General of the Heavens

After exchanging pleasantries, Ning Chen asked, "Brother Chen, I have a small question. I know that the Unloading Ridge faction has many members, but when they act together, it's inevitable that information will leak out. I wonder how you manage to..."

Ning Chen gave Chen Yulou a knowing look, and the latter nodded, understanding.

This is a question that many people are puzzled by. Tomb raiding is not an easy task; it can sometimes take a lot of time, so it is important to keep the news from getting out.

Chen Yulou looked at Luo Laowai, who laughed and said, "Brother Ning, you don't know this, but as long as it's on my turf, I can easily set up a military exercise as a pretext to keep them on alert for ten days or half a month, isn't that simple?"

Ning Chen: "..."

Under the guise of military exercises, they maintained a state of alert for ten to fifteen days, but in reality, they were engaged in tomb raiding. This foreigner, Luo, is truly experienced.

His words even reminded Ning Chen of a very famous person, a top figure in the tomb raiding business.

That's right, it was Sun Dianying, the notorious tomb raider.

He wreaked havoc on the Eastern Qing Tombs quite a bit, but during the Republic of China era, warlords were fighting each other fiercely, and all sorts of monsters and demons emerged one after another.

Moreover, chaotic times are precisely the era when tomb raiders rise to prominence, so it's not surprising now. It's just that Ning Chen once said he would never go tomb raiding, even if it meant death.

Looking back now, it really did smell good...

"Forgive my boldness, but I know about the Mountain Moving and Ridge Unloading techniques. This is the first time I've encountered the legendary General of Tomb Raiders and the Captain of Tomb Raiders. I wonder if your methods are as magical as the legends say?"

Legend has it that you can tell whether there are ancient tombs beneath your feet just by standing on the ground, and even know the exact structure of those tombs. Is this true or false? I am curious and humbly request Brother Ning to enlighten me.

Luo Laowai's eyes were burning with desire. To him, it didn't matter whether they were Unloading Ridge Warriors or Moving Mountain Taoists, as long as they could help him steal ancient tombs and obtain treasures, that was a good skill.

Ning Chen cleared his throat. Regarding these legends, it wasn't just Luo Laowai who was curious; even Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were extremely curious.

So it's time to show off your real skills.

"General Faqiu and Captain Mojin are actually quite similar in their skills. The only difference between General Faqiu is that he has a Faqiu Seal, which is said to make even ghosts and gods avoid him."

However, as Luo Shuai said, true masters of tomb raiding and grave robbing can tell exactly whether there is a tomb under their feet and what its structure is, just by standing in one place. This is true!

And this relies on some closely guarded secrets, such as finding the dragon vein and examining the mountains, determining the location of the burial site, and even the principles of Yin and Yang Feng Shui…”

Ning Chen paused mid-sentence, and everyone, having heard the crucial point, stopped abruptly, feeling as if a novel they had been following daily had suddenly been abandoned...

"Brother Ning, stop keeping us in suspense! We're all eagerly waiting for what you have to say next, so please tell us..."

Luo Laowai was as anxious as a monkey.

Ning Chen gave an awkward smile: "To be honest, I'm a little ashamed to admit that I know absolutely nothing about geomancy, such as dragon vein analysis, geomancy, or even yin-yang feng shui!"

Chen Yulou: "..."

Partridge Whistle: "..."

The rest of the group: "..."

It seems you're just excited for nothing. You don't even know how to do it, yet you look so proud. By the way, is this "General of Tomb Raiders" really the real deal?

Ning Chen continued without the slightest embarrassment: "It's alright if I don't know these things, but I do have some experience in tomb raiding. Manager Chen knows this very well, so I don't need to say more."

He gave Chen Yulou a meaningful look, and the latter understood immediately: "Commander Luo, I know Brother Ning's abilities, no need to say more."

