front of Chen Jin.

This stone chamber occupies an extremely large area, covering thousands of square meters. There is not much decoration in the stone chamber, only coffins placed vertically.

This surprised Chen Jin. The stone chambers he discovered before were all occupied by one coffin.

And the most bizarre thing is that these coffins are placed in groups of two, and at a rough glance, there are more than 40 groups.

"What kind of tricks are you doing?" Chen Jin muttered.

After walking into this place, the concentration of Yin Qi obviously increased sharply. Even with the strength of his Qi and blood, tiny goose bumps appeared on his skin.

However, Chen Jin was not afraid. Instead, there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes. The yin energy here reminded him of the experience of huddled on the eighth floor with Wei Tian during the joint entrance examination of the four schools.

Chen Jin shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and began to search the stone room.

These more than 40 groups of coffins seem to rise in order of status. There is a slightly raised platform in the center. The two coffins placed on it are obviously much more refined and noble.

Chen Jin reached out and lifted the lid of the coffin closest to him.

But what surprised him was that the coffin was empty.

It's not literally empty. There are quite a few funerary objects that should be there, but the most critical thing is missing.

That is the body of the tomb owner.

"The corpse has changed?"

Chen Jin frowned slightly and looked around, but felt that it didn't look like it. The coffin was well sealed and there was no trace of it being opened.

"Forget it, no matter what, I'll just take my baby."

Chen Jin waved his hand, and the gold and silver items in the coffin were put away.

Then he opened another coffin next to that one.

This time, there was a corpse inside. It was a woman, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen. She was wearing a golden crown and gorgeous clothes. Although it had been dilapidated by the corrosion of time, it could still be seen that the workmanship was quite exquisite and the items buried with her were quite dilapidated. Also mainly jewelry.

"what."

At this time, Chen Jin suddenly discovered something. He gently moved the chopper in his hand and moved the hands of the female corpse on her lower abdomen, and found that she was holding a somewhat turbid jade medal tightly.

This jade tablet was only the size of an adult's thumb, which gave Chen Jin a strange feeling. It seemed to contain some kind of magical power.

He stretched out his hand to take out the jade token, but at this moment, the female corpse in the coffin suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his wrist!

Chen Jin was stunned, and then he felt a strong force pulling him towards the coffin. At the same time, the other hand of the female corpse turned into a palm knife and stabbed Chen Jin's throat quickly and accurately!
This female corpse has obviously become a zombie. The nails on her hands are black and sharp, and her body is as hard as if it has been infected by paint.

However, only halfway through with the sword, the female corpse screamed, and a flame suddenly rose from the hand holding Chen Jin's wrist, which instantly ignited it!
The female corpse let out a shrill scream in the flames, and her body quickly charred. With a flick of Chen Jin's wrist, the female corpse fell apart like burned dead wood and turned into pieces of ashes.

Although this change happened suddenly, Chen Jin reacted so quickly. This female corpse was only at an innate level, so she naturally did not pose a threat to him.

However, there was no sign of relaxation on Chen Jin's face. He only heard the sound of "frame", and the lids of coffins rose into the sky. A coffin was opened in each group, and they were all coffins on the right. He sat up from the They are all female corpses!

At the same time, from the high platform in the center, there was a sharp scream that was about to pierce the eardrums!
Like the sound of giving orders, more than forty female corpses rushed towards Chen Jin!

Chen Jin's eyes were slightly cold, and with just a wave of his hand, the spiritual power of the world around him rioted. The magical power of the sun turned into a sea of ​​fire and pushed forward. All the female corpses he passed by burned up, and dozens of them were wiped out in an instant!

At this time, the remaining ones had already rushed forward, and Chen Jin did not panic at all, walking around under the siege of the female corpse. The female corpse's attacks were easily neutralized by Wuji Tu, and he could directly kill them with a casual punch. Zombified corpses smashed into pieces!
These female corpses posed no threat to him at all. In an instant, all the female corpses were cleared away, leaving only mutilated bodies on the ground.

Calm returned to the tomb, and there was no movement on the coffin on the high platform.

