Chapter 98
The family’s ancestral tomb had been robbed?
Everyone present had their expression changed as soon as Master Yao was done talking .
Especially Shen Chongshan, Ba County was under his jurisdiction after all . If the Tang family’s ancestral tomb had really been robbed, it would be hard for him to explain as the county head .
Tang Ning immediately took two steps forward and asked after she got to Master Yao, “What did you say, Master Yao?”
“Look at the soil . ”
Master Yao grabbed another piece of dirt and said in a deep voice while crushing it, “The Tang family’s ancestral tomb has existed for 200 years but the soil is very fresh . It’s like it has just been dug . Also, I smell the scent of fresh soil . ”
Tang Ning copied what he did and grabbed a piece of dirt . She placed it before her nose and sniffed . She turned her head around to look at Shen Chongshan as her pretty face was filled with rage . “County Head Shen, aren’t you reliable?”
“Ms . Tang, I…” Shen Chongshan’s forehead was dripping cold sweat . He had no idea how to explain that .
Meanwhile, Shen Jing who was standing aside scoffed . “Don’t jump to conclusions yet, isn’t this just a piece of dirt? How can you tell whether the tomb has been robbed? Moreover, the tomb is doing fine right here . ”
“This isn’t an ordinary tomb robbery . If I’m not mistaken, the tomb robber must’ve dug a robber’s hole that connects to the bottom of the tomb . ”
Master Yao shook his head and started pacing around the tomb with his feng shui compass . He then walked to the back of the tomb and dug in the soil .
A hole with almost one meter in diameter appeared before them . There were old branches and fallen leaves around the hole placed in an attempt to cover it .
“This is the robber’s hole . ”
Master Yao said with determination and exclaimed . “Robbing an ancestral tomb is extremely unethical behavior, and it would damage the feng shui . Ms . Tang, I suppose this is the reason you got the sand spot on your back . ”
Seeing that the robber’s hole had appeared, Shen Jing had nothing left to say completely while Shen Chongshan’s heart sank . He was close to tears and was secretly cursing the Yellow Sand Town’s mayor .
“Master Yao, what do we do now?”
Apart from being enraged, Tang Ning was panicking . If the ancestral tomb had really been robbed, she had no idea about how she would explain it to her family when she returned .
Master Yao said after a moment of silence, “Now the only thing that we can do is to check the tomb . The feng shui form has been destroyed here and the ancestral tomb would have to be moved . I wonder if your ancestor’s coffin and bones are still around . ”
“Sure, I’ll go with you . ”
Tang Ning clenched her teeth and turned her head to a young man standing next to her in a suit . “Xiaoliang, get someone to stay here to keep watch . The rest will follow me into the tomb . ”
She glared coldly at Shen Chongshan when she was done .
Shen Chongshan jolted and forced a smile that was uglier than a cry on his face .
“Don’t you worry, Ms . Tang . I’ll get people to investigate this later when I get back . I’ll definitely give your Tang family a proper explanation . ”
The matter was serious . This ancestral tomb belonged to a wealthy family from the Gang Province . If he upset the Tang family and they started questioning, the county head aside, even the mayor could do nothing about it .
Master Yao bent down and took the lead into the robber’s hole . Tang Ning caught up to him with Xiaoliang .
“Old man, let’s not go in . ” Shen Jing gulped, he was rather scared .
It was a tomb after all, there was a dead person buried inside .
Shen Chongshan was scared too . However, figuring that this matter was his responsibility too, he could only unwillingly follow them .
At the moment, it was only Ye Chen and his daughter, Shen Jing, and the bodyguard that Tang Ning asked to stay were left behind .
“Old Ye, let’s not go in . Wait out here with my niece,” Shen Jing said with concern .
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go with you . ”
He was shocked to realize that the red dot on Gu Fan’s map pointed toward the tomb . He even secretly asked the Patriarch of Hell through Voice Transmission and got the patriarch’s affirmation .
Shen Jing sighed as he could only go into the robber’s hole with him .
The robber’s hole had a diameter of almost one meter . Ordinary people would have to bend over to forcefully pass through . It was dark inside, Shen Jing took out the torchlight so that he could see the path .
That did not bother Ye Chen as he had Divine Consciousness . With his Divine Consciousness, he could clearly see beneath his feet even if he had his eyes closed .
It took them around 10 minutes to arrive at the tomb .
It was a vast stone room with many burial items around . However, most of them were stone bulls and stone horses . There were also stone figures in armor with bows and arrows in their hands .
It seemed like Tang Ning’s ancestor was a general . Not only that, but his ranking was also high .
“Who’s that?!”
Master Yao who walked in front suddenly shouted which caused a series of screams behind him . After all, it was scary in the tomb .
The stone room suddenly lit up . The oil lamps on the walls were glowing with dim lights .
Ye Chen looked forward by instinct and saw a black-robed person confronting Master Yao and the rest .
The scene was rather awkward and terrifying .
Theoretically, they came in to look for a dead person . However, something appeared before them and they were not sure if that was a human or a ghost . A portion of them almost pissed their pants .
Tang Ning hid behind Master Yao . Her body was shaking and she dared not look at the person in front of them .
“Don’t be afraid, it’s a living person!”
Master Yao reminded and looked at the black-robed person before him . “Who exactly are you? Why are you in this tomb?”
Although he was a feng shui master, he did not believe in ghosts . After all, feng shui and ghost were two completely different things .
“Haha, who are you guys then?”
The black-robed person took a good look at them and suddenly spoke in an eerie voice . The voice was rather husky and belonged to a man .
Master Yao’s face turned grim . “I’m feng shui master Yao Qian from Gang Province . This lady behind me is the descendent of this tomb, Ms . Tang . Why are you in the Tang family’s ancestral tomb? Are you a tomb robber?”
The people behind him were instantly relieved hearing that the black-robed person was human .
Shen Jing immediately took two steps forward and scoffed . “There’s no need to question him . Look at this guy wearing a robe covering his body, he’s clearly a tomb robber since he’s in the tomb . ”
“So what if I am?” The black-robed man smiled .
“Great, so you’re the one who dug the robber’s hole outside . ”
Shen Chongshan was pissed, he pointed at the man and condemned him . “Tomb robbing is a felony . You will be sentenced for three to ten years of imprisonment . It’d be more than ten years of imprisonment and even a life sentence if the case is serious . ”
Tang Ning ordered the two bodyguards behind her right after she snapped back to her senses . “Get him . ”
Since it was a man, the bodyguards were no longer scared . The duo ran towards the black-robed man with one leading in front .
Master Yao instinctually said, “Don’t!”
As soon as he spoke, the black-robed man opened his mouth and a green breath charged onto the bodyguard who was leading in front .
The bodyguard fell onto the ground after a shriek . His entire body melted as he turned into a pile of thick blood . There was not even bone residue left behind .
