"Judging from this, the owner of this 790-year-old tomb must have been someone of extraordinary status."
Hu Bayi frowned slightly, a look of doubt on his face: "How come there are three coffins?"
"And one of them is even suspended in mid-air. Could there be three tomb owners here?"
While admiring the funerary artifacts, Fatty Wang casually remarked:
"Who cares what they are? We'll just take the funerary objects."
Hearing what Fatty Wang said, Hu Bayi couldn't help but roll his eyes and said speechlessly:
"Fatty, have you forgotten why we came here?"
"We're not here to rob tombs, but to find the Muchen Pearl."
Fatty Wang was taken aback, then pointed to one of the coffins and said:
"Isn't the Muchen Pearl inside the coffin?"
"I'll open it now and see what's inside."
Hu Bayi rolled his eyes: "I advise you not to do anything reckless. What? Have you forgotten about those liquids from before?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately became a bit timid and lowered his raised hand.
He scratched his head and laughed somewhat awkwardly:
"Well, I think Lao Hu is right. Better safe than sorry. Let's be careful."
He paused here, and as if to save face, added:
"Of course, I'm not afraid."
"After all, you should know how formidable I am back then; I just didn't want to alert the enemy."
Hu Bayi looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, Fatty is the most majestic."
After the laughter subsided, Hu Bayi asked seriously, "Boss, what's going on with these coffins? How come there are three of them?"
Lin Yang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "This should be the Three-Life Coffin."
"The Three-Life Coffin?" Shirley Yang and the other two were hearing this term for the first time, and their faces showed expressions of confusion.
Lin Yang nodded: "That's right. The Three-Life Coffin represents the past life, present life, and future life. It is a special burial form designed by ancient emperors in pursuit of immortality."
"It is said that only those who can possess the power of three lifetimes at the same time have the possibility of becoming immortals."
Shirley Yang and the other two were shocked, their pupils dilating in disbelief.
They never expected that the three coffins contained the remains of the Prince Xian.
Moreover, one can even become an immortal.
"Boss, is this Prince Xian able to travel through time and space at will?"
Hu Bayi was the first to break the silence:
“I can understand the remains of the past, and the present ones are from the scene, but the future…”
He shook his head, indicating his incomprehension. Shirley Yang chimed in:
"How could we possibly obtain the remains of the future? This is simply absurd."
Lin Yang smiled slightly and explained, "If someone has the ability, they can indeed go back to the past, or even to the future."
He paused, then continued, "In fact, Pawnshop No. 8 can meet anyone's needs, including going back to the past or to the future."
Shirley Yang believed Lin Yang's words without a doubt, and she nodded to show her understanding.
Wang Pangzi then came to his senses. He stroked his chin thoughtfully and said:
"So that means the King of Xian has found a way to go to the future?"
Lin Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know. If we really find it, we might be able to make him an immortal by using the remains of his three lifetimes."
His tone revealed a hint of seriousness:
"After all, the past and the future are the most difficult to deal with. The combined power of the three generations is not to be underestimated."
A glint of light flashed in Hu Bayi's eyes upon hearing Lin Yang's words.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Boss, why don't we open the coffin and take a look? Maybe there are some clues inside."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately perked up. "Yes, yes, let's open it and see. Maybe there's some treasure inside."
Shirley Yang was also somewhat tempted. She looked at Lin Yang, waiting for his decision.
Lin Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, let's open it and take a look."
As Lin Yang issued his order.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang walked towards one of the coffins.
The two decided to open the first one and take a look.
However, I thought that what was inside might be the remains of the King of Xian, whether in the past, present, or future.
They seemed very cautious.
After all, nobody knows what's inside.
"Old Hu, are you scared?" Fatty Wang looked at Hu Bayi.
"Afraid? Of course not." Hu Bayi said, "Fatty, you're not scared, are you?"
"Afraid?" Fatty Wang said, "Even I, Fatty, don't know what fear is."
He said, "You wait here, I'll push the coffin open right now."
As they were talking, someone stepped forward and started pushing.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi also stepped forward to help.
As the two exerted their strength.
The coffin lid was suddenly pushed open.
The bronze coffin lid crashed heavily to the ground.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang both crowded around.
To everyone's surprise, the coffin was completely empty.
"There's nothing there?" Fatty Wang asked, puzzled.
Hu Bayi also said, "That shouldn't be the case. The boss is never wrong."
At this moment, Lin Yang said, "You can move on to the next one."
Hearing Lin Yang say this, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang then walked towards the other one.
Because one of them is suspended high in the air.
So the two of them went to another bronze coffin.
With another sound, it immediately went empty again.
Finally, everyone's gaze fell upon the hanging bronze coffin.
Chapter 136: A Gray and Vague Space
Of the three coffins, only the last bronze coffin remains.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang stood in mid-air, exchanged a glance, and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
This final coffin represents their last hope.
"Bayi, do you think there might be something in this last coffin?" Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask.
Hu Bayi did not answer, but stared intently at the bronze coffin.
He took a deep breath, then reached out and carefully opened the coffin.
However, when they saw the inside of the coffin, they were all stunned. It was still empty.
"How could this be?" Fatty Wang exclaimed in disbelief.
"All three coffins are empty? That's impossible!"
Hu Bayi frowned as he looked at the empty coffin, his heart filled with doubt.
According to the boss, the Three Lives Coffin should contain the remains of the past, present, and future lives, but why is there nothing there?
Just then, Lin Yang's voice suddenly rang out: "There's another possibility."
Shirley Yang immediately looked at him and asked, "What's possible?"
Lin Yang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "That means the owner of the Three-Life Coffin has succeeded."
"He has become an immortal, which means he has been resurrected."
"Resurrected?" Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang's eyes widened. "How is that possible?"
"Why not?" Lin Yang retorted.
"Think about it, what if the owner of the Three-Life Coffin has really become an immortal?"
"Then his remains will naturally no longer exist in this coffin of three generations."
"Because he has transcended the boundaries of life and death and become a new being."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang both fell into deep thought.
If the owner of the Three-Life Coffin has truly become an immortal, then what will they face next?
It's probably more than just an ordinary zongzi.
"The so-called immortals, to put it bluntly, are alternative beings, things that live forever."
"It's not much different from the giant rice dumpling you're talking about."
"It's just that you have more independent thoughts," Lin Yang explained with a smile. "So you don't need to be afraid."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately perked up: "Boss, if you ask me, we don't need to be afraid at all!"
"With you here, what are we afraid of? Besides, we're not pushovers!"
