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

Borrowing the lantern in the old foreigner's hand.

The flickering flames cast large areas of light and shadow on the slowly flowing underground river.

But the group looked up.

However, he found that there was no sign of damage on the tomb wall on the other side.

There are neither holes nor gaps.

"It's really strange, old foreigner, you go downstream and I'll go to the surface to continue searching and see if Senior Jin Suanpan has found a hole that is slightly weaker."

Partridge Whistle frowned, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

It stands to reason.

Digging a hole from under the Fishbone Temple to here was all in line with the means of stealing such a huge treasure in the mountains, but he absolutely did not believe that a mere rammed earth wall could stop a senior master like Jin Suanpan.

Among the four sects, only Fa Qiu has not appeared in the world for a long time.

In terms of methods and secret techniques, Mojinmen is the best.

This is almost a common consensus among tomb-robbing people.

Even though he was the leader of this generation of mountain movers, the leader of the mountain-moving warriors still stood beside him.

"Yes, senior brother."

The old foreigner nodded.

He left the flint behind and waited until several people had lit all the lanterns before he was ready to turn around.

But before he could even take a step, Yang Fang, who had been silent since entering Dragon Ridge, suddenly spoke up, "I'll go with you."

"Okay."

Although surprised, the old foreigner reacted quickly and nodded in agreement immediately.

soon.

The group of five people split into three groups.

Yang Fang and the old foreigner swam downstream, Kunlun and Partridge Whistle swam upstream, and as for Chen Yulou, he took advantage of his ethereal figure to walk to a high place.

As the sound of staggered footsteps gradually faded away.

The place gradually returned to silence, leaving only the sound of gurgling water.

Until about half a quarter of an hour later.

The group returned to the original place to gather.

"How about it?"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other.

"Weird."

"How could this be?"

"Could it be that Senior Jin Suanpan never went in from the beginning to the end?"

Chen Yulou shook his head. "It's unlikely. Senior has been planning the Longling Tomb for many years and has put a lot of thought into it. How could he give up so easily?"

"What do you mean, Shopkeeper Chen?"

The old foreigner looked at him thoughtfully and asked softly.

“Maybe this isn’t the right route?”

"This is even more impossible. There is only one tunnel and no other roads are seen." Upon hearing this, the old foreigner looked incredulous.

"I think so too... eh?"

Yang Fang subconsciously wanted to say something.

But when his eyes swept through the darkness behind him, he seemed to have noticed something, his face suddenly changed, and without even saying a word, he quickly took a few steps forward and stretched out the lantern in his hand.

"Where's the door?"

He has a very loud voice.

So much so that the sound could be heard from far away in the empty river channel.

"Door?!"

The few people behind him who were still thinking noticed that he was different and surrounded him.

Just under the firelight.

There is a cliff in front.

As for the tunnel they had entered through before, it seemed to have evaporated and disappeared out of thin air.

"How...how could this happen?"

"This is the place before. I definitely won't remember it wrong."

"Could it be a ghost wall?"

Such a big tunnel turned into a stone wall in the blink of an eye. Even though the few people were knowledgeable, they were still confused by this strange situation.

At least until then.

They had never seen anything like this before.

"ghost?"

"What are you thinking, kid? How dare you act so presumptuously in front of two real people?"

"Besides, if it really is that thing, it would be great. We can let it lead the way for us."

Listening to Yang Fang talking to himself.

The old foreigner couldn't help but sneer.

In the past, he might have thought so, but after experiencing the ghost cave, even the ancient gods were suppressed and sealed, let alone a mere ghost?

"Haha, yes."

Yang Fang realized that he had said the wrong thing, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

There is no hesitation at this moment.

He took a half step back, leaving a gap.

Chen Yulou took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and gently placed his five fingers on the stone wall, feeling it quietly.

Seeing this, several people nearby seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously held their breath, staring with wide eyes, observing his every move.

"We are entering the battle."

After just a moment, Chen Yulou withdrew his right hand, with a gleam in his eyes.

"A secret mechanism?"

The old foreigner was horrified.

There was almost no movement along the way, and he didn't even know when he fell into the trap.

He subconsciously grasped the umbrella, and his eyes were as sharp as knives, quietly sweeping around.

But the surroundings were as quiet as ever. Apart from the gurgling water, the only sound was their breathing.

Except for the time in the Queen's coffin when he was influenced by the Yellow Springs Red Spider Lily, he really couldn't think of what kind of formation could be able to change the formation silently.

"I wonder if you've ever heard of Ghost Mound?"

"ghost?!"

Hearing these two words, the old foreigner and Yang Fang, who were standing side by side, looked at each other in surprise.

The light in his hand flickered.

The two people's faces looked extremely ugly.

