23. Golden Crown

Before they could respond, I was running towards the nearest and largest mud arhat.

Sister Qiao obviously knew that it was impossible to open the folding stone door, and the mud arhat in front of me had already begun to help me open a way.

It's one thing to stand in front of us and stop us from those warriors, it's another thing to fight your way out of a horde of terracotta warriors.

Although there are many terracotta warriors, their speed is very slow, and their seemingly heavy bodies are actually very light, even I, who am not proficient in any kung fu and not very strong, can easily push them away, and if I change to a mud arhat, I can easily knock them away with a wave of my arm.

The sudden change in tactics also turned our situation around, as the Arhat easily knocked the Terracotta Warriors in front of him into the air, and continued to penetrate deeper into the tomb before the other Warriors could besiege him, and we followed closely behind the Arhat to the relatively safe area behind it.

Although we were a little slower than running at full speed, we made it back to the deepest part of the chamber with great ease, and I saw the source of the flash that shone at us - it was a terracotta warrior!

Is it a trap?

My head buzzed instantly, and it was as if a small bomb had exploded in my head, and the shockwave spread from the inside out, as if it had made my head swell with it - if it was a trap we would be dead!

The terracotta warrior held a short sword with a wide blade, and the shape of the sword looked like a big fat snake! The golden blade reflected the light of our flashlight, and as we approached it, it sped up its arm swing, as if shouting at us, "Come here, this way, come here!! ”

Is that the real reason why those bullet casings are in the coffin?

My pace slowed down because I saw this strange situation, but Ye Hong's speed became faster instead, and he exclaimed, "Grandpa?!" How could it be...... That's my grandfather!! ”

Hearing Ye Hong's words, I also set my eyes on the terracotta warrior wielding the golden short sword, and carefully looked at the face of the terracotta warrior.

I have only seen the old man of the Ye family lying in a coffin once in Ye Hong's hometown, but the face full of vicissitudes and stories left a deep impression on me. Although the face of the terracotta warriors looks full of rocky texture, I can still identify it from the facial features that it is the face of the old man of the Ye family!

Or that the terracotta warriors look exactly the same as the old man of the Ye family!

Old Man Ye's soul was not in his mourning hall, nor was it anywhere in the Ye family, Ye Hong said that it had completely disappeared. We had speculated before that someone would go to Ye Hong's house and detain Old Man Ye's soul, but now it seems that we may have found its whereabouts.

Ye Hong desperately ran towards the golden sword-wielding terracotta warrior, while Qiao Wei rushed over and grabbed Ye Hong's arm and shouted, "Be careful that it's a trap!" ”

That's what I'm worried about, this tomb is too evil!

Ye Hong seemed to have come to her senses all of a sudden, she slowed down and dodged behind the Mud Arhat, allowing the Mud Arhat to continue to rush ahead. Three seconds later, the mud arhat rushed in front of the terracotta warrior who resembled Ye Hong's grandfather, and at the same time, I also found that the huge sarcophagus at the end of the tomb had been opened!

The coffin was filled with gold, silver and jade, and in the midst of these treasures lay a corpse, whose clothes were rotten, but the flesh was still there, presumably with special embalming. The size of the corpse was indeed large enough, but it was not up to the level of a giant, it was estimated to be about one meter nine to two meters, and it had no head. He lay in the middle of a pile of treasures worth at least 100 million yuan - what a king of luxury and greed.

I didn't have much time to lament, the shaking of the burial chamber continued, and it was getting worse and worse, and it was a bit difficult to stay still in this environment, and I preferred to keep running around the room, especially with the strange terracotta warriors chasing us and slashing at us.

Sister Qiao didn't let the mud arhat punch the warrior wielding the golden sword away, but to see what it wanted to do.

This terracotta warrior did not attack us, but looked at Ye Hong with a sad look, as if it was Ye Hong's grandfather.

"Grandpa! Are you a grandfather?!! Ye Hong shouted at the golden sword warriors.

Strangely, the terracotta warrior nodded slowly, and then raised his hand and pointed into the coffin. It seemed to want to say something, but its mouth was made of stone, and it didn't have the function of opening and closing up and down, and it had no way to express what it wanted to say in words, so it could only point to the inside of the coffin.

As she pointed, the terracotta warrior approached the sarcophagus, and Zuihou rested its stone fingertips on a crown of gold and diamonds inside the sarcophagus.

There was another violent shaking, and this time the shaking of the burial chamber changed from the previous swaying from side to side to front and back, and I didn't have time to react for a while, and the center of gravity was shaken so that I stumbled forward, and the whole person almost fell into the sarcophagus.

Thanks to this stumble, two knives were chopped down behind me, and when the blades hit the floor, they made a loud bang, and even slashed out sparks!

I cried out in panic, and my hand subconsciously picked up something in the sarcophagus. I don't know if I'm going to make such a move, maybe it's because the terracotta warrior who looks like Ye Hong's grandfather keeps pointing at that thing, or maybe I've fallen into some evil, anyway, I picked it up and picked up the crown in the coffin.

And just as I was holding the crown in my hand, the terracotta warriors who had pursued and gathered around the sarcophagus stopped at the same time, and even the violent shaking in the tomb stopped, as if the crown was the mechanism that controlled all the strange things in the tomb.

"What does that mean?" I was surprised.

"These terracotta warriors think you're their emperor, right?" Qiao Wei guessed, but his eyes didn't look at me, but at the sword-wielding warriors who were less than three meters away from us at most.

Sister Qiao asked the mud arhat to turn around and return to the pile of terracotta warriors that were chasing from behind, and waved her fist to smash down many of them, but none of those terracotta warriors fought back, and they all stood obediently in place.

I tried to put the crown back in the coffin, and the moment I removed my hand from the crown, the terracotta warriors began to raise their knives again, and the ground shook with it!

"Pick it up !!!" Qiao Wei shouted with some excitement.

I didn't need his reminder, I quickly took the crown out of the sarcophagus, and I didn't dare to put it down anymore.

After a dozen seconds, the terracotta warriors slowly retreated back to where they had been when we first entered, and became lifeless again, just a statue. Ye Hong's grandfather was the same, except that he always held the golden short sword in his hand.

The terracotta army's attack was stopped, but Ye Hong's grandfather also stopped moving, and we couldn't ask him any questions.

Either way, all four of us let out a long breath.

We're safe for now.

I consulted with Sister Qiao and asked her if I should put the crown back in the coffin and then fasten the lid. Sister Qiao's opinion is that I'd better hold it first, at least wait until we find a way out before throwing it here.
