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

Hearing this, the brothers mustered their courage again and slowly walked inside.

Wait until they've gone far away.

Chen Yulou noticed that the passageway at the entrance was winding upwards, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where does this passageway lead?"

Li Xiaohu was about to speak.

Partridge Whistle, who was standing nearby, said first: "Judging from the terrain we've traversed, this passage should lead directly into the heart of the mountains."

"That's also the most suitable place for burial!"

"Then what the hell are we waiting for?" Luo Laowai suddenly exclaimed, "Let's hurry up and follow them to see!"

As he spoke, he stepped past the others and entered the passageway ahead of them.

Li Xiaohu smiled and opened his mouth, but in the end he closed it.

Anyway, what Partridge Whistle said was pretty much right.

If you follow this passageway, you will eventually find the tomb of a Yuan Dynasty general.

Chen Yulou chuckled and followed him inside.

Li Xiaohu glanced at Yin Xinyue beside him with concern. As if knowing what he was about to say, she spoke first:

"Don't worry, I know what to do, I won't run around."

Only then did Li Xiaohu feel relieved and follow into the tunnel.

After making arrangements outside, Hong Guniang and Hua Maguai followed with some of their men.

Inside the passageway.

Luo Laowai walked along happily.

As they walked, they imagined how they would spend the money when they got back.

but.

The brothers who were scouting ahead suddenly stopped moving.

Luo Laowai ran into him.

"Fuck your grandma!" Old Luo cursed angrily. "What are you doing?"

"Commander Luo..." one of the brothers said tremblingly, "There seems to be someone up ahead?"

As he spoke, he pointed forward.

Looking in that direction, Luo Laowai discovered a blurry figure amidst the swirling clouds ahead!

The figures were indistinct against the backdrop of firelight and mist.

The dimly lit place seemed extremely eerie.

"..." Old Luo licked his lips, mustered his courage, and shouted loudly, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

But there was no response.

Luo Laowai turned his head and glanced at his two brothers, only to find that they were both looking at him expectantly.

If I were to desert now, I would definitely lose face in front of them.

He then drew the ivory-handled revolver from his waist, spun the magazine around with a "clatter," and carefully stepped forward.

"Whoo~"

A gust of wind suddenly blew from the front, stirring up a cloud of mist!

The figure in front suddenly disappeared again!

Luo Laowai suddenly remembered the legend of the "Xiangxi Corpse King" that he had heard before.

"Gulu."

Startled, he swallowed hard and dared not go any further.

"Could this be the legendary Xiangxi Corpse King?"

Fortunately, Chen Yulou and Li Xiaohu caught up at this moment. Looking at the strange Luo Laowai, they asked in confusion, "Commander Luo, what happened?"

Luo Laowai said timidly, "Ahead, it seems to be the Xiangxi Corpse King..."

"The Corpse King of Western Hunan?!" Chen Yulou and the others were taken aback upon hearing this and immediately became alert.

Li Xiaohu laughed out loud and said, "The Corpse King of Xiangxi?"

"Probably not?"

Otherwise, we should have smelled the stench of death; my cat would have meowed beforehand.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou and the others looked down at the cats at Li Xiaohu's feet and found that they were all quiet and not making a sound. They figured there was nothing unusual ahead, so they were relieved.

"Let's go take a look," Li Xiaohu gestured, indicating that they should continue walking.

He had already guessed what the figure Luo Laowai had seen was.

It's highly likely that it's the corpse of Guanshan Taibao.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle both chose to follow.

Seeing that everyone else was walking forward, Luo Laowai felt embarrassed to stay in the same place any longer. He took a few deep breaths and quickly followed.

Li Xiaohu, holding a torch, gradually ventured deeper into the area.

A figure quickly came into view.

As it gets closer.

The outline of the figure gradually became clear.

It turned out to be a corpse sitting cross-legged in the passageway.

The body was tall and obese, and relatively well-preserved; it was not decomposed, and its features were still clearly visible.

He had a high nose, a wide mouth, and a thick, bushy beard like a lion's mane.

He wore a tall black hat and made a strange hand gesture; he wore a jet-black robe and large black boots on his exposed feet.

However, most of the clothes had rotted, making it difficult to determine their style and age.

Chen Yulou asked in confusion, "Who exactly is this person, and why did he die here?"

Partridge Whistle concluded, "In any case, they're not Yuan people."

“The Yuan people lived in vast, cold lands year-round and wore leather coats. Even when they moved south, they would not wear such shabby cloth clothes.”

“Moreover…” Partridge Whistle glanced at the tall hat on the corpse’s head, “the style of this hat is also very strange.”

"It's hard to tell which dynasty or era he came from, or what kind of person he was."

"This looks like a theatrical costume?" the girl in red suddenly said as she stepped forward.

"When I was a child, I traveled around performing with my master and saw similar costumes—long robes and tall hats, almost identical in style, except..."

Hong Guniang suddenly paused, glancing at the group with a strange look in her eyes.

"What is 023?" Chen Yulou pressed.

"However, this costume isn't for a stage performance, but rather..."

Li Xiaohu then explained.

"A ghost play for ghosts!"

"A shady play?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, looking at the two of them in disbelief.

The girl in red nodded in agreement, confirming, "Little Tiger is right."

"There is indeed such a scene in the Yin-Yang play."

"The black robe, black boots, and black top hat costume corresponds to the Black Impermanence, the soul-reaping messenger in the underworld!"

"hiss......"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped and looked at each other, seemingly finding it hard to accept the answer.

In this eerie and dark ancient tomb.

Suddenly encountering a Black Impermanence blocking your way is not a good thing for anyone!

But then again.

"If he's just an actor."

Why are you here?

You must understand that this is not an ordinary deep mountain forest, but a secret passage in the Dan Palace of Ping Mountain, and a secret passage hidden in layers!

Even they went through countless hardships to find this place.

How could an ordinary actor possibly get to this place?

Li Xiaohu suddenly laughed and teased:

"Chief Chen is blinded by his own involvement; how could he not guess his identity?"
