Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

"Alright," Li Xiaohu said with a helpless smile, "It's not some rat spirit or second auntie rat at all."

"It's nothing more than a standing corpse."

After saying this, he took a lamp from the side and stepped forward to illuminate the situation inside the small house.

The group took a look.

It was indeed a skinny zombie with a white cloth on its head and yellow talismans pasted on it.

Chen Yulou also teased Hong Guniang, saying, "You're always thinking about that rat, Second Aunt."

"Now you've got what you wanted."

"Hmph!" Red Girl rolled her eyes at Chen Yulou and mustered her courage to go inside.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I stepped on a spirit tablet.

I picked it up and took a look.

"The position of the second aunt of the rat, Wu Shi."

Yin Xinyue peeked out from somewhere and said in surprise, "It really is Aunt Rat."

Chen Yulou beckoned Luo Laowai to get up and come in, explaining, "Presumably, this Second Aunt Rat is the guardian of this burial hall."

"He must have just passed away not long ago."

According to local custom, the body must stand stiffly against a door panel before it can be placed in the coffin for burial.

"Pah!" Old Luo spat in frustration and cursed, "I just pushed the door open and saw a corpse."

"What the hell is this bad luck!"

He raised his hand and ordered, "Men! Take this out and burn it!"

To everyone's surprise, Chen Yulou reached out to stop him, saying, "Why should Commander Luo lower himself to the level of a dead man?"

“This Wu family had a miserable life. We should keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other.”

He then instructed the Xieling brothers to properly place Aunt Haozi's body back on its original position.

"Moreover."

"The ancestral hall is a place for the dead to stay. It's one thing for the living to stay there, but how can it be used by cuckoos to occupy the nest?"

Since Chen Yulou had said so, Luo Laowai couldn't say anything more.

He spat in frustration and said to the Xieling brothers, "Move her away from me, so I don't have to see her."

The Xieling brothers smiled sheepishly and had no choice but to do as they were told, moving Aunt Haozi's body behind the door.

"Whoo~"

Suddenly, a strong wind picked up outside the door.

A gust of wind blew into the room, lifting the white cloth covering the corpse.

The brothers of the Unloading Ridge Brothers caught a glimpse of Aunt Rat's appearance out of the corner of their eye and were instantly terrified!

"Mom!"

He immediately threw down the corpse of Aunt Rat and took several steps back!

"Noisy!"

Chen Yulou angrily cursed, "A corpse scares you like this? What kind of behavior is this?"

But when I looked over, I was so frightened that I trembled all over!

Luo Laowai cursed even louder, "Fuck your mother's ass!"

"It really is a giant, intelligent black rat?!"

Yin Xinyue and Hong Guniang, who were standing next to Li Xiaohu, also felt a chill in their hearts when they looked in the same direction!

Yin Xinyue instinctively grabbed Li Xiaohu's arm.

Even though Li Xiaohu was mentally prepared.

Upon seeing Aunt Haozi's true appearance, he couldn't help but frown.

The corpse of Aunt Haozi was a blackish-grayish-white color, shriveled and decayed, like a piece of dead wood.

A tiny head, no bigger than a palm, sits atop a slender neck, its features huddled together!

Small eyebrows, small eyes, thin ears, pointed nose, protruding mouth, narrow chin, and several buck teeth protruding from the mouth.

At first glance in the dim environment.

It really does look like a giant black rat that has cultivated itself into a spirit!

Even Li Xiaohu's four spirit cats bristled and hissed in disgust upon seeing this!

Li Xiaohu calmly walked forward, picked up the white cloth and yellow talisman, and covered the corpse of Aunt Rat again.

He sighed and said, "Please do not panic."

"It's just a naturally deformed face; it's not some rat that has cultivated itself into a spirit."

Chen Yulou glanced at Li Xiaohu with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, he remained calm throughout, while these self-proclaimed "ruthless" people who were used to robbing ancient tombs and seeing corpses made a fuss over nothing.

While feeling slightly ashamed, I couldn't help but admire Li Xiaohu's composure and calmness in the face of adversity.

At least from this perspective...

He seems like someone capable of great things.

"Ahem." Chen Yulou coughed lightly twice, changing the subject, "Go and gather some firewood."

The brothers from the Unloading Ridge Sect responded and left.

Soon he returned with a few people carrying a pile of firewood.

Several people lit a fire, sat around it, and ate simple dried meat and rations.

Chen Yulou said, "Let's rest here for the night."

"Once Hua Ma Guai brings the Angry Sun Chicken tomorrow, we'll set off directly for Ping Mountain!"

Luo Laowai nodded in agreement.

Li Xiaohu had no objections.

After all, it was agreed before the trip that all actions would be arranged by Chen Yulou.

Li Xiaohu shared the dried meat in his hand with the four spirit cats beside him, then said softly, "You guys go outside for a walk."

This move was partly to explore the area around the museum.

Secondly.

To prevent them from interfering with my important business later.

The four civets obediently ran outside and disappeared in a flash.

"Good." Chen Yulou nodded in satisfaction, then stood up and instructed, "After the brothers have tidied up the rooms, everyone can go and rest."

The words are not finished yet.

Suddenly, as if possessed, I turned around and glanced back.

Li Xiaohu sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with Chief Chen?"

Chen Yulou narrowed his eyes, staring intently at a dark spot on the roof beam, and murmured, "I feel as if someone is watching us from the shadows."

The sensible girl picked up a torch and lit it.

Shocking discovery!

An old woman dressed entirely in white was perched on the roof beam, staring intently at them with her cloudy eyes!

Chen Yulou instinctively flipped his wrist, revealing a cold glint as he threw it out!

"Bah!"

"Death to the evil spirits!"

The sudden appearance of the old woman in white startled everyone present, causing them to stand up instantly!

Red Girl drew her throwing knife from her waist, ready to shoot, while Old Man Luo pulled out his revolver.

Two shots right away!

"Boom!"

"Ah!" Yin Xinyue exclaimed in fright.
