General of the Heavens

"Oh my god! My back is killing me..."

The group set off at dawn and, by noon, with the sun high in the sky, finally reached a dangerous cliff behind Old Bear Ridge, with Bottle Mountain just a stone's throw away.

At this moment, Luo Laowai, who was dragging the team down, finally couldn't hold back anymore. The dignified commander was running around like a porter, which was really exhausting.

"Haha, General, your health isn't what it used to be. Unlike Brother Ning, who is young and strong and hasn't shown any signs of fatigue yet."

Chen Yulou shook his head and chuckled.

"No, it's just because they're young."

Ning Chen was very modest, but in reality, ever since he activated his Golden Eyes, the spiritual energy in his eyes has been constantly nourishing his body.

After several days, my back pain and leg soreness disappeared, and even urinating three feet deep in the wind was no problem.

Partridge Whistle looked at Ning Chen, whose face was not red, his breath was not out of breath, and he had not even shed a drop of sweat. He was completely different from how weak and frail he looked a few days ago!

Hua Ling followed Partridge Whistle, traveling all over the country, and became proficient in medicine. She remembered clearly that Ning Chen had been suffering from kidney deficiency and pale complexion a few days ago, as if he had overdone it. She never expected him to be so energetic now.

"Strange, what's the logic behind this?"

No one paid any attention to Hua Ling's confusion. At this moment, Partridge Whistle examined the terrain of Ping Mountain, pondered for two seconds, and then said, "Everyone, the clouds over this mountain are ominous."

As the saying goes, if an ancient tomb contains rare treasures, it will often be accompanied by auspicious clouds; however, it may also harbor demons hidden deep in the mountains and forests.

Old Luo, most concerned about tomb raiding, hurriedly asked, "A demon! What do you mean? Will it affect this important mission?"

"I don't know, let's wait and see!"

Partridge Whistle recalled the two fox spirits from before, "That serves as proof. Brother Chen, please forgive my presumption, but we must not act rashly on this trip. To enter the Ping Mountain Ancient Tomb, we must use the art of mutual generation and restraint."

Chen Yulou neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply nodded.

Partridge Whistle had already made a judgment. Chen Yulou couldn't have come for nothing. He widened his eyes, which, although not very large, seemed to have a divine light in them!

Ning Chen thought to himself, "They say squinty-eyed people are monsters, but I never expected Chen Yulou to have such skill after opening his eyes so wide..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, on the ancient cliff top where we stand, weeds grow wild and ancient trees reach for the sky. From our high vantage point, we can look down upon the veins of Ping Mountain."

Moreover, as I looked down, the deep mountains behind the main ridge were all cone-shaped strange peaks and precipitous rocks, with one continuous mountain range after another in the distance.

The rolling mountain peaks, like thousands of bamboo shoots emerging from the ground and ten thousand scepters pointing to the sky, are connected one after another, stretching endlessly between heaven and earth—truly an excellent feng shui formation!

Ning Chen listened very attentively. These were all genuine tomb raiding experiences, especially since they came from Chen Yulou, the ringleader of the tomb raiders. Ning Chen would have enough experience to learn from for a while.

Pointing to a rocky mountain below the cliff, Chen Yulou said, "This Ping Mountain is shaped like a large-bellied ancient bottle tilted to one side. Its shape is full of the wonders of nature. Its terrain is treacherous and broken, a cliff where monkeys and apes would have no way out."

Although the mountain is precipitous and awe-inspiring, surrounded by layers of peaks and verdant cliffs, it appears as if the misty trees float in a painting. Looking into the distance, white mist rises and rainbows appear. I deduce that this mountain must contain a great tomb!

Upon seeing this, Luo Laowai was overjoyed and asked, "Chief, I suspect that ancient tomb has collapsed? Or perhaps it has sunk?"

Chen Yulou raised an eyebrow. "What's your basis?"

Luo Laowai spoke eloquently: "This Ping Mountain is nestled in a place surrounded by mountains. The mercury vapor in the tomb cannot be dissipated and has condensed into mercury mist."

Isn't this rainbow light the aura of a treasure bursting forth from an ancient tomb? Damn it, the red is red, the white is white, it's even more beautiful than the... well, you know... of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl...

