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

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing followed up, saying, "Coincidentally, among the 360 ​​trades, there are 72 trades of outlaws. But whether it's the 72 trades with a system of inheritance or the 72 trades of outlaws, the tomb raiding lineage is the best among them."

In particular, the lineage of the "Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raiders" and the "Captain of the Tomb Raiders" is vast and profound. A qualified Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raiders or Captain of the Tomb Raiders is also a feng shui master, a martial artist, a writer, and a doctor.

It can be said that a fully-fledged tomb raider or grave robber is a walking treasure trove of knowledge, proficient in various fields of study. Therefore, there's a saying: "Of the seventy-two professions, tomb raiding is king, and tomb raiders are the king of kings."

At this point, Bai Jing paused for a moment, then looked at Hu Bayi and said, "And our old Hu is a descendant of the tomb raiders with a legitimate lineage."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi quickly explained, "Old Bai, don't talk nonsense. I'm a self-taught person and have never done tomb raiding before. I can only say that I know this skill, but I have no intention of working in this industry. I don't know it now, and I don't know it in the future."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing dismissed Hu Bayi's words as nonsense and waited for him to be proven wrong later.

Ding Sitian agreed with what Bai Jing said, and then asked, "What exactly is inside the tomb?"

Upon hearing this, Yanzi laughed and said, "You want to know what's in the tomb? It'll scare you to death if I tell you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Sitian became even more curious and immediately asked, "What kinds are there?"

ah?"

Hu Bayi had only been to the Huang Xiangu Temple and the Ghost Government Office. In the end, these two places were temples, not tombs. So, Hu Bayi replied, "I don't know either, but if you really want to know, you can ask Huamei."

Upon hearing this, the thrush frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Jing turned around and sized up Hua Mei, then glanced at Lao Yangpi, and said with a half-smile, "I could tell from when we were at the Ghost Yamen that your father, Uncle Qiaoshan, must be a member of the Mud Society, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks.

The thrush naturally knew that Ni'er could do it, and the old sheepskin was even more certain.

Among those present, Ding Sitian was probably the only one who didn't quite understand what Bai Jing and the others were talking about.

Then Bai Jing said, "My father had a comrade-in-arms named Feng Xuewen. Have you heard of him?"

This is Bai Jing making things up. His father, Bai Banla, doesn't know Feng Xuewen at all, but that doesn't stop Bai Jing from fooling others.

No one else can confront Feng Xuewen now, right?

Upon hearing this, the others didn't quite understand what it meant, but Old Sheepskin's expression changed instantly.

They are all too familiar with this name.

Feng Xuewen joined Changsheng Mountain as a bandit around the same time as Lao Yangpi and his younger brother Yang Erdan. Later, they went to Northeast China together and joined the Nier Society.

Later, after the Japanese army entered Northeast China, Feng Xuewen, due to ideological differences, was unwilling to work for the Japanese and withdrew from the Nier Society.

Naturally, Old Sheepskin must have known Feng Xuewen.

Before anyone else could react, Bai Jing continued, "My father and Uncle Feng were soldiers in the same regiment. They went to the Korean War together and were discharged together. At that time, Uncle Feng told my father a lot about the Mud Society."

At this point, Bai Jing looked at Old Sheepskin and said, word by word, "Chang Sheng Mountain, Ni Er Hui!"

Upon hearing this, Old Sheepskin was struck dumb.

He never imagined that in his lifetime, besides meeting Sun Qiaoshan, he would also encounter someone who knew Feng Xuewen.

Of course, he had no idea that Bai Jing was making things up.

Besides, very few people know what Bai Jing is talking about, especially the part about Changsheng Mountain.

Bai Jing ignored the old sheepskin and looked at Hua Mei, saying, "Remember to keep your eyes open and remember what the instructor said: distinguish who your enemy is and who your friend is."

After saying that, he ignored the bewildered crowd and immediately set off.

The others were all bewildered, completely unaware of what Bai Jing was talking about.

After hearing Bai Jing's words, Old Sheepskin hesitated for a moment, but quickly followed suit.

He desperately wanted to understand what was going on.

The north wind howled all the way, and because it was winter, the ground was already covered with snow. The group could only proceed cautiously, and they had been walking for several hours.

As a result, the water they brought had long been drunk up.

Because he hadn't had water for a long time, and the weather was cold, Old Sheepskin suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jing quickly went over to check on him. He immediately understood that, due to the cold weather and the lack of water, the old sheepskin seemed to be suffering from hypothermia.

Moreover, Bai Jing noticed that the others seemed to have some symptoms of hypothermia.

Chapter 51 Arrival at the Hundred-Eyed Cave

Whether it was Bai Jing and his group's good luck or not, there was a well not far from where Old Sheepskin fainted.

Bai Jing remembered that in the original story, there was weasel urine in this well, and the weasel had cursed it, causing anyone who drank the water to fall into hallucinations.

Bai Jing immediately filled the kettle with water and smelled it. He then discovered that there was no smell of weasel urine. Clearly, the water had not been cursed by the weasel.

