The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

Chapter 424: Entering the Tomb

Li Yan suddenly grabbed Chu Luo’s wrist and said, “Let’s call the others over first. When the time comes, we’ll find out if the others have come here. If the others are also fine, they must have also dug a robbers’ tunnel nearby.”

Chu Luo nodded.

The two of them went back and brought everyone else over (except for the two guides).

The Sun father-and-son pair circled the robbers’ tunnel. Sun Tianhao’s face was filled with excitement. “So this is the robbers’ tunnel.”

Third Master Sun said with a dark expression, “Indeed, the Qin family has evil intentions. Are we a step too late?”

“No. They haven’t found the real tomb yet.”

Although Third Master Sun didn’t know why Chu Luo was so certain, he still chose to believe her. He stood up and made a decision. “Let’s find the other batches of people who didn’t come here first. Then, we’ll go to the tomb too.”

Then, Third Master Sun and Li Yan sent people to look for the others at the same time.

Everyone waited for nearly half a day.

Only then did Qin Ming return with his men.

Everyone stared at him.

After Qin Ming walked over, he said, “There’s a robbers’ tunnel on the opposite shore of this lake. It was dug by the Duanmu family.”

The father-and-son duo asked anxiously at the same time, “Did you see anyone else?”

Qin Ming shook his head.

Li Yan asked again, “How long did they go down?”

“It should be about the time the Qin family went down.”

When they heard this, they fell silent.

After a while, Sun Tianhao said, “Why don’t we go down too? Maybe we can block those two families inside. It’s obvious that these two families have ulterior motives. We can’t let them destroy this imperial tomb.”

“There’s no hurry.” Third Master Sun had a serious expression. “Let’s confirm if anyone else is alive. Since so many people came last time and so many foreigners have designs on this imperial tomb, we won’t let any of them off.”

Sun Tianhao immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Don’t let even the Qin family and the Duanmu family off. These two families are too arrogant.”

Everyone waited for a while before the few batches of people Third Master Sun sent returned.

“Third Master, we found a robbers’ tunnel five kilometers away from the lake.”

Another person said, “No other person or robbers’ tunnel has been discovered.”

Third Master Sun nodded. After the person reporting left, he looked at Chu Luo and Li Yan.

“Our men have searched everywhere within a five-kilometer radius of the lake. We only found three robbers’ tunnels. Only the Qin family, the Duanmu family, and another batch of people came here. This is good. When the time comes, we can deal with these three batches of people properly.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “I wonder if the professors and archeology department at Imperial University followed them to the tomb.”

“Probably not,” Third Master Sun said. “The Qin family and the Duanmu family are all selfish. It’s impossible for them to bring these people to the tomb at this time.”

Chu Luo sighed in her heart and thought that it was a pity.

Li Yan guessed her thoughts and grabbed her hand. “I’ll send people to look around.”

Chu Luo nodded.

Then, the four of them discussed the tomb.

“Since Little Chu is here to find something to remove the Gu worm from your teacher, don’t go to dangerous places. Also, Li Yan…”

At this point, he suddenly pulled a long face and said to Li Yan in a warning tone, “You’re already rich enough to rival a country. Don’t think about getting wealth that you shouldn’t have. I hope you won’t participate in this matter. Otherwise, I’ll deal with you too.”

Li Yan only glanced at him coldly.

Third Master Sun’s hands suddenly felt itchy.

Sun Tianhao quickly pulled him back.

Li Yan said to Qin Ming, “Guard them upstairs. Once these people come up, deal with them directly.”

Li Yan’s ruthless and merciless words made the Sun father-and-son duo glance at him.

Third Master Sun frowned, but he had no intention of stopping him.

However, Sun Tianhao thought enviously, ‘If only I had his boldness and resolution.’

Qin Ming: “Yes.”

After discussing, Chu Luo, Li Yan, the Sun father-and-son duo led a group of people into the robbers’ tunnel that the Qin family had dug.

The robbers’ tunnel was very deep. After all, the ground was covered with sand. If they didn’t go deeper, the ground would probably collapse above them.

Even so, everyone would be blocked by the collapsed sand after walking for a while.

Fortunately, the Sun family had brought people with expertise in this area. As soon as they encountered a collapsed region, they quickly removed the sand there.

They walked and stopped for almost an hour before seeing the exit.

Everyone walked in from the exit and saw a long passageway. The passageway wasn’t wide, but it was very deep. It sloped downwards and they couldn’t see the end.

“Is this the entrance to the imperial tomb?”

Sun Tianhao was a little excited. “I wonder if there will be murals inside.”

