Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Chapter 36 Insect Fragrance Jade, A Tribute to the Gatling Bodhisattva

Hu Bayi and Chen Pi Asi realized that there must be something wrong with their surroundings, but they were already here, and the palace in front of them did look like the entrance.

Upon entering the main hall, it was pitch black all around. When you shone a flashlight around, the light traveled very short a distance.

This wasn't the first time Hinata Hoshino and Hu Bayi had encountered this situation; the same approach was used in the main hall of the Jingjue Ancient City.

The interior of the main hall was coated with reflective paint, and everyone suddenly felt irritable. Hyuga Hoshino remained calm. With the blessing of the Zhang family's Qilin bloodline, most of the methods in the ancient tomb were no longer effective against Hyuga Hoshino.

As they walked forward, past the centipede dragon statue and over the coiled dragon axle glass bolt, the two fat men were quite envious. These things were quite valuable; a pair had been auctioned off somewhere last year for two small fortunes.

Hyuga Hoshino pulled Wang Pangzi aside and winked at him. They had a basic understanding of each other, and Wang Pangzi understood. It meant that if there were no other funerary objects later, Hyuga Hoshino would compensate him.

Fatty Wang winked back, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."

Wang Kaixuan watched as Fatty Wang and Hinata Hoshino exchanged glances and could roughly guess what they meant: as long as there was income, who cared about the rest?

These doors are taller than large storage scrolls, and they can't be folded in half to fit inside.

Ahead, a huge square stone appeared.

Chen Pi Asi gestured for two people to go and open the square stone.

Chen Pi Asi: Monk Hua and Lang Feng lend a hand.

Lang Feng: It's so square, there must be something good down there.

After carefully examining the stone, Hua Heshang and Lang Feng lifted it up. To their surprise, the stone did not lie beneath the tomb passage.

Chen Pi Asi felt that the tomb passage should be located under the bluestone beneath the square stone.

Chen Pi Asi: Monk Hua and Lang Feng, lend a hand.

Lang Feng: These blue bricks are so square, there must be something good underneath.

Repeat six times, then a seventh time.

Lang Feng: Master, Monk Hua, lend a hand.

Chen Pi Asi: This brick is so square, there must be something good underneath.

Hinata Hoshino was trying not to laugh; it was such a familiar scene.

Hei Xiazi noticed that Hyuga Hoshino was suppressing a laugh. "Second Master, what are you laughing at?"

Hinata Hoshino explained to Hei Xiazi, who was trembling all over, and then offered a helping hand.

As we all know, smiles don’t disappear, they just move.

Hyuga Hoshino and his group, disregarding martial ethics, allowed Chen Pi Asi, an old comrade in his nineties, to begin the demolition.

None of the three of them laughed. Hei Xiazi, mysterious and holding back his laughter, explained to Wu Xie and the others, which resulted in Chen Pi Asi looking up at Hyuga Hoshino and the others.

A group of people were trying to suppress their laughter, their whole bodies trembling.

Chen Pi Asi: ? Are they trying not to laugh? Be serious, this is tomb raiding!

"Cough cough cough."

Hinata Hoshino smiled outwardly, but inwardly she was laughing her head off. The others pinched their thighs, barely managing not to laugh.

Chen Pi Asi pointed to the unearthed object, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a stone tortoise.

Hinata Hoshino smiled and patted his head, "Good boy, are you a land turtle or a sea turtle?"

The strangely accented "Guai Guai" drew laughter. Chen Pi Asi helplessly slapped his forehead. What kind of people are these unreliable Wu Sansheng?

However, as soon as Hinata Hoshino interrupted, everyone who was feeling annoyed instantly lost their mood.

Chen Pi Asi: Was this also part of your plan?

Hinata Hoshino: No problem.

"There's a fragrant jade down there. To avoid trouble, Si-zai, don't touch it."

Chen Pi Asi looked at the stone tortoise with suspicion. He brought the compass closer to the tortoise, and the compass needle spun faster. Chen Pi Asi felt an unprecedented cold, like blowing a fan on a snowy day—it was freezing cold.

"There's one more thing: don't burn it with fire, and definitely don't pour water on it after it's been burned, otherwise it will crack."

Lang Feng nodded in agreement, saying, "I've learned something. I'll give you a more challenging lesson right away."

"If we don't destroy this stone turtle, how can we find the correct location?"

"Master Ba Yi, give Si Zai a job."

"Fourth Grandfather, according to the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique, if a magnet is buried in the correct location, the feng shui can be altered."

If it were Zhang Sanlianzi, even if Sun Guofu said these things in front of him, Chen Pi Asi would believe it without a doubt. But what about Hu Bayi?

Hu Bayi has already demonstrated remarkable feng shui skills. Should we believe it? It's better to believe it.

Lang Feng gestured to Monk Hua, indicating that Chen Pi Asi had not agreed with Hinata Hoshino's suggestion to burn it.

Take out the solid fuel, sprinkle it on the magnetic turtle, walk out of the pit, and light it. "Whoosh!" The fire surged.

Lang Feng grinned at Chen Pi Asi, and with a "splash," poured the water from the kettle onto the magnetic turtle.

The magnetic turtle cracked open with a "clatter," and black mist spread out from it. Chen Pi A Si was shocked; it was indeed the Insect Fragrance Jade.

