The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

This trip to the mine is almost a sure thing.

The only one to watch out for is Riku himself.

But this time, they brought quite a few people. Sixty fully armed men guarded the valley entrance. In Changsha territory, the Japanese, who were restrained, could not cause any trouble.

If Riku himself dares to come, I'll just bury them in these mountains and that'll be the end of it.

...........................

After a brief incident, Fang Yun walked to the front of the group and led them deeper into the valley.

This valley is a place that Zhang Qishan's personal guards have never explored.

Because the valley was very deep, Zhang's personal guards did not risk going deeper.

This walk took four hours.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the group reached the end of the valley.

Before us lies a hillside, only about a hundred meters high, covered with lush ancient trees and vines.

"Brother Fang, the road has come to an end. Is there a feng shui spot here?"

Seeing that there was no way to go, Zhang Qishan became anxious and walked over to Fang Yun to ask a question.

(bjbd)

"Have."

Fang Yun nodded, put away the golden compass, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“The paths we took after entering the mountains were all auspicious feng shui spots.”

“The mass grave in this mine is a rare anthropomorphic tomb.”

"Human tomb?!"

As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, Qi Tiezui's expression changed.

He borrowed a topographical map of the mining area from Zhang Qishan and examined it carefully, his expression growing increasingly grave.

Seeing Qi Tiezui's expression change drastically, Zhang Qishan frowned and looked at Fang Yun.

"Brother Fang, what kind of burial form is this human-shaped tomb?"

Fang Yun pondered for a moment and then gave a brief explanation.

"Human-shaped tombs, as the name suggests, are tombs shaped like humans. They are built according to the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body and are very rare."

"Generally speaking, human-shaped tombs are large group burial tombs, and they are divided into two types: tombs for the living and tombs for the dead."

“These kinds of tombs have a lot of traps. Tombs for the living are a little better, as you can rely on patterns to solve the traps. But if it’s a tomb for the dead, the traps are completely unpredictable, and you can only force your way in.”

"And the human-shaped tombs at the bottom of the mine have already been entered... Even if they were tombs for the living before, they will now become tombs for the dead."

After saying that, Fang Yun shrugged and laughed.

"That's precisely why we don't need to worry too much."

"After all, most of the mechanisms in the tomb have already been activated, so we probably won't run into them."

Huo Sanniang, who was watching from the side, chimed in with her arms crossed and a smile.

"What Mr. Fang said makes sense."

“Buddha, those people from the Ri people, as well as the clansmen of Second Master and Eighth Master, have all been down into this tomb. Even if there are traps in the tomb, they should have explored it to a great extent by now.”

“Yes.” Zhang Qishan nodded seriously. “No matter how dangerous the tomb is, we must continue exploring this mine.”

"Brother Fang, could you determine a burial site here? I will immediately arrange for my personal guards to dig a tunnel!"

"No need to dig a tunnel."

Fang Yun replied calmly, pointing to the hilltop in front of him.

Everyone looked in the direction Fang Yun pointed.

Upon closer inspection, a small tower could be seen appearing at the top of the slope.

"pagoda?"

Zhang Qishan's expression brightened.

On the other side of Napo Peak, there is a temple!

(There is no definitive information on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. The meaning of the ring-pommel sword is that the tip is round. There are several versions in history, and the sources are different.)

(The most common ring-pommel sword is the weapon used by the Imperial Guards on TV, as well as the mainstream thin curved sword of the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties. There was no nine-ringed broadsword in any of the four versions of the era.)

(It's called a knife because it's single-edged, like a small broadsword, suitable for chopping. Everyone knows about the Black Gold Ancient Sword, you can call it a knife or a sword.)

(As I clearly stated before, this weight is incorrect; it's a system-specific setting. Why insist on it? There are so many versions available; you can substitute your own.)

(Please, I'm begging you, I've said it so many times, there have been many changes, please stop criticizing.)

Chapter 189: One Glance Determines the Dragon Tower!

“Buddha, that’s not a Buddhist pagoda, it’s a Taoist Wuji Pagoda.”

Qi Tiezui glanced around, shook his head, and spoke with a hint of disdain.

“Buddhists wouldn’t build temples in such desolate mountains and forests; they wouldn’t be able to collect donations here.”

He was a Taoist and looked down on Buddhism, which advocated escaping worldly affairs during times of chaos and emerging into the world during times of prosperity.

now.

The number of Taoists is decreasing, simply because those who do exist are dying on the battlefield.

Qi Tiezui's words were pointed, and everyone understood.

However, at this moment, no one had time to discuss Taoism or Buddhism.

After scanning the slope in front of him for a moment, Fang Yun found a relatively easy mountain path.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow.

"Let's go up and take a look."

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the entrance to the mass grave."

......................

Although the slope is steep, its height is only average.

The team consisted of over twenty skilled individuals, and they crossed the slope in just a few minutes.

Standing at the top of the slope, looking down.

In the middle of a desolate forest, there stands a martial arts school.

The Taoist temple had been abandoned for a long time, and even most of the courtyard walls had collapsed.

Apart from three mud-brick halls and a Wuji Pagoda, there are only wild grass and withered trees in the temple.

Following the slope downhill, the group soon arrived at the Taoist temple.

"Look around."

As soon as they entered the Taoist temple, Zhang Qishan and Huo Sanniang ordered their men to spread out and investigate.

There were only three Taoist halls in this Taoist temple, and it wasn't long before the Zhang and Huo families had thoroughly investigated them.

"Buddha."

Deputy Zhang led his men back to the courtyard and reported to Zhang Qishan.

"This Taoist temple has been empty for over a hundred years; even the plaque is rotten."

"In the three main halls, all the statues and shrines had been taken away, leaving nothing behind."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qishan was taken aback and looked at Fang Yun.

"Brother Fang, do you intend to dig a tunnel here?"

There's nothing mysterious about this Taoist temple. Fang Yun brought the team here because he probably needs to dig a tunnel from here.

Fang Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled:

“I told you, there’s no need to dig a tunnel; there must be an entrance inside this Taoist temple.”

"This... is the Shenque acupoint of the Human-shaped Tomb."

"I understand!"

Zhang Qishan, Huo Sanniang, and the others all looked puzzled, but Qi Tiezui shouted out excitedly.

"This is the Shenque acupoint, which is located at the center of the navel!"

"The human-shaped tomb is made according to the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body, and there are acupoints on the meridians."

"Going down from this Shenque acupoint will take you directly to the center of the human-shaped tomb!"

"This is a Taoist temple... The Tao is boundless, and the boundless suppresses evil. The entrance is around the Wuji Pagoda!"

As soon as Qi Tiezui finished speaking, Zhang the adjutant immediately got to work.

After walking around the Wuji Pagoda, I found a blue stone brick in the overgrown ground.
