I will be stronger after the remake

At this moment, Gu Linglong hummed: "The yellow birds chirp and sing, perching on the thorn. Who followed Duke Mu? Ziche Yanxi. This Yanxi, the best of a hundred men. Approaching his grave, we tremble with fear. Oh, cruel Heaven, you have destroyed my good man! If he could be redeemed, I would give a hundred lives..."

Although it was an a cappella performance, the singing was melodious and ethereal, echoing in the somber tomb with an ancient charm and deep sorrow.

At the same time, the souls of the Qin soldiers who had been burned to ashes reappeared. Their previously empty eyes seemed to have regained a glimmer of clarity, but they did not make any movements. Instead, with peaceful expressions, they turned into specks of light and drifted away into oblivion.

Their faces no longer showed pain and resentment, as if they had found solace and relief through ancient songs.

Once all the strange phenomena ended, Gu Linglong returned to her original location, a satisfied expression on her face.

When Tang Ping saw this scene, he remembered what the other party had said when they came to his door. People in the pre-Qin period believed that the Vermilion Bird could guide the souls of the dead to heaven. Therefore, cleaning up the souls of the Qin people could play the role of interpreting the spirit of the Vermilion Bird.

This was Gu Linglong's initiative in taking on the task of exploring Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum; as for whether there were any treasures inside, she was not interested.

Yu Shujiang stepped forward and said, "Sister Linglong, what song did you just sing? Although I didn't understand a single word, it was really beautiful, as if it could penetrate my soul."

Gu Linglong was well-prepared and said confidently, "I'm singing 'The Yellow Bird' from the Book of Songs, Qin Feng. This poem was written in the Qin state during the Spring and Autumn Period. After Duke Mu of Qin died, many good ministers, such as Ziche Yanxi, Ziche Zhongxing, and Ziche Zhenhu, were buried alive with him. The poem begins with the image of the yellow bird and depicts the fear and sorrow in people's hearts when good ministers were dragged away to be buried alive. 'Oh, heaven, you have destroyed my good men' is a questioning of heaven why it took their lives. In short, this is a song that criticizes the practice of burying people alive with the dead and commemorates the dead."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ze clicked his tongue in praise: "This poem is a good choice! The famous Terracotta Army was Qin Shi Huang's funerary object, used to replace living people in the burial, which is regarded as a huge step forward in civilization. Choosing the poem 'Yellow Bird' may seem to be criticizing Duke Mu of Qin, but it is actually praising Qin Shi Huang. It will undoubtedly have a double effect on the souls in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum."

They and their group did nothing but provide emotional value.

Tang Ping received a look from the director and understood. Just as she was about to join in the praise, her gaze swept over the ruins of the buildings destroyed by the aftermath of the battle and she suddenly noticed three character entries.

[Character: Zhou Canglan]

[Lingge: Gonggong, the Water God]

[Introduction: The head of the New Territories Alliance in China, who has no interest in the New Territories Alliance's ideology, but had to join in order to portray Ling Ge, and is currently trying to win over the envoys of the headquarters by using his lover.]

[Character: Liu Lingling]

[Lingge: Snake Demon]

[Introduction: Zhou Canglan's lover, who has no interest in the New Territories Alliance's ideology, joined the alliance with Zhou Canglan based on the idea of ​​"marrying a chicken, following the chicken; marrying a dog, following the dog," but they are currently having conflicts because Zhou Canglan is reluctant to marry her.]

[Character: He Fengsheng]

[Lingge: Fierce Bird - Guhuoniao]

[Introduction: A spy sent by the New Territories Alliance to monitor Zhou Canglan. He took advantage of the conflict between Liu Lingling and Zhou Canglan to infiltrate the group. He is currently hesitating about whether to betray the Alliance for love and elope with Liu Lingling.]

Chapter 123 Anticipating the Enemy's Moves

Tang Ping almost lost her composure when she saw the description in the entry.

Your New Territories Alliance has a problem with its selection mechanism. These three people may not be considered traitors, but they certainly have no loyalty to the organization. Don't you conduct any vetting when selecting cadres?

It's one thing for low-ranking soldiers to lack loyalty, but they're all in charge of a region, yet they still have no sense of belonging.

Moreover, the emotional scenes between the three are quite intriguing.

This guy named He Fengsheng possesses the unique third-tier spirit title "Fierce Bird - Guhuoniao". Among them, "Fierce Bird" is a superior branch of the second-tier spirit title "Bird Demon". The fame of "Guhuoniao" is neither big nor small, belonging to the level that outsiders would definitely not know, but insiders have all heard of it.

