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

At the very front was a massive palace, with a side hall on each side of the square.

The layout is well-organized and ingenious!

This celestial palace far surpasses the palaces of emperors on earth!

Old Hu carefully examined the palace directly in front of him and said, "This should be the Minglou Pavilion of the Xianwang Tomb!"

Shirley Yang frowned. "Ming Lou?"

Su Mo explained, "The Minglou is the tall building directly in front of an ancient emperor's tomb. Inside the building are stone tablets inscribed with the emperor's temple name and posthumous title!"

Shirley Yang seemed to understand but not quite, "Does that mean the tomb of the Prince of Xian is right behind the Ming Tower?"

Su Mo shook his head. "Ordinary emperors and generals do indeed have their tombs behind the Ming Tower, but this Prince Xian's ambitions are sky-high, so he cannot be judged by ordinary standards..."

Sherry Yang nodded, feeling that Su Mo's words made some sense. A guy who built his tomb in the sky—just from that, one could see the arrogance and conceit of the King of Xian.

Old Hu took out his compass and glanced at the surrounding terrain, saying, "Dragon Mountain rises into the clouds, Insect Valley is deep and sinking, covering a hundred miles, and the world is cut off every other day. All of these are in line with the feng shui pattern of the tomb. I really underestimated this upstart emperor..."

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the stone steps in Minglou Square.

"Oh? What does it say on this?"

The fat man arrived in front of the stone tablet at the Minglou Tower, looking at the crooked symbols on it with a blank expression.

Is this text?

Is this even written text?

Are you bullying Fatty because he's not well-educated?

Shirley Yang glanced at it and said, "Profound and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders!"

At this moment, Su Mo and Lao Hu also arrived in front of the stone tablet. Su Mo glanced at it and then read aloud, "Lingyun Heavenly Palace, Huixian Treasure Hall!"

"Meeting Immortals?"

"Know Mao Zixian?"

The fat man looked completely bewildered.

A nobody from the borderlands, you think you're some kind of fairy?

The fat man spouted a string of witty remarks, "If you ask me, this old man, Xianwang, is just delusional about wanting to be a god. He should be taught a lesson about the iron fist of socialism and the vast ocean of the people's revolution..."

You're a real genius!

Old Hu glared at the fat man, then said, "I wonder if there are any clues about the Muchen Pearl inside this Minglou..."

Upon thinking of the Muchen Pearl, the fat man quickly said, "Yes, yes, the Muchen Pearl, the Muchen Pearl is important!"

The fat man stepped forward and used all his strength to push open the Minglou door.

"Hey!"

"what!"

Looking at the unmoving door, the fat man deflated. "What's going on? Why can't I open this door? Brother Su, I still have some military bombs..."

Before the fat man could finish speaking, Old Hu interrupted him mercilessly, "The four of us, one is a descendant of the Mountain Moving Taoist, two are tomb raiders, and one is a tomb excavator. Using bombs while tomb raiding, isn't that shameful?"

"Hey Lao Hu, don't argue with me..."

The fat man felt wronged. "My method won't work. Tell me, what should we do?"

"Of course I have a way..."

Old Hu appeared very calm and turned to Su Mo, "Brother Su, can you give me a solution..."

If you're unsure what to do, ask Su Mo!

Old Hu is too lazy to use his brain.

Fatty: "..."

The fat man felt humiliated, and thus felt even more aggrieved.

"Ha ha…"

Su Mo chuckled lightly, "It's not that complicated!"

Su Mo took out the Dragon-Tiger Scepter he had obtained a few days ago from his backpack, located the acupoints, and pressed it in.

"Crack crack crack crack crack crack crack crack crack!"

Shortly after, the stone gate mechanism was activated.

The two large doors slowly opened automatically.

The fat man stared in shock at the automatically opening stone door. "Wow! This Prince Xian is just like Li Chunfeng! They're both so cunning. They both put the keys to the important levels in the least conspicuous places at the beginning!"

"Damn it, so everyone's gotten here without the key. They can't find it anywhere, and the mechanism just won't start. Is this some kind of warning to turn back?"

While the fat man complained, he secretly rejoiced. If it weren't for this scepter, even if they had gotten this far, they would have been blocked at the door.

Su Mo smiled and continued forward.

Fatty Lao Hu, Xue Li Yang, and Su Mo slowly walked into the Minglou building.

Inside the Minglou building, the golden light from outside had disappeared, making it much darker. The four of them took out their hand lamps and silently observed their surroundings.

Looking at the exquisite murals inside the Ming Tower, Old Hu murmured, "It seems that Prince Xian spent his whole life dreaming of attaining immortality!"

