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

Apart from Li Shuguo, no one else felt particularly frightened, mainly because those present had probably already seen it before.

It's just a sitting dead man.

Su Chen approached and realized that Li Shuguo had made a mistake. It was a lifelike jade figure, and the craftsman's skill was obviously excellent. Even the robe worn on the outside and the corners of the robe were handled perfectly.

"It's alright, it's a jade piece."

"Jade...?"

Li Shuguo was taken aback, but mustered his courage and walked over. He discovered that the thing was indeed made of jade, and when he tapped it, he heard a dull sound.

I blushed for a moment, never expecting to be so frightened by this scene.

Before he could even consider whether he would lose face in front of Su Chen after today, the bronze mask was suddenly removed.

He was startled again, but remembering that the others present hadn't reacted, he could only bite the bullet and pretend nothing was wrong.

He looked at the person in front of him with considerable composure, and as his voice fell, a slightly different voice rang out.

"I thought it was a jade figure, but it turned out to be a headless jade figure. What a pity."

If this jade figure could be transported out intact, it would be worth at least tens of millions of dollars. Such exquisite craftsmanship is extremely rare. The only pity is that it is headless.

This significantly reduced the value of the jade figure.

The bronze shield in Chen Yulou's hand wasn't without shape; it's just that someone had reversed it, and the other end was a black sheep mask.

Su Chen found it rather strange after seeing it.

"Why must the person in front of us be headless? Could it be related to the legend of the black goat?"

There is no local legend about the black goat; to be precise, there is no information about it at all.

Li Shuguo also found it strange. If there had always been local legends about black sheep, that would be one thing, but there weren't.

Apart from Qingxi Ancient Town, there are no legends or records about the Black Sheep King, but the existence of the jade figure with the Black Sheep's head is a stark reminder to these outsiders.

Like these towns isolated by the mountains, King Wuyang lived a solitary life hidden deep within the mountains, unknown to anyone.

"But these things aren't that important. Let's rest here for a bit and continue tomorrow."

Does it matter if there are legends or not? No, it doesn't matter.

Su Chen has arrived. Even if the Black Sheep King is hiding deep in the mountains, he will find him.

As for the rest of the process, that's not really that important.

Everyone sat down to rest, while Blind Chen and Partridge Whistle had already carried the jade figure down. The sacrificial black sheep was of no importance at all.

This thing is the only reason I can't take it with me now; otherwise, Su Chen would have already sent it to Shanghai to be a national treasure.

Li Baoshu moved closer to the chair, finding its design somewhat unique. As he approached, he saw a female corpse with blood streaming from her eyes and ears.

Startled, they retreated repeatedly.

"Zombies!"

As his voice fell, a long knife was already embedded in front of the chair.

Blackback Old Six glanced at it and shook his head slightly.

It was clear that Li Shuguo had misjudged the situation; it wasn't a female corpse. Chen Xuan walked over and took a look, a rare look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

The chair beneath the beautiful woman's buttocks was actually a human stool made up of nine female corpses.

Seeing this, everyone sighed again.

Unfortunately, these female corpses looked too grotesque, and if they were taken out, they would probably be mistaken for some shady antique dealer, so everyone gave up on the idea.

Li Shuguo spent the day in utter fear, and that night he had a nightmare in which the man was chasing after him.

As dawn broke, the group once again embarked on their journey.

After passing through the cave, the roar of water could be heard. The raging torrents flowed through the river, twisting and turning, and the white spray was terrifying.

"This……"

Li Shuguo was somewhat taken aback by what he saw and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What should we do next?"

He paused for a moment before asking the question.

The mountain in front of us twists and turns, which looks quite daunting, and it seems like there's no clue which way to go.

But the others were clearly unfazed, and habitually looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded at him and said calmly.

"This cave was clearly carved out by man, which means we didn't go astray. However, they have hidden the rest of the cave, so we need to do some calculations."

“We have seen a lot along the way. It is clear that the people here regard the Black Sheep King as a god. Even that human stool contains nine corpses, so we should take the extreme number nine.”

Then Su Chen began to calculate, using the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams as the framework.

Then Hao gasped and led everyone across the old iron-chained wooden bridge.

As clouds and mist rose into the canyon, the surrounding scenery became somewhat blurry. Fortunately, Su Chen had memorized the general outline beforehand, and immediately led the group toward the top.

The group practically clung to the cliff face as they climbed up, with the most dangerous part being where most of their feet were tucked outside their bodies.

Li Shuguo, who had never seen anything like this before, was almost scared to death. Su Chen followed his calculations and found a tunnel of unfathomable depth on the cliff face.

The group entered one by one, and Su Chen began to take in the situation. The situation here was completely different from the mines in Qingxi; it resembled an ancient tunnel.

As for whether this place was right or not, Su Chen actually had no clue, but the traces on the ground that someone had walked on clearly told him that this was the right location.

After walking a few steps inside, a stone tablet appeared, and in front of the stone tablet was a dead body.

It looked like he had been dead for an unknown period of time; his clothes were all weathered away.

Su Chen examined the body and found no clues. He then turned his attention to the tombstone behind the mummified corpse. After moving the corpse aside, his eyes lit up.

It turned out to be a mnemonic rhyme, the legendary "Guan Shan Zhi Mi Fu" (Guan Shan's Guide to the Mountains).

What a king! He has a body but no head; his wife won't come, and the mountains won't open...

Su Chen read it several times before he finally understood.

"Is this the path we're left with on how to find the Black Sheep King... no, the ancient tomb of the Earth Immortal Village?"

He wasn't entirely sure, but the first few sentences did match their experiences, so these things were most likely true.

"This thing shouldn't have been left to us. Guanshan Zhimi Fu should have been kept by Guanshan Tai for future generations."

Partridge Whistle pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Su Chen nodded, thinking that what he said made some sense, and that once he understood, it was his.

"Who cares who it's for? Let's just consider it a signpost for us."

"I like hearing Chief Su say that, shall we continue?"

Chen Yulou was somewhat pleased and couldn't help but want to continue deeper into the area.

But Li Shuguo's words stunned everyone.

"If this 'Guanshan Zhimi Fu' is true, then why did it die here?"
