All Heavens: Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts Starting from the Republic of China

Although it was made of paper, the sedan chair was very sturdy, just like a real sedan chair.

A young girl and such a large rat went inside, and they remained stable without showing any signs of falling apart.

Swish!

The curtains of the bridal sedan chair closed automatically.

So the gray rats and red-eyed stray dogs started playing music and singing again, carrying the sedan chair, and began to walk out of the town.

Fu Ze naturally followed closely behind.

"Follow them closely, trace their trail, and find out where their nests and burrows are. Let's wipe them out in one fell swoop and eliminate any future trouble!"

As for the girl's safety, Fu Ze believed that as long as he was there, nothing serious would go wrong.

At worst, we can just run away with her!

What's more, if I hadn't happened to discover this "rat wedding" incident today, this girl would probably be completely finished tonight...

"This white-haired rat demon is no benevolent creature! It dares to lead a group of minions directly into a human town, so its cultivation level is probably not weak. I must be careful and lest I be caught off guard and suffer a setback."

Fu Ze followed the strange wedding procession out of Sanshui Town, walked along the official road for a while, and then turned into a dense forest.

The procession moved slowly, carrying the sedan chair and swaying gently through the woods.

The white-haired rat demon was powerful, but its underlings were just wild dogs and rats that had only recently gained some intelligence. Their demonic energy was weak, their legs were short, and they walked much slower than normal people.

After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at a cemetery.

The area is surrounded by tombstones and desolate graves, which must have been there for quite some time.

Although Fu Ze wasn't particularly interested in or skilled in feng shui, he was still a member of the same esoteric school and had read several feng shui classics such as the "Burial Classic" and the "House Classic."

The layout here was so obvious that he only glanced at it a few times and knew that this cemetery was located in a "gathering place of yin".

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, and with only a stagnant pool nearby, the cemetery is situated at the lowest point, where yin energy from all directions converges from the higher ground…

No wonder it can nurture such a powerful and monstrous creature!

If left unchecked, even bigger problems may arise over time.

"Luckily, I'm here today! I'll rid the people of this scourge. First, I'll eliminate that rat demon, then break the yin-gathering feng shui of this graveyard."

The wedding procession, accompanied by music and fanfare, moved through the cemetery and finally arrived at a low slope.

The area was overgrown with weeds and littered with rocks, with a collapsed ancient tombstone standing prominently in the center. The inscription was weathered and the characters were blurred, but it was clear at a glance that it was a large, centuries-old mausoleum.

The owner of this tomb was probably very wealthy and powerful during his lifetime.

"Presumably, this white-haired rat demon has usurped the ancient tomb and turned it into its lair!"

Fu Ze secretly guessed.

Then they saw the rat wedding procession, which indeed stopped in front of the large tomb.

The rat that had been banging the gong ran to a spot in front of the grave and tapped it. The tombstone then turned, making a dull thud. The tomb doors opened to the sides, and the wedding procession entered the grave!

Fu Ze naturally followed him inside, and the tomb door closed.

The tomb passage was narrow, damp, and the walls were sticky and dark.

"Luckily, this world is rich in spiritual energy, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see anything in this darkness. It would be a bit troublesome to come in rashly."

Fu Ze thought to himself.

Upon entering this large tomb, there is a spacious area, followed by a narrow passageway, and finally the main burial chamber.

After all, it's not the tomb of royalty or nobles, so it can't be made too complicated.

As soon as the bridal sedan chair stopped here, a large group of animals commonly found in tombs emerged from the passageway—presumably those that usually reside in the master bedroom.

There are rats, snakes, toads... all sorts of things that easily breed in damp and shady places.

However, Fu Ze took a look and found these to be rather ordinary.

It has no intelligence whatsoever; it is driven by instinct and subjugated by this rat spirit. It is only because it has been nourished by the yin energy in this graveyard for a long time that it is larger and more poisonous.

"Fortunately, it seems that apart from the main culprit, the most powerful ones are these four big black dogs and two big gray rats that came into the village. The rest are not a threat."

Fu Ze also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that there might be other powerful things in the grave, which would be very troublesome.

Squeak!

The white-haired rat demon lifted the sedan curtain and used its tail to lead the still unconscious girl down from the sedan.

It suddenly tilted its head back and squeaked twice.

Flames suddenly shot up from the walls around the tomb.

The eternal lamp that had been extinguished inside the tomb was relit.

The firelight was reddish, casting an eerie glow over the tomb, as if everything had been smeared with the color of blood.

Then the rat demon dragged the girl to sit facing each other in the tomb chamber, making a bowing gesture. The girl seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and also bowed her head to the rat...

Is this what they call a wedding ceremony?

The large black dogs and rats around them began to bark, as if cheering.

Looking at the bizarre things filling the graves, Fu Ze felt a chill run down his spine. An ordinary person would probably wet themselves in fear upon seeing this.

Just as the rat spirit was about to perform the final ritual, Fu Ze made his move.

He knew that once the "wedding ceremony" was completed, the girl's life force and soul would be taken away by the rat spirit.

And the final bow, which is about to succeed, should be the moment when the rat spirit is most relaxed!

Fu Ze initially intended to take out a talisman from his pocket, but after a moment's thought, he opted for a dark jujube wood dagger with a cinnabar red rope tied to the end.

This is a magic dagger made of lightning-struck wood. He found the raw material at a pharmacy in town this afternoon.

The pharmacy owner didn't know anything about this stuff and just sold it as a kind of "medicinal ingredient".

After Fu Ze discovered it, he bought it and carved and polished it into a simple magic dagger.

It must be said that although this world is chaotic and dangerous, cultivation can be improved quickly and there are many good things.

Lightning struck jujube wood!

This kind of thing, which would be considered a "treasure" in Fu Ze's world, he had asked Xu Xinyi to help him search for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable one. But here, you can find it in any pharmacy in any town.

Fu Ze, holding the magic dagger, seized the opportunity and struck decisively.

"Now is the time!"

Whoosh!

He threw the lightning-struck jujube wood dagger at the enormous rat, using a combination of hidden weapon techniques and internal force to strike it with lightning speed, emitting a sharp sound as it cut through the air.

Then... *chuckle*.

The black jujube wood dagger pierced the large rat's abdomen accurately, but no blood flowed out. Instead, a sizzling sound began to appear near the wound, further tearing it open.

He then threw the cinnabar red rope in his hand, and the originally soft thing pierced the wall of the tomb chamber like a javelin.

At the same time, the rope tightened and pulled, dragging the large rat over and pinning it to the tomb wall.

It struggled desperately, squeaking and screaming.

The whole process was smooth and seamless!

As he made his move, Fu Ze's [Netherworld Concealment Talisman] effect broke on its own, revealing him inside the tomb...
