Chapter 116 The Great Tomb in the Mountains, Impersonating a Ghost Messenger

"Son, son."

Seeing that Hu Runnian was about to leave, the old lady reluctantly chased after him and called out, "Son, if the underworld officials are satisfied and send you to be reincarnated, ask them if you can be reincarnated into my womb again?"

Hearing the old lady's words, Hu Runxia looked at her in shock, "Mom, you're almost sixty, you can't have children even if you want to, what are you talking about!"

"Shut up!"

The old lady glared at her without any politeness. "Although I'm sixty, my period still comes on time every month. I can definitely have a baby. Our only son is gone just like that. How can you expect me to accept this!"

Hu Runxia couldn't take it anymore. "You go out to work, but no factory will hire you. You can't earn a single penny now. You still want to have a child. How are you going to support it?"

“There’s still you and Xiao Wu. Besides, your three older sisters are married, but if I give them another brother, they’ll be very happy and will help raise him.”

The old lady then said to Hu Runnian, "Son, remember to tell the underworld officials that our Hu family line cannot end!"

"Okay, you can go now."

Hu Runnian, however, was somewhat impatient.

He glanced at the old woman's wrinkled face, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself that he must be reborn into a wealthy family in his next life.

Hu Runnian blew his whistle and led the brides away from the cemetery.

Yun Shu and Chu Xingnan were at the very back.

Yun Shu glanced coldly at the old woman. "This old woman is obsessed with her son. She dotes on him like a treasure. Her son committed numerous crimes and died, unable to be reincarnated. She deserves a lot of credit for that."

Chu Xingnan snorted coldly, "That old hag has harmed so many people, and she still wants a son? When she dies, I'll throw her into hell so she can experience the pain of childbirth every day, and live like that forever. Let's see if she still wants to have children then."

The two whispered to each other at the back of the line. Yun Shu slightly lifted her veil and glanced at the faces of the old lady of the Hu family and Hu Runxia.

The faces of the two women changed; their life palaces were shrouded in a ghostly aura. This ghostly aura not only suppressed their fortune but also caused them to suffer misfortune, misfortune, and ultimately a violent death.

Yun Shu realized that Chu Xingnan was responsible, which could be considered retribution for the two of them. She then lowered her red veil and continued walking forward with the group.

Hu Runnian's grave is at the foot of the mountain. He led the souls of these girls up the mountain, blowing the white whistle all the while.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Yun Shu spotted a large tomb hidden in the rock wall, with an archway standing not far away.

The carvings on the arch are somewhat blurred and damaged, indicating that it is very old, but three characters can still be vaguely made out on the arch.

"The Underworld Office".

Upon seeing these three words, Yun Shu felt a sense of unease and asked Chu Xingnan directly, "You underworld officials can build mansions in the human world? This mansion looks very luxurious."

"Of course not!"

Chu Xingnan frowned and said, "Underworld messengers are also ghosts. After they die, they live in the underworld, so naturally they build houses there. Unless they were born into a wealthy family and their family built a large tomb for them in the mortal world, underworld messengers cannot return to the mortal world to build a tomb for themselves."

Only vengeful ghosts and demons who don't want to be cast into hell will remain hidden in the human world; some, wanting to enjoy life, will even build themselves a large tomb there.

"It seems that the underworld official that Hu Runnian found was a fake one."

Yun Shu clicked her tongue lightly, "He even built a Underworld Bureau for himself in the mortal realm and found nine wives. That's really too outrageous."

Chu Xingnan chuckled, "I'd like to see what's ruining our reputation!"

After passing through the archway, they arrived in front of the stone wall. They saw a particularly smooth area surrounded by many stone carvings, but due to their age, these carvings were covered with weeds and moss.

And on that smooth stone wall, there were words carved, saying "Tomb of so-and-so".

Looking at the inscription, Yun Shu pondered and said, "This is a tomb built into the mountainside. What a grand gesture! In ancient times, only royalty and nobles received such treatment after their death. At least an underground palace was built inside."

"I don't care if he's a prince or a nobleman, he's all the same in death. If he dares to commit crimes in the mortal world after he's dead, even if he's an ancient emperor, I'll still take him down!"

