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

"Stinging bees? How did they get here? Did we attract them?" The fat man was puzzled, thinking it was another witchcraft technique left behind by Feng Shigu.

"Uh...this problem is a bit complicated!"

Su Mo said, "We'll just hide in the cave. You'll understand in a bit!"

The "Mountain-Viewing Divine Brush" contains a drug that attracts bees, drawing them out of their hive.

The stinging bees are so numerous they blot out the sun; attacking them is no joke.

Since Su Mo had already said that, the fat man stopped asking questions and pulled Lao Hu, Xue Li Yang, and the others to stay far away.

Su Mo looked at Shirley, smiled, and said, "Officer Yang, doesn't this resemble the magic of 'Moving Mountains and Dividing Armors'?"

Shirley Yang, reminded by Su Mo, suddenly realized, "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? This is clearly using the stinging bees to open the door..."

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the swarm of stinging bees in the distance.

At this moment, everyone was extremely conflicted. They were both terrified of the stinging bees and hoped that the stinging bees could help them open the entrance to the Immortal Village.

Before long, the stinging bees were already intoxicated by the ink left by the Mountain-Viewing Divine Brush, and they secreted wax on a nearby tree branch that stretched across the mountainside, forming several beehives.

They built their hives larger and larger, gradually connecting several large hives into one, forming a huge nest.

The large branches from which it was hanging were bent under the weight, trembling and almost pressing against the ground.

In this strange situation, a flash of white light suddenly appeared on the mountain wall.

The gate that Lao Hu just drew on the mountain rock with a gold pen, with wild bees crawling back and forth, made the golden ink appear to have a fleeting, shimmering glow.

It was like a strange, golden will-o'-the-wisp.

The stinging bees gathered in the huge hive seemed to be frightened by the will-o'-the-wisps on the rock wall. They flapped their wings and flew out of the hive, circling and spinning around the nest in a chaotic manner.

Old Hu whispered, "Guanshan Taibao is skilled in unusual arts, and his mastery of Yin-Yang and Feng Shui is no less than that of the tomb raiders!"

"Judging from the current situation, in terms of the strange and unpredictable arts of mutual generation and restraint, they are in no way inferior to the Mountain Moving School!"

"No wonder they were able to suppress the four factions of tomb raiders so effectively in the past!"

Su Mo was also watching closely, and he was quite surprised to see the dense, locust-like swarm passing by.

The aura was simply too powerful.

What's even more astonishing is that after the swarm of bees emerged from the hive, they quickly restored order from the chaos.

They huddled together in groups to prevent the flames from burning down their nests.

As if receiving a special command, they all flew to the top of the hive, their bodies spraying out special secretions.

Tens of thousands of bees rushed in, quickly soaking the hive.

As the secretions fell, the stone corroded like iron, and a large pit, several feet in diameter, was silently etched into the surface of the bluestone underground in an instant.

"So that's what drawing a door on the ground means!"

Everyone, including the fat man, suddenly realized what was going on.

Sherry Yang clicked her tongue in amazement, "It's similar to the Mountain Moving Technique's Armor Division Technique. Mountain Observation is indeed amazing!"

The hole in the rock grew deeper and deeper, but the bottom was still nowhere in sight.

"I wonder how deep underground that ancient tomb is, and what kind of place the Earth Immortal Village is?"

The crowd was getting impatient.

Su Mo saw that beneath the greenish-blue soil were layers of silvery-white rock. "This is the entrance to the Earth Immortal Village. Those white rock layers are like iron walls and silver screens!"

What is a silver screen?

The word "silver" made the fat man's eyes light up strangely. Although he was already rich, he still found the tomb raiding and treasure hunting very exciting.

Su Mo explained, "It is said that silver, when piled up for many years, will decay into silver mud, and the decayed silver mud will weather and become as hard as iron!"

"If a silver screen is used as a barrier in the tomb, it will be far more solid and stable than an ordinary rammed earth wall!"

"Moreover, the screen is thick and heavy, making it difficult for sound to travel!"

"There is another tangible benefit: the entrance to this ancient tomb is only temporarily visible. After a while, this silver screen will close again!"

"It will still be covered by soil and vegetation, and people who don't know the exact location will not be able to find it at all!"

"..."

Everyone looked completely bewildered, as if they were listening to gibberish.

a long time!

