SBCEJM -Chapter 160 The All-Purpose Underpants of Monk Tongtian! The Ultimate Tunnel-Digging Gadget Revealed

Tongtian was sneaking around inside the prison cell, glancing left and right like a thief.

After confirming that no jailers were nearby, he suddenly reached his hand toward… his backside.

From inside his underpants, he pulled out a pile of bizarre objects.

Iron awls, small hammers, metal chopsticks, and all kinds of unidentifiable scrap tools.

Clang! Clang! Clatter—

They scattered all over the ground.

Deep Tong was stunned. “Senior brother, are your underpants a magic storage bag? How do you have everything in there?”

You Zheng swallowed hard and pointed at a particularly long iron rod.

“How did you even fit something that long in there? Doesn’t it hurt?!”

Tongtian’s old face turned red. Embarrassed and furious, he glared at them.

“Shut up! Start digging!”

He distributed the tools to everyone—even Qi Mingde and Chun Tao in the neighboring cell weren’t left out.

He looked every bit like the commander of an escape operation.

“If we don’t dig, we’re all dead!” Tongtian threatened.

Qi Mingde took the iron awl with a mournful expression.

“I’m a divine doctor who steals children… how did I end up digging tunnels? This isn’t my specialty at all!”

Chun Tao was on the verge of tears as she looked at the small shovel in her hands.

“I’m just a wet nurse! I only know how to feed babies—I can’t do manual labor!”

Without another word, Tongtian began directing this ragtag group to dig the tunnel.

Those crude tools in his hands were used with surprising skill—he clearly knew what he was doing.

Late Night, Feng Residence

【Host! Big gossip! Huge gossip!】

The system shouted excitedly:

【Those fake monks are trying to break out of prison! And the scene is ridiculously funny! Start the livestream!】

Feng Zhaoxuan immediately closed her novel and opened the livestream with great interest.

The moment she saw Tongtian pulling one item after another out from under his backside, she nearly spat out laughing.

【What the heck! Is this monk’s underwear a trash collection station? Anything and everything goes in there!】

【Hahaha! Tongtian’s “crotch pouch” is way too big!】

She watched their absurd escape attempt and laughed so hard her stomach hurt—eventually she fell asleep watching it.

The sound of digging became the perfect lullaby.

A Few Days Later, Morning Court

Feng Zhaoxuan suddenly remembered this matter and quietly turned on the livestream again to check progress.

The officials, upon seeing the stream open, all appeared to be listening seriously to court affairs—but in reality, their attention was entirely on the video.

When they saw a group of monks digging tunnels with their butts sticking out, they were completely stunned.

Too… too eye-burning!

Xiao Juechen had already received prior reports. In order to let the Grand Commander enjoy the show, he had specifically ordered the jailers not to interfere.

“Let them dig. I’d like to see what they can dig up,” the Emperor said calmly.

On the screen, the escape operation was in full swing.

Yuan Tong dug and dug… and somehow fell asleep inside the tunnel.

His snoring echoed through the passage like thunder, shaking the whole tunnel like a storm!

Tongtian, furious, stomped his feet and pulled out two more tools from his underpants.

He stuffed them directly into Yuan Tong’s nostrils.

【Hahaha! Even jail tools are being used this way! These monks are insane!】

【Host, look at Yuan Tong’s face—he looks like a pufferfish holding his breath!】

The officials were trying so hard not to laugh that their faces were turning red and veins were popping.

The Crown Prince Xiao Mingxuan’s shoulders trembled violently as he struggled to hold in his laughter.

The Third Princess was seeing something like this for the first time and was laughing until tears came out, thinking court life was unexpectedly quite entertaining.

Meanwhile, another tunnel went wrong.

You Zheng completely lost his sense of direction and accidentally dug straight into Qi Mingde and Chun Tao’s section.

The three of them ended up crammed together in a narrow underground passage.

“Ow! Old Qi, you stepped on my foot!”

You Zheng crawled out of the tunnel, covered in dirt and looking miserable.

Qi Mingde looked like he was about to cry.

“What kind of digging is this? How did you dig into our tunnel?!”

Elsewhere, Zhong Tong’s hands were already bleeding from digging.

