Chapter 297 "Grave Robbery 1: The Manor Officials Tricked the Ghost"

When the screams from the back were still ringing, the three people who were accidentally brought together did not bother to continue looking for the truth. They stood up and ran towards the exit.

This escape was much more dangerous than the previous safe entry.

However, it is obvious that the characters of Zhuang Chen and Su Yun have some understanding of this kind of traps, and now there is no longer a large group of ignorant people like before, so this part of the plot is just an action scene that the audience likes to watch, which is exciting enough but there is no need to worry about any accidents in the middle.

In a normal commercial movie, the protagonist must not die before the plot is halfway through!

Su Yun's consistent film style is relatively gentle and without spoilers. Even if there are unexpected twists and turns, they are all unexpected but reasonable. Therefore, many audiences with average psychological endurance like to choose Su Yun's films to watch - because Su Yun's name is a golden signboard guarantee, allowing them to know from the beginning that there will basically be no plots in this movie that will make the audience feel uncomfortable.

If you want to do something "artsy", then go for art films. It doesn't matter how heartbreaking or vicious the plot is, because art films are absolutely tolerant of the plot. On the contrary, if you want to give a family-friendly popcorn commercial film a plot where the protagonist encounters misfortune or simply dies midway, which is disgusting to the audience, then you are just being greedy and wanting money at the same time.

Although there are art films that can make money, there are very few examples of such films that take into account both content and box office. For ordinary people, if they can do well in one aspect, it is already a good movie that people feel is worth the money paid for.

Zhang Wanyu was completely immersed in the thrilling escape plot, and she looked as if anyone who disturbed her would be counterattacked. So Er Dongxing had to secretly make a note of another viewing record of Su Yun's new movie in his heart, and began to carefully analyze the plot rhythm set by Su Yun in the movie.

Obviously, Su Yun sets up the plot segment by segment, alternating between quiet daily scenes and exciting action scenes, allowing the audience to have a sense of relaxation and tension during the viewing process to the greatest extent possible, without being constantly on edge or too bored.

Although the movies he wants to make are more literary and artistic, as long as he doesn't just want to let go of himself without caring about the box office from the beginning, then Su Yun's plot rhythm setting that has been tested by the market is worth learning from.

After making the record, Er Dongxing once again turned his attention back to the front: at this time, the Zhuang brothers and Su Yun's mysterious character were running to the exit of the tomb passage.

It was not until they saw the hazy moonlight in the winter night sky that the three of them, still in shock, gasped and supported each other as they walked towards the forest, towards the abandoned hunter's cabin that Su Yun's character had mentioned.

The three of them lit the remaining candles in the dilapidated cabin, and while eating the dry food they brought with them and drinking water, they began to exchange information with each other.

Su Yun's character calls herself Lin Susu, a disciple of Hong Kong Feng Shui master Lin Jiu. The reason she appears here is that she follows her master to help the big boss from the neighboring village who returns to his hometown to worship his ancestors and to select a site for the new ancestral hall.

As a result, he was kidnapped in the middle of the night when he was half asleep before he finished the work.

After Keith and his men compared her with the picture of the goddess in the secret base and confirmed her identity, she was arranged to be a sacrifice to awaken the "goddess". She was given an anesthetic injection and a nutrient injection and fell into a coma.

When she woke up, she had been taken to a dark and narrow "tunnel".

Not only was she dressed up to look like an ancient person, she was also wrapped in a layer of strange wax-like material, so she couldn't even struggle, let alone make a sound - fortunately, those people probably wanted to use a "living sacrifice", so they left tiny holes for her to breathe, and there were also tiny gaps in her eyes, so she could blink very slowly to protect her eyes.

Although the tomb was illuminated by a night-shining pearl pretending to be a starry sky, she still had no idea how time was passing. She could only rely on her increasingly weak body to feel her life slipping away with time...

Until Keith appeared in the main tomb again with his men.

"The other tomb passage was destroyed by Keith and his men who didn't understand the inner workings of the tomb and accidentally triggered the self-destruct mechanism when they left." Lin Susu, looking pale, sighed, "I originally thought... I would be buried in the ancient tomb. Thank you for saving me."

"To be precise, it was my brother who saved you." Johnny added, "But how did you understand the triggering conditions of those mechanisms and traps?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he received caring looks from Zhuang Chen and Lin Susu.

"The fabric texture on the painting of the Flying Goddess, as well as the arrangement of the text, clouds and dragons, are the key clues to unlocking all the mechanisms of this 'Goddess's Tomb'." Zhuang Chen explained, "These are the traditional Chinese knowledge of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. As a descendant of Feng Shui, Ms. Lin can naturally understand them."

Although the two did not say it explicitly, the meaning of "You, a child who grew up drinking foreign education, don't understand the knowledge passed down by our ancestors" was as clear as it could be.

"No wonder Keith and the others failed!" Johnny was good at self-resolving and immediately gathered a group of people to cushion his failure.

The following plot is almost as the audience expected. After finding a safe farmer's house nearby to stay and recuperate, Zhuang Chen became very interested in Lin Susu, who was very similar to the "Goddess Yun Su", and Lin Susu obviously had a good impression of Zhuang Chen, who saved her life.

Moreover, both of them had studied and researched traditional knowledge, and from time to time they would get together to study the mystery of the "Goddess Flying to the Sky". Johnny always felt like a high-wattage light bulb beside them...

