She amazed the world after the divorce

Chapter 3324 Shen Tianyu 724

The voice, plaintive and sorrowful, faintly drifted from the southeast.

It sounded like a woman's weeping, or perhaps music, but unlike the sounds of modern instruments. It was as if it were being played on an ancient zither, carrying the scent of rust and the marks of time.

Shen Tianyu followed the sound.

Knowing that Qin Heng was no ordinary man and that his death was not imminent, he did not shout out, but silently went to search.

The terrain here was complex, and after some effort, Shen Tianyu finally found the source of the sound.

In a rather secluded and shady ancient tomb.

The tomb was located on a cliff, but Shen Tianyu, who knew light-footed kung fu, wasn't afraid.

He used his lightness skill to circle the ancient tomb.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the tomb had three holes dug by tomb raiders.

The tunnel was dug very well hidden.

Shen Tianyu had never robbed a tomb before and didn't know much about such things. He didn't know if the tomb was dug well, but he knew that if there was a tomb-raiding hole, the things inside the tomb would probably have been stolen.

The guqin is quite expensive.

His mother, Su Xingyan, restores ancient paintings, and his father, Shen Ke, runs an antique business, so he has some knowledge of antiques.

The "Flying Waterfall in a Row" guqin, made by Zhu Quan, Prince Ningxian in the early Ming Dynasty, once fetched a high price of over 40 million yuan at auction, while the "Nine Heavens Ring Pendant" Fuxi-style guqin from the Tang Dynasty is valued at 400 million yuan.

If tomb raiders entered this ancient tomb, there's no reason for them to leave the guqin behind instead of taking other treasures.

Unless the tomb raiders died in this ancient tomb.

Suddenly sensing the presence of a stranger in the distance behind him, Shen Tianyu turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

A figure in the distance peeked out furtively from behind a tree and looked this way.

Shen Tianyu looked over from afar.

He had good eyesight and could see that it was a young man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a thin and bony frame, a pointed head, and a timid and sleazy appearance.

This must be the young tomb raider that Sheng Po was talking about.

Shen Tianyu said, "Are you the only one left out of the three?"

Judging from his tone, he knew something was going on. The young man asked timidly, "Who are you?"

Shen Tianyu said, "Shen Tianyu."

Upon hearing Shen Tianyu's name, a hint of joy flashed in the young man's eyes, as if he had seen a savior.

He ran out from behind the tree.

Because he was running too fast and was scared, he stumbled and almost fell several times.

Seeing that he was having trouble running, Shen Tianyu flashed and appeared in front of him.

The young tomb raider was so surprised that his mouth dropped open. This man's lightness skill was even better than Sheng Po's.

Shen Tianyu looked down at him condescendingly, "What's your name? Where did Qin Heng go?"

The man raised his hand and scratched his pointed head, saying, "My surname is Zang, and they all call me Pointed Head. You can call me Pointed Head too. Heng Wang, he and my father went down to the tomb."

Shen Tianyu's brows furrowed slightly. "How long have you been down there?"

Zang Jiantou frowned and thought, "They've been down there for a while. Not long after they went down, the sound of a zither came from the tomb, and it sounded like a woman crying. I didn't dare go down and called out to them, but no one answered."

Fearing Shen Tianyu's wrath, he took a few steps back, carefully observing his expression, and said, "This isn't our fault. My father didn't want to go down. A few years ago, we explored this tomb, and everyone who went down died. My father was lucky to survive. It was Prince Heng who insisted on going down and promised us a large sum of money. He offered too much, and my father was tempted. Prince Heng said that if he couldn't come back up, he would ask his father for the money."

His voice lowered, but his attitude became cautious. "Young Master Shen, could you take me to his father to ask for the money after dawn?"

Shen Tianyu opened his mouth, "How much?"

Zang Jiantou raised his right hand and made a gesture, "Sixty million."

Shen Tianyu thought to himself, this is in line with Qin Heng's usual style.

