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

"It is nothing special."

"The paintings are all about exorcising evil spirits and warding off plagues, as well as auspicious omens and ascension to immortality."

Yin Xinyue still frowned; such a simple explanation clearly failed to make her understand.

Li Xiaohu smiled and added, "Since the Qin Dynasty, when the First Emperor unified the country, my country has been influenced by the various schools of thought, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and Taoist cultivation."

"Then the practice of seeking immortality while alive and having a grand funeral after death became popular."

"So from that time onward, almost every emperor became obsessed with cultivating immortality and achieving immortality."

"Exorcising evil spirits and warding off disease refers to a burial ritual that can protect the body of the deceased from the disturbance of spirits and wild beasts, and from the corrosion of mosquitoes, ants and poisonous insects."

"The auspicious omen ascending to heaven should be easy to understand, right?"

Yin Xinyue nodded thoughtfully.

Then he suddenly asked, "Can they really cultivate immortality and live forever?"

Li Xiaohu was taken aback by the question.

Even Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle, who were standing to the side, all turned their heads to look at Yin Xinyue.

Li Xiaohu couldn't help but frown and ponder.

Based on his understanding of this world, the possibility of successfully cultivating immortality is extremely slim.

But immortality is absolutely possible!

He was just about to answer.

Chen Yulou, who was standing to the side, suddenly sneered and said, "There is no such thing as attaining immortality or living forever."

"It's all just the pipe dream of those old emperors."

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle frowned, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end.

"Senior Brother Head!"

Hua Ling suddenly screamed in alarm!

"Muchen Pearl!"

Partridge Whistle's eyes widened instantly, and he quickly walked up to Hua Ling.

Li Xiaohu and Chen Yulou followed.

Hua Ling excitedly pointed to a mural.

The painting depicts a landscape of towering mountains, with a single, leaning mountain piercing the clouds in the center!

The shape of the mountain is exactly like the Bottle Mountain where they are!

At the summit of the mountain, a round bead glittered brightly!

The beads are engraved with patterns, and at first glance, they look like a human eyeball!

"Sect Leader!" the old foreigner exclaimed excitedly, "It really is the Muchen Pearl!"

Partridge Whistle's breathing gradually became rapid!

His clan had been searching for a thousand years, and he had spent most of his life seeking the sacred object. Was he finally about to find it?

Chen Yulou, standing to the side, said with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Partridge Whistle!"

"It seems that the 'elixir of immortality' that your Mountain Moving lineage is searching for is very likely in this Bottle Mountain."

Li Xiaohu smiled but didn't say anything.

He knew perfectly well that the Muchen Pearl was not here, but in the tomb of the King of Xian in the Insect Valley of Yunnan.

However, he couldn't possibly tell Partridge Whistle the truth.

Putting aside whether people believe it or not, how can I convince them to go with me to rob the tomb of King Xian after I tell them?

Partridge Whistle remained silent for a long while.

Finally, he slowly spoke, "Thank you for your kind words, Brother Chen."

Whether the Muchen Pearl is here or not remains to be seen until we investigate further.

The answer was very rational, which was somewhat unexpected.

Li Xiaohu shook his head and sighed.

He knew that Partridge Whistle had been searching for the Muchen Pearl for most of his life, and must have found many similar clues.

But in the end, they gained nothing.

But even so.

He will not give up on any possibility and will continue to search diligently.

Now that we have seen the closest clue to the truth, we can still remain rational.

This kind of mindset is truly rare.

Chen Yulou smiled helplessly and gestured for the bandits to continue forward.

"Let's go."

The bandits from the Unloading Ridge Sect emerged from the passageway and arrived once again at a magnificent, golden hall.

Judging from the layout and specifications, it appears to be an inner hall.

same.

There were no superfluous furnishings inside, only a few beams and pillars inlaid with gold and jade.

Luo Laowai didn't mind at all, and excitedly arranged for his men to dig for gold and silver again, and then followed Chen Yulou to continue deeper into the area.

They walked out and entered the hall.

The bandits from the Unloading Ridge Clan arrived at a large cave once again.

Deep inside the cave.

And there stands another magnificent and resplendent palace!

It was even more magnificent and imposing than the one they had seen before!

Jade palace with golden roof, golden bricks and green tiles.

The two vermilion pillars in front of the main hall are covered with paintings of flying dragons and auspicious clouds, and are also covered with gold and jade ornaments, making them look incredibly luxurious and noble!

In front of the main hall is a spacious platform.

The ground was paved with bluestone bricks, on which were also placed two rows of eight-treasure glazed cups.

There is also a railing made of white marble around the perimeter, blocking the way to a dark ravine, and above it are three arched bridges made of white marble.

The firelight emanating from the eight-treasure glass lamp, refracted by the gold, silver, and jade stones, illuminated the entire cave with twinkling lights.

In a daze, everyone thought they had arrived at a heavenly palace in a celestial paradise!

"Hahahaha!" Luo Laowai burst into laughter instantly, "Fuck your mother's ass!"

"Could this be the underworld palace of the Xiangxi Corpse King?"

The palace in front of me was only visible for a glance.

This made Luo Laowai feel that countless riches were waiting for him.

Chen Yulou squinted at the main hall and vaguely saw a plaque hanging above the main entrance, but it was too far away to see clearly.

He then decided to get closer to observe, and waved his hand to give the order.

"Let's go take a look ahead!"

Li Xiaohu looked around the cave and vaguely sensed something ominous.

The six-winged centipede from my memory is right here.

Looking at Jin Yunu and the round-tailed tiger at my feet, I noticed that they were also a little nervous.

Just as he was about to speak to remind Chen Yulou, he found that he had already led his men far away.

He quickly followed.

"Chief Chen!"

Chen Yulou stopped on the arched bridge, turned around and looked at Li Xiaohu with a puzzled expression.

Li Xiaohu walked onto the arched bridge, looking warily at the bottomless abyss below, and said, "Something's not right here."

The round-tailed tigers, Jin Yunu and others, jumped onto the bridge railing and growled softly towards the ground.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou instantly became alert and turned to stare intently at the bottom of the bridge.

However, nothing unusual was found.

However, a certain aura kept wafting from under the bridge, making him feel uneasy.

"Brother Chen, be careful," Partridge Whistle said as he stepped forward. "There's a very strong demonic aura here."

Partridge Whistle spends many years capturing yellow and white demons to rid the people of evil, so his sensitivity to demons is much stronger than Chen Yulou's.

Upon seeing the two issue warnings, Chen Yulou instantly suppressed his excitement and ordered the Xieling bandits to be on high alert.