Fortunately, Lin Susu's master Lin Jiu finally rushed here two weeks after receiving the notice: since he found out that his disciple was missing, he had been looking for him everywhere in the nearby villages and towns, and even tried to perform a ritual, but unfortunately there was no news.

After trying every possible means to find no trace of his disciple, Lin Jiu could only continue to expand his search to other places, little did he know that the disciple he was thinking about was actually deep underground.

Transportation in the villages and towns on the mainland is not very convenient now. Even after receiving the message delivered by Lin Susu's magic, it took him a long time to return here.

With Lin Jiu, an "old expert", the three of them were able to decipher the "Goddess Flying in the Sky" much faster. As time passed, they finally deciphered some information about this ancient painting and the ancient tomb.

The legend of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's search for the elixir of life has been passed down in China since ancient times.

Before the alchemist Xu Fu went out to sea to search for immortals, the Qin Emperor had already found a "Clan of Gods" who possessed many mysterious and powerful spells and extremely long lifespans. With the assistance of many capable and extraordinary people under his command, he forcibly intercepted the goddess, the leader of the clan, when the entire clan of gods fled.

Using the captured goddess for research, the group of talented people created some "elixirs of immortality". After trying them on soldiers, they unexpectedly experienced a problem where their physical fitness improved greatly but they also suffered from mental confusion.

Finally, the Qin Emperor ordered this group of talented people to build this "Tomb of the Goddess" together with the farmers and soldiers, and sealed the goddess and the group of mutant soldiers deep underground.

"Keith's company is a well-known pharmaceutical company in the field of medical health. Its main products are drugs for strengthening the body and delaying aging." Lin Susu explained, "We can decipher this information. A rich man like him must be able to find relevant talents who can decipher the information..."

There is no doubt that Keith set his sights on this "Goddess's Tomb" in order to make new drugs to make money and to give his aging self a new life.

"But what are those mutant soldiers now?" Johnny asked a question, "Are they...ghosts?"

"Why are you so obsessed with the 'ghost'?" Lin Susu looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"He has been afraid of ghosts and monsters since he was a child." Zhuang Chen helped to explain: This is also one of the reasons why he didn't want his younger brother to have contact with the Zhuang family.

The Zhuang family has a certain degree of Feng Shui, fortune telling, and divination, and these things are particularly old-fashioned and passed down to sons, not daughters. In order to prevent Johnny from getting in touch with these things, his father and stepmother insisted that they had given birth to a girl. To this day, Johnny's name in the Zhuang family tree is not Johnny but "Jhuang Ni"...

His Chinese name is “莊尼”, which is not only consistent with the phonetic translation, but also takes the meaning of “尼” (Ni) as “to stop, to stop”. It is hoped that he can completely break away from the shackles of the Zhuang family and grow up freely in a foreign country.

"Let's put it this way. You can think of them as a kind of life form that exists in a special form." Lin Susu thought of an explanation. "The 'ghosts' in the legend don't have shadows -" but they are special life forms that have entities and shadows. "

"But they have lost their self-awareness and exist purely to kill and protect."

"Then why do they say ghosts have no shadows? Are there really ghosts in the world?" Johnny asked repeatedly, looking both inexperienced and playful.

"As for this question... there are still many unknown things in the world that cannot be explained by science, and I can't explain it clearly." Lin Susu thought for a moment and replied.

Just when Johnny wanted to continue asking, Lin Jiu suddenly spoke up: "I asked someone to check it out. Keith is not dead. He is now recuperating in a medical institution under his name."

After saying this, Lin Jiu looked at the brothers Zhuang Chen and Zhuang Ni with his eyes, which always looked particularly serious and stern at all times, and said, "For now, we must seize the time and strike first."

In order to find out the truth and guard against Keith's revenge, the four decided to go back to the entrance of the tomb to find out what was going on.

"Because many mechanisms have been triggered before, according to the information on the "Goddess Flying Map", some mechanisms or traps may have changed, so everyone should be careful." As the oldest, most experienced and most knowledgeable elder in the team, Lin Jiu gave the three young people a serious warning.

"We will try our best to be careful." The three nodded in response, and then followed Lin Jiu into the tomb passage one by one.

The passages in the tomb were interconnected in all directions. Suddenly, Lin Susu and Zhuang Chen, who were walking at the back, fell into an unpredictable trap and fell into a cave at the bottom of a slope.

"What happened to you guys?" Lin Jiu and Zhuang Ni's voices immediately came from above, but unfortunately, the entrance was closed and they couldn't come over here.

"I'm fine!" Zhuang Chen responded, then looked down at Lin Susu who fell on him, "Are you okay..."

Their flashlights also fell to the side, but because of their high quality, they still worked diligently, illuminating this small area with their yellowish light.

There is an old saying: Watch the flowers in the mist, look at the moon in the water, and look at the beauty under the lamp.

Accompanied by a close-up from Zhuang Chen's first-person perspective, the moment Lin Susu, played by Su Yun, slowly raises her head, it seems as if she is really covered with a layer of "goddess" filter, so crystal clear and exquisite that makes people's heart beat at first sight.

"I'm fine too..." She lowered her head and moved closer, "I just... got hooked."

The words were about hair, but the listeners seemed to hear something else.

When two extremely good-looking people unexpectedly hug each other, sparks fly. Who can help but say that they are seduced by each other's charm?

Seeing this scene, in addition to the gasps of amazement from the close-ups, there were also some mysterious smiles and tiny screams of joy as if they saw "the CP I'm supporting is about to come true."
