"Too beautiful!"
"How is this possible!"
"It's been over two thousand years, yet she's like she's just asleep!"
"Could she really be coming back to life?"
The crowd was in awe.
Yang Chen frowned and looked at Yang Cao.
Yang Cao imdiately put on rubber gloves and reached out to lift the woman's chin.
There were no marks on her neck!
Yang Cao even wiped her neck twice to confirm there was no makeup or covering; the feel was genuine, smooth, and soft.
"No marks!" Yang Cao said with a slightly darkened expression, "Quick, get the stuff! Cover the coffin!"
It seed everyone had the sa thought and hurriedly took out the burial items from the coffin.
However, there didn't seem to be what they were looking for in the coffin.
Aside from so jade pendants, there were only gold and silver jewelry, utterly worthless.
"Lift her up and see if there's anything hidden underneath!" Xiang Xingyu said.
At once, soone took out a rope, passed it under the woman in the red dress, and lifted her up.
Witnessing this, Yang Chen furrowed his brow while Left Envoy Yang also showed displeasure, reminding, "Be careful not to harm her or you'll be unfilial descendants; no one will take you even in hell!"
Hearing this, the Xiang family couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Indeed, they were robbing their ancestor's tomb, and the woman might very well be their ancestor King Xiang's woman—Yu Ji!
They imdiately beca much more cautious.
Xiang Xingyu personally reached down to feel underneath the coffin.
He knocked and discovered there was a hidden compartnt.
"Found it!" Xiang Xingyu exclaid excitedly, uncovering the red cloth below, opening the secret compartnt, and taking out a small bronze box!
As he was about to remove the box, the woman in the red dress moved suddenly!
She spun around and grabbed Xiang Xingyu's arm, roaring, "Roar!"
The seemingly frail woman roared like a lion, frightening Xiang Xingyu's face into a drastic change.
Because he saw a tendril-like vine extending from the woman's mouth!
"Quick, pull her off!" Xiang Xingyu exclaid in panic.
Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but be shocked, silently thinking that it was indeed the case!
He felt sothing was amiss when he didn't see any marks on the woman's neck.
Because if this was indeed the burial place of Yu Ji, she would certainly have neck wounds. Now, with her neck showing no scars, only the parasitic organism on the vine could accomplish this!
That's why her body could remain intact for over two thousand years!
Now, having erged from the coffin and breathed fresh air, naturally, she would awaken.
At this mont, Yang Cao rushed forward, splashed water on the woman in the red dress.
Imdiately, the woman in the red dress cald down and could barely open her eyes, looking drowsy.
"Quick! Put everything back in and cover the coffin board!" Yang Cao shouted.
Xiang Xingyu hurriedly took out the box, and the crowd frantically laid the woman back into the coffin, covered her with the red cloth, hurriedly poured two bags of pearls inside, and nailed the coffin lid shut.
Nailing the coffin shut, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Xiang Xingyu couldn't help but ask, "What did you use just now?"
"Water!" Yang Cao replied, "This parasitic creature fears water. Splashing water on her puts her into a dormant state."
"You knew all along?" Xiang Xingyu asked, not looking pleased.
After all, the Xiang family had lost many people because of this thing!
Yang Cao said coldly, "I only realized it in the pool; didn't you see the guards floating on the water?"
Xiang Xingyu glared at Yang Cao, dissatisfied with this answer. With a cold snort, he walked to the side and opened the bronze box.
The bronze box was of ancient texture, intricately carved, completely unlike sothing from over two thousand years ago.
Opening the box, the sound was crisp, without obstruction.
Inside was half of a breastplate.
The front of the breastplate was smooth as a bronze mirror, while the backside was carved with a dragon, fierce and mighty, but its head was missing, likely on the other half.
Seeing this half of the breastplate, Xiang Xingyu beca excited, looking up at Xiang Jixian.
Xiang Jixian took the breastplate with trembling hands, his face full of excitent, tears streaming down, "The object our Xiang family has sought for generations, finally... finally found!"
Seeing the Xiang family so emotional, Yang Chen frowned slightly, wanting to step forward to see what kind of breastplate it was.
But Zhang Shaoting stopped him, saying, "This thing is ominous; better not touch it!"
Yang Chen glanced at Zhang Shaoting's serious face, thought for a mont, and nodded slightly.
Since the entire affair involved the curse on the Xiang and Zhang families, and this thing was sothing Yang Chen himself witnessed, it was better to stay away.
Zhang Shaoting and Xiang Jixian took the breastplate, and at the mont of holding it in hand, Zhang Shaoting couldn't help but burst into tears, turning to Zhang Qicheng, saying, "It's it! It's it! Third Uncle! It's it!"
Zhang Qicheng also felt it, trembling excitedly, "Good! Good! Good!"
For him, finding this breastplate ant his son could finally be saved.
Left Envoy Yang whispered in Yang Chen's ear, "The other half should be in another coffin."
Yang Chen nodded slightly, pulling Left Envoy Yang back a step.
With previous experience, surely the body inside this coffin was also infected.
Imdiately, Xiang Xingyu commanded people to open the coffin.
The contents were the sa, a layer of pearls.
After removing the pearls, there laid a dragon-embroidered yellow cloth, symbolizing the status of the tomb's owner.
Yang Chen stepped forward to look at the person, still appearing as if asleep, reassuring Yang Chen that this person didn't look like him, instead impressive and domineering.
Wearing armor, with the half breastplate on top of it.
At that mont, Xiang Xingyu reached out and extracted the breastplate.
"Quick! Cover it!" Xiang Xingyu shouted.
"Wait!" Zhang Shaoting shouted.
Xiang Xingyu glared at Zhang Shaoting, scolding, "What do you want to do? If we don't cover it now, do you want to get us killed?"
Zhang Shaoting said, "There must be more beneath it. If we don't check it now, it won't be easy to co back again!"
Imdiately, Zhang Shaoting called Zhang Qicheng, lifted the body, found the secret compartnt below, and took out the bronze box inside.
But just as they were about to cover the body, one giant hand swung out, throwing Zhang Shaoting off.
Simultaneously, the corpse's hand grasped a Xiang family mber's neck and squeezed hard.
Crack!
"Roar!" The corpse roared fiercely, shaking the ground.
Yang Cao saw this and urgently splashed water on it.
Splash!
"Roar!"
The corpse roared angrily at Yang Cao, reluctantly lying back down.
"Quickly cover it!" Yang Cao shouted.
Everyone rapidly covered it with the yellow cloth, poured in pearls, and closed the coffin.
As everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the other coffin began emitting a series of silent knocks.
The female corpse had awakened!
