Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

After the Lantern Festival, the good days for the Zhang family's boys will come to an end.

The tribal school has reopened, and in addition to the content learned before, it has added many new courses, which are also more difficult than last year.

The sheer variety and breadth of the subjects taught left Su Xingze in awe.

Sometimes he wondered if there was a learning system in the Zhang family that allowed the children in his family to learn so much from a young age.

Of course, this question disappeared after he entered the Zhang family's library.

The Zhang family's library is located underground in the Zhang family's main building, which is said to be several hundred years old and has stood here since the Zhang family established their homeland in Northeast China.

The library is located underground in the main building and houses ancient books and secret techniques accumulated by the Zhang family over a thousand years.

Much knowledge has long been lost to the outside world in the torrent of history, but it is still preserved in this family that has been passed down for thousands of years. However, some things can no longer be truly learned and have become legends and stories that enrich the knowledge of the Zhang family.

For example, the "Ten Spirits Scripture" written in oracle bone script in Su Xingze's hand, according to the "preface" on the first page, involves ancient witchcraft, divination and blessing, witch doctors and poisons.

Some of the witchcraft recorded in it is truly unpredictable and incredibly strange. Although the Zhang family has collected this book, "The Ten Spirits Scripture," which records countless ancient witchcraft traditions, no one has ever been able to learn it because only those with the legendary witch bloodline can meet the threshold for learning it.

However, this was no problem for Su Xingze. His talent meant that he could break through various limitations, including the various secret techniques and racial skills that could only be learned by people with special bloodlines and physiques.

It was because his talent was too great that it aroused the greed of some people, which led to his tragic death.

The materials displayed outside the library for the Zhang family to study were all copies; the original works had long been preserved by the Zhang family in the lowest level of the library using special methods.

The Zhang family's main building is riddled with traps, and the underground library is equipped with a special bloodline array and countless mechanisms, making it one of the safest places in the entire Zhang family compound.

The reason for mentioning the library is that, starting this year, in addition to the knowledge taught at the clan school, the Zhang family's children can also enter the library and choose to study on their own what interests them.

Because of the special nature of the library, the Zhang family could only enter and leave once every six months, and each time they could only stay for half a month. When they left, they were not allowed to take even a piece of paper with them, and all the knowledge they learned depended on their own memory.

During the two weeks he spent in the library, Su Xingze studied the "Ten Spirits Scripture," while Zhang Shenglin cherished the opportunity to enter the library and tried his best to memorize the ancient books he could see to enrich his knowledge.

Because he was so focused, Zhang Shenglin forgot to eat many times.

Because of his constitution, Su Xingze could stay full for a long time after eating a small amount of food at once. At first, no one noticed that he hadn't eaten for several days. It wasn't until Zhang Shenglin almost fainted from hunger that Su Xingze forced him to eat on time every day.

After leaving the library, the clan school held classes for three months as usual, and then the boys were once again taken to a dark underground cave.

Su Xingze was carrying a small package containing two sets of clothes and enough dry food for about ten days.

This is what the tribal school teacher asked them to prepare yesterday. It is said that starting today, the new courses will no longer be conducted at the tribal school. They have already completed the purely theoretical courses and will officially begin the 'practical courses'.

"Are we going down into the tomb?" Su Xingze was a little excited about the idea of ​​going down into the tomb, since no one used burial anymore in his time.

Because of the pervasive power of pollution, not only traditional burial, but also water burial, ice burial, space burial, and other practices that were popular more than a hundred years ago have all disappeared.

Whenever someone dies, regardless of how they died, they must be cremated as quickly as possible. But even so, a large number of people still become abnormal after death.

Zhang Shenglin stared calmly ahead, while the usually composed young men of the Zhang family were now somewhat restless.

He shook his head, unable to give a definite answer to the little mermaid's question.

"The Zhang family is really strange. This place is so close to the clan's territory, why would they build their house next to the cemetery?" Or rather, why would they build the cemetery next to the clan's territory?

But when Su Xingze thought about what the Zhang family did, he didn't find it strange anymore.

Just then, the familiar clan school teacher stood in front of all the boys and began to feel along the wall with the two long fingers that were unique to the Zhang family.

Press a button with your finger, and a small hole will appear, just big enough for one finger to go in.

The teacher inserted his index finger into the hole, and somehow touched something. His fingertip gently hooked and turned in the hole, and the sound of a mechanism turning rang out. A dark door opened in the corner of the wall.

Inside the door, a downward staircase is faintly visible, an endless staircase that resembles a gaping maw of an abyss that devours everything.

The clan school teacher turned around and gave a serious look at the group of teenagers in front of him, his eyes filled with a hint of pity and sigh. This was a lesson that every member of the Zhang family would have to face.

"As members of the Zhang family, you need to learn to endure loneliness and withstand solitude without breaking down. This is the most important lesson I want to teach you."

Every tomb raiding trip is bound to be smooth sailing. There are bound to be times when you get trapped in a tomb for various reasons. Living underground for a long time, the first thing you need to learn is to be able to endure loneliness and to have the willpower to persevere in the darkness without going crazy.

"Below are countless individual tomb models. Go down, each of you choose one tomb to enter, and only one person is allowed in each tomb. I will seal the tombs, and you will need to survive for a month in a tomb without light, without companions, and with only a small amount of food and water."

"I will come to pick you up in a month."

Su Xingze didn't know what the other Zhang family teenagers thought when they heard their teacher's words; he just felt that the Zhang family was really abnormal.

He secretly curled his lip. The Zhang family wasn't short of money, and he now barely knew a little about their history.

Leaving aside the fact that this family existed at least as far back as the pre-Qin period, the Zhang family members were all professional tomb raiders and underground workers, making them a major family in the tomb raiding world.

A family of tomb raiders that has developed to this stage must possess astonishing wealth, as evidenced by the fact that the main building is filled with antique decorations.

Other families, whether they committed murder and robbery or serious crimes that led to the confiscation of their property and the extermination of their clan, all thought first after becoming wealthy and powerful in order to distance themselves from the past and clear their names.

However, the Zhang family was different. Despite being so powerful and possessing wealth that could rival that of a country, they did not think of stopping and transforming the family so that their descendants could live honest lives. Instead, they insisted on raising their descendants to be tomb raiders from a young age.

It's simply incomprehensible.

The Zhang family is indeed a strange and perverse family.

Regardless of what Su Xingze thought, under the teacher's watchful eye, the first person entered the tomb chamber.

The stairs were long, and there was no light in the tomb passage, but for the Zhang family boys who had been trained since childhood, the darkness could not stop them from moving forward.

The spiraling staircase seemed endless, and influenced by the eerie atmosphere, the boys gradually became afraid to even breathe, let alone speak.

The atmosphere was so unpleasant that Su Xingze really wanted to show his true colors and tear down this suffocating and gloomy place, but when he thought about the consequences of doing so, he forcibly suppressed his impulse.

Zhang Shenglin walked in front of Su Xingze, then suddenly paused. He secretly reached out and grabbed Su Xingze's wrist before continuing to walk down.