Su Mo nodded slightly. "Perhaps he thinks he's a person of great fortune. After all, even the great emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu, sent people to demand the Muchen Pearl, and yet it's in his hands. He thinks it's all Heaven's arrangement, Heaven guiding him to attain immortality!"

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Who are you, and why do you disturb my thousand-year slumber!"

Chapter 85; Female Ghost, Doll

"Who are you, and why have you disturbed my thousand-year slumber!"

The sudden shout startled Lao Hu and Shirley Yang.

Su Mo remained calm and composed, because he had already recognized whose voice it was.

"Hahaha…"

The fat man sat on the throne of the King of Xian, laughing loudly, which made him cough. "Cough cough... Old Hu, Staff Officer Yang, look at you guys... Look how calm Brother Su is!"

Seeing the fat man's prank, Shirley Yang and Lao Hu were instantly furious.

"Wang Kaixuan!"

"Fat!"

While Sherry Yang was still trying to control her emotions, Old Hu, who didn't tolerate the fat man, went up and pulled him off the throne. "What are you doing? Do you think you can just sit on that dragon throne like that?"

"What dragon throne?!"

The fat man shone his flashlight on the two snake statues next to the throne and said with a grin, "These are the two snakes. This is more like a snake chair, haha..."

"Hey, everyone says they want to be an emperor, right? I, Fatty, will experience it for myself. Actually, it's not comfortable sitting here, it's so hard..."

The fat man knew that Lao Hu and the fat man were in a bad mood, so he looked around but avoided their eyes. "Brother Su, do you think this snake seat is valuable? If it is, we'll take it..."

Su Mo was scanning the murals on the wall and didn't directly answer the fat man's question. He just replied vaguely, "It's valuable. You can take it with you later..."

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the fat man's smile froze instantly. He looked at the throne and realized it must weigh at least 300 pounds!

Sherry Yang chuckled, amused.

Seeing Su Mo's focused expression, Old Hu became suspicious and quickly walked up to Su Mo, asking, "Young man, what does it say up there?"

The murals are alright, but the ancient script from the Xianwang period is something Lao Hu really doesn't recognize!

Su Mo slowly said, "The ancient seal script roughly means that it is the phoenix gall transformed from the Earth Mother. Legend has it that it can help people become immortals. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, this pearl fell into the hands of King Xian!"

"Later, when the Han emperor learned of this, he sent an envoy to demand the treasure. King Xian was unwilling to give it up, so he led his people to separate from the ancient Dian Kingdom and moved to western Yunnan. He spent hundreds of thousands of people building King Xian's tomb, all in the hope of ascending to immortality!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the fat man's eyes lit up. "Hahaha, the Muchen Pearl is right here! This time, it was the Prince of Xian himself who admitted it!"

Su Mo reminded everyone again, "Look up there!"

Old Hu, Fatty, and Shirley Yang quickly looked up at the top of the mural.

Su Mo continued, "The crown worn by the Prince of Xian should have the Muchen Pearl embedded in the center, so the three of you can rest assured. Given how much the Prince of Xian cherishes the Muchen Pearl and how important it is to help him achieve immortality, the Muchen Pearl must be here, there's no mistake!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Shirley Yang's eyes reddened, and she couldn't help but shed tears. "The Zaglama tribe has been searching for the Muchen Pearl for over a thousand years without finding its whereabouts. My father even spent his entire life trying to save my mother and me. It seems that he was on the right track. It's a pity, we were just one step away!"

Thinking of her father, Shirley Yang sobbed.

The Zaglama ethnic group. Her maternal grandfather, generation after generation, tried desperately to find hope, but generation after generation found nothing but despair.

Su Mo sighed deeply, "Everything in the world. There is always a glimmer of hope under the heavens, but it is hard to find. The Zaglama tribe searched for thousands of years without success. Now you have found it. This is your destiny, you should be happy..."

"Yes, Chief of Staff Yang..."

Old Hu also comforted him, saying, "There are some things we can't control. The only thing we can do now is to find the Muchen Pearl as soon as possible and fulfill your father's last wish. I believe he would be happy for you if he knew this in the afterlife!"

Sherry Yang's eyes reddened, but her mood improved considerably. After all, this was a joyous occasion, and the curse of the Zaglama tribe would end in her hands!

"Eee... Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from inside the main hall of Minglou.

The sound was extremely sharp and penetrating. It sounded like a ghost's scream, startling Shirley, Yang, Lao Hu, and Fatty.

"Did you all hear that?"

Old Hu quickly looked around.

Shirley Yang looked flustered. "It sounded like a woman's laughter!"

"Eek...ya!"

The sound came again.

Old Hu gripped his submachine gun tightly and said, "Whether they're human or ghost, let's... figure that out first!"

Su Mo said, "Let's go, we'll find out when we get there!"

The four began searching for the source of the sound inside the main hall.

"Eee...ya!"
