The moon was high in the sky, and under the rolling clouds and mist, the mountains were pitch black.

Only the archaeological site arranged by Chu Qiguang was filled with braziers, illuminating the surrounding area.

Dozens of Dharma Protector Generals waved their swords, guns and sticks to dig out the rocks layer by layer.

All around, there were soldiers from the Demon Suppression Division carefully cleaning up the sand and transporting the excavated earth away one by one.

At the entrance of the construction site, there is also a two-meter-high gold statue of Xuanyuan Daoist. In front of the statue are placed incense, candles and paper bundles, as well as sacrificial pigs, cattle and sheep.

Whether they are soldiers, cavalry, scholars, or tomb robbers, they will pray to Taoist Xuanyuan before and after they come in and out for peace.

Chu Qiguang stood on the cliff in the distance. From a high position, he could clearly see the conditions of the entire construction site.

His eyes swept across the huge hole in the center of the construction site, where obvious man-made structures were emerging little by little along with the excavation.

Chu Qiguang said casually: "How is the excavation work going? Have you figured out what kind of tomb this is?"

Behind him, the scholar he summoned from a nearby city wiped the sweat from his head and said cautiously:

"We have now opened the first tomb door. Judging from the patterns, there are running deer, sea pomegranates, lotus flowers, peonies and other objects. The painting style is obviously that of Xia Dynasty porcelain."

"The tombs here are extremely high in shape and large in area, and the mountains were carved into tombs. This is the style of thick burials in the early Bactrian period."

Chu Qiguang's eyes moved slightly: "A tomb in the early Daxia period?"

He said: "You must attach great importance to this archaeological work, insist on analyzing history based on objects, and see people through objects."

"Archaeology is not only related to the cognitive study of our human race's history, but also related to the exploration of the origin and development of our human civilization."

"Remember not to damage every stitch in the tomb, so that our descendants can see the cultural treasures left by these ancestors."

"Especially the various materials, documents, and atlases in the tombs must be preserved and there should be no mistakes. If anyone doesn't listen to you, tell me directly and I will kill him."

Several scholars looked at Chu Qiguang in surprise, and what he said was beyond their expectations.

Originally, they thought that the excavation of tombs organized by imperial hawks like Zhenmosi must be for the treasures in the tombs.

But they didn't expect that Chu Qiguang asked them to preserve the things in the tomb and didn't ask about the various burial objects at all.

As if he had guessed what the scholars were thinking, Chu Qiguang said casually: "I am not short of money. The price of the gold, silver, and jade in the tomb is insignificant to me."

"This archaeological activity is mainly to explore ancient culture. You can go ahead and do it without any scruples."

After hearing this, several scholars looked at Chu Qiguang with a hint of respect in their eyes.

Next, the archaeological work continued. During the exploration, the archaeological team gradually discovered various mechanisms such as poisonous gas, quicksand, pits, kerosene, and falling rocks.

However, the archaeological team at this moment has gathered thousands of people, and in front of them is the guardian god general Lie Lei summoned by Chu Qiguang. It can be said that the manpower, logistics, and materials are all sufficient.

These mechanisms of the ancient tomb are only designed for sporadic tomb robbers, and are completely useless in front of such an army.

As the tomb's multiple courtyard walls, front rooms, and funerary rooms were cleared out one by one, more and more information was summarized by scholars and presented to Chu Qiguang.

"Based on the size and shape of the burial objects, the owner of the tomb is probably a senior official of the Xia Dynasty..."

"The paintings inside the tomb describe the achievements of the tomb owner, including killing demons, compiling classics and history, and promoting capable ministers..."

"We found a triangular sacrificial vessel among the funerary objects. It seems to be a sacrificial vessel from the Wuwei Cult. This senior official may have believed in the Wuwei Cult..."

"Although Wuwei Sect is considered a cult in today's Han Dynasty, this was not the case in Daxia. At that time, ministers in the court believed in different sects, which was very common..."

At this moment, the main hall of the tomb was finally opened, but except for the bottomless darkness that even flames could not break through, nothing could be seen inside.

The Dharma Protector entered it and soon lost contact.

Some animals were tied up with ropes and sent into it. After being dragged out, they were already unconscious, but they seemed to be fine on the surface.

Then several more tomb robbers were sent into it, and they were dragged out with ropes and fell into coma. After they were woken up, none of them remembered what happened.

'Is this a ghost realm? But it looks like this tomb ghost is not too fierce.'

According to the information of the Demon Suppressing Division, tomb ghosts are the most powerful among many ghosts, and they are also the ghosts that Chu Qiguang can transcend only after entering the fourth chapter of "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

After a series of experiments, Chu Qiguang decided to go in personally to see the situation.

