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

On the cliff, the treacherous paths are steep and precipitous, like giant dragons winding around the mountain peaks.

The large group walked along the bird trail with utmost caution!

They feared that the monsters underground might suddenly emerge from the mountain and attack them, and they were also afraid that if they lost their footing, they would fall off a cliff hundreds of feet high.

Li Changsheng carried a huge coffin on his back, yet he seemed to be strolling leisurely.

More than an hour later, after meandering around and around, he finally stopped in front of a mountain tunnel.

Ah Ning stopped, slightly out of breath, glanced at the deep cave, and casually asked, "Are you sure this is the cave?"

Li Changsheng did not answer, but walked straight in.

"Miss Aning, should we go with them?" Mike asked hesitantly in a low voice.

"and!"

Ah Ning gritted her teeth and forced herself to chase after him.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow.

This cave is even more spacious than the Black Sheep King Altar in Coffin Gorge, and can almost accommodate several trucks passing side by side.

The marks of chiseling and carving on the cave walls clearly indicate that it was dug by humans.

Aning took out a wolf-tooth flashlight, turned it on, and chased after Li Changsheng's retreating figure.

She hadn't gone far when she discovered many murals on the cave walls.

The mural still depicts the story of the Black Sheep King.

In the story, the Black Sheep King possesses immense supernatural powers, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, and commanding a vast army of ghost soldiers.

Aning herself did not believe in such myths and legends, and still felt that it was just that the ancient people were ignorant and often could not see through the tricks of those charlatans, which is why they believed that the King of the Black Sheep really had the magic of moving mountains and filling seas.

but……

Although she didn't believe in any gods or immortals, she did believe in longevity.

Over the years, as she followed Jude Kao around the world in search of the secret to immortality, Aning also realized that there seemed to be such a long-lived family.

This family is so mysterious that any trace of them has been deliberately erased from history.

If Li Changsheng hadn't told her some time ago that Zhang Hao, an employee of the company, was a centenarian, she probably would still be in the dark.

A Ning's mind raced for a moment, but then she saw Li Changsheng stop in his tracks.

She raised her wolf-tooth flashlight and shone it, discovering an ancient corpse lying in the cave ahead!

To be precise, it was a mummified corpse dressed in Ming Dynasty clothing!

The mummified corpse's flesh and clothing had mostly weathered away, and it sat quietly deep inside the tunnel.

After observing for a moment, Ah Ning suddenly exclaimed, "There's something behind the corpse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others arrived one after another.

With a single glance from Ah Ning, her mercenaries immediately understood and stepped forward to lift the dried corpse away.

Behind the mummified corpse, a black tombstone was visible.

The tombstone is also inscribed with the five large characters "Guanshan Zhimi Fu".

Next to the large characters were several lines of smaller characters.

Ah Ning quickly pointed the flashlight at the tombstone and whispered the small characters on it.

"To seek out the Earthly Immortal, first find the Black Sheep. Before the Platform of Frightening Souls, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, the Immortal Bridge is invisible, difficult to find with the naked eye... Kneel eight hundred times, and you will be granted immortality!"

Everyone stared at the small print, their faces filled with confusion.

Among the crowd, the Taoist priest Gou's eyes shone brightly as he repeatedly murmured these words.

Ah Ning carefully considered her experiences over the past few days and said softly, "I can roughly guess the meaning of the first sentence: 'To visit the Earth Immortal, first seek the Black Sheep...' It should be referring to the jade body and bronze head of the Black Sheep King. But what do the following paragraphs mean? Also, what is the relationship between 'Guanshan Zhimi Fu' and 'Guanshan Taibao'?"

Li Changsheng shook his head and explained, "The 'Guanshan Zhimi Fu' is a mantra left behind by Feng Shigu when he sealed off the Earth Immortal Village, intended to guide future generations into the Earth Immortal Village."

"So, this passage contains a clue about the Earth Immortal Village?"

Ah Ning's eyes grew brighter as she spoke, especially the last sentence of this passage: "Kowtowing eight hundred times, he was granted immortality!"

She knew that her boss, Jude Kao, was obsessed with finding immortality. If she could find it, even if it was just to prolong her life, it would be considered to have fulfilled the task assigned by her boss and repay the kindness of her boss in raising her over the years.

Aning's father was also a tomb raider.

In her early years, her father collaborated with Jude Kao in the search for the secret to immortality.

But if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Her father unfortunately died in his grave, leaving behind young Aning and a younger brother who was still in swaddling clothes.

Just when Aning was at her wit's end, Jude Kao adopted her and her younger brother, nurtured her, and even sent her brother to study in the United States.

Although Ah Ning knew in her heart that Jude Kao did this for a purpose, hoping that she would work for him and gain a loyal subordinate.

But Aning wasn't offended, because she had known since she was a child that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and everything comes at a price.

A Ning took a deep breath and looked at Li Changsheng.

"Do you know the route to the Immortal Village?"

"Know."

Li Changsheng shrugged.

Actually, he didn't know that at first. After all, Coffin Gorge is so big that even if he knew the plot and how Hu Bayi and the others entered the Earth Immortal Village, he might not be able to successfully replicate it.

For example, the hundreds of dangerous paths mentioned earlier, even if you know the plot, you can only rely on feng shui secrets or try them one by one.

but……

Since the system task appeared, everything is no longer a problem!

Once the mission location is given, the system will automatically display a route map; simply follow the map.

Upon hearing Li Changsheng's words, A Ning became furious...

"If you knew the route, why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask. Besides, I'm just a consultant, not a director. Directors charge a different price!"

"..."

Ah Ning was speechless for a moment!

The main reason is that Fengjiadi Immortal Village is too secluded, so much so that very few people in the country know about it.

She had no idea that Li Changsheng knew this place inside and out.

Thinking of this, Aning's tone softened.

"Boss Li, could you be my guide and take me to the Immortal Village? I'm willing to pay extra."

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng immediately became interested.

"How much?"

"My authority only allows me to add up to two million. That money can be transferred to you once it's gone. Anything more will require approval from the boss."

Ah Ning believed that, given Jude Kao's obsession with immortality, he would be willing to pay any amount of money.

As long as Li Changsheng can really take her into the Earth Immortal Village!

Li Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The original consulting fee of 1.2 million yuan from Jude Kao was to be paid in half upfront, with the balance to be settled upon completion of the project.

It's 200,000 more than Xiang Batou and Hei Xiazi.

It's estimated that Wu Sansheng revealed a little about Li Changsheng's strength, which is why Qiu Dekao offered such a generous reward.

Now that it's increased to two million, that means there's still eight hundred thousand left, which is considered the guide fee.

"Applying is too time-consuming, two million it is."

After the team entered the depths of Coffin Gorge, there was no signal at all, and cell phones could not be used, making it difficult to contact them.

Since it was just unexpected money anyway, and Li Changsheng was in a hurry to complete his mission, he didn't hesitate and readily agreed.
