Old Hu and Fatty fell silent. They had just seen the Dragon Ridge Maze. The maze was full of interconnected passages, winding and turning. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was a thousand years ago, making it even harder to find!

Looking at the dejected crowd, Su Mo asked, "If you were a feng shui master like Li Chunfeng, where would you plan to be buried?"

Without a second thought, the fat man replied, "Then of course, we should bury him in the place with the best feng shui."

Big Gold Tooth nodded in agreement, "That's right! The ancients believed greatly in feng shui. If it were a feng shui master, he certainly wouldn't bury himself in an ordinary place."

Su Mo's lips curled up, and he asked again, "What if someone robs the grave if it's buried in a place with good feng shui?"

"........."

The fat man and the man with the gold tooth exchanged a glance and began to think silently.

Shirley Yang then said, "Then let's find a place with good feng shui, but one that's hard for others to find!"

Upon hearing Shirley Yang's words, Old Hu's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Internal hidden acupoint?"

Su Mo chuckled, "Indeed, the Inner Cangyuan. Li Chunfeng, as a feng shui master whose name is etched in history, couldn't possibly be unaware of the Inner Cangyuan..."

"If I were him, I would choose a secluded spot for my burial. That way, those who know feng shui wouldn't be able to find me, and those who don't wouldn't come looking for me!"

The fat man looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "What is the Internal Hidden Abyss?"

Old Hu explained, "This is recorded in my family's half-book of the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique. It is said to originate from the heavens, like the waves of water. In Feng Shui, it has the appearance of a vessel. It is clearly a top-level Feng Shui location, but you can't see it at all from the outside. This is called 'hidden within,' which is extremely unique!"

At this moment, Big Gold Tooth also said, "I've also heard of the Inner Hidden Spring. It's said that there's a spring inside, hidden deep within, which is quite peculiar!"

Through the introductions by Su Mo, Lao Hu, and Da Jin Ya, everyone gained a better understanding of the Inner Cangyuan. While they were amazed by the Inner Cangyuan's peculiarities, an even more pressing question arose before them.

Where is the Neicangjing?

The group looked at each other, as if they were all asking questions.

【Ding! 】

A system voice announced, "[Congratulations, host, on participating in the main storyline of the Ghost Blows Out the Light world. The God-Level Choice System has begun...]"

Su Mo's eyes lit up.

Chapter 57: Exploiting Blind Chen

[Option 1: Inform everyone that the Inner Tomb is located below the Fishbone Temple, lead everyone down into the tomb, and the reward is the Centipede Hanging Mountain Ladder (exclusive to the Unloading Warrior)]

[Option Two: Without affecting the main storyline of Ghost Blows Out the Light - Find Blind Chen and ask him to reveal the whereabouts, rewarding you with the Little Divine Dagger (the same weapon used by Chen Yulou, the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction)]

[Option 3: Go to the Fishbone Temple alone, unravel its hidden secrets, and be rewarded with a permanent +30 Intelligence...]

The rewards are quite novel, but the centipede hanging on the mountain ladder and the +30 intelligence are really too useless and not very useful.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and still felt that Xiao Shenfeng was more reliable. He would have to go to Chen Yulou's place sooner or later, since Chen Yulou had a map of the Xianwang Tomb.

"I know someone who should know the whereabouts of the Inner Cangyun?"

Su Mo looked at everyone with a smile.

"Who?"

Su Mo always manages to surprise people, and everyone looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"Blind Chen!"

"Blind Chen?"

Su Mo's words left Shirley Yang somewhat confused. "Who is this person? How does he know Li Chunfeng's inner secrets?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Miss Yang, this Blind Chen has some connection with you. He was Chen Yulou, the leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect back then, and he was a close friend of your maternal grandfather, Partridge Whistle, through thick and thin!"

"It's him!"

Sherry Yang never expected that the leader of the Unloading Ridge gang, who had once stolen from Bottle Mountain with her grandfather, was still alive.

Su Mo nodded. "That's right, it's him. He lost his night vision because of tomb raiding back then, and he's been living in hiding in Gulan County for many years. He might know about the Inner Hidden Cave..."

The fat man thought about it and felt that what Su Mo said made some sense.

All signs indicate that Blind Chen and Jin Suanpan, the tomb raider, were definitely colluding; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked them to collect Jin Suanpan's body.

Others may not know the secrets of Gulan County, but Blind Chen has been entrenched in Gulan County for many years, so he must know many secrets, perhaps including Li Chunfeng's secrets.

That's all for today...

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Mo stood up. "Let's rest here with this fellow villager for the night and go find Blind Chen tomorrow morning!"

Everyone agreed with Su Mo's suggestion. A lot had happened today, and everyone was exhausted, especially Big Gold Tooth, who looked sickly. Fatty was afraid he would die on this Loess Plateau.

"Going to sleep..."

The fat man pulled up the man with the gold tooth, "Grandpa, could you please arrange a place for us to sleep? We're young and healthy, any spot will do..."

"Come on, kids, my family has quite a few earthen beds..."

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Su Mo called for everyone to get up early.

"Brother Su..."

The fat man was pulled up by Su Mo before he was fully awake, muttering, "It's not even dawn yet, why don't we sleep a little longer?"

