This Old Bear Ridge is located in a remote area.
It's quite a distance from the nearby villages.
They spent some time gathering information in the mountain fortress.
They walked towards Old Bear Ridge.
Looking up, they saw that there was no light from the stars or moon, and the wind was swirling in the mountains. It looked like it would rain heavily.
When they arrived at the place.
Looking from afar, they saw that this burial ground was quite large.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that the burial ground was converted from a mountain god temple.
This mountain god temple was quite large, with three courtyards.
However, it was in a state of disrepair.
The gable roof of the main hall had collapsed by half.
The roof tiles were covered in weeds.
Under the cold moon and stars, a group of bats circled in mid-air.
The painted wooden door creaked as it was blown by the mountain wind.
Although everyone was brave.
Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
They pushed open the door and entered.
They saw that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the shadows of the weeds danced.
As the mountain wind blew through, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
Chen Yu Lou had already inquired about this place beforehand.
He knew that there used to be a corpse keeper here, a middle-aged woman.
She had fallen ill some time ago, and the place was now uninhabited.
It was perfect for them to use as a temporary residence.
However, he had been traveling the world for many years, and had walked through countless underground paths.
He had long developed the habit of preparing a way out in advance.
Although this burial ground was remote.
And there were definitely no bandits who would dare to travel alone on this mountain path at night.
But he knew that the dangers here were not just from humans.
The countless perils encountered in the tomb were still vivid in his mind.
Therefore, despite being tired from a day's travel and a night's journey, he did not rest immediately.
Instead, he first explored the entire burial ground.
He cleared a way out, so that if they encountered any trouble, they would be prepared.
This group of people.
Each had their own skills.
Some had guns, others had knives.
And they were all skilled warriors.
They weren't afraid of ordinary things.
But if they encountered zombies attacking, or corpses suddenly rising, they would be afraid.
After exploring.
Chen Yu Lou led everyone into the main hall.
This room was originally the main hall.
It was quite large.
When they pushed open the door, they saw seven or eight coffins inside.
These coffins were the "beds" for storing the dead.
Over the past few decades, they had held countless corpses.
It was because the Han and barbarian burial customs were different.
At that time, cremation was not popular.
But this Xiang Yin area was full of miasma and poisonous insects.
Moreover, because the climate was humid and hot, many Han people, or merchants, who came to this place could not withstand the climate and fell ill.
People at that time, after death, were accustomed to having their souls return to their hometown.
To die in this place, that was to die away from home.
Therefore, this burial ground was built.
When people died, they were temporarily placed here.
Every half a month, a corpse carrier would be hired to carry the bodies away.
Because the mountains were high and the forests dense, and the journey difficult, it took a professional corpse carrier to do it.
First, there were very few corpse carriers.
Second, this place was in the deep mountains and old forests, and the journey was difficult.
Therefore, it took so much time.
These coffins were used for the temporary storage of corpses.
In front of each coffin, there was also the identity and name of the corpse inside.
Since ancient times, this place of the dead.
Was also a place where yin energy gathered.
With too much yin energy, strange things would happen.
Just like the temperature in this room, it seemed to be a few degrees lower than outside.
Whether it was true, or just the result of their imaginations.
Chen Yu Lou, a man of great wisdom.
Seeing the strange things in this place.
He pondered for a moment and drew a short sword from his waist.
This treasured sword was called "Little Divine Edge".
It was the imperial sword used by the Emperor.
He had carried it with him since childhood.
Legend had it that it was accompanied by dragon energy and had mystical powers.
He drew the short sword.
He saw that the blade was shimmering with light, and he knew that the burial ground was not clean.
It was either ghosts or demons.
He then gave a few instructions to the others, saying, "To prevent the corpses in the coffins from changing, we need to make some preparations before we rest!"
Hua Ma Gui, Red Girl, and the others nodded.
They all opened their packages and took out the ankle restraints.
These ropes were soaked in cinnabar, not only for their ability to ward off evil spirits.
But also because they were extremely tough.
If the corpses in the coffins turned into zombies.
Because their bodies could not bend, they could be bound by the ropes, preventing them from climbing out of the coffins and attacking.
Zhang Chen, although he knew the plot.
But being there, he felt different.
And.
In this world of tomb robbery, there were many strange things and strange objects.
These strange and eerie events.
Although he now possessed several supernatural skills.
He still couldn't be careless.
Moreover, the taboos of the tomb.
He knew nothing about them.
Naturally, he wouldn't question it at this moment.
He, along with Red Girl, took out the ankle restraints.
Then they lifted the lids of the coffins.
They tied the ropes and then closed the coffins.
After they were done, everyone left the main hall.
They returned to the dilapidated courtyard.
They saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Even darker than before.
It seemed the rain would be here soon.
It was already late at night.
It was not good to go down the mountain at this time.
They would wait until tomorrow morning before moving.
Moreover.
Chen Yu Lou's "Wang" technique involved observing mud prints and identifying grass colors.
After the heavy rain, the rainwater would wash away everything, which would be perfect for identification.
So after some discussion, they decided to spend the night at the burial ground.
Everyone had their own skills.
They all had deadly weapons.
A small burial ground, they were not afraid.
After walking around the burial ground twice.
The houses they saw were either half-collapsed and uninhabitable.
Or they were filled with filth and had a foul odor.
Only one house at the back gate was intact.
It was the residence of the burial ground's corpse keeper.
Luo Lao Wai had a quick temper, and was a warlord in the Three Xiang area, known as Luo Shuai.
Today, he had been traveling and gathering information.
He was already exhausted.
Now that he saw a place to stay.
He kicked open the door.
And went in first.
Behind him, Zhang Chen did not hesitate.
But he knew what was inside, and there was a certain amount of hesitation.
"What's wrong?"
Red Girl saw him stop and asked.
"Nothing!"
Zhang Chen shook his head.
Red Girl, although she had a fiery temper, was clear-cut in her grievances and a person of strong temperament.
But she was quick-witted and intelligent.
Plus, her whole heart was on him.
She was paying close attention to his every move on this trip.
She sighed, "We who go into tombs and loot, have to eat this kind of hardship. This is still a burial ground, if we go underground, we might encounter all sorts of strange corpses. Even if corpses really chase after living people, it wouldn't be strange!"
Zhang Chen couldn't help but look at her.
Red Girl knew the hardships of this trip, of course.
She thought he couldn't bear the hardships.
She advised, "Just think, when we succeed and get the treasure, we can spend our days in luxury. What's a little hardship compared to that? It's better than those poor bastards working their butts off all day for just a few coins!"
Her words of encouragement.
Made Zhang Chen want to laugh.
He couldn't help but say, "Spend our days in luxury? I have no problem with luxury, but I don't want to spend it on you, I want to spend it on you!"
Red Girl's face flushed red immediately.
She couldn't help but glare at him and chided, "You're always saying you're smooth-talking, and you're not wrong!"
