Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

About the identity of the Queen of Jingjue.

Everyone had been guessing all the way before coming.

But it was not until now that I saw with my own eyes the ugly, snake-like, hideous face in the coffin.

They only realized it later.

Perhaps, all the records about her are false.

What the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions.

Daughter of the gods.

The supreme queen who commands the people of thirty-six countries.

There are often rumors in the countryside about snakes and foxes becoming spirits and swallowing up people's yang energy.

However, they have seen countless monsters in their travels, but have never encountered a real monster that can transform into a human form. At most, they have encountered something like the old lady Bai at the ancient raccoon monument, who uses the magic of round light to deceive outsiders.

But at this moment...

This was the first time they doubted it.

Perhaps there really are great monsters in this world that have transformed into human forms.

Just like the old turtle in the Nanpan River, after countless years, it has reached the end of its realm, and it seems reasonable that it has transformed into a human.

There is also Zhou Jiao from Fuxian Lake.

The Jiaolong species turns into a dragon when walking on water, so what happens after it becomes a dragon?

Perhaps so too.

The only thing that made them feel suspicious was that if the queen was really a snake demon transformed into a human, her own strength must have reached an unimaginable level. How could she die from a mere poison?

It’s Chen Yulou himself.

Now it is just the golden elixir.

But it is already possible to ignore most of the mirages and poisonous fogs.

Even if it is swallowed accidentally, it will disappear in an instant after being refined in the furnace deep in the Dantian.

What's more, those black snakes, which are regarded as guardian gods by the people in the Ghost Cave, are already the most poisonous creatures in the world.

So he really couldn't understand.

What kind of poison is there in the world that can kill a transformed monster overnight?

"Fuck, this is the most beautiful woman in the Western Region?"

"How many different tastes does one have to have to say something like this against one's conscience?"

"No, there are no women in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions. How could such an old witch be deified?"

"Is this appearance really related to the word beauty?"

Opening the coffin caused quite a stir.

All the tomb raiders around saw it clearly.

They were already itching to find the secret, and Yang Fang's comment that the snake was a spirit made them even more eager. They didn't even bother to pick up the gold and silver on the ground. Instead, they tiptoed and looked under the coffin in the light of the fire.

Until I saw that haggard face, like tree bark and snake scales.

The group felt a chill rushing straight to their heads.

How can this person be the most beautiful queen in the world?

It's clearly a snake demon.

Just one look at it is chilling.

"It's not a demon..."

There was a lot of debate.

Suddenly.

A calm voice sounded.

The noise suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop. All eyes subconsciously fell on the tall and thin figure.

"How...how could this happen?"

"Manager Chen, are you seeing things? This ghost-like creature is not a demon. Could it be a human?"

Yang Fang's face was full of disbelief.

After being stunned for a long while, he exclaimed in surprise.

Although Kunlun and the old foreigner next to them did not say anything, the expressions on their faces said it all.

"Have you all forgotten about the Laoxiongling Charity House and the Mouse Second Aunt?"

Mouse's second aunt?

Suddenly I heard this slightly ancient name.

Kunlun and the old foreigner's eyes jumped.

The female corpse that was found behind the charity cemetery that day, which looked like a wild mouse, was actually even worse than the one in front of her now. Her facial features were cramped, her nose was pointed, her eyes were small, she had buck teeth and monkey cheeks, and except for the lack of mouse hair, her face looked exactly like a mouse.

"It really is……"

Several people were thoughtful and exclaimed.

In the Eighteen Caves Village of Laoxiongling, there were rumors that the woman was a rat spirit. The rumors were so convincing and serious that the villagers were extremely afraid of her.

But what I saw that day.

Except for the Chenzhou corpse-purifying talisman pasted on the face after death.

Haozi's second aunt is just a poor woman with an ugly appearance.

"No, what are you talking about? Who is Second Aunt Haozi?"

Seeing several people nodded.

Yang Fang, the only one who had never been to Pingshan, was completely confused and had no idea what they were talking about.

The debate was clearly about whether the Queen of Jingjue was a human or a demon, so how come a Second Aunt suddenly appeared?

I saw him scratching his ears and cheeks, looking impatient.

The old foreigner laughed.

He lowered his voice and briefly recounted what had happened that day.

"In other words, this woman is actually the same as her. She is not a great demon in disguise, but is simply born this way?"

Traveled around the world for many years.

The old foreigner had also heard of the Pingshan Tomb.

It is said that from ancient times to the present, countless tomb-robbers have gone there, but no one has actually broken through the mountain ridge, entered the underground palace, and dug out what the Yuan Dynasty barbarian had hidden.

Unexpectedly, such a stunning mausoleum was actually destroyed by the joint efforts of Xiling Banshan.

In comparison, the second aunt Mouse was of no importance to him and was just some rural rumor.

"If it is a demon, there should be some noise when the divine whip is hit."

