Chapter 359 The First-Class Tomb
"elder brother--"
In the dead of night, a roar startled everyone.
Everyone came out of their rooms and rushed to the residence of the Lion and Tiger Duo, only to find that Zhang Qingshi was dead and his head was missing, just like the seven headless corpses that had died in Pu Chushan.
"Time to investigate the case."
"Senior brother, what are you saying?"
Li Xiangyi curiously leaned closer, but Lan Yan shook his head and turned to him with a smile: "Junior brother, it's time for you to take action. I believe that with your combined efforts with Duobing and Huahua, you will definitely be able to find out the truth very quickly."
"Leave it to me."
Li Xiangyi was blinded by his senior brother's trust and immediately agreed to the task, taking the initiative to find Fang Duobing. Fang Duobing regarded his "righteous" appearance as a confidant and enthusiastically led him to investigate the case, not forgetting to bring along his external brain, Li Lianhua.
"Actually, it's enough for just the two of you to go."
"Li Lianhua, as a senior, you should set a good example for Mu Zi!"
"That's right!"
Fang Duobing spoke with righteous indignation, and Li Xiangyi, who was using the alias "Lanmuzi," also stood up straight, determined to drag Li Lianhua into the matter.
Li Lianhua looked at Lan Yan and Di Feisheng, and said, "Good, good, good, they're all just spectators. Only he's destined to be a busybody!"
Why does it feel like I'm taking care of a child?
Li Lianhua shook her head, not wanting to get entangled with the two of them any further, and could only agree.
Even three cobblers with their mediocre skills can outwit Zhuge Liang, not to mention these three are not even cobblers.
Therefore, the truth was discovered before dawn.
The next day, when everyone gathered, the three of them, one sentence at a time, tacitly revealed the truth in front of everyone.
The murderer was Gu Fengxin, who was skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and he did this to avenge his cousin Yu Wanwan.
Once exposed, Gu Fengxin readily admitted it and began fighting with Zhang Qinghu.
At this moment, Master Wei arrived and stopped everyone.
"I've gathered you all here to enter the First-Class Tomb. After it's done, you can kill me however you like."
Seeing how defiant Master Wei was, Zhang Qinghu pointed at him and asked, "Hey, Wei, what's wrong with you today?"
"What I just said was for everyone to hear. You will all obey my orders and enter the First-Class Tomb, or don't even think about leaving this Puchu Mountain safely."
"With just your few servants?"
Someone retorted dismissively, but Master Wei sneered, "Servants are naturally out of the question, but Ghost Cry Soup will do. Gentlemen, did you enjoy your drinks last night?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Fang Duobing couldn't help but lean close to Li Xiangyi's ear and whisper, "Does your brother's medicine really work?"
"Don't worry, even the Ghost Laughing Soup won't work."
Fang Duobing breathed a sigh of relief, and when the others were poisoned, the others also pretended to be poisoned. Fang Duobing and Li Xiangyi's acting was so exaggerated that Li Lianhua couldn't bear to watch.
Turning her head to look at Lan Yan and Di Feisheng, who were practically pretending to be something they weren't, Li Lianhua couldn't bear to look anymore.
Two were overly exaggerated, two barely acted, and looking at the smug Master Wei, Li Lianhua was speechless. With that look in his eyes, he still wanted to threaten people. I wish him success in his next life.
Soon, under coercion from Master Wei, the group selected suitable tools and headed into the mountains. They soon found their destination.
"The gate in front is not naturally formed; it must be a hidden, mechanical gate, and it must be the entrance to the First-Class Tomb."
Looking at the towering mountain walls in front of them, everyone felt a bit awkward.
"There is a gap there. If we can get in, we might be able to open the mechanism door from the inside."
"The gap is more than ten feet above the ground; how could anyone possibly climb up there?"
This was indeed a problem, and when it was raised, everyone fell silent.
Master Wei glanced around at everyone and walked up to Li Lianhua. "Senior Su Shou Shusheng, you must have considerable backing to bring so many people with you. Could you perhaps resolve the current problem?"
"Serves you right for pretending to be something you're not," Fang Duobing muttered to Li Lianhua as he moved closer. "Now look what's happened, what are we going to do?"
At this moment, Li Xiangyi stepped forward, playing his flute, and said, "Old Flute, shall we have a contest?"
Di Feisheng nodded: "Compare."
"Why……"
Fang Duobing was unable to stop them in time. He saw two figures, one in red and one in black, ascend the mountain wall in a flash, as if walking on flat ground.
"Is it that strong?"
Fang Duobing was shocked, and Li Lianhua smiled at him, saying, "It's because you're too weak."
"You, a person who can't even kill a chicken, are saying I'm weak?" Fang Duobing pointed to himself incredulously. Li Lianhua ignored him and just watched the two figures climbing up.
The two arrived at the gap almost simultaneously, their figures disappearing into the depths of the mountain wall.
Soon, the mountain shook, rocks tumbled down, and after the dust settled, a magnificent gate appeared before everyone's eyes.
Before anyone could react, the gate suddenly opened, and countless boulders rushed straight at them.
Lan Yan reached out and led Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing to the side in time, without suffering any losses, but the others were badly injured.
Just as the boulder was about to smash into Duan Hai, Li Xiangyi leaped down, his inkless fan flashing up and down, his powerful internal force shattering the boulder into pieces, allowing Duan Hai to escape by sheer luck.
Thank you.
Duan Hai, who had only suffered minor injuries, thanked Li Xiangyi. Li Xiangyi put away his fan and waved his hand, saying, "No need to thank me."
Fang Duobing curiously leaned closer, looked behind him, and asked, "Where's Lao Di?"
Under the double deception of Li Lianhua and Li Xiangyi, Fang Duobing always believed that Di Feisheng's surname was Lao and his given name was Di.
"Oh, she lost to me and is crying up there."
"Huh? That can't be right?"
Fang Duobing looked shocked, while Li Xiangyi continued to spread rumors with a natural expression: "You know, Lao Di only looks cold, but he's actually very thin-skinned. Don't expose him when you see him later."
"Oh, I definitely won't."
Seeing Fang Duobing being tricked into going in again, Li Lianhua smiled silently, truly happy for Di Feisheng...
...
The group entered the gate, and despite Li Xiangyi and Fang Duobing's willingness to help, they still suffered heavy losses. Blinded by the treasure, the group was unwilling to leave, and eventually, Li Xiangyi stopped trying to persuade them.
Finally arriving at the depths of the tomb, while Master Wei and the others greedily picked up the gold and silver on the ground, Di Feisheng looked at the coffin on the high platform in front of him.
"The tears of Guanyin are right there."
Having said that, ignoring Fang Duobing's strange look, Di Feisheng prepared to use his internal energy to open the coffin.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
The entire tomb began to tremble, and an invisible force appeared in mid-air.
"This is?"
Li Xiangyi's hair stood on end instantly, and he subconsciously grabbed Lan Yan's arm. "It's that feeling from before."
Li Lianhua turned around and looked at him in surprise. Li Xiangyi met his gaze with a serious expression: "That's right, that's how we got here before."
"What……"
Fang Duobing was completely bewildered. Before he could ask any questions, Di Feisheng suddenly took a few steps back and stood beside them, saying in a deep voice, "Look quickly."
Following the sound, the group moved forward and were horrified to discover that the space ahead seemed like a torn scroll, displaying a mirrored scene of the First-Class Tomb. But it wasn't their reflection; it was another group of people.
"elder brother?"
