"I'll have to trouble Brother Luo to lead the way."
"Yes."
Luo Chen led everyone down the mountain. After walking for about half an hour, they saw a building in front of them. It was a restaurant made up of many houses.
At this moment, the sky was dark. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The rain gradually became heavier.
Fortunately, everyone had arrived at the building ahead of time and stood under the eaves. It was raining heavily outside, and the thunder was deafening.
"Second Aunt Haozi!"
Luo Chen had come to the museum a few times before and got to know Hao Zi's aunt.
This person had an ugly face, but she was very kind. When she was young, she married a local corpse herder. Once, she fell sick. Her husband went up the mountain to pick herbs for her, but he encountered a disaster and never returned.
After her husband's death, Haozi's second aunt had been guarding this place, guarding the corpse for the locals until now.
"Second Aunt!"
"Is it Little Brother Luo?"
Different from the original work, Haozi's aunt did not die.
Luo Chen had transmigrated a year ago and landed in the Miao village. He had traveled back and forth to Ping Mountain many times to explore the terrain. During this time, he had met Hao Zi's aunt.
Half a year ago, Hao Zi's aunt was seriously ill. Luo Chen went into the city to buy medicine and cured her.
Therefore, every time Luo Chen came to Ping Mountain, he would stay in this inn and sometimes bring some things to Hao Zi's aunt.
One to two, people also become familiar with each other.
"Who are these people?"
Haozi's second aunt was extremely ugly, like a mouse. This made Xie Ling and the others feel a chill run down their spines.
"I'm Chen Yulou. I'm passing by and want to stay the night.”
"It's Brother Luo's friend, so it's this old woman's friend.”
Haozi's second aunt's voice was sinister and sharp, like a mouse squeaking. She held an oil lamp in her hand and called everyone into the house."The front hall is a mortuary. There are coffins here.”
"Thank you."
Chen Yulou gave his thanks and walked into the backyard with Miss Hong, Huamaguai, and Old Crooked Luo.
Kun Lun was arranged by Chen Yulou to call Xie Ling and Old Crooked Luo's soldiers. According to their calculations, they would only arrive tomorrow morning.
"Although Second Aunt is ugly, she's kind-hearted," Luo Chen said."Since ancient times, there have been corpse herders in Xiangxi. Those who died in a foreign land were able to return to their hometown and be buried in peace.”
"Everyone, it's cold. Drink a bowl of ginger tea to warm your bodies.”
Not long after, Haozi's second aunt brought over a pot of ginger tea. Luo Chen took it and poured a bowl.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou smiled slightly and called everyone to start drinking. He even asked Hua Ma to give some silver to Hao Zi's aunt as a reward for staying here.
"Brother Luo is right. This senior has done good deeds and accumulated Yin virtue.”
Chen Yulou said: There are people with distorted faces in the world, and their lives are even more bitter than those who have suffered. Thinking about it, they are also pitiful.”
Although Chen Yulou was a grave robber, he was not greedy for money. He only took the treasures in the tomb to help the common people.
It was the 1920s, and China was suffering from the invasion of foreign enemies. A leader who cared about the people, not to mention anything else, just to protect the peace of Xiang, could be called a hero.
"Always thinking about the world, this Luo admires.”
"But there's a saying that rich men and poor men have it hard. Therefore, in order to reduce the suffering of the common people, we have to quickly take out the treasures underground."”
"What Luo Shuai said is right."
Chen Yulou knew that Old Luo was anxious."With Kun Lun's speed, they should be able to bring him over tomorrow.”
Everyone rested for a while before Haozi's aunt brought over food.
Although the dishes were simple, it was not easy to eat a bowl of hot rice in this desolate wilderness. Everyone did not mind and ate with relish.
At night, everyone was bored and began to share their stories, either their personal experiences or hearsay.
Although Luo Chen had never been to a tomb before, he had heard of some strange creatures he had seen in tomb robbing novels.
