Sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, Lei Yun slowly opened them. Hu Lanlan, who was beside him, also looked at him, and they both turned their gazes towards the rope bridge.
“That aura has appeared.”
Lei Yun got up and pulled Hu Lanlan, saying, “Let’s go.”
The wooden planks of the rope bridge were old and fragile, made even more dangerous by the chaotic footsteps of the group ahead.
Lei Yun carefully led Hu Lanlan across, but Hu Lanlan had a smile on her face.
“What are you so happy about?”
Hu Lanlan looked at Lei Yun with a smile in her eyes and slowly said, “We’ve known each other for so many years, but you’ve never been this close to me before.”
Lei Yun was speechless. He chuckled and continued forward.
“Why aren’t you talking?”

Lei Yun was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued walking straight ahead.
“Hey, I’m a fox, are you worried I’ll fall down?” After saying that, she stretched her head out to look at the bottomless cliff below.
Lei Yun turned his head and took a look, then quickly released Hu Lanlan’s hand and slowly walked backward.
Hu Lanlan was slowly left behind, anxiously saying, “Lei Yun, slow down, I can’t catch up.”
For some reason, Lei Yun was right behind her, but Hu Lanlan couldn’t catch up no matter what. It was as if the bridge was longer than it looked.
“Lei Yun, Lei Yun, stop.”
Hu Lanlan angrily used her magic to catch up with Lei Yun, but it was still the same.
“Old Lei, stop!”
Lei Yun chuckled from behind, changed his pace, and suddenly appeared in front of Hu Lanlan.
“What’s so strange about this rope bridge?” Hu Lanlan wasn’t stupid. The rope bridge was only this short, how could she have walked so far and still not reached the other side?
Lei Yun grinned and let her look at the surrounding cliffs.
Hu Lanlan was puzzled.
“A Bagua formation has been set up under this bridge. If you don’t follow the correct method, you won’t be able to reach the starting point. Your words just reminded me.”
“Even a highly cultivated fox spirit like you can be trapped, it seems this is really not simple.”
Hu Lanlan looked at the cliff and asked suspiciously, “Could the exit be in the cliff?”
“You can only sense that they are in front, but we can only see what’s in front of us, we can’t get in.”
After speaking, he grabbed Hu Lanlan’s arm and said, “Close your eyes.”
Hu Lanlan did as she was told and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
Lei Yun looked at her and said as he walked, “I’ll listen to you from now on. Tell me when to open my eyes and I’ll open them.”
Hu Lanlan hummed in agreement and obediently followed behind.
Lei Yun took a few steps and suddenly pulled Hu Lanlan hard, falling towards the cliffs on both sides.
Hu Lanlan only felt her body instantly lose control and said in panic, “Lei Yun, what are you doing?”
With a thud, the pain of hitting the ground assaulted her body.
“Open your eyes.”
Hu Lanlan opened her eyes and saw that they had already reached the other side of the rope bridge. She looked at Lei Yun suspiciously.
“What method did you use?”
Lei Yun grinned and said, “This is your specialty, how can I tell you?”
Hu Lanlan rubbed her arm that had hit the ground and looked at him through gritted teeth.
“I need to change my fox habits quickly.”
“Hmph.” Hu Lanlan glared at him and said, “It’s innate, how can I change it? You’re the only one who can make me this angry.”
Lei Yun scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and continued forward.
The two passed through the left and right tombs and saw that the large room was filled with exquisite utensils.
“Looking at these stone statues, they’re so tall, and their eyes are so protruding. What dynasty’s style is this?” Hu Lanlan looked around and couldn’t help but ask Lei Yun.
Lei Yun was staring at the stone tablet by the door.
Hu Lanlan couldn’t understand the words on the stone tablet, because she thought they looked like worms crawling.
“Old Lei, are you talking?” Hu Lanlan couldn’t help but urge him.
“Here lies King Huai, who fought bravely… specially bestowed divine jade…”
Hu Lanlan turned around and walked over, and saw Lei Yun reciting a passage in a daze.
She reached out and pushed Lei Yun’s arm, raised her chin, and looked at the stone tablet.
Lei Yun, who was woken up by the push, smiled slowly and said, “This should be from North Jin.”
“North Jin?”
Hu Lanlan slowly counted the dynasties she knew on her fingers.
“When was North Jin?”
Lei Yun looked at her with a smile, turned around and went to look at the stone statue, and said unhurriedly, “It’s normal that you don’t know. North Jin existed for a very short time, only more than sixty years, and it was still before I inherited the inn.”
After speaking, he smacked his lips twice and said coolly, “I still have to thank the few books that your master left you.”
“This North Jin, ah, belongs to a subordinate who usurped the throne, so it’s not legitimate. It wasn’t long before it was overthrown by the descendants of the previous dynasty. As for the owner of this tomb, judging from the introduction on this stone tablet, it should be Ji Ling, the second son of Ji Wusheng, the first emperor. Ji Ling was a handsome man in history.”
“Ugly woman, how have you never heard of him?”
Lei Yun suddenly knocked Hu Lanlan on the head and said, “I told you to read more books, but you don’t. For the past three hundred years, all you’ve done is tease decent men. If you put a little of your mind on books, you wouldn’t even know Ji Ling.”
Lei Yun looked at her with some disappointment and said, “He also has another name, Duan Zigu.”
Hearing this name, Hu Lanlan’s eyes instantly lit up and said, “That’s him, Duan Zigu, this is his tomb!”
Lei Yun nodded and said urgently, “After Ji Ling was conferred the title of King Huai, he came to his fiefdom, the realm of Wucheng. Two thousand years later, it’s probably his heavenly plate, but the stone tablet says divine jade, I don’t know what it is.” He suspiciously scanned the room.
“Lanlan, let’s go quickly, I guess the answer is ahead.”
Outside the main tomb chamber, Qiangzi and the others were already searching for the coffin.
This place was different from other places. The main tomb chamber looked like a huge cave, with exquisite murals painted all around. Countless gold and silver treasures were placed on the ground, and a long-burning lamp that had been burning for thousands of years was hanging above.
Lao Er and Ma San kept glancing at the treasures on both sides, the greed in their eyes almost overflowing.
Even Qiangzi couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the luxurious scene. If Uncle Zhao Wufang wasn’t watching, the three of them would have run over there long ago.
“Hmph, you’re all so useless, hurry up and find the coffin for me,” Uncle Zhao Wufang said angrily, his sharp eyes scanning the three of them.
Hearing this, Lao Er and the others trembled and quickly said yes, searching the tomb chamber everywhere.
At first, they thought that Uncle Zhao Wufang was just an ordinary old man, with a little money and Qiangzi’s help, but he didn’t have much ability.
It wasn’t until they encountered the two guardian lions when they first came in that they realized that this thin Uncle Zhao Wufang was not an ordinary person. After the stone lions opened the door, they somehow came to life. Lao Er and Qiangzi fought for a long time and almost lost their lives.
At that moment, Uncle Zhao Wufang suddenly soared into the air and took out two talismans from his waist and threw them at the stone lions. In an instant, the stone lions turned back into stone statues. Uncle Zhao Wufang recited a few incantations, and the stone lions quickly turned into dust, leaving only two strange bugs.