Lang Feng, something's wrong with him. I never expected that at ninety years old, despite all my usual precautions, "it" would still manage to infiltrate him.

If the secret of the Insect Fragrance Jade is revealed, they will likely become a meal for centipedes. Other factions wouldn't be so foolish as to perish with them.

Centipede: It has the aroma of a delicious meal.

Immediately, a rustling sound came from above. Wu Xie looked and saw many centipedes, their impact no less than the swarm of corpse beetles he had seen in the Seven Star Lu Palace.

"laugh"

A centipede killed Lang Feng, who died from being brainless.

The centipedes swarming in from all directions startled everyone. They were poisonous, and while a bite wouldn't be fatal, it would certainly be painful. With so many of them, one bite from each insect, no one could withstand it.

"Hahaha, it's finally my turn again, the insect exterminator, the snake destroyer, to make my appearance."

Chen Pi Asi was speechless. How old was this thing?

"Please, insect exterminator." 7

"Gentle Fist, Bagua, Empty Palm, Gatling Gun: A Praise to the Bodhisattva."

The endless force of the empty palm struck out in all directions, and with a "whoosh," countless centipedes were killed with a single blow, leaving a layer of insect corpses on the ground.

Hinata Hoshino: Aye, are you moved? This is the threat your father has cleared away for you.

Wu Xie: I dare not move, I dare not move.

The palm strike accidentally injured one side of the wooden corridor, causing it to collapse and reveal a passageway.

Chen Pi Asi: What a Wang Zanghai! He's really something!

Hinata Hoshino finished his work, not because he was done fighting, but because he had run away. These centipedes were different from the previous corpse beetles; their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm was still there, and they wouldn't keep coming forward to be killed by Hinata Hoshino.

Clapping his hands, Hinata Hoshino felt satisfied, experiencing the same feeling as Xiao Ge—a feeling of being full after a good meal. (Large portions get a discount!)

I'll introduce this to Brother Xiao later. He'll wipe out a bunch of bugs quickly, and after he's done, he can sleep soundly.

"That passage was created unintentionally by you, young friend. Perhaps it is the real entrance."

Si Zai's silence about Lang Feng suggests he's noticed something's wrong with Lang Feng.

Hinata Hoshino approached Lang Feng, slapped down with one hand, and the familiar large-eared thunderbolt fell, centipede, dead.

After turning Lang Feng over, hot water was poured onto Lang Feng's shoulder, revealing a phoenix tattoo.

Chen Pi Asi's pupils widened in shock. It turned out that "it" people had such distinctive characteristics. But why did this tattoo look like the one on Xiao Ge's body, and why did it appear when heated?

Chapter 37 The Mischievous Owl

Hu Bayi took out a compass. The compass needle was normal. After a simple calculation, he figured that after the magnetic tortoise changed the feng shui, the tomb below might be connected to the tomb of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves.

"Fourth Grandfather, Master Xing, there might be a passage below that connects to the Tomb of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves."

"Oh?"

Chen Pi Asi felt what it meant for heaven to always find a way out. He now had no doubt about Hu Bayi's feng shui skills.

The group descended along the collapsed section. Hyuga Hoshino activated his Byakugan, found the drainage path left by Wang Zanghai, and decisively began to lead the way.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a drainage road."

Chen Pi Asi threw an iron pellet into the cave entrance. The pellet landed with a "thud".

The sound proved that there was flat ground below, and not far from here, so Monk Hua went in first.

"Master, it's safe."

One by one, everyone descended, with Chen Pi Asi lagging behind. After landing, they continued forward, stepping on the stone steps, which were only about thirty-four yards long.

Good heavens! Hinata Hoshino discovered that the area near the hot spring was teeming with centipedes. He hadn't expected so many to have escaped the net.

If the Gu poison is successfully developed, Chen Duo's small frame probably won't be able to fit in it.

Hinata Hoshino patted the people around him and told them to turn off their flashlights. Look at this spectacular scene.

When the flashlight is turned off, countless green dots of light appear, like a starry sky.

Wu Xie's face turned pale, and the others also looked unwell. This number was probably tens of thousands of small targets.

When he turned on his flashlight, the points of light disappeared. Wu Xie felt better when he couldn't see them.

Carefully avoiding the centipedes, Hinata Hoshino was eager to step on one, but the young man and the black bear reacted quickly, supporting Hinata Hoshino from the left and right.

A double win—this is a privilege most people don't even receive! I'm so proud.

A 13-year-old man who is "unable to take care of himself" was kidnapped by Hei Xiazi and Xiao Ge. If they can get a ransom, Hei Xiazi will not hesitate to pay it.

After dodging the centipede formation, the group arrived at the crater, below which stood a solemn palace complex. Hinata Hoshino stroked his chin, noting that it was almost identical to Wang Zanghai's model—truly befitting a top LEGO enthusiast.

Upon entering the main hall, the two fat men began searching around, expecting to find something, but found nothing.

Two human-faced owls, one on the left and one on the right, rested their heads on the shoulders of the two fat men, making it look as if the two fat men had an extra head.

Headless Blue-Faced Fox Corpse: I heard someone has an extra head, give me one.
