Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

In the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away, Dumb Zhang was walking aimlessly like a sleepwalker. Ever since he listened to Chang Zhengyang's experience in cultivation, all his mind had been focused on thinking, and he was wandering around like a sleepwalker.

At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of wind and birds singing could be heard, but he continued walking as if he was unaware of it.

Suddenly, a rapid satellite phone beep broke the silence. Dumb Zhang stopped and took out the phone from his pocket. He saw the flashing distress signal and the simple text description on the screen, and learned that Wu Xie and Wang Lei were trapped underground near Heihe Town. A strange look flashed in his deep eyes, which was fleeting, and then he observed the direction.

His body was as fast as lightning, and he shuttled through the mountains and forests at high speed. Along the way, thorns tore his clothes, but could not leave any marks on his skin. When he encountered a steep slope, he used his legs to jump up and easily crossed a height of several meters. His movements were as agile as a monkey in the mountains.

When a turbulent river appeared before him, he stepped into it without hesitation. The water was turbulent, and the waves kept hitting his body, but they could not shake him at all. He moved forward steadily, and the splashes of water sparkled in the sun.

On the way forward, a huge rock blocked the way. Dumb Zhang took a look and walked to the rock without hesitation. He clenched his fists, his muscles tensed, his blood vessels bulged slightly, and with a loud shout, he smashed his fists into the rock like a cannonball. With a loud bang, the rock was instantly smashed to pieces, and the debris flew all around.

After a long journey, Dumb Zhang finally arrived at the entrance of the underground passage that trapped Wu Xie and the others. He quickly went down the passage, and his footsteps echoed in the empty passage.

Wu Xie, Wang Lei and Lin Xiao were trapped in a small space, surrounded by a despair. Just when they felt helpless, Wu Xie heard footsteps approaching from afar. He nervously clenched the wooden stick in his hand, signaling Wang Lei and Lin Xiao to get ready.

When the figure of Dumb Zhang appeared in the dim light, Wu Xie and Wang Lei stared at him vigilantly, their eyes full of alertness. "Who are you? How did you find us?" Wu Xie asked loudly.

Dumb Zhang didn't say anything, just looked at them quietly, then pointed at the satellite phone, then pointed in the direction of the exit, and motioned for them to follow him. Wang Lei was puzzled and muttered, "Why is this guy silent? Isn't he in the same group as those black-robed men?"

Lin Xiao said timidly: "Anyway, he doesn't look like a bad guy. Maybe he really is here to save us."

After a stalemate, Wu Xie weighed the pros and cons and decided to follow the dumb Zhang first. The four continued to move forward along the passage, with the dumb Zhang walking in the front. His tall figure was like a solid fortress, which gradually gave the three people behind him a glimmer of hope. They didn't know who this mysterious mute was or what kind of ability he had, but at this moment, he was their only lifeline.

Chapter 8: Discovering the Hidden Dragon Vein and the Great Tomb

Led by Zhang the Mute, the four of them slowly moved forward along the winding passage. The passage was dark and damp, filled with a pungent stench of decay. The walls were covered with unknown mosses, which flickered with strange lights in the dim light. Wu Xie held the flashlight tightly in his hand, and the light swayed around, reflecting their nervous and expectant faces.

As they were walking, Wu Xie suddenly stopped, squatted down, and carefully observed the faint lines on the ground, frowning: "Everyone, don't go yet, look at these lines, they seem to contain mysteries." Wang Lei and Lin Xiao also hurried over, staring at the ground with a confused look on their faces.

Dumb Zhang leaned forward slightly, his eyes swept across the ground, then he stretched out his hand and gently felt along the lines. After a moment, he stood up, looked at Wu Xie, and made a simple gesture in the air with his fingers, indicating that this was the clue to the hidden dragon vein. Wu Xie understood instantly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "So that's how it is, it seems that we are really not far from the hidden dragon vein. The White Lotus Sect chose to operate here, and it must have a great connection with this hidden dragon vein."

When everyone heard this, they were inspired and quickened their pace. As they went deeper, the temperature around them dropped significantly, and the air was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, as if it had traveled through time and space and brought them into a long-forgotten world.

Suddenly, the mute Zhang Meng raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. He pointed ahead, and under the dim light of the flashlight, a huge stone door was looming. The stone door was engraved with complex and exquisite patterns and mysterious and obscure symbols. The traces of time left mottled marks on it, but it did not reduce its majesty and solemnity at all.