Chen Jin walked towards it, and when he got closer, he discovered that there was a stone tablet standing in the deepest part of the tomb of this stone chamber, with words written on it that Chen Jin was familiar with but could not understand.

Fortunately, the omnipotent auxiliary terminal translated it for him in time. After this thing was connected to the mysterious [Civilization Database], it included various languages ​​​​from ancient times to the present around the world.

Looking at the records on the stone tablet, Chen Jin couldn't help but frown deeper and deeper.

This tomb was built when the Qin Dynasty was just established.

It turned out that when the Qin State conquered the Chu State, all the aristocratic men here came out to protect their families and the country, but in exchange they were almost wiped out and not even the remains could be recovered.And many of these men were still unmarried, so the nobles here robbed the women, paired them with these men for dark marriages, and buried them all alive.

This is also the reason why these coffins are grouped in twos, with the left side empty and the female corpse on the right side.

What these female corpses hold in their hands are jade tokens carved from soul-locking jade, in order to trap the resentful souls of these women here forever.

Looking at the shocking words on the stone tablet, Chen Jin couldn't help but sigh.

Even though the ancients of this world had great power, they were still trapped in religious superstition.

It can be seen that extraordinary power cannot lead to the enlightenment of people's wisdom, but will only make exploitation and oppression more intense.

The progress of civilization is not just the development of science and technology. If the land of China did not have countless ancestors who came one after another at the cost of their lives to break the feudal cage and bring advanced ideas to the people, no matter how much science and technology develops, it will not be able to benefit the people. It will just become a tool for exploitation by the upper class.

This is why, although the current concentration of spiritual energy in China has not reached the level of hundreds of schools of thought, and the overall combat power is also much lower, Chen Jin is still full of expectations for China, believing that it will definitely become a powerful force in the future. It became a more glorious era of martial arts than the era of various schools of thought.

Without thinking any more, Chen Jin turned to look at the coffin on the high platform and sighed softly: "Although I sympathize with your fate, you are just a ghost that has been eroded by Yin Qi and has lost all your intelligence. What can I do?" Yes, I can only send you to reincarnation as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jin punched out, and the delicate sarcophagus on the high platform shattered into pieces!

Amidst the dust in the sky, a figure emerged from it, roaring towards him!At the same time, the Yin Qi in the entire stone chamber seemed to be driven, turning into countless Yin winds and attacking Chen Jin together!

But he just raised his hand and waved, and it was as if blazing sunlight rose from his body, driving away all the evil ghosts. The female corpse was ignited with raging fire, but it still rushed towards Chen Jin crazily, her green eyes Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if Chen Jin was the enemy who buried her life in the past.

With a sigh, Chen Jin did not hesitate, and blasted out his right fist like a cannonball, instantly shattering the female corpse's head and understanding her pain.

"Clap."

As the burning corpse fell to the ground, the tomb fell into complete silence, and the original strong Yin Qi was completely dispelled by the magical power of the sun.

Chen Jin looked at the corpses all over the ground, and after a slight hesitation, he decided to spend some time burying these poor women.

He also knew that this was just a waste of time, and the so-called fallen leaves returning to their roots was just superstition, but for some reason he was paranoid about doing this. Perhaps it was out of respect for life.

However, just as he bent down to pick up the female corpse, a vague soul suddenly emerged from her body and fell into the soul-locking jade in the coffin.

"Ok?"

Chen Jin was a little dazed, and then said in disbelief: "Is it possible that after thousands of years, this woman still has consciousness left?"

In school, Chen Jin learned basic knowledge about ghosts.

Most of the ghosts discovered so far are unconscious ghosts condensed by yin energy. These guys only wander around based on their instinct for flesh and blood. No matter how much yin energy, flesh and blood they swallow, they cannot give birth to spiritual intelligence or wisdom. It's just more powerful.

In order to give birth to spiritual wisdom, the conditions are extremely harsh. First of all, there must be a suitable environment. The Yin Qi cannot be too weak, otherwise it will not be able to support the survival of the soul body, and it cannot be too strong, otherwise the mind will be eroded by the Yin Qi and lose sanity.

