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

"Okay, I've been in Hangzhou for almost half a month, it's time to get some exercise. When are we leaving?"

Ah Ning smiled and took out a check for 600,000 yuan from her handbag and placed it on the table.

"I will personally pick up Boss Li the day after tomorrow morning."

Upon seeing the check, Li Changsheng, though not short of money, at least felt quite favorable toward A Ning.

At least they're genuinely willing to spend money, unlike Wu Sansheng who's stingy and it's incredibly difficult to get business from him.

Watching A Ning leave, Li Changsheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. Before he could put the teacup down, Wu Xie rushed over.

As luck would have it, he also met someone at Wu Shan Ju. The man was named Zhang Hao, a middle-aged bald man who claimed to be an employee of a marine resource exploration company. He said that his third uncle was trapped at sea in the Xisha Islands and that the ship he borrowed from the company had also lost contact. He hoped that Wu Xie would go with him to find Wu Sansheng.

Wu Xie was undecided, which is why he came to ask Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng's heart stirred, and he roughly understood Qiu Dekao's thoughts.

Jude Kao planned to split his forces into two groups: one to go to Wang Zanghai's tomb, and the other to go to the southwest.

However, Jude Kao was unaware that Zhang Hao, who worked for his company, was actually Zhang Qiling in disguise, and had been infiltrating the company for many years.

With this in mind, Li Changsheng decided to try and sow discord between Wu Sansheng and Wu Sansheng.

"Wu Xie, don't you find it strange?"

"I've always found it strange that Zhang the Bald looks vaguely familiar, but I don't think I've ever seen him before. Isn't that odd!"

"What I mean is, the Wu family is so big, do they really need you to find Uncle San? Your Second Uncle has so many men under him and such a large operation; his information network is definitely better than yours. Why doesn't he go find him himself and instead makes you go?"

Before Wu Xie could speak, Li Changsheng interrupted him and continued.

"Besides, everyone has their own expertise. You're an architecture student, and you're not good at finding people. I suggest you call the police."

Call...call the police?!

Wu Xie's eyes widened immediately, and he quickly waved his hand.

"Brother, you're joking. My third uncle's profession isn't suitable for calling the police."

Wu Xie was also afraid that if his third uncle was alright, he might end up in jail.

After all, being a tomb raider is not a legitimate profession.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that what Li Changsheng said made sense.

Since my third uncle has gone missing, of course I have to look for my second uncle.

If all else fails, you can always contact your father. Wu Xie's father is a geology professor and has connections in the government; he can always help you inquire.

Having made up his mind, Wu Xie nodded and said, "Thank you, brother. I know what to do. That bald guy of mine doesn't seem like a good person. I'll figure out a way myself and not get on his bandwagon."

After saying that, Wu Xie hurriedly left again.

He was clearly persuaded and prepared to go find Wu Erbai.

Li Changsheng had no idea how things would develop from there, because he was already carrying the black coffin and had gotten into the SUV that A Ning had driven.

Ah Ning looked at the eerie black coffin, her heart filled with curiosity, eager to uncover the truth inside. However, she didn't show it on her face, only saying coquettishly, "Even if Boss Li wants to take this black coffin, he can arrange for it to be shipped. Driving all the way to the southwest is not an easy task."

"I can't do it. This black coffin can't leave my vicinity by more than three hundred paces, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what will happen?"

"you guess!"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly, casually placed the black coffin in the back seat, then sat in the front passenger seat, staring intently at A Ning.

Today she wore a casual denim jacket and a short skirt, revealing her fair and slender thighs, and her hair was simply tied in a ponytail.

Being so close, and in such a confined space, Li Changsheng could even smell the jasmine fragrance emanating from her.

Ah Ning glanced at the black coffin through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but recall what Wu Sansheng had once said.

The gist of it is that there might be some great secret hidden inside this black coffin.

It was precisely because Qiu Dekao learned of these things that he launched the company in the Southwest Wuxia Coffin Mountain and invested a large amount of resources and manpower.

On the one hand, he wanted to use this Boss Li in front of him to explore the bottom of the ominous tomb in the coffin mountain and see if it contained any clues to immortality. On the other hand, he also wanted to find out about Li Changsheng.

Therefore, he had Zhang Hao and A Ning split into two groups.

However, Jude Kao had no idea that Zhang the Bald, who had been working in the company for many years, was actually the Zhang family patriarch he had been longing to meet for so long.

Hangzhou is thousands of miles away from the Wu Gorge in the southwest, a long and arduous journey.

If you take a plane, it will only take half a day to get there.

But if you drive, it will take at least two days.

During the journey, Ah Ning probably wanted to test Li Changsheng, and inadvertently mentioned their destination, the situation in Wuxia Gorge.

"Mr. Li, you may not know this, but near the silver mine our company discovered, there is a Ming Dynasty tomb complex. However, the tombs are surrounded by traps and mechanisms, making them difficult to enter. As you know, the government is currently promoting the protection of cultural relics, but many projects cannot proceed whenever ancient tombs are discovered. Therefore, after discussing with the local government, our company plans to find a way to enter the tombs and move the cultural relics and coffins inside."

Ah Ning's words are nine parts true and one part false.

The truth is that Jude Kao does indeed own a company called Pansuo Geological Exploration, and it is indeed employed by the local Wushan County government. They discovered an ancient tomb and are even planning to relocate it in conjunction with the government so that they can start mining operations.

Surrounded by mountains in the southwest, with hardly any flat land, the discovery of a silver mine was a rare opportunity. It could solve local employment issues and boost the economy, so the local government naturally didn't want to miss out on this opportunity by protecting the ancient tomb.

If the ancient tomb could be moved out and a museum built directly, it would not only generate ticket revenue but also ensure the smooth progress of the mining project, killing two birds with one stone.

The part of Ah Ning's story that was false was that their company went there specifically for this ancient tomb!

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng roughly determined which burial complex Aning was referring to.

Located in the southwest, near Wushan County, and being a cluster of Ming Dynasty tombs, it could only be Dixian Village, belonging to the Feng family, the Guanshan Taibao of the Ming Dynasty.

Feng Shigu of Dixian Village was indeed a remarkable person. He painstakingly figured out the method to become a Corpse Immortal, and after sacrificing the entire Feng family, he became a Corpse Immortal.

Based on Hu Bayi and his companions' experiences, Feng Shigu could easily manipulate celestial phenomena, indicating that his strength was far superior to that of the Prince of Xian.

If it were before Zhelong Mountain, Li Changsheng might not have had a chance of winning.

But now that he has the Dual Hands and the Spring and Autumn Chan, and the power of the Golden Light Mantra has increased significantly, it won't be difficult for him to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng shifted his gaze from A Ning's chest and calmly said, "This is a good thing."

Ah Ning casually added, "Later, after our company's research, we discovered that this ancient tomb complex is the tomb of Guanshan Taibao. It is said that a deity emerged from Guanshan Taibao, who was omnipotent and even mastered the art of immortality. Therefore, this burial ground was called Earth Immortal Village!"

At this point, she seemed casual, but in reality, she had already pricked up her ears and focused her attention on Li Changsheng.

"This kind of nonsense is just a result of the ignorance of the common people in ancient times, spreading misinformation. What do you think, Boss Li?"
