Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

hastily cut

......"

Wu Sansheng was terrified; he was probably going to be in big trouble today. This was the first time he had encountered such a ferocious zombie that could even sing opera.

Pan Zi began to break out in a cold sweat. Even this tough guy who had been on the battlefield felt a chill run down his spine.

Da Kui felt his great-grandmother waving at him. If it were a physical object, he would be fine, but he was afraid of something like this that he didn't know anything about.

In a closed and dimly lit environment, a plaintive female voice sings opera. The voice drifts and lingers, as if coming from all directions. Who could resist such a sound?

Wu Xie sensed the sound coming from behind him, stiffly turned his head, and saw Hinata Hoshino pinching her throat and singing.

The young man didn't even turn his head. He recognized Hinata Hoshino's voice, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Wu Xie, like a puppy, lunged at food, grabbed Hyuga Hoshino by the neck, and shook him violently.

"You scared me to death, you know that? Huh?"

"Calm down, calm down, Wu Xie, calm down."

"You don't respect me, you won't even call me 'brother'."

"Okay, okay, Brother Xie, calm down."

Hyuga Hoshino was restrained by Wu Xie, but Wu Xie didn't use any force at all. Even if he did use force, Hyuga Hoshino would still be able to break free.

Hyuga Hoshino, perhaps because he returned to his twelve-year-old self, or because the atmosphere in the Hyuga family had been too serious and oppressive for too long, started to act up. However, it's nice to have someone to joke around with.

Corpse Puppet: I'm shivering and cold. Does anyone even care about me? When can the Corpse Puppet stand up? Why does it feel so cheesy?

Hinata Hoshino's singing really startled everyone; the ship almost passed right by the corpse puppet, yet no one noticed him.

Corpse Puppet: If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. In the end, I still had to bear everything.

Silently moving closer to the cave entrance, the young man stared at the corpse puppet, his expression blank, but his eyes held a strange look. This corpse puppet seemed a bit dim-witted.

Wu Xie glanced at it unintentionally during their playful antics and noticed a white-clad corpse puppet slowly moving. He paused for a moment.

"Look, what is that?"

Wu Sansheng noticed the parallel displacement of the corpse puppet, weighed the old black donkey hoof in his hand, exchanged it for a ten-year-old one, pondered for a moment, and then exchanged it for a yellow talisman that he didn't know where he got it from.

She was shifting, the boat was drifting, she noticed someone watching her, stopped, and then the boat drifted past her.

Corpse Puppet: You're not following the script, are you?

A huge swarm of corpse beetles emerged from the corpse puppet, densely packed, a hell for those with trypophobia.

The young man drew his black gold ancient sword and slashed it towards his palm. Hyuga Hoshino grasped the young man's hand.

"Don't hurt yourself so easily. Blood is useful, but you can't use it all the time. Let me do it."

Although there aren't many Soft Fist techniques on the list, their experience points are ridiculously high, especially Bagua Empty Palm, which can not only strike an "S" but also a "B".

Soft Fist, Bagua, Empty Palm, Gatling Gun, Praise to the Bodhisattva

A barrage of palm strikes swept through the dense swarm of corpse beetles. First came the merciful and compassionate Brother Xiao, with his Gatling gun-like merciful and compassionate hand; now comes Brother Xingye, with his empty palm Gatling gun.

The strong winds propelled the boat toward the cave entrance, creating the first unsolved problem in physics; the electric fan propelled the car.

Clumps of unidentified objects of various shapes floated to the surface of the water, and Hinata Hoshino laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha, hahahaha."

The Hyuga clan's madman has arrived! So exhilarating! This is the joy of having great power return to oneself.

Everyone on the ship was stunned; it was too brutal.

Sun Bin shook his head when he saw it, and made a heart shape with his crippled knee.

The young man was also a little stunned, but it wasn't obvious because of his expression. He loosened his hood, tightened the bottle cap, and remained silent, like Cambridge on a boat.

The corpse beetles were quickly cleared away. Hyuga Hoshino's breathing was a little heavy; his chakra was mostly depleted, and he looked somewhat tired. He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a reclusive master. He raised an eyebrow at Wu Xie, "Your Hoshino brother, isn't he amazing?"

That's the tune, and guess what? It held up.

He was still gathering chakra in his hands, remembering that the corpse puppet was going to borrow Wu Xie's yang energy later.

Since we're already here, we have to break this ill-fated relationship and protect Wu Xie's pure and innocent body, which even Xiao Ge hasn't tried yet!

With a quick glance, he pretended to be exhausted. Xiao Ge and Wu Xie helped Hyuga Hoshino up, one on each side. Wu Xie was closer, while Xiao Ge ran faster.

Wu Sansheng, stunned, sighed. Plans can't keep up with changes. He was certain that Hinata Hoshino and "it" really had nothing to do with each other. It was too high-profile and the styles were completely different.

A light flashed in the distance, indicating they were about to leave. The group relaxed their guard, and the corpse puppet realized its last chance to escape was about to be lost.

The young man sensed the approaching corpse puppet and turned to look at the bow of the ship with Wu Xie and Hyuga Hoshino. As long as they didn't look at her, everything would be fine. Why complicate things when they could be solved simply?

Turn your head, look ahead, and don't look back.

The guy's speech reached the word count requirement.

Hinata Hoshino felt a chill down her spine and knew it was the Corpse Puppet coming. Wu Xie, for some reason, turned around with an irresistible urge.

"You audacious monster, you dare to disregard me! Eat my Four Symbols Seal!"

Hyuga Hoshino didn't even turn his head; he was already prepared, and the Four Symbols Seal came crashing down on him.

"Sizzle, sizzle."

"what!"

After a sound of resentment, a wisp of green smoke rose from the stern of the ship, leaving behind the Four Symbols Sealing Technique.