He was sent by the General Association to monitor Zhou Canglan, but he turned out to be a love-struck fool. He fell for the lover of the person he was monitoring and even took advantage of the situation to seduce him. He was willing to betray the alliance for love and even had the idea of ​​eloping.

Zhou Canglan possesses the unique spiritual title "Ancient God Gonggong". "Ancient God" is the third branch of the divine lineage spiritual title. "Gonggong" is undoubtedly a mythological character with a first-class reputation and has his own storyline "Gonggong Angrily Strikes Buzhou Mountain", after which the world collapses, leading to the story of Nuwa patching up the sky.

The myths of Gonggong striking the mountain, Nuwa patching up the sky, Houyi shooting down the sun, and Chang'e flying to the moon are collectively known as the four great myths of ancient China.

Judging from the introduction alone, this person seems to be a ruthless and powerful figure, or at least someone who doesn't care about being cuckolded. He discovered He Fengsheng's identity as a supervisor and realized that the other party was trying to poach him. So he used a scheme to lure He Fengsheng into betraying the club. He probably also has incriminating evidence that the two of them were having an affair.

As for Liu Lingling, she's a bit hard to evaluate. Her "snake demon" spirit is nothing to brag about. She followed Zhou Canglan into the New Realm Alliance, seemingly a traditional and simple woman, yet she cheated on him. Unfortunately, the introduction didn't mention whether she seduced He Fengsheng on Zhou Canglan's orders or if it was her own intention.

Based on the information fed back by the Three-Eyed Spirit, Tang Ping had a little gossip in his mind. Then, observing Gu Linglong's expression, he was quite confident that she really hadn't realized she was being followed. He couldn't help but sigh again that the core of combat among psychics was indeed a contest of intelligence.

The New Territories Alliance members were extremely skilled at concealment. Even Gu Linglong, the top expert in the country, didn't notice them, let alone the members of the Security Section. In any case, Tang Ping hadn't sensed their presence or heard any unusual noises before this, and even Yuan Ji's martial arts intuition hadn't given any warning of danger—probably because the other party hadn't taken any action yet.

However, this clever tactic was easily seen through by "Three-Eyed Spirit Radiance," and his performance was no better than the five ordinary members of the Guiling Sect who had previously attempted to assassinate Tang Ping and frame him.

Clearly, the other party was unaware that Tang Ping possessed some kind of observational psionic ability and had not taken any precautions against it.

Tang Ping originally wanted to tell Gu Linglong about this directly. Even if the three members of the New Realm Alliance possessed eavesdropping-type spiritual energy, it wouldn't matter. Intelligence warfare is one thing, but direct combat is another. There is a huge power gap between fourth-level and third-level cultivators.

But after thinking about it, he felt that Gonggong should still be given enough respect. Even if we don't talk about the outcome, it would be a pity if we failed to keep the person and let the other party escape.

Then Tang Ping said, "Have you noticed that the structure and layout of this Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum subtly resembles the Heluo Formation?"

Yu Shujiang opened her eyes wide and asked, "Brother, have you studied formations?"

Ma Yiming looked around at the ruins and exclaimed in amazement, "You can still see through this? Did you create a three-dimensional structure in your mind?"

Gu Linglong looked puzzled and cautious, as if she was really thinking about where the Heluo Formation was located.

"I've only learned a little bit," Tang Ping casually boasted, taking out paper and pen and saying, "It's difficult to describe in words, so I'll draw it for you."

He pretended to draw, but actually wrote a line on the paper and handed it to Gu Linglong first.

Gu Linglong glanced at it, her expression unchanged, and nodded in praise: "As expected of someone who can play the lead role of an underground party member, I admire your discerning eye."

"No, it's just that we paid more attention to some details, since we don't have much to do on this trip."

"Details determine success or failure."

Gu Linglong sighed and handed the paper to Hu Ze.

Hu Ze glanced at them, remaining expressionless, and asked the others, "Does anyone here understand formations?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then don't bother looking at it. You won't understand it anyway. Just stay alert and keep up with the group."

After saying that, he folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket.

Hu Ze trusted Tang Ping's judgment, after all, Tang Ping had proven his special observational abilities on multiple occasions. However, he was worried that Ma Feiyan and Yu Shujiang were too young and inexperienced to control their expressions after seeing the contents of the paper, which might lead to the enemy hiding in the shadows discovering something amiss.

No one thought much of it, since Director Hu's words made sense.

At this moment, Gu Linglong said, "According to the expert's analysis, after passing the battlefield, the next step is the mausoleum offering hall. The offering hall is divided into two parts: the front hall and the main hall. If there are any treasures, they will be offered as sacrifices in the main hall. There will be no more traps or mechanisms on the way forward, so you can proceed with peace of mind. However, you should be careful after entering the main hall, as there may be monsters responsible for protecting the treasures."

