Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chapter 288 Coffin Code - No. 83

"What are you doing?"

The door of the sarcophagus closed and opened again.

In just a few seconds, Chu Ning saw several people of different shapes surrounding the sarcophagus.

Seeing Chu Ning stepping out of the sarcophagus gently, intact, several people looked at each other.

"Xiao Ning, you didn't..."

Qi Tiezui awkwardly withdrew his outstretched hand, touched his nose and asked uncomfortably, but his words were incoherent. Finally, he pulled Adjutant Zhang to check the coffins.

Yin Xinyue took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhang Qishan.

Only Er Yuehong stood there motionless, with no expression on his face.

Chu Ning moved closer to Er Yuehong, leaned forward with his hands behind his back, and shouted with his head tilted.

"Second Master~"

A tone that sounds like asking for a beating.

Er Yuehong rubbed Chu Ning's head fiercely, "What did you find?"

He knew that Chu Ning would not suddenly enter the sarcophagus for no reason and come out in a very short time. He must have activated some mechanism.

Chu Ning stood up straight, the smile disappeared from his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Master Buddha will be well soon."

This incoherent sentence made Er Yuehong feel irritated.

"Hey! Come over here and take a look! These coffins are numbered!"

Qi Tiezui was waving and calling people over there. Chu Ning turned his head and glanced at Zhang Qishan who was sitting next to him.

Then he met Er Yuehong's worried gaze.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

He pulled Er Yuehong's sleeve and walked towards Qi Tiezui.

Qi Tiezui walked around the wall and found that the numbers on each coffin were different. It seemed that they were arranged according to family rather than age at death.

"What are you, the Zhang family, doing? Instead of building a tomb and a monument after death, you're putting a code here?

Why is it so weird?"

Qi Tiezui used his elbow to fiddle with Adjutant Zhang's side, not understanding what the Zhang family was doing.

Adjutant Zhang had fewer doubts than Qi Tiezui. He knew that members of the Zhang family must be buried in the ancient building after their death. However, he had never been to the ancient building, so naturally, this was his first time seeing the scene inside the building.

Seeing Adjutant Zhang shaking his head, Qi Tiezui tsk-tsk twice, "Are you still a member of the Zhang family?"

Adjutant Zhang's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke word by word, "I'm just a branch, not a member of the clan!"

Er Yuehong and Chu Ning heard Adjutant Zhang's words when they arrived.

"So, Master Buddha is not from this clan either?"

Er Yuehong asked Adjutant Zhang.

Adjutant Zhang nodded slightly.

Chu Ning squinted at the numbers on the coffin lid beside him, "There's a name here."

Qi Tiezui leaned in closer to take a closer look. "Hey, there really is one. Zhang, Zhang, Ze, Zhuan... Who is Zhang Zezhuan?"

Qi Tiezui pinched the leg of his glasses and took a long time to identify the small words engraved next to the code. These words could not be found at all without careful observation.

Adjutant Zhang's expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out, "Impossible!"

Several people looked at Adjutant Zhang. It seemed that Adjutant Zhang knew the owner of the coffin.

"What's impossible? The coffin is here. Could it be that someone in your family carved it for fun?"

Adjutant Zhang's face was filled with disbelief. "Zhang Zezhuan was Master Fo's father. He has been dead for many years."

Er Yuehong looked at Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang with a serious expression, "I remember that Master Fo's father died on the way to evacuation that year."

Qi Tiezui grabbed the adjutant's arm and nodded vigorously.

Er Yuehong lowered his eyes to look at Chu Ning who was sticking to him obediently, and suddenly took a step forward and placed his hand on the edge of the coffin lid. Judging from his movements, he actually wanted to open the coffin.

Adjutant Zhang quickly stopped him and shouted, "Second Master, this is Master Fo's father!"

Er Yuehong tapped the coffin lid lightly with her slender fingers, her beautiful eyes frivolous, "Is he the father of Master Fo? There are still doubts.

Instead of guessing, it’s better to check directly.”

After saying that, he exerted force with his hand, and the coffin lid creaked, and Er Yuehong opened a corner.

Seeing the person lying inside, Adjutant Zhang's forehead veins popped out, "Second Master! You!"

Chu Ning turned slightly and looked at Adjutant Zhang, who was about to be furious.

The next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Adjutant Zhang's head, and Adjutant Zhang was stunned.

"Adjutant, are you sure the person lying in here is really Mr. Buddha's father?"

Adjutant Zhang was stunned. He turned his head slowly towards Chu Ning, his eyes full of uncertainty. "What?!"

"If we calculate by time, Master Fo's father has been dead for at least 10 years. Even if his body hasn't turned into bones, it will be different in these 10 years.

And there’s…”

Chu Ning stood next to Er Yuehong. Er Yuehong pushed the coffin lid open a little more, revealing the upper body of Zhang Zezhuan's body.

"There are no wounds on this body."

Several people looked into the coffin. The face of the person inside was blue and gray, without any signs of corpse spots or gigantism. It was as if he was lying inside and fell asleep.

"how come……"

Adjutant Zhang had a guess in his mind and took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief.

"No, it can't be like that..."

Qi Tiezui looked at the dazed Adjutant Zhang with concern. Chu Ning held the coffin lid with his hands and was silent for a while. Finally, he asked Er Yuehong to help him and spoke softly.

"Second Master, please take the trouble to close the coffin lid."

Just after Er Yuehong closed the coffin lid, Chu Ning moved his ears and spoke out to remind everyone.

"Stand still."

It was another sentence without any reason. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise from the ground and the vibration spread from the soles of his feet to his body.

Qi Tiezui was protected by Adjutant Zhang the moment he fell.

Er Yuehong held Chu Ning's arm tightly.

Over there, Yin Xinyue and Zhang Qishan were sitting, so the impact was not as great as if they were standing.

The sound was accompanied by "click, click..." After a while, a hole the size of a doorway slowly opened in the center of the platform, and a coffin rose up and appeared as the hole opened.

“This! This?!”

Everyone's eyes were attracted.

Yin Xinyue calmed down the increasingly agitated Zhang Qishan. Chu Ning walked towards everyone and saw the code on the lid of the sarcophagus - No. 83.

So Chu Ning turned around and looked at Adjutant Zhang, who was avoiding his gaze. "Adjutant, you know what to do, right?"

Adjutant Zhang faced Chu Ning's clear eyes, closed his eyes, and nodded slightly.

Chu Ning turned around with a smile and pretended to push open the coffin lid. Er Yuehong and Qi Tiezui wanted to step forward to help but were stopped by Chu Ning.

“Second Master, Eighth Master.

I can do it.”

The fingertips pressing on the coffin lid turned white. Chu Ning lowered his head, and his hair fell to cover his forehead and block his clear eyes.

The men exerted force and the sarcophagus opened.