Third Master Sun said to him, “Be serious. We’re not here for sightseeing.”

“Got it.”

“This is only the periphery. We haven’t reached the entrance of the imperial tomb.”

Although Chu Luo said that, she knew that the imperial tomb of the Phoenix Skies Dynasty was indeed below.

“How did you know?” Sun Tianhao couldn’t help but ask.

“I guessed.”

After saying that, Chu Luo walked forward.

Li Yan walked beside her with a flashlight.

“Could this passageway be a robbers’ tunnel too?”

“No, the robbers’ tunnel can’t be so flat and repaired.”

After walking for about 20 minutes, they arrived at a spacious place. There were several junctions here.

Everyone stopped. Third Master Sun said to his men, “Take a few people to see which path has footprints.”

When those people went over, Chu Luo and Li Yan stood there without saying anything.

The few people who came to check quickly returned and said, “Third Master, we didn’t see any footprints in the holes. They obviously wiped them off.”

“Hmph, they’re indeed cunning.”

“Dad, what should we do now?”

After Sun Tianhao asked Third Master Sun, he looked at Chu Luo. “Chu Luo, do you know where those people went?”

Chu Luo tapped her finger on a few spots. Soon, footsteps appeared on them.

“D*mn, they actually split up to go into these two holes. How are we going to chase after them?”

Li Yan said, “Then let’s split into two groups. No matter which hole it is, it will definitely lead to the main tomb door. We’ll meet there.”

This was the only way.

Chu Luo gave the Sun father and son a few talismans and said, “If you encounter any danger, these talismans can protect your lives. Carry these two talismans with you. If you encounter anything you can’t resolve, I’ll come and save you.”

Third Master Sun and Sun Tianhao opened their mouths at the same time, but they didn’t know what to say.

Third Master Sun took the talisman and said, “Be careful.”

“Okay.”

Li Yan and Chu Luo left with the six men he brought.

The more Chu Luo walked forward, the more her body naturally emitted a gentle red light.

Li Yan immediately realized that and grabbed her hand tightly. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Luoluo, what’s going on?”

The bodyguards looked at her in surprise.

Chu Luo shook her head at him. “It’s fine. This is Phoenix’s reaction to that tomb.”

When Li Yan heard this, not only did he not let go of her hand, but he also tightened his grip. He had an indescribable feeling brewing in his heart.

He felt like as long as he let go of her, he wouldn’t be able to find her in the next second.

Half an hour later, a stone door suddenly appeared in front of them.

There was actually a carving on the stone door and a type of text.

However, the words had been corroded by time and couldn’t be seen clearly.

Chu Luo placed her hand on the stone door. After a while, she said to Li Yan, “What’s written on the door?”

“What is it?”

“There’s a hall inside. There are two doors in the hall. One leads to the main tomb chamber, and the other leads to the netherworld.”

Li Yan was silent for a while before asking, “What else does it say?”

“There’s also a mirror in this room. Beside the mirror is a twin fish jade pendant. Don’t let your reflection appear in the mirror, and don’t touch the jade pendant inside.”

“What will happen if we touch it?”

“The jade pendant can be duplicated. Maybe the people who entered have already been duplicated into two groups.”

“If those people touch the jade pendant and we enter, will we also be replicated?”

“As long as that mirror doesn’t capture our reflection, we won’t.”

Chu Luo’s tone was very calm. When Li Yan heard this, his expression was also as calm as usual, but the six bodyguards behind them felt a chill down their spines.

Chu Luo glanced at the side and saw a groove. She raised her hand and pressed on the groove. Indeed, the stone door opened.

The moment the stone door opened, a talisman in Chu Luo’s hand flew out.

Then, she walked in.

Li Yan followed her.

The six bodyguards looked at each other and quickly followed them in.

The white bones piled in two corners of the stone room made people subconsciously wonder if they were those of the replicas. They instantly felt their blood run cold.

The talisman Chu Luo threw out covered the mirror and jade pendant like a blanket.

The two doors were on both sides of the mirror.

Chu Luo walked over and glanced at the two doors. She pointed at one of them. “This way.”

Li Yan nodded and pushed open the door.

There was another long passageway inside the door.

However, there were countless Eternal Lamps burning in this passageway.

The two of them didn’t say anything and quickly walked forward.

The quality of the air in this corridor was no longer as good as before. There was even an indescribable rotten smell floating in the air.

The six bodyguards tightened their grip on their weapons and were on standby.

This time, they actually walked for half an hour before walking out of this passageway and arriving in a circular hall.
