The Royal Tomb Forest is located in the western suburbs of Shengming City. It is a vast mountain ridge. From a distance, it is pitch black and yin.

There are layers of dark clouds above the tomb forest, completely obscuring the stars.

Before the Central Empire of Shengming was destroyed, the royal family tomb forest was always a forbidden area, with heavy troops guarding it, and no monk could ever get closer.

Eight hundred years have passed, and outside the tomb forest, there are snow and fallen leaves, and weeds, giving people a feeling of dilapidated and depressed.

In fact, the Imperial City Tomb Forest is not just a forbidden area, it is also a forbidden place for murder.

The ancestors of the Zhang family of the royal family used emperor-level means to arrange more than one imperial-level formation in the tomb forest to protect the tombs of emperors of all dynasties.

When the Holy Ming City was captured, there were creatures in the holy realm who wanted to break into the royal tomb forest and steal treasures from the tomb.

However, without exception, after breaking in, none of them could come out alive.

As the prince of the Central Empire of the Holy Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ruochen naturally knew how to enter the royal tomb forest. He could avoid the attack of the formation by following some special lines.

"You must follow me immediately and don't make any mistakes, otherwise you will cause big trouble." Zhang Ruochen reminded him.

Walking into the mountains where the royal family tombs are located, the air becomes even colder. In some areas, ghost fires fly out from the ground and turn into skeletons, dragons, snakes, and soldiers.

"That's not an ordinary ghost fire, it's the flame condensed from an emperor-level formation. Even if the creatures in the holy realm are stained with a little bit, they will immediately burn to ashes."

Hearing this, the four legs of the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit were trembling, and felt their legs weak. They were so scared that they followed the rules and did not dare to take a wrong step.

The area occupied by the royal tomb forest is quite vast and boundless. Zhang Ruochen and others walked dozens of miles in a row, but they still only walked a small corner area.

The surrounding mountains, gullies and jungles are silent, which is in sharp contrast to the prosperous scene of Shengming City.

Suddenly, the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit screamed, which shocked everyone to stop immediately.

"What's going on?"

The holy energy in Zhang Ruochen's body surged rapidly, and he pinched out his palm prints with both hands, showing a defensive posture.

The Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit pointed at a distance and said, "There are footprints on the ground."

Qing Mo let out a breath. Just now, she was also very nervous, thinking that she had encountered some danger.

"Guanguo is just a few footprints. Don't make a fuss. You are almost scared to death."

Qingmo stuck out his tongue and pinched the ears of the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit, almost lifting it up.

However, Zhang Ruochen did not relax his vigilance and walked to the footprints and observed carefully.

The surroundings are full of trees and dense branches and leaves, so the footprints are not covered with snow.

"The footprints are still very fresh. It should be that someone has come in in the past two days. Who is it, and how can you enter the royal tomb forest?"

The footprints are big and small, and the depths vary. They do not come from the same person, obviously they are not Kong Lanyou.

"Everyone be careful. I guess some other people broke into the royal tomb forest." Zhang Ruochen's face was quite serious.

You should know that the royal family tomb forest can definitely be regarded as a forbidden place for murder. The people who can avoid the formation of emperors and break into this place are definitely not ordinary people.

The group continued to move forward.

Not long after, they found blood on the ground, and there was a battle here not long ago.

The nose of the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit sniffed hard, rushed to an open area, threw away the thick snow, and dug out a lot of soil.

Six corpses were actually dug out below the soil.

The six corpses were burned black by flames and turned into charred corpses, like six human-shaped charcoal.

Zhang Ruochen walked to one of the corpses and used the ancient sword of Shenyuan to scrape the outer layer of the charred corpse to expose the bones inside.

The bones actually have metallic luster, extremely hard, and a stream of pure holy energy flows out. It can be seen that when they are alive, they must have a very powerful cultivation level.

"Huh!"

Zhang Ruochen has a new appearance.

There are some strange patterns on the skeleton of the corpse, emitting a faint golden light.

Huang Yanchen said: "That is a corpse pattern. Only monks from the ancient corpse-driven corpse and the Zen monks know how to burn it. Carving the corpse pattern on the bones, membranes, and meridians of the corpse can refine powerful battle corpses."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were a little gloomy, and he scraped away the burnt flesh of the other five charred corpses, and also showed corpse patterns on the bones.

"They should be war corpses refined by the ancient tribe of driving away the corpse."

Zhang Ruochen once saw the "Die Zen Buddhism" of the Death Zen Buddhism. The corpse patterns recorded on it have a kind of Buddhist rhyme, which is completely different from the corpse patterns on the six charred corpses on the ground.

The ancient tribe of corpse driving has a profound background, is proficient in many ancient secret techniques, can enter and exit various dangerous relics, and steal the corpses of ancestors of major families.

Only by using the stronger corpse can one refine the more powerful corpse.

The ancient tribe of the corpse-driving tribe not only robbed the tomb of the Great Sage, but it is said that at their peak, they even broke into the tomb of an ancient god and took away half of the corpse.