Not to mention what this thing is, just hearing the name is enough to make people feel cold all over.

"But the Lost Tomb?"

Partridge Whistle seemed to have heard something, but there was also a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"It almost means the same thing."

"This ghost is not really an invisible and intangible strange thing. It may refer to a natural phenomenon that is difficult to explain. Just like a ghost, no one knows when it will appear and when it will leave."

Chen Yulou explained softly.

He also mentioned the ghost ship drifting in the vast ocean.

"I've heard a little bit about the ghost ship."

“There are actually quite a few rumors on the Yellow River.”

"The older generation of fishermen swore that on rainy and foggy days, boats would appear out of nowhere, and when people bravely boarded the boats, they would find that there was no one on board."

"What's more, some people said that there was food and drinks in the cabin, hot and fragrant."

Listen to his explanation.

Yang Fang suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard in his childhood.

"Yes."

Chen Yulou nodded.

The Longling Tomb is actually quite simple to explain. It is nothing more than that several thousand years ago in the Western Zhou Dynasty, a king took a fancy to the feng shui of this place and built a tomb based on the mountain.

Thousands of years later.

Li Chunfeng retired and returned to his hometown.

Having traveled all over both sides of the Yellow River, he also took a fancy to Longling, a Feng Shui treasure land.

So he decided to use this place as his burial place.

but……

The tomb is half built.

He then realized that the Feng Shui place had already been taken by someone else, and he was kind of usurping the throne. However, things had come to this point, and there was nothing he could do to change the situation, so he could only accept the situation as it was.

Therefore, a tomb within a tomb appeared in Longling.

However, the Western Zhou tomb is a rare ghost tomb in the world, and it does not appear all the time. It will only be awakened from the darkness when a "sacrifice" occurs.

The objects of "sacrifice" are actually living beings.

Such as the three birds brought into the tomb by Jin Suanpan, and the big goose carried by Hu Bayi and others.

In fact, sacrifices were carried out invisibly.

Thus awakening the ghost tomb.

And they...

Chen Yulou glanced at the bamboo basket behind Yang Fang calmly.

Although there was no sound of the iron leaves crossing each other at this moment, the faint aura of the demonic mirage could not be concealed at all.

No matter what.

Just ignore this.

"Manager Chen, do you mean to forcibly demolish the wall?"

As if aware of his gaze, Yang Fang did not think much about it. He just thought that he was planning to use the two armored beasts to penetrate the mountain cave tomb. Since the back road had been blocked, the tomb wall on the other side of the river was still there.

Wouldn't it be better to break it by force?

"I guess Senior Jin Suanpan did the same thing."

Knowing that he would misunderstand him, Chen Yulou did not deny it, but just said it meaningfully.

"Brother Chen, are you saying that the senior bypassed this wall?"

Partridge Whistle was indeed experienced and insightful, and he immediately understood his hidden meaning.

And this huge tomb is suspended deep underground.

Since the surroundings are blocked by outer walls and there are rolling mountains and valleys above, there is only one way to get inside.

Thoughts together.

Partridge Whistle pointed to the ground almost subconsciously.

"That's right. Although the Mojinmen are good at digging tunnels, the whirlwind shovel can't break through this heavy wall. If Senior Jin Suanpan wants to get in, he has to break through from the bottom."

Chen Yulou nodded.

While talking.

He also did not forget to make a simple gesture.

In other words, there is more than just one tomb-robbing hole under the Fishbone Temple.

"Then Shopkeeper Chen, let the armored beast take action?"

Seeing that the stolen hole showed no signs of recovery in a short period of time, the old foreigner couldn't help but say.

"The terrain here is hollow, so this is the best way right now."

Chen Yulou nodded.

After they entered the mountain, why did it take them so long to get close to the Dragon King Temple?

It's not a rough mountain road.

Instead, there are holes everywhere, and one can fall into them if one is not careful.

Falling to the ground is the least of the worries. This damn place is full of quicksand, just like the mudflats by the Yellow River. Once people fall into it, they will almost certainly be swallowed by the mud and sand.

"it is good."

Got a positive reply.

The old foreigner would never hesitate.

The armored beast was immediately awakened.

He pointed to the extremely thick city wall across the underground river.

The two armored beasts had a pair of front claws that were like swords that could cut through iron like mud. Even homemade cannons and iron spikes could not shake the high glutinous rice rammed earth wall, which was as soft as tofu under their feet.

With a series of clicking sounds.

Less than a blink of an eye.

A hole was cut in the wall.

Wherever the sharp claws passed, stone chips flew everywhere, and the water-ground blue bricks were cut straight off and fell into the underground river behind them.

This scene shocked everyone.

