A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

"Old Hu's 'Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique'?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man angrily kicked Xu Erhei twice.

"What the hell? They've even stolen from here? Old Hu, go back and check if anything else is missing?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Hu returned to his room and discovered that the map he had drawn earlier was nowhere to be found.

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, Bai Jing pulled Xu Erhei up and asked, "Tell me, where did the map go?"

Xu Erhei was very stubborn and refused to reveal the location of the map.

Bai Jing thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I just saw that there seemed to be other people besides Xu Erhei. If they succeed, they will definitely meet somewhere."

Yanzi thought for a moment and said, "Xu Erhei's house!"

Chapter 32 Arrival at the Bear Cave

After thinking about Yanzi's guess, everyone agreed that it made a lot of sense. So they tied Xu Erhei up and headed for Xu Erhei's house.

Xu Erhei's house wasn't far from Yanzi's house, and the group arrived at the place quickly.

However, when the group arrived at the location, they found that Xu Erhei's front door was wide open, and the room was in a mess, with even the tables and chairs broken down.

Immediately, the group of people took flashlights and began searching the room.

Suddenly, Fatty Wang seemed to notice something, picked up an iron object, and approached Bai Jing and Hu Bayi, asking, "Hey? What's this?"

After taking the item, Bai Jing chuckled and said, "Hey, a Luoyang shovel. I didn't expect Xu Erhei to be in the same line of work."

Hu Bayi also looked at the Luoyang shovel in Bai Jing's hand: "How do these bastards have this thing? Are they really tomb raiders?"

Suddenly, Yanzi seemed to have stepped on something. She shone her flashlight on the ground and immediately exclaimed, "Oh my god, isn't that a floral shirt?"

Seeing this, Fatty Wang looked at the man with the flowery arms on the ground and said in confusion, "Wait a minute, wasn't he supposed to be taken to the Party Secretary's house by the militia after the report was submitted yesterday? How did he end up here?"

Bai Jing seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I guess Xu Erhei and his gang kidnapped him. Remember when we were talking about the gold vein in the forest? This guy with the flowery arms was there too, so he probably remembers some things."

In that case, it makes sense that Xu Erhei and his gang stole Lao Hu's "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and map from our house. It seems they also want to find a gold vein.

Hu Bayi thought for a moment, then looked at the Luoyang shovel in his hand and said, "Old Bai's guess should be correct. It is estimated that Xu Erhei's ancestors were tomb raiders. After he brought Huabangzi over, Huabangzi told him some things."

Afterwards, Xu Erhei deliberately started a fire, and then took the opportunity to steal our map and Lao Hu's book. However, Xu Erhei was caught, so that was the end of it.

Upon hearing this, Yanzi seemed to have thought of something: "What Bai Jing and Hu Bayi said reminds me of some things. Before liberation, there was a gang here called the Digging Army. Xu Erhei's grandfather was a member of the Digging Army, digging up graves, kidnapping and extorting people, doing whatever made money quickly."

However, at this moment, the group was unable to find Xu Erhei's accomplices, so they could only go back first.

However, when Bai Jing and the others returned to Yanzi's house, they found that the door to the room was wide open.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi seemed to realize something and immediately ran inside, shouting as he ran, "Oh no, it might be Xu Erhei's accomplices who came here."

Everyone rushed into the house and saw that the rope that had been binding Xu Erhei in the corner had been thrown to the ground, and Xu Erhei's figure had disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the fat man was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Bai Jing told everyone to calm down and get a good night's rest, and to set off again early the next morning to search for the gold vein.

Soon, the night had passed.

As dawn broke, Bai Jing and his three companions arrived.

Carrying their belongings, they formed a team and arrived at the forest farm, where they met up with Sun Qiaoshan and Huamei.

After everyone had gathered, they set off for Tuanshanzi.

As they walked, Sun Qiaoshan continued talking about Xu Erhei.

As mentioned earlier, Xu Erhei's maternal grandfather had worked as a grave robber, specializing in digging up graves and tombs. Xu Erhei was raised by his maternal grandfather, and naturally, he also learned some grave robbing skills from a young age.

Thinking about it, if Xu Erhei had found the location of the bear cave first, he might very well have found the gold vein first.

Immediately, the group quickened their pace.

Hu Bayi took a compass and walked around, but couldn't find the location of the bear cave. He was a little puzzled and was just about to continue searching when...

Bai Jing said, "It's a complete waste of time. Forget it, come with me."

As he spoke, Bai Jing didn't use the compass. Instead, he counted on his fingers and looked in one direction, saying, "This way."

As he spoke, Bai Jing took the lead and set off immediately.

Hu Bayi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment and quickly gave chase.