The Nine-Headed Snake Cypress, the Dapu Ghost Worm, these strange and legendary creatures, even Xie Ling's people were extremely shocked.
However, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so Luo Chen only said that it was a story he had heard. He couldn't prove whether it was true or not.
"Meow!"
As he was speaking, a yellow-spotted wild cat jumped down from the beam and landed on Chen Yulou's head. He was so shocked that the tea in his hand spilled all over the ground.
"You thieving cat!"
Chen Yulou cared about his reputation. When he was telling the story earlier, he had portrayed himself as a wise and mighty man. Now that he had been stepped on by a wild cat, he immediately became angry."If I don't catch you today, I'll take your surname Cat!”
"Chief!"
"Brother Chen!"
Luo Chen didn't expect the incident in the original novel to happen again.
"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon.”
Chen Yulou moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already followed the wild cat.
Luo Chen knew that it was dangerous in the mountains. He looked at the progress bar. It was only 3% a year, but it had reached 7% in just a short while.
Seeing that the first treasure chest at 15% could be claimed, Luo Chen couldn't give up. He quickly took an iron umbrella from the wooden ox and said,""You guys stay here, I'll bring Brother Chen back.”
"Brother Luo!"
Hua Ma Guai and Hong Xiaoxue were ordered by Chen Yulou and did not dare to go out.
Seeing Luo Chen disappear into the night, the two of them were extremely worried. Only Old Luo didn't care. He lay down on the bamboo chair and fell asleep.
"Brother Chen!"
"Brother Chen!"
The two of them traveled through the wilderness. Chen Yulou stopped when he saw Luo Chen shouting behind him."Brother Luo? Why are you here?"
"Brother Chen, stop chasing," Luo Chen said."The animals in the deep mountains and old forests have been absorbing the medicinal qi around Bottle Mountain all year round and have already become spirits. It's night now and it's even more dangerous.”
Luo Chen chased after Chen Yulou for nearly ten minutes. By then, the sky was completely dark.
Although Luo Chen didn't have Night Eyes, he was connected to the two snakes. They could sense the direction and the surrounding environment, so they could figure out the situation nearby.
Looking at the participation rate, it had increased by another 1% and reached 8%.
After a year of not moving, it increased by 5%.
Luo Chen was delighted, but his expression was solemn.
This wasn't the world of television dramas, and novels were also very one-sided. The real Bottle Mountain was far more dangerous than that. Although the treasure chest was good, one had to be alive to take it.
Luo Chen didn't dare to be careless. Instead, he let Little White and Little Green sense their surroundings carefully, afraid that the tanuki spirit in the original work would appear.
"Detestable thieving cat."
Chen Yulou had been so angry that he had lost his mind. He didn't expect that he would really chase them so far. Now that he had calmed down, he felt that his behavior was really ridiculous.
"Meow!"
Just as they were about to return with Luo Chen, a sharp meow attracted their attention.
"It's that thieving cat."
Chen Yulou was about to step forward when Luo Chen stopped him."Brother Chen, there's something wrong with the sound."
"Hmm?"
Chen Yulou's five senses were extraordinary, and he immediately noticed the problem. He held his breath and focused. He squatted behind the grass with Luo Chen and stuck his head out.
"What's that?"
In front of the two of them, there was a forest of barren tombs. They were faintly flickering with green light, and there were actually clusters of ghost flames floating in the air. They rose and fell, looking extremely sinister.
The wild cat fell to the ground and was shivering. The two of them saw a figure jump out from behind the grave forest and squat beside the wild cat.
"Meow!"
The sharp claw cut open the wild cat's abdomen, and it let out an extremely terrifying scream.
Under the moonlight, the two of them saw a leopard cat eating the flesh of a wild cat. Surprisingly, this leopard cat had a human face.
"Master, there's danger."
Little White, who was in Luo Chen's arms, warned him. He knew that things were not good and quickly held his breath. He looked at Chen Yulou, who was beside him, and his eyes were dull. He could not move, and he seemed to have fallen into the trap of the human-faced tanuki.
