Chapter 527: Going Against the Grain

Translator: Pika

“He was killed violently…” Zu An had a weird look on his face If this had been ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’, so would have surely been about to pop out

Mi Li pointed at the corpse “Look, there are a total of seven wounds on his body Six of theh, and pelvis have injuries made by both blunt and sharp weapons Some of them have healed, while some haven’t This ”

“Was he a living sacrifice?” Zu An asked They had run into too , so like that was not beyond them

Mi Li shook her head “I don’t think so The people who lived in the ti sacrifices, but such a fate was reserved for enemy captives, and not for their own citizens They would never do such a thing to a general of such stature From his wounds, he probably died on the battlefield, and his corpse was later buried here with the rest of the monarchs”

“Oh…” Her analysis did seem to make a lot of sense to Zu An

“What’s that?” Pei Mian, she had been carefully observing the coffin and its interior, and had suddenly noticed a strange object

Zu An looked in and noticed an artificial hand on the right side of the corpse It seemed to be made out of bronze The hand was nearly identical to a real hand, and even had fingernails on it

There were taotie runes carved onto the back of the hand, as well as other designs, giving an unusual aesthetic

Mi Li said, “This was probably the mortal wound His arm was severed on the battlefield, which caused hih, the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty weren’t able to retrieve his arm from the chaotic battlefield, so they could only make him an artificial one to ensure that his body hole when they buried him”

“An artificial lie look on his face He hadn’t expected things such as artificial limbs to exist in such an ancient period

Pei Mianeneral who died on the battlefield! He is someone worthy of respect”

With their hearts thus moved with admiration, they continued to look around inside the coffins a little olden and jade artifacts, they didn’t find any sign of a jade badge

Zu An was just about to put the lid back on when Mi Li said with surprise, “You’re leaving just like that?”

“What else would I do?” Zu An was confused He didn’t get what she was saying

“You’re not taking any of the treasure with you? You have h space in your Brilliant Glass Bead” Mi Li looked rather aggrieved “How can you come to a place of such treasure but leave empty-handed?”

Zu An shook his head, unmoved by her objection “I’m no tomb raider How can I steal any of these ites that this individual used and treasured while he was still alive?”

“You’re so close- him around She turned her head away and sulked

You have successfully trolled Mi Li for 22… 22… 22…

Pei Mianman also had no interest in any of the items The two of them were of oneissued from behind them Both of them jumped in alarm and spun around

They noticed that the lid of the coffin—which they had firmly closed justjust a crack

Pei Mianman shi+vered “Ah Zu, did you close the lid properly?”

Zu An sed “I did”

Doesn’t that mean that the corpse just ht appeared in their minds, a desiccated hand reached out frorabbed the side of the coffin A chill wind swept through the entire tomb, and the temperature dropped substantially
