The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

For tomb raiders, if you ask which tombs are the hardest to break into, it would definitely be the imperial tombs and the tombs of feng shui masters.

The scale of the imperial tomb far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine, and the anti-theft measures inside are even more astonishing.

When the Red Eyebrow Army excavated Maoling, less than a thousand out of ten thousand entered and returned. The probability of death was nine out of ten, which shows how terrifying the royal tomb was.

Although King Xian was far inferior to Emperor Wu of Han, he was still the ruler of a country, so the tomb he built for himself would certainly not be bad.

But even more difficult than the tombs of kings are the tombs of feng shui masters.

Those feng shui masters are experts in finding and exploring tombs. If they intend to live in seclusion after death, they will hide their tombs in places that ordinary tomb raiders would never think of.

Even if a tomb raider is lucky enough to find a feng shui master's tomb, they will definitely not be able to withstand the traps set by the feng shui master.

After all... your peers know each other best, and they're usually much better than you.

For a moment, Partridge Whistle felt at a loss, unable to make a decision, so he asked Fang Yun:

"In your opinion, Brother Fang, which tomb should we start with?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun grinned and said with a smile, "Naturally, it's the one that's closer."

"We are now in Mongolia, thousands of miles away from the tomb of the King of Xian in Yunnan."

"And Li Chunfeng's tomb is located in Shaanxi, which is a border province with Inner Mongolia."

"Brother Fang, do you know the whereabouts of Li Chunfeng's tomb?" Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Partridge Whistle's smile grew even wider.

"Li Chunfeng has unlocked the secret of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. If we can find the method to decipher it, we can have an extra layer of insurance. After all, the three Dragon Bone Heavenly Books left by King Wen of Zhou may not all have the same solution."

"That's what I think too."

Fang Yun nodded in response, feeling a mix of emotions.

A figure like Li Chunfeng, his tomb is not something you can just find whenever you want, and even if you could find it, you might not be able to break into it.

The 'tomb of Li Chunfeng' that he mentioned was actually originally prepared for a princess of the Tang Dynasty.

The fact that the Western Zhou tomb and the Tang princess's tomb are located together in Longling is truly difficult to explain and cannot be explained in a few words.

Therefore, I can only put it simply, as long as Partridge Whistle, the old foreigner, and Hua can understand.

If I were to really explain it, it would take at least a thousand or eight hundred words, otherwise those readers who were more handsome than Ah Zu wouldn't want to read any more of this fluff.

After a brief discussion, the four of them finalized their itinerary.

First, go to Shaanxi, which borders Mongolia, to find Li Chunfeng's tomb and obtain the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book from it. Then, go to the tomb of the Prince of Xian to obtain the final Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

Partridge Whistle was very satisfied with Fang Yun's arrangement, believing that this round would yield the three Dragon Bone Heavenly Books and reveal the true whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl.

Fang Yun didn't tell Partridge Whistle that this round trip would fulfill his dream.

It was a surprise for him.

After a short rest, the four prepared to return, planning to travel directly to Shaanxi after two days of rest to search for Li Chunfeng's tomb.

................

An hour later, beside the hard mound,

Fang Yun held a kettle in one hand and a hard clod of earth in the other. After kneading the clod of earth into mud, he smeared it on the cracked hard earth wall.

"Fang Yun, do you not want others to find out about this place?"

Hua looked curious and squatted down next to Fang Yun to ask.

On the way back, Fang Yun found the machine of the guillotine spike town and retrieved the guillotines.

After crossing the cliff, they cut the overhead rope and covered the exit to make it look completely undetectable.

It's easy to see that Fang Yun doesn't want this place to be found. Even if it is, there will be abysses and traps waiting for the intruder.

Upon hearing Hua's words, Fang Yun straightened his expression and said with a 'serious' face:

"Yes."

"Hua, you must remember, the ancient artifacts hidden inside are all precious cultural relics from the Central Plains."

