Chapter 164: Chaotic Burial Mound

  That morning, Chu Zifeng was woken up by Lin Shaoyun's phone call. At first, he was very annoyed, but after hearing what Lin Shaoyun had to say, he immediately jumped out of bed and left the house three minutes later, after quickly washing up and getting dressed.

  This is a detached villa in the city of Yanjing, which is also the home of Huo Tong. Since Huo Tong has died and his wife and children have escaped, this villa naturally has no one living in it.

  "Your Majesty, you have arrived."

  Chu Zi Feng had just entered the villa when he saw Lin Shao Jun and three others here, but there were no other members of the Dong Bang in attendance.

  "What's going on?" Chu Zifeng got straight to the point without any unnecessary words.

  "Master, originally we came here to take a look and see if Ho Tong had left anything good behind, such as a large amount of gold. Unexpectedly, the safe where money was kept wasn't found, but instead we found a hidden compartment in the kitchen."

  Chu Zi Feng asked: "What's inside?"

  "Currently, we still don't know what kind of special materials were used to make that hidden compartment. We can't even open it."

  "Take me there right away."

  Chu Zifeng had actually thought of this earlier, since there were cultivators in the Evil Wolf Gang, it was likely that Huo Tong's home would have things related to cultivators. However, after Huo Tong's death, Chu Zifeng couldn't be too obvious and run to Huo Tong's house, lest he be investigated by the police and get himself into trouble.

  Just yesterday, Lin Shaojun and his group felt that the timing was almost right, as Huo Tong had been dead for over a decade, and the police, military, and government had gradually lost interest in the Evil Wolf Gang's affairs. So, Lin Shaojun and his group decided to come to Huo Tong's home to take a look.

  Although the police had searched Ho Tong's home after the destruction of the Evil Wolf Gang, they did not find anything, not even a single cent of ill-gotten money.

  Lin Shaojun didn't believe that after all these years of operating in Yanjing, the Huo family would have nothing at home. It must be that those police officers hadn't searched carefully enough, or to put it another way, Huo had hidden his good stuff too secretly, making it impossible for the police to find anything, which was why they called upon the three of them, including Zhuihun, to take a look around the Huo residence.

  After a whole night, Lin Shaojun and his three men almost turned Huo Tong's house upside down, finally finding a hidden compartment in the kitchen. However, because the door of the hidden compartment was too hard, even their battle knives couldn't cut through it, so they could only ask Chu Zifeng to come over first!

  The kitchen of this villa is not very large, it's about one-third smaller than the ordinary villa's kitchen. This makes Chu Zifeng feel strange. If he didn't guess wrong, this must have been designed by Huo Tong when building this villa, in order to avoid suspicion and no one would think of hiding valuable items or cash inside the kitchen.

  "Your Majesty, this is where we found the hidden compartment."

  Lin Shaojun walked to the cabinet and pushed it open, revealing a black square grid behind it. On the grid was carved a wild wolf, which was the emblem of the Evil Wolf Gang!

  Chu Zi Feng stretched out his hand and touched the square grid, but found that it was not made of iron, and even had a slight warmth to it.

  "This is forged from the raw materials of a Refining Tool, your war knives can't cut through it."

  Lin Shaojun's four war knives were all forged by Chu Zifeng, and in this ordinary world, there was nothing that their war knives couldn't cut through. Only those extraordinary things would be able to stump their war knives.

  Undoubtedly, the hidden compartment discovered by Lin Shaojun and others was cast from the raw materials of a refining tool. This point had already been felt when Chu Zifeng stretched out his hand to touch it.

  Lin Shaojun and the other three looked at each other, and Spider asked: "Your Majesty, how can we open it?"

  "Fall back, all four of you."

  After Lin Shaojun and the other three left the kitchen, Chu Zifeng waved his hand, a black light flashed in front of him, and the Yixiao Magic Sword appeared in his hand.

  "The magical sword of Ninth Aunt is so powerful that even those werewolves with diamond bodies can be killed with one slash, and materials like this should not be a problem."

  The words fell, and Chu Zi didn't waste any more talk. In one evening, the magic sword was suddenly drawn out, causing a burst of buzzing sword hums throughout the entire villa. Even Lin Shaojun and his four men, who had just exited the kitchen, all covered their ears with their hands.

  Hiss.

  A strong black light flashed in the kitchen, followed by a "ding" sound. The square grid was split in half by Chu Zifeng's magic sword.

  Lin Shaojun and the other three rushed in immediately after hearing the sound, but what they saw behind that grid was indeed a hidden compartment. However, there wasn't much inside, just one small box, about the size of a ring box.

  "Your Majesty, surely it's not a ring or an earring or something?" asked Qi Bai.

  "You'll know just by looking!"

  Chu Zi Feng took out a small box from the hidden compartment, but when he opened it, he found a small piece of folded cowhide paper inside.

  "What is this thing?"

  Chu Zi Feng took out the cowhide paper, and the small box was naturally useless, so it was thrown aside by Chu Zi Feng.

  "Your Majesty, this appears to be a map!"

  When Chu Zi Feng unfolded the folded cowhide paper, there was a route drawn on it with some coordinates and geographical names.

