Chapter 394 Kun Gua Graveyard
Jiang Nanxi's expression changed instantly. "Didn't that thing not touch the energy stone? Why am I still missing one of my energy stones!"

As the ghostly face approached, she saw a transparent hand trying to steal the energy stone, so she punched it away.

Jiang Nanxi is certain he didn't run into her!

If we didn't encounter it, how could there be one less energy stone?
Jiang Nanxi looked at the rooster suspiciously, "Aotian, did you take an extra energy stone from me?"

"How can it be."

The rooster gave her an unhappy look and said, "I only have one here, why would I steal yours?"

"Then why am I missing one of my energy stones?"

"How do I know?"

It was exhausted after delivering food, so it didn't have time to steal anything. It just wanted to eat more to replenish its energy!

"It's definitely not that."

Liu Qingyan's voice came through, "I just felt an unfamiliar presence approaching you, but it wasn't from that ghost mask."

However, I can't use my divine sense here, so I can't determine what it was. I just sensed it disappear quickly; it was probably some kind of ghostly creature residing underground.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Nanxi quickly put the remaining energy stones into her spatial storage to prevent them from being stolen again.

She took a big bite of fried chicken and said, "Let's finish eating and keep going. I have to find that little thief who stole my things! I won't let her get away with this!"

Although she has a lot of energy stones, these energy stones are so expensive! Losing even one would be the death of her!

Jiang Nanxi sat down to eat, but her mind was filled with thoughts of the lost energy stone.

As for the other three guests...

They smelled the aroma of fried chicken nearby and swallowed hard as they looked in their direction.

Since arriving in the desert, I haven't had a decent meal!

"Let's go first!"

York said to the two people next to him.

He didn't want to keep watching them eat fried chicken, or his mouth would keep watering.

But asking him to spend an energy stone to buy a bucket of fried chicken from Jiang Nanxi is simply impossible.

He is not a fool!

He doesn't even have many of these rare energy stones; he needs to save them for his cultivation!
They bypassed the large tanks in the passage and headed directly deeper into the passage.

Jiang Nanxi watched them leave and said to Liu Qingyan, "There's only one road left over there. Let's take that road after we finish eating and see what's so strange about it."

"Ah."

Not long after they finished eating the fried chicken, Jiang Nanxi put away the large tank in the passageway.

They walked in the direction the three people had left, with the rooster following beside them.

As Jiang Nanxi walked, she observed the surrounding environment, stroking her chin in deep thought.

"What kind of ghost or monster could have stolen my things just now?"

She was a little puzzled. "With my current cultivation level, I can usually sense most ghosts and monsters when they get close. But this time, when the energy stone was stolen, why didn't I feel anything at all?"

"It might not be a ghost or monster."

Liu Qingyan said thoughtfully, "When that ghost face appeared, it carried a heavy ghostly aura and resentment, causing you to be surrounded by ghostly mist. I thought the thief was also a ghost."

But now that I think about it, the ghostly mist might just be caused by ghostly faces, and the theft might be some kind of spirit.

Spirits and monsters are different. Some ghosts are formed from spirits, while others are some kind of evil spirits. Spirits, on the other hand, are special things that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate themselves into spirits.

The longer a spirit exists, the more powerful it becomes; many inorganic substances can also cultivate into spirits. Not long after the two finished speaking, they noticed that the passage they were walking through was becoming wider and wider, and openings had appeared in the stone walls on both sides of the passage.

These openings lead to rectangular stone chambers of the same size and shape, which at first glance resemble the burial chambers of some kind of cemetery.

But these places are supposed to be tombs, yet there's nothing inside.

Jiang Nanxi walked to one of the stone chambers, looked around, and said, "This looks like a large ancient tomb. The cave we just went into had mummies buried with us. But why is there nothing in these stone chambers?"

In ancient times, only high-ranking officials and nobles could afford to build such a large tomb. It's impossible that they wouldn't have placed any burial goods here; that would be too shabby!

Liu Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that there are burial objects here, but we just can't see them?"

"You mean, there's a concealing formation here?"

"Ah."

Standing inside the passage, Liu Qingyan pointed to the stone chambers on both sides of the passage and said, "These stone chambers are of different sizes. If we look down from above, we can see these stone chambers as horizontal bars of the same length."

There are a total of six stone chambers here, three on the left and three on the right, which are perfectly symmetrical, forming a Kun trigram.

The Book of Changes states, "Kun represents the earth, from which all things are born. The vital energy originates from heaven, and form arises from the earth. Heaven and earth unite in virtue, and strength and gentleness possess their own essence. The character 'Kun' is composed of 'earth' and 'shen,' with earth representing the image of Kun and 'shen' representing the direction of Kun, thus representing the directions of the Later Heaven Bagua."

Jiang Nanxi: "Oh~~~"

Liu Qingyan looked at her with admiration, "It seems you think the same way I do, don't you also think..."

Jiang Nanxi: "I didn't understand."

Liu Qingyan: "..."

I didn't understand what you said?
Liu Qingyan was speechless for a while before saying, "What I mean is, the people who built this tomb used these stone chambers to modify the terrain and arrange a Kun trigram here."

However, the Kun hexagram is not used to cover up the burial objects, but rather to represent the beginning of life. I think there must be something growing under this place.

Judging from the situation in that cave, what's being raised here is definitely not good either. Be careful.

Jiang Nanxi asked in surprise, "They've set up an array here to raise things? So this place is a breeding farm?"

"..." Liu Qingyan's lips twitched slightly as he said, "You could say that."

Jiang Nanxi then asked, "What kind of shielding formation is it? Where is it located?"

"Don't know yet."

Liu Qingyan continued walking forward, "We can't see anything here, and we can't find any formations. Let's keep going forward and take a look."

"Ok."

The two of them continued walking forward.

The area ahead was completely dark, and even a flashlight couldn't penetrate it, as if shrouded in a thick fog.

As they walked forward, they felt that the passageway was getting bigger and wider.

Bang, bang, bang!

Heavy, deep footsteps approached.

Before they could even make out what was in the distance, they heard York and the others shouting.

"Run! Run back!"

"help!"

"Find a place to hide!"

"There were empty rooms where we could hide when we arrived!"

A short while later, they saw the three foreign guests who had just left run back, each with a pale face and lingering fear in their eyes.

Behind them, within the thick black fog, something seemed to be wriggling.
