Now that Lian Xiang and Quan's affairs have been settled, and Lin'er was born safely, Wen Yuan is worried about something else.
"Master, are we going to travel with Lin'er in the future? Will it be inconvenient and we have to bring a wet nurse."
Quan has also considered this matter. It is indeed unrealistic, but he cannot leave Lin'er alone.
Wen Yuan saw the master's embarrassment and took the initiative to resolve the awkward atmosphere, "Let's stay in Feihua City for now. When Lin'er is one year old and no longer needs breast milk, we can take her on the road."
Seeing how sensible she was, Quan felt very emotional, "You have grown up, and you are no longer the reckless little girl you were before."
Of course...he is still twenty-five or six years old after all...Wen Yuan secretly cursed in his heart.
"Miss, we received a tip that a group of tomb robbers are coming towards us."
"Oh?" I didn't expect that the tomb of the concubine from the previous dynasty was coveted. "A few people, but are there people with names in the world?"
Owl told all the information he had obtained, "They are a group of unknown people, five men. They heard that the former Princess Zhang had a luminous pearl in her mouth, so they were concerned about it."
The tombs of the former concubines have been well preserved. Digging up other people's graves without authorization is strictly prohibited in the Dragon Kingdom. However, because the benefits are too high, many people still take the risk.
Many tombs have been discovered under Feihua City. The tomb of Princess Zhang is the most luxurious and elegant among all the tombs, so it is not surprising that it attracts some tomb robbers.
Precisely because there are many tombs here, Wen Yuan pays special attention to these things.
We have such information today because Wen Yuan has made many friends in the world. These people have their ears in all directions, and it is not easy to collect information about several tomb robbers.
This group of tomb robbers was so unlucky that they couldn't dig anywhere, so they came to Wen Yuan's Feihua City to dig.
"Our miss takes these issues most seriously. They dare to come to Feihua City to rob tombs. They are really desperate. Miss, do you think we should stop them now, or wait until they arrive before making a decision?" Chunhua's voice was not loud, but it was just right. into everyone's ears.
Wen Yuan looked at the account book in his hand with a nonchalant look on his face, "Don't worry, we have no evidence now. Keep a close eye on them. When they arrive at Feihua City and start taking action, we will catch one of them."
A few days later, the group of people came to Feihua City as the news said.
The five men looked like ordinary men. They looked very inconspicuous in their coarse cloth clothes and were not tall. "Brother, Princess Xianyang of Feihua City is very taboo on tomb robbers like us. Come here to dig up Princess Zhang's tomb... right? not too good?"
How could people like them who travel around the world not know the rules of various places? The biggest rule in their tomb robbing world is not to dig graves on Wen Yuan's territory.
"She doesn't know that we are here. Besides, I heard that she left Feihua City a long time ago and has never come back." I don't know what age this is from the gossip. It seems that these tomb robbers are not good at it. So uninformed.
Wen Yuan's people have been observing these men. They seem to have nothing to do except drinking. "How many days have they been in Feihua City?"
"It's been three days."
"Then what have they been doing these three days?"
Without even thinking about it, Falcon said, "I drink and have fun all day long with nothing to do."
"That's right, recharge your batteries, lower the attention of those around you, and blend into the crowd. This is what they have to do now."
Chunhua on the side asked puzzledly: "What time will they take action based on what Miss Yi sees?"
when? Wen Yuan looked at the sky outside the window and said slowly: "Tonight."
tonight? Chunhua still didn't understand, "How did the lady know that they would take action tonight?"
"Look at the weather today. There are dark clouds but no rainfall. This is the most suitable weather for their actions. The clouds will block the moonlight. Then the surroundings of the tomb will be eerie. No one dares to go there in broad daylight, let alone like this A cold night."
So that's it, Chunhua nodded as if understanding.
Late at night, five men of small stature wearing night clothes came to the tomb of Princess Zhang on the outskirts of the city.
The surrounding area was eerie and air-conditioned, and the weirdest thing was that there was a well with a small inner diameter standing on the empty wasteland.
The well was blocked by a large stone, and five people worked together to push the stone away.
I saw a yellow talisman slowly falling from the stone ground.
One of them picked up the talisman on the ground and was frightened as soon as he took a closer look, "Big... big big... big brother... this is the corpse-killing talisman..."
The leading man snatched the talisman paper from his younger brother's hand and saw that the words "order the general to come here" were clearly written on it.
The man came closer to the talisman paper and smelled it, "This is painted with chicken blood...could it be..." He looked at the well behind him warily.
He rushed over and put the talisman paper back on, and ordered a few younger brothers to press the stones on the well.
The other three younger brothers didn't understand what the Corpse Suppression Talisman was, so they hurriedly asked the elder brother, "What is this? Brother, why are you so nervous?"
