A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

Seeing that everyone said the meat was delicious, and Bai Pi was circling around Bai Jing, Bai Jing also smiled.

Then Bai Jing also prepared a piece for Bai Pi, and fed it to Bai Pi after it had cooled down a bit.

After eating the barbecue, Bai Pi was so happy that he swayed left and right.

While they were eating, Hu Bayi suddenly asked in confusion, "Why is this place called Wild Man Gully? Could it be that there really are wild men here?"

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's question, Yingzi didn't look up but continued cutting the meat, while simultaneously beginning to answer Hu Bayi's question.

"This place was originally called Pengyuegou, which is said to be the tomb of nobles during the Jin Dynasty. Later, the Mongols defeated the Jin army at Heifengkou in the north, and they threw the corpses of those soldiers here, so this place was called Dead Man's Gully. Then, I don't know when, wild men started to appear here, so it was called Wild Man's Gully."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing stood up and took a look.

To be honest, even from a distance, you can tell that the feng shui here is indeed excellent.

This crescent-shaped gully is a typical example of a returning dragon formation, with a unique and winding shape, resembling a beast emerging from the forest or a ship crossing the sea.

Although there is no sea here, the west side is a vast grassland and the north side is the Greater Khingan Mountains, which make this winding terrain resemble a boundless ocean.

This feng shui layout is suitable not only for the middle of the ditch, but also for the surrounding mountains.

Most importantly, although this feng shui doesn't quite reach the level of a dragon vein suitable for burying an emperor, it's perfectly fine to bury a prince or nobleman in the middle position.

As for burying a few generals and ministers on the surrounding mountains, that would be perfectly fine.

Therefore, although this is just a place with auspicious feng shui, it is enough to bury several people, or even dozens of people.

Just as Yingzi said, there are noble tombs here.

However, it wasn't just one, but several.

Fatty was unaware of these things, and Hu Bayi hadn't even considered this possibility yet, so there was no need to elaborate.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man asked, "Have you seen any wild men here?"

Yingzi shook her head and said, "I've never seen it. I only heard it from my dad and the others. According to the old people in the village, they came here when they were hunting before and saw wild men, but they ran away because they were scared. When they came back later, they couldn't see them anymore."

At this point, Yingzi stopped what she was doing, took the two pig hind legs off the campfire, stabbed them a few times with her knife, and found that they were thoroughly cooked. She then added some more firewood to the campfire.

Then Yingzi looked at Bai Jing and the other two and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go get some more firewood."

Chapter 127 Moon-Holding Ditch

After Yingzi finished speaking, she picked up her hunting rifle and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the fat man quickly followed and said, "Yingzi, why don't I go with you? I'll protect you then."

Upon hearing this, Yingzi sized up the fat man and said disdainfully, "Forget it, you're not even as good as our hunting dog."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi burst into laughter. Bai Pi also seemed to understand Yingzi's words and was laughing uncontrollably as well.

When Fatty heard Yingzi's words, and saw Bai Jing and Hu Bayi's smiling faces, and most importantly, seeing Bai Pi laughing so hard he could hardly breathe, he was also furious.

But there is nothing we can do.

The fat man immediately sat down, saying somewhat resentfully, "This little brat dares to laugh at her brother, Fatty. Back in the day..."

Before the fat man could finish speaking, Hu Bayi interrupted him.

"Alright, we've been together for so many years, what have you done that I don't know about? Hurry up and eat, or it'll get cold."

Then, the three of them ate the pig's hind leg while waiting for Yingzi to return.

The fat man was surprised to see that the white-skinned man, who was so small, had already eaten half a pig's hind leg.

Most importantly, despite eating so much, Bai Pi's stomach showed absolutely no reaction.

This is very strange.

Bai Jing already knew the reason for this.

Although the white-skinned creature eats quite a lot every day, most of it is actually consumed by the small white worms inside its body.

Moreover, Bai Jing also knew that these things could only keep the little white worms inside Bai Pi from starving.

This is normal. Otherwise, if they are fed too much every day, they won't be able to eat anything if something happens that requires them to fight off enemies.

According to Bai Jing's feeling, if Bai Pi were to exert all his strength, he wouldn't need any other means; simply letting the little white worms do their work would be enough to devour hundreds of adults.

This shows how terrifying the little white worm is.

This also reflects the power of white skin.

As the three of them were having dinner and waiting for Yingzi to return, the moon had unknowingly risen high in the sky.

Hu Bayi glanced at the moon, then at the valley, and let out a soft exclamation.

He immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks he was holding, walked to the side, and took the compass out of his bag.

