He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

The deeper you go, the heavier the yin energy becomes, and the decaying leaves are half a foot thick.

Unlike the main road, this place is actually the most dangerous. Under the decaying leaves, there might be a cobra hiding.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary wild beast, which was not a big problem for a person with advanced cultivation.

With their protective qi shield activated, the two were able to move at a considerable speed, even in the mountains and forests.

……

"Click~"

After stomping the snake's head flat, Liu Yanyan couldn't help but spit on the ground.

"I can't believe I ran into this lousy thing! You're really unlucky to have run into me. Tonight, I'm not eating compressed biscuits, I'm having spicy strips instead!"

After grumbling for a while, Liu Yanyan, who was carrying spicy strips in her hand, also spoke up.

"Boss, how much longer do you think it will take us to get there?"

"You, the Liu family, discovered this place, and you're asking me?"

"I've never been here before, but my family told me about this place..." Liu Yanyan stuck out her tongue and whispered.

He took out a map from his backpack and glanced at it against the compass.

"At the current speed, it will probably take another half hour."

And I don't know if you've noticed, but besides the mountain peak you're standing on, we've seen quite a few climbing ropes and other equipment along the way, including some bullet casings. It seems we're almost there!

Liu Yanyan watched with trepidation.

"Boss, are you saying that all these people belong to the Liu family?"

"I estimate it's more than that!"

I took a close look when I came here. The types and ages of the equipment are all different, and they don't seem to belong to the same team. In fact, there are quite a few foreign items mixed in.

"I imagine that besides your Liu family, other people have been to this place, maybe even some foreigners!"

"Foreigners come here too?"

Will they come too?

Haha, what you're saying, those guys come here way too often!

Being alone is slightly better; apart from some people on Nathan Island and Mount Beagle, the only other relatively well-known place is Barron.

But if the world of the tomb were integrated, there would be far too many foreigners seeking immortality.

Large workforce, ample funds, and superior equipment are practically synonymous with those companies.

These days, it's impossible for an ordinary person to bring a gun into Tianhan territory. If Qin Yun wasn't mistaken, those weapons must have been brought by foreign tomb raiders.

……

After walking into the dense forest for another half hour, just when Liu Yanyan was about to give up, Qin Yun suddenly stopped.

"To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains; each mountain is a barrier!"

His fingertips formed the Dragon Seeking Technique seal, and his gaze swept across the contours of the mountains.

"arrive!"

"Huh? We're here?"

Seeing Liu Yanyan struggling to breathe, Qin Yun took out a bottle of water from the exquisite jade key and handed it to her, pointing to the mountains not far away.

"Do you see those mountains over there?"

"Boss, are you kidding me? Where are we? I've been looking at mountains all this time."

Seeing mountains in the Lesser Khingan Mountains, what's so special about that?

To be fair, that mountain does look quite imposing; could there really be something underneath it?

"You..."

Liu Yanyan may have some talent in corpse transportation, but she is a complete novice when it comes to finding auspicious burial sites.

"Look closely, that's the Three Terraces and Canopy Feng Shui Formation you mentioned before!"

"The feng shui of Ao Bai's tomb is strange and unpredictable, with a hidden killing formation outside the Three Platforms and Canopy formation."

Laymen only see the clustered mountains and the gathering of wind and energy here, thinking it is a treasure trove of great wealth and honor, but they do not know that it is a place that kills the master and causes the extinction of the family line.

Without understanding the principles of geomancy and feng shui, they forcibly entered the mountains...

Do you see those pieces of equipment from before?

"Either get lost and starve to death like them, or trigger the traps and die a gruesome death, never even reaching the tomb entrance!"

"This...this is so mysterious?"

How could a dead mountain have such great power?

At first, Liu Yanyan was indeed a little skeptical, but when she thought about how many skilled members of the Liu family in Xiangxi had all perished here and failed to retrieve Ao Bai's body, Liu Yanyan couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"The secret arts of Feng Shui say: The Huagai refers to the celestial phenomena of the heavens and the mountain shapes of the earth!"

