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

Before long, the Yi family took out a map and marked the approximate locations of the three fortified strongholds on it.

"The approximate locations of these three golden pools are here; let's decide by drawing lots."

Yi Xiao took out a divination stick container.

The three sticks are placed in a container, shuffled, and then drawn by the heads of the three households.

Yi Xiao drew lot number B.

The Ding family members drew the first-place lot.

The Jiang family is represented by the Bing sign.

The map only marks the approximate location; to open a Jin Tang restaurant, one must also be able to assess the feng shui and geomancy skills.

Both the Ding and Jiang families are very confident.

However, what they didn't know was that Su Chen had inherited the legacy of the Tomb Raiders and was already highly skilled in feng shui.

After the draw, the three companies went their separate ways.

Su Chen led Yi Xiao, Hei Bei Lao Liu, and the two juniors, Su Yitian, to the location of the "B" sign.

This location is about 120 kilometers away from Yijia Village, and the mountain roads along the way are rugged.

After two days and two nights of travel, we finally arrived at our destination.

Su Chen stood on the mountain, gazing at the Lancang River below.

"Mr. Su, please wait a moment while I calculate it."

Yi Xiao wanted to find the approximate location of Jintang.

"I'll do it."

Su Chen observed the direction of the mountains and the water.

The so-called dragon veins are divided into mountain ranges and water veins. Mountains have no fixed shape and water has no fixed form.

"The outermost Bing fire is born in Yin, and its life cycle is determined by the flow of water. The innermost Yi wood is born in Wu, and its life cycle is determined by the flow of water."

"Yang turns from the left, Yin arises from the right!"

"..."

Su Chen muttered to himself, having already determined the direction.

"over there!"

Su Chen pointed to a spot in the Lancang River.

"This……"

Yi Xiao was surprised that Su Chen was so strong, easily pinpointing the location of Jin Tang.

"Build the raft and go down the river!"

Yi Xiao immediately said.

Having lived on the water for many years, Yi Xiao knows a great deal about water.

After the bamboo raft was secured, everyone boarded it and arrived at the center of the river.

First, a sacrificial ceremony was required. After the ceremony, Yi Xiao touched the ancestral tablet representing the Yi family on his chest and prayed that this time it would go smoothly.

She took out a bow and arrow, the arrow engulfed in flames.

As the arrows were fired, a wall of fire formed around the bamboo raft as a warning line.

It turned out that Yi Xiao had already placed some flammable materials around the bamboo raft, which would be difficult to extinguish even if they came into contact with water.

Then they set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits.

The final step is to throw the heads of cattle, sheep, and pigs into the water to clear a path.

The final step is to use the ancestral tablet as a guide.

At this point, the magical artifact that guides the water demon is also a key.

"Open the Golden Fortress!"

Yi Xiao shouted loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone except for Blackback Six who was waiting on the water jumped into the water.

Before long, the group found a huge stone gate underwater.

The stone gate was several tens of feet high and extremely thick.

It takes a lot of effort to push open this stone door.

Fortunately, Su Chen had acquired the Six Arts of the Water Demon, and he quickly swam backward.

Immediately, Su Chen used the power of the river to create a whirlpool around him.

This is the power of the water demon; it is several times stronger in water than on land.

Sweeping with boundless power, Su Chen crashed into the stone gate.

"Boom!"

The stone door made a heavy sound and opened a crack.

Immediately afterwards, river water flowed back into it.

Su Chen pushed open the stone door with force.

Seeing this, Yi Xiao was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth. Was this the power of the Six Arts of the Water Demon?

It’s really powerful.

The Yi family only knew of this power through legends.

According to the stories passed down from generation to generation by the clan elders, those who learned the power of the six arts of the water demon were almost omnipotent underwater.

Yi Xiao had thought the elders were exaggerating, but after seeing it today, he realized that the power of the Water Demon's Six Arts was indeed extraordinary.

I wonder if the Yi family will teach Mr. Su the Six Arts of Water Demons after the matter is accomplished, since he supports Mr. Su as the master of the Three Rivers Water Demons.

I hope that Mr. Su can take into consideration the Yi family's hard work and not pass on all his skills to them, but just two or three of them would be enough.

"go in!"

Su Chen led the way into the passage.

Seawater filled the passageway.

Along the passage, Yi Xiao saw many stone sculptures several meters tall, with ferocious faces, holding tridents, human heads and fish bodies, and an indescribable strangeness.

About ten minutes later, after passing through the passage, we finally arrived at a culvert.

There is already an open space here, and there is oxygen.

Before becoming a water demon, it cannot breathe in water.

Everyone quickly took a few deep breaths of air.

“There should be a hole here connecting to the outside world,” Su Chen said. “Let’s rest for a while.”

Su Chen noticed that they were all struggling.

After all, their strength has not yet reached the level of the Water Demon, so it is still somewhat difficult for them to be as comfortable as fish in water underwater.

For ordinary people, holding their breath for three to five minutes is already quite good. Even someone like Yi Xiao, who deals with water all year round, can only hold his breath for about twenty minutes.

Unfortunately, oxygen cylinders and such were too difficult to obtain at that time, otherwise it would have been much more convenient.

"I wonder how the other two companies are doing."

Yi Xiao said slowly.

"No matter how fast their progress is, it certainly won't be as fast as ours."

Su Yitian laughed and said, "Miss Yi, to be honest, we've been to too many large tombs. This one is a piece of cake for us."

The Insect Valley Tomb and the Kunlun Divine Palace Tomb that we explored before, weren't they all fraught with danger?

Su Yitian really didn't care about such a small tomb.

"We still need to be cautious," Yi Xiao said. "There are just too many unknown things underwater."

The Yi family has been operating underwater for so many years and has seen too many bizarre things, far more complex than the large tombs on the shore.

"Let's go on."

Seeing that the two still had the energy to bicker, Su Chen spoke up.

After passing through the culvert, another stone gate appeared behind it.

There are also many special patterns on this stone gate. At first glance, the things in the patterns are neither human nor beast.

"It's a water demon."

Yi Xiao explained, "Many people like to associate water demons with water monkeys, but that's not actually the case."

"The water demon is a spirit in the water, and it is said to have the ability to bewitch people."

"When you encounter it, you must not look into its eyes, otherwise you will fall into an illusion."

Yi Xiao touched the pattern on the stone door. "Back then, when tombs were built for those high-ranking officials, nobles, kings and generals, a few water monsters would be placed inside to prevent tomb robbers."

"Over the years, those water demons have either died or transformed into formidable monsters."

"However, we've opened the Golden Fortress so many times that most of the water monsters in the tombs have disappeared, so there's nothing to worry about."

Su Chen nodded. Although he had inherited the Four Seas Ancestral Token, there was still much he didn't know about underwater matters.

Yi Xiao is an expert in this field.