"Pah! Filthy language! You dog!"

Luo Laowai's words may be rough, but the point is that the group wasn't all men; there were also two young women among them!

Hua Ling blushed with embarrassment at Luo Laowai's words, while Hong Guniang angrily cursed him out, not caring what kind of warlord Luo Laowai was.

Luo Laowai was a powerful warlord with an extremely arrogant attitude. Among the crowd, only Chen Yulou could earn his respect. How could he tolerate Hong Guniang's insults?

"Hey! You little sassy girl, I love your temper. How about it, want to consider becoming my eighth concubine? I'll guarantee you'll live the high life, hahaha... *burp*"

When Luo Laowai started to flirt, Hong Guniang was furious. She flashed a cold sword and stuck it between Luo Laowai's legs, about an inch below!

Old Luo glanced down and instantly recoiled; that knife had nearly ended his Luo family line. What a close call…

"You bitch, you're asking for it..."

Just as Luo Laowai was about to explode, Chen Yulou couldn't hold back any longer: "Commander Luo, what time is it? Why can't you change your ways? Hong Guniang is originally from the Moon Gate, and she has learned a lot of ancient magic tricks. How dare you flirt with her so easily?"

With Chen Yulou speaking, Luo Laowai could only swallow his grievances, no matter what they were, because tomb raiding was the most important thing.

Seeing that Luo Laowai and Hong Guniang had both calmed down, Chen Yulou continued to explain the hypothesis that Luo Laowai had just put forward: "Whether the ancient tomb has collapsed or sunken is still unknown."

However, the terrain of this mountain is indeed unique, as it can be described as: the mountain has a hidden and concealing shape, the soil is firm and thick, and the earth veins are high enough to allow water to flow around.

The mountain dragon god does not descend into the water, and the water dragon god does not ascend the mountain. Upon closer inspection of the mountains and water here, one can see that the aura of the mountains and water is overwhelming, indicating that this is a true dragon and a place of immeasurable value.

From this vantage point, it's impossible to see the entrance to the ancient tomb. After all, I don't possess the skills of tomb raiders or grave robbers. However, we do have a legitimate successor of the tomb raiding tradition here!

Chen Yulou looked at Ning Chen expectantly and asked, "Brother Ning, what do you think?"

Chen Yulou was skilled in Qimen Dunjia, astrology, divination, and divination by asking the heavens. He was also very knowledgeable about the geomancy of Jiangxi.

However, he did not understand the tomb raiding techniques of "mojin" and "faqiu," which involved locating the tomb's burial site using feng shui principles, as the layout of an ancient tomb could not be seen from a high vantage point.

But Ning Chen is different. He has the seal of the Tomb Raider, making him the most authentic Tomb Raider General in the world. He can easily use his methods of locating tombs and robbing graves.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Ning Chen knew it was time to show off his skills and intimidate them, so he announced loudly, "Me too!"

……

Just kidding, Ning Chen isn't a pregnant woman. Even if she had a little something in her belly, she wouldn't be so discreet. The key is, he just doesn't know how to...

Everyone's expectations were dashed. In the end, having no other choice, Luo Laowai asked the Miao people he had captured to lead the way, but the familiar Miao people refused no matter what.

"Hey everyone..."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" Ning Chen retorted angrily.

The Miao guide pursed his lips and said, "Heroes, the scenery of Ping Mountain is indeed unique in the world, but it's enough to just look at it here. There's no need to go up the mountain..."

Everyone knows that there are Ganoderma lucidum and Nine Dragons Coil growing on the mountaintop, and those who go to collect herbs never return. There is also an ancient tomb in that cave, where the Corpse King is buried...

Luo Laowai thrust his belly forward and slapped the guide across the face. The guide was caught off guard and covered his face, looking very aggrieved.

Luo Laowai persisted, then pulled out a gun and pressed it against Laowai's forehead, saying, "Stop talking nonsense. Lead the way or I'll kill you. You choose!"

After communication, the Miao guide was very enthusiastic and finally decided to take the risk of leading the way. Ning Chen and the others followed him into the heart of Ping Mountain.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded again: "Ding! First check-in at Ping Mountain successful. Please continue your efforts, host!"