But before going in, he first used the technique of 'spirit summoning' to attract Lin Lan.

As a gloomy wind rolled in and poured into his body, Chu Qiguang's muscles trembled instinctively, just like an ordinary person being blown by a cold wind.

Lin Lan's voice rang out, turning into a chill that spread all over Chu Qiguang's body: "I can come and go with a wave, who do you think I am?"

Chu Qiguang comforted him: "Xiaolan, why don't I want us to stay together forever? As long as I deal with this ghost in front of me, my cultivation will be further improved, and then we can be together day and night."

Lin Lan snorted proudly, looked at the ghost realm of the main hall in front of him, and frowned: "What a powerful guy, I can't see through him."

But the next moment she laughed again: "But he doesn't seem to wake up yet. This is a good opportunity."

"Don't act rashly after you go in. It's best to find out what magical powers he has first."

After receiving Lin Lan's reminder, Chu Qiguang first screened away everyone in front of and behind the main hall, then opened the door to the Buddhist world and brought in several workers.

Tie a hemp rope around your waist and hand the hemp rope to the workers behind the gate of the Buddha Realm.

Chu Qiguang pointed to the incense burner on the ground and said, "If I can't come out after the incense is burned, just ask the laborers to pull me out."

Zhou Yujiao's voice came from the darkness of the Buddhist world: "I know, I will pull you out after the incense is burned."

After giving the instructions, Chu Qiguang took a deep breath and stepped out into the endless darkness of the main hall.

The next moment, it was like pouring a large bowl of oil into the brazier.

The darkness in front of me shook violently, like layers of clouds rolling in crazily.

Lin Lan said coldly: "Be careful, he wakes up..."

But before Lin Lan could continue speaking, Chu Qiguang had been completely swallowed by darkness.

Light and shadow flowed, and when Chu Qiguang came to his senses again, he had appeared in a huge library.

In front of me are rows after rows of bookshelves as far as the eye can see.

"Is this the inside of the tomb?"

"The space has been changed?"

"Xiaolan..."

"Xiaolan?"

Chu Qiguang rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that he was in some trouble.

He clasped his hands together and showed no response.

‘Can’t the Buddha Realm be opened?’

But at the same time, he could feel the burning heat like a volcanic eruption coming from his chest.

At this moment, an old voice sounded behind him: "Chun Yi... help me get the "Unmovable Scroll"."

Chu Qiguang was slightly startled, and was about to turn around to see who the old man who called him was.

But just the thought of turning back suddenly caused a chill to rise in his heart.

Then he turned his head slightly, only to catch a vague black shadow in his peripheral vision, and the chill spread all over his body in an instant.

'If I turn around completely and see the old man... something very bad will happen.'

With such an idea popping up in his mind, Chu Qiguang simply stayed where he was and gave up his intention of checking on the old man.

Behind Chu Qiguang, it seemed that he didn't feel Chu Qiguang's reaction. The old man said again: "Chun Yi? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Hurry and get the Immovable Scroll."

Following the old man's urging, a chill suddenly rose from the soles of his feet.

Even with Chu Qiguang's strong Qi and blood, he still felt like he was about to freeze.

'This old guy... is stronger than Lin Lan.'

'Is he the ghost of this tomb?'

'You can't confront him head-on. You must first understand what his abilities are.'

Chu Qiguang immediately returned: "I heard it, I'll go get it right away."

"Yes." He responded softly, and the old man's attention seemed to be focused on the book in front of him again.

Chu Qiguang felt the chill in his body gradually dissipate, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he looked at the endless bookshelves in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder: "Where is this "Fudo Volume"?"

At the same time, the burning heat from the Ring of Foolishness in his chest grew stronger.

Even when facing so many ancient books on the second floor of the big library or in the Tianyi Pavilion of the Han royal family, Chu Qiguang didn't feel that excited by the Ring of Foolishness at that time.

He looked at the rows of books on the bookshelf and thought to himself: "Is there anything special about the books here?"

"The Ring of Fools is so excited?"

His eyes swept across the bookshelf, and after scanning a few rows, he could vaguely see some titles on the spines on the sides of these books:

"The Ten Powers of Tathagata", "Nine Heavens Demonic Thunder Technique", "The Mighty Sutra of Zhengyimeng", "Explanation from Beyond the Heaven", "Buddha's Unthinkable Theory of Dharma", "The Invisible Heart Sword of Demonic Thoughts in Heaven and Earth", "Thirty Years of the Holy Spirit"

"The Law of Six Swords", "Ten Thousand Miles of Rainbow"...