On the way, Hu Bayi finally couldn't help but ask, "Old Bai, how are you sure we're heading in the right direction?"

Bai Jing smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I have to mention a secret technique in our family. After years of practice, and with the help of some secret medicines and treasures, I can even determine the location in places where the geomagnetism is extremely chaotic."

In other words, you might understand it better: in my mind, there's an acquired compass that allows me to determine the direction I'm facing, no matter where I am.

Hearing this, Hu Bayi and the others were surprised, but they didn't think much of it.

There are just too many extraordinary people and events in this world.

As far as Bai Jing knew, the Zhang family in Northeast China generally had long lifespans, and some could even live to be two hundred years old and still be full of energy.

There's also the Three Rivers Water Demon, which can breathe underwater, move freely, and is even more formidable in underwater combat.

There are those who hate the remnants of Heaven, like dragons in the sea, diving and playing in the tides as easily as taking something out of a bag.

Even Chen Yulou, the previous leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, was born with night vision, allowing him to see things in the dark as if it were daytime, and was also an expert in the art of listening to thunder and finding caves.

All of these extraordinary people actually exist.

Bai Jing had already told Hu Bayi and the others about these things before, so although Bai Jing's abilities were impressive, they were still within an acceptable range.

As he walked, Hu Bayi seemed to realize something: "I understand now. The reason I didn't find it was because I forgot that there was a landslide here before. The mountaintop became the foot of the mountain, and the foot of the mountain became the mountaintop."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing looked at Hu Bayi with approval and said, "Not bad, you have quite a bit of talent."

Soon, the group arrived at the place where they had previously encountered the man with the tattooed arms disguised as a bear. After walking for a while, they found the spot where the bear had previously appeared.

In front of a tree, they saw many signs of previous human-bear activity.

Clearly, this is the place everyone is looking for.

Then, the group worked together to knock down the big tree, and sure enough, the next moment, they saw a large, dark hole exposed beneath the tree.

Clearly, this should be the location of the Da Xian Temple.

Everyone craned their necks to look down, but the cave was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything.

Immediately afterwards, a strange noise suddenly came from the cave, which startled everyone.

Chapter 33 Ghost Yamen

Sun Qiaoshan looked at the cave entrance. Although he seemed calm, Bai Jing saw excitement in his eyes.

However, it was destined to disappoint Sun Qiaoshan.

The thrush looked at the cave entrance and said, "This should be it."

Upon hearing this, the fat man asked with some confusion, "What is that?"

Hua Mei seemed to realize that she had let something slip and for a moment didn't know how to answer the fat man's question.

Finally, Sun Qiaoshan seemed to give Huamei a look, and Huamei then spoke: "What is called the entrance to the Yama's Palace is the legendary Yama's Palace. Anyone who enters it will become a wandering ghost and will never be able to return to the mortal world."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi pursed his lips, then looked at Huamei and Sun Qiaoshan, and said calmly, "That's interesting. It seems we've come to the right place."

The fat man added, "These are all remnants of feudal superstition. Now that satellites are in space and atomic bombs have exploded, what's there to be afraid of?"

Yanzi seemed to have heard the legend as well, and immediately pulled the two of them aside, saying, "You two shouldn't be so smug, it's all true. I've heard it from the old folks in the village."

Bai Jing said, "Never mind, that's not important. Let's go down and check the situation first."

With that, Bai Jing took the lead and entered the cave.

Following closely behind were Hu Bayi, and then Wang Kaixuan. Seeing that the three of them had already gone down, the remaining Yanzi, Sun Qiaoshan, and Huamei quickly followed.

The opening is angled downwards, so you can only move forward by bending over, and sometimes you even have to crawl on your stomach to get through.

And so, led by Bai Jing, the group walked with flashlights for an unknown amount of time before finally seeing the exit.

This is a very narrow platform.

Below the platform lies an abyss.

The fat man almost fell down because he came out in such a hurry.

Fortunately, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi stopped him.

The fat man finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old Bai, Old Hu, this is an abyss."

The group remained silent, each shining their flashlights in various directions.

Immediately afterwards, everyone noticed that, corresponding to this platform, there was another platform on the opposite side.

Behind that platform, there was a stone gate with a stone pillar on each side. There seemed to be some kind of pattern carved on it, but because it was too far away and the place was somewhat dark, it was impossible to see what the pattern was.

Then, Sun Qiaoshan's completely emotionless voice came from behind.

"That's the gate!"

Bai Jing kept an eye on Sun Qiaoshan's expression. He could tell that although Sun Qiaoshan had no expression on his face, he was probably secretly overjoyed.

After all, his years of planning were finally about to succeed.