Chapter 4 Village, Thief's Cave, Bloodstained Funeral City

When the boat docked, Hinata Hoshino said he could let him off the boat, but Wu Xie shook his head. Xiao Ge remained silent and carried him off the boat from both sides.

After all, he's just a twelve-year-old kid, right? The Wu family's son-in-law, right? The Zhang family patriarch's wife, right? Wu, Old Jie's best friend, the beginning of everything, the source of all evil, Sanxing.

With his legs curled up and his feet dangling in mid-air, Wu Xie smiled helplessly as Xiao Ge tightened the bottle cap. It was actually quite heartwarming.

"Hey kid, come here."

The little boy carrying a bamboo basket approached Wu Xie, and Wu Xie gave him what he thought was a gentle smile.

"Tell your brother, do you know where the Murakami Inn is?"

The little boy stretched out his hand, indicating that he should give him some money. Wu Xie was taken aback. Wu Sansheng gestured for Pan Zi to give him money. Pan Zi took out a five-yuan note. The little boy shook his head, took out a hundred-yuan note, and accepted it with satisfaction, then led the way.

The little boy would occasionally look back at Hinata Hoshino. The Wu family all knew that his eyes were abnormal, but the hospital examination results were good, and they could only determine that he had congenital albinism. It was difficult for the doctors.

The intern who was reviewing the report was named Liang Wan. She called over her entire thesis advisor, who in turn called over a bunch of colleagues. It was quite an interesting sight to see a group of medical experts scratching their heads in confusion.

Soon, they arrived at the small inn and everyone settled in. Wu Sansheng and two other workers went to gather information. As the sun set, Wu Xie and Hinata Hoshino were having dinner. Wu Xie recalled Xiao Ge's pale face and lips.

Guessing the young man might be anemic, I ordered a pork blood and offal hot pot and had it delivered to his room. The Zhang family patriarch's wife truly is a virtuous and capable wife.

The next morning, everyone was fully equipped, including Hyuga Hoshino, who felt completely unburdened. His incredible prowess from the previous day was still fresh in everyone's memory, and having him by their side provided an overwhelming sense of security.

Wu Sansheng went there based on the Warring States silk manuscript. Not long after he left, Panzi saw the old man who had driven the oxcart yesterday. The group exchanged glances, their understanding unspoken, and surrounded the old man from all directions.

Upon seeing Pan Zi, the old man turned and ran, but was stopped by several people. He promptly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Gentlemen, please have mercy! Cough cough cough, I was coerced by that boatman. I'm not in good health and I'm still taking medicine, cough cough cough, and I have an eighty-year-old mother to take care of at home, cough cough cough. By the way, where is that boatman?"

"That's all. Perfect, let's all gather downstairs."

"Sir, spare me! Sir, spare me!"

Wu Sansheng seemed to realize that the old man was a local, so he asked for directions based on the directions indicated by the silk scroll.

"If you're willing to lead the way to that location, I'll spare your life."

Upon seeing the direction Wu Sansheng pointed to, the old man kowtowed more frequently.

“There are head graves there. Oh my god, that’s suicide. Besides, a group of people went there before and haven’t come back yet.”

After listening to the old man's words, Wu Sansheng knocked him unconscious and left him there. He continued in that direction, passing by the "human head pit". Hinata Hoshino took out an old-fashioned camera and took a photo of himself with the human head pit, thus completing his photo check-in.

Upon arrival, we saw a campsite with several military green tents.

Instead of setting up another camp, they settled in directly. Hinata Hoshino frowned. Following this direction, it felt somewhat unlike the original work, more like a mix of the TV series and the original novel.

I'll check later to see if A-Ning has updated. If she has, it's the TV series; if not, it's the original novel.

Speaking of which, what would it be like if it were Aning? There are indeed quite a few versions of Aning. Never mind, let's see Uncle San dig in!

Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi were already digging with their shovels. When Hinata Hoshino arrived, the shovels had already been pulled out. Looking at the soil stained with blood, Hinata Hoshino suddenly thought of the words "Blood-Staining Funeral City".

Hinata Hoshino felt a chill and suddenly realized the lemonade tasted a bit fishy. A lyric echoed in her mind.

"You hate me, I hate you, the blood-soaked funeral city is salty."

As expected of Aunt Xie, who is skilled with her hands, Wu Sansheng quickly dug the tunnel.

The group filed in, while on the other side, another person was digging a tunnel. After finishing, he stopped, took out a cross, and pulled out a string of Buddhist prayer beads.

"May the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and the Buddha protect you, Amen, Hallelujah."

Having completed the routine task, they slipped into the tomb in a flash.

Wu Sansheng and the others landed in the tomb passage. Byakugan activated, and Hyuga Hoshino activated his X-ray vision mode, seeing liquid sealed inside the high wall in front of him, which should be alum acid.

"This should be the sealing wall of the tomb. Let's check if there are any traps around it."

Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi searched around but found no traps. Wu Sansheng knocked on the wall and judged from the sound that the wall was not thick.

He called Panzi and Da Kui to help him dismantle the wall.

"Wait a moment."

Hinata Hoshino stopped them, took out a can of red spray paint from his system space, and wrote the character "拆" (demolish) on the wall. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay."

Wu Sansheng shielded everyone in front of him, then looked helplessly at Hinata Hoshino, that brat.

Panzi had already swung his sledgehammer, ready to shout, "Eighty, eighty!"

The young man stopped Pan Zi.

"There's a hidden compartment in this wall; we can only take it outwards."

Pan Zi looked at the tightly sealed wall in front of him, somewhat annoyed. He simply wanted to demolish the wall; where did all these people come from shouting "Spare the wall under the hammer!" How was he supposed to get it out? Use a needle like chopsticks to clamp the end out?
