Yun Ziqian, standing nearby, looked at Xiao Jin curiously. "What's wrong?"

"Nobody's saying anything?"

Xiao Jin looked up at Yun Ziqian, pointed to the large black rock, and said, "This rock is strange."

"You ignorant brat, how dare you speak so rudely!" The man's voice was deep and authoritative.

Xiao Jin was completely confused. She couldn't help but tug at Yun Ziqian's sleeve, opened her mouth to look at him, and asked, "Grand-nephew, are my lips yellow?"

Yun Ziqian leaned down slightly, raised his hand to pinch Xiao Jin's chin, and looked her over carefully from left to right. "Nothing there?"

"My teeth are very clean, and I can't see any cavities."

"Does your tooth hurt?"

Xiao Jin closed her mouth, shook her little head, and said in a clear voice, "Some people say I'm a brat."

Yun Ziqian let out a helpless chuckle. "Xiao Jin, 'yellow-mouthed child' doesn't mean you're a child with yellow lips."

This idiom is meant to mock your youth and ignorance.

After explaining, Yun Ziqian suddenly paused, realizing what was happening, and his expression became wary: "Who are you talking to?"

Xiao Jin was about to answer when the old village chief interrupted her.

The old village chief looked at Xiao Jin in astonishment, "You child, can you see something?"

These words created an awkward atmosphere.

The old village chief glanced around with a hint of fear in his eyes. Yun Ziqian coughed lightly, "It's still midday, that dirty thing shouldn't show itself."

These words did offer some comfort to the old village chief.

Yun Ziqian crouched down, looked Xiao Jin in the eye, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Xiao Jin leaned close to Yun Ziqian's ear and whispered, "This stone can talk."

Yun Ziqian stared blankly at the black stone. He hesitated, then stood up and kicked it, asking the old village chief:

"When did this stone appear here?"

The old village chief replied, "It's always been here."

"How dare you kick me!" the stone spoke again, sounding angry.

Xiao Jin looked at it curiously, tilted its head, and boldly stepped forward, placing both hands on the black stone.

It roared angrily, "Don't touch me!"

Xiao Jin felt around for a while, then withdrew her hand and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

It didn't answer, but instead warned, "What does this have to do with you, a child? Don't touch me again."

Xiao Jin blinked. "If you don't want to talk to Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin doesn't want to talk to you either."

"Hmph!" She crossed her short arms and arrogantly turned her head to one side.

The stone fell silent.

However, in Yun Ziqian's eyes, this conversation turned into a one-woman show by Xiao Jin, which was really strange.

Suddenly, Yun Ziqian's phone rang; it was the expert he had contacted replying.

The contents on the stone tablet were almost identical to what the old village chief had said.

So, is the tomb at the bottom of the lake the tomb of General Yu Guangwen?

Why is the inscribed stone tablet so far away?

Yun Ziqian couldn't understand, and said hesitantly, "Xiao Jin, it seems to be that General Yu Guangwen."

"Oh," Xiao Jin replied dryly.

As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, the large black stone spoke again, this time in an even worse tone, "Why are you mentioning the general's name?"

Xiao Jin glanced at the big black stone, deliberately not answering.

Before long, Big Black Stone couldn't contain himself any longer. "Boy, tell me, what exactly do you intend to do to the general?"

Xiao Jin said vengefully, "You stinky rock, Xiao Jin is ignoring you."

The big black stone was rendered speechless by Xiao Jin's retort.

Yun Ziqian looked at the old village chief, "Do you have any rumors about General Yu Guangwen's tomb?"

Now we know the owner of the underwater tomb, but we still don't know who sealed him there or how he was sealed.

The old village chief sighed, a hint of regret on his face, and shook his head. "I really don't know."

If they had known, they would have dug up that grave long ago.

"What are you going to do to the general?" Big Black Stone was no longer calm, and his tone sounded somewhat anxious.

As if she had discovered some secret, Xiao Jin crossed her arms and squinted at the large black stone. "Do you know that general?"

As soon as Xiao Jin spoke, she drew the attention of Yun Ziqian and the old village chief.

The old village chief asked anxiously, "Is the child really alright?"

Yun Ziqian touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Xiao Jin continued her conversation with the big black stone.

"What exactly are you here for?" Big Black Stone did not easily reveal his relationship with the general.

Xiao Jin explained, "He was making a scene at the bottom of the lake, so I came over."

"The general is out?" Big Black Stone paused, then his voice suddenly became excited. "The general is out!"

"Oh?" Xiao Jin uttered a single syllable softly.

It seems that this big black rock knows about the general being sealed at the bottom of the lake.

Xiao Jin became more serious. "Of the four doors that were sealing him, one was broken, which is why he could move."

"Great! Great! The general can finally see the light of day again!"

Xiao Jin stared at the large black stone in front of her in astonishment; she could sense the stone's emotions.