  "Yes, it's indeed a map, and it's a map of the southeastern part of Yanjing City."

  "What's strange is that Huo Tong hid a map so secretly, what was he doing?" Lin Shaojun asked.

  Chu Zi Feng carefully examined the map and said, "This is not an ordinary map. It should be a translation from those ancient maps. Look at the geographical names on this map, although they are written in simplified characters, but the titles are all ancient titles."

  "Your Majesty, I know this place. A few years ago when the police were after me, I hid here for several days. However..."

  Chu Zi Wind saw a spider and before he could finish speaking, he asked: "Speak directly?"

  "Your Majesty, this is a burial mound, and for tens of miles around, there's no one living here. What's the point of Ho Tong making a map of this burial mound?"

  "Huo Tong isn't a fool, he wouldn't hide a useless map so secretly for no reason. I think there must be something good at the place marked on this map."

  Chu Zi Feng paused for a moment before saying: "You've done well this time, but as for the map, forget about it now and go back to Dong Bang to do your job."

  Lin Shaojun and the other three naturally wouldn't say much more, plus the four major branches of the Dong Gang had just been established, and as the leaders of their respective branches, they still had a lot to take care of.

  "Yes. Your Majesty, then let's return to headquarters first."

  "Hmm... right, our Dongbei gang occupying the Yanjing underworld must have spread all over the country by now. Other gangs from other regions will definitely be keeping an eye on us, especially those from our Huadong region. So you guys need to be extremely careful when doing things. After all, Yanjing has just stabilized, and even if there are outside gangs causing trouble, try to endure it when possible and avoid direct confrontation."

  Lin Shaojun asked: "Your Majesty, what if other foreign gangs are too excessive?"

  "Those who are too much will be handed over to the Soul Chasing Blade Hall for disposal, but it must be done in secret and cannot be done openly, nor can any gang take advantage of our weakness."

  "Master, when can we finally confront other factions head-on?"

  Chu Zi Feng thought for a moment and said: "When your four major factions can merge or split, that's when you can make your move."

  Can be merged and divided, merging into a whole, gathering all the strength; separated into four small bodies, but can support each other. Only when it reaches that level can the Dong Gang confront other regional gangs head-on, but now is not the time!

  After leaving the deserted He's villa, Chu Zifeng did not go home or to school, but instead took a bus out of town and got off twenty miles outside the city of Yanjing.

  Just as the spider said, this place is indeed quite desolate. There are no houses in sight around here, and wild grass grows everywhere. Even the trees surrounding us are all charred black, without any fresh air, but with a pungent smell that makes your nose itch. If people lived in such a place, it would prove that those who live here have some psychological and physiological abnormalities.

  Chu Zifeng took out the map and followed the marked places, walking all the way until noon when he finally arrived at the place marked on the map, which was also what Spider called the Chaotic Burial Ground!

  In today's new China, there is still the existence of a chaotic burial ground, undoubtedly, this is an area that no one is in charge of. It's possible that even the central government doesn't know about the existence of this place. The leader responsible for this region won't be foolish enough to report this chaotic burial ground and look for trouble.

  Inside the burial mound, each tomb did not have a tombstone, and some coffins were not buried underground, but were placed directly on the ground.

  A lone crow flew overhead, its cry sending a shiver down one's spine. Although it was broad daylight, the atmosphere was no different from that of nightfall!

  "This should be the place marked on the map."

  Chu Zi Feng arrived in front of the three graves, which formed a triangle. Inside the triangle were placed three piles of skulls, each with three layers: four on the first layer, three on the second, and one on the third. Moreover, all three piles of skulls were placed behind the three graves, resembling both a symbol and a ritualistic arrangement.

  At this time, there was no hint on the map anymore, but Chu Zi Feng believed that in this place, there must be something special, otherwise, Huo Tong would not be so boring and would not think of a game to trick people!

  Chu Zi Feng walked around the three graves for several rounds, but didn't find anything unusual, nor could he find any mechanism inside.

  Under his impatience, Chu Zifeng walked to a tree five meters away from the three graves. He originally wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but just as Chu Zifeng's body had crouched halfway down, he suddenly discovered that the trees around him were a bit strange!

  "Four directions, eight arrangements! This is... the Fuxi Eight Trigrams Method!"

  Chu Zi Feng never thought that the trees growing here would form a layout of the Bagua diagram. Was it intentionally arranged by someone, or was it naturally grown? If it was arranged by someone, then judging from the age of these trees, it should be over a hundred years old! But if it was naturally grown, then Chu Zi Feng really had to admire the wonders of nature, which could make dozens of trees grow into the shape of the Bagua diagram.

  "Could it be that the secret of the map and those three tombs is related to these trees?"

  Chu Zi turned around and kicked the tree behind him with his foot, but unexpectedly, he only lightly touched it with one foot, yet this tree made a huge commotion, as if something was rapidly growing under the ground. Suddenly, a very thick tree vine emerged from underground and extended towards the surrounding trees.

  Rumble...

  When the vine had circled around the trees that formed the Fuxi Bagua, suddenly, a slight earthquake occurred in the entire chaotic burial mound, and the three tombs also began to collapse. With a loud noise, the three tombs sank into the ground, and a large pit appeared in that place!
