The next morning, before Uncle Jiu came to ask Rosen how the talisman he drew actually attracted lightning, Master Ren came with his daughter Ren Tingting.

There were thunder and lightning over the charity cemetery last night, and everyone in Renjia Town knew about it. Mr. Ren was worried about his father's body, so he came early in the morning to inquire about it.

Uncle Jiu stayed up most of the night without sleeping and finally figured out how to explain to Master Ren. The general idea was to say that Master Ren was buried in a legal way after his death, so his body did not decay. This was beyond common sense and was not tolerated by the laws of nature, so a lightning bolt was sent down last night to take him away.

All in all, this matter has nothing to do with the Ren family, it’s just that God can’t stand it.

When Master Ren heard that his father's body had been chopped into charcoal, he did not get angry as Uncle Jiu worried. Instead, he said, "As long as it's not burned, it's fine. In that case, please find a place to bury him as soon as possible."

Uncle Jiu naturally had nothing to say, and immediately found a place and people to bury Old Master Ren.

After this matter was settled, the matter between Qiu Sheng and the female ghost came up again, but Rosen did not intervene.

Because at this time he had already said goodbye to his uncle Jiu, saying that staying at home all the time was not conducive to building a foundation and entering the Tao, and left Renjia Town to travel.

Although Uncle Jiu was reluctant to see Rosen leave, he also felt that reading thousands of books was indeed not as good as traveling thousands of miles, so he did not stop him.

Before leaving, he reminded me: "When you are out, be careful about everything. It is right to see and learn more, but you must also distinguish between good and bad. Don't be careless and go astray. It will be too late to turn back."

"Yes, disciple will remember it." Rosen accepted the instruction respectfully and waved goodbye.

Chenjiazhuang, Xiangyin.

Chen Yulou, dressed in a moon-white gown, looked at the refugees outside the village scrambling for food, and felt worried.

Although the Chen family was financially strong, they were starting to have a hard time opening the granaries and storing grain for a month.

Originally, he wanted to help the local people in Xiangxi, but who could have imagined that once the news spread, refugees from other places would continue to pour in. As the granaries gradually became empty, the refugees gathered more and more, and the money in his hands became less and less because of the continuous purchase of grain.

This made him start to consider whether he should take his brothers out to find a big tomb and make a fortune, which would also alleviate this urgent problem.

It so happened that his sworn brother, Luo Laowai, a former Xiangxi bandit and current warlord, came to visit him and said that the military pressure was a bit too much recently and he wanted to get a batch of British rifles, but the military funds were not quite there, so he wanted to ask him to come out of retirement, bring with him a hundred or so experts in unloading mountains, lead an engineering battalion, and bring explosives into the mountains, so that the officials and bandits could cooperate to open a few large tombs and make a fortune, and then the two families would make five out of five, and Chen Yulou would continue to provide relief to the victims, while he would expand the armaments.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately became interested and set his sights on Pingshan Mountain.

But he knew that the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty had always been buried deep and treasured, without being sealed or planted with trees.

But that place is located in the Miao area. The Miao people are best at using poisons, and there are many legends about corpse driving and falling into caves in the local area. It is bound to be dangerous and should not be involved lightly.

If you want to go in, you have to explore the way carefully first, otherwise you will go there and never come back, and become a laughing stock among others when you die.

So after some discussion, Chen Yulou disguised himself and took three capable subordinates with him, namely the cunning Hua Maguai, the skilled Hong Girl who was good at all kinds of ancient magic tricks, and the powerful Kunlun Moler, and headed towards Laoxiongling to find the Yuan Dynasty tomb hidden in Pingshan.

Originally, Luo Laowai said that he was worried about Chen Yulou's safety and wanted to bring his men with him to escort him.

However, Chen Yulou refused without hesitation, in order to avoid exposing his intentions and causing trouble, and asked him to leave the hundreds of men from his engineering battalion and pistol company behind, and only take a few of his most trusted confidants with him.

For the sake of money, Luo Laowai finally agreed.

Everyone, including Chen Yulou, had only heard of Pingshan before but had never been there. It was not until they asked the local mountain people that they realized they were already in Laoxiong Ridge, and the Pingshan they had been thinking about was deep in the mountains of Laoxiong Ridge.

There are several villages in front of the ridge. In addition to the Miao people, there are also Han people and Tujia people.

Chen Yulou and others disguised themselves as traveling merchants and went to the village, beating small copper gongs to sell and trade. They indeed heard a lot of useful information from the villagers in the village, and they also hired a half-grown boy named Rong Bao Yixiao as a guide.

As there is a rule in the village not to let outsiders stay overnight, and now bandits are rampant and have massacred several villages, the villages are now all on guard and will close the gates at night, and will not allow outsiders to stay overnight.

Chen Yulou and the others naturally did not want to leave, but they also knew that it was unlikely to stay in the mountain village, so they thought of going to a corpse-collecting inn in Laoxiongling to stay and rest at night.

This Zanguan is actually a charity cemetery, which is mainly used to store the remains of Han people who died in foreign countries. When there are too many remains, special people will transport them outside and send them back to their hometowns.

This charity cemetery is located deep in the mountains and forests, but it is quite large. It was originally an abandoned mountain temple with three courtyards in front and back. Although it has collapsed and damaged, one can still vaguely see its grandeur when it was first built.

When everyone arrived, it was already after nightfall. The moon was cold and the stars were sparse. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the mountain breeze blew, making a rustling sound, which was really creepy.

That is to say, Chen Yulou and others had done a lot of tomb robbing in the past and were very brave. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, he would have been scared to death when he came here.

At this moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the silent night, and deafening thunder instantly resounded in all directions.

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand and pushed open the main door of the charity cemetery. He walked into the dark room and saw a hideous-looking statue of a mountain god staring at him and others.

Caw. A crow squatting on the beam looked down at everyone and made a hoarse cry.

This made everyone feel uneasy.

Hua Maguai was born as a coroner, and he believed in paying respects to mountains and water. At this time, he bowed to the statue and said, "We are passing through a deserted mountain and missed our place to stay. We will stay here for one night. I don't mean to disturb you. I hope you will forgive me."

Chen Yulou glanced at him and said, "How many times have I told you, don't believe in ghosts if you follow me."

Before he finished speaking, someone in the coffin answered, "If you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts. You still have to believe in them. As the saying goes, there are gods above your head. You still have to have the proper respect. Otherwise, if you do too many bad things, it will be easy to suffer retribution."

"Who?! Come out!" Before Chen Yulou could say anything, Luo Laowai next to him had already pulled out the ivory-handled revolver from his waist, aimed it skillfully, and shouted sternly.

But his body froze immediately, because a black and cold sword was placed across his neck.

People in later generations often say: A gun is fast and accurate within seven steps, which is indeed true. However, if a knife is placed on your neck, even if you carry a nuclear bomb, it will not be as fast as the knife unless you explode and die together with your partner, let alone a revolver.

Note: The katana is shorter and has a smaller curvature than the katana, so its usage is naturally different.
