Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

The young man used his "rich woman's happy hand" technique, and with a "whoosh," he embedded himself in the wall. Hinata Hoshino felt a sharp pain in his teeth; even just looking at it hurt.

"Get the pipe, drain the alum acid from inside the wall," Panzi said, raising the sledgehammer again. Hinata Hoshino grasped Panzi's hand once more.

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll do it."

Soft Fist, Bagua, Empty Palm

With precise control of the force, all the bricks fell with a "clatter," without breaking a single one.

Upon entering the tomb, Panzi glanced at the sledgehammer aside, clearly indicating that he no longer wanted it.

Facing them was a large bronze cauldron, and Da Kui shouted, "I'm rich!"

He jumped right in, grabbed a handful of jewelry, and put it on his body.

"Get down quickly, do you want to be a sacrifice?"

Da Kui didn't take it seriously. He picked up a skull, was startled, put down his valuables, and jumped out.

The coffin in front of the cauldron began to tremble, seemingly displeased that a living person had entered.

Just as the young man was about to kneel, Hyuga Hoshino activated his Body Flicker Technique, arrived in front of the coffin, and with a flick of his hand, cast a Bagua seal on the coffin lid.

To prevent the coffin from being a sliding lid instead of a flip-top, both ends and the bottom of the coffin were also inspected. He would never repeat the mistake made by a certain "I am in my own hands, not in the heavens" great god.

He calmly left and entered a side chamber where seven coffins were placed.

"Third Uncle, is this the main burial chamber? Why are there seven coffins?"

“Your grandfather’s notes should have recorded that this is the Seven Star Coffins. Only one of the seven coffins contains the true body, while the others contain zombies. If the wrong coffin is opened, the zombies will immediately rise up.”

"Third Uncle, which coffin is the right one?"

Hinata Hoshino looked like she knew it all along, thinking, "It's all fake, silly kid."

"I'm not sure, but the main burial chamber couldn't be here; it's possible that everything is fake."

Please forgive the fact that the plot is a mix of the original novel and the TV series. Also, I still prefer Tang Yan's version.

Chapter 5 First Encounter with Hei Xiazi

The uncle and nephew were discussing the Seven Star Coffin when Pan Zi keenly noticed something was wrong; it seemed the number of shadows was incorrect.

One for Third Master, one for Little Third Master, one for me, one for Da Kui, one for Little Second Master, one for Little Brother, and one for Hunyuan.

"Count again, the perfectly round shadows? There's one more!" Panzi shouted.

"Third Master, be careful."

Panzi pulled out an M1911, which he had just picked up from the roadside. It seemed to have been discarded when he joined the team earlier. There were only three rounds left, no extras.

The group discovered a large-headed monster with a round body in the corner.

He pulled the trigger at the figure, and Smail shot through it, breaking the jar on the monster's head. Only then did he realize it was a person, how amazing, just with a jar on their head.

The figure was startled and turned to run. Pan Zi, Da Kui, and Wu Sansheng gave chase, as did Xiao Ge.

Only Wu Xie and Hinata Hoshino remained in place. Hinata Hoshino shrugged at Wu Xie, preparing to chase after him to check, but Wu Xie grabbed him. Fortunately, Hinata Hoshino didn't use much force, otherwise Wu Xie might have been dragged away.

The delicate and frail Wu Xie is just that fragile.

"Hoshino."

Seeing Wu Xiaogou's miserable face, Hinata Hoshino gave up on chasing after Xiao Ge and the others.

"Wu Xie, what do you want to do?"

"Come with me and show me around."

So, Hinata Hoshino followed Wu Xie to another side room, where there was a hole, probably made by the person from before. There was a bag next to the hole.

Wu Xie opened it and took a look. A piece of paper caught his attention. It seemed to be a map of the place, with a place marked with the mark of the Hydra.

Wu Xie couldn't understand it, so he handed it to Hyuga Hoshino, indicating that he wanted to help him with his opinion.

"My lord, there must be something fishy about this."

Hinata Hoshino spoke righteously, earning Wu Xie a glare. Wu Xie looked at the tunnel and had a strange idea. Hinata Hoshino tried to stop him, but Wu Xie had already rushed in and waved to Hinata Hoshino.

Hyuga Hoshino hadn't crawled inside the passage for long when suddenly, there was no space beneath her. Wu Xie continued crawling without noticing that Hyuga Hoshino had disappeared.

A new tomb passage? Hinata Hoshino looked around. Not far away, a dark shadow flashed by. Where did that big black rat come from?

"Let's follow him and see," Hinata Hoshino activated his Body Flicker Technique and caught up with the shadowy figure. Black leather jacket, black leather pants, and sunglasses visible from the side—it must be Black Bear.

Sensing someone approaching, he instinctively turned and threw a punch, which Hyuga Hoshino easily caught with his left hand, trapping the black bear's fist in his grasp.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Er? Greetings to you."

With his left hand gripping the sword in reverse, Hyuga Hoshino swung it forward. He dodged backward as the short sword flashed past his eyes. Without using chakra, Hyuga Hoshino clenched his fist and slammed his index finger into a pressure point on Hei Xiazi's left hand.

In a flash, Hei Xiazi felt a numbness in his left hand and almost lost his grip on the short sword. He turned around, his back to Hyuga Hoshino, intending to use the momentum to slam Hyuga Hoshino's left arm against the stone wall, thus causing Hyuga Hoshino to let go.

