Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Where will it go next?

What is the value and meaning of our existence?

Since humans learned to think, one question after another has emerged.

A thirst for knowledge, a curiosity about new things, a desire to possess material wealth, and a desire to share beautiful things with others...

In this world, all kinds of desires intertwine and entangle with each other, forming this complex world.

In this intricate web of desires, some people bravely stride forward, striving to pursue their dreams;

Some people, however, become deeply entrenched in it and cannot extricate themselves, gradually sinking into depravity;

Others choose to remain neutral, observing everything around them impartially.

Everyone has their own choices, and each choice leads people down different paths.

The next day.

Seeing that there was nothing else for Mao Xiaofang, Xiao Shan took his leave.

After saying goodbye to Mao Xiaofang and the others, Xiao Shan left Gantian Town, found an empty cave, and chose to return to his own world.

Upon returning to Hong Kong, Xiao Shan's first priority was naturally to see his wife and children.

Seeing that his wife and children were all safe and sound, Xiao Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did they begin to inquire about the Taishan Group.

Since Taishan Group's business is now on track, Xiaoshan's absence in the short term will not affect the group's operation.

Time quickly passed to January 1977.

Ding Qiunan's due date is fast approaching.

Xiao Shan spent most of his time with Ding Qiunan.

Fortunately, he could chat with the people in the chat group to pass the time, otherwise Xiaoshan might have felt a bit bored.

Wu Xie: "My third uncle called me. We're preparing to set off for the Lu King's Tomb tomorrow!"

Zhang Chulan: "How does it feel to go down into a pit for the first time?"

Wu Xie: "I'm nervous and excited! But now that we have a chat group, I'm basically only excited!"

Hua Manlou: "We still need to be careful, lest we capsize in the gutter."

Wu Xie: "Yes, I will!"

Group admin Xiao Shan: "If you need any help, just tell us in the group! And if it's an emergency, you can also tell me, and I'll come over to help!"

Wu Xie: "Okay, thank you, group owner!"

Huang Rong: "Wu Xie, remember to livestream when you go down into the tomb for the trial, and remember to turn on night vision."

Wu Xie: "Okay!"

Ai Haibara: "Group owner, do you think my world also has those supernatural and ghostly things?"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Don't worry, your place is a world of Detective Conan, there won't be any evil spirits there!"

Ai Haibara: "That's good!"

……

Tomb Raider World.

The next day, Wu Xie got up early, packed his luggage, and met up with his third uncle and the others.

Wu Xie, Wu Sansheng, Da Kui, Pan Zi, and Zhang Qiling, a group of five, embarked on their journey to the tomb of the Prince of Lu.

As they approached their destination, they decided to take a shortcut by water.

This requires crossing a large mountain.

When they asked about nearby ferries, an old man came over and tried to solicit passengers.

The little old man appeared driving an oxcart.

Wu Xie could sense the Yin Corpse aura emanating from the old man from afar.

This is someone who grew up eating human flesh, and their body is filled with a thick layer of yin energy that can make ghosts and spirits mistake them for their own kind.

His body has been corrupted by yin energy, and he is currently in a state of being neither human nor ghost. A faint smell of corpse can be smelled when you get close.

Wu Xie knew this person had ulterior motives because he had already seen it in the video.

On the other side, Uncle San also sensed that something was wrong.

Wu Xie secretly circulated his cultivation technique, intending to store up a wave of solar energy, which should be useful in dealing with the ghosts and monsters inside.

The five followed the old man to the riverbank, where a dog exuding an eerie aura appeared.

The old man called it Donkey Eggs.

This dog also grew up eating human flesh.

Wu Xie looked at the dog and had an urge to kick it to death; it stank so badly and didn't even realize it.

Wu Sansheng pondered to himself, wanting to see how Wu Xie would perform.

Wu Xie looked at the old man warily, glancing at the big dog from time to time, and quietly increasing the distance between them.

"Third Uncle, something's not right with this person and dog. They smell terrible. They're definitely not normal people," Wu Xie whispered to Wu Sansheng.

Wu Xie knew that his third uncle was a cunning old fox who would later deliberately scheme against his nephew.

When the group arrived at the riverbank, they couldn't see a boatman at all.

The old man stopped the oxcart and looked at a cave in front of him.

Wu Xie also looked over and sensed an extremely strong yin energy swirling within.

What a wonderful place for cultivation!

Wu Xie quietly started a live stream, and Xiao Shan and the others quickly entered the live stream room.

Wu Xie soon received the evil-repelling gift package from Master Mao, which contained two pounds of talismans, sent to him via group red envelopes.

After Wu Xie received it, the item appeared in his group backpack.

Wu Xie pretended to open his backpack and took out a stack of yellow talismans from it.

There are four types of talismans: exorcism talisman, corpse suppression talisman, soul-capturing talisman, and evil-slaying talisman. There are about twenty of each type.

Wu Xie gave the talisman to his third uncle, Da Kui, and Pan Zi. He and Zhang Qiling were not ordinary people.

Having gained a huge boost, he is no longer afraid of these ordinary ghosts and monsters.

