Lin Zhao knew things were going to go south when he saw the coldness in my face. He quickly turned around and said a few words to those soldiers.

I don’t know what Lin Zhao said.

In short, I saw those soldiers whispering to each other, and occasionally glancing at me.

After a while, Lin Zhao said, "They said they want to be Yin soldiers."

I sneered, "Be Yin soldiers? That's quite a request! Why don't they just ask to be Ghost Kings? Tell them to get lost, go wherever they want! If I can't find dead men, I'll find living ones."

The soldiers saw that I was about to turn around and leave, so they quickly called Lin Zhao to stop me.

Just as Lin Zhao was about to speak, I cut him off, "There's no need to waste words with them. They're not sincere, there's no point in talking anymore."

"But..." Lin Zhao was about to object, but I forcibly dragged him away.

Several soldiers were so angry that they yelled, but I didn't understand what they were saying.

The Taiping soldier who was following me into the depths of Zida Di said, "Sir, those soldiers won't let it go if they don't get any benefits. You have to be careful that they don't trip you up behind your back."

I sneered, "I wouldn't have come here if I was afraid of them. Do you know about Shi Dakai hiding his treasure in Zida Di back then?"

The Taiping soldier said, "That's nonsense. The prince gave all the treasures he had to the local chieftains back then. But they took the money and didn't do anything. If they hadn't blocked our way, we wouldn't have suffered such a miserable defeat!"

The Taiping soldier suddenly changed the subject and said, "But before we were defeated, I always heard the prince say something like 'Stone Dragon facing Stone Tiger'. He even went to look for the Stone Dragon and Stone Tiger."

I asked calmly, "How did you hear what Shi Dakai said?"

The man said, "I used to be the prince's personal guard, always by his side, until the breakout, when I was selected to go to the vanguard camp."

I asked casually, "Then have you seen the Stone Dragon and Stone Tiger?"

The man said, "Stone Tiger, I haven't seen it. Stone Dragon, I think I have. When the prince first brought his troops here, he found a stone dragon near here, and he made a special trip to see it."

"At that time, the prince also cut his finger and touched the stone dragon's eyes twice with his blood, and the stone dragon's mouth opened."

"The prince looked into the stone dragon's mouth for a long time, but he couldn't figure out anything, so he took us back."

"After that, the prince kept looking for things nearby. But he didn't find anything."

I looked at Lin Zhao, and the latter quickly said, "That's Wang Xue Dian Jing (royal blood dotting the eyes). Legend has it that dragon spirit earth veins will sense the blood of a king."

"However, I don't know if that's the entrance to the Guiguan Men (Ghoul Coffin Sect) ancestral land."

I asked the Taiping soldier again, "Did Shi Dakai find the Stone Tiger?"

"No!" The man shook his head, "At that time, some people said that the Stone Tiger should be on the opposite bank of the river. But the prince said no, the Stone Tiger must be on this side of the river. Otherwise, we wouldn't have waited here for three days."

I nodded to Lin Zhao before saying, "Take me to the Stone Dragon and let me have a look!"

"This way!" The Taiping soldier led me up the mountain for a long time before pointing to a two- or three-meter-high stone and saying, "That's the Stone Dragon!"

When I looked up at the stone, I did think that it looked like a dragon, especially the eyes, which even had a bit of an imposing air.

However, the dragon's mouth was tightly closed, and it didn't look like it could be opened at all.

Ye Yang jumped onto the mountain rock and looked around, saying, "This is a Yashan Long (suppressing mountain dragon), a feng shui formation used to suppress evil things under the mountain."

"Pan Long Guan (coiled dragon coffin)?" Lin Zhao also said, "Guiguan Men (Ghoul Coffin Sect) has a kind of coffin called Pan Long Guan (coiled dragon coffin), which is to let a python coil around the coffin and bury it underground with the python. The python, whether alive or dead, will always guard the coffin, preventing anyone from opening it."

"But I've never heard of using a stone dragon to suppress a mountain of coffins!"

I muttered to myself, "Maybe this is the work of the Guiguan Men (Ghoul Coffin Sect) patriarch? How do you open the Pan Long Guan (coiled dragon coffin)?"

Lin Zhao said, "Wang Xue Dian Jing (royal blood dotting the eyes), but not directly on it, but to use blood to draw the Guiguan Men (Ghoul Coffin Sect) opening coffin incantation. Otherwise, it will attract the snake spirit's backlash."

Ye Yang said, "It seems you guessed right."

"Back then, Shi Dakai only knew about Wang Xue Dian Jing (royal blood dotting the eyes). He didn't know that he also needed to draw the incantation."

"Therefore, he was regarded as an intruder by the guarding mountain stone dragon."

"The backlash of feng shui earth energy caused the river to surge, which trapped him in Zida Di."

Lin Zhao said, "Li Po, you are a Tian Lang Ming Ge (Sirius Fate). The blood of the Wolf King is also royal blood. I'll help you draw the opening coffin talisman."

"Okay!" I cut my finger and raised my hand to Lin Zhao, who held my finger and drew a talisman on the stone dragon's left eye.

As soon as the talisman was completed, a thunderclap exploded in the sky, a deafening roar that echoed in all directions, and even the mountains under our feet trembled a few times.

When I looked up at the sky, it was already covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain seemed to be coming at any moment.

Ye Yang gasped, "The power of feng shui is backfiring, don't move."