"Don't touch this well, it's weird." The man stopped a few feet away from the well, "This talisman carries masculinity at the top, yinhe at the bottom, and runs through the five elements. It is used to suppress corpses. After tearing it off, the ghosts will be dead. Scatter...walk, walk, stay away from here."
A group of people fled in a hurry. If they do too many immoral things, they will always encounter ghosts, so they believe in these things.
Finally, they found the entrance and exit of the tomb under a big locust tree, and several people were too timid to go in. "Brother... the locust tree gathers shade. Do you think there should be something down there... "
"You guys are really useless. You have so much courage to rob tombs. What are you afraid of? That well over there must be a demon-sealing well. There won't be anything here!"
They were wrong, absolutely wrong. There were no ghosts or zombies here, but there were existences more terrifying than these two things.
The five people carried oil lamps and went deep into the tomb. The secret passages here are complicated and there are many mechanisms. It seems that it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build.
Wen Yuan personally followed them with his men, "When we arrive at a spacious place, we will capture them alive if we can. If we cannot capture them alive, we will kill them directly."
"It's Miss." Falcon and Owl agreed softly, with Quan following at the end as a finishing touch.
But as soon as they entered, the stone door of the tomb suddenly closed. No matter how hard they knocked, they could not open it again. The group had no choice but to find traps around them.
But this place seemed to be a place of death that could only be entered but not exited. Wen Yuan saw that the door at the back was still open, and immediately decided to take people deep into the tomb. There might be a mechanism in the deepest part. Otherwise, how would the person who built the tomb come out? Woolen cloth.
But Wen Yuan still went to the end and said hello to Quan, "If you really can't get out in a while, Master, use your demon power to level this place."
With such a domineering sentence, the place was leveled, and Quan nodded in agreement.
He was not in the mood to talk about such things now, he could only vaguely feel the familiar smell.
The group of tomb robbers had already lost their way here. The dark and narrow tunnel made it difficult for several grown men to straighten their backs. "Brother, my waist is almost useless."
"What's the noise? Quiet! Did you hear anything?"
sound?
Several people were silent, and even their breathing was very slow, "There were footsteps..."
The footsteps they heard belonged to a few people from Wen Yuan's side, but these tomb robbers were stupid. They didn't notice anyone following them in yet, so they thought it was haunted...
"Quickly, quickly, take out the talisman that the master illuminated. Don't lose it if you hold it in your hand."
With such fear, it was hard to believe that they were here to rob the tomb. "Let's quietly walk to a spacious place first, slowly, so as not to disturb each other."
At this time, Wen Yuan and the others also encountered a problem. With someone leading the way, they quickly found the coffin of Concubine Zhang in the tomb. After checking the night pearl in her mouth, they relaxed and said, "They haven't succeeded yet, so we should go now." Where can I find those people?"
"This tomb is so strange." Wen Yuan looked around, "Why is there no sarcophagus in it? Who opened this?"
It is true that there are two sarcophagi in the tomb, one with Concubine Zhang lying in front of her, but the other is empty. "Could someone have stolen it?"
"No, the corpse is worthless. If it were a tomb robber, why not steal the night pearl instead of the thousand-year-old corpse?"
It's so strange to say this. Falcon was observing the surroundings and suddenly remembered something and ran to Wen Yuan and said, "Miss, Mrs. Zhang is from Yunting, and Yunting has always had the custom of sacrificial burial. Do you think it's possible?" It was the deceased who knew the mechanism of the tomb, so he ran away."
Hmm... Wen Yuan buried his head in thought for a while. This made sense, but was unrealistic. "Okay, don't worry about this for now. Let's quickly look for any agencies around here."
During the search, Wen Yuan was attracted by two bronze tomb-suppressing beasts. As she approached, she was pulled into a strange space as soon as she touched one of the tomb-suppressing beasts.
The clear water merged with the sky. Wen Yuan stepped lightly on the water with his bare feet, startling the woman sitting on the small island in the center.
The woman's black hair fell to the ground like a waterfall, "Huh? Who are you?"
"Who are you?" Wen Yuan did not answer her question, but asked instead.
"Me?" The woman giggled, her voice as clear and sweet as a silver bell, "I am Zhang Meiji, the king. My hometown, Yunting, is like a fairyland."
Wen Yuan realized that this was how Concubine Zhang looked when she was young. She had no memory of her old age and thought she had bought a little girl. "It's just... why I'm trapped here... I don't understand."
"How long have you been here?"
"It's been so long... I thought time had stopped." She didn't know that there was indeed no concept of time in the illusion she was in.
Wen Yuan looked into the distance, and it was pitch black in front of him, "Where is that place over there?"
"Where?" The woman laughed again, "Don't go over there, there's a weird old woman living there."
