Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

The grooves on the coffin also began to rotate.

When Jin Suanpan and Partridge Whistle saw that the writing brush was actually used to open the coffin, they were speechless with shock!

Was this also something Li Xiaohu had anticipated?

Who would have thought.

How could two seemingly unrelated items in two tombs so far apart have such an important connection?

Come back to your senses.

Everyone watched Li Xiaohu's hand movements.

My mood started to change with his every move.

"Ka...ka...ka..."

The brush is about to complete one full rotation.

After being silent for half a day, the stone coffin began to faintly emit sounds.

"Click-clack-clack-clack..."

After completing one lap.

The stone coffin suddenly made a crisp "crack" sound!

This startled everyone who was completely focused.

Everyone was looking forward to what significant changes would occur to the stone sarcophagus.

For example, a gap that can be opened and closed is exposed.

however.

The stone coffin still stands quietly in the same place, without moving an inch, and without revealing a single crack.

It's just above the circular groove.

Suddenly, "thud!"

It opened a very small opening.

Then a golden square card slowly emerged from it.

The gold medal was small, only about half the size of a palm, and its design resembled a waist badge from the Tang Dynasty.

Both sides are engraved with dense characters.

But the characters are strange.

It doesn't resemble the script of the Tang Dynasty, nor does it resemble the script of any other dynasty.

Jin Suanpan exclaimed curiously, "Eh?" and asked, "What dynasty's ancient script is engraved on this gold plaque?"

"How come I don't remember this at all?"

Partridge Whistle's keen observation.

Some of the characters on the gold medal felt somewhat familiar.

He hurriedly took out the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book to compare!

Some of the characters on the gold medal were discovered to be symbols from the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book!

Partridge Whistle immediately became excited.

Pointing to the gold medal, he excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Little Tiger!"

"What's engraved here might be the one you're talking about!..."

"That method Li Chunfeng used to decipher the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, right?!"

"It should be." A smile appeared on Li Xiaohu's face.

"That's great!" The old foreigner and Hua Ling smiled at each other.

"This trip was definitely worthwhile!"

Hua Ling asked Li Xiaohu eagerly, "Brother Xiaohu."

"Can you read the text above?"

Li Xiaohu gave an awkward smile and frankly replied, "I don't understand."

"Although the inscription on it is a reference table after deciphering, the deciphered text is still a very obscure and difficult-to-understand script."

"No no no..."

Li Xiaohu suddenly contradicted himself.

"Rather than describing the characters as a script, it's more like a strange pronunciation."

"If you can master this pronunciation, you should be able to understand what's on the gold medal."

"Huh?" The three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, were instantly deflated upon hearing this.

Originally, all they needed to do was decipher the ancient characters on the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

Now we need to crack an additional, strange pronunciation?

Did they actually find a way to decipher it?

Or is it unnecessary?

Partridge Whistle tentatively asked, "Brother Little Tiger?"

"Can you understand what's on it?"

Li Xiaohu gave an awkward smile and honestly shook his head.

"This pronunciation is extremely obscure and difficult to understand; it was entirely created by Li Chunfeng himself."

"I'm afraid that apart from himself, or those who see the clues he left behind, no one can understand it."

Partridge Whistle suddenly felt a little irritated after hearing this.

"Even if we find this so-called Dragon Bone Heavenly Book Comparison Table, what's the point?"

"It's just adding more trouble for myself!"

Li Xiaohu smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Partridge Whistle, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Partridge Whistle instantly sensed a turn of events and hurriedly asked, "Then tell me quickly!"

Li Xiaohu gestured for him to calm down, and then continued, "As I said before."

"Besides himself, only those who can see the clues he left behind can understand it."

“So…” Partridge Whistle understood the key point.

"Brother Xiaohu, did you spot the clues he left behind?"

Li Xiaohu nodded proudly and replied, "That's right."

"The clues left by Li Chunfeng are actually quite obvious."

"Since we entered Li Chunfeng's tomb."

"Every obstacle or challenge we encounter can ultimately be solved using the principles of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams."

"The 'I Ching and Bagua' are also reflected everywhere in Li Chunfeng's tomb."

He then drew everyone's attention back to the gold medal, saying, "This gold medal also has one."

"The text above is arranged in four rows, with a barely perceptible pattern on each of the four sides."

"If you look closely, you'll find that this is actually the Four Symbols."

The golden abacus follows one step at a time.

It turned out to be the "Four Symbols Diagram"!

Asking for flowers

That is, the patterns of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise!

"So that's what I mean!" Jin Suanpan quickly understood what Li Xiaohu meant.

"To unlock the secret of this gold medal, we need to start with the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams?"

Li Xiaohu nodded and said with certainty, "Senior brother guessed correctly."

"Only those who are proficient in the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams can possibly understand the characters on this gold medal."

He just finished speaking.

Jin Suanpan then noticed that everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Especially the three brothers, Partridge Whistle.

Those enthusiastic gazes made him start to feel pressured.

Jin Suanpan chuckled awkwardly and said, "I can only do my best; I can't guarantee that I can completely decipher the contents."

Partridge Whistle said gratefully, "It's nothing!"
