The ancestral grave was robbed?
Everyone had a change of expression as soon as Master Yao said that.
Especially Shen Chongshan, Ba County was under his jurisdiction. If the Tang family's ancestral grave was really robbed, he might be blamed as the county magistrate.
Tang Ning took two steps forward immediately and stood next to Master Yao. "Master Yao, what did you say?"
"Look at this soil."
Grandmaster Yao pulled up another piece of soil. As he pinched it, he said in a deep voice, "Your Tang family's ancestral grave is at least two hundred years old, but this soil is very fresh. It's as though it has just been dug. Also, I smell the stench of soil."
Tang Ning copied what he did and pulled a piece of soil. She placed it in front of her nose and sniffed it. Subsequently, she turned her head to look at Shen Chongshan angrily. "County Magistrate Shen, you're amazing."
"Ms. Tang, no, I …" Shen Chongshan's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had no idea how to explain himself.
Shen Jing, who was standing aside, scoffed. "Don't be so sure. Isn't it just a piece of soil? How can you tell that the ancestral grave was robbed? Moreover, the grave is perfectly fine here. "
"This isn't an ordinary grave robbery. If I'm not mistaken, the grave robbers must've dug a robber's hole that leads to the bottom of the grave."
Master Yao shook his head and walked around the grave with his compass. He then walked to the back of the grave and pulled a layer of soil away.
A hole that was approximately a meter in diameter appeared before everyone's eyes. There were dead branches and leaves around the hole. They must've been used to cover the robber's hole.
"This is the robber's hole."
Master Yao said in certainty. He then exclaimed, "Robbing someone's ancestral grave is extremely immoral. It'll also destroy the feng shui. Ms. Tang, I think the sand spots on your back are caused by this."
Seeing that the robber's hole was revealed, Shen Jing was completely speechless.
Shen Jing was completely speechless. Shen Chongshan's heart sank to the bottom. He wanted to cry but no tears would come out. He was secretly cursing the mayor of Yellow Sand Town.
"Master Yao, what do we do now?"
Tang Ning panicked as she was furious. If the ancestral grave was really robbed, she would not be able to explain herself when she returned.
Master Yao fell into silence for a while and said, "The only thing we can do now is to check the grave. The feng shui here has been destroyed, so the ancestral grave has to be relocated. I wonder if your ancestor's coffin and bones are still here."
"Alright, we'll follow you down."
Tang Ning gritted her teeth and turned to the young man in a suit beside her. "Xiao Liang, leave one person to look after them. Everyone else, follow me down."
She even glared at Shen Chongshan coldly when she was done speaking.
Shen Chongshan jolted and forced a smile that looked uglier than crying on his face.
"Miss Tang, don't worry. When I get back, I'll be sure to conduct a thorough investigation and give the Tang family an explanation."
This was a serious matter. This was the ancestral grave of the Tang family in the Gang Province. If the Tang family was not satisfied with it, he would not be able to answer to the mayor, let alone a county magistrate.
Master Yao bowed and entered the robber's hole first. Tang Ning followed with Xiao Liang.
"Old man, why don't we not go down?" Shen Jing swallowed his saliva, feeling a little guilty.
After all, this was a tomb, and there were dead people buried inside.
Shen Chongshan was not much better. However, thinking that he was responsible for this, he could only bite the bullet and go in.
At that moment, only Ye Chen, his daughter, Shen Jing, and the bodyguard that Tang Ning left behind were left.
"Old Ye, don't go. Just wait up there with my niece," Shen Jing said worriedly.
Ye Chen said while smiling, "Don't worry, I'll go down with you."
He was shocked to find out that the red dot marked on Gu Fan's map was in this tomb. He even asked the Patriarch of Hell secretly through voice transmission, and the patriarch confirmed it again.
Shen Jing sighed and could only lead him into the robber's hole.
The robber's hole was approximately a meter in diameter. Ordinary people would have to bend their backs to barely go through it. It was dark inside, so Shen Jing took out his flashlight to see the path clearly.
Ye Chen did not mind as he had Divine Consciousness. With his Divine Consciousness, he could see clearly even if he closed his eyes.
Approximately ten minutes later, they arrived at the tomb.
It was a spacious stone room with many burial items around. However, most of them were stone cows and stone horses. There were also stone figurines in armor with bows and arrows in their hands.
It seemed like Tang Ning's ancestor was a general when he was alive, and his rank was quite high.
"Who's that?!"
Master Yao, who was walking at the front, shouted all of a sudden. It triggered a series of exclamations. After all, the tomb was eerie enough.
The stone room lit up all of a sudden. There were oil lamps on the wall, giving off a dim yellow light.
Ye Chen looked forward by instinct. He saw a man in a black robe fighting Master Yao and the rest.
The scene was rather awkward and terrifying.
Theoretically, they came here to look for a dead person. However, a guy that was neither human nor ghost came out of nowhere. Some of them were almost scared to death.
Tang Ning even hid behind Master Yao. Her body was shaking, and she dared not look at the person before her.
"Don't be afraid. It's a living person!"
Master Yao reminded and squinted at the black-robed man 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 ghosts were two different things.
"Haha, who are you guys?"
The black-robed man took a good look at them and suddenly spoke in a cold voice. The voice was a little hoarse. It was a man.
Master Yao said with a grim expression, "I'm Yao Qian, the Gang Province's Feng Shui master. The lady behind me is the descendant of this tomb, Ms. Tang. Why are you in the Tang family's tomb? Don't tell me you're planning to rob tombs? "
The people were relieved to hear that the black-robed man was a human.
Shen Jing took two steps forward without saying anything and said with a scoff, "There's no need to ask. Look at how this guy is hiding. Since he's in this tomb, he's clearly a tomb robber."
"So, what if I am?" The black-robed man said while smiling.
"Great, so you're the one who dug the robber's hole outside."
Shen Chongshan was so mad that his nose was almost crooked. He pointed at him and scolded, "Robbing an ancient tomb is a serious crime. You'll be sentenced to imprisonment from three to ten years. If the case is serious, you'll be sentenced to more than ten years or even life imprisonment."
Tang Ning ordered the two bodyguards behind her as soon as she snapped back to her senses, "Capture him."
Since he was a human, the two bodyguards were no longer afraid. They walked to the black-robed man one after the other.
Master Yao said by instinct, "No!"
As soon as he was done speaking.
The black-robed man opened his mouth and spat a green airflow at the bodyguard who was walking in front.
