Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

As is well known, Yongling is the mausoleum of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. However, the area around the Thirteen Tombs is not yet well managed, nor has it been developed into a formal tourist area. There are no dedicated ticket offices, and the number of tourists visiting the area is extremely small on weekdays.

Occasionally, groups of young students will come here to cycle and enjoy a peaceful moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

But at this moment, all around was quiet, not a single person could be seen, only the rustling of the wind through the leaves.

After a moment's thought, Chen Wenqi slowly spread out his spiritual power, probing deep underground into the Ming Tombs, hoping to make some unexpected discoveries.

"what?"

A look of surprise appeared on Chen Wenqi's face. He had not had high expectations for this, because the overall area of ​​the Thirteen Tombs was too vast, and the scale of Yongling was also quite large. With his current mental power detection range of only ten meters, he did not expect to find any valuable burial objects.

To his utter surprise, a tomb was hidden three or four meters underground beneath his feet.

The tomb chamber is lined with neatly arranged bookshelves, making the entire chamber appear exceptionally spacious. The bookshelves are piled high with ancient books that have stood the test of time.

He couldn't help but wonder to himself: Could it be that this Jiajing Emperor was such a book lover that even after his death, he wanted to take so many books with him as burial goods?

Thinking of this, Chen Wenqi had a slight thought and immediately used his methods to collect all the bookshelves in the entire tomb, along with all the books on them, into the exclusive warehouse of the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

The underground library, which was once as big as a basketball court, was suddenly empty, with no trace of any items left.

Chen Wenqi once again activated his spiritual power, meticulously sensing the surrounding environment, wanting to investigate whether there were any other tombs nearby.

The results of the investigation did not disappoint him. In the adjacent tomb chambers, there were indeed many priceless precious porcelains, exquisite bronzes, and various gold and silver artifacts.

After a moment's thought, Chen Wenqi no longer hesitated and collected all the items in the tomb chamber that his spiritual power could reach into the secret realm warehouse.

As for the main burial chamber of Yongling, it was too far away and buried too deep for Chen Wenqi's spiritual power to reach, so he did not choose to forcibly explore it.

After all, beneath the main burial chamber lies the remains of an emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be inappropriate to disturb the emperor's coffin at will.

He looked up at the sky; the sun was already setting, and he estimated it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Without wasting a moment, Chen Wenqi flashed slightly and entered the Xuanwu Secret Realm directly.

He quickly found the spatial coordinates he had left in that secluded alley outside Nanluoguxiang, and then emerged from the secret realm.

He was carrying a wild rabbit that was still kicking and struggling in his hand. He strode forward and headed straight for the courtyard house where he lived.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard, immediately noticed the wild rabbit in Chen Wenqi's hand.

The wild rabbit looked to weigh at least four or five pounds, with glossy and smooth fur and a very robust physique. Yan Bugui's eyes immediately lit up.

"Chen Wenqi, where did you get this rabbit? It's quite big!" Yan Bugui quickly stepped forward and asked eagerly.

"Of course I caught it myself in the suburbs. How could I have waited for it to come to me and picked it up for free?" Chen Wenqi replied casually without looking up.

"Look at what you're saying, kid. This rabbit is so big, your whole family definitely can't finish it. How about we share some with your third uncle so you can have a taste?" Yan Bugui said shamelessly, his tone carrying a hint of flattery.

Chen Wenqi glanced coldly at Yan Bugui. He was already used to Yan's greedy and opportunistic attitude, and he didn't bother to argue with him anymore. He picked up the rabbit and walked straight towards the backyard.

"Hey, you little brat, you have absolutely no manners!" Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath when he saw that Chen Wenqi was completely ignoring him and didn't even bother to reply.

Chen Wenqi's face instantly darkened, his steps faltered slightly, and he cursed inwardly: "That old bastard Yan Bugui, you just wait, if I don't give you a taste of trouble, you really won't know when to stop."

Just as they reached the middle courtyard, Jia Zhangshi, who lived there, saw the wild rabbit Chen Wenqi was carrying. She immediately stood up from under her eaves, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Chen Wenqi, where did you steal this rabbit from? I bet you stole it!"

Chen Wenqi didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, having no intention of paying any attention to Jia Zhangshi. Without pausing at all, he continued walking towards the backyard.

"You little beast, stop right there! Help! Everyone come quick! The little beast of the Chen family is stealing!" Seeing that Chen Wenqi ignored her, Jia Zhangshi suddenly started to throw a tantrum, shouting in a shrill voice.

Chen Wenqi felt a surge of annoyance. It was really unpleasant. Every time he brought his things into the courtyard, Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi would always jump out and disgust him.

Chen Wenqi finally lost his temper, abruptly stopped and turned around, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Jia Zhangshi. He said in a deep voice, "Jia Zhangshi, stop spouting nonsense! Do you think everyone is like your Jia family, a whole family of petty thieves?"

If you keep making trouble like this, believe me, I'll call the police right now and have them arrest you!

"You little beast, you've got a tough tongue! If it wasn't stolen, how could you have gotten your hands on such a big rabbit?" Jia Zhangshi didn't take Chen Wenqi's threat to heart at all and continued to pester him with a tantrum.

"What does it matter to you if I can get rabbits? If you're so capable, go report me to the police station and see if they'll even listen to you." Chen Wenqi was furious at Jia Zhangshi's shameless behavior and retorted angrily.

"You just wait, you just wait! I'm going to report you right now and have the police arrest you!" Jia Zhangshi shouted in a high-pitched voice, hands on her hips.
