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

"Open the golden treasure chest!"

"In a carriage," Su Chen said slowly.

"Ding, opening!"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Burial Scripture inheritance!"

The Book of Burial?

Su Chen immediately searched his mind for clues related to the Book of Burial.

The Book of Burial was written by a master more than 1,700 years ago.

It not only discusses feng shui and its importance, but also introduces specific methods for site selection.

The book "The Book of Burial" is the foundation of Feng Shui culture in the nine provinces of China.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there emerged the "Tomb Raider Captain," a master who was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and possessed extensive knowledge of geomancy.

He is very likely also a successor of the tomb raiders.

Moreover, he took a different path!

This kind of burial feng shui technique is extremely rare.

There are many people who know how to go into tombs, but very few who know how to read feng shui.

Even someone as powerful as Partridge Whistle wasn't very knowledgeable about feng shui. In order to find the Muchen Pearl, he even planned to find someone to help him observe the stars and look at the feng shui.

However, Su Chen had been helping him all along, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Chen Yulou's feng shui skills were only mediocre; they weren't particularly strong.

With this in mind, Su Chen placed the inheritance of the Burial Scripture into the clan's skills system, intending to make it so that all the people of Su Family Village could learn it.

Immediately, Su Chen opened the system panel.

[Golden Mission: Lead your clan members to explore the Ruins of the South China Sea. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with a golden treasure chest.]

Su Chen noticed that the family's progress had increased by another 40%.

It must be because the old clan chief found the clansmen who had been lost.

At the same time, the system's tasks also begin to update, requiring the exploration of new tombs.

This great tomb contains an unparalleled treasure—the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror.

Let's go later, and take some time to rest and recuperate.

Su Chen and the others planned to return to Sujia Village first, and on the way back, they would also visit the Ding family in Huanghe.

……

A week later, Su Chen and his group appeared in a small town.

This small town was originally inhabited by the Ding family, either from the main branch or a branch.

The town was once extremely prosperous, but now it has begun to decline. At midday, there was not a single person in the town.

Upon arriving at the Ding residence, Su Chen glanced at the quiet town.

Living in chaotic times, one is not in control of one's own destiny.

The Ding family failed to choose sides, which led to their current predicament.

The same applies to Su Chen. If Su Chen were to die, the people of Su Family Village would likely fall apart and be devoured by external forces.

"Husband!"

Yi Xiao walked out of the Ding residence with a smile.

"We have successfully subdued the Ding and Jiang families."

"We're taking stock of the Ding family's treasure trove today!"

Yi Xiao smiled and took Su Chen's arm, leading him to the place where the Ding family stored their treasures.

"But if you ask me, the Ding family is quite poor."

Yi Xiao pondered and said, "After taking inventory, we found that the Ding family's treasures, all put together, are probably only worth 15,000 silver dollars."

"Not bad. Considering the need to maintain the family's operations, leaving behind this much is already quite frugal." Su Chen smiled. "Pack up all these treasures and take them with you."

This was Su Chen's plan, since the Su family had also participated in this operation.

We can't come here for nothing.

Therefore, the Su family received five thousand silver dollars, and the remaining ten thousand silver dollars went to the Yi family.

This would allow the Yi family to develop rapidly and gain control of the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins as soon as possible.

After a flurry of activity, the next morning arrived.

Yi Xiao led the Yi family members, along with his sixth uncle and the younger generation of the Su family, and the whole group headed towards Changsha City.

He bought a train ticket in Henan and went straight to Changsha City.

On the train, Yi Xiao told Su Chen about the Jiang and Ding families.

“When we arrived, only the elderly, women and children remained from the Ding and Jiang families,” Yi Xiao said. “These people are easy to deal with, but I still feel uneasy.”

“There’s nothing to worry about. If you had died back then, the Ding and Jiang families wouldn’t have held back against the Yi family either!” Su Chen advised. “In times of chaos, one must be decisive in killing.”

“We must eradicate evil completely and nip it in the bud. Otherwise, when the Ding and Jiang families grow up, their first thought will probably be to seek revenge on us.”

“They will do anything to harm us.”

"But it was clearly the Ding and Jiang families who attacked first. If they hadn't taken the initiative, how could things have come to this?"

Su Chen, on the other hand, took it all in stride.

These days, you can't stand firm without being ruthless.

A kind heart cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage finances; an overly honest person is destined to not survive in this world.

After receiving comfort from Su Chen, Yi Xiao felt much better.

Bored during the journey, she told Su Chen about the process of destroying the Ding and Jiang families.

Overall, we encountered almost no danger.

Although the Ding and Jiang families launched a strong counterattack, they could not withstand the fierce firepower from Su Chen's side.

Especially those submachine guns, they were practically spitting fire.

They easily eliminated the remaining members of both families.

Hearing Yi Xiao's sparkling eyes, Su Chen smiled and said, "If you like, I'll give your Yi family a few submachine guns too, but there's one thing we need to make clear beforehand."

"These submachine guns must be entrusted to someone you trust for safekeeping! They are very powerful, exceeding the scope of ordinary firearms."

"If it's not managed properly, something bad could easily happen!"
