 Chapter 71: The hidden puppets were restless and eager to kill their prey

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoxuan's face showed disappointment. "If that's the case, then all those online rumors must be fake. They're just trying to attract tourists with a gimmick."

Qiao Jiu blinked her big, black eyes, which shone particularly bright in the darkness of the night. She smiled and said, "Even if there's no Qin Emperor's tomb, there might be other noble tombs around. Qishan has good feng shui, even though it's not located on a dragon vein. In ancient times, noble tombs were always built on auspicious land with good feng shui, and Qishan is definitely qualified. The landscape here is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the water level is low, and it's suitable for burial. The layout of Qishan is such that it has high mountains and flowing water, which makes it a lucky place. But of course, compared to a dragon vein, it's still inferior."

Impressed by Qiao Jiu's serious and knowledgeable explanation, Ling Xiaoxuan smiled and asked, "You're not from the Maoshan Sect, so how do you know so much about feng shui?"

Qiao Jiu replied helplessly, "I know a little about everything to make a living."

Resting her chin on her hand, Ling Xiaoxuan became very interested in the topic of tombs that Qiao Jiu brought up. "The Qin Emperor's tomb has been a mystery for so many years. I'm really curious where it is."

"The selection of imperial tombs is very strict and considers many factors. They only choose the best sites that have good feng shui and are full of vitality. The simplest distinction is between the energies of life and death, the distinction between yin and yang, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The best feng shui sites are where there is vitality and where the energy of life can be nurtured. These tombs are the most auspicious and can ensure the prosperity of the dynasty for generations to come," Qiao Jiu explained in a voice that had lost its childishness and gained a touch of maturity.

Ling Xiaoxuan was completely captivated by Qiao Jiu's words and stared at her with admiration. Qin Ruan couldn't help but smile slightly, her face showing less indifference.

She agreed with Qiao Jiu's words. This little girl was quite talented despite her young age.

In fact, there were no imperial tombs in Qishan, only hiding places for demons and monsters lurking in the shadows.

In the darkness of the night, Qin Ruan's cold and charming eyes scanned the dense and eerie trees around them.

Her eyes emitted a restrained, fierce, and dangerous light.

All the way, she had been aware that something was following them.

On the quiet mountain road of Qishan, apart from the sound of the electric motor of the shuttle bus, there was also the sound of a cool breeze blowing through the mountains.

Qin Ruan could also hear the sound of drooling coming from the shadows, the sound of something stalking its prey, and involuntarily swallowing saliva.

"That's staring at prey and involuntarily swallowing."

"Prey?"

"The roles of prey and hunter seem to have been reversed."

She, Qin Ruan, had lived a life to harvest all the malice in this world, and any evil spirits would perish at the sight of her.

"Roar!"

An unknown beast's roar came through the rustling of trees, vaguely  heard.

The people sitting in the shuttle bus sat up straight, their expressions tense and alert.

Ling Xiaoxuan and Qiao Jiu also stopped talking and waited solemnly.

The shuttle bus traveled on a bumpy mountain road, jolting severely.

Qin Ruan suddenly turned her head, and her golden eyes flashed.

She stared intently at a certain place in the dense forest behind her.

There was a gathering of more dark aura than the night.

The beast's roar just now seemed like a signal.

The hidden puppets were restless and eager to kill their prey.

A slight sneer crossed Qin Ruan's red lips, and a hint of disdain appeared on her face.

High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Tonight, she would become bait and see how many puppets hidden in the Qishan Mountain there were.

Everyone's expressions were tense, but fortunately, nothing dangerous happened next, and they gradually relaxed.

Ling Xiaoxuan and Qiao Jiu once again discussed the rumors about Qishan and the tomb of the eternal emperor.