"For this tomb raiding trip, I plan to involve Brother Ning and the experts from the Moving Mountain lineage. Let's join forces and plan something big. What do you think?"

Luo Laowai naturally took Chen Yulou as his leader. Seeing that Chen Yulou had agreed, he couldn't refuse. However, he still needed to clarify the profit-sharing arrangement beforehand.

Even brothers should keep clear accounts.

"Don't worry, Commander Luo. We're only here to find elixirs and medicines. Whatever ancient pills or formulas are in the tomb, we'll take them. The rest you can take as you please."

Partridge Whistle made his stance clear, and seeing that he didn't want the treasures but instead wanted some useless elixirs and magic pills, Old Luo was extremely satisfied.

"Then I wonder about Brother Ning..."

Ning Chen quickly spoke up: "I heard on the way that not only is there a general's tomb in Pingshan, but some people have even seen zombies. If this is true, then everyone please do me a favor. We can work together to extract the zombie's inner core. As for the rest, Commander Luo and Manager Chen can just throw me a few things if they feel like it!"

"Alright! In that case, let's go all out!" Old Luo was overjoyed. Ning Chen and Partridge Whistle hadn't asked for anything of value, so he had essentially gained two powerful allies out of thin air. Truly, good fortune makes one's spirits soar...

After the accounts were settled, Chen Yulou said, "Then let's leave it at that for now. We'll go to Ping Mountain to investigate tomorrow at dawn."

Luo Laowai chimed in, "No problem. Once we confirm there's an ancient tomb in Ping Mountain, I'll immediately bring the troops over for military exercises. Then none of the treasures in Ping Mountain will escape."

"Hehe, Luo Shuai is awesome!"

Ning Chen looked at Luo Laowai, who resembled a bandit leader, and felt a headache coming on. This kind of person was only made a product of the times; in a few years, the Party would definitely use him as a prime example…

With the plan settled, everyone relaxed and rested for the night. The next morning, Ning Chen was dragged out of bed by Partridge Whistle in a daze.

"Brother Ning, cheer up, it's time to hit the road."

Ning Chen: "..." If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all.

Chen Yulou beckoned people over, gave them instructions, and the group changed their clothes, preparing to search for the Yuan Dynasty tomb hidden in Ping Mountain.

Chen Yulou disguised himself as a fortune teller. His three subordinates included Hua Maguai, who was sallow-faced and emaciated, and who knew about corpse wax, corpse poison, and corpse worms. He was also the chief strategist of the Xieling bandits.

Another towering man was incredibly strong, with immense physical strength. Unfortunately, he was born mute and had a nickname: "Kunlun Moller".

This means that he looked very much like the "Kunlun Slave," a strange man from the late Tang and Five Dynasties period. Chen Yulou had unintentionally saved his life when he was robbing a tomb in Yandang Mountain, and he devoted himself to becoming Chen Yulou's personal servant.

The other young woman, naturally, is Hong Guniang, who is skilled in all sorts of ancient magic tricks and acrobatics, possesses the unique abilities of the Moon Gate, and will have a brief romance with Partridge Whistle in the future.

Chen Yulou and his three henchmen, along with Luo Laowai, disguised themselves as merchants and peddlers, while the three mountain-moving trio disguised themselves as carpenters.

As for Ning Chen, he didn't have any outstanding skills, so he pretended to be Chen Yulou's younger brother and followed Chen Yulou out to broaden his horizons.

This made Ning Chen very unhappy. Chen Yulou, that bastard, was obviously taking advantage of him. Not only did he keep calling Ning Chen "Big Brother," but he also made Ning Chen "hmm~" sound as if he were having an orgasm.

This really disgusted Ning Chen.

And so, the group of nine embarked on a tomb raiding journey. During this time, Ning Chen asked Chen Yulou for several antique treasures that he usually played with.

Sensing that the spiritual energy in his eyes was about to undergo some unknown changes, Ning Chen felt a small sense of anticipation...
