My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

"Ten meters!" Chen Wenjin couldn't help but stare at Huo Xiu'er with eyes wide open, and Huo Xiu'er's words at this time successfully attracted the attention of all the people in the Nine Gates.

A ten-meter-long tomb-guarding beast is no ordinary monster.

Even if you don't know what a death worm is, hearing that it is ten meters in size is enough to tell you how terrifying it is.

If we let such an unprepared archaeological team go, it would be great if the people can come out alive!

"Yes, you heard it right. There are more than a hundred of these tomb-guarding beasts alone. There are seventy-two layers of traps in the tomb chamber, and more than a thousand coffin-guarding beasts. There is absolutely no way to get in."

"Thousands!" Chen Wenjin looked at Huo Xiu'er suspiciously, with a big question mark on his head, and then asked, "With so many traps, so many tomb-guarding beasts and coffin-guarding beasts, how did you get into the Kuiliang Tomb?"

According to Huo Xiuer's words, Chen Wenjin thought that if they went there, they wouldn't be able to enter the tomb, let alone find the door.

I'm afraid that as soon as they approach Kuiliang's tomb, they will be beaten to death by the tomb-guarding beasts.

Huo Xiuer shook her head at this time, "We didn't go in. I just know that we encountered several death worms and were unable to cope with them. We were also blocked in the cave by the death worms and almost all died there."

"I didn't go in!" Chen Wenjin looked at Huo Xiu'er in even greater confusion. "How did you know there were mechanisms and coffin-guarding beasts in the tomb without going in? But we explored the tomb for a long time and didn't get this information. How did you know?"

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the Nine Gates were focused on Huo Xiuer. Although they were not very interested in archaeology, they were full of curiosity about the ancient tomb.

They all wanted to know why Huo Xiuer was so familiar with this ancient tomb.

Huo Xiuer shrugged, turned her gaze towards the direction of the Hao Family in the Nine Gates, and said softly: "Brother Haoxie told me. He reminded me before I set out not to look for the Kuiliang Tomb, and also told me about the death worm."

She paused and continued, "I asked him if he had been to the Kuiliang Tomb, but he said he hadn't been there either. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when I went there, I really found death worms next to the Kuiliang Tomb. Several archaeologists died because of it. We hid in the cave in a hurry, but the death worms couldn't get in because of their huge size, so they guarded the cave entrance and didn't let us out."

Zhang Wenshan frowned upon hearing this and looked at Huo Xiuer in confusion: "Isn't that a dead end?"

Huo Xiuer nodded. "Yes, we also thought we were doomed at the time, but later I contacted Brother Haoxie, and he told me how to escape. Moreover, he also told me how many traps and coffin-guarding beasts there were in the tomb, and that our strength was simply not enough to contend with those monsters. We had no choice but to come back."

Zhang Wenshan looked at Huo Xiuer blankly and asked doubtfully, "He has never been there, but he knows the tomb very well..."

After saying that, he looked at Hao Sansheng who was standing beside him, "Hao Sansheng, I didn't expect that your Hao family knows a lot! Could it be that you taught him this?"

Hao Sanxing was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a long while, and cursed directly: "Bullshit! Although our Hao family has fought many times, everyone knows who is more powerful than the other. If I had that ability, I would be the head of the family now. Besides, I just heard the three words Kuiliang Tomb for the first time today, how can I teach him?"

After saying that, Hao Sansheng also turned to look at Huo Xiuer and asked, "Girl, are you sure it was Hao Xie who helped you? This guy hasn't called me for three days, and I can't get in touch with him!"

Huo Xiuer nodded and said seriously: "Yes, he was the one who helped me. Is there any need to lie about this kind of thing?"

Hao Sanxing waved his hands, "That's not what I meant. It's just that this kid suddenly knows so much, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. But it's true, after all, he has been out there for several years, he should have made some progress! Maybe he heard it by chance from somewhere."

After saying that, Hao Sanxing raised his chin and glanced at everyone, his eyes full of pride.

Although he didn't know how Hao Xie understood so much, but in an occasion like today, Hao Xie did make him proud.

Zhang Wenshan glanced at Hao Sanxing. Although he felt a little uncomfortable with his smug look, he was secretly pondering in his heart.

