Chapter 111
They will become enemies in the end anyway, so what’s the point of having a favorability mechanism?
The system didn't respond.
Xue Lang thought he had won the argument, so he looked at Xue Shun and said in a friendly manner, "Okay, since you want to find me, I'll go with you. You're looking for the maid named Shen Jiao, right?"
He had been silent for too long, and now he suddenly spoke up. Xue Shun didn't dare to believe him easily, but he still nodded: "It's her."
"You like her." Xue Lang's tone did not sound like a question.
Xue Shun said against his will: "No."
"Come on, I'm not blind. If I like her, then I like her. What's the big deal? Tell me how much you like her. If I ask you to give her the most important thing in your life, would you be happy?"
Xue Shun's heart sank, he clenched his fist and said:
"I, I do."
"Hahaha, are you serious?" Xue Lang laughed. Without waiting for his reply, he continued, "Look at your fearless look. I'm just joking with you. What are you afraid of? Let's go and find her."
Xue Lang pulled Xue Shun deeper into the tomb.
He already had some guesses about this place, but he didn't know if they were accurate, so he had to wait and see.
But if his guess was correct, this must be the coffin-pressing tomb that the old man and the old witch had talked about.
This is a great place.
They said that an ancestor of the Xue family had done something sinful in order to fight for the destiny. He chose a Feng Shui treasure land and buried sixteen direct descendants from wealthy and prestigious families who were also extremely talented. He also used a demon king as a sealing beast to guard the tomb door so that their souls could not escape.
At that time, they wanted to set up a formation of two dragons fighting for a pearl, with them as the dragon pearl, and then move the Xue family's ancestral tomb to a mountain where they believed there was a hidden dragon vein, so that they could compete with the real dragon vein from a distance.
In order to avoid suspicion, a big drama was staged.
But for some reason it didn't work.
The task of seizing power was not smooth either.
The head of the Xue family was greatly disappointed, and his son really died, so he simply destroyed the dragon vein that was destined to fail, and directly pressed his son's tomb on the coffins of the sixteen people.
He wanted the Xue family to always be superior to those families and continuously absorb their luck.
When the old man became the head of a family, he learned of this secret and felt guilty, so he searched everywhere for the descendants of these people, and thus made sixteen brothers.
But these people left him one by one, and the cause of their death was more or less related to him. Their families were not doing well either. He suspected that it was because of the coffin-pressing tomb, so he had been investigating secretly, trying to find the place and destroy the formation, but he could not find any trace.
Who would have thought this was right under our noses.
This is like searching for a needle in a haystack, but it turns out to be something you have never found before.
If the dragon vein could be restored and used for his own benefit...
Xue Lang would wake up laughing even in his dreams.
What I am afraid of is the red-haired rat demon whose strength is unpredictable. If it is the demon king who was sealed in the tomb, then it is probably an enemy rather than a friend.
But it never hurt them.
It might also be related to Xue Shun's chance...
Xue Lang thought about it again and again but couldn't figure it out. He could only take it one step at a time and go to the main tomb chamber to confirm the identity of the tomb owner first.
By the way, what was his name?
It seems to be——Xue Zhuoyu!
…
"No, absolutely not."
Wei Qian, who met Shen Jiao, waved his hand. The two looked at Feng Sha'e, Yu Nu, Ling Nu and other guards and maids, and shook their heads.
Fengsha'e said, "I think I've heard it somewhere before, but I can't remember exactly."
Ling Nu was like a firecracker: "What's the use of knowing this? Not to mention that the people who lived in the tomb were not my ancestors, even if they were really the ancestors of the Xue family, they were not my masters. I don't want to be buried with them and end up like them!"
She pointed to the underground river, and a pile of skeletons floated by in due course.
Those were the craftsmen who had failed to escape and the bodies in the tomb whose surnames were not Xue at all.
Shen Jiao tried to figure out what was going on.
But they were getting more and more confused. There was only one thing that was clear: this damn place had been tampered with. There was no way they could get out. Even if they walked along the river, they would end up back where they started.
Fengsha'e, who had the highest cultivation, smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't been injured, I might have been able to try and forcefully break the formation, but now I'm powerless..."
What else can I say about incompetence?
Shen Jiao: "Then there is only one way left."
Everyone looked at her: "What's the solution?"
Shen Jiao spread his hands and said, "Let's dig. We all have cultivation skills, so we will definitely dig faster than them. Besides, Doctor Wei has some elixirs to eat, so we won't starve to death for a while. If we're lucky, we will definitely get out alive. If we're unlucky, don't worry, there are ready-made coffins here, just right for a long rest."
"Go ahead and sleep if you want," Ling Nu said unhappily, "I must get out."
Shen Jiao was alone and weak, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her. He silently made a note and looked at other people.
There was no other way, so they naturally agreed.
Yu Nu said, "If we want to dig, don't dig here. We don't know the thickness of the mountain. It's better to go to the exit. We can get out by clearing away the rocks."
The craftsmen did not do so, firstly because they were afraid of being discovered by the tomb guards, and secondly because the place where the explosion had just occurred was too dangerous for them, and no one knew whether they would encounter a second explosion.
These two points are not a concern for Shen Jiao and others.
So the group went back into the tomb.
Shen Jiao was really afraid that these people would discover the bodies of the guards, but no one cared at all. No one planned to go to other tombs to take a look, and they all wanted to get out.
At this moment, Shen Jiao really felt that he was like a bodhisattva for having the courage to open the coffin and save people. If those two people had not been so ungrateful, he would be alive now and could have contributed more strength.
What a pity.
She complained a few words in her heart, but she didn't dare to cheat while working.
Not only her, but everyone who wanted to survive was desperately moving and smashing things.
There is absolutely no such thing as not wanting to live.
Even the weak doctor Wei Qian got involved... It would be better not to do it.
Ling Nu kicked him and shouted angrily, "Get out of my way! If you get in the way again, I'll beat you to death!"
Yu Nu took a break from her busy schedule and said, "Don't offend the doctor."
"Alright," Ling Nu grinned at him with a twisted face, "Please get out of the way, or I'll have to send you off to have tea with the King of Hell!"
Wei Qian: ...Is that a smile? How scary...
He crawled away in silence.
Sneaking up to Shen Jiao, he said, "I think you're much better than her."
Shen Jiao:?
Wei Qian: "Really? She's murderous and laughs like a monster. She can't even pretend. She's so scary. But you're different. You're so good at pretending. You can laugh so calmly even when the evil is oozing out water and the evil is bleeding pus. You must be crazy."
Shen Jiao: ...
"I don't know what you're talking about. Doctor Wei, are you tired and confused? Do you want to lie down under a rock and rest for a while?"
