A few hours later, the group disembarked and entered Gulan County. Li Chunlai personally led them to a guesthouse where they stayed.

After finishing all this, Li Chunlai said to Su Mo, Big Gold Tooth, and the others, "The four bosses should get some rest. I'll come back tomorrow, and then we'll go collect the treasures!"

After saying that, Li Chunlai left gracefully.

"Gentlemen..."

Big Gold Tooth suddenly said, "We've finally made it to Gulan County. After we collect the antiques, Mr. Hu, Mr. Fatty, Mr. Su, don't rush off. I heard that Li Chunfeng's tomb is also here. Let's go pay our respects when we have some free time. Li Chunfeng was a great feng shui master in history!"

Upon hearing that there was a tomb, the fat man quickly walked to Big Gold Tooth's side and asked, "Is Li Chunfeng's tomb in this Gulan County?"

Big Gold Tooth nodded.

The fat man laughed even harder, "Who is Li Chunfeng?"

"........."

Everyone was speechless.

Old Hu also felt embarrassed by his brother's actions, so he quickly explained, "This Li Chunfeng was a feng shui master under Emperor Taizong of Tang, and he's famous in history. He was from Gulan County, and after his death, he returned to his roots... uh... these are all recorded in unofficial histories. Fatty, you should read more books in your spare time..."

"Emperor Taizong of Tang..."

The fat man's eyes lit up. "That's a Tang Dynasty tomb! There must be lots of treasures inside!"

"..."

Everyone rolled their eyes. They were really bold. How dare they covet Li Chunfeng's tomb? They were practically asking for death!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on arriving in Gulan County! Reward: Royal Inner Armor!]

coming!

The golden inner armor is the same type of inner armor worn by Chen Yulou, the former leader of the Unloading Ridge faction. It is impervious to water and fire and is a rare treasure in the world.

"oops…"

The fat man suddenly felt an unbearable itch all over his body. He reached up to scratch his back, but found that his arm couldn't reach there. "Hey guys, scratch my itch!"

As he spoke, the fat man turned around and lifted his shirt.

Old Hu chuckled and cursed, "You're covered in sweat, who wants to scratch your itch..."

"Eh?"

Old Hu paused, as if he had discovered something, and upon closer inspection, exclaimed, "Fatty, what's that red mark on your shoulder? It looks like an eyeball!"

Su Mo's pupils contracted.

Chapter 48: Encountering the Dragon!

Su Mo walked closer and saw a strange red eye-shaped mark on the back of a fat man. Su Mo's face darkened, and he reached out to lift Old Hu's clothes.

Old Hu was stunned, "Brother Su..."

"Hey…"

Seeing the red eye on Lao Hu's shoulder, the fat man chuckled and said, "Lao Hu, you have one too? Jin, take a look, are we the same?"

Big Gold Tooth glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise, "They really are exactly the same! Gentlemen, you didn't go and get tattoos behind our backs, did you?"

"fart!"

Seeing Su Mo's cold face and silence, Old Hu pulled down his shirt. "Tattoos, that's something petty thugs do..."

Turning around, Lao Hu looked at Su Mo again, "Brother Su, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Before Su Mo could speak, the fat man beside him interjected, "Maybe it was just a big fish in the river that pecked at it. Don't worry, just go back and find a Yangzhou bathhouse masseur; one scrub and it'll be gone..."

"moon…"

Just as Lao Hu and his friends were chatting idly, an old voice drifted over, "The divination by candlelight and tortoise shell is accurate to the smallest detail; Chen Tuan has been reincarnated, and King Wen has been reborn!"

"........."

Everyone paused for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, an elderly man wearing a traditional Chinese jacket and black sunglasses walked over slowly, leaning on a cane.

The fat man shook his head. "Blind man?"

The old man across from him quickened his pace and, upon reaching him, raised his cane and struck the fat man hard on the head.

The fat man quickly dodged, "So he's not blind after all!"

The old man snorted coldly, "I couldn't bear to see you perish in Gulan County, so I gave you a heads-up. I didn't expect you young people to be so impolite!"

"Whoa!"

The fat man retorted sarcastically, "Old man, you should get some rest. It's getting late, and it's not a good time to scam people at night!"

The old man shook his head, quite regretfully, "Oh well, it was just my old codger meddling..."

With that, the old man turned and left. "However, as a parting word, I ask you young friends to remember this: since you have just escaped death in the water today, please do not disturb the peace of the deceased in the ground for the next few days!"

Old Hu, Fatty, and the other two were all greatly shocked, and no longer held any contempt in their hearts.

Su Mo had a vague idea of ​​the blind old man's identity. This blind man, who was hiding in Gulan County, was a super big shot in the tomb raiding world.

"Brother Su..."

Big Gold Tooth looked at Su Mo, hoping he could give him some advice.

"A master!"

As he spoke, Su Mo quickly caught up, with Fatty, Old Hu, and Big Gold Tooth close behind.

