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

The fat man glanced at the sculpture behind him and casually asked, "Look, isn't this a monkey?"

The three looked at the stone monkey statue covered in moss.

Old Hu nodded. "That's right. It's a stone monkey statue!"

Shirley Yang pursed her lips and said, "This should be a stone carving from the time of King Xian!"

Su Mo squatted down and parted the leaves on the grass to see a handful of red soil. He picked up some and looked at it.

Shirley Yang saw the red soil. Sensing something was off, she scooped up some and smelled it. "It smells like insect repellent..."

The fat man asked in confusion, "Repelling insects? Isn't the Prince of Xian an expert in witchcraft? Why is he afraid of insects?"

Old Hu looked thoughtful. "Blind Chen told me that although this King Xian is skilled in witchcraft, his greatest strength lies in the secret arts of geomancy..."

"If the Muchen Pearl truly exists within this Insect Valley, for such a large tomb to possess the aura of a celestial abode in terms of its terrain and feng shui, some kind of auxiliary burial site should have been constructed nearby..."

As he spoke, Old Hu looked around and said, "This place might be near one of the acupoints!"

Shirley Yang blinked and asked, "Can you pinpoint the location of the acupoint?"

Old Hu puffed out his chest, "Of course!"

"The 'transformation' section in my half-book of the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques is about changing the wind and water!"

"This dragon vein needs to be reshaped and its power altered, changing the wind and water. At least nine key acupoints near the earth's veins need to be activated, and the first acupoint is... transformation and rebirth!"

Seeing that Lao Hu was about to launch into another long-winded speech, the fat man interrupted, "Alright, alright, Lao Hu..."

"Listening to you talk is like listening to a stand-up comedy routine, with all the backstory and consequences... I don't have time for that right now..."

"Try to say things I can understand. Look how simple Brother Su always speaks; I can always understand what he says..."

"........."

Old Hu's lips twitched. He said, "Brother, I finally managed to show off in front of Shirley Yang, why are you bothering me?"

Old Hu shook his head and then focused on the important points, saying, "To put it simply, as long as the positions of these nine acupoints are changed, the feng shui can be kept tightly protected, and the earth's vein formation will remain intact for ten thousand years."

The fat man nodded again, seemingly understanding, "I see..."

Shirley Yang pressed on, "Where are those nine acupoints?"

The fat man also looked at Lao Hu with curiosity.

Old Hu: "..."

How embarrassing!

Old Hu glanced around, avoiding eye contact with the two men. "Alas," he said, "this place is covered by forest year-round, and now that the compass is malfunctioning, I really can't discern anything with the naked eye for the time being..."

"..."

Shirley Yang was speechless.

The fat man showed no mercy to Old Hu, "Hey, Mr. Hu, so you didn't realize... Then why all this commotion? Isn't it just a waste of time?"

The fat man's words were like a critical hit, inflicting a devastating blow on Old Hu, like being pierced by a thousand arrows.

Arrows pierced the heart, every knife drew blood!

Old Hu looked at the fat man with a confused expression. His eyes seemed to say, "Are you still my brother? You interrupted me when I was trying to show off, and when my attempt failed, you even added insult to injury."

Your brother wants to be in a relationship, why is it so difficult!

"Ha ha…"

Su Mo chuckled and watched the two clowns with great interest.

Seeing that Lao Hu couldn't give a clear answer, he finally spoke up, "From a feng shui perspective, if you build a temple on a mountain, there must be a mountain god temple in the Insect Valley. If I'm not mistaken, the entrance to the Xianwang Ruins is inside that mountain god temple!"

Old Hu nodded, "That's right, Brother Su is right..."

"If the customers are as expected, this should be the ninth acupoint—the Nine-Bend Mountain Pass!"

"Adding a temple at the end of this configuration enhances the dragon vein's power, acting as the finishing touch, instantly bringing the dragon vein to life..."

As he spoke, Old Hu glanced at Sherry Yang again, "Officer Yang, isn't the map of Blind Chen's human skin in your hands? Take a look..."

"OK…"

Shirley Yang quickly took out the map of the Tomb of the King of Xian, unfolded it, and placed it in front of the four of them. "There really is a mountain god temple here. I didn't even notice it before!"

Chapter 78: I want to spare their lives, why is it so difficult!

Su Mo looked at the red soil on the ground, then at the map, and said, "This is it. This mountain god temple is probably made of wood. That's why the red soil on the ground is for insect repellent..."

"Once we find the mountain god's temple, we can enter the tomb of King Xian..."

Upon hearing that the search area had narrowed again, indicating they were getting closer to the tomb of King Xian, the fat man excitedly clapped his hands, "Great! Great! That's wonderful..."

