Indeed, beyond the cave entrance was a long tomb passage.
“Old Lei, you were right, it really is a tomb. I just wonder whose it is,” Hu Lanlan commented, looking at the smooth walls on both sides.
Lei Yun, who was ahead, turned his head with a smile, looking at Hu Lanlan and saying, “Lanlan, weren’t you calling me Brother Lei before? Why are you suddenly calling me by my full name?”
Hu Lanlan twisted her body, rolled her eyes at him, and lazily said, “Is there any use in calling you Brother Lei?”
Lei Yun chuckled, saying, “Your sudden change is a little unsettling.”
“Unsettling? What’s unsettling about it? You know all about my dark history,” Hu Lanlan couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice.
Lei Yun, who was in front, chuckled softly upon hearing this.
The two walked for about ten minutes in the tomb passage before stopping in front of a large door.
Hu Lanlan stepped forward, glanced at it twice, and slowly said, “Judging from the looks of it, it should have been opened by them with shovels or something.”

Lei Yun stroked his chin and looked up and down, saying, “Indeed. These guys are quite professional.”
“Did you forget? That Scarface was covered in the earthy smell of soil,” Hu Lanlan slowly walked forward, speaking as she went.
Lei Yun hummed in agreement, examining the words under the small door, saying, “Of course you remember, but I didn’t expect these guys to be quite skilled.”
“Lei Yun, come and take a look,” Hu Lanlan suddenly shouted.
Lei Yun stepped back from the tomb entrance, went to Hu Lanlan’s side, and looked up, only to see a series of murals coming into view.
“You know, I’ve lived all these years, and I’ve never been to an ancient tomb before. I didn’t expect to go on an ancient tomb exploration with you today,” Hu Lanlan said with a squint, full of emotion.
Lei Yun looked at the murals and smiled, saying, “No, it is my great fortune that Lei Yun can be accompanied by a clown like Hu Lanlan.”
Hu Lanlan chuckled, amused by his words.
The lights outside the ancient tomb suddenly turned blue. Hu Lanlan quickly turned her head to look, but there was nothing unusual.
“Scared just now!” Lei Yun approached her, looking at her with a smile.
Hu Lanlan glared at him, saying, “Not at all.”
“It turned like this because it encountered air,” Lei Yun continued to look at the murals, holding his chin and slowly saying, “Judging from the scale of the burial in these murals, it should be a prince or duke level.”
He looked back, pointing at one of the murals and saying, “I think this is a welcoming burial scene. The attire of these people doesn’t look like anything you’ve seen in recent years.”
“Could it be before your time?” Hu Lanlan suddenly approached, squinting her eyes and looking at him, asking, “Tell me, Old Lei, how many years have you actually lived?”
“Oh, now I’m Old Lei again?”
Hu Lanlan glared at him, strolling around the tomb chamber.
Lei Yun suddenly chuckled, saying casually, “Actually, you probably don’t even remember how many years you’ve been dead. You were around during the Little Song Dynasty, which is about 1300 years ago from now.”
Hu Lanlan looked back at him slightly, saying, “So you’re that old?”
Lei Yun stepped back, pointed to the tomb chamber behind, and the two of them stepped back together.
“You’re the only one who knows my age; others don’t know.”
Hu Lanlan curled her lips, smiling slightly and saying, “Got it, Old Lei.” Her tone was extremely drawn out, and she blinked her eyes as she looked at Lei Yun.
Lei Yun shook his head helplessly.
Further back was a suspension bridge made of iron chains and wooden planks.
“That group of people is ahead.”
Lei Yun looked back, hurriedly saying, “Let’s not follow too closely.”
“Aren’t you afraid they’ll get there first?” Hu Lanlan teased with a smile.
Lei Yun stroked his chin, looking around at the gloomy cave, at the dilapidated suspension bridge in front of him, and hurriedly said, “The smooth entry we just had into the tomb door was thanks to those few people. Let’s not join in the fun. Let’s just carefully follow behind and see what exactly they are looking for.”
Hu Lanlan suddenly walked to the side and sat down, raising her eyebrows at Lei Yun.
“Then let’s rest here for a while. I’ve been following for so long, my fox legs are sore.”
Lei Yun nodded, sat down beside her, took out two bottles of water and some snacks from his backpack, and handed them to her.
Behind the tomb door, Scarface Qiangzi looked at the small door, frowning and saying, “Uncle, this place is too strange.”
The uncle didn’t speak, but just slightly turned his head to look at the two corpses on the ground, coldly saying, “The people you found are really useless.”
These words made the other two show displeasure, and they frowned.
Scarface Qiangzi coughed twice, saying to the uncle, “Uncle, they are also pretty good craftsmen in the industry.”
The other two, one named Lao Er and the other named Ma San, were both people who had worked together for many years with the two who had died.
Seeing that the two were dead, they also felt a little reluctant. Although most people like them are in it for money, seeing their friends who had cooperated for many years die here, they inevitably felt uncomfortable.
The uncle sensed the resentment of the two and said in a deep voice, “The treasures inside are more than all the tombs we have ever dug. After entering, all the treasures inside belong to us. Qiangzi and I will not take a single thing.”
Lao Er and Ma San showed joy upon hearing these words, completely forgetting how their old friends had died tragically just now.
Lao Er, who was short in stature but a famous mechanical expert in the industry, immediately pulled Ma San to study the tomb door after hearing the uncle’s guarantee.
The tomb door was carved from a complete piece of boulder, and the pillars on both sides were inlaid with many luxurious gemstones.
Lao Er and Ma San wanted to take a few with them, but the uncle coughed twice, dispelling their thoughts.
“There are more good things inside; don’t lose the later wealth for the petty profit in front of you.”
Lao Er smiled sheepishly and nodded to Ma San.
The two came to the stone lions on the side and began to study them. Sure enough, there was something strange in the lion’s mouth.
The previous two people had already tested the mechanisms there for them. The two then twisted the round beads in the lion’s mouth.
With a bang, the door slowly opened to both sides.
A strange wind blew over, and Lao Er, Ma San, and Qiangzi all shuddered.
“Uncle, this place is a bit strange.”
Qiangzi knew the uncle’s abilities, but he was still frightened in this place. The burial pits and mechanisms he had seen along the way were all of a different scale than the tombs he had been to before.
However, the uncle at this time was smiling, looking at the inside of the door with fascination.