"Old sir..."

The group followed the old man to a fortune-telling stall. Su Mo pushed Old Hu to sit down directly, saying, "We have something we'd like to ask you!"

The old man looked up, sighed, and said, "So be it, they are, after all, the disciples and grand-disciples of an old friend..."

The old man stood up and touched Lao Hu's head with both hands.

Why did they even start hitting each other?!

Old Hu stammered, "Grandpa, Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"Feel the bones!"

"Grandpa, listen to me..."

"Don't speak. By observing one's bones and words, one can know... one can know one's social status and worth!"

Men are generally considered to be averse to having their heads touched, so Old Hu was a bit unhappy and scolded, "Old man, don't spread such alarmist rumors. Let me give you a piece of advice: superstitious thinking is not acceptable; the glorious Party guides us!"

Whether the blind old man heard what Lao Hu said or not, the old man said to himself, "Strange, this man looks quite similar to me when I was young!"

"........."

After a brief silence, Big Gold Tooth and Fatty couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Old Hu was completely dumbfounded...

Old Hu said with a wry smile, "Grandpa, are you trying to take advantage of me?"

The old man shook his head. "No, I'm flattering you..."

"A mortal with a snake-locked spiritual aperture must hold a position of power; it seems you are also a high-ranking official in the imperial court..."

Old Hu glanced back at Su Mo and the others, his eyes seeming to say, "The old man miscalculated; he's probably a fool!"

The fat man was even more blunt in his attack, saying, "You let something slip, old man. You can't even make up a believable lie. If you said his son might become a feudal lord someday, we might believe you!"

The old man remained calm, though his tone turned slightly colder. "You keep calling yourself an old man, all you do is talk big. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you for not understanding the proper order of seniority? You brat, you'll regret this sooner or later..."

The fat man, hands on his hips, said, "No, I meant...you..."

Old Hu, pulling the fat man along, didn't intend to argue with the old man any further. He stood up and said, "Grandpa, the I Ching, the Eight Trigrams, and the secret arts of Feng Shui are profound and all-encompassing. If you use them to make money, you are insulting the wisdom of our ancestors!"

The old man nodded, revealing his yellow teeth, and smiled. "Indeed, the I Ching and Bagua are indeed treasures left by our ancestors, and the secrets of Feng Shui are also a closely guarded mystery. Apart from the true masters of the Dragon-Seeking Technique, how could others know the secrets within? How dare you juniors speak so arrogantly and lecture this old man?"

"........."

Everyone was startled again. Old Hu suppressed the disdain in his eyes and asked, "May I ask, sir..."

The old man raised his head, clasped his hands in greeting to the crowd, and said, "I am a nobody, sitting in Gulan County, eating and waiting to die. Everyone calls me Blind Chen!"

It's him!

Su Mo's lips curled up, and he truly confirmed the origin of this great god.

Chen Yulou, the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction!

A pair of night visions allows one to see in the dark, and to perceive things through sight, smell, and touch – a unique skill at hand.

The head of Changsheng Mountain once controlled over 100,000 bandits across 13 provinces in the south and north. He was a well-known figure in the martial arts world decades ago.

"List?"

Su Mo, who had been silent for a long time, spoke for the first time, "I remember that the former leader of the Unloading Ridge faction was also surnamed Chen!"

Su Mo stopped there, but didn't point it out.

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Mo's words, Blind Chen suddenly looked up at Su Mo and asked, "Who are you?"

The fat man was suspicious, wondering to himself, "Is this blind man really blind?"

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "The Lieutenant General of the Excavation Corps—Su Mo!"

Blind Chen was, after all, the leader of the 100,000 Unloading Ridge Warriors. This identity once made him a powerful figure in the martial arts world, and he deserved to be treated with respect by Su Mo.

"impossible…"

Blind Chen shook his head directly. "As far as I know, the lineage of the Fa Qiu Zhong Lang Jiang (a high-ranking official in the tomb raiding sect) has long been severed. Even the Fa Qiu Tian Seal, which symbolizes our sect's identity, has been destroyed. There are no more Fa Qiu Zhong Lang Jiang in the world. Young friend, this is no joke!"

Blind Chen has lived for many years and was once the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction. Not to mention the major sects such as the Tomb Raiders, the Mountain Moving Taoists, and the Mountain Watchers, even if you look at the entire world of tomb raiders, you probably can't find anyone with a higher position and more power than him.

It's a living fossil-level monster!

Su Mo took out the Heavenly Seal of the Tomb Raider and handed it to Blind Chen, saying, "Who knows if that Heavenly Seal of the Tomb Raider is real? Old man, could you take a look at this one in my hand..."

Blind Chen took the Heavenly Seal of the Tomb Raider and examined it carefully. Although his eyes had been damaged in Yunnan, he had benefited from the misfortune, and his perception and hearing were now even better than before.
