Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, the group organized themselves and headed to Zhelong Mountain.

The road was rugged, so everyone had to walk and used more than a dozen horses to transport the supplies.

Su Chen walked at the very front, while Partridge Whistle cut off its tail.

We walked until dusk, and finally saw a high mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

The mountaintop appeared to be covered in snow.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, it shone with a golden brilliance.

Su Chen stopped and gazed at the mountain scenery.

"Stand facing southeast (巽向) with a slight deviation towards the southeast (巳向)."

"Stand facing the southeast (巳) direction, with a slight deviation towards the southeast (巽) direction."

"Water flows from right to left, collecting the prosperous water of Gengyou and Xin on the right rear shoulder, the official water of Kunshen, the crown-wearing water of Dingwei, the heavenly noble water of Bingwu, and the original long life water, all flowing together into the proper treasury of Guichou, which is the proper life direction!"

"Mercury is weak and cannot form a burial site on its own. It may form a burial site near metal, which is like relying on the mother. Or it may form a burial site by leaning on wood, which is like relying on the child. The northwest is the best location."

Su Chen muttered to himself.

According to feng shui, there must be a large tomb here.

"Master Su!"

Battalion Commander Liu with the scarred face walked over and said, "You've been traveling for so long, let's find a place to rest for a while."

Battalion Commander Liu's physical condition is not as good as Su Chen's and the others.

After a long journey, everyone looked tired.

"After traveling a little further, there is a place to rest ahead."

Su Chen said.

If I remember correctly, there is a village called Zhelong Village at the foot of Zhelong Mountain, which is mostly inhabited by the descendants of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

If you want to go to Insect Valley, you should first use Zhelong Village as your base.

Although the people of Zhelong Village opposed outsiders setting foot in the Insect Valley and even sent people to obstruct them, Su Chen's side had more than a hundred guns.

The villagers wouldn't dare to act recklessly either.

After traveling for nearly two more hours, just before dark, the group finally arrived at a quaint village.

This village is small, with a total population of about one hundred.

The walls were built of stones, and the roof was covered with dry thatch.

For thousands of years, few outsiders have set foot in Zhelong Village.

The village is isolated, and although there is some interaction with the outside world, it is very limited.

The procession of over a hundred people entered Zhelong Village, startling even the old clan chief.

Seeing that these people were all carrying guns, the old clan chief dared not make a move.

"May I ask, esteemed gentlemen, what brings you to Zhelong Village?"

The old clan chief asked tremblingly.

"We'll rest here for a few days. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just provide us with three or four rooms to rest."

Battalion Commander Liu waved his hand, signaling the old clan chief to make the arrangements.

Before long, the room was tidied up.

Su Chen, Yin Xinyue, Partridge Whistle, and others moved in, while Battalion Commander Liu's subordinates set up camp in the village.

"Send more people to patrol at night."

Su Chen reminded Battalion Commander Liu.

"Don't worry, Master Su, nothing will happen."

Battalion Commander Liu patted his chest and said, "With me here, I can guarantee your safety."

……

the other side.

After the old clan chief left, he frowned.

He went straight to a thatched hut and respectfully said, "Mr. Zhang!"

"come in!"

A voice came from inside the room.

After the old clan chief went in, standing opposite him was a middle-aged man who was disheveled and unkempt.

He lay on the bed looking disheveled.

There were several empty wine jars under the bed.

"Mr. Zhang, quite a few outsiders have come today."

The old clan chief said worriedly, "I'm afraid something will happen in the village."

"They came here this time specifically for the forbidden area."

The disheveled middle-aged man already knew the purpose of Su Chen and his group.

"But...this..."

The old clan chief panicked.

That's the most mysterious place in the Zhelongzhai lineage, and outsiders are forbidden from setting foot there.

"We can't stop them, let them go."

Mr. Zhang waved his hand.

With over a hundred guns at their disposal, even though they were all seasoned soldiers, the villagers of Zhelongzhai couldn't withstand them.

"Is there really no other way?"

The old clan chief was somewhat unwilling.

"I'll talk to them tomorrow. I should go to bed early tonight."

Mr. Zhang picked up another jar of wine, took a few big gulps, and then fell asleep in a daze.

His name is Zhang Hulu, and his father is none other than the famous Zhang Sanlianzi.

There are rules in the tomb raiding world: one generation takes over for three generations, and the Tomb Raider Talisman cannot be passed down to one's own descendants.

Zhang Hulu learned a lot of skills from Zhang Sanlianzi, but he never went down into a tomb. He opened several shops in the city.

Fortunately, the shop is doing well, and life is quite enjoyable.

Unfortunately, his good days didn't last long. Someone coveted his business and tried every means to drive him away.

Thus, Zhang Hulu single-handedly wiped out more than a dozen of his enemies.

The matter escalated too much, and Zhang Hulu had no choice but to go into hiding.

He lived in seclusion in Zhelong Village. Several years later, he went to the area outside the Great Wall and joined the bandits, resuming his family business. Later, when bandits were suppressed, Zhang Hulu was recruited and made some contributions.

He then settled in the area outside the Great Wall, married and had a son named Sima Hui (who took his mother's surname).

Later, Zhang Hulu sent his son Sima Hui to the capital to learn skills under the drunkard Zhang Jiuyi. He not only learned the Zhang family's art of divination and scorpion climbing the city wall, but also became extremely proficient in feng shui and divination, earning him the nickname "Master Hui the Eighth".

Among the younger generation, he is definitely one of the strongest.

Of course, this is a story.

At this time, Zhang Hulu was still down on his luck.

He was very skilled; he had learned most of Zhang Sanlian's techniques.

Unfortunately, Zhang Sanlianzi never let him go into the tomb.

Zhang Hulu had heard many of these things from Tianchuchi, Jin Suanpan, and Tie Motou.

As for Sun Guofu, who has the ability to see ghosts, he can only be considered half a disciple.

When I sobered up, it was already broad daylight outside.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning glow stretches for miles.

Zhang Hulu stretched and got out of bed. Without washing up, with his hair all messy, he went to the front of Su Chen and the others' room.

Although he had never been to a tomb, the Tomb Raider Talisman was not passed down to him.

But he can also be considered a descendant of the tomb raiding lineage.

He understands all the slang in the industry.

"Let's spread some vines. Where did everyone come from?"

Zhang Hulu was not afraid of these people and asked them directly.

"When visiting a mountain, one must visit Longlou Mountain, where golden light shines. The tomb raider's seal is on the talisman, and the golden wind blows across one's face."

Su Chen hadn't expected that the dirty-looking middle-aged man in front of him was also a tomb raider.

So he revealed his identity.

"Nonsense, I've never seen anyone like you. Who's your master?"

Zhang Hulu was startled and, disregarding everything else, immediately questioned, "Is it a golden abacus or an iron millstone?"

"neither!"

Su Chen shook his head. "I was lucky enough to inherit the legacy of the Tomb Raider Captain, but I'm only half a Tomb Raider Captain."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for coming into contact with the story character Zhang Hulu, family progress +16%."

The system's voice rang in Su Chen's mind.

Su Chen was also surprised to learn that the person was a descendant of Master Zhang.

It's really like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu (a legendary Chinese general).