"This should be the tomb of the previous leader of the White Lotus Sect." Wu Xie couldn't suppress his excitement, and his voice trembled slightly. Wang Lei's eyes widened with greed: "This is going to make a fortune, there must be too many treasures in it to count!"

Wu Xie glared at him: "Don't just dream of getting rich. This tomb is full of traps. If we are not careful, we will all die here." Lin Xiao tightly grabbed Wu Xie's clothes, with fear and curiosity in his eyes: "What do these patterns and symbols mean? They are so scary."

Dumb Zhang walked to the stone door alone and carefully examined the patterns and symbols on it. His fingers gently moved on the stone door, sometimes pausing, sometimes tapping, as if he was having a silent conversation with the stone door. Wu Xie and others stood nervously by, not daring to breathe.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise from the walls on both sides of the stone gate, and then countless sharp arrows shot out from the dark slots, shooting towards everyone with a sharp whistling sound. In a flash, Dumb Zhang turned around quickly, his hands dancing like a phantom, emitting sharp winds. The sharp arrows broke in mid-air and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Wang Lei was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped: "This... what kind of kung fu is this? It's amazing!" Wu Xie was also shocked and became more and more curious about the identity of Dumb Zhang.

After resolving the crisis of the sharp arrow, Dumb Zhang once again focused his attention on the stone gate. He stretched out his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and the fingertips glowed slightly. It was his Fa Qiu finger. As his fingertips quickly tapped on the stone gate, the symbols on the stone gate began to slowly light up, emitting a strange light.

"He is cracking the mechanism!" Wu Xie shouted excitedly.

Sure enough, not long after, the stone door made a dull roar and slowly opened. An old and mysterious atmosphere came to their faces, as if calling them to enter this unknown world. The four looked at each other, took a deep breath, and under the leadership of Dumb Zhang, walked into the stone door carefully.

As the four entered the stone gate, a strong smell of decay hit them in the face, making them feel sick. The tomb was filled with a strange mist, and the dim light flickered in the mist, barely illuminating a small area around. Dumb Zhang walked in front, his hair-raising finger ready to respond to possible dangers at any time, while Wu Xie, Wang Lei, and Lin Xiao followed nervously behind, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

They entered a spacious tomb, the walls of which were covered with lifelike murals depicting the sacrificial scenes and mysterious rituals of the White Lotus Sect. In the center was a huge coffin inlaid with various exotic gems, emitting a cold light. Wang Lei's eyes were instantly attracted by the gems on the coffin, and he couldn't help but take a step forward: "If I take these gems out, I won't have to worry about the rest of my life."

Wu Xie quickly grabbed him and whispered, "Don't move. This place is full of dangers. Who knows what trap will be triggered if you touch it."

Dumb Zhang paced around the coffin, carefully observing the surrounding environment and the details on the coffin. Suddenly, he found a very thin crack at the bottom of the coffin, which seemed to hide something. He squatted down and gently inserted his finger into the crack, trying to explore the mystery.

At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the tomb, and then the ground began to shake violently, and the murals on the walls fell off one after another. Countless hidden arrows shot from all directions, with deadly whistles. Dumb Zhang quickly stood up, waved his hands quickly, and the sharp wind from his hair-shaped fingers knocked away the hidden arrows shot at them.

Wu Xie and Wang Lei were not to be outdone. They picked up the rocks around them and threw them in the direction of the arrows, trying to disrupt the firing rhythm of the arrows. Lin Xiao hid behind them, watching all this in horror.

After finally dodging the hidden arrow, the ground suddenly cracked, revealing a bottomless trap filled with sharp bamboo sticks. Wang Lei stumbled and almost fell into the trap, but fortunately Wu Xie was quick and grabbed him.

"This place is too weird, let's get out of here quickly!" Wang Lei shouted, gasping for breath.

Wu Xie shook his head: "Now that we are here, we can't give up so easily. Dumb Zhang, what can you do?"

Dumb Zhang did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the coffin, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he walked to the coffin again and knocked on it quickly with both hands, making a series of strange noises.

As he struck, the gemstones on the coffin began to flash with different lights, and gradually formed a complex pattern. At the moment when the pattern was complete, the coffin slowly opened, and a black smoke poured out.

Everyone retreated cautiously, their eyes fixed on the coffin. When the smoke cleared, a figure dressed in gorgeous clothes slowly stood up from the coffin. It was the previous leader who had been sleeping for two hundred years. At this moment, he had transformed into a powerful corpse king. The corpse king roared, jumped out of the coffin, and rushed towards everyone. A thrilling battle began.

Led by the mute Zhang, the three of them walked carefully along the dark and deep passage.
