Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 184: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 66

Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen stood side by side, staring at the seemingly ordinary wooden door in front of them.

The wooden door is carved with complex patterns and contains four hidden mechanisms.

The two smiled at each other, with a tacit understanding between them.

Wu Xie gently touched the patterns on the door, and his finger paused at one point. Seeing this, Xie Yuchen quickly applied corresponding force to the other three mechanisms.

With a "click" sound, the mechanism was successfully triggered, and the wooden door slowly opened inward, revealing a dark passage leading to the depths.

Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen looked at each other, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.

They walked into the house cautiously, only to find that the light inside was not dim, but instead there was a warm and peaceful feeling.

In the center of the room, a man was lying on a large bed. It was the familiar Fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang seemed to be sleeping soundly, his breathing was steady and deep.

Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen tiptoed to the bedside and carefully observed Fatty Wang's condition.

At this moment, Fatty Wang suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen in front of him. He was stunned at first, then he showed a simple smile.

He sat up, touched the bed beneath him, and said in surprise.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that Fatty Wang would be treated like this. This Simmons mattress is so comfortable to lie on!"

Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen were both amused by Fatty Wang's reaction, and the tension in their hearts was slightly relieved.

They began to carefully observe the layout and size of the house and found that it seemed to be the residence of a senior official.

In a corner of the room, there is a large desk with some documents and an exquisite clock on it.

Wu Xie walked to the desk and looked at the clock carefully.

He always felt that the location of the clock was a little strange, and it didn't seem to belong in this room.

He reached out to pick up the watch and take a closer look, but was stopped by Fatty Wang.

"Wu Xie, please stop messing around," Fatty Wang said with a smile, "Don't move anything in this room, or you'll get into trouble."

Wu Xie felt a little embarrassed by Fatty Wang’s words. He touched his nose and said self-deprecatingly.

"I'm just curious. I always feel that there's something wrong with this clock."

"Oh, stop thinking about it," Fatty Wang waved his hand, "Let's look for any clues first and don't waste time on these trivial matters."

Then Wu Xie came to Xie Yuchen, and soon their attention was attracted by a whole stone wall in front of them.

The two men approached the stone wall cautiously, searching for clues on it with the light of flashlights.

After a while of searching, they finally found a protruding stone in a corner of the stone wall, which seemed to be the switch to open the secret room.

Xie Yuchen took a deep breath and pressed down the stone hard.

With a "click" sound, the stone wall slowly opened inward, revealing the entrance to a deep secret room.

The two smiled at each other, and stepped into the secret room with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation.

The room was cold and damp, and the air was filled with an indescribable strange smell.

Their attention was soon drawn to a coffin in the center of the secret room.

The coffin looked very old, with intricate carvings on it, exuding a mysterious aura.

"This should be Commander Zhang's coffin." Wu Xie said in a low voice, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Let's open it and take a look." Fatty Wang suggested, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

Xie Yuchen also nodded to show his agreement.

Although Wu Xie was a little hesitant, he had no choice but to compromise when he saw that both of them were so determined.

They carefully opened the coffin lid, and a stale smell hit them.

However, when they saw the scene inside the coffin, they were stunned.

The person lying in the coffin was actually a person who looked exactly like Zhang Qiling!

The face was so familiar, yet so strange, as if it had come from another time and space.

Wu Xie's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his eyes. He was about to rush forward to take a closer look, but was stopped by Xie Yuchen and Wang Pangzi.

"Wu Xie, don't be impulsive!" Xie Yuchen shouted in a low voice, "We don't know the situation here yet, don't act rashly."

Wu Xie took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew they needed to stay calm now and not be overwhelmed by the scene before them.

The three of them surrounded the coffin and observed it carefully, trying to find more clues.

However, apart from the face that looked exactly like Zhang Qiling, they did not find any valuable information.

"What on earth is going on?" Wu Xie muttered to himself, "Does Zhang Qiling have a twin brother?"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the diary he had just found. There might be clues in it. He took out the diary and began to read it carefully.

The person lying in the coffin in front of him was the once powerful Commander Zhang, whose full name was Zhang Bushun. He was a fierce general under the command of Marshal Zhang Gaoyuan. Because of his bravery and fighting skills, he was highly regarded by the Marshal.

The relationship between Zhang Bushun and Zhang Gaoyuan is even more special. He is Zhang Gaoyuan's brother-in-law. The two are both monarch and subject, and relatives.

In that turbulent era, military pay was scarce. In order to raise funds, Zhang Gaoyuan ordered Zhang Bushun to dig ancient tombs and search for treasures to solve the urgent problem.

Dou Cheng, a young man who had been imprisoned, was rescued by Zhang Bushun during a mission.

From then on, Dou Cheng was deeply grateful to Commander Zhang and vowed to be loyal to him until death.

He followed Zhang Bushun in his battles, going through many ups and downs, and the friendship between the two grew increasingly deep.

One day, Zhang Bushun and Dou Cheng were walking together on a busy street. Suddenly, a group of assassins came from all directions, intending to assassinate Commander Zhang.

The two men remained fearless in the face of danger and fought hard.

After a fierce battle, the assassins were repelled one by one.

However, during this battle, Zhang Bushun discovered a shocking fact.

Among those who assassinated him, there was actually a child.

Looking at the shivering child, Zhang Bushun felt an inexplicable compassion in his heart.

He knew very well that the child was just a tool being used and not the real murderer.

However, in that world where the strong prey on the weak, kindness often cannot change the cruel reality.

In the end, the child was brutally murdered by Zhang Gaoyuan's men.

There are many records about Zhang Bushun in the diary.

Zhang Bushun, the name alone sounds like it reveals a unique kind of arrogance and tenacity.

He was naturally deeply averse to treasure hunting, believing it to be nothing more than a manifestation of people's greed and a disrespect for nature and history.

However, fate always seemed to like playing jokes on him, and his life trajectory happened to be closely linked to treasure hunting.

All this stems from Marshal Zhang’s kindness to him.

Many years ago, when Zhang Bushun was still a young student, he encountered an unprovoked provocation from an officer in a teahouse.

At that time, he was young and energetic, but weak and powerless. Faced with the officers' arrogance and unreasonableness, he had almost no way to do anything.

Just when he felt despair, Marshal Zhang appeared like a god sent from heaven. He not only rescued him, but also taught the officer a lesson.

Afterwards, Marshal Zhang accidentally saw the notebook that Zhang Bushun carried with him, which recorded his unique insights into history, culture, and nature.

Marshal Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw the extraordinary qualities of Zhang Bushun and determined that he was a rare talent.

So he told Zhang Bushun his name and invited him to come to him if he was interested in the future.
