Descending upon the terrifying heavens as a superman

Judging from the original work, the world of Mojin: The Lost Legend does not seem to have any evil spirits. Hu Bayi and his companions never encountered any of them, from when they were sent to the countryside as educated youth to when they later smuggled themselves to America.

The supernatural events they encountered were things like giant zombies in ancient tombs. They must have actually encountered them, and more than once. That's why Wang Kaixuan brought the black donkey hoof and stuffed it into the mouth of Mark, the foreigner who had turned into a giant zombie.

The Japanese soldiers they encountered at the tomb of the Khitan princess were the only truly vicious monsters they ever met.

Zhang Yue stroked his chin and pondered for a while. There was a detail in the movie where Hu Bayi snatched a Japanese soldier's weapon and then attacked it with his own, but the weapon hit the soldier's head directly and turned to ash.

There's a second detail: when they found the Khitan princess's coffin, they discovered the remains and clothes of the educated youth from back then, beneath the high platform.

But in their memory, it was the fuse that was lit that detonated the Japanese soldiers' ammunition depot...

If their memories are correct, then the remains of the educated youth would not have had any clothes left behind; they would have been burned to ashes by the aftershocks of the explosion.

What does this mean?

This means... everything that happened back then was an illusion.

The educated youth who entered the Japanese underground base with Hu Bayi and the others either fell into a hallucination and killed each other, or were influenced by the Japanese soldiers in the hallucination and killed by their own subconscious.

And Ding Sitian...

It's possible he wasn't killed by an explosion, but rather by a fall.

"But in any case, since the imperial edict mentions 'fierce and sinister,' then it must exist. Writing more Maoshan talismans will definitely be beneficial..."

Zhang Yue wasn't in a hurry; he simply continued his cultivation under the bridge.

Although Global Mining is going to engage in grave robbing, it has to do so under the guise of foreign investment, so it's unlikely to happen so quickly.

Just cultivate the Eye of Life and Death slowly on your own. You should know that the Spirit Cultivation Society members go tomb raiding with guns, and you can't be invulnerable to weapons.

Therefore, at crucial moments, using the Eye of Life and Death in conjunction with the insect-borne fungus to control them with illusions is Zhang Yue's trump card.

Sure enough, three days after Zhang Yue had fooled Big Gold Tooth, Hu Bayi, and the others, the group drove a Chevrolet to Chinatown.

"Master Zhang, Master Zhang, there's a good job for you, would you like to take it?"

That day, Wang Kaixuan excitedly ran to Zhang Yue's bridge hole and immediately introduced him to a big job.

"Oh, what job?" Zhang Yue asked, feigning ignorance.

"Hehe... naturally, this is our job as tomb raiders... 100,000, 100,000 US dollars, let's go, let's go to Big Gold Tooth's place, we'll talk as we walk..."

In the 1990s, the average income in mainland China was only a few hundred dollars. The Spiritual Cultivation Society offered Big Gold Tooth and his group a reward of 100,000 US dollars, so it's no wonder they were tempted.

Although Wang Kaixuan's face showed excitement, there was not a trace of greed for money in his eyes. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with longing to see his beloved.

Simply because what he saw at Big Gold Tooth was a pattern, a pattern called the Red Spider Lily.

The ancient underground tomb where Ding Sitian died had this pattern, and he would never forget it until his death.

In the original story, the Japanese soldiers were digging underground air-raid shelters to build a military base, but they accidentally dug through a natural cave that the Khitan princess was using as her tomb.

Then they discovered many valuable cultural relics inside, so they moved them in bulk, and Wang Kaixuan naturally remembered the pattern of the red spider lily among the relics.

This is why, after the Tomb Raiders disbanded, he resolutely accepted Big Gold Tooth's invitation to go tomb raiding once again.

Zhang Yue smiled, stood up, and said, "One hundred thousand US dollars, that's quite a lot. We can go take a look..."

Wang Kaixuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, "It's absolutely worth the money, Master Zhang, don't worry, you can have my share. I only have one request: please help me open my Yin-Yang eyes so I can see an old friend..."

Zhang Yue pretended not to understand, "An old friend?"

Wang Kaixuan nodded solemnly, "That's right, my old friend. She was the love of my life. She died in the ancient tomb twenty years ago. Unlike Hu Bayi, I only love one person in my life. So my greatest wish in life is to see her again..."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "No problem, but I must tell you something. After a person dies, except in some special circumstances, they rarely stay in the human world. You can think of it as going to the underworld to report for duty."

"So I can open your psychic eyes, but I can't guarantee you'll actually see her..."

"It's alright, as long as you can open it for me..." Wang Kaixuan said with a beaming smile. "Speaking of which, during the few days you opened my yin-yang eyes, I also made a special trip to see a few dead homeless people."

"I didn't see any Ox-Head or Horse-Face, or Black and White Impermanence either. It seems the Americans don't have any soul-reaping messengers?"

These are different jurisdictions...

Zhang Yue rolled her eyes. "How would I know? Maybe they went to hell themselves."

……

……

"Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Yue, the legitimate successor of the Maoshan School. Brother Zhang, he's a true master..."

Several people were gathered in Big Gold Tooth's antique shop.

Zhang Yue glanced at the list and saw that Ying Caihong, the cult leader of Global Mining, hadn't come. Instead, her goddaughter Yangzi, a ruthless girl of sixteen or seventeen, and her manager Mark were there.

Yes, Mark, with his blond hair and blue eyes, is very recognizable. He's the kind of handsome man commonly seen in Europe and America, but his ending is quite tragic. He contracted the virus and turned into a giant rice dumpling.

While Zhang Yue called it a virus, he felt it was more likely some kind of germ mixed with magic. After all, buried underground for over a thousand years, it was impossible for a simple bacterium or virus to survive for so long.

"Oh, so this is the one you've been waiting for?"

Mark frowned. "Is he also part of your tomb raiding gang?"

Big Gold Tooth explained obsequiously, "Master Zhang isn't a tomb raider; he's a Maoshan Taoist priest who can catch ghosts. You're an outsider, so you might not know, but this ancient tomb has 'giant zombies' inside, and who knows, maybe even more ferocious ghosts..."

Mark laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I'd believe you if you said there were traps in the ancient tomb, but you're talking about evil spirits? There are no evil spirits in this world. If there were, they would have been flying all over the place during World War I and II."

Zhang Yue smiled and didn't defend herself. As long as Da Jin Ya and Wang Kai Xuan believed her, that was enough.

"To tell you the truth, Ms. Ying Caihong from our board of directors is very interested in ancient Chinese civilization..."

"She highly values ​​the professional skills of your tomb raiders and has ordered that your team be brought out of the mountains at any cost."

"According to what we've heard, the tomb raiders are a trio, but you've only brought in this Mr. Wang, and then randomly pulled in some so-called Taoist priest to make up the numbers... This $100,000 isn't so easy to earn."

"unless……"

Clearly, the Spirit Cultivation Society had thoroughly investigated the matter before coming to invite people.

Moreover, the invitation was specifically for the three members of the Tomb Raiders, so now they only brought in Wang Kaixuan for Big Gold Tooth, and then randomly found Zhang Yue to make up the numbers, which made them very dissatisfied.

Zhang Yue smiled. "Unless what?"

The girl, Yoko, dressed in an unconventional style, walked up to Zhang Yue with a defiant expression and said, "Unless you can prove that evil spirits really exist..."