"There are many foreigners here, so we must not be careless. The treasures of the Central Plains must never fall into the hands of foreigners."

"This is ours!"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Hua smiled and nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with even more admiration for Fang Yun.

"Brother Fang is truly wise and righteous; I admire him!"

Partridge Whistle also looked serious and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fang Yun.

"No, no, it's all what I should do."

Fang Yun grinned, his hands moving with increasing care and attention.

This place is mine!

We must be absolutely certain of success!

(I'm having serious writer's block here... From now on, if there are any differences between the original novel and the TV series, I'll just make them up myself to avoid feeling awkward no matter which one I write.)

Chapter Forty-Eight: Wouldn't it be wonderful to soak dragon bones in wine?

The next day at noon, in a private room at the restaurant.

Yesterday, they traveled for most of the day, and then spent a lot of time going down into and out of the tomb. By the time Fang Yun finished dealing with the traces at the entrance, the sun had already set.

So the four of them found the ruins of Blackwater City, rested there for a night, and had only recently returned to Hohhot Town.

"Brother Fang, when shall we depart for Shaanxi?"

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Partridge Whistle asked Fang Yun with an expectant look on his face.

According to Fang Yun, one of the three pieces of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book records the whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl.

In his understanding, if he was lucky, the whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl would be recorded on the dragon bone book in Li Chunfeng's tomb.

If that's the case, once he gets the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, he won't need to go to the Tomb of the King of Xian anymore; he can just follow the location on the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book to find the Muchen Pearl.

If you're lucky, you might find two graves; if you're unlucky, you might only find three.

Thinking of this, his heart had already flown to Shaanxi.

"There's no time to lose, how about we set off first thing tomorrow morning?"

Fang Yun also wanted to get into Shaanxi as soon as possible and obtain the second piece of the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.

Come to think of it, he was so busy telling stories to Partridge Whistle at the Great Buddha Temple that he didn't even notice the dragon bone dagger when the mission was completed.

"it is good!"

Fang Yun's words struck a chord with Partridge Whistle, who nodded and stood up.

"In that case, I'll go find a car now."

After receiving some money, Partridge Whistle hurriedly led the old foreigner out of the restaurant.

"Fang Yun, is there anything we need to prepare?" Seeing that her two senior brothers were busy, Hua asked, seemingly wanting to help in some way.

"Prepare?..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun smiled and pulled Hua into his arms, kissing her on the pretty face.

"Get ready to take a nap with me so I can get some rest!"

"Oh..."

Feeling the warmth on her face, Hua blushed slightly and nodded obediently.

"You silly girl...you're kind of cute."

Seeing this, Fang Yun chuckled and pulled Hua out of the room.

..............

"Dragon Bone Dagger... Could it really be made of dragon bone?"

Fang Yun lay on the bed, holding the sleeping Hua in his arms, staring blankly at the dragon bone dagger in his hand.

This dragon bone dagger is a little over twenty centimeters long. The back of the blade is covered with a row of vicious barbs, and there are two blood grooves on the blade. If you stab a person once and then pull it out, you can kill them instantly.

Definitely a deadly weapon.

However, the material is somewhat special, with a dark brownish-yellow color all over, like dusty, withered bones, and it really does look like bone.

When struck with other iron objects, it produced no clanging sound, yet the blade was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through iron with a gentle touch.

Therefore, Fang Yun fell into deep thought.

The quality of the items provided by the system is unquestionable.

If this dragon bone dagger is really made of dragon bone, then it certainly can't be used for rough work like chopping rice dumplings.

Dragon bones plus the inner core of a great demon, wouldn't it be wonderful to soak them in wine?

"Speaking of which... the Muchen Pearl is also said to be the Eye of the Serpent God... If so..."

Knock...knock...

Just as Fang Yun was having a brainstorming session, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Yun also suddenly came to her senses, blinked to wake up, and then got out of bed.