It was Chen Yulou. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a strong impulse in his heart.

Pangolins are not rare.

If we collect them carefully, we might be able to find a few of the alien species.

If he feeds them well with the secret technique of moving mountains, after a few years, maybe he will be able to produce a few more armored beasts that can dig through mountains, burrow into tombs, move mountains and break hills.

but.

This thought was suppressed in an instant.

Wait until the Longling Tomb is finished.

In fact, there are only a few great treasures in the world that can attract him.

Guixu in the South China Sea and Guanxia in Wushan.

At most, add another Hundred Eyes Cave.

It’s not that he covets the place where the turtle sleeps, but the eyeless dragon talisman that was taken away by the Yuan Sect.

Plus the one in Guixu.

Complete the Guixu Gua Ding.

Other creatures like Wong Tai Sin and the anaconda are no longer dangerous to him now. At most, the corpse ginseng may be used to make medicine.

The land of Guixu is located deep in the South China Sea, and the Dixian Village has the Nine Deaths Jingling Armor protective formation.

Neither of these can be broken by mere armored beasts.

Therefore, instead of spending so much effort to raise it and transform it into a demon little by little, he might as well take this opportunity to practice hard.

bang——

at last.

There was a huge roar.

Echoing in the empty underground river.

Chen Yulou immediately put his thoughts aside and looked carefully. He saw that a cave more than half a person's height had appeared on the thick outer wall.

The lights shine through.

Smoke, dust and debris float back and forth in the light.

"Don't be so nervous."

"Tang tombs are among the most solid in history. It is no exaggeration to describe them as impregnable."

"Did you see the cold light reflected between the cracks in the wall..."

Seeing the old foreigner holding up his umbrella and standing in front of everyone to protect them, it was obvious that he was worried about whether there might be hidden arrows or devices behind the cave entrance, but Chen Yulou just patted him on the shoulder, smiled and shook his head.

"Pour glutinous rice outside and iron paste inside."

"There are only two armored beasts today. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to break through."

Hear what he said.

Yang Fang, who was following closely behind him, felt his heart sink suddenly, "Then... my master?"

"Don't worry, this Tang tomb is not without flaws. In that era, people paid attention to the storage of wind and the gathering of energy, and Feng Shui was the same, so the ancient tomb would not be completely sealed like a coffin, but would leave a place for the circulation of energy."

"This place is called a vacant position in Feng Shui."

"Senior is proficient in Yin Yang Feng Shui, the Five Elements Divination and Dunjia. Shouldn't it be easy for you to calculate the empty position?"

Chen Yulou explained in a gentle voice.

He knew very well why Yang Fang was worried. After all, Longling had been weathered and eroded for thousands of years, and the underground was full of mazes and holes. If he dug holes rashly, it would most likely cause a collapse and bury people alive underground.

Also.

He also had nothing to say.

In order to prevent theft, when Tang tombs were built, one or several mechanisms would be buried in the empty positions.

Such as quicksand, crossbows, traps, swords or fire and poison.

He would rather destroy the empty throne than let the burial objects be taken away by tomb robbers.

However, a person like Jin Suanpan, who could even calculate the empty position, would definitely know this. After all, if it weren't for those big demon spiders, he almost passed through the Longling Treasure.

"Walk."

Clear away the worries of the group.

Chen Yulou, holding a lantern, was the first to cross the hole in the wall, and broke in after bending down.

See this.

How could the people behind dare to delay?

Especially Yang Fang, who was concerned about the safety of his master Jin Abacus, could not wait any longer. Without thinking, he followed him closely and crossed the stone wall.

only……

Once you enter the mausoleum.

He seemed to be under a spell and stood there in a daze. Especially when he saw his surroundings clearly in the light of the lamp, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"what's going on?"

"Are you possessed by evil spirits?"

The old foreigner who followed him in saw him blocking the entrance of the cave and almost bumped into him. He frowned and asked in a low voice.

"no……"

"This is such a weird layout."

"Old foreigner, look for yourself, this tomb seems to be only half built."

Yang took a few steps forward to make room for the huge Kunlun to enter and exit.

But faced with the old foreigner's questions.

He didn't know how to answer.

He scratched his head vigorously several times and then spoke in a strange tone.

"What's the point of repairing half of it?"

"Could it be that the tomb owner didn't come in and it's just an empty tomb?"

The old foreigner was still meeting his senior brother and Kunlun. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh.

But this joke is too cold.

Even he felt it was a bit too stiff.

but……

When he turned around, he saw Yang Fang nodded very seriously.

"Don't say it, it's possible."

thump—

Seeing this, not only the old foreigner, but also Kunlun and Partridge Whistle who came in before and after, couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw a hint of disbelief on each other's faces.
