Chapter 175: Entering the Ancient Tomb

Chen Chengcheng greeted everyone with a big smile, like a girl next door.

However, Su Mo wasn't buying it. What Chen Wenjin's niece? That was all bullshit. Chen Wenjin was most likely a venomous woman now, so there was no way she had a niece.

Su Mo believed that Wu Sansheng must have also seen through the trickery, and the reason he remained silent was probably to lure out the mastermind behind it all.

After all, taking the initiative to get involved is in line with Wu Sansheng's style of doing things, and he did this kind of thing quite often in the future.

In the evening, everyone had a small drink together, and they got to know each other quite well. They toasted and drank, and the scene was quite lively.

After a fun-filled night, everyone fell into a deep sleep, completely satisfied.

The next morning, the group asked the young girl in the house for directions, and then set off early.

But just outside the village, after traveling about seven or eight kilometers, they came across a campsite.

Wu Sansheng had seen plenty of ghosts and spirits. With four fierce generals clearing the way for Zhang Xiaoge and Su Mo protecting him, these ghosts and demons were nothing to fear.

Upon seeing signs of humans, Su Mo's expression turned serious. He crouched down, grabbed a dagger, and together with Pan Zi, sneaked into the camp.

Fortunately, the camp was deserted.

Wu Sansheng had just breathed a sigh of relief when Su Mo appeared beside him at some point. "Master Su..."

Looking at the trash in the campsite, Su Mo said, "We must have run into some fellow travelers..."

Wu Sansheng was somewhat surprised, "Who are you...?"

Su Mo nodded, "That's right, these people should be tomb raiders, and their goal should be the same as ours!"

"This campsite is located in an auspicious location according to feng shui principles, and there are experts within the team. It seems they've been there for quite some time..."

Su Mo finished speaking.

Zhang Qiling raised his head, his eyes revealing unease.

Seeing Zhang Qiling's strong reaction, Su Mo knew that the young man had come with a mission and was afraid that the things inside had already been taken away.

"Let me lead the way..."

Su Mo took out the golden compass and silently recited the Dragon-Seeking Incantation: "To find the dragon and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains; each winding mountain is a barrier. If the barrier has eight parts danger, it will not deviate from the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams pattern..."

"That direction..."

Su Mo pointed to the southeast, where a faint purple dragon aura swirled in the air, resembling a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching.

In yin-yang feng shui, this is at least the burial place of a king or a great general.

The compass, the Dragon-Seeking Manual—Wu Sansheng knew these were the methods of the Tomb Raiders, and Su Mo was the leader of the Tomb Raiders—the Lieutenant General of the Grave Robbers. In all of China, he was second to none when it came to tomb raiding. "Good…"

Wu Sansheng was overjoyed. "Everyone, listen to Master Su, let's go!"

This time, Su Mo took the initiative to walk in front with the compass. He was well-versed in the principles of Yin and Yang and Feng Shui, and with his guidance, the group avoided many detours.

About an hour or two later, Su Mo stopped, looked around, and said to the surrounding terrain, "This is it!"

"chaos!"

"exist!"

The four members of Chaos understood each other and took out tools such as Luoyang shovels, and started digging directly under Su Mo's feet.

Wu Sansheng gave Pan Zi a wink, and Pan Zi nodded repeatedly, following behind Hun Dun. The group swung their arms and focused on digging the hole.

Wu Xie, Hai Shao, Chen Chengcheng and the others set up camp on the spot.

Wu Sansheng looked down at the soil that had been cleared out and said, "Soil stained with blood? This tomb is no ordinary one!"

After digging for an unknown amount of time, Chaos suddenly called out from below, "Master Su, it seems we've reached the bottom..."

Su Mo leaped into the air and gracefully arrived in front of Chaos.

An ancient tomb structure, constructed of ancient bricks and stones, was discovered at the bottom.

Su Mo started clearing away the layers of stone bricks.

Before long, a dark and gloomy tunnel was cleared out.

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Let's go tomb raiding!"

As he spoke, Su Mo went in first, while Hai Shao and Chen Chengcheng were left upstairs. Wu Sansheng led Wu Xie down into the tomb, while Zhang Qiling and the four ferocious beasts warily looked around.

The stone steps and walls here were all carved out of stone, and there are still traces of the carving on the walls.

The underground area is very large, which shows that a lot of manpower and resources were used back then.

After slowly descending the stone steps, the group entered a larger tomb passage.

At the very front of the tomb passage is a bluish-green tomb door.

There are two stone platforms on either side of the tomb entrance, and two creatures are crawling on the platforms.