Chen Yulou gave a reminder.

Hearing this, Yang Fang suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously looked down at the four-sided, seven-section corpse-beating whip in his hand.

As a Taoist magic weapon.

The Divine Whip was once the most precious treasure of a Taoist sect during the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the mountain gate fell into decline and the steel whip was buried in the underground palace, having not seen the light of day for nearly two thousand years until Jin Abacus accidentally entered it and brought it back.

Because it is imbued with Taoist true energy, the magic whip is extremely magical.

Once you sense the evil aura of the dead.

Runes flashed on the whip, giving a warning.

But at this moment...

He held the divine whip tightly in his hand, but there was not much movement.

The runes within the incised facets remain the same.

"It really is."

Just now, my entire attention was attracted by the queen's true appearance.

Yang Fang really didn't pay attention to the changes in the divine whip.

This steel whip has been with him for many years and they have become connected to each other. It has saved him from life-and-death situations countless times.

"That whole fucking mask makes him look so mysterious, but it must be so ugly that he can't be seen in public."

Put away the whip.

Yang Fang curled his lips with a look of disdain.

If he had known earlier, this woman would play tricks on me. She was the daughter of a god, or the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions. But even he didn't expect that just six words could describe a person.

"You kid..."

Seeing him being so venomous and merciless.

The old foreigner couldn't help but remind him.

Yang Fang raised his eyes and glanced at him with a smile.

"Why, have you forgotten what happened before?"

Hearing this, the old foreigner clearly felt several gazes falling on him, especially the one from his senior brother, which made him feel uneasy.

"You can't burn it for her, can you?"

"Why not?"

Yang Fang snorted, "This woman suppressed thirty-six nations, and her hands were stained with countless lives. The people are boiling with resentment. Burning her would be a bargain for her."

"If this had happened a thousand years ago, it would have been a blessing if it hadn't been dug up and mutilated."

There was a hint of youthful indignation in his tone.

But I have to say, what he said was true.

Wu Zixu, who was regarded as the founder of the Xiangling School, spent his entire life defeating the State of Chu. He then dug up the tomb of King Ping of Chu, left his corpse exposed and whipped to avenge his father and brother.

From the prince’s tomb under the ancient well in Gumo Prefecture.

You can also get a glimpse of what happened back then.

If it weren't for the sudden storm that buried the ancient city of Jingjue underground, the first thing the coalition forces would have done after conquering the ancient city would have been to dig out her body.

"Shh!"

Just as the two were arguing.

Chen Yulou's brows suddenly frowned.

He turned around and glanced at the shadow of the cliff in the distance.

Although the cave was noisy, no matter how slight the movement was, it could not escape his detection.

"what's the situation?"

"There won't be any ghosts, right?"

"If you can't fucking talk, just shut up."

Seeing his expression suddenly become serious, everyone in the cave, whether they were arguing or immersed in tomb-robbing, stopped in an instant.

Looking at each other.

He looked around in confusion.

But in their opinion, even with the sky lanterns above their heads and the illumination of torches and lanterns at their sides, they still couldn't see anything unusual, and they couldn't help but lower their voices to discuss.

Not only the bandits from Xiangling.

The same thing happened to Yang Fang and the old foreigner, who were arguing about how to deal with the body of the Queen of Jingjue just a moment ago.

The scale of the cave below is astonishing.

It is also naturally formed.

The cliff walls are either as straight up and down as if cut by a knife, or they are rugged and difficult to climb.

Even though the surrounding firelight was as bright as day, the stone wall was still eerie and dark. The condensed water mist reflected the light back, greatly affecting everyone's vision.

Kunlun didn't know what was going on.

But he was keenly aware of the danger.

He drew out his halberd and silently protected Chen Yulou.

Seeing this, the old foreigner also took off his dragon-shooting bow and swept around with his eyes like a torch.

"Give me fire."

After staring at it for a moment, Chen Yulou stretched out his hand, and Xiao Shiqian was quick to take out a lantern, but before he could hand it over.

In the heavy fog above, a ray of light suddenly broke through the air.

Chen Yulou frowned and looked up subconsciously.

Only on the top of the cliff.

Una held the magic mirror in her hand, and golden light emanated from it, penetrating the thick fog and shining directly onto the stone wall in the distance.

Since she left the village, she kept the mirror with her all day long, but it was not until she entered the ancient city that she finally took it off, allowing people to get a glimpse of the magical mirror.

Even Chen Yulou could only vaguely guess its function.

now……

She finally used the power of the magic mirror for the first time.

I saw a majestic column of light shining directly on the dark side of the stone wall.

The aura was almost extremely yang and strong, like a huge sun. The yin energy floating in the cave instantly melted away and turned into nothingness.

And the stone wall that was motionless before.

At this moment, wherever the light passed, a shrill scream suddenly arose.