Su Mo, along with Big Gold Tooth, Fatty, Shirley Yang, and Old Hu, headed towards Gulan County. Hearing Fatty's complaints, he turned around and explained, "Ma Dadan might be lying in wait for us in town. It's better to be cautious..."

Upon hearing this, the fat man suddenly remembered that there was a ruthless and vicious man named Ma Dadan in the city.

The fat man couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised, "Brother Su is really thoughtful!"

The group discreetly entered the city and went straight to the guesthouse to find Blind Chen.

"The sun rises in the east, a distinguished guest arrives; why hide away..."

As the group crouched down and entered the guesthouse, they heard Blind Chen's voice drifting into their ears.

Everyone was taken aback and looked up in the direction of the sound. They saw Blind Chen sitting at his fortune-telling stall, looking relaxed and at ease, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Old Hu asked, "Is the old man waiting for us?"

Despite using a cane, Blind Chen put on quite a show. "Judging by the time, you should be back by now, so I've been waiting for you here!"

"Old man!"

The fat man sat down opposite Blind Chen without hesitation, his tone quite displeased, "Old man, we've been to the Horned Bone Temple, descended the Dragon Ridge Maze, and buried the remains of your friend Jin Suanpan. Are you satisfied now?"

Seeing the fat man's aggressive attitude, Blind Chen smiled slightly, "Not bad, it seems you understand my good intentions. By the way, where is Jin Suanpan's fragrant jade?"

Shameless! You even want to smell the fragrance of jade!

Chen the Blind's words made Su Mo laugh. "Old man, that's not fair! We regard you as a senior expert and listen to your every word. Not only have you tricked us, but now you want the Fragrant Jade. This... is really unreasonable!"

The fat man jumped to his feet and roared, "Old man, if you don't give me an explanation for what happened this year, this is absolutely not over!"

Su Mo and Fatty worked together seamlessly, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, putting pressure on Blind Chen. However, Blind Chen remained calm and showed no sign of panic.

After all, he was the leader of 100,000 bandits in the past. Even if he was down on his luck, he wouldn't be intimidated by these two young men!

Blind Chen grinned, revealing several large, yellow teeth. "Don't worry, you've done me such a big favor, I won't let you suffer any loss. Just give me the Fragrant Jade, and I'll tell you about the Red Spot Curse..."

Blind Chen spoke calmly, as if he had Su Mo and the others completely under his control.

"Old man..."

At this point, Old Hu couldn't stand it any longer. "We've known about the Red Spot Curse for a long time..."

"..."

Old Hu's words startled Blind Chen.

They've come with ill intentions!

Blind Chen knew this matter was unlikely to end easily, and he gripped his sleeves tightly. "Since it's not about the Red-Eyed Curse, then... what business do you have with this old man?"

"We are here for..."

Old Hu was about to speak when Su Mo interrupted him, "Grandpa, it's fine to collect Jin Suanpan's body, after all, he was a senior. But you schemed against us, almost causing us to die in the Dragon Ridge Maze. We need to settle this score properly!"

Su Mo crossed his arms and looked at Blind Chen with a hostile expression.

Chen the Blind Man was silent for a moment, then said, "Although I was once the leader of the Unloading Ridge Clan, I am now just a blind, lonely old man..."

Upon hearing this, the fat man's fierce expression faded, and he glanced at Su Mo as if to ask, "After all, Blind Chen is a lonely old man. Have we gone a bit too far?"

Su Mo gestured for the fat man to calm down, "Grandpa, don't worry, we're not bad people..."

Seeing that Su Mo wouldn't budge despite his pleas and threats, Blind Chen had no choice but to sigh and say, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Su Mo smiled, knowing that Blind Chen had taken the bait. "Old man, since you let us go into the tomb, you have to pay us. The Fragrant Jade is a pair, and I know the other piece is in your hands..."

This kid is really taking advantage of the situation; the Fragrant Jade is a priceless treasure!

Blind Chen clenched his fists, but felt powerless. He had spent his whole life playing with eagles, and in the end, he had his eyes pecked out by a few young eagles. It was a disgrace to tell anyone!

Helpless, Blind Chen took out the Scent Jade from his hand. Fearing that Blind Chen would change his mind, Su Mo immediately put the Scent Jade away.

Not bad, there was an unexpected bonus on this trip…

Su Mo was overjoyed, but he didn't forget the important matter. "Grandpa, do you know where the Inner Cave is around here?"

"Know!"

Blind Chen nodded. "Back then, Jin Suanpan told me that the Inner Cangyuan was located beneath the Fishbone Temple!"

Chapter 58: Entering the Tomb Again (First two chapters, with some changes to the storyline)

【bite…】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the system's selected task. Reward: Little Divine Peak Dagger (the same style as that used by Chen Yulou, the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction)]

As Chen Yulou finished speaking, the system reward was also sent to the system space.

Su Mo grinned, "Thanks, sir!"

With that, Su Mo stood up, turned around and was about to leave, and the others also turned and walked out.

"and many more…"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yulou suddenly stopped everyone, saying, "Last night I was restless and specially cast a divination for myself. The divination showed that a phoenix would come to pay homage, and my fate would change..."
