In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

The head of the Wang family gritted his teeth, "Let's go!"

With that, supported by his subordinates, the Wang family entered another tunnel.

Watching the Wang family's departing figures, the fat man said regretfully, "I really wanted to kill them all!"

Su Mo smiled gently, "No rush, we don't need to pack. There will be something to pack up ahead..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Mo, "Brother Su, what...what do you mean?"

A strange light flickered across Su Mo's shimmering eyes. "The Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor is ahead!"

"..."

Everyone gasped.

Let's go...

Su Mo laughed, "The head of the Wang family will be seriously injured, if not killed!"

As the group ventured deeper, they soon arrived at the location of the Nine Palaces Dragon Tiger Lock. In the corner of the wall lay a corpse, which Su Mo recognized as the body of Feng Xuewen (Professor Sun's brother).

Several cigarette pack papers were placed next to the body.

The paper had turned yellow and become brittle, covered with dense writing.

After glancing at it, Su Mo found it uninteresting and tossed it to Lao Hu and the others.

Old Hu took it from his hand and said in surprise, "Hey, it actually talks about the origin of Guanshan and the formation of this Earth Immortal Village!"

Chapter 386: The Origin of the Earth Immortal Village

"Hey, it actually talks about the origin of Guanshan and the formation of this Earth Immortal Village!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately perked up, "Tell me about it!"

Old Hu looked down at the cigarette box paper and said, "This Coffin Gorge is the burial area of ​​the Mountain-Moving Witch King!"

"During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the ancestor of the Feng family stole many ancient books made of bamboo slips and tortoise shells from the hanging coffins in Guancai Gorge!"

"The people buried in the hanging coffins here were mostly extraordinary individuals who were knowledgeable in astrology and yin-yang, and were even more skilled in the art of divination and transformation!"

"Most of the ancient books buried with the deceased recorded mysterious and bizarre ancient techniques, which is how the Feng family rose to prominence!"

"Hidden within Coffin Gorge is Coffin Mountain, which is the tomb of the Mountain-Moving Witch King!"

"It was passed down until the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the leader of the Feng family, the Guanshan Taibao, realized that a great change was about to happen in the world!"

"So the whole clan retreated to Qingxi Town and made a living by mining the Wuyan salt veins!"

"Due to their immense wealth, they quickly became a powerful clan in the region!"

"Feng Shigu, the leader of Guanshan Taibao at the time, was obsessed with the idea of ​​immortality through alchemy. So he disregarded the ancient precepts left by his ancestors, led people to dig up Coffin Mountain, took out the Zhou Tian Dragon Bone Diagram from the tomb, and claimed to have comprehended the mystery within it!"

"He also made a bold statement, saying that he was about to transform into an immortal earth immortal and had devoted his entire life to building an earth immortal village!"

Old Hu paused symbolically.

The fat man said, "So this Earth Immortal Village really is for the purpose of becoming an immortal, but this Feng Shigu has some tricks up his sleeve."

"Old Hu, don't stop, I feel like I'm about to climax..."

Everyone: "..."

Old Hu's face darkened. He glared at the fat man and continued reading, "Feng Shigu claimed that he wanted to convert the mortals of this world. In no time, many who believed in immortals followed Feng Shigu into the Earth Immortal Village!"

"They disappeared without a trace after that, and no one has ever seen a living person emerge from the ancient tomb in Dixian Village again!"

"Although Feng Shigu called Earth Immortal Village a place to live in seclusion, there are also people who strongly oppose it!"

"Back then, some members of the Feng family thought Feng Shigu had gone mad. Our ancestors had left instructions that the tomb of the Mountain-Moving Witch King should not be dug up!"

"Because there was a monster buried in that ancient tomb, but Feng Shigu disregarded this taboo and robbed the tomb. After that, he changed completely, constantly thinking about becoming an immortal or a saint. He was probably haunted by the evil spirit of the Witch King while robbing the tomb!"

"For decades, he has been stuffing ancient tombs with funerary objects, coffins, alchemical vessels, gold and jade that he has looted from various places, and he has also spread rumors and tried to force living people to be buried alive with him!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man suddenly interrupted, "So, if we rob the Earth Immortal Village, won't we be rich again?"

As Lao Hu explained the origins of the Earth Immortal Village to everyone, Su Mo arrived in front of the Nine Tigers Chihu Lock. Feng Xuewen died under the lock, which shows how powerful the Nine Tigers Chihu Lock is.

The youngest sister also came to Su Mo's side, repeatedly examining the Nine Tigers and Chi Tiger Lock.

Su Mo smiled and asked, "Can you crack it?"

The youngest girl nodded confidently and said, "I learned a lot from Grandpa, this is very simple!"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Okay, you give it a try, I'll be your assistant!"

Even so, Su Mo still dared not slack off in the slightest. The "Nine Palaces Dragon Tiger Lock" was a series of interlocking links. If the wrong order was opened, everyone would have to stop there.