As the moment became more critical, no one dared to be careless and proceeded cautiously.

Looking at the tomb door so close at hand, Pan Zi took a few steps forward, clenched his left fist, and began to knock on it.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Wu Xie asked, "Could it be blocked?"

After studying the tomb door, Pan Zi turned to Wu Sansheng and said, "Third Master, there's a trap!"

"Get out of the way!"

Su Mo strode away, focused his energy in his dantian, his bones humming, raised his fist, and unleashed a powerful punch.

"Oh!"

The stone gate collapsed, and rubble was scattered all over the ground.

"..."

Everyone was shocked, and even Zhang Qiling's eyelids twitched.

"The stone has been there for a long time..."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Su Mo said calmly, "Exposed to wind and sun... it's not durable!"

That sounds reasonable, but there are eggs under this grave... exposed to the wind and sun!

Wu Sansheng broke out in a cold sweat. "Ha...ha...Master Su is too modest!"

Su Mo didn't continue the topic. He took out a bottle of pills and distributed them to everyone. "This is a secret medicine of the tomb raiders. It can ward off corpse poison and also counteract the complex atmosphere in the tomb. Everyone, take it!"

The Red Box Magic Heart Pill, one of the essential items for tomb raiders, was originally lost. Su Mo obtained it from Blind Chen by chance.

So, Su Mo got another freebie...

After that, the Red Box Mystic Pill was equipped in the hands of every tomb-raiding team under his command.

Look at them, they're so professional! The Nine Gates are just a bunch of nouveau riche!

Wu Sansheng muttered something, and then he, Pan Zi, and Wu Xie each swallowed a Red Box Wonderful Heart Pill.

After finishing, Su Mo took out two more bottles and handed one to Wu Sansheng and the other to Wu Xie, saying, "You'll be going into tombs often in the future, you'll need these..."

"........."

Wu Xie and Wu Sansheng were speechless. Su Mo's words made it sound like they would be going to tomb raiding all the time in the future.

However, since Su Mo meant well and the Red Lotus Heart Pill was a valuable item that might actually come in handy in the future, Wu Xie and Wu Sansheng didn't say much and each put the small bottle away.

With Su Mo leading the way, the group felt much more relaxed. They cleared paths through mountains and built bridges over rivers, and before long, they arrived at the main tomb chamber.

In the main burial chamber, everyone was in complete darkness, but this did not deter Su Mo. He secretly activated his Golden Eyes and looked around.

On a stone platform in the center of the tomb chamber, there was a large cauldron.

Several eave-shaped lamp stands were placed around the large cauldron.

On the high platform in front of the large cauldron, a coffin was placed.

Wu Xie shone his flashlight into the tomb chamber and laughed, "So this is the tomb chamber?"

Wu Sansheng did not answer his nephew's question, but instead said to Pan Zi, "Light the lamp!"

After speaking, Wu Sansheng came to the stone platform where the large cauldron was placed. He saw that the stone platform, near the central cauldron, was engraved with Bagua (Eight Trigrams) patterns.

Wu Sansheng asked, "Young man, can you tell from these inscriptions who is buried here?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head.

Su Mo led the four Taotie across the stone platform and came to look at the stone coffin.

Pan Zi then went to the stone platform and shone his flashlight into the large cauldron. "Third Master, there's something here!"

The group walked over.

They discovered that a headless corpse was inside the large cauldron.

Chapter 176; Zhang Qiling Kneels? And you want me to kneel too?

Pan Zi then went to the stone platform and shone his flashlight into the large cauldron. "Third Master, there's something here!"

The group walked over.

Inside the large cauldron was a headless corpse, but after so many years, the headless corpse's clothes were already tattered.

Su Mo explained to everyone, "The owner of this tomb cut off people's heads to offer as sacrifices to the heavens, but placed the bodies here to offer as sacrifices to people. This corpse should be a prisoner of war, and slaves are not allowed to wear jewelry!"

With that, Su Mo stopped paying attention to this place and shifted his gaze to other directions.

Zhang Qiling walked towards the stone coffin in the tomb chamber, looking extremely nervous, and then spoke some strange musical notes to the coffin.

"Kaka, Kuka, Kuku, Kaon, Kaka, Kukakaku..."

This strange scene attracted everyone's attention.

Wu Xie asked Wu Sansheng, "Third Uncle, what's wrong with Zhang Qiling?"

Wu Sansheng shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

How could Brother Zhang make the white-clad female ghost kneel down? He's incredibly skilled, so how did he end up bowing to her too?