After saying that, she continued to lead the way.

Since the fourth-level psionicists had said so, Ma Feiyan and the others relaxed their guard and had the leisure to observe the surrounding scenery. They had been so worried before that they hadn't paid much attention.

After passing through the training ground, we arrived at a spacious front hall. The space inside was extremely large, and the walls were covered with exquisite murals. The murals depicted a variety of scenes, including grand scenes of Qin Shi Huang leading thousands of troops into battle, with soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons, exuding a powerful aura. There were also scenes of court music and dance, with dancers in graceful postures and flowing sleeves, as if one could hear the melodious music echoing in their ears.

In the four corners of the hall, there are huge bronze tripods, their bodies engraved with intricate taotie patterns, solemn and majestic, seemingly guarding this mysterious space.

As if to prove Gu Linglong's words, there were no traps or guardian spirits in the front hall, and everyone passed through easily.

After passing through the front hall, there is a passageway that is quite dark. At intervals on both sides of the wall, there is a luminous pearl that emits a faint light, and the dim light barely illuminates the way forward.

Ma Yiming volunteered, saying, "I can see clearly even without light, so let me go first."

Those with psychic powers generally possess the ability to observe in the dark; this is a basic attribute inherent to their spiritual nature and does not need to be manifested as psychic power.

"Need not."

Gu Linglong snapped her fingers, and countless fire butterflies flew out, completely illuminating the entire passageway. Moreover, these fire butterflies did not emit heat outwards, as if they were all contained within their bodies, and even touching them would not cause a burning sensation.

Others assumed she was using it for lighting, but Tang Ping keenly noticed that many fire butterflies were penetrating through the cracks in the wall, guessing that Gu Linglong wanted to use this to figure out the building's structure.

Stepping out of the passageway, you arrive at the main hall. The main hall's doors are tightly closed, and huge gemstones are inlaid on the doors, radiating multicolored light.

Yuan Ji pushed open the door, and a strong smell of dust mixed with an ancient aura rushed towards him. He saw that the hall was spacious and tall, with a domed ceiling supported by huge stone pillars.

In the center of the main hall is an altar, around which are placed various funerary objects, including exquisite bronzes, magnificent gold and silver artifacts, and lifelike terracotta figurines, each of which is priceless. The surrounding walls are covered with dense inscriptions, recording Qin Shi Huang's life, great achievements, and expectations for the afterlife.

"They have no spiritual energy and are not magical treasures; they are just ordinary works of art."

The crowd stepped forward to pick up the burial goods, and after examining them carefully, they all sighed in disappointment.

These things might fetch a high price as antiques in the modern world, but most people aren't tomb raiders and don't value money that much.

At this moment, Gu Linglong slowed her pace without making a sound, pretending to admire the words on the wall while secretly receiving the information transmitted by the fire butterfly.

Suddenly, she reached out and touched a black bird carved from obsidian, gently plucking its magnificent tail feathers—this was the mechanism to trigger the trap.

"Run! She's found us!"

Almost at the same moment, a man's warning came from the passageway behind them, and the three figures stopped concealing their tracks and rushed forward.

In an instant, a muffled rumble came from the top of the passageway, and huge stones fell like raindrops, causing the entire passageway to collapse.

Just before the entrance to the passageway was blocked by stones, the three members of the New Territories Alliance managed to pass through and enter the main hall. However, before they could even catch their breath, the blazing Vermilion Bird Divine Flame rushed towards them.

Zhou Canglan shouted, and a phantom image of a spirit appeared behind him. He pushed his hands forward, and the azure water flowed into a shield.

In an instant, water and fire clashed, bursting forth with a large amount of high-temperature water vapor.

Zhou Canglan had no time to dodge and his hands were scalded by the steam. He endured the pain and took a step back.

In just this one exchange, the members of the Public Security Bureau realized that they had encountered a formidable enemy and became alert and vigilant. After all, it was the first time they had seen Gu Linglong's invincible flames blocked.

Zhou Canglan refused to back down, placing his hands behind his back and channeling his spiritual energy to summon ice water for healing. He looked at Gu Linglong with a serious expression and asked, "When did you discover us?"

He originally planned to launch a sneak attack if he had the chance, and if not, to grab the loot and run away. He never expected that he would become the one being attacked instead.

If He Fengsheng hadn't possessed the ability to foresee danger and issue a warning in advance, the three of them would probably have been buried alive.

Even if he could use his spiritual energy to save his life and block the falling rocks, if Gu Linglong took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, he would basically be doomed.

Gu Linglong did not answer, but issued the order expressionlessly: "Surrender and you will be spared."

