The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Fang Yun nodded, smiled, and explained with a 'serious' expression.

“In his early years, Master Zhang did not engage in tomb raiding. He worked in the Kunlun Mountains and was a seasoned military officer.”

"After he reached adulthood, he left Kunlun Mountain, became an apprentice of a tomb raider, and began to do tomb raiding business."

"In just a few years, his name spread throughout the entire tomb raiding world."

At this point, Fang Yun paused, then asked Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle a meaningful question.

"Don't you think there's something strange about this? How did he get that nickname 'Three-Chain Man'?"

At this moment, Chen Yulou pondered for a moment and said, "The reason why Master Zhang is called Zhang Sanlianzi is because he has three tomb raiding talismans hanging on his body, so people call him Zhang Sanlianzi."

"Everyone in the martial arts world knows about this. Brother Fang, what is the deeper meaning behind bringing this up?"

Chen Yulou asked somewhat anxiously.

In some large clans and sects in the martial arts world, stealing someone's skills is a very serious matter. Although it is not as serious as in ancient times, it is not something to be proud of.

Seeing that Fang Yun was still keeping him in suspense, he couldn't hold back any longer.

He just wanted Fang Yun to find an excuse to deal with Partridge Whistle, otherwise how could a disunited team work together again!

Seeing this, Fang Yun shook his head helplessly and continued.

"Then I'll make it short. The reason why Master Zhang became famous in the martial arts world within a few years is because he obtained a secret treasure in an ancient tomb."

"The secret treasure is unknown, but it is all-encompassing, containing the complete sixteen-character celestial hexagram, yin-yang secret techniques, and countless ancient tomb-raiding techniques."

"He already possessed the skill of finding auspicious burial sites, and after obtaining this secret treasure, he became even more powerful, becoming a giant in the martial arts world in just a few years."

"In his later years, he retired from the martial arts world and compiled all his knowledge into a remarkable book called the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique!"

"The most extraordinary book under heaven!" Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yulou uttered a sentence with absolute certainty, his gaze towards Fang Yun growing increasingly shocked.

"Brother Fang! Did you obtain that extraordinary book?"

"It is said that after Zhang Sanye wrote it, he did not pass it on to his descendants. Later people thought that the book was a figment of his imagination."

Partridge Whistle also looked enlightened. He had heard of the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique, a legendary book in the tomb raiding world.

Seeing their reactions, Fang Yun nodded in satisfaction.

For him, who has the eye of God, talking nonsense is nothing. He can even bring the dead back to life. In any case, he has the final say, and no one can refute him.

"Ordinary tomb raiders are only good at finding auspicious sites and are not good at using their legs. The reason I am different is that I was fortunate enough to learn the secret techniques in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique."

"Kui Xing kicks the Dipper in the Yin-Yang scroll of that strange book. Although it is different from Moving Mountain, it is still similar in general."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, Chen Yulou stared at Fang Yun with his mouth agape, feeling a soreness emanating from his body.

Why wasn't Chen Yulou as lucky? The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique was a divine book in the eyes of all tomb raiders, yet Fang Yun actually obtained it.

No wonder Fang Yun, at such a young age, possesses abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people; he is truly blessed by heaven and has extraordinary luck.

At this moment, Chen Yulou looked at Partridge Whistle again, only to see that Partridge Whistle not only showed no dissatisfaction, but also shook his head with a look of disappointment.

“What are you all thinking? My senior brother isn’t that petty,” the old foreigner interjected.

"The Kui Xing kicking the Dipper is a skill that our ancestors learned from Maoshan. It's not something that only our clan can use."

The old foreigner looked helpless and said to Fang Yun:

"My senior brother thinks you learned your Kui Xing kicking the Dipper technique from our Mountain Moving senior, and wants to ask if that senior is still around."

Damn, I was careless and rambled on in the wrong place.

Upon hearing the old foreigner's words, Fang Yun awkwardly touched his nose.

He forgot that most of the techniques for moving mountains were learned after the entire clan migrated to the Central Plains, and were not family heirlooms he created himself.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have wasted so much breath.

"Brother Fang, there's no need to put me in a difficult position. I didn't mean to question you."

Partridge Whistle paused for a moment, then sighed.

"I moved mountains in search of pearls, and many of my predecessors never returned."

"So when I saw Brother Fang perform the Kui Xing Kick Dipper earlier, I thought that Brother Fang had encountered an elder of my clan, which is why I asked him about it."

