Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

After passing the front hall, the rear hall is completely embedded in the mountain.

Passing through the corridor, a jade screen stands tall.

This jade stone was sourced locally and dug out from the mountain.

It's clear that the craftsmen put a lot of thought and effort into building this temple.

The two walked around the emerald screen and immediately saw nine stone toad sculptures placed in the center of the rear hall.

These toad stone sculptures are more than half a person tall, with their faces in various directions, seemingly conforming to some kind of formation.

Wu Xie glanced at it and said with surprise, "This seems to be the Nine-Bend Revolving Formation from the Shaking Dragon Scripture."

Li Changsheng was quite surprised and glanced at him before asking.

"Can you understand it?"

"Hehe, my grandfather taught me a bit of the Shaking Dragon Scripture when I was a child. I don't remember it all, but I do remember this Nine-Bend Revolving Formation."

The "Hanlong Jing" (撼龙经), also known as the "Yilong Jing" (易龙经), is a treasured book that almost every Feng Shui master possesses.

Moreover, it, along with the Burial Classic written by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty, is known as one of the two great books in the field of burial studies.

Moreover, tomb raiders from the north generally studied Guo Pu's "Burial Classic," while tomb raiders from the south revered the "Shaking Dragon Classic."

For example, there was a tomb raider in the north named Yao who studied the Book of Burial for many years. After mastering it, he could tell where there was a large tomb in the area just by looking around.

After the burial site is located, as long as you dig downwards according to the points he drew, you can almost always reach the main burial chamber directly.

With this unique skill in hand, this tomb raider surnamed Yao quickly became known as Master Yao in the industry, and even led his gang to open nine large tombs in one year.

Later, a terrible teammate showed up and boasted to his girlfriend about finding a large tomb, which led to the entire team being brought to justice.

This incident teaches us that we must be very careful when choosing teammates, and we must never choose incompetent teammates.

Li Changsheng nodded and asked, "Can you break this formation?"

"I can't guarantee it, but I can give it a try."

Wu Xie was eager to try it out and wanted to know whether the Dragon-Shaking Scripture he had learned from his grandfather would actually work.

After saying that, he walked to the nine toad stone sculptures, but instead of taking action, he wandered around them several times.

Then I tried to handle the stone carving and found that the toad's mouth and body could move.

Wu Xie clapped his hands and turned to say, "Big brother, this Nine-Bend Loop Formation must be arranged in the correct order from left to right. If you make a mistake three times, the mechanisms inside will lock up completely, rendering the mechanism ineffective."

The implication is that this formation has a self-destruct mechanism, so extreme caution is necessary.

Wu Xie untied the Chicago typewriter from his back, then stepped forward and pushed the toad stone sculptures one by one. A moment later, the entire mountain god temple began to shake rapidly.

Wu Xie was startled and hurriedly put the toad statue back in its place, only then did the shaking of the ground stop.

"No, this mechanism is probably deep inside the mountain. If it's not positioned correctly, the mountain god temple might collapse on the spot."

Li Changsheng crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "It's alright, go ahead and try. With me here, you won't die."

Hearing this, Wu Xie immediately felt more confident and became bolder.

He nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely not let you down."

Li Changsheng would not be disappointed. Even if the formation could not be broken, he would still be able to find the entrance to the secret passage.

After all, he has a living, breathing map in his mind!

Moreover, even without a system map, it is known that the secret passage is located under a gourd-shaped stone sculpture near the mountain god temple. Finding the gourd-shaped stone sculpture is equivalent to finding the entrance to the secret passage.

Wu Xie cheered himself up in his heart, then took a deep breath and tried hard to recall the records about the Nine Turns and Revolving Scripture in the Shaking Dragon Scripture.

He spontaneously recited a passage from the "Shaking Dragon Classic" about the Nine-Bend Reincarnation!

"First, the opening should be transformed; second, the ears should reach the sky; third, the shrimp whiskers and crab eyes should be present; fourth, it should spiral left and right; fifth, it should be stopped up and down; sixth, the sand base should be turned; seventh, the bright hall should be open; eighth, the water mouth should be closed; ninth, the bright hall should welcome the sun; tenth, it should be winding and looping..."

As he recited, his hands also continuously pushed the faces of the toad stone carvings, arranging them one by one.

This time, breaking the formation went much more smoothly. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the formation was finally broken as the last stone sculpture was adjusted to face the right direction.

However, Wu Xie waited for a while but did not hear any mechanism turning.

Meanwhile, the entire mountain temple was unusually quiet, and no earthquake occurred.

Just as Wu Xie was scratching his head in confusion, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from outside the mountain god temple.

"Who is it?"

Wu Xie was taken aback, and hurriedly walked out of the mountain god temple with Li Changsheng.

On the side of the mountain god temple, in a corner of a valley hidden by vines, two figures were standing in front of a cracked gourd-shaped stone carving.

These two figures were none other than Professor Sun, who had come to Zhelong Village for an inspection, and his student, Sun Xiaomei!

At this moment, Professor Sun was completely different from the gentle and refined person he had been a few days ago. His face was full of a twisted smile, his eyes were fixed on the cracked gourd stone carving, and he was muttering to himself.

"For over a thousand years! I never imagined that my people's dream would finally be realized in my hands!"

"Hahaha, heavens have mercy! My Zhelong clan is finally about to achieve immortality!"

The Zhelong Clan?! Immortality?!

Wu Xie was puzzled by Professor Sun's words and subconsciously asked, "Little sister, what's wrong with Professor Sun?"

Professor Sun gave a soft hum, finally managing to tear his gaze away from the cracked gourd-shaped stone carving.

He looked at Wu Xie and Li Changsheng, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank you two. If it weren't for you, how would I have found the secret passage to the tomb of the King of Xian?"

However, after saying the last word, Professor Sun suddenly changed his tone and became harsh.

"Little sister, go and kill those two bastards."

Sun Xiaomei blankly pulled a pistol from her bosom. Judging from its appearance, it was probably homemade.

But at such close range, even a homemade pistol would be enough to kill.

Wu Xie froze instantly, looking at Sun Xiaomei with disbelief.

Just a few days ago she was a student, and today she's a female assassin wielding a pistol, ready to steal souls and take lives!

At this moment, Wu Xie felt extremely regretful. He had forgotten to bring the Chicago typewriter with him, which put him in a very passive position.

While Wu Xie was still in shock, he noticed that Sun Xiaomei across from him also had a struggle in her eyes, so he quickly tried to persuade her.

"Little sister, don't be impulsive! Murder is illegal! Let's talk this over."

Sun Xiaomei hesitated for a long time before turning to Professor Sun and saying, "Dad, Professor Li and Brother Wu were able to unravel the formations inside the temple, so they must know how to break the mechanisms. Taking them into the tomb will give us a better chance of success."

Upon hearing this, Professor Sun's face instantly darkened.

He looked at Sun Xiaomei, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

But after thinking for a while, he snorted and agreed.

"I knew you'd be soft-hearted; you wouldn't even kill Ma Liang."

Upon hearing the name Ma Liang, Wu Xie instantly became excited.

He seemed to have forgotten that someone was pointing a gun at him, and began to question them loudly.

"What did you do to Ma Liang?"

"Don't worry, he's not dead. But if you dare not cooperate, Ma Liang's life might be in danger."

Professor Sun made a threat, then pointed at Li Changsheng, who was carrying the black coffin and still watching the show.

"You go down first, and don't try anything funny."

Li Changsheng shrugged, not caring about Professor Sun, but also not intending to make a move immediately.

Instead, he walked straight into the gourd's crack!
