Chapter 163 The tomb was found, but nothing was found.
Lu Shijing took off the cufflinks from his suit sleeve and threw them towards the eyeball, where they landed precisely on it.
Hearing the female ghost's scream, Yun Shu looked in surprise at the cufflink that Lu Shijing had thrown out.
Because Lu Shijing was not a cultivator, he was not supposed to be able to harm the female ghost, but when he flicked the cufflink, it actually carried a malevolent aura.
This malevolent energy could also attack the female ghost; the blood-red malevolent energy surrounded her eyeballs, causing the female ghost to scream in pain.
The female ghost screamed, "I was wrong, I was wrong, handsome, spare my life!"
Lu Shijing glanced at her impatiently, his thin lips slightly parted, "Shut up."
The female ghost quickly shut her mouth.
The car finally quieted down.
Lu Shijing then continued driving, taking Yun Shu to find the Green-Slaying Ghost. Yun Shu observed him for a moment and realized that Lu Shijing seemed unaware that his own malevolent energy could attack others.
Yun Shu tentatively asked, "Lu Shijing, look at that eyeball, besides your cufflinks, what else is there?"
Lu Shijing then took another look at the pair of eyes, but couldn't see anything wrong with them.
"All I have are cufflinks."
"..." Yun Shu's expression was complicated. "Didn't you see a ball of red energy?"
"No."
Yun Shu didn't expect him to be able to use evil energy to attack ghosts, but she couldn't see his own evil energy. Could it be that his behavior just now was a coincidence?
why is that?
Yun Shu suddenly remembered what King Xuan of Zhou had brought about regarding Lu Shijing's fate; things were probably not as simple as she thought.
She stared at Lu Shijing's hair, thinking about when she could secretly pluck a strand. King Xuan of Zhou was still waiting at her house, waiting to take the hair to the King of Hell for fortune-telling.
Led by the female ghost, Lu Shijing drove to a desolate mountain, not far from where they had last encountered the old woman.
The terrain opposite the barren mountain is relatively flat, with some buildings, one of which looks like a shopping mall, but the area is overgrown with weeds and there are hardly any people around.
There weren't many people around, just one highway with cars coming and going. That was the same highway where they had met the old woman that night.
"They've built a shopping mall and apartment buildings over there; they look pretty new, but why is there no one here?"
Yun Shu looked at the area opposite the barren mountain and said.
"They're all unfinished buildings."
Lu Shijing explained, "The feng shui of this place is notoriously bad. Someone originally bought the land across the street, intending to develop a commercial district, but as soon as the building was completed, strange things started happening frequently, many people died, and then the place was abandoned."
"The feng shui is indeed very bad."
Yun Shu observed the terrain of that area and could clearly sense that the magnetic field was abnormal; the plants there were all growing listlessly.
Before long, Yun Shu found the approximate location of the tomb based on feng shui principles.
"It should be there."
Yun Shu led Lu Shijing toward the desolate mountain. The tomb was hidden halfway up the mountain, overlooking the abandoned buildings below.
After searching for a while on the mountain, we found the entrance to the tomb.
The female ghost whispered, "I've led you to this place, please let me go!"
She remained completely silent after that, clearly terrified of Lu Shijing's beating.
She was now pressed against Yun Shu, her eyes darting around, and she dared not look at Lu Shijing again.
"We'll talk about it once we find her."
Yun Shu first put the eyeballs into her bag.
Her gaze swept across the surroundings.
On the hillside in front of us, there was a stone gate covered with moss and weeds.
Not far in front of the stone gate stands a tombstone that is more than two meters high.
The tombstone was exquisitely crafted, with inscriptions on it. There were also many burnt incense sticks and candles in front of it, indicating that someone had come to pay their respects not long ago.
Yun Shu glanced at the inscription on the tombstone and learned that the old woman living there was named Nie Baohua.
She walked to the stone door, gathered her spiritual power in her palm, and struck the stone door with her palm, instantly shattering it into pieces.