"Is it because the ancient tribes of driving corpses broke into the royal family's tomb forest. Is it because they wanted to steal the corpses of the Ming emperors of the Central Empire of the Holy Ming Dynasty?"

There is nothing else except the emperor's corpse. It is worth driving the ancient tribe of corpse out of such a great danger and break into the royal family's tomb.

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists tightly, and two balls of anger surged in his eyes.

The foul spirits of ancestors should not be disturbed by others. The corpse of ancestors should not become other people's combat puppets.

What the ancient tribe of the corpse-driving tribe is obviously more hateful than the Lingxiao Tianwang Mansion.

Huang Yanchen said: "The six battle corpses on the ground should be made of the corpses of holy creatures, but they were burned to pieces by a kind of flame. From this we can see that there should be an extremely powerful tomb guard in the royal tomb forest."

"Gravekeeper?"

Zhang Ruochen thought of Kong Lanyou at the first time.

Of course, it is also possible, it is not Kong Lanyou.

With Kong Lanyou's cultivation level, if he really takes action, the six battle corpses may have turned into ashes. How could they be preserved so completely?

Moreover, there was no breath left by Kong Lanyou on the bodies of the six battle corpses.

Zhang Ruochen asked the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape to bury the six charred corpses again, and said, "Only six damaged war corpses have been found, but no monks from the ancient tribe have been found. Where have they gone?" "Not necessarily... they have escaped from the royal tomb forest." Qing Mo said carefully.

"If that's the case, it's naturally the best." Zhang Ruochen said.

Zhang Ruochen had already secretly recorded the accounts of the ancient tribe who drove away the corpse. He actually dared to attack the ancestors of the Zhang family and would have to pay some price no matter what.

Continue moving forward, everyone's vision finally became a little wider.

I saw huge stone tablets and dense tombs between the mountains and ridges.

Some of the tombs are even taller than mountains, emitting a terrifying power. The yin energy released in the tombs condenses into clouds, forming purple, silver, and golden light.

Zhang Ruochen walked through a blue stone bridge and walked towards a shorter tomb.

Even though it is relatively short, it is dozens of feet tall and is made of huge stones.

In front of the tomb, there is an ancient stone tablet, which is hundreds of feet high. Zhang Ruochen stood under the stone tablet, as big as a speck of dust.

On the back of the stele, there is an inscription engraved.

On the front of the stone tablet, there are only two vigorous and powerful words - Houling.

No exact name.

In front of the monument is an empty square with no fallen leaves on the ground and the falling snowflakes did not completely cover the bluestone. It is obvious that someone had just cleaned it.

"My mother, my child is unfilial and hasn't seen you for eight hundred years."

Zhang Ruochen knelt on the ground and bowed to the tomb.

Huang Yanchen walked to Zhang Ruochen's right, knelt down, and bowed together.

Behind them, Qingmo, the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit, and the Demon Ape, all had a solemn eyes, knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the tomb.

Not far away, at the edge of the square, under a sycamore tree with a diameter of two meters, a beautiful woman with a white head walked out of the tree hole.

It was Kong Lanyou.

Kong Lanyou's eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen kneeling in the center of the square. His beautiful and moving eyes had an extremely complex emotion, and crystal tears flowed out.

Even though she had received a letter from Zhang Ruochen long ago and knew that he was still alive, she was still worried about gains and losses, and was very afraid that the letter was forged by someone else.

Therefore, Kong Lanyou had been waiting in front of his aunt's tomb and never left a step.

Only when he saw Zhang Ruochen enter the royal tomb forest and kneel in front of his aunt's tomb could he be sure that he was his cousin and he was still alive.

After Zhang Ruochen worshipped his mother, he stood up again, looked at the edge of the square, and stared at Kong Lanyou.

The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit widened her eyes, and first she was so scared that she trembled all over, but then she pretended to be calm and said, "Someone actually broke into the royal tomb forest. Master Chen, please retreat first, let me go and meet her for a while." The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit did not dare to deal with Kong Lanyou alone, so she dragged the Demon Ape on her.

Walking opposite Kong Lanyou, the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit's claws pinched his fists, and a demonic aura radiated all over his body, and he shouted coldly: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Kong Lanyou said nothing, and his pair of sad and beautiful eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen who was constantly walking towards her, tears dripping down like pearl curtains.

"If you think I can't do anything to you if I don't speak? You are forcing me to take action!"

The Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit did not dare to take action personally, so he pushed the Demon Ape and asked it to test Kong Lanyou's cultivation.

The demon ape roared, rushed forward, stretched out a huge palm, and slapped Kong Lanyou's head.

"Boom."

The Demon Ape was like a huge ball, hitting an invisible wall, flying backwards and falling on the square with a bang.

Kong Lanyou was still standing there.

The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit took a breath of cold air, her teeth trembled, and realized that the deal was a tough character, so she immediately stepped back.

"Mr. Chen, that's a master, what should I do?" The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit was about to run away immediately.