Chu Xingnan snorted coldly.

This fake underworld official's behavior is a huge slap in the face to them, showing a complete disregard for their status as civil servants of the underworld! This is intolerable!

Chu Xingnan followed Hu Runnian as they floated inside from in front of the tombstone, preparing to deal with the fake underworld official.

Once inside, she discovered that Yun Shu, who was beside her, was gone.

"Huh, where did everyone go?"

Chu Xingnan searched the passage but couldn't find Yun Shu, so she came out of the tomb.

Yun Shu stood in front of the tombstone, having already torn off her red veil. A head popped out from the stone wall in front of her and asked, "Why don't you come in? Come in quickly and help me deal with that bastard. I'll go back and report it to Cui Yu so he can record your merits!"

The head that popped out was Chu Xingnan's.

Yun Shu's lips twitched. "Have you forgotten that I'm not a ghost? I can't walk through walls."

"That's right."

Chu Xingnan then realized what was happening and immediately crawled her entire body out of the stone wall.

Yun Shu stood in front of the stone wall, reached out and tapped it, and found that the stone wall was still very hard, and she would need to use spiritual power to break it.

Just as she was about to make her move, Chu Xingnan's voice came, "Get in the car, get in the car, I'll take you inside."

A flashy sports car appeared in front of the tomb entrance and crashed directly into the stone wall, exuding ghostly energy and creating a large hole with a loud bang.

Yun Shu: "..."

She saw that the passage in the tomb was very long, and the other brides and Hu Runnian had disappeared. Yun Shu quickly jumped into Chu Xingnan's car.

This sports car was burned for the dead; in principle, living people shouldn't ride in it.

However, since the sports car was made by Yun Shu, only she, as a living person, can sit in Chu Xingnan's sports car. Chu Xingnan's younger brother, Chu Xingchen, cannot sit in it even if he wants to.

The roar of the motor continued.

The sports car drove into the cemetery passageway and transformed into a streak of silver light, moving at extremely high speeds and crashing wildly.

These ancient tombs would typically have certain defensive mechanisms in place to prevent tomb raiders from robbing them.

This long passage was originally designed as a maze, but Chu Xingnan, driving a sports car, completely ignored it, smashing any walls that blocked his way to the ground. He quickly brought Yun Shu to the deepest part of the tomb, near the main burial chamber where the tomb's owner was buried.

The sports car was parked at the corner of the passageway.

Yun Shu concealed her presence, got out of the car to check the situation, and saw that the main tomb chamber of the underground palace not far away was built like an ancient house. The stone chamber had windows and doors. Through the windows, she could see that the tomb chamber was filled with exquisitely carved wooden furniture and festive red silk was hanging.

Hu Runnian had already arrived with the brides, whose spirits floated outside the main tomb, standing in a neat row.

Hu Runnian bowed respectfully and said to the person inside, "Sir, I have gathered all the people you requested. Please come out and take a look!"

"Okay, okay!"

A burst of laughter echoed from the main burial chamber. "Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to find me nine brides so quickly! Today is an auspicious day, let's prepare for the wedding immediately!"

As the words fell, a strange black mist seeped out from the windows and cracks in the doors of the main burial chamber.

In the passageway outside the main tomb, many transparent phantoms appeared, dressed in ancient robes, looking like the funerary ghosts in the tomb.

The main tomb chamber door opened, and a dark figure emerged, dressed in a Qing Dynasty official robe. He was thin, with sunken cheeks and sinister eyes, his gaze constantly shifting between the brides.

Suddenly, his expression turned cold. "How come there are only seven? Weren't you told there would be nine?"

"Oh? There are nine. I've counted them all."

Hu Runnian was taken aback. He counted again and realized that he had brought two fewer brides than he had.

His expression turned flustered. "No, there are two missing! There are definitely nine! Two are late, but there are indeed nine!"

"Idiot! You've been tricked!"

The official in the robe shouted angrily, his gaze turning colder as he looked at where Yun Shu and Chu Xingnan were hiding. "I can smell the scent of living people."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the two rows of ghosts standing nearby suddenly looked towards the corner of the passage where Yun Shu was hiding, and surrounded her.
