Tomb Raider: The comprehension is against the sky, and the achievement is indestructible

Chapter 9 Are there evil ghosts near Prince Lu’s palace?

Su Mo quickly returned to the boat. After drifting forward with the current for a while, they left the bottom of the mountain through the cave in front and abandoned the boat on the shore outside the cave.

Smoke could be seen faintly in the woods in the distance ahead; this was the mountain village that Uncle Wu and his companions were looking for.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Along the way, there were the boatmen causing trouble, corpse-bugs eating people, and then there were the black-haired zombies and white corpse puppets, which scared the group of people to death.

Uncle Wu couldn't help but sigh:

"Master Su, your tricks today really opened my eyes. It turns out that you Taoist monks are so powerful. I only heard that Taoist monk Queqiao Shao could break a zombie's vertebra with his Kuixing Kick. But it turns out that your tricks are much stronger than Queqiao Shao's!"

Su Mo smiled faintly:
"Although both Partridge Whistle and I are Taoist monks, we are not from the same lineage, so naturally there are some differences!"

Anyway, the Mountain Moving Taoist has existed since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and there is probably no telling how many branches there are among them. Su Mo simply said that he and Partridge Whistle were not from the same branch, and apart from the Kuixing Kicking Skill, they did not have much in common.

These words resolved all the doubts of Uncle Wu and the young man.

Da Kui and Pan Zi didn't understand what the Taoist monk who moved mountains and the strong man who removed mountains were, and they just kept praising him:
"It has to be Master Su. When that female zongzi jumped out, I was so scared that I dared not even breathe. In the end, Master Su killed it with one strike of the sword without even turning his head!"

"That's right, Master Su's sword is also very unique. It must be worth a lot of money in my opinion!"

At this time, Su Mo had already put the Frost Moon Sword on his back and returned the Black Gold Ancient Knife to the young man.

Da Kui and Pan Zi couldn't help drooling when they looked at the Frost Moon Ancient Sword behind him.

Such a sword can also kill zombies. If it is sold, it would be worth at least a few million!

However, they were just drooling. After all, the sword was obtained by Su Mo himself by climbing up the cliff. If any of them were greedy, they could only get it themselves.

As they were talking, they arrived at the village. Uncle Wu found a guesthouse there, and then they all took a hot bath there, washing away all the fear and fatigue of the day.

After dinner, Su Mo returned to his room and placed the Frost Moon Sword on his lap to look at it.

Although the blade of this sword is like a crescent moon and looks quite strange, it can use the Golden Crow Sword Technique and the Frost Moon Sword Technique at the same time, and can also integrate the Sun and Moon Sword Technique that Su Mo comprehended.

But it is a magical weapon that is very suitable for Su Mo to use.

Unexpectedly, before arriving at Prince Lu's Palace, Su Mo had already had many adventures and gains.

As far as Su Mo knew, there were strange nine-headed snake cypresses, jade figurines, qilin jellyfish and other rare items in the Prince Lu's Palace.

Once you get there, you don’t know what kind of insights and adventures you’ll gain!

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but look forward to this trip to Prince Lu's Palace even more!
……

The next morning, after everyone had breakfast together, Uncle Wu discussed the next route with Brother Su Mo and the others.

As we were chatting, a waiter came over:

"Are you guys tomb robbers?"

When Uncle Wu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

How come the waiters at a guesthouse in such a remote little village also know about tomb robbing!

The waiter smiled:
"Our place is so remote, who would come here if not a tomb robber?"

It turned out that there was indeed a large tomb near this mountain village. Some valuable things were washed down when there was a flood a few years ago, so people from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the archaeological team sent people to survey it and even had the entire mountain fenced off.

However, the archaeological team did not seem to find anything, and gradually left. Later, many people came here one after another, basically coming to explore the tomb under various names, but although these people spent a lot of effort, they did not see any gains.

Some people even went straight into the mountains after arriving and never came out again.

The waiter chatted with Su Mo and the others for a few words, then turned and left.

Uncle Wu and the others were silent for a while, then they all looked at Su Mo.

"Master Su, it seems that many people have come here, but I don't know if we can find anything good this time. When do you think it would be best for us to set off?"

Su Mo knew that the Lu Palace was in the mountains, so there was no need to waste time, so he said:
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Whether others have investigated or not is none of our business!"

Uncle Wu nodded and said:

"Master Su is right. For us tomb raiders, it doesn't matter who comes first. As long as we find the entrance to Prince Lu's Palace, all the artifacts inside will be ours!"

After the few people made the decision, they simply packed up their tools, purchased some food, water and other supplies from the village, and left the village to head into the mountains.

Just after leaving the village, I saw an old man carrying water by the mountain stream in front of me who looked very familiar.

It was the old man who drove the coach yesterday.

When Da Kui and Pan Zi saw the old man driving the cart, they became furious and rushed towards him.

When the old man saw Su Mo and the others, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away. However, with his old arms and legs, how could he be a match for the two retired soldiers, Da Kui and Pan Zi? In a blink of an eye, he was caught up by the two and kicked down, and then his hands and feet were tied up and brought in front of Uncle Wu like a pig.

"Master, please spare me. I really didn't mean to trick you yesterday. It was all done by that boatman. It has nothing to do with me..."

When the old man saw that he was caught, he immediately threw the blame on the boatman, begging for mercy and crying bitterly:
"I am only responsible for taking the guests to the ship. I really don't know anything else!"

Uncle Wu and his gang have been in the business for many years, so how could they be fooled by just a few words from him?

Da Kui then gritted his teeth and said:
"You old thing, you still dare to quibble? I'll drag you back to the waterway to feed the corpse-eating bugs!"

"You can't do that!"

When the old man heard that he was going to be fed to the corpse-eating bugs, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants and kowtowed to beg for mercy:

"I really haven't harmed anyone. All these things were done by that boatman. You gentlemen should be magnanimous and don't bother with me and harm innocent people..."

Su Mo glanced at him, but was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. He kicked him and said:

"Stop talking nonsense. Have you ever taken people into the mountains to look for ancient tombs before?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately stopped begging for mercy. His eyes rolled around for a few seconds, but he did not answer immediately.

Su Mo knew at a glance that he was plotting something again, and immediately grabbed the old man's neck:
"Lead us there honestly and I'll let you go. Otherwise I'll break your neck and throw you into a den of corpse-eating bugs!"

When the old man heard this, his face turned pale with fear and he quickly begged for mercy:

"Master, it's not that I don't want to take you there, it's just that... that place is very weird, there are evil spirits!"

Hearing the old man's words, Su Mo and the others were stunned.

Are there evil ghosts haunting near Prince Lu's palace?
"Really, grandpas, I'm not lying to you! A few days ago, I led a team there, but they all disappeared for no reason. They must have been eaten by evil spirits!"

"That place is very weird, I dare not go there!"
