Chapter 301 - 166: Paperman Funeral, Old Friends at Rest (Part 3)
Suppressing the odd feeling in his heart, Xu Qing rearranged the small grave in front of him, then released the burial team of papermen.
After completing all this, Xu Qing returned to the seemingly ordinary tomb and began to test the control distance of the papermen step by step.
Inside the tomb, Xu Qing held Hu Baosong’s ancestral map in his hand, like a commander in a war tent maneuvering troops, remotely directing the papermen to carry the coffin deep into the Ancient Yin River Dao.
Occasionally, ghost soldiers patrolling the Ghost King Mausoleum would block the way, but the leading Straw Spirit did not force its way through, instead scattering paper treasures and yin wealth along the route as toll payment.
Ghost soldiers who understood the rules would naturally make way upon receiving benefits; should there be any greedy ghosts wanting to rob, the thirty-two Straw Spirits guarding the coffin were certainly not to be trifled with.
However, the burial team was still on the outskirts of the Ancient Yin River Dao; if they wished to go further, they could only take a detour.
The reconnaissance Paper Cranes explored the path ahead, while the papermen burial team hoisted white paper lanterns, inscribed with "Yin soldiers escorting, living beings retreat."
After traversing roughly two hundred miles, Xu Qing and the papermen’s connection suddenly weakened.
Inside the tomb, Xu Qing looked at the tomb marker on the map that was already visible from afar and frowned slightly.
The Ancient Yin River Dao is like an invisible dry riverbed running through Dayong north to south, with the location of the Hu Yang tomb being relatively near the Jin Sect, yet it’s still nearly five hundred miles away.
