After Being Reborn, I Tortured The Vicious Sister-in-law Chapter 218

218 The Process of Tomb Raiding

Wen Le described in detail what happened that day.

It turned out that in the tomb raiding business, before entering the tomb, one had to pay tribute to the local Earth God. In addition to some offerings, five incense sticks had to be lit.

If the incense sticks were lit neatly, it meant that one could go down. On the other hand, if the incense sticks were burnt badly, one could not go down.

That day, Wen Le and his friends followed the usual practice of burning incense and offering offerings to the Earth God before they went down. They waited for a while and saw that the incense was burned properly. Only then did they go down.

Worshipping the Earth God first was only the first step. It was to pray for the Earth God's protection. After they went down, they lit incense at the entrance of the tomb to explore the way. The incense was still burning very brightly. If they could not light it after three times, then they could only give up on the tomb. No matter how many treasures there were, they could not go.

Similarly, if the incense sticks burned brightly the first time and burned brightly until the end, it meant that they could enter the tomb.

Wen Le and his friend were very happy to see this. After the two of them prepared other tools, they directly took the candles and walked in.

He and his friend successfully arrived at the tomb. According to Wen Le's memories, the tomb should have been from the Han Dynasty. It was very spacious inside, but there were no treasures. Only the candlesticks were still worth some money.

In the tomb, other than the candlesticks on the wall, there was only a jade coffin placed in the middle. The coffin was black and shiny, not damaged at all. It was inlaid with large pieces of jade and gold. It looked quite gorgeous.

According to the rules of tomb raiding, anything could be taken from the tomb except for the coffin. The older it was, the more dangerous it would be.

In their circle, there was a story about a tomb raider who was greedy and didn't want to take away the treasures in the tomb. He even wanted to open the coffin to take a look before he left.

After the coffin was opened, the corpse inside encountered the aura of a living person and turned into a zombie. That person escaped from the tomb and thought it was safe. However, not long after, his body seemed to be sucked dry by something. One night, he died in his own house.

No one could be sure whether this was true or not, but everyone tacitly agreed that the coffin was not to be touched. Wen Le had always remembered this. Therefore, when he and his friend saw that there were no treasures in the tomb, although he was disappointed, he did not have any intention of touching the coffin.

However, his friend had a devious intention. The two of them used their connections in the circle and it took them a whole year to find this tomb. It was said that there were many treasures buried with it. They thought that they could make a fortune, but in the end, it was empty.

They spent a lot of effort but came back empty-handed. The friend was unwilling. Even though he had promised Wen Le that he would not touch the coffin, however, when Wen Le went to check the other parts of the tomb, his friend still opened the coffin secretly behind his back.

When he returned, he saw his friend standing beside the coffin with a dried-up corpse of a woman in a red dress, his eyes fixed on the inside of the coffin.

Wen Le called out to him a few times, but there was no response. His friend's eyes were blank. In the words of grave robbers, the soul was dragged away by a dirty thing. In fact, it was the defense mechanism of the body activated after a sudden shock. At this time, the person seemed to be dumbfounded and did not respond to anything.

In such a situation, one could not pat them directly. Instead, one had to smear the blood of the rooster or a black dog on one's hand, and then pat the person's shoulder and head three times. It was said that this was to make the flames on the person's head and shoulders burn even more vigorously to ward off evil spirits.

Black dog blood was a must for almost every grave robber, and Wen Le was no exception. When he saw his friend's appearance, he quickly took out the black dog blood from his bag and patted him in the same way as before. Sure enough, just as he finished the third pat… His friend immediately woke up.

When he saw the female mummy in his arms, he shouted and threw the female mummy into Wen Le's arms. Wen Le was also shocked. When the female desiccated corpse approached him, his mind went blank. He instinctively pushed the female desiccated corpse to the ground.

Because he was too strong and the female desiccated corpse was too fragile, she fell to the ground and broke into pieces with his push.

The moment the female desiccated corpse broke into pieces, the candle that was burning well suddenly began to jump. The bright yellow flame also began to turn blue. There was no wind in the tomb, but the candle seemed to be blown by the wind, and several times it almost went out.
