Chapter 7: The First Tomb

He immediately became interested and started to look around after crawling in

Moreover, the small ditch surprisingly has a slight curvature in the central area facing the U-shaped slope, resembling the posture of 'curved backs bowing to each other'

Despite the tomb door being approximately half a meter thick, at this moment, with the assistance of the overlapping Luoyang shovel, Yan Qing's strength could reach two newtons, weighing two thousand jin. Therefore, with a hard impact, combined with the powerful force of inertia, a crisp sound echoed as sparks flew, and a hole was forcefully punctured in the tomb door.

Beneath the hillside, there unexpectedly flows a clear little brook. In the stream, many small green fish swim freely and playfully.

However, below it unexpectedly revealed a line filled with a sense of arrogance that almost caused our Eighth Prince to faint and vomit blood again: "You are too weak, it is quite embarrassing for this divine shovel. In six months, if you cannot reach the fifth level of martial arts, this divine shovel will refuse to provide you with any further services, ok! Great Prince, you can play by yourself."

Later, descendants of the Dong family emerged one after another, and their tomb has been relocated to the western suburbs of Beiping, where it has been newly renovated

Insufficient spiritual energy, quickly replenish it

Dong Haichuan is indeed a real person and a true story. Since the grave is located in the western suburbs, could it be that this grave is a false one? Or perhaps the grave in the western suburbs is the false one, while the true grave is here

What is meant by 'a small dragon'?

Yan Qing suddenly thought of another troublesome issue

Before long, a tomb gate made of green stone appeared before me. Moreover, this tomb was constructed quite some time ago, as the green stone is covered with black spots

Is it a case of being haunted by a ghost? It doesn't seem like it either

There is a door

It seems that the place has changed

Suddenly, with a shake of this shovel, a thread of purple energy flashed by.

Sigh

Alas! This prince has unexpectedly returned to Earth. In that case, why not take the opportunity to sneak back to Huaxia?

To acquire martial skills, go dig a grave

Casually grabbing some wild grass nearby, I rubbed it together to form a bundle and used it as a towel to wipe for a while, finally revealing the true appearance of the tomb entrance

Immediately, this fellow became even more enthusiastic, continuously flying and shoveling.

Not long ago, a vertical shaft large enough for two people was excavated

Comparing with the basic knowledge of Feng Shui in the 'Tomb Emperor's Classic', Yan Qing feels that this place resembles what is described in the classic, referred to in the art of divination as 'a small dragon'

To seek beauty, go dig graves

Well, let's dig a grave. As a master, Master Dong must be quite wealthy. Perhaps when he is buried, he will be accompanied by a large amount of silver and gold artifacts. I am currently in need of this, so it can be considered that this trip was not in vain

Yellow mud indicates that the shovel is not deep enough

It seems that returning to Earth is no longer possible

However, when Yan Qing's gaze was languid and somewhat despondent as he looked around the tomb chamber, he was suddenly taken aback.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the space-time shovel: Master Level, Tenth Level Martial Talent, First Stage of Martial Realm, Dual Dantians, possessing the strength of a horse, with a force of six hundred pounds. When using this shovel, the effect is doubled, allowing for the excavation of the tombs of martial artists at the Seventh Stage and below.

This tomb occupies an area of only about thirty square meters, which is not large compared to the area of the * map * book.

The ditch can only be metaphorically transformed into a 'little dragon', while the weeds along the edge resemble the dragon scales worn by the little dragon

At this moment, the shovel trembled as if afraid of the cold, revealing a line of text.

Good! Based on the tomb. Let this prince see what kind of tomb you can break now! Yan Qing shouted loudly, channeling his spiritual power, and reached out to grasp the time-space shovel, which boasted a level 10 martial talent, a level 2 enhancement, and was only classified as a first-tier magical tool.

Because, unexpectedly, I have returned to the entrance of the tomb again

This creature exerted all its strength to resist. After a period of time, with a whoosh, it suddenly burst out from the time-space shovel and crashed heavily onto the ground. Its rear end forcefully sat down on a patch of wild grass measuring several meters in size.

After the true energy was infused into the space-time shovel, a flash of iron-blue light appeared, and with a sharp sound, the shovel was thrust in. When it was lifted again, Yan Qing carefully examined the mud brought out by the shovel

Upon thinking of these memories, Yan Qing was instantly filled with excitement, as he missed his comrades from Special Task Force A. This fellow disregarded everything and dashed off in a chosen direction. He ran for about three to four miles without stopping, but when he finally halted, panting and ready to take a break, he let out a terrible scream.

Yan Qing peered inside and discovered it was pitch black, an invisible pressure unexpectedly spilling out from the shovel, as if it were the road to the underworld leading to the gates of hell

This place is also quite ideal as a burial site

What a great place! Yan Qing couldn't help but look up to the sky and take a long, deep breath, instantly feeling refreshed and invigorated

Again, a series of approximately ten shovels came in succession, and moreover, the layout was defined within a range of about one hundred square meters as indicated by the manual.