Hinata Hoshino let go, grabbed Hei Xiazi's arms, and slammed Hei Xiazi's left arm against the wall. He then released his grip, and the short sword fell to the ground.

Hinata Hoshino exerted force with both hands, causing Hei Xiazi's left and right hands to fall behind him in opposite directions. Hinata Hoshino's left and right hand fingers hooked onto Hei Xiazi's right and left hand fingers, and with a kick, Hei Xiazi was forced into a split.

Logically speaking, Hei Xiazi is one of the strongest fighters in the world, so he shouldn't be unable to react.

However, Hyuga Hoshino used his cheat code, stimulating his muscles with Yang Release chakra to increase his speed. Since it was just a simple stimulation, it was not recorded on the system panel at all.

Di Renjie: Yuanfang, what weapon are you using?

Li Yuanfang: This humble servant will use this.

"Young Master, stop! Stop! Ouch, my old back!"

"Who told you to be so uncivilized and attack a twelve-year-old elementary school student like me?"

"Young Master, you've misunderstood. How could a kind person like me possibly ambush someone?"

"Am I not someone else?"

"Of course, you are my dear Second Master, how can you be considered someone else?"

Hinata Hoshino let go, and Kuroshiko stood up, kicked the hilt of the sword with his left foot, and put his left hand back on his waist.

"Young Master, look at my clothes, look at my pants, look at my waist. How about you give me something as a token of appreciation?"

Hei Xiazi pulled out a POS machine with his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together with his left hand, and scraped his thumb on his fingers as he looked at Hyuga Hoshino.

"Sorry, I don't have my card or cash."

“It’s alright, you can write me an IOU. Someone as kind as me is naturally willing to trust you.”

"I won't fight, do whatever you want."

Hinata Hoshino walked towards one side of the tomb passage, while Hei Xiazi was still playing the victim and begging for money.

"Oh my, what a coincidence!"

After going around in circles, Hinata Hoshino returned to the side room where the Seven Star Coffin was still.

Soft Fist, Bagua, Empty Palm

With a powerful palm strike, the coffin lid was pushed open halfway, allowing the sliding coffin to move freely without any direct contact. The rice dumpling inside lay peacefully within.

Blue threads appeared in Hyuga Hoshino's palm; these were chakra threads, a specialty of the Sunagakure puppeteers.

Hinata Hoshino experimented with puppet toys, and at most he could make the puppets do some simple actions, such as holding something with both hands, lifting it up, and putting it aside.

Therefore, Hinata Hoshino manipulated the rice dumplings inside the coffin to pick up the burial items placed inside the coffin, put them outside the coffin, and then held the edge of the coffin and closed the coffin lid.

Hei Xiazi was dumbfounded; this was far more useful than Er Yuehong's long pole for dodging traps.

Most of the mechanisms in the tomb are triggered on the ground. Er Yuehong can use a bamboo pole as a support point and use his light-foot technique to walk on the walls to avoid the mechanisms.

With this unique skill, Er Yuehong could move freely through the tomb passages. However, it seems that the skill has been lost.

"Young Master, please teach me this. This is my lifelong request."

"Talent, you can't learn it. Lend me your leather jacket."

"Alright, how could a kind person like me refuse such a request?"

Hyuga Hoshino didn't reply. He picked up his leather jacket and walked towards the Seven Star Coffin, wrapping the burial items one by one in the jacket. Once he finished, he draped it over his back.

The exciting moment of dividing the spoils has finally arrived. If you can't learn it, you can't learn it; you'll still get paid.

Hinata Hoshino walked up to Kuroshiko and began dividing the spoils.

"One for you, one for me, one for me, one for me, one for me..."

After the distribution, Hei Xiazi only had one item in front of him, while Hinata Hoshino's pile was already full. Hei Xiazi wore a forced smile.

"Young Master, someone as kind as you should not mind helping a poor person like me."

"I'm not kind, you're not poor, and I've heard of your infamous name, Black Bear. People in the underworld call you 'money-grubbing bastard.' You think you're short of money?"

"I earn a lot, but I also spend a lot, please forgive me."

After saying that, he reached out to pick at the items near Hinata Hoshino, but Hinata Hoshino waved his hand and put them into his system space. What a joke, how much space can a piece of clothing take up to cover everything?

Black Bear's smile froze on his face, but he quickly recovered. After all, he had collected three payments on this trip, so it wasn't a loss.

Chapter 6 Pan Zi, Fatty Wang, Black Bear, White-Eyed Man, Wu Xin

Hei Xiazi was surprised by Hyuga Hoshino's ability to hide things in the void, but he was more disappointed by his slow reaction.

"Look at this leather jacket of mine, it's a brand name product, how about you give me some more?"

"You're right, there's no need to look anymore."

Hyuga Hoshino tossed a five-cent coin without turning around. Hei Xiazi caught it instinctively. "Change? Here's your change, want it?"

One item at a time, without Hyuga Hoshino, it wouldn't be easy for him to take anything out.

Hinata Hoshino was curious about Hei Xiazi's mission, so he kept his Byakugan active, watching Hei Xiazi closely. Within a radius of one kilometer, his Byakugan could see through everything without any blind spots.

From Wu Xie's perspective, Hinata Hoshino says that she is not Wu Xie's nanny and does not need to follow him all the time, as long as he is not in danger.

Wu Xie was approaching the swarm of corpse beetles, and Wang Pangzi and Pan Zi were also nearby.