Secondly, the person's own soul must also be extremely powerful, usually at least the soul of a clear-minded warrior who can communicate with the gods, in order to meet the requirements.

Finally, it requires extremely strong "obsession", which is mostly hatred, but it can also be regret, unwillingness, greed, etc.

Sometimes, as long as the obsession is strong enough, the first two conditions can even be relaxed.

The ghost in front of me must have been born from the tomb because of a strong obsession before death. Judging from its ability to drive other female corpses, it must have a certain amount of intelligence and be considered an extremely rare creature.

Chen Jin guessed that the female corpse on the high platform had a very strong soul before she was alive, similar to the talents of ancient witch cultivators and current beast masters. Driven by hatred, she successfully transformed into a ghost.

Unfortunately, the Yin Qi here is too strong, and the consciousness belonging to the original owner should have been expelled long ago. What remains at this time is just a new life form based on the obsession of the original owner and its soul as nourishment.

This is why Chen Jin directly killed him without even thinking about it.

but
Chen Jin looked at the soul-locking jade in the coffin. This jade plaque was obviously larger than the others, which showed the high status of the woman buried with him. There was also a record on the stone tablet that the coffin on the high platform belonged to the clan leader's son.

At this time, there seemed to be mist rolling around in the jade tablet, which was completely different from the lifeless appearance of other jade tablets.

"What's the situation?"

Chen Jin murmured in his heart.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Jin tried to put the jade token into the storage space, but unexpectedly received a force of resistance, which made his expression even more concentrated!
Living things cannot be placed in the storage space, and neither can souls. This shows that there are indeed souls left in this jade tablet!

Chen Jin thought for a moment and came up with a bold guess. The soul-locking jade was used to trap the soul, but it could also be used as a refuge for those who were proficient in the power of the soul. Perhaps the woman knew that she would be captured. The Yin Qi eroded, so he hid his soul in it, retaining part of his sanity.

Of course, this is just a guess, even a very unreliable guess. Chen Jin himself feels that it is a bit nonsense. If the soul is really so easy to preserve, then the streets should be filled with the remaining consciousness of people who long for immortality.

However, Chen Jin didn't care.

This ghost posed no threat to him when he was alive. No matter what was hidden in the jade token, it would not affect him. Once he left the spiritual realm and exchanged it for money, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

Without thinking any more, Chen Jin began to concentrate on searching the tomb.

From this stone chamber alone, the harvest far exceeds all the previous stone chambers combined!Every piece of soul-locking jade can be sold for a lot of money, and the jade tablet containing the soul is worth tens of millions!
After collecting all the good things, Chen Jin spent some time cremating and burying the female body.

After that, he began to move towards other stone chambers. The trap array in the central area was much more powerful, but it was still far from being able to break through Wujitu's defense. This allowed Chen Jin to destroy all the remaining stone chambers without any effort. The search is complete.

The people buried here should be patriarchs and elders, and the burial objects were much richer, and there were even core skills and secret techniques, which surprised Chen Jin.

After final calculation, the harvest from the entire tomb should be able to be exchanged for [-] contribution points and close to more than [-] million Chinese coins.

Roughly speaking, it is basically equivalent to Chen Jin exchanging more than 4000 million Huaxia coins for [-] contribution points. This harvest can only be said to be quite satisfactory. There are no surprises or surprises. Chen Jin took advantage of it, but not much.

This made him admire the accuracy of these profiteers' valuations.

However, this does not count the soul-locking jade containing the soul, whose value Chen Jin cannot figure out.

After packing everything up, Anliang's storage ring, which was worth more than a billion and had a space equivalent to a small study, was mostly filled. This trip was basically satisfactory.

"Then the only thing left is the large ruins that have been discovered."

Chen Jin didn't have high expectations for this opportunity. He just tried his luck and picked up some leftovers left by others.

At this time, it had just been a day and a half since he entered the Little Tianshan Spiritual Realm. After taking a short rest, he went straight to the last opportunity.