You brat, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

Never mind, he's not the same Qin Heng anymore.

Zang Jiantou then cautiously asked, "If Heng Wang doesn't come up, will his father beat me? Will he still give me the money?"

Shen Tianyu pursed his lips and remained silent.

If Qin Heng doesn't come up, Qin Lu and Qin Ye will probably go crazy.

The Qin family only had one son.

Zang Jiantou raised his right hand and slowly extended his index and middle fingers. "If all else fails, twenty or thirty million will do. My father's life is also a life. If it weren't for Prince Heng insisting on going down into the tomb, my father wouldn't have been in this situation."

Shen Tianyu raised his chin slightly, "You lead the way, and I'll give you another 60 million. If Qin Heng disappears, you won't get even 60 million, let alone 60 million."

Zang Jiantou was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he shook his head like a rattle drum.

He kept saying, "I won't go down, I won't go down! This tomb is too strange. Last time I was able to escape because I didn't go too deep. My father was able to escape because he was lucky, but everyone else died inside. After that incident, my father and I changed our professions. No matter how much you offer, I don't dare to go down. I may have the life to earn this money, but I may not have the life to spend it."

Shen Tianyu said, "I will not let you die."

Zang Jiantou didn't believe it.

Shen Tianyu found him annoying for being so long-winded.

He turned around and flashed away.

Zang Jiantou only saw a white light before his eyes, and when he looked for Shen Tianyu again, he was nowhere to be found.

Zang Jiantou raised his hand to rub his eyes and called out, "Young Master Shen? Young Master Shen?"

No one responded to him.

Zang Jiantou muttered to himself, "Is this really a ghost? No matter how good a person's lightness skill is, it can't be this good, right?"

Shen Tianyu had already entered the ancient tomb through the narrow hole.

It was pitch black here, even cooler than outside.

A strong, indescribable stench of decay wafted over me; it was very unpleasant.

He couldn't help but frown.

His eyesight is worse than average, but not as clear as during the day.

He turned on the flashlight that came with his phone.

This is neither the main burial chamber nor a side chamber; it looks more like a passageway, long and gloomy.

Shen Tianyu looked around and called out, "Qin Heng, Qin Heng, answer if you hear me."

He shouted several times.

No one responded.

The guqin was still playing, mournful and plaintive, as if weeping and lamenting, carrying a heart-wrenching sorrow.

Hearing this noise in the pitch-black ancient tomb in the middle of the night was extremely eerie.

Shen Tianyu didn't think Qin Heng would have the refined taste to play the zither in a tomb.

Based on the dynasty in which this ancient tomb was built, people of that era should not have been able to produce electronic keyboards.

That old folks probably can't play the zither, and even if they could, they wouldn't have the guts to play it.

Who is playing the piano?

Shen Tianyu kept a high level of vigilance as he took a step forward.

Upon closer inspection, the passageway is deep and long. Given its scale, it must have been the burial place of someone who, even if not an emperor, was a marquis, minister, or wealthy gentry.

After walking deeper for about three or four minutes, Shen Tianyu accidentally stepped on some mechanism and suddenly heard the clanging of crossbow bolts.

Countless sharp arrows shot in from all directions!

Shen Tianyu moved with lightning speed, dodging left and right, avoiding each attack.

The crossbows fired continuously for a minute or two before stopping, leaving a dense layer of ancient arrows on the ground.

Shen Tianyu stopped, and faintly smelled the scent of death.

He looked around and his gaze fell on a filthy skeleton in the corner.

He's turned into bones; he's been dead for many years, not Qin Heng.

Shen Tianyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He continued walking inside.

To avoid accidentally triggering the mechanism again, he walked very slowly this time.

After walking deeper for about three to five minutes, the mournful sound of the guqin abruptly stopped.

A somber voice drifted out from within, "You've finally arrived. I've waited for you for almost two thousand years. The wait has been so agonizing!"