Zhou Canglan snorted and replied forcefully, "Your Vermilion Bird Fire is strong, but it's not invincible. My spiritual attribute is superior. If we really fight, the outcome is still unknown. If you don't want to end up with both of us severely injured, you might as well accept my suggestion..."

The negotiations came to an abrupt halt because Gu Linglong, too lazy to listen, decisively took action.

Flames erupted around her, and a gigantic phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared behind her, flapping its wings and letting out a long cry that resounded throughout the entire hall, like a blazing sun bursting forth, instantly raising the temperature and turning the originally cold tomb chamber into an unbearably hot one.

Zhou Canglan hurriedly summoned a torrent of water, which lunged forward in the shape of a water dragon, baring its fangs and claws.

The Vermilion Bird's flames and the Water Dragon's water flow collided violently in the air, producing a deafening sound and steaming up a large amount of water vapor. The entire hall was instantly shrouded in a white mist, making visibility extremely blurry.

At the same time, Tang Ping reached out and grabbed Yuan Ji, activating his spiritual energy "borrowing power from the tiger" to draw strength from him. Then, he manipulated the water spirit orb into a large sword and slashed at the empty space on the left.

With a loud crash, a figure was knocked back.

"Can you see me?"

He Fengsheng was both shocked and frightened. According to the investigation, the other party was just a fox demon. How could it have discovered his existence? Fox demons clearly do not have such abilities.

Tang Ping did not respond, but quietly activated "Three-Eyed Spirit Radiance" to obtain information about the other party's spiritual status.

[Character: He Fengsheng]

[Lingge: Fierce Bird - Guhuoniao]

[Psionic Abilities: Blood Feather Wings, Astounding Success, Soaring High and Far, Foreseeing Evil Consequences, Cloak of Invisibility, Controlling Infant Spirits]

【Blood Feather Wings: Consumes one's own blood to transform into a pair of wings, gaining the ability to fly and possessing the Blood Escape effect】

[A stunning cry: Emits a cry with physical impact, spreading outwards from the user. Once caught in the sound, the energy cycle within the organism is instantly disrupted, muscles spasm uncontrollably, and bodily coordination is severely impaired.]

[Soar High and Far: The sky is your playground, where you can ignore the constraints of physical laws and fly regardless of air density]

[Foreseeing bad consequences: Being able to sense the danger that is about to befall oneself]

【Cloak of Concealment: Shedding the garment transforms you into a bird, concealing it transforms you into a human. This ability summons a cloak of concealment. Anyone who touches the cloak will become invisible, their presence hidden, and they will no longer make a sound when moving.】

[Manipulating Infant Spirits: This ability allows one to command ghost children who died tragically and to use them for their own purposes. These ghost children can grow by absorbing ghostly energy, can conceal their form, and absorb the life force and spiritual energy of living beings.]

Tang Ping quickly analyzed the intelligence and concluded that the opponent was very strong, but their side had a greater chance of winning.

Limited by the terrain, the opponent cannot use their flight ability, and their strongest stealth ability is countered by the Three-Eyed Spirit. The only things to guard against are "A Stunning Strike" and "Manipulating Infant Spirits".

He turned to the security team and instructed them: "Ma Yiming, come and help me guard against ghost attacks. The rest of you, retreat to the rear and act as needed."

As she spoke, she secretly gave Yuan Ji a wink.

If He Fengsheng cannot be seen, no matter how many people there are, they will only be a hindrance. Only Yuan Ji can pinpoint the enemy's location by intuition. However, this trump card should not be revealed too early. It will only have the greatest effect when it is played at the right time.

Upon hearing this, He Fengsheng's fear intensified, and he hurriedly recalled the ghost child he had secretly released.

Based on prior intelligence, he knew that Ma Yiming's spirit was a "ghost messenger," a natural enemy of ghost children. Releasing a ghost child would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter, and the child would be eliminated in an instant.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Chapter 124 Giving You a Chance to Be a Genius

Tang Ping wouldn't give He Fengsheng time to think. She first cast a soundproof spell on her ears, then manipulated the Water Spirit Orb to transform into a three-meter-long sword, slashing towards the area below the entry.

The Three-Eyed Spirit cannot see through the opponent's invisibility; it can only guess roughly based on the instructions in the entry, but that is enough. Humans are not like cats or dogs; with such a large size, it might be a little difficult to accurately hit a vital point, but it is easy to just aim to strike.

Tang Ping thought this way, but after slashing dozens of times, he couldn't even touch the hem of He Fengsheng's clothes. If he couldn't see the other party's entry moving at high speed, he would probably have doubted whether the other party was even there. After all, the "Hidden Feather Robe" can not only conceal the figure, but also the voice.
