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

Return to the room.

Yin Xinyue had already woken up, dressed, and was getting ready.

Su Chen sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Yin Xinyue.

A ray of sunlight shone in through the window and fell on Yin Xinyue, making her look absolutely beautiful.

"Bang bang bang..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Partridge Whistle arrived, his expression serious.

"Go out and talk."

Su Chen left the room and went to the study.

Partridge Whistle then spoke, “Chen Yulou, the leader of the Unloading Ridge, sent a telegram asking me to go with him to a Miao village in western Hunan to dig for treasures.”

A Miao village in western Hunan? The ancient tombs of Ping Mountain?

Su Chen was planning to rest for a few days before going to Ping Mountain.

It now appears that Partridge Whistle and his destination are aligned.

"Set off as soon as possible, I will go with you."

Su Chen gave the instructions.

That day, Yin Xinyue began preparing logistical supplies for the group.

Several boxes were filled with firearms, wooden-handled grenades, broadswords, daggers, and the like.

Su Chen originally didn't want to go through all this trouble, but at Yin Xinyue's insistence, he still brought the supplies.

Then, everyone set off.

This time, Su Chen brought Yin Xinyue, Hei Bei Lao Liu, Zhe Gu Shao, Lao Yang Ren, Hua Ling, and two young men from his own clan to the Miao village in western Hunan.

The train could only travel half the distance; the remaining journey required a horse-drawn carriage.

Further on, even horse-drawn carriages became difficult to use, and goods had to be transported on foot and then by horse.

And so, four days later, the group arrived at the Miao village in western Hunan.

The person approaching was slender, handsome, wearing glasses and a white hat, giving him a refined appearance.

If this were a first meeting, aside from those in the same profession who could smell the earthy odor emanating from him, no one would associate him with the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction.

He was the chief leader of Changsheng Mountain, the third-generation leader of a family of tomb raiders, and wielded immense power.

The Mountain Moving lineage has only three members, while the Ridge Unloading lineage has thousands.

At this time, Chen Yulou was not yet blind, nor did he have the nickname "Blind Chen." He was dressed as a handsome and elegant gentleman, unparalleled in the world.

He took a few steps forward to greet the crowd.

"To pluck the stars, one must invite the God of Literature; to move mountains, one must not move Everlasting Mountain; what is burned is Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Incense; what is drunk is the water from the Five Lakes and Four Seas."

Upon meeting, Partridge Whistle immediately started exchanging slang terms.

"A tall building stands on Changsheng Mountain, attracting heroes from all directions."

"The dragon and phoenix, symbolizing good fortune, forge lasting friendships; the five lakes and four seas flow endlessly."

Chen Yulou also introduced himself.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for coming into contact with the story character Chen Yulou. Family progress +16%."

The system's voice sounded after contact was made with the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction.

"I wonder who this is?"

Chen Yulou looked at Su Chen.

"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 introduced himself, "Su family, Su Chen."

"So you're a tomb raider?"

Upon hearing this name, Chen Yulou was shocked.

Unexpectedly, even the tomb raiders have arrived.

The four major schools of martial arts are the Tomb Raiders, the Grave Robbers, the Mountain Movers, and the Ridge Unloaders. They are independent of each other and rarely have any interaction.

It's rare for us to get together today.

Chen Yulou looked at Su Chen with more respect.

"I'm not very talented; I'm only half a tomb raider," Su Chen said politely.

"Mr. Su is too modest."

Chen Yulou praised.

From then on, the three forces came together.

"Wow, this is quite a lively day! Mr. Chen, so many friends have come!"

A warlord with a full beard walked up to the crowd.

This must be Luo Laowai.

He strode casually into the middle of the crowd. "Mr. Chen, when do we start our operation?"

"No rush, let's rest for the night and set off tomorrow."

Chen Yulou gave the instructions.

Luo Laowai was able to listen to some of what Chen Yulou said.

He was able to become Commander Luo precisely because of Chen Yulou's support.

Some time ago, disaster victims flooded into Hunan, and Chen Yulou has been providing porridge and relief. Although the head of the Xieling tribe is wealthy, he can't keep up with the increasing number of disaster victims.

Luo Laowai wanted to expand his power but lacked money, and Chen Yulou also needed money to help the disaster victims.

So the two of them, without prior agreement, came to a Miao village in western Hunan to explore the Ping Mountain Tomb.

A great general from the Yuan Dynasty is buried in Ping Mountain.

It was fraught with danger, and even Chen Yulou dared not enter it alone.

……

That night, the group rested in a mortuary near the Miao village.

The environment was simple, but Yin Xinyue didn't mind and stayed by Su Chen's side the whole time.

Chen Yulou instructed his men to inspect the mortuary.

Su Chen, Partridge Whistle, and the others went to rest in a room filled with more than a dozen coffins.

The room was already dilapidated and covered with cobwebs.

"Old Dao, don't sleep too soundly tonight."

Su Chen reminded him.

This mortuary is fraught with danger; it's best to be cautious.

On the other side, Commander Luo carried an oil lamp and entered a house.

Under the pitch-black night, a heavy drizzle fell accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The environment was dimly lit. Master Luo carefully inspected the interior of the room, intending to use it as his place of rest.

On a table not far away, there seemed to be several talismans.

Commander Luo stepped forward, intending to examine the talisman more closely. Just as he was distracted, a strange object wrapped in cloth came crashing down on him.

The burlap lining came off, and only then did Commander Luo realize that there was actually a corpse inside.

The corpse's face was terrifying, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks. In an instant, Commander Luo trembled all over, scared half to death.

"Help!"

The piercing screams echoed throughout the entire mortuary.

"You must protect my wife."

Su Chen instructed Black-backed Old Six to stay where he was and not move.

He then rushed towards the source of the sound.

Partridge Whistle followed behind Su Chen and rushed over at the same time.

Before long, Chen Yulou arrived.

Su Chen shoved the corpse aside, and only then did the half-dead General Luo come to his senses.

The body pressing down on Commander Luo was a female corpse, with a memorial tablet placed next to it.

Chen Yulou picked up the memorial tablet, glanced at it, and then said, "This female corpse is the caretaker of the mortuary. There's no need to panic."

The person who guarded the body had just died, and according to local custom, he should be left to stand upright against the door as a zombie before being placed in the coffin.

Not a big deal.

While the group was chatting, a stray cat suddenly appeared on the roof beam.

The wild cat suddenly jumped onto the woman's body and began to gnaw on her ears.

There are too many strange things happening in this desolate wilderness.

The Unloading Ridge faction values ​​the dead above all else. Chen Yulou, unable to bear seeing wild cats gnawing on corpses in front of him, immediately chased after them.

"Always in charge!"

Hong Guniang, the second-in-command of the Unloading Ridge faction, was a little anxious and quickly chased after them.

At this moment, Chen Yulou was led by the wild cat into the dark jungle. The rain was about to stop, and the air was filled with the smell of earth.

Water droplets slid off the bushes along the way and onto the ground, some of which soaked Chen Yulou's clothes.