To acquire skills, go dig graves

Later, he gained the favor of the prince after entering the Prince of Su's residence. His most proficient martial arts techniques included 'Palm Splitting Stone Mill' and 'Wall Painting', and it is said that his ultimate skill was 'Eight Steps in the Air', which involved spinning around a tree faster and faster until his feet left the ground, completing a full circle around the tree.

As you continue the process of grave digging, the martial arts techniques you acquire will undoubtedly become increasingly advanced. Do not be afraid, with this scripture at hand, devour, merge, and evolve. Let them become more powerful

Everywhere is a scene of picturesque mountains and clear waters, and the place where Yan Qing stands is a U-shaped hillside.

You are really something when it comes to eating

Yan Qing knew that he had probably encountered the tomb entrance

... ...

Based on the grave, a splendid life and the position of the Heavenly Emperor await you from the moment you break the ground with the first shovel

Dong Haichuan is quite familiar with Yan Qing, as this person is one of the top ten masters of the late Qing Dynasty

A wave of terrifying pressure surged forth, making Yan Qing feel as if his physical body were about to be crushed directly.

Is there a mistake?

Yan Qing's confidence has greatly increased, as this will be the first tomb he is about to excavate. For Yan Qing, it holds epoch-making significance, marking the first step towards achieving the status of the Tomb Emperor.

However, in the next moment, Yan Qing angrily sat down on the ground. This was because he had returned to the starting point once again. Repeating this over and over, he tried about ten times, each time ending up the same way.

This person pondered for a while, unable to comprehend what was going on.

However, Yan Qing discovered that although the scenery here was picturesque, the wild grass had grown up to his waist. Looking into the distance, apart from the lush green mountains, he did not see a single ghost, let alone a person.

Finally, a muffled sound resonated from about ten meters deep underground.

Moreover, two large holes were revealed on the shovel, just big enough to crawl into

Thus, the shoveling began continuously without interruption

Yan Qing saw a stone slab weighing around 300 to 400 pounds lying horizontally, so he continued to dig. Before long, as the excavation area expanded, an arched tomb, entirely paved with stone slabs, appeared before him

The most remarkable aspect of this manual is its ability to continuously integrate the martial arts cultivation techniques and skills you acquire. Generally speaking, practicing multiple techniques simultaneously can lead to conflicts. However, by practicing the methods outlined in this manual, all conflicting factors can be completely resolved, allowing for the seamless integration and evolution of various schools of thought.

Damn, Master Dong Haichuan! Yan Qing was immediately taken aback, and his emotions were somewhat stirred.

The strong man guided Dong Haichuan to his master, Master Yunpan. From then on, Dong Haichuan studied under Master Yunpan on Jiuhua Mountain.

Peering into the cave, it was empty. Not to mention a coffin, not even a fragment of bone or a piece of tattered cloth was found; it was indeed a false tomb

Moreover, every time one runs a hundred meters, a stone must be left as a marker. By aligning three marker stones in a straight line, one can proceed directly along that line. In this way, one will never stray back again

You dare to bully this prince even with your broken shovel. Damn it! Let's go dig a grave!

If you want power and longevity, then go dig a grave

Yan Qing was furious to the extreme, his face turning bright red. He quickly swallowed a first-tier Spirit Gathering Pill. Then, with a loud roar, he crazily infused his true energy. Suddenly, the spatial shovel sprayed out purple energy forward. This shovel bizarrely expanded to a size of ten feet in diameter, measuring fifteen feet in length.

This ditch winds and curves, reminiscent of a young dragon frolicking among the mountains. The young dragon dares to play with the great mountains, which indicates the spirit of 'a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.' This signifies that this young dragon possesses boundless dominance

It was discovered that many totemic inscriptions were carved on all four sides of the tomb chamber

Because this is the direction of the tomb gate indicated in the Tomb Emperor's Manual, Yan Qing picked up the shovel and, after examining the direction pointed out by 'Little Dragon' for a while, began to dig downwards.

Yan Qing gritted his teeth and swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, then focused on a single direction to run, but this time he ran a bit slower

This is the place!

It is actually written in Manchu from the late Qing Dynasty - Dong Lin, courtesy name Haichuan

Certainly, the tomb owner Yan Qing is also very curious about this

The term 'Little Dragon' refers to a small stream located in front of the U-shaped mountain bend. Due to its width of only 2 zhang, it cannot even be considered a brook and can only be referred to as a ditch

Yan Qing had no other choice. He reluctantly swallowed another Spirit Gathering Pill, and a surge of medicinal power transformed into spiritual energy after nine turns, which was then infused into the Luoyang shovel. Without any further hesitation, Yan Qing swiftly dove into a hole.

It extended to both sides, followed by a crisp sound from the local area

He was born during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, in Mijiawu, Hebei Province. While at the foot of Mount Jiuhua, he saw a strong man circling a tree, and in the midst of the alternating directions, the man's braid surprisingly stood upright, prompting him to inquire further.