Lu Shijing was still looking at the words written on the tombstone when he heard a loud bang.
He turned his head and saw that the half-meter-thick bluestone door had been cracked by Yun Shu with a single palm strike.
With a bang.
Yun Shu struck the stone door again, causing more and more cracks to appear on the stone door, until it finally shattered into many small stones that fell to the ground.
Lu Shijing: "..."
That kind of strength could cripple someone with a single blow, right?
Yun Shu said to Lu Shijing, "Do you want to go in? If you're scared, just wait for me outside."
"Go in."
Lu Shijing went in with her.
Behind the stone gate was a pitch-black passage.
As soon as they went inside, they smelled a stench of rotting corpses. The stench grew stronger and stronger, and the two of them instinctively covered their noses.
After walking for a while, we finally reached the end, where there were some lights. Those lights were an eerie blue-green color and floated in mid-air.
"Will-o'-the-wisp?"
Following the light, Yun Shu could see the situation inside the tomb.
In the center of the open ground stood a coffin, and scattered around it were many fresh bones, surrounded by a ring of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques.
The will-o'-the-wisps in mid-air are caused by the burning of phosphorus on the bones of these corpses after they decompose; this stuff is also called phosphorus fire.
Yun Shu's expression was solemn. "These people haven't been dead for long, but their souls are gone."
Then, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and stepped over the bones to reach the coffin.
Lu Shijing didn't know any light-footed skills, and he didn't want to step on those rotting corpses, so he stood still and waited for her.
Be careful.
Seeing Yun Shu preparing to open the coffin, Lu Shijing's eyes unconsciously revealed worry.
Yun Shu first pasted a talisman on the coffin, and then tried to push the coffin lid with her hand, but she couldn't move it.
The coffin is made of very good material, and the lid is very heavy.
Strangely, even though Yun Shu was so close, she didn't sense any ghostly aura from the coffin.
She frowned slightly and used her spiritual power to push open the coffin lid.
The moment the coffin lid was opened, Yun Shu took out a bunch of talismans to deal with any emergencies, but there was nothing inside the coffin.
Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, "How come there's nothing here? Not even bones!"
“Yun Shu”.
A voice came from Lu Shijing's side, "There's a secret passage here that leads to other places. Could she have already escaped?"
"Possibly."
Yun Shu turned her head and saw that Lu Shijing had touched some mechanism and opened a stone door, which led to a dark passage.
Yun Shu glanced at the empty coffin again. "It seems she ran away with her own remains, because she sensed it when I broke the curse."
As for why they fled with the remains, it's because remains are the weakness of all ghosts and monsters. If someone finds your remains, it's like having your lifeline captured.
"What do we do now?" Lu Shijing asked her, looking at the dark passage. "Should we go in and take a look? Maybe we'll find something else."
"good."
Yun Shu nodded, but then said, "Before you go in, check if any of these things contain any of your family's antiques."
She pointed to the antiques on the ground.
"No."
Lu Shijing didn't know what was inside the gift box before, but after the incident, he asked his assistant for the receipt.
So when he went into the tomb, he looked for things on the ground.
Lu Shijing glanced at the items and said coldly, "Not only are my family's antiques not here, but my stolen clothes are not here either."
Yun Shu: "..."
Why is this guy still so attached to his clothes? He cares about clothes more than antiques!
Yun Shu guessed, "It's probably because your family's antiques were more valuable, and the old woman took them with her. As for your clothes, if she didn't have any particular fetishes, she probably would have thrown them away long ago."
Lu Shijing: "..."
never mind.
It's better to throw it away than for it to be kept by a perverted female ghost!
"Let's go take a look."
Yun Shu was the first to enter the passage.
There were still many antiques inside the tomb, but they didn't take any. Lu Shijing did it because he had plenty of money, while Yun Shu wasn't interested in these things.
As soon as they entered the passage, they heard footsteps and voices coming from the direction of the tomb entrance they had come from earlier.