The fat man couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, no wonder no one has ever been able to find this place. It's so damn well hidden, it's insane!"

Su Mo nodded, "I'd only seen this method mentioned in some literature, and I thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect Feng Shigu to actually use it..."

After another ten minutes or so, seeing the hole getting bigger and bigger, Su Mo leaped up and sent the Crimson Sky Sword flying out, shattering the giant beehive into pieces.

At the same instant, the azure dragon's blood energy, carrying a chilling pressure, swept in with overwhelming force.

The stinging bees shuddered and scattered like monkeys fleeing a falling tree, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the group walked out of the cave, and a bottomless pit came into view.

Su Mo said, "Put on your gas mask!"

Everyone nodded, put on their gear, checked the equipment and other items, and then picked up their weapons again.

Su Mo and the Bashan ape went down first.

The cave was about ten meters high, but since everyone had been practicing light-body skills for nearly twenty years, this height was nothing to them.

A dozen minutes later, everyone landed on the ground and saw a thick layer of silver.

This is a natural cave.

The cave is narrow, and there are dripping sounds from deep within the rock layers, creating a damp and oppressive atmosphere!

Su Mo looked along the rocks beside the water and discovered many cracks in the cave wall.

Inside were scattered human bone fragments, as well as strings of shackles and chains, all used to lock the prisoners together in rows.

Based on a rough estimate of the terrain and scale, at least a thousand skeletons were buried in the dozens of rock crevices and caves of the mass burial cave.

A chill ran down the spines of the group.

The tomb passage ahead was littered with rubble, and the group carefully made their way through.

The tomb chamber has doorways on all four sides, and one of the tomb walls is decorated with a strange mural of a fat woman with an expressionless face.

The woman held in her hands a withered old man, about the size of an infant's fist.

"What a bizarre scene; the old man looks like a demon..."

Everyone was upset by this mural.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a woman's crying sounded in everyone's ears, intermittent and very clear, definitely not a hallucination.

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat instantly broke out on their foreheads.

Chapter 388: You are already dead!

"Wow!"

Hearing this heart-wrenching cry, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat instantly broke out on their foreheads.

"What...what is this?"

As a girl from Sichuan, Yao Mei'er is usually a carefree person who is fearless, but the ghostly voice is so eerie that she can't help but feel a little broken.

"We've been tomb raiding for so many years, what kind of demons and monsters haven't we seen..."

"Don't be afraid, just come with me!"

Su Mo, skilled and daring, proceeded along the slightly sloping tomb passage.

Along the way, the incomplete Tang Dynasty murals constantly presented new challenges.

Despite the damp environment, the murals remain as vibrant as ever.

The woman's voice from deep within the tomb passage was intermittent, no longer just crying, but sometimes laughing and sometimes shouting.

The sound seemed faint and ethereal, almost imperceptible.

Suppressing their excitement, the group waded through the water towards the end of the tomb passage.

Seemingly sensing some disturbance, the woman's cries from inside the tomb suddenly fell silent.

At the end of the tunnel is a side chamber in the tomb, and there is a vertical shaft under the tomb bricks in front of the chamber.

The groundwater flowed here, and all the water seeped into the underground rock crevices in front of the tomb chamber.

There was no water inside the tomb chamber. Two vermilion coffins, each painted with a picture of Zhong Kui eating ghosts, were stranded in the tomb chamber, one to the east and one to the west.

The youngest sister asked, "Could this be the main burial chamber?"

Old Hu shook his head. "No, this is a coffin that has been moved. There shouldn't be a coffin here!"

A faint light shimmered on the lacquered coffin near the entrance to the tomb.

The sound came from that place.

"I know, it's a ghostly sound!"

The fat man suddenly shouted excitedly.

Old Hu looked at the fat man suspiciously, "You know about ghost sounds?"

The fat man curled his lip. "Hey, look at what you're saying. You may not have eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run, right..."

Old Hu still stared at the fat man in disbelief.

The fat man sighed, "Alright, alright, I heard it from Big Gold Tooth!"

"Ghostly sounds" is a singing style from the Tang Dynasty. It is sung a cappella by women in the still of the night without accompaniment. The melody is eerie and ethereal, imitating the weeping of the dead!

"This stuff is really popular in Japan. I went to Japan to seduce people before... cough cough!"

"When I traveled to Japan, I did some research..."
