Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

Bury the soul-gathering coffin on the road and let thousands of people trample it to take away the bad luck.

It sounds mysterious, but in fact this is a method that only experts know.

Ji Changsheng couldn't help but ask.

"Who taught you to deal with it this way?"

The fellow immediately replied with a look of reverence.

"He is the elder of the village. He is the oldest and most respected old man in the village."

Ji Changsheng nodded and asked again.

"Then what is the name of this elder? We want to visit his old man."

The fellow hurriedly waved his hand and smiled.

"I appreciate your kindness for the elder, but don't go there because you won't be able to see him. He has a withdrawn personality and never sees anyone else."

"As for the elder's name, we only know that the elders in the village call him Tu Gu, which means elder brother. No one knows his real name."

When the little brother heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he glanced at Ji Changsheng, but said nothing.

Ji Changsheng did not continue to ask, but walked aside with his younger brother.

"Brother, do you seem to know something?"

The younger brother shook his head and replied.

"I just vaguely remember that someone called me that before. I may have really been to Yunnan, but I can't remember it."

Ji Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that the person who dug out Chen Yulou's eyes in the cave more than seventy years ago was really the younger brother?

But why would he do this?

To know the answer, it seems that the only way is to go to the cave in person.

They waited silently on the roadside for more than an hour, until it was completely dark, and the fellow villagers finally finished their work.

The middle-aged man was from the small village at the foot of Zhelong Mountain. He said he was really sorry for wasting the time of the scientist comrade.

In order to express the hospitality of the locals, he volunteered to act as a guide and took them to the village to stay.

The village is not far away, and we arrived at the foot of the mountain in half an hour.

The mountain here is sparsely populated, and the villagers' houses are not clustered together, but dotted over a large area at the foot of the mountain.

The place where the guide took them was an inn in the village that specially received guests from out of town, called Caiyun Inn.

Ji Changsheng nodded secretly. It was finally the same as in the original work. They had not come to the wrong place.

The owner of Caiyun Inn is a tall and thick-set man, his wife is an enthusiastic ethnic minority woman, and they have two daughters aged sixteen or seventeen. The eldest daughter is named Peacock.

The fat man looked at the peacock and couldn't help but think of the clouds in Yao Village.

The dinner was very sumptuous. The boss said that Zhelong Mountain is located in a remote place. In the past, only salesmen and craftsmen who visited the village would visit, and there would be merchants who purchased tea every spring.

In addition, no outsiders come here all year round, so there is only this inn in a large village, and there are usually very few guests.

A scientific expedition team like them only encounters them once every ten years, so they are considered rare guests.

Although the locals have not had much contact with the outside world, they are very hospitable. The boss talks non-stop and encourages people to drink.

After drinking for three rounds, Ji Changsheng asked about the elder's situation intentionally or unintentionally.

The boss said: "Elder Tu Gu is actually not a local. He came here before I was born, probably more than sixty years ago."

"He is a very capable person. He often treats the villagers, gets medicine for free, and teaches us some useful techniques. Every household has benefited from him, and he is the most respected person in the village."

"After the old village chief passed away, Elder Tu Gu became the only elder in the village."

When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously.

"He is a foreigner, why doesn't he leave as soon as he comes? Has he become the village's son-in-law?"

The boss smiled and shook his head.

"No, although the old village chief proposed several marriages to him, he rejected them all."

"We asked him later, why did he stay?"

"He only said that he was tired of the outside world and wanted to find a quiet place to live without being disturbed by others, so we didn't ask any more questions."

When Ji Changsheng heard this, he already had concerns in his heart.

A foreigner with no relatives or friends will settle here for the rest of his life.

Besides, this person came here more than sixty years ago and must be very old now.

Ji Changsheng would not believe that there was an expert who was tired of the world. He felt that this person would only have two purposes.

Either he ran to hide in this isolated ravine to avoid his enemies.

Or just for something local!

There are no rare products in Zhelong Mountain. The only thing that can make people miss it for a lifetime is the tomb of King Xian!

Moreover, this elder knows how to deal with the soul-gathering coffin. He is obviously an expert and not an ordinary person.

So the second possibility is more likely, it is to present the king's tomb!

Ji Changsheng couldn't help but admire that Elder Tu Gu would spend his whole life for an ancient tomb!

This patience and perseverance is amazing.

Thinking of this, Ji Changsheng mentioned again that they wanted to meet this elder Tu Gu.

Wang Kaixuan was a man of business, so he quickly took out a bunch of expensive gifts, half of which were given to the villagers present, and the other half was intended to be given to the elders.

These gifts were prepared before they came, just to build good relations with the locals.

When the boss and the man saw these gifts, their attitudes changed.

"It seems that you are visiting sincerely, so we will take you there tomorrow. However, the elder has a weird temper. I can't guarantee whether he will see you or not."

The drinking party lasted until midnight.

The next morning, Ji Changsheng asked the others to stay in the inn, and only took the young man and the boss with him.

The boss led them across a small river and walked for more than an hour before they saw a thatched cottage in the distance.

"The elder lives there alone. When you get to the door, you wait outside first. I'll go in and report."

Ji Changsheng looked up and nodded secretly.

The location of this thatched cottage is very particular. It faces the water in front and the mountain in the back. The view is wide. It is not only very good in feng shui, but also contains the Eight Trigrams.

This Elder Tu Gu is a master!

The three of them came to the gate, and the boss pushed the door to report. Two big dogs rushed out and looked at Ji Changsheng and the young man vigilantly.

The young man waved his hand gently, and the two big dogs barked softly, all of them lay on the ground obediently, shaking their tails vigorously.

After a moment.

Only an old man's voice came from the house.

"It turns out that there are distant guests visiting. Please come in."

Ji Changsheng and the young man looked at each other. The voice was full of energy. It turned out to be a top-notch master!

There are very few people with such cultivation in the world, and they are all famous figures.

Who is this Tu Gu elder?

The two walked through the yard and came into the house.

But they saw that the furnishings in the house were very simple. There was a portrait of Lu Dongbin hanging on the wall, and a stove of high-quality incense was burning.

A tall old man with white hair and beard sat in front of the portrait, looking at the two guests who came in.