In the shadows, it seemed as if there was a large ball of boiling ink, surging back and forth, but when you look closely, you realize that it is not ink or dirty water, but clearly countless black snakes entangled together.

It is about three or four feet long.

The eyes on his head were like black tumors, emitting a cold and deep light.

"God……"

"Are these ghosts endlessly dead? Why are there still so many?"

"No, where did it come from?"

Seeing this, the Xiangling bandits, who were originally puzzled by Chen Yulou's behavior, felt a chill all over their bodies.

The scaly snakes are like black waves.

Crazy creeping.

Anyone who sees it will have their scalp exploded.

but……

The magic mirror was indeed the sacred artifact of the shaman clan. The ferocious and terrifying black snake had no chance to resist. Large pieces of its scales fell off, its body was festered, and black blood was flowing.

Trying desperately to escape from the crack in the cliff.

But it didn't help at all.

As long as they were exposed to light and shadow, the snakes died at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This……"

"Good stuff."

"Taoist magic weapon? No, this kind of power..."

The group was shocked by what they saw.

You know, along the way, even with the help of several of them, the ubiquitous snake tide still caused great trouble to the team.

Once bitten.

Can't even hold out for a moment.

Their whole body will fester and they will die miserably.

Their bodies are covered with scales, making them difficult to kill with ordinary knives and guns. Even snake repellent powders such as realgar have little effect on them.

The only way is to use fire to drive them away.

Now I see that bronze mirror showing its power.

Even though he was just a partridge whistle, his heart couldn't help but pounding.

But after looking at it intently for a long time, with his knowledge, he still couldn't tell whether it was a Taoist magic weapon or a treasure of Tantric Buddhism.

Not long after.

The tide of snakes that emerged from the cracks were either dead or escaped.

Leaving behind a ground full of snake corpses.

The whole cave was filled with a disgusting stench.

"Thank you Miss Una."

Chen Yulou looked up and bowed.

Controlling the magic mirror seemed to consume countless energy and blood. The moment the mirror was put away, Una's face had turned as white as gold paper, and her expression revealed a strong sense of weakness.

I didn't even have the energy to speak.

Just shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, how could Chen Yulou not understand?

He immediately withdrew his gaze, looked at the group of Xiangling bandits around him, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Boost."

"Move the artifacts out first."

He knew very well where those poisonous snakes came from.

Further down from here are the remains of the ancestors of the Zagrama clan, and further down is the ghost cave that the Partridge Whistle brothers have been searching for.

That place.

Except for a few of them.

For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a forbidden place for living people and a place where no life can take place.

From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of taking them with him, as going would only delay their journey.

"Yes, the boss."

Give an order.

Dozens of waiters dared not delay any longer and started working quickly, enduring the fishy smell in the air.

Subsequently.

Holding the rope, they quickly sent basket after basket of funerary objects to the top of the cliff.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this woman..."

Yang Fang gradually calmed down at this time.

He glanced at the female corpse in the coffin and felt that those ghost things came because of her.

It is definitely the source of trouble.

If she is not dealt with, there will probably be endless troubles.

Hearing this, the rest of the people's eyes fell on him, but Chen Yulou did not explain further, he just took the Yin-probing Claw from Yang Fang.

With a somewhat suspicious look.

The claw went around the hideous face of the female corpse and pressed lightly on the only black stone pillow buried in the coffin.

click-

In an instant.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a machine being triggered from under the wooden coffin.

Then, the bottom of the coffin turned inward, revealing a dark, deep, and bottomless crack.

And the female corpse that had been lying flat in the coffin, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, suddenly fell straight down.

"This……"

"Is there a cave inside the coffin?"

The few of them had no time to care about when Chen Yulou discovered the mechanism inside the coffin. They just stared in the direction where the female corpse disappeared, their eyes wide open with disbelief.

The guys around who were still moving funerary objects were so shocked by this scene that they were speechless.

Being on the cliff, I even forgot to continue going up.

Faced with the amazement and astonishment of several people, Chen Yulou simply whispered an order to Kunlun.

"Huo Zhezi."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Kunlun nodded.

Quickly put away the distracting thoughts in your mind.

He took out two tinder sticks from his pocket, polished them, and threw them down along the crack.

The firelight cut through the darkness, gradually illuminating the surroundings.

No one in the group dared to speak, and they all looked down with bated breath.

The crack at the bottom was not very long. In just a moment, the fire starter fell to the bottom of the cave. Amid the flickering light and fire, a square stone chamber slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

Faintly.

There seemed to be two figures sitting cross-legged.

I couldn't see their faces clearly, I could only vaguely make out that they were an old man and a young man, sitting opposite each other from north to south, and between them stood a stone box more than half a meter high.

boom--

Just saw this scene.

Suddenly, a thunder exploded in Partridge Whistle's mind.

An indescribable excitement appeared on his usually calm face.

"Ancestral Cave..."

"It is the burial place of two saints!"