It seems that because he released a few weasels back then, those weasels did not retaliate against Bai Jing and the others.

However, it's freezing cold now, and if you drink this water directly, you'll likely cause problems even if you're not in any danger.

Immediately, Bai Jing took out a small pot from his backpack, which he had brought with him before setting off.

Now it's coming in handy.

Bai Jing quickly gathered some shrub branches from the grassland, lit a fire, poured water into the pot, and began to boil the water.

The entire boiling process lasted about an hour, and by then everyone's kettles were full of boiling water.

Taking this opportunity, the group gathered around the fire to warm themselves for a while. The fat man even threw some sweet potatoes he had brought into the fire to roast.

I don't know if I didn't control the heat well, but the sweet potatoes were overcooked. Each sweet potato had a thick layer of charcoal on it.

But the group didn't mind and just ate it anyway.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group continued their journey.

Not long after leaving the location of the well, Bai Jing and the others saw a fork in the road.

Soon, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi figured out the correct direction.

Then, everyone saw two stone tablets on the ground.

One of the pieces was carved with a large python, while the other was carved with a human-bodied, beast-headed Wong Tai Sin, just like the ones they had seen before at the Wong Xiangu Temple and the Ghost Office.

Clearly, everyone is very close to the location of the Hundred-Eyed Cave.

Seeing this, Bai Jing also spoke up, "It seems we'll be at Hundred Eyes Cave soon."

As he spoke, Bai Jing gazed into the distance and noticed several mountains in the distance.

These mountains weren't particularly high, but Bai Jing could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary.

Bai Jing naturally knew that the Hundred-Eyed Cave was actually a place where turtles slept.

Of all the auspicious feng shui formations in the world, the dragon vein is the most prominent, but the Turtle Sleeping Ground is no exception.

Turtle Sleeping Ground, as the name suggests, is the place where old sea turtles, knowing their days are numbered, crawl onto land to bury their bones.

Turtles have a long lifespan, and old sea turtles need no further explanation.

According to the legend of the Turtle's Sleeping Place, someone on the beach saw a black mountain suddenly emerge from the sea. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was actually dozens of old turtles carrying a dead giant turtle out of the sea.

These old turtles carried the dead turtle to a cave under a cliff and hid it there before gradually leaving to swim back to the sea.

At that time, someone secretly witnessed all of this. This person was extremely skilled in geomancy and site selection. Through observation, he discovered that this site was blessed by the four auspicious spirits.

The cave was filled with "dragon energy soaring to the sky," and at that time, an ancestor in his family had passed away. So, after investigating the tortoise corpse in the cave, he...

They buried their ancestors naked inside the coffin instead of using a coffin.

After that, this person rose rapidly through the ranks, achieving great success and even establishing a powerful regional empire.

The Turtle Cave later became the exclusive burial site for his clan. Hundreds of years later, when the dragon's energy was exhausted, the earth dragon turned over, revealing countless corpses. The locals flocked to see them and discovered that all the corpses were covered in bird feathers and dragon scales, making them look incredibly lifelike.

It wasn't until the sea breeze had carried the bodies for a full day and night that they all vanished simultaneously.

Ancient Feng Shui principles state: A burial site where the tortoise sleeps gathers water, ensuring good fortune and vitality that is difficult to change over time! A fertile and auspicious site ensures the peace of the deceased and brings blessings to future generations.

In short, the place where turtles sleep is an excellent feng shui treasure land.

Although Bai Jing has not yet entered the Turtle Sleeping Ground to take a look, he can already tell from the outside that this mountain is extraordinary.

Seeing this, Bai Jing laughed and said, "It seems we're only one step away from success."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi looked at Bai Jing, not understanding why Bai Jing said that. Bai Jing did not explain, but walked straight ahead.

Hu Bayi stopped to look at the distant mountains again, but couldn't figure it out, probably because he was looking from the wrong angle.

So Hu Bayi called out to everyone, "Comrades, the revolution is about to succeed. Let's all work harder and victory is just around the corner."

The others also saw the distant mountains, their faces filled with joy. After walking for so long, they were finally about to arrive, and Huamei couldn't wait to speed up.

Seeing this, the group also began to move forward more quickly.

As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," meaning that even though you can see the mountain, actually getting there is not an easy task.

And so, the group walked for another hour or two, crossing the snow and finally arriving outside the Hundred Eyes Cave before sunset. The sun was about to set, and the sky was gradually darkening.

And this Hundred-Eyed Cave is just as its name suggests, as if countless caves are connected together, looking densely packed. Although it is called the Hundred-Eyed Cave, there are far more than a hundred caves in it.

As Bai Jing looked closely at the Hundred-Eyed Cave before him, the more he looked, the more it resembled the "Gate of Hell" of Kunlun Mountain recorded in the "Tomb Catalogue".

Although Bai Jing didn't know the connection between them, he had no intention of investigating them at the moment.

He just wants to resolve the trouble in the Hundred-Eyed Cave as soon as possible, obtain the Eyeless Dragon Talisman, and see if he can glean any insights from it.