"Thank you for your frankness, Brother Fang. I will keep it a secret for you."

Fang Yun felt a little embarrassed after hearing Partridge Whistle's words.

Although Partridge Whistle's hands are stained with countless drops of blood, he is truly a shy and straightforward boy.

At a time like this, to worry that he possesses secret skills might attract the attention of malicious individuals.

Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief after the matter was cleared up.

"Gentlemen, let's discuss this matter after we leave Ping Mountain. The body of the Tomb Guardian has been properly disposed of. Let's go up the cliff and investigate!"

"Right on my mind!"

Partridge Whistle, who had been somewhat disappointed, changed his expression upon hearing this and looked expectantly at the cave entrance hidden behind the wisteria.

So, the group composed themselves and turned their attention back to the main tomb of the Yuan Dynasty general.

(I got a nucleic acid test this afternoon, and the queue was so long, so it's not too much to just post a chapter on my phone, right? Mwah~)

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Underworld!

With the guardian spirit no longer blocking their way, the group quickly climbed up the cliff using the centipede-shaped ladder.

Fang Yun also carried the long spear of the Mausoleum Guardian on his back.

This spear weighs about thirty pounds, which is a bit light for him now, but when facing the Corpse King, the spear is much more effective than a pistol, and it can be used more freely in the main hall.

Soon, the group of Unloading Ridge Warriors climbed to the rock wall from which the Tomb Suppressor had previously emerged and cleared away all the vines on it.

At this moment, the entrance to the main hall also came into everyone's view.

The stone path was quite wide; it wouldn't be a problem for three or five burly men of Kunlun's stature to walk side by side.

Walking along the stone path, you can see several armor racks on both sides, filled with all kinds of weapons and armor. However, after a hundred years, these weapons and armor are almost rotten and broken.

Compared to that, even the Zhenling General's spear was a good weapon.

They hadn't walked far when a stone gate blocked their way. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the stone gate was engraved with many patterns and calligraphy.

Fang Yun took two steps forward and examined the stone gate.

The inscription on it is the Zhenling Genealogy, which briefly introduces the life and past of this Yuan Dynasty general, his great victory, and even his last words of resentment after failing to find the Muchen Pearl.

On that last message, there was also a relief of an eyeball shaped like a human eye, with large gaps around it, which looked like a hidden clasp.

"Muchen Pearl!"

Partridge Whistle also saw the relief of the Muchen Pearl and exclaimed in surprise, wanting to go forward to discuss it in detail, but after thinking about it, he didn't reach out to touch it.

The pattern is a hidden clasp, clearly connected to some kind of hidden mechanism or array.

"Senior brother, since the Muchen Pearl is engraved on the door, it should be in the hands of this Yuan Dynasty general, right?"

Upon closer inspection at the door, Hua immediately burst into laughter.

She's only been in the Moving Mountain Sect for half a year, and she's already about to find the Muchen Pearl?

It's not that difficult!

After glancing at the Muchen Pearl relief, Hua raised her chin and gave Fang Yun a smug little look.

That's like saying, "I've already found it without your help."

Fang Yun didn't speak, but just forced a smile.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. That Muchen Pearl... isn't even in Ping Mountain.

"Don't get your hopes up too high. I've seen many different forms of the Muchen Pearl along the way, but I haven't even seen a shadow of the real pearl."

"However, since there are murals of the Muchen Pearl here, we should be able to find something, since the Muchen Pearl is related to the Yuan people."

At this moment, the old foreigner said what Fang Yun wanted to say.

The old foreigner glanced at the excited Partridge Whistle and put on a relaxed expression.

Actually, he was also very excited, but he had seen this kind of scene far too many times.

Over time, before each tomb raiding expedition, he would give Partridge Whistle a heads-up, perhaps as a way of comforting himself.

Hearing the old foreigner's words, Partridge Whistle naturally understood his junior brother's good intentions. Composing himself, he patted the old foreigner on the shoulder and said:

"It's alright, having a clue is good!"

After speaking, Partridge Whistle looked at Fang Yun and Chen Yulou.

"Brother Fang, Brother Chen."

Fang Yun and Chen Yulou exchanged a glance and both nodded.

There is only that one hidden eye here, and no other array points exist. We can just explore directly.

"it is good!"

Partridge Whistle took a deep breath and pressed hard on the human eye relief.

Seeing this, the group of Unloading Ridge Warriors took out their round shields and held them in front of them to protect themselves from hidden arrows and traps.
