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

As a novice who was going into a tomb for the first time, he managed to control everyone for a few seconds with just one sentence.

Chen Yulou remained silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"Before the Frightening Platform, the Yin River stretches across the sky; the Immortal Bridge is nowhere to be seen with the naked eye; one must sacrifice oneself by falling off the cliff to ascend to heaven in one step."

"These few lines of incantation clearly correspond to the trouble that follows. The Lower Soul Platform and the Underworld River obviously represent the trouble we will encounter. If this trouble is real, then it is understandable that this guy died."

However, his words did not convince Li Shuguo, who immediately retorted.

"After this, there's another 800 kowtows to be granted immortality. Are you going to kowtow after hearing this?"

"..."

Chen Yulou was speechless for a moment. He hadn't expected that a young man would leave him speechless.

He's a newcomer, after all; he can't just take advantage of his seniority to bully people, can he?

However, his embarrassed appearance caused the other onlookers to burst into malicious laughter.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou shrugged and said.

"So, what do you think, should we still go or not?"

"Judging from the inscription on this stone tablet, this Immortal Village seems to exist to help people achieve immortality, but we can't rule out the possibility that it's a trap. We still have to go in and take a look."

Hearing that they had some disagreements on these matters, Su Chen took the initiative to speak up.

He didn't say that Li Shuguo's caution was wrong, nor did he say that Chen Yulou's indifference was wrong.

Instead, he pointed inside and said.

"Don't forget, gentlemen, a group of people left before us."

At this point, he glanced at the people present.

Upon hearing that someone had gotten ahead of them, the faces of the people present turned rather grim. Clearly, these people would rather take matters into their own hands than have someone blocking their way, and they immediately adopted a posture as if they wanted to force their way in.

It must be said that Su Chen still holds some prestige in this regard.

He led the group deeper into the area, glancing at Li Shuguo beside him, and spoke calmly.

“I know you were a little scared coming down with us for the first time, but we’ve come this far. Look at the path we’ve walked so far. Have we given ourselves a chance to regret it?”

"Chief Su, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that there might be a trap inside."

Li Shuguo scratched his head and explained.

He didn't really think that having a few people come over was dangerous; he just felt that since there were people who had died here, it meant that there must be a lot of danger behind them.

Hearing this, Su Chen smiled, patted his shoulder, and said.

“When have we ever gone down there without danger? If we wouldn’t go because we were afraid of dying, why would we have chosen to come here in the first place?”

"I understand."

Li Shuguo paused for a moment, then nodded and said.

Soon, the group reached the end of the tunnel, where their view suddenly opened up.

A T-shaped canyon appeared before everyone's eyes, with towering mountains standing opposite, seemingly cut in two by some unknown means, looking extremely precipitous.

There is a platform on the other side, but the twenty-meter distance has become an insurmountable barrier.

The canyon floor was covered with a dense array of black sheep sculptures, indicating that the group had arrived at the right place. Moreover, judging from the scale of the sculptures, the ancient tombs of Dixian Village were quite extensive.

However, a question now lies before everyone: what should be done next?

No one expected that this would become such a big problem.

Before the Frightening Platform, the Underworld River stretches across the sky; the Immortal Bridge is nowhere to be seen, difficult to spot with the naked eye; one falls off the cliff and sacrifices oneself, ascending to heaven in a single step.

This clearly describes the current situation.

After witnessing this scene, everyone understood why the man had died of old age at the door.

This 20-meter-wide area would be impossible for most people to cross without climbing guns or similar equipment.

But Chen Xuan was no ordinary person. He looked at the situation under his feet and then looked at Li Shuguo and said.

“Show us your treasures.”

Li Shuguo nodded, picked up his trekking pole, twisted it with both hands, and two thick rock bolts shot out from each side, connected to a black rope, and nailed to the cliffs at both ends.

Chen Xuan looked at the person in front of him and spoke calmly.

"Who comes first?"

"I come."

"Old Ma, the corpse carrier, spoke up, and he immediately hooked on a rope and climbed over."

Clearly, Grandma Xu's treasured possession was quite useful; it could easily support the weight of a person.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but wonder if Granny Xu knew what they were going to encounter from the very beginning.

However, despite this thought, what everyone has experienced now proves that they made the right decision to bring this thing.

Without these trekking poles, they would have had to figure out how to get across.

Duoling and Heibei Laoliu climbed over one after another, followed by Li Shuguo.

This was the first time he, a craftsman, had experienced something like this, and he felt a little weak in the knees.

Chen Xuan took out a rope, made it into a knot, and hung it on his body, holding the other end in his own hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'll grab you if you really fall."

"it is good."

Seeing that Su Chen had said that, Li Shuguo knew he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he nodded his head, made up his mind, and climbed out.

Watching others be afraid is one thing, but watching yourself do it is quite another.

Below him was a bottomless abyss. Despite being warned beforehand, he still couldn't help but glance at it.

One glance was enough to terrify him so much that his soul trembled and his liver ached, and he felt weak in his limbs, refusing to take another step no matter what.

Partridge Whistle and the others had a headache watching this.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen spoke up loudly.

"Li Shuguo, stop standing there! Close your eyes and crawl forward, even just one step!"

He didn't say anything, he just told Li Shuguo that it was only a 20-meter stretch of road, and he had already walked half of it, so he could definitely get the other half over.

Li Shuguo listened attentively and immediately closed his eyes and crawled forward.

Just then, perhaps because Su Chen's voice was heard, a sound of flapping wings rang out.

A large number of golden swifts, known for their ability to fly through the clouds, flew out of the swallows' nests on the cliff. Due to their sheer number and density, the swifts collided with him, making him feel uncomfortable.

Li Shuguo clung tightly to the rope that held his life and fortune, not daring to loosen his grip even slightly.

Su Chen and the others who were watching this scene witnessed something astonishing.

It turns out that the unique T-shaped interface between the platforms causes several cyclones to form when the airflow passes through them, and the swifts are captured by the airflow as they pass through.

They quickly gathered into a small cluster in the air, and then more and more swifts, seeing this, rushed over according to their habits and were caught by the air currents.

In front of everyone, more and more swifts formed a legendary magpie bridge.