Who among the Nine Gates doesn't know about Hao Sanxing's abilities?
Although he is a good tomb robber and good at strategy, he is not as knowledgeable as others...

If I say this to his face, it will definitely be misunderstood as an insult.

So, Zhang Wenshan shook his head secretly, thinking, could it be that this kid Hao Xie really has some opportunity?
After listening to Huo Xiuer's description of the situation of Kuiliang Tomb, everyone in the Nine Gates knew that this must be a large tomb.

Who knows how many treasures there are in there!
If there was nothing, the tomb owner would not have needed to create so many mechanisms and monsters.

This was the first time that the people in the Nine Gates had heard of such a large tomb.

However, Hao Xie knew all about this, and his research on tombs was ahead of everyone else.

"Girl Huo, did that boy tell you? What is he doing now?" Hao Sanxing asked again, his eyes full of concern.

Huo Xiuer shook her head. "No, I wanted to ask him, but Brother Haoxie didn't say anything and seemed very busy! Oh, he said he seemed to be in some trouble. But when I asked him, he just hung up the phone."

After saying that, Huo Xiuer curled her lips, looking helpless.

Zhang Wenshan sighed, still with a skeptical look on his face, "Logically speaking, the Nine Gates have a certain understanding of all the tombs in Dragon Country. If you want to do research, you should come to our Nine Gates to do research. Hao Xie went to other places instead of the nearby ones, and then he is so familiar with the Kuiliang Tomb... I always feel that it is a bit unrealistic."

Huo Xiuer suddenly remembered that she had asked Hao Xie before how he knew so much.

Hearing Zhang Wenshan's suspicion of Hao Xie, he couldn't help but say, "Uncle Zhang, Brother Hao Xie said that he met a mysterious man. That mysterious man gave him a book, so he knew so much! It is said that Brother Hao Xie saw the information and detailed explanations of all the tombs in Longguo in this book. This included the Kuiliang Tomb. And there are a lot of strange contents in that book. Although I haven't read it, I feel that Brother Hao Xie really learned a lot from it."

"A mysterious man?" Zhang Wenshan couldn't help but frown and look at Huo Xiuer, his face full of confusion.

Especially when it comes to the book recording all the tombs of Dragon Country, he couldn't believe it, so he shook his head and said with a smile, "It's an exaggeration to say that we know about all the tombs of Dragon Country! We nine sects are all tomb raiding families. Although we each have our own business now, we have spent our whole lives studying this thing. If we talk about understanding, I think no one knows more than us nine sects. And even so, we dare not claim to know about all the tombs of Dragon Country. Girl, what you said is really exaggerating!"

Huo Xiuer curled her lips and didn't want to argue, but she secretly complained in her heart: I don't care whether you believe it or not? Anyway, I believe it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have run away from Kuiliang's tomb!
Chen Wenjin also nodded and said, "Yes, if there is such a person, he should have been discovered by the archaeological team long ago. If such a person is invited back to develop our archaeological career, it will surely make Longguo's archaeological journey smoother. But I have never heard of such a powerful person! Girl, could it be that your brother Haoxie happened to have been to the Kuiliang Tomb, so he knows what is going on inside, and what he told you is just a joke?"

Huo Xiu'er shook her head helplessly, not quite sure.

But Hao Xie told her at the beginning that he had never been to Kuiliang’s tomb.

And in Huo Xiuer's heart, there was no need for Hao Xie to make such a joke, because it was not funny at all.

"Alright!" Zhang Wenshan suddenly waved his hand and said, "It's almost time, let's bury him first! This matter is just an episode after all, there is no need to delve into it. How is this little guy Hao Xie? I think Hao Sanxing will study it."

Everyone nodded at this time, but Chen Wenjin secretly thought: Is there really such a powerful person in the world? He knows all the ancient tombs of Longguo very well. If such a person joins the archaeological team, then they can go to any tomb they want? Who knows how much history will be brought to light by then.

But... Chen Wenjin sighed silently, wondering how could there be such a person in the world?

Perhaps Huo Xiuer was too superstitious about Hao Xie, so she made Hao Xie such a myth.

"The time has come!"

At this moment, a long shout came from the grave not far away. Everyone looked towards the grave and then walked over.

The strong men from every family in the Nine Gates hung up the coffins with ropes, and then after hearing the command, they placed the coffins in the grave pit.