Blood mixed with mud—painful just to look at.

He suddenly burst into tears.

“I’m done! Let me die! I quit!”

His wailing startled even Yuan Tong awake.

“What’s going on?! An earthquake?!” he poked his head out groggily.

Tongtian panicked.

“Stop crying! If the guards hear us, we’re finished!”

Deep Tong hurried over to comfort him.

“Junior brother Zhong Tong, hang in there! We’re almost through!”

You Zheng also climbed out to help.

“Yes! Yes! Freedom is just ahead! Freedom is calling us!”

After much coaxing from everyone, they finally managed to calm Zhong Tong down.

【This isn’t an escape… it’s a kindergarten teacher managing toddlers doing homework!】

Feng Zhaoxuan laughed so hard her stomach hurt.

【Host, Tongtian looks like a babysitter taking care of six mentally challenged children! This is too hard for him!】

Even Emperor Xiao Juechen, multitasking between watching the stream and court reports, was struggling to suppress his laughter.

A dignified emperor could not laugh in court—what a torture.

After several days and nights of digging, their hands were blistered and bleeding.

Finally, Tongtian shouted excitedly:

“We’re through! We’re through!”

Everyone cheered and scrambled toward the exit, eager to taste the air of freedom.

Even the watching officials were slightly moved.

They… they really endured a lot.

These foolish criminals actually had some perseverance.

But the moment they emerged—

A foul, overwhelming stench hit them in the face, followed by a cascade of yellow-brown liquid pouring down onto their heads.

They had dug straight into the prison latrine.

And right at that moment, a jailer was doing his business above them—perfect timing.

“Aaaaaahhh!!!”

Screams erupted one after another.

All seven monks, plus Qi Mingde and Chun Tao, were baptized in a most “fragrant” way.

【OH MY GOD—I can’t look at this anymore!】

Feng Zhaoxuan was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes.

【System, is this an escape or a dig-into-a-sewer operation?! Too tragic!】

【Host, look at Tongtian’s face—it’s green like jade! He’ll definitely have psychological trauma for life!】

The officials were also struggling to hold back laughter.

Minister Yu from the Military Department thought: These fools!

Minister Wu of the Imperial Academy silently reflected: Truly karma in action… but also hilariously tragic.

Emperor Xiao Juechen glanced at Steward Wang Dehai.

“Time to close the net.”

Just as the nine of them crawled out of the latrine, reeking beyond description, a group of jailers “coincidentally” appeared.

“Oh? Aren’t these esteemed monks? Practicing rituals in the latrine?”

The leading jailer smirked while holding sunflower seed shells—clearly he had been watching for a long time.

【LOL! These jailers definitely timed this on purpose!】

【Host, they’ve been eating sunflower seeds while watching the whole escape!】

【So they were basically slacking off at work?!】

Tongtian and the others were completely miserable, covered in filth.

They had no trace of their former “holy monk” dignity left.

They were thrown into a different prison cell.

This one was even more secure—solid bricks on all sides, not even a mouse hole. Digging out again was impossible.

【Host! Huge breaking news! Another big reveal!】

The system suddenly became excited.

【Tongtian’s true identity—he’s a famous tomb robber!】

【And he even has a treasure map from a former dynasty! It’s worth a fortune!】

The entire court instantly became alert.

Emperor Xiao Juechen’s eyes lit up.

A treasure from the previous dynasty? That was exactly what they needed!

The treasury was running low on funds!

【System, is this real?! Don’t fool me!】

【Host, absolutely true! The treasure map is on him! I scanned it!】

【Where?! Stop keeping me in suspense!】 Feng Zhaoxuan became excited.

【Inside his undershirt! Worn close to his body!】

【His lover’s undershirt?!】

【No no no! His own!】

Everyone: “……”

The Emperor’s mouth twitched.

A grown man wearing an undershirt?

This mental image was too much.

Feng Zhaoxuan was equally speechless.

【Even more explosive—the undershirt is handmade by him, pink in color, embroidered with little flowers. Very delicate!】

The entire court froze collectively.

A burly monk… wearing a pink floral undershirt?

This impact was even stronger than the entire escape incident.

【System… tonight let’s go steal Tongtian’s pink undershirt.】
