Since that's the case, Yan Qing had nothing more to say. Why would she discuss their family's internal conflicts with an outsider like her?
For now, it's best to take it one step at a time. She also noticed that while she was talking to Sun Gui, those two had been eavesdropping quite a bit. After all, nobody wants to make a wasted trip.
Yue Qi, always straightforward, asked him directly, "Then, will there be any changes to what you promised us?"
"No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible!" Sun Gui waved his hands repeatedly. "Since I dared to invite you here, I naturally prepared the necessary items long ago. As agreed, as long as you help us break through the formation, I will offer you the Five Elements Yuan Pill on the spot!"
"Okay, it's a deal." Yue Qi was satisfied, and the other two also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that a consensus had been reached, Sun Gui thought it best to set off as soon as possible, as getting there early would definitely be advantageous for him. No one objected to this.
Next up is the time for the rich to show off. Due to the arrival of the post-apocalyptic rules and strange tales, going out is like stepping into a dungeon trap at every turn, making it particularly difficult for everyone to travel.
However, none of this was a problem for Sun Gui. He simply bought a safety helicopter, which effortlessly transported everyone safely to the remote mountains of Guizhou.
After all this, everyone seemed even more wary of Sun Gui. He's a man of few words, truly unassuming!
The helicopter landed in a small plaza that had been cleared out beforehand. Opposite the plaza was a low hill nestled among the surrounding peaks.
From afar, Yan Qing could already see a very simple entrance that had been cleared out by hand at the foot of the small hill.
At the entrance stood an ancient stone tablet, looking dilapidated, with faded and illegible characters that Yan Qing couldn't decipher at all.
At that moment, Yue Qi's voice came from behind, "Those who enter my gate shall be cut off from all my households! These are the words carved on the stone tablet."
"What do you mean?" Although Yan Qing didn't understand classical Chinese, she could tell that the tomb owner definitely didn't have good intentions.
"It means that anyone who enters my tomb will be childless and their entire family will die out."
How ruthless! The entire family is wiped out—not just one person's name on the household register, but the entire family tree is erased. This shows just how much the tomb owner hated tomb raiders.
Perhaps Yan Qing's worries were too obvious, so Yue Qi patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"It's alright. As long as you wear the silver necklace I gave you, you won't be cursed. And—"
Yue Qi looked in Sun Gui's direction with an inscrutable expression. Sun Gui was busy arranging for people to unload various tools.
"Don't worry, even if there was some kind of curse, it has already been applied to someone else. We just need to be careful, and nothing serious will happen."
"I hope so," Yan Qing prayed sincerely.
Yue Qi pulled her along, and the two found a sunny spot to sit, quietly watching Sun Gui and the servants bustling about.
Yan Qing was feeling utterly bored when the voice of the Netherworld Brocade Fox suddenly echoed in her mind.
"Master, this tomb is extremely ominous!"
"Oh, what do you mean?" Yan Qing was reminded twice, and even though she didn't know anything about tombs, she felt that something was wrong.
"We do not yet know what is inside, but just by looking at the feng shui outside, we can tell that this is not a good auspicious site. In fact, the opposite is true, master. The feng shui here is a formation of dragon and tiger hills."
"Dragon and Tiger on a Hill?" This sounds rather auspicious, doesn't it? Yan Qing murmured to herself unconsciously, which Yue Qi overheard.
Yue Qi's face turned ashen; clearly, he knew the meaning of "Dragon and Tiger Forming a Ridge." "I knew it! That's why I always felt uneasy when I arrived here. It turns out it's this ominous spot!"
Seeing Yan Qing's bewildered expression, he patiently explained it to her.
In layman's terms, a place where dragons and tigers form ridges means that dragons and tigers are perched on both sides of the tomb, forming a large ridge.
The small hill here is nestled between two tall, old mountain peaks. Just imagine, how could there be a burial site on the other side of the old mountain? Therefore, such a place must have lingering evil spirits and heavy yin energy. After burial, the family will surely be ruined and the descendants will die tragically.
Yan Qing couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. This was no ordinary tomb of a king; it was worse than cursing someone to die!
She simply couldn't fathom who could harbor such a deep grudge against this King Jinzhu Yelang, not only to ensure his unrest after death but also to force his descendants to be buried with him.
But then she thought about it again and realized that the ancients were probably just trying to scare people. After all, weren't the descendants of the King of Yelang still living well?
And then there's the curse on the stone tablet; there's almost always one in a large tomb. Its purpose is similar to the warnings we're issuing today—to deter so-called tomb raiders.
She glanced at Sun Gui. The Sun family had been making a living by tomb raiding since ancient times, and they hadn't been in any trouble.
Having figured this out, she felt much more relaxed.
In contrast to her, Yue Qi looked even more serious, his brows almost furrowed into a tight knot.
As for the other two, the hot-tempered monk Yuanhui went to find a place to meditate, while the handsome-looking Mu Xiao kept tidying his clothes.
This is Hanfu, it's very expensive. The mountains were covered in dust; I wonder if he regretted making the trip.
Sun Gui had just finished arranging for people to unload the goods when he gave each person an AK-47, saying it was for self-defense.
In addition, each of them received a backpack containing the tomb-raiding tools prepared by Sun Gui, as well as some food and water. In short, the main focus was on thoughtfulness.
Yue Qi put the backpack directly into his spatial box, and Yan Qing naturally followed suit. After all, it belonged to someone else, and it couldn't be as useful as her own.
"Haha, Yue Qi, you're as cautious as ever!" Sun Gui laughed. "Don't worry, they're just standard-issue tools, just in case—I really don't mean any harm."
The other two seemed to trust him more, and both immediately carried him on their backs. Just as the group was ready, the sound of a helicopter landing came from the horizon once again.
Sun Gui's eyes lit up. "It's my older brother and the others!"
The helicopter landed slowly, and a team of fully armed personnel disembarked.
Yan Qing counted them; there were more of them, a total of seven.
Leading the group was a handsome, sunny man who seemed approachable and harmless. Unfortunately, he had a cool and aloof young woman on his arm.
Hehe, Yan Qing immediately laughed.
Wen Jiajia, we meet again!
