118: Burn some black silk for our ancestors! The Dragon-Slaying Stone falls!
After entering the cave, everyone was completely captivated by the spectacle inside! Gasps of surprise rose and fell.
"Awoo awoo..." Chang Wei jumped out of his pocket, and the four-legged creature bolted toward the darkness with all his might.
Su Yun followed closely: "Chang Wei, don't run off!"
Fatty Wang Fan, rummaging in his backpack, saw the situation and shouted: "Brother! Quick, stop Chang Wei!"
"Don't let him relieve himself randomly on our ancestors' territory! We must be respectful!"
The two men chased after the direction Chang Wei had fled, and the rest of the group followed suit.
"Awoo awoo!" After a moment, Chang Wei stopped.
With the unique majesty inherited from his father and mother, he roared toward a stone wall in the darkness.
His cries sounded fierce yet childish, almost a bit squeaky... Su Yun understood Chang Wei's animal language and looked into the darkness.
Spotlights shone one after another onto the stone wall, revealing numerous patterns... Most of them were finely carved stone etchings, densely packed.
Looking from left to right, the carvings stretched for several kilometers!
Archaeological Experts, Old Hu's Gang, including Su Yun... all stared open-mouthed, craning their necks to admire the wall carvings.
— [Holy crap! Absolutely stunning!]
— [So shocking! I've never seen carvings stretch this far!]
— [The ingenuity of the ancients, the wisdom of the ancients... what a masterpiece!]
— [Damn it! Worthy of being the Emperor's Tomb, it's too magnificent!]
— [Mom! I've made it!]
— [I feel like I can brag about this for the rest of my life...]
The millions of fans in the livestream room exclaimed in awe.
Meanwhile, the Archaeological Experts began recording everything with specialized instruments from the start... When they tried to find a way to decipher and recognize the characters on the stone wall.
They were surprised to discover: They couldn't understand them!
The Archaeological Experts frowned deeply: "Strange, what kind of script is this!?"
"A portion of it is Oracle Bone Script, and another part is ancient script..."
"And what are these densely packed, completely incomprehensible talismans!?"
On the stone wall, not only were there various ancient scripts, but also dense, baffling talismans.
Old Hu and the others looked over and said solemnly: "It's Ghost Script..."
Hiss... As soon as these words were spoken, waves of sharp intakes of breath swept through the crowd.
The cave was already cool. The two words "Ghost Script" brought a bone-chilling coldness that spread from their feet throughout their bodies.
Fatty Wang Fan shivered: "Brother Hu, can you stop scaring people?"
He silently pulled out two strings of garlic, two strings of scallions, two strings of chili peppers, and two strings of ginger from his backpack... "Brother, put these on!"
"The scallions, ginger, and garlic will protect every post-00s generation..."
Done with that, Fatty Wang Fan pulled out several candles from his pocket.
He lit them and carefully placed them in various corners... Clapping his hands, Wang Fan said: "Alright, if the candles go out, we retreat!"
Everyone: "..."
Su Yun also felt speechless: Dead Fatty, his preparations are quite thorough!
— [Pfft hahaha! Fatty, you're the designated comedian, aren't you?]
— [I was scared when we first entered the tomb, but now I'm happy again, what's going on?]
— [Holy hell, scallions, ginger, and garlic protecting every post-00s generation. Brother Su, you two are probably the only post-00s here, right?]
— [Fatty really isn't afraid of a beating...]
— [I have to say, Fatty is brave when needed, speaks his mind when necessary. He's reliable!]
... Everyone was greatly amused by Fatty Wang Fan's ridiculous actions.
The Archaeological Experts, Old Hu's Gang... continued to delve deeper, focusing on the wall carvings... They were all professionals, often dealing with tombs and artifacts.
They naturally understood certain taboos and procedures.
Following along... they walked for an unknown duration, roughly one or two kilometers.
Because the cave environment was dark and lacked reference points... the one or two kilometers felt like they had walked a very, very long distance.
Fatty Wang Fan plopped down onto the ground: "I can't do it, I can't walk anymore."
Nobody knew how much further the ancestor's tomb door was... *Huala la*... There was no other way.
Wang Fan pulled out several bundles of incense and many bundles of Joss paper he had prepared beforehand from his backpack.
He took out a lighter and lit them... "Ancestor, your junior is here today to send you spirit money!"
"Ancestor, please don't blame your junior for lacking sincerity, I truly can't walk any further..."
"I don't know what you like, so I prepared a little extra."
"I've lit the incense for you; feel free to spend the Joss paper money..."
"And this soft Huazi cigarette, I'll burn it for you. Please smoke less..."
"I have alcohol too. I didn't know what you liked, so I just bought a bottle of 'Mendao Lu' (Donkey-Stunning Brew)... just make do with it!"
Fatty Wang Fan was full of piety.
Kneeling on the ground, he pulled items out of his large backpack one by one... Finally, with a *hua hua* sound, he poured out a bag of "good stuff."
He chuckled: "Ancestor! You must like this stuff!"
"Look... black stockings! white stockings! fishnets..."
"These are all modern technology! These are what we grown men like to look at!"
"I'll burn them all for you!"
"I hope that you... while blessing us to become rich, also bless these young ladies in black stockings and white stockings..."
"Ancestor! Your junior is full of sincerity! I'm giving you a kowtow!"
"I don't have any other blessings... so I'll just wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"
After saying this, Fatty Wang Fan solemnly knelt down and gave three loud *guang guang* kowtows!
"This guy..." Everyone behind him, except Su Yun, was dumbfounded.
He was truly pious, and he really kowtowed... Three loud knocks, not a single one was hesitant... He slammed his head into the ground with all his strength!
Everyone shook their heads, turned around, and continued viewing the stone wall... — [Hahaha! Fatty is indeed a reliable guy!]
— [He really kowtows! He really gives away good stuff!]
— [This is my first time seeing someone offer black stockings, white stockings, and fishnet stockings to an ancestor...]
— [Ancestor: Little Fatty is sensible!]
The tens of millions of fans in the livestream room were amused by Fatty Wang Fan... Everyone seriously studied the carvings on the stone wall.
Gradually, combining what they had seen previously, the Archaeological Experts stated directly: "It's a biography! The wall carvings are recording the tomb owner's life story!"
"It's about unifying the gauge of carts and the written script..."
*Boom!* Just as the words fell silent, the cave began to tremble violently.
Countless stones fell from the cave ceiling... Fatty Wang Fan looked up and exclaimed: "Brother! Look quickly!"
"There's a huge boulder up there!"
"Is the ancestor manifesting!?"
Su Yun glanced up: "Fatty! Move!"
Seeing the massive, meteor-like boulder falling, everyone ran back as if their lives depended on it!
Manifesting ancestor, my foot!
Old Hu's Gang and his people desperately fled: "It's the Dragon-Severing Stone!"
"Hurry and leave..."
Wang Fan was kneeling on the ground, his legs numb.
Realizing something was wrong, his chubby face twisted in distress: "Brother... my leg cramped up... it's numb!"
Su Yun: "Shit..."
Without hesitation, he ran toward Fatty Wang Fan.
He had just grabbed hold of Fatty Wang Fan. Before they could stand up... *Boom!*
The huge Dragon-Severing Stone, like a meteor, crashed down!
Instantly, the massive cave... was split in two...