If the Black Stone had an expression, it would definitely be crying right now.

Xiao Jin asked疑惑地, "What's your relationship with that general?"

"I am his deputy general," Da Heishi finally revealed his identity. "Boy, since you can hear me, please help the general."

Xiao Jin frowned and said with distress, "I can't help him, he's going to hurt people."

"The general would never harm anyone!" Big Black Stone immediately retorted. "The general dislikes harming innocent civilians the most."

"Then why was he sealed up?" Xiao Jin couldn't understand. If this general wasn't a bad guy, why would they use an array to seal him up, preventing him from ever being reborn?

Big Black Stone gritted his teeth and said, "It's that thief Mao Yun!"

"He killed the general, and now he's tormented by nightmares, fearing the general will become a vengeful ghost and seek revenge. So he hired a sorcerer to suppress the general!"

"I've written it all down."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin quickly asked, "Where did you write it down?"

Big Black Stone: "They're all on that stone tablet."

"There's another part of this stone tablet underground; that part records Mao Yun's evil deeds!"

"I beg you, you must rescue the general."

Xiao Jin walked in surprise to the tall stone tablet, squatted down, and used her little hands to dig at the soil under the tablet.

"Xiao Jin, what are you doing?" Yun Ziqian came over and grabbed Xiao Jin's hand. "Don't play in the dirt, it's dirty."

Xiao Jin's eyes widened, and she pointed, "Half of this stone tablet is still underground!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Yun Ziqian raised his hand and dug twice, and sure enough, he saw the stone tablet under the soil and traces of characters.

He immediately said, "I'll get someone to dig this stone tablet out."

He picked up his phone, intending to ask his assistant to arrange for an excavator or crane to come over, but before he could make the call, he suddenly felt the ground begin to shake violently, as if something was about to break through the soil.

Yun Ziqian froze, subconsciously looked up, and then saw a scene that shocked him greatly.

Xiao Jin stretched out her long and chubby arms and hugged the stone tablet tightly. Her little hands pressed firmly against the surface of the tablet, pulling it outwards like pulling a radish.

And the stone tablet, which was even taller than him, was actually pulled out by Xiao Jin by several meters.

"Ah, ah!" The old village chief was so frightened that he kept backing away, finally collapsing to the ground. He pointed tremblingly at Xiao Jin, "My goodness!"

"How could you move such a big rock, child!"

Xiao Jin gritted her teeth, her face contorted in pain, and drawled, "Xiao... Jin... is... strong...!"

As the sound was heard, Xiao Jin slowly pulled out the stone tablet.

The entire stone tablet was revealed, and then it collapsed to the ground with a loud crash, causing the ground within a radius of several miles to tremble, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The trees shook violently, their leaves falling in a rustling sound, and birds and beasts were startled into flight.

The stone tablet was pulled out, leaving a dark hole in the ground. The soil around the hole began to collapse, and dust flew everywhere.

It took quite a while for the panic to subside.

Yun Ziqian was so shocked that he squatted on the ground and didn't move. The old village chief was even more terrified and sat on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

Xiao Jin, the one who started it all, looked at her masterpiece, clapped her hands, puffed out her little chest with pride, and exclaimed, "Xiao Jin is so amazing!"

As she spoke, she suddenly noticed a section of white bone emerging from the scattered soil.

Xiao Jin paused for a moment, then squatted down and, without any hesitation, began to scrape the dirt away with her hands.

A moment later, a skull was suddenly pulled out of the ground.

"Ah!" The old village chief cried out in shock upon seeing this scene, and before he could catch his breath, he fainted from fright.

Upon seeing this, Yun Ziqian rushed forward in a panic to check on the old village chief. Only when he saw that he still had a heartbeat did he dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jin looked at the skull in her hand, glanced at the stone tablet, and finally turned her gaze to the large black stone that emitted a faint white light.

In an instant, she seemed to understand something, and a hint of sadness appeared in her youthful eyes.

She gently placed the skull back into the soil, looked at the large black rock, and said with a hint of reluctance in her voice:

"Big Rock, are you going to stay here forever?"

"Yes," Big Blackstone agreed readily this time, "I must stay here."

Xiao Jin asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Because I want to guard this stone tablet. I recorded the general's injustice and their evil deeds on this stone tablet. I want to clear the general's name and let everyone who sees the stone tablet know the truth."

The big black stone said with unwavering determination, "That's why I can't let anyone damage this stone tablet."

Xiao Jin gazed at the large black stone, a hint of reluctance appearing in her bright eyes. "So you buried yourself in front of this stone tablet..."

The bones buried underground and the air above the large black stone are the same.

He died in front of the stone tablet. Not only that, but because his obsession was too deep, his soul possessed the black stone and stayed there day and night, year after year, without end.

"You're not supposed to be guarding the stone tablet..." Xiao Jin whispered, "You're supposed to be guarding your general."