Bai Jing knew that Hu Bayi had already figured out the feng shui layout of this place.

Sure enough, Hu Bayi found the right direction, repeatedly compared it with the compass in his hand, and then said as if he had confirmed something: "Old Bai, Fatty, do you know why this place is called..."

Bai Jing didn't speak, but the fat man replied with a puzzled look, "I don't know, why?"

Hu Bayi didn't look at the fat man, but instead looked at Bai Jing, knowing that Bai Jing must have figured it out.

Bai Jing smiled upon seeing this and stood up.

Bai Jing pointed to the moon hanging high in the sky, and then pointed to the tall mountains on both sides.

Then, Bai Jing spoke.

"Fatty, look, because when the moon rises to the highest point of the valley, looking up from where we are now, we get an illusion that makes the sides appear..."

The highest peak resembles two giant arms reaching out to cradle the bright moon, hence this place is also known as…

As he spoke, Bai Jing stretched out his two arms forward, each arm blocking the two mountain peaks on either side.

At this moment, in Bai Jing's eyes, it was as if he were holding up the moon.

Upon hearing this, the fat man looked at Bai Jing's actions with some doubt, and then followed Bai Jing's example by cupping his arms towards the moon. The next moment, just as Bai Jing had said, it happened.

Hu Bayi nodded and said, "Old Bai is indeed a professional. He's right. The feng shui here can be described as an extremely auspicious place. Burying here allows one to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, so there must be a great tomb here."

At this point, Hu Bayi shook his head and exclaimed, "Look at the terrain here: it's stable, majestic, and awe-inspiring."

At this point, Hu Bayi raised his finger and pointed forward, continuing, "Look, from here, to the west is the vast grassland, and to the north is the Greater Khingan Mountains."

To put it simply, the vast grasslands of Outer Mongolia are like a boundless ocean, and this is a great river flowing into it. Given the feng shui here, while an emperor might not be worthy of it, it's more than sufficient for a prince or general.

Upon hearing this, the fat man's face lit up with even greater joy.

What is Hu Bayi trying to express by saying all this?

It's just that there's a large tomb here, and what does a large tomb represent? It represents countless treasures.

Bai Jing didn't correct Hu Bayi's minor mistake, as it was harmless.

Just as Bai Jing and the other two were talking, a cry for help suddenly rang out, followed by a gunshot.

Bai Jing and the other two immediately changed their expressions.

"Oh no, something's happened to Yingzi."

The three exchanged a glance and then ran in the direction from which the sound came.

When the three of them were halfway to the source of the sound, they encountered Yingzi running back.

Although Bai Jing guessed that Yingzi had fired the gun, he still asked, "What happened, Yingzi? Did you fire the gun just now?"

Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Jing and the other two rushing over.

Then, still somewhat shaken, he began to explain.

"I saw a shack up ahead and thought I'd go in and take a look. Then I saw it was full of dead bodies, all black and rotten. At first I thought they were savages, so I fired a shot. I couldn't tell what kind of bodies they were."

Hearing this, Bai Jing, Hu Bayi, and Fatty exchanged glances, and then Bai Jing said, "Alright, let's go take a look together."

Bai Jing walked in front, while Hu Bayi and Fatty followed behind, comforting Yingzi as they went.

Before they knew it, the three of them had arrived at the place Yingzi had mentioned, only to find that the place was littered with corpses that had turned into skeletons.

Then Hu Bayi noticed a cloth bag on the ground, opened it, and found a notebook inside. Meanwhile, the fat man on the other side also found a Japanese military sword.

Bai Jing looked around and noticed a wooden box on the ground. He went up, opened the box, and found that it was full of tools used for tomb raiding.

Something similar to a Luoyang shovel, entrenching tool, or pickaxe.

The fat man looked around at the corpses on the ground and asked with some doubt, "I'm not saying this to be honest, but I have a feeling that these people aren't all together."

Hu Bayi nodded and said, "They are indeed not the same group. The people inside the shack are Japanese, and the ones outside are a group of tomb raiders."

Chapter 128 Entering the Tomb Passage Through the Grave Robber's Hole

Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, Bai Jing came to Hu Bayi's side and looked at the notebook.

After glancing at it twice, Bai Jing roughly understood the cause and course of events.

The notebook says that the Japanese soldiers came looking for a military fortress, but their guide died, and the rest of them wandered around in the forest for several years without finding the entrance to the fortress.

Later, a group of tomb raiders came to this place. They told the Japanese that Japan had surrendered. Upon hearing this, the Japanese became very angry and killed all the tomb raiders in a fit of rage. Then they themselves committed seppuku.

Hu Bayi also explained the content to everyone.