The youngest sister stepped forward, speaking eloquently: "Speaking of the Nine Palaces, discussing the Nine Palaces, the cycle repeats endlessly, the Nine Palaces are originally without roots, Master Lu left a book explaining it clearly, and because no one understands the Nine Palaces, he entrusted the Immortal Mountain to make a measurement!"

The youngest sister used the techniques from "Honeycomb Mountain" and, following the instructions in the song, pried open the nine dragon-tiger shells one by one. Suddenly, a "crack" sound came from the stone coffin, indicating that the mechanism had been caught and the coffin lid had loosened a crack.

Su Mo smiled and clapped his hands in delight, "Great!"

On the other side, the crowd came over upon hearing the sound.

They were overjoyed to see that the youngest girl had easily solved the puzzle.

The fat man, upon realizing that the key to the "Ancient Tomb of the Earth Immortal Village" was inside, roused himself and called to Old Hu and the Bashan Ape. Together, the two men and the beast lifted the outer coffin lid.

Inside the stone sarcophagus was an open coffin. The group had seen too many corpses along the way, but this time there were no remains inside the coffin, only a gold box nearly two feet long lying inside.

When the golden box was illuminated by the beam of the "wolf-eye flashlight," it immediately shone with a dazzling golden light.

The fat man was overjoyed. "The Earth Immortal is indeed a big landowner and mine owner. He's incredibly wealthy. Even the key box is made of pure gold. Let's see if the keys inside are gold or silver."

The fat man stepped forward, picked up the golden box, opened it, and found that it contained only a calligraphy brush!

The fat man took out the calligraphy brush and examined it carefully. The handle of the brush was not made of bamboo, but of pure gold, and it was very heavy.

The fat man's eyes lit up. "A golden calligraphy brush! If we take it outside, many big shots would be willing to spend money to buy it!"

Old Hu said, "Hey, Fatty, you're starting to talk nonsense. Luckily, Wang Yueban isn't here..."

The fat man chuckled, pointing to the golden pen barrel, and said, "There are two lines of text engraved on it!"

Old Hu took a closer look.

The divine brush of the mountain draws a prison on the ground!

The fat man asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? Do you mean we can just take a pen, draw a door anywhere, and then we can walk into the Immortal Village?!"

Old Hu picked up the golden box and the magic pen and examined them repeatedly. The golden box was hollow and had no hidden mechanisms.

The openwork pattern on the box is in the style of the Ming Dynasty, featuring mountains and rivers and figures.

Below the mountain, in the valley, there is a dense forest, and there is also an immortal painting on a large mountain between two stone screens. The picture painted by the immortal seems to be a gate.

Old Hu pondered for a moment and said, "According to the meaning of this painting, it really is about to depict a door, but it should be a place without water, painted on a rock wall."

Sherry Yang said, "Then let's find a place to try!"

The cave tombs are not far from the valley floor, with cliffs piercing the clouds and rushing torrents roaring through the mountains.

There is a fork in the canyon, leading to a dried-up bluestone riverbed.

You don't go too far in before you reach the end, where there's a waterfall nestled in the high mountains.

However, the waterfall has either changed course or dried up, and there is no longer a water source, leaving only a slippery cliff in front of it.

This pattern bears a striking resemblance to the one on the gold box.

"The place where the immortal used his magic brush to draw the door should be the rock wall where the waterfall is without water."

The fat man said excitedly, "Now is the moment to witness a miracle!"

Old Hu shook his head. "But I still think it's impossible. How can someone draw a passable door with just a pen? It's too fantastical!"

It seems highly unlikely no matter how you look at it.

Besides Su Mo, everyone else thought the same thing.

This is like a child's fantasy.

Su Mo smiled and said, "It's worth a try. The old leader is right; practice is the sole criterion for testing truth!"

Old Hu nodded, took out the Mountain-Viewing Divine Brush, ground the ink from the golden box until it was very thick, and soaked the brush tip with it.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he painted a door on the rock face.

However, the door did not open for a long time!

Even reciting "Open Sesame" didn't work for Lao Hu.

"This was definitely fake, wasn't it? In such a serious tomb raiding setting, we all played a game like children!"

Su Mo chuckled. "Let's retreat back into the cave first!"

Since Su Mo had said so, they turned around and retreated.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the entire cave trembled slightly.

Chapter 387: The Entrance to the Earth Immortal Village

"Buzz!"

The entire cave trembled slightly.

Moreover, everyone noticed a strange, slight tremor in the air.

It looks like some kind of animal spreading its wings and taking flight.

The sound was incredibly dense, like a massive army.

"Brother Su, what's going on?"

"I asked in a panic."

The buzzing of wings could be heard everywhere in the bushes at the bottom of the canyon.

Su Mo smiled slightly, reassuring everyone: "It's a stinging bee!"
