Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

"Is this your first day with me?"

"No, okay, I'll get on it right away."

"..."

Although he was still a little worried about the delivery of meat dumplings to the city tonight, his subordinates quickly ran to prepare the carriage.

After the carriage was ready.

Once inside the car, Sun Guofu began to talk about the female ghost who was claiming lives.

"...After Hu Guohua was afflicted by the evil spell of the paper dotting technique, I used the Dragon-Seeking Technique to thoroughly investigate the area around him, and then followed the clues to the place called Thirteen Mile Shop..."

In the old days, that place was located beside the official road and was a small shop where people could rest.

It served as a simple rest stop for traveling merchants and porters.

Later, the world became turbulent and unsettled, the population dwindled, the post station fell into disrepair, and it gradually became a mass grave.

The number thirteen is considered an inauspicious number in the I Ching and Bagua, representing Yin energy.

In addition, the messy corpses piled up in the Thirteen Mile Shop area gradually nurtured the female corpse ghost.

During the day, that place is dark and cold, with little sunlight.

Once night falls, it becomes completely dark.

As for why so many people didn't harm him, but instead chose to harm Hu Bayi's grandfather, Hu Guohua.

Su Mu had probably already guessed the reason.

Hu Guohua, relying on his family's wealth from his early years, was lazy and uneducated from a young age, and also developed bad habits such as opium smoking and gambling.

Over time, Hu Guohua, who was penniless and timid, started to resort to unorthodox methods.

First, a rat spirit brought him copper coins and silver dollars, and then a paper doll was dotted with eyes and transformed into a woman to serve him.

It is highly likely that Hu Guohua's destiny makes him extremely susceptible to attracting such evil spirits.

If nothing happened before, it's highly likely that our ancestors were kowtowing to Yama, the King of Hell, until their heads were smoking in the underworld.

The fact that he is in trouble now proves that his ancestors no longer protect him.

"Young Master Su seems different from those peddlers in the city. He truly stands out from the crowd and is a great talent," Sun Guofu praised Su Mu generously.

Su Mu touched his nose.

He's just not good at tomb raiding, not that he doesn't want to do it.

It's obvious the other party misunderstood.

"Master, should we go to Chang Le Town first, or somewhere else?"

The driver looked at the fork in the road ahead, stopped the horses, and asked Su Mu and Sun Guofu inside the carriage.

The road from Shisanlipu and Changle Town diverges at this point, leading in different directions.

"Please make a trip to Chang Le Town first."

"Then let's go to Chang Le Town."

Su Mu nodded.

After Sun Guofu lowered the carriage curtain, he explained why they went to Changle Town first.

Sun Guofu: "People like Hu Guohua probably won't give up until they see the Yellow River. If he doesn't personally experience the danger of that female corpse ghost, he won't easily break his bad habits. After I leave, he will still go back to his old ways."

Sun Guofu was a kind-hearted man who traveled the world and used his feng shui skills to help people.

As one of the closed-door disciples of the famous Taoist priest "Zhang Sanlianzi" and "Zhang Sanye the Tomb Raider", he not only did not learn the skills of tomb raiding and tomb robbing, but also deeply abhorred such things.

Sun Guofu's chance encounter with Zhang Sanlianzi, who was wearing three tomb raiding talismans, was an accident.

Seeing that Sun Guofu was like himself, a descendant of a prestigious family but now living in poverty, yet possessing great learning, Zhang Sanlianzi felt a pang of regret for Sun Guofu's talent.

However, Sun Guofu was unwilling to learn the skills of tomb raiding.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Sanlianzi gave the other party half of his Feng Shui secrets as a parting gift between master and disciple.

Zhang Sanlianzi's other three apprentices, Feitian Chuanchi, Jin Suanpan, and Tie Motou, each received a Tomb Raider Talisman and corresponding Tomb Raider skills.

North of the Yellow River, legends about these three people still circulate in the martial arts world.

However, they did not set foot in the southern region, so no one in Changsha City recognized them yet.

"Why did you come to the city to look for me?" Su Mu suddenly asked.

Sun Guofu subconsciously touched the spot on his brow: "Hu Guohua and I are destined to be intertwined, and it is destined that I will take him as my disciple in this life. But when I met him, my brow twitched wildly, as if I had an uneasy premonition. Then when I looked up, I saw that soaring light.

A doctor cannot heal himself.

Sun Guofu is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Bagua, Feng Shui, and Yi Jing, and is a well-known Feng Shui master in the province.

However, they could not predict their own fate and future.

He was extremely proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Bagua, Feng Shui, and Yi Jing, and had a keen sense of certain things.

Even the most ordinary person knows that a sudden twitching of the eyelids usually indicates that something good or bad is about to happen.

A highly skilled feng shui master like him would understand the underlying principles even better.

That's why he suddenly came into the city to find the "True Immortal Temple".

Sun Guofu recalled the couplets and lintel he had seen in front of the Zhenxian Temple shop, and his expression began to become somewhat dazed.

An enlightened being would never so brazenly proclaim to the world that seeing me is like seeing the Great Luo Heaven.

A half-baked person would never come up with a saying like "If one is not bound by form."

In Changsha, a city brimming with the spirit of the underworld, even swindlers couldn't get a shop to open and establish themselves in this way.

So, only one reason remains.

Zhenxian Temple.

It is intended to help people who have reached a point where they are facing certain death.

After breaking through the fog, they saw the true immortal.

"This is it. Please wait for me a moment. I'm a bit of a scoundrel, so please don't take offense."

Sun Guofu gave Su Mu a heads-up beforehand.

Su Mu nodded.

After a while.

Sun Guofu pulled Hu Guohua, who was covered in acrid smoke and had a dazed look in his eyes and was in a drunken stupor, out of the door and came to the carriage.

"You unfilial son, you dare to smoke opium behind my back! You said you'd quit!"

Sun Guofu gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Immortal Master, no, my revered master, spare me! I am in so much pain! That female ghost has ripped out my heart and lungs. She even made me trick other people into going there so she could eat my heart and lungs. I really dare not!"

Hu Guohua, tears streaming down his face, clung to Sun Guofu's leg, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Uncle Sun, get in the car," Su Mu said casually, lifting the car curtain.

Sun Guofu nodded and made a move to pull Hu Guohua into the car together.

Su Mu, who was standing by the carriage curtain, shook his head: "Let this guy follow behind the carriage. It'll be good for him to sober up from his opium addiction."

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Guofu listened to Su Mu's advice and got into the car first.

"You gave him money?" Su Mu asked, puzzled.

"His family is destitute, there's nothing we can do, alas." Sun Guofu sighed and shook his head.

Hu Guohua stared at the carriage that had already started moving, slapping his dazed head. "Who is this kid? How dare he make me run? Is he Master's new apprentice? But even if he is, he should at least let his senior brother get on the carriage first. He really doesn't understand any manners!"

slap~

Su Mu and Sun Guofu in the carriage did not hear Hu Guohua's mutterings, but the coachman did.

The driver cracked his whip and lashed Hu Guohua: "If you keep nagging our boss, I'll kill you, you believe me?"

Hu Guohua took a closer look, and his expression changed drastically.

Because of his gambling and opium addiction, he sold off all his ancestral inheritance and borrowed money from all sides.

After borrowing money from a small loan shark, the man driving the carriage was among the thugs who came to collect the debt.

Hu Guohua would never forget the scar on that man's face.

But how did a ruthless thug from the underworld end up driving for that young man?

And they even address the other party as "shopkeeper" or "owner"?
