"Huh? Let's go?" Li Lianhua was a little stunned. What did he mean by that?
“This Master Wei has spent his whole life in Puchu Mountain. If he really had the ability to enter this first-class tomb and move the corpses of the Fourteen Thieves of the Yellow Springs out, why would he wait until now? There must be a master behind the case of the seven thieves’ corpses, using the Master Wei to lure people into the tomb. This trip to the first-class tomb is dangerous. You don’t know martial arts yet, so you’d better leave quickly!”
Li Lianhua doesn't know martial arts, even with the miraculous weapon his wife crafted. There's no guarantee something won't go wrong. Besides, if it were just Master Wei, it would be manageable, but they still don't know who's behind it all.
He knew his own skills very well. He could manage on his own, but this way he couldn't protect Li Lianhua.
"Now that I'm here, I'll change back and leave. Besides, you don't think I'm incapable of protecting myself, do you? Actually, I wanted to enter this ancestral grave from the beginning. To be honest, I've had a heart condition since childhood, and I can't sleep or eat well at night."
Her heart was clenched with pain, and only the weeping Guanyin in this grave could heal her. This opportunity had finally come, and she would never give it up. Lying came out of her mouth effortlessly, and Li Lianhua stood there calmly, without batting an eye.
Upon hearing Li Lianhua's words, Fang Duobing immediately understood. All that talk he'd given at the Lotus Pavilion had been a prelude. However, he wasn't one to betray principles for personal gain; Li Lianhua was, in fact, the first person he'd met when he first entered the martial world.
Moreover, he had helped him out, so now that his brother had something important to do, he naturally felt obligated to help.
"This Guanyin's Tears is nothing more than a medicine hidden for a hundred years. What's the point if it can't save people? We've been through thick and thin together, so don't worry! I'll find a way to get this Guanyin's Tears for you." Fang Duobing spoke with great enthusiasm, making Li Lianhua a little embarrassed.
Although he did not have a heart ailment, he was indeed poisoned, but even Guanyin's tears could not cure this poison.
After everyone finished packing, they set off for Yipin Tomb. After walking for a while, Fang Duobing leaned close to Li Lianhua and whispered, "Hey, tell me, what's the background of that kid? The manor lord used poison to control everyone, but he treated him specially and even had him carried up the mountain."
The child had been carried up the whole way. Even a distant relative of Master Wei wouldn't go to such lengths. It's just too suspicious.
"Maybe he'll be difficult to deal with when he grows up," Li Lianhua said, making Fang Duobing roll his eyes. What a ridiculous reason.
Only he could come up with such a lame excuse. "I don't believe it! No way! I have to find a chance to test him."
"Oh! You mustn't go."
"Why?"
Seeing the bewildered look on Shangfang Duibing's face, Li Lianhua swallowed the words that were about to come out. What else could he say? Tell him that this child was Di Feisheng, the great demon of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance? With his skills, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to look at Di Feisheng.
Before he could do anything, everyone in front stopped. Master Wei stepped forward and said, "You all see this, right? This is the First-Class Tomb! It's a pity it was blocked by the Qimen Dunjia technique. Brother Gu, thank you for your help."
Gu Fengxin nodded and stepped forward to observe the surroundings. "This Qimen formation is indeed remarkable. It draws the fog from the entire mountain to conceal the mountain. However, the formation's core seems to have been broken not long ago. Otherwise, even if my master came, he wouldn't have been able to find this place. The mountain wall in front is not naturally formed; it should be a hidden mechanism gate."
Ding Yuanzi's eyes lit up. "This must be the entrance to the First-Class Tomb!"
"Using the mountain as the tomb entrance, the craftsmen of Nanyin spared no expense. Unless they carved their way into the mountain, it would be extremely difficult to open." Qiu Tuo stared, his mouth agape. Only Nanyin could have created such a masterpiece.
"The gap is more than ten feet above the ground. How could anyone get up there?" Zhang Qinghu looked at the gap above. It wasn't far, but getting up there would be extremely difficult.
Master Wei walked respectfully to the young boy, who suddenly leaped up and reached the gap in the air in no time. Everyone was astonished; his lightness skill must be renowned even in the martial arts world.
Master Wei laughed heartily, "Everyone, you've all seen that! Now you know why only my young senior could enter this first-grade tomb, hahahaha!"
Not long after the young boy entered the gap, the tomb door opened, but at the moment it opened, several huge stones rolled out from inside. Everyone was caught off guard, after all, no one would have known that there would be such large stones behind this tomb.
The person who was standing just a second ago was crushed by the boulder and died instantly. Master Wei glanced at him and said, "Duan Hai was unlucky. In our line of work, who hasn't seen dead people? Now that the tomb door is open, let's not waste any more time. Tie Nu, you stay here and keep watch. If any living people come, give the signal, and we'll leave!"
"Hmph~"
"What are you humming about?" Fang Duobing asked Li Lianhua upon hearing the sound.
"It's laughable how unlucky we are, but even more so how cruel is humanity." Before the boulder rolled over, Li Lianhua pulled Fang Duobing to a safe spot, from which they could clearly see everything that had happened.
Zhang Qinghu used his palm force to turn the boulder around, which led to Duan Hai's untimely death. Li Lianhua was right; human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation.
Let's go.
Qiu Tuo was stunned when he saw the decorated tomb chamber. "Even the eternal lamps at the entrance are covered with gold leaf. This first-class tomb is really grand."
"Gentlemen, you won't lose out on this trip. After it's done, you'll never have to do this underground business again for the rest of your lives." Everyone knows about the First-Class Tomb; the gold and silver treasures inside are countless. Just as Master Wei said, it truly is.
After this trip, they can retire from their criminal activities and live off the treasure they've acquired for the rest of their lives.
Qiu Tuo was momentarily stunned by the direction of the tomb chamber. "This...this leads upwards, to the Heavenly Tomb!"
"Hmm~ It really is the Heavenly Tomb. The other tombs are all facing downwards, but the Heavenly Tomb is built against the mountain, with the burial chamber built on the mountaintop, allowing the tomb owner to be exposed to the sunlight. This way of building a tomb serves two purposes: first, it can punish the tomb owner for his disloyalty, and second, this grand mausoleum against the mountain does not lose the majesty of the royal family. The craftsmen of Nanyin have really put a lot of thought into it." Lord Wei looked over after hearing his words, and it was indeed as he said.
"Strange, why is the tomb door open?" It's very strange that the tomb door is open.
As the group entered, Zhang Qinghu rushed towards them, his trembling voice revealing his current emotions, "Father! Father! Father! Father!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone could understand that these were probably the other fourteen thieves from the Yellow Springs.