The body was not cremated, and there was no custom of cremating those buried in the Nine Gates.

However, before the burial, the people from the Nine Gates discussed it with each other.

After all, these bodies have been dead for more than ten years and have not yet decayed. If they are not cremated, there is a fear of accidents.

But in the end, this opinion was still in the minority, and most people still agreed to follow the old rules and bury the body directly instead of cremating it.

But the burial ceremony must be held in a very formal and grand manner.

At this time, Zhang Wenshan came to the side of the tomb pit and took a glance. The scene was very spectacular.

The collective burial of nine people, this kind of thing has probably never happened before, right?

This is truly the first time in history.

All this is thanks to that mysterious man. If he hadn't sent back the body, their Nine Sects wouldn't have made such a big fuss in Tanzhou City today.

But deep down, I am still very grateful to that mysterious man. After all, these people are the descendants of their Nine Gates.

Returning to one's hometown is everyone's wish, and they also hope that their relatives who have passed away outside can be buried in their hometown.

What puzzled Zhang Wenshan was that this mysterious man clearly did them a favor, so why didn't he come out to meet them?

This will also allow us to find a trace of their gratitude!

Zhang Wenshan shook his head slightly, then raised the loudspeaker and shouted in a loud voice: "Begin the burial!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong men from the major families in the Nine Gates began to pull up the coffin and slowly lowered it into the grave.

Because the burial ceremony was extremely important, the suona players nearby played the funeral music even more vigorously, and some even had bloodshot cheeks, which showed how deeply they were involved.

It was late at night, but the sky was still filled with paper money.

The people from the Nine Gates watched the coffin being lowered from a distance.

When the coffins fell into the grave one by one, Huo Xiuer's eyes fell on the patterns on the coffins. She couldn't help but recall the cave outside the Miaojiang Kuiliang Tomb, where there was a corpse that had existed for nearly a thousand years. There was no coffin, only a Gu bell tightly covering it, which looked quite desolate.

However, thanks to the thousand-year-old corpse, they were able to escape from that damn place, otherwise it would have been impossible to get out.

Just as Huo Xiu'er was lost in thought, there were bursts of surprised noises suddenly heard from all around.

She quickly collected her thoughts and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze. She saw a thin mist suddenly rising above the coffins. It was not big, but it just happened to cover the coffins.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and some even started discussing, "Look, could this be a manifestation of the tribesmen?"

"No way, isn't it something that was made up by ignorant people in ancient times? How is this possible?"

"Then why do you think there is a sudden mist?"

"I don't know. Do you think that maybe the dead are angry because they were not cremated? Are they using this as a warning to us?"

Everyone was talking about it, but no one could agree.

Huo Xiu'er stood beside Chen Wenjin, looking at the mist that suddenly rose in the sky with a frown on her face.

"Aunt Wenjin, this..." Chen Wenjin was also confused and shook her head, "I don't know either. I've never heard of such a situation happening when a member of the tribe was buried before."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him started to make noise again: "Look, there seems to be a figure in the mist!"

"It seems to be true! Could it be that it is really a spirit of one of our tribe?"

"Stop it, why does that figure look so creepy to me?"

"That... is it the water surface? Or something?"

"No, this can't be a mirage!"

"Mirage? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? This mirage appeared just when we were being buried?"

At this time, the mist gradually faded, but the human figures in it became clearer and clearer.

As it was late at night and the light was insufficient, the picture looked a little dim.

Three dark shadows could be vaguely seen in the mist above the coffin. The shadow in the middle was smaller but very majestic. He was wearing a long robe, so his face could not be seen clearly.

The two shadows next to the black-robed shadow were extremely huge, standing behind him like two giants, looking down at the people below.

The two black shadows had strange shapes, and the clothes they wore did not seem to belong to this era. They were more like the clothing of ancient court officials, and the hats they wore were pointed round hats, which looked very unfamiliar.

Opposite the three phantoms, there stood ten corpses.

Compared with the two huge figures, the ten corpses seemed much smaller.

If the two black and white shadows could still be roughly seen, then the images of the ten corpses were as blurry as if they were mosaics.

However, judging from the number, these ten bodies seemed to be the bodies sent back from their nine sects, and one of them was even sent to the church in Tanzhou City. (End of this chapter)