Old Hu was standing next to Fatty. Startled by Fatty's sudden outburst, he snapped, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so jumpy?"

The fat man chuckled, "Back then, so many people died because Blind Chen couldn't even find the tomb of King Xian. Now, Brother Su has led us to find the tomb of King Xian so easily. How could I not be happy..."

It's not that simple. The real danger isn't here; the tomb of King Xian is a deadly place.

Seeing the fat man's excited expression, Su Mo couldn't bear to disturb him. He shook his head and said, "Let's go, the Mountain God Temple shouldn't be far from us..."

After everyone had rested enough, they patted their bottoms and followed closely behind Su Mo.

The group walked and stopped frequently, and before they knew it, dawn was breaking.

Su Mo led the group into a narrow path, and the four of them passed through a stone passage. They then arrived at the door of a house.

The surroundings were extremely desolate. Not a blade of grass grew there. The more this was the case, the less careless Old Hu and Fatty dared to be. Holding their submachine guns, they pushed open the door and cautiously entered.

The first thing you see is a dilapidated mountain god statue. The entire room is filled with withered branches.

It looks like it hasn't been worshipped for a very long time; it's extremely desolate.

The fat man stepped forward, approached the statue, and said, "This temple is really well hidden..."

"But this place is so dilapidated..."

Seeing the dilapidated state of the mountain god temple, even the fat man, an outsider, couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Old Hu, holding a flashlight, surveyed his surroundings. "After all, this is inside the Insect Valley; it's too dangerous. No one would come here to burn incense and pray..."

"Besides..."

Old Hu then changed the subject, saying, "This temple was originally built because King Xian wanted to change the surrounding feng shui, not for actual incense burning and worship!"

Su Mo nodded, agreeing with Old Hu's words, "This place was originally set up by Prince Xian for his ascension to immortality, and its most prosperous period of worship was probably during Prince Xian's lifetime..."

As he spoke, Su Mo drew the golden compass from his waist again. "Old Hu, let's work together to calculate the entrance to the King Xian's tomb..."

"Fatty, Staff Officer Yang, you two should also check out the nearby caves or something..."

"Roger that!"

The fat man gave a military salute, chuckled, and the four of them went about their respective duties and dispersed.

Su Mo took the compass and began to calculate the entrance to the tomb of the King of Xian.

"To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains; each winding path is a barrier, and if there are eight barriers..."

"eight…"

Su Mo had only taken two steps when he saw a skeleton lying beneath the statue.

"Brother Su...we..."

Just as the fat man was about to utter a few sarcastic remarks, he caught sight of the skeleton beneath the statue. "Huh, that's strange. Someone actually got here before us, and judging by their clothes, they're not locals..."

Seeing a backpack next to the skeleton, the fat man immediately became interested. "Let me see which kind of deity this guy is..."

After saying that, the fat man excitedly got up and went forward to touch the corpse. Before he even started touching it, he saw a small sign with colorful flowers.

The fat man reached out and took it down: "There's a small sign here, and it looks like there are some words on it, take a look..."

Old Hu took the small playing card, blew on it to disperse the dust. "S, H..."

Old Hu and Fatty looked at each other, not knowing what this meant.

Old Hu and Fatty didn't know who this person was, but Su Mo certainly did. He sighed and said to Shirley Yang beside him, "Officer Yang, take a look. This person might be related to you!"

"Shirley Yang?"

"Chief of Staff Yang?"

Old Hu and Fatty were both taken aback.

Hearing the sound, Shirley Yang also came over. Upon seeing the small sign and then the skeleton, she immediately understood what was going on.

Shirley Yang's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she even recalled her father and the scene of giving him the small plaque.

Looking back on the happy life we ​​had in the past.

Sherry Yang felt even more heartbroken.

Old Hu stepped forward and comforted him, "Let's collect your father's body..."

"Um…"

Shirley Yang choked back tears, made room for her luggage, and put away her father's remains.

"Hey... here..."

When Old Hu was cleaning up the remains, he touched the ground and immediately noticed something was wrong. The stone slab next to the bones was connected to the other stone slabs; it was broken.

Old Hu looked up, "Brother Su..."

Su Mo crouched down and said, "This is a mechanism!"

After saying that, Su Mo pressed down directly, "Click click ...

The mechanism was triggered, and the eight small toad statues on the small stone platform slowly rose.

The fat man thought there was some danger, but when he saw that only a few toad statues had risen, he was completely dumbfounded. "How come so many little toads have risen up?"

"Hey, you guys think there's some hidden meaning behind all these toads here?"

Su Mo explained, "This is a mechanism. Once you unlock it, the hidden door inside the secret room will appear!"

Old Hu's understanding of mechanisms was far less than Su Mo's, so he humbly asked, "How do I activate this mechanism?"