The "Three Terraces and Canopy" refers to three rows of main peaks, stacked upwards like an imperial canopy, signifying nobility, death, or seclusion.

Look at the mountain range before you:

The previous one was a canopy with a pointed, rounded shape, which locked in the air and sheltered from the wind;

The central platform is supported by a canopy, with a gentle mountain slope, which gathers energy and absorbs negative influences.

The latter platform forms the foundation of the canopy, backing onto the main dragon vein and drawing in the remaining energy of the dragon vein.

Three peaks stacked one upon another, flowing seamlessly together—this is the authentic Three Platforms Canopy Formation!

Ordinary tomb raiders only know that the Huagai (a type of roof ornament) signifies great wealth and honor, but they are unaware of the deadly trap within this formation.

"This situation is a false nobility but a true killing formation. There is a canopy outside welcoming the energy, and a yin vein inside piercing the heart."

Qin Yun strode forward. If a master of Qimen Dunjia were present, it would not be difficult to see that Qin Yun's every step was precisely placed on the dragon vein's energy eye, and every step was in accordance with the principles of sorcerers.

Although he had never practiced Qimen magic, as a descendant of the Qin family, Qin Yun was very knowledgeable about Qimen.

The "Hanlong Jing" states that if the Huagai (a type of canopy) carries a killing intent, the living will not return home.

This arrangement places the tomb chamber of Ao Bai in the piercing-heart evil position of the Three Terraces Canopy, using the noble energy of the dragon vein to conceal the inauspicious evil formation.

"Outsiders entering the mountains will only look for tombs where the mountain slopes converge, but that area is full of dead ends."

There were trapdoors buried beneath our feet, and the bottom of the pits was covered with iron spikes and poisonous sand.

Hidden in the mountains is a trap of flowing sand; triggering it even slightly will result in being buried alive.

A maze of Yin Qi was set up in the forest. If a living person entered it, their mind and spirit would collapse within three days, and they would kill each other.

Those tomb raiders who perished here all stepped into a death trap; they didn't even see the actual entrance to the tomb passage before they were killed.

In fact, there were some things Qin Yun didn't say explicitly.

The Three Platforms and Canopy Formation is indeed dangerous, but for true experts, it is not difficult to break.

In other words, if the Liu family didn't intend to monopolize it, they could have sought help from one or two masters of divination, such as the people from Zhuge Village in Lanxi.

This strange formation in front of us has probably already been broken.

However, this is ultimately a private matter for the Liu family, and it's really not appropriate for someone like me, who got there first, to say anything.

Liu Yanyan felt a chill run down her spine as she listened. Looking at the distant mountains, she finally understood how terrifying this ancient tomb was.

Qin Yun did not pause. He opened his golden eyes to their fullest extent, and the golden light in his eyes swept across the mountains and dragon's lair.

"The Huagai Bureau is based on the principle of 'three peaks locking the Qi and one aperture opening the Qi.' It is full of death gates, but leaves one life gate Qi eye."

According to ancient Feng Shui principles, Yang energy is received by Yin energy, and Yin energy is received by Yang energy; life is hidden within destruction, which is called the "Qi point".

In fact, it's not just the tomb in front of us. According to the "Book of Burial," all tombs should have an air vent, otherwise it would be detrimental to the tomb owner.

That place is our breakthrough point!

As he spoke, Qin Yun looked up and locked his gaze on the left side of the central peak, at an inconspicuous, sparsely and messily shaped valley.

"The Three Peaks of Huagai are divided into three peaks: the front peak is associated with Yang and Sha, the rear peak with Yin and Sha, and the middle peak is where Yin and Yang meet."

That mountain hollow, shaped like a tiger's mouth swallowing something, yet it neither gathers malevolent energy nor welcomes fierce winds; it is the only gate of life within the deadly trap, and also the true entrance to Ao Bai's tomb.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yun strode straight into the ravine.

The jumbled rocks, withered trees, and mist were all meaningless to him.

What outsiders see as a hopeless situation.

For Qin Yun, it was nothing more than an easy road.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan was still somewhat confused, but she followed Qin Yun step by step.