The old man driving the oxcart noticed the talismans in their hands, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Zhang Qiling had been keeping an eye on them, and he noticed the old man's unusual behavior.

"Nephew, where did you buy these talismans? They must have cost a lot of money, right?" Wu Sansheng asked curiously as he took the talisman paper.

"Third Uncle, this was a gift from a senior, it didn't cost a penny," Wu Xie said with a smile.

"Young Master, is this talisman effective?" Da Kui asked with some doubt.

Wu Xie replied without hesitation, "It will definitely work. That senior is a person who knows magic and has great supernatural powers."

"Nephew, when did you meet this senior? I don't know him at all." Wu Sansheng frowned.

Wu Xie immediately replied, "I met him at the antique shop. He was a Taoist priest from Maoshan, and he was an expert in talismans."

"From Maoshan?! Nephew, your antique shop is near Xiling Seal Engraving Society in Hangzhou, which is quite far from your home. The other party might have ulterior motives for contacting you. You should be careful in the future," Wu Sansheng warned.

"Donkey Egg, go and call your master over!" the old man shouted to the dog.

The black dog's name was Donkey Egg, and it seemed to be able to understand human speech.

After receiving the command, it first called out twice in response, then plunged into the river and swam vigorously toward the cave.

"This dog was raised by the boat captain since it was a puppy. It's very smart and understands human nature! It's an excellent swimmer!" Seeing Donkey Egg quickly disappear into the distance, the old man nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile to his third uncle and the others.

Mao Xiaofang: "Wu Xie, the Yin energy in the Jishi Cave is extremely heavy, and it is very easy for evil spirits and poisons to be generated. You must be careful in the next moment."

Wu Xie: "Thank you for your concern, Master Mao. We will handle this carefully later."

Yue Buqun: "That old man and the boatman are both treacherous people. What are your plans to do with them?"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Someone has already passed through this corpse cave before you, so the evil spirits inside must have been alerted."

Wu Xie: "If only we had a helicopter, they arrived more than ten days earlier than us."

Ren Weiyong: "Why didn't you tell your third uncle and the others?"

Wu Xie: "Thank you all for reminding me. Let me think about what I should say."

Wu Xie pondered for a moment, then looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle, was there a group of people who came here before? Were there any foreigners among them?"

The old man thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, a group of foreigners came here more than ten days ago. I don't know what they came here for."

"They definitely have ulterior motives; they might just be tomb raiders!" Wu Xie said in a deep voice.

"We're from a poor, remote area. What are you doing here? And with so much luggage?" the old man asked curiously.

"We heard that an ancient tomb has appeared nearby, so we came here to protect the cultural relics. We are archaeologists," Wu Xie replied casually.

The old man, upon hearing this, did not believe it at all.

He sized up the five men, said nothing more, and waited for the boatman to come over.

"Woof woof woof, woof woof!" The sound of a dog barking came from afar.

It called out exactly five times, indicating that there were five guests.

Hearing the dog barking, the old man said to Wu Xie and the others, "Wait a moment, the boatman will be here soon."

"Uncle, are there many ancient tombs around here?" Wu Xie asked.

The old man said mysteriously, "That mountain ahead is entirely made up of ancient tombs! I've heard it's extremely eerie and dangerous inside; those who go in rarely come out! The only way to get through is by taking a boatman's boat."

After hearing this, Pan Zi turned to Wu Sansheng beside him and said, "Third Master, in my opinion, we should go around the mountain. In broad daylight, it's safer to take the waterway than the mountain road."

Wu Xie has fair skin and looks like a novice.

Perhaps he was indeed a bit inexperienced when it came to such a challenging adventure mission.

However, Wu Xie shook his head and said firmly, "No need, that would take too much time. We must take the shortcut to get there. Those guys are already more than ten days ahead of us. If we don't hurry, they might loot all the cultural relics!"

Hearing Wu Xie say this, Wu Sansheng spoke up: "My nephew isn't afraid, so what are you afraid of? Don't embarrass me. You've followed me for so many years, how come you haven't made any progress?"

As Wu Sansheng was speaking, a pale-faced middle-aged boatman slowly steered his boat towards them.

His boat, made up of two small wooden boats joined end to end, sailed toward the small dock.

The dog shook its wet fur, wagged its tail at the crowd, and emitted a strong odor.

Wu Xie instinctively took a few steps back.

The middle-aged boatman was expressionless, looking quite eerie, with a deadpan expression.

After placing their luggage on the wooden boat, the five people boarded the boat.

The old man and the boatman were together, while Wu Xie and the others followed behind.

With the stern supporting the foremost boat, the two wooden boats slowly sailed away from the dock and headed towards a cave.

The old man kept telling strange and unusual stories, trying to instill fear in the crowd.

Da Kui and Pan Zi were both frightened, while Wu Xie and his third uncle kept their eyes on the boatman and the old man.

After entering the corpse cave, Wu Xie switched the live stream to night vision mode.

Despite the pitch-black environment, the chat group made everything clearly visible.

Uncle San used a flashlight to check the surroundings and found several circular holes above the cave.

"This used to be a dry cave, but later the water rose and it became a water cave," the old man explained to the group.
