Chapter 94: Inside the Tomb

Zeng Xiaofan looked at the dilapidated tomb with a sigh and couldn't help but say it out loud. Zhou Xiaohu and the others beside him were even more shocked: "Brother Fan... Brother Fan, it turns out you actually know feng shui!" "Incredible! Nowadays, even with your young age, you can still understand a bit of feng shui. It's really rare!" "I see, so how did you find the burial site? It turns out you know feng shui and can distinguish the gold and acupoints!" "Amazing, amazing!" Zhou Xiaohu said this and sincerely gave Zeng Xiaofan a big thumbs up. The other strong men nodded one after another, all with expressions of respect. If before these people respected Zeng Xiaofan out of fear of his martial prowess, then now their respect was heartfelt admiration. Including Zhou Xiaohu and the rest of these tomb robbers, they usually walked the crooked paths of the world. Although some of them killed without blinking, they knew in their hearts that what they did was harming heaven and injuring people. So deep down, there was still fear, which is why these people often believed in metaphysics more than ordinary people. Having seen with their own eyes that Zeng Xiaofan could pinpoint the location of the feng shui burial site and explain the ins and outs, each of them now revered Zeng Xiaofan as a master in their hearts. However, Zeng Xiaofan didn't give them a good look, only glancing at Zhou Xiaohu with cold eyes and saying coldly: "When did you start robbing this tomb?" "Erm... half... half a month ago..." "When you opened the grave, did anything unusual happen?" Zeng Xiaofan said with a serious face. He could see at a glance that the bird-beak stone that was chiselled open wasn't just a year or two ago. From the weathering of the stone cracks, it hadn't been more than a hundred years, probably eighty to ninety years. In such a long time, the feng shui treasure land that was destroyed became a land of great inauspiciousness, and in such lands over time, evil spirits must be born. That's why Zeng Xiaofan cared if there was anything unusual before. When Zhou Xiaohu heard this, his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "On the day we just opened the grave... that day... we all heard the lewd sounds of men and women having intercourse in the tomb." "But after we broke through the tomb robbery hole, the lewd sounds disappeared instantly..." "Then a small-legged blacktail snake... crawled out from inside..." Zhou Xiaohu was still a bit terrified when talking about that day's situation: "But that's it... Later... later, nothing strange happened anymore." Zeng Xiaofan slightly frowned and asked, "Are you sure nothing strange happened later??" "Definitely! If there was some nonsense, where would we dare continue digging~?" Zhou Xiaohu patted his chest and said, "If you don't believe me, ask the others, none of them had any issues, right?" "Yeah, we didn't feel anything wrong." "Is there a problem? Master?" someone asked cautiously. Zeng Xiaofan just slightly shook his head and said indifferently, "Snakes are naturally lustful. When you opened the grave, you heard the lewd sounds." "Then you saw the blacktail snake. Logically, there should be evil spirits in the grave." "With evil spirits around, they should naturally entangle with you, but you say there was nothing unusual..." "This is a bit strange. There are only two reasons for this situation: one is that the evil spirits are still in the tomb waiting for an opportunity." "The other is that the evil spirits inside have already transferred. Now I can't feel any abnormal evil qi in the tomb, so it must be the second reason." As Zeng Xiaofan spoke, he thought of the Jiao gentleman from the county magistrate's wife's family, and immediately understood what was going on. Obviously, when Zhou Xiaohu sent the Jiao gentleman to the county magistrate's wife Wang Yanfen, he unintentionally sent the evil spirits away as well, which is why they didn't have incidents. But Wang Yanfen had it rough; if he hadn't discovered it in time, the entire female family of the county magistrate's family might have been drained and died. Zeng Xiaofan saw through it but didn't expose it, because his main purpose this time was to investigate whether this tomb had any connection with his grandfather. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with ordinary trivial matters. Thinking of this, Zeng Xiaofan just said indifferently: "Forget it, it's best that there was no abnormality. Where did you get those things from before? Take me there now to see!" "Cough cough... Brother Fan, it turns out you are also interested in antiques~." "Alright, I'll take you in." Zhou Xiaohu said this and took Zeng Xiaofan through the tomb robbery hole directly into the tomb chamber. Only when Zeng Xiaofan entered the tomb chamber did he discover that it was a different world inside; the tomb was extremely large, its area comparable to a large flat layer. Only in the middle of the tomb chamber were there many straight pillars separating it, with ancient runes carved on the pillars, and various antiques placed on the open spaces between the pillars and pillars. The entire tomb chamber had no walls except for the pillars; one could see the stone coffin right in the middle at a glance. At this time, the tomb chamber was also brightly lit; Zhou Xiaohu and others had actually brought a diesel generator inside. Zeng Xiaofan saw this and immediately felt puzzled: "The area inside is so large, why did you run outside to avoid the rain?" "Couldn't you just stay in this tomb chamber to avoid the rain?" Zhou Xiaohu smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "We do want to avoid the rain in the tomb chamber..." "However, these pillars are very strange. Every time it rains, they leak electricity everywhere. People get electrocuted, so where would we dare stay here..." "If a few more big thunders come, the entire tomb chamber would be electrified, and who knows if people would get electrocuted~." "Oh? Is that true..." Zeng Xiaofan slightly frowned, knowing that these stone pillars were probably some ancient defensive mechanisms. He didn't say more, only carefully observing the environment inside the tomb chamber. Sure enough, in a corner, Zeng Xiaofan discovered a pile of ancient copper coins. Zeng Xiaofan picked up the ancient copper coins and looked at them carefully. Sure enough, they were exactly the same as those his grandfather Li had placed in the drawer when he was young. Seeing this, Zeng Xiaofan had already determined that his grandfather Li must be connected to this ancient tomb. After carefully searching inside the tomb chamber, there were no other gains. Zeng Xiaofan casually probed Zhou Xiaohu without getting any useful information. Thinking of this, Zeng Xiaofan simply opened his mouth directly: "Does any of you know an old man named Li Zhongshi?" "Li Zhongshi?" "What does he do? Is he also a feng shui master?" Zhou Xiaohu asked curiously, and the others shook their heads one after another. Zeng Xiaofan raised his sword eyebrows again: "You all came to this tomb for the first time?" "I mean, a month ago, have you been here before?" "No..." Zhou Xiaohu shook his head repeatedly, afraid Zeng Xiaofan wouldn't believe him, and added: "If you had come earlier, knowing there are so many treasures inside, you would have already taken them all away. How could you wait until now~." Zeng Xiaofan nodded, his voice sinking again: "Then, who invited you to come dig this grave this time?" "Don't tell me you found it yourselves..." "Think carefully before answering. If you dare to lie even one word, you won't be able to leave today!" As Zeng Xiaofan's words fell, the invisible oppression swept across the entire field again. Zhou Xiaohu, in panic, slightly turned his eyes and stammered: "This... Brother Fan... this person... you'd better not know~." "Believe me, I'm doing this for your own good~."
