Could it be because of the martial arts secret scripts?

Xiao Mu couldn't help but guess.

If it were because of the martial arts secret scripts, it would make sense. Whether it is for Yin spirits or the evil absurdity, martial arts secret scripts are absolutely a great supplement. Consuming them could improve strength.

Have so many Yin spirit tombstones been destroyed just for a martial arts secret script?

Xiao Mu didn't think it was likely, there might be other factors involved.

If it were just a single secret script, it wouldn't seem worth putting on such a grand show.

Moreover, just a single secret script certainly wouldn't involve so many Yin spirits.

Xiao Mu continued to look down, regretfully, he didn't find any other clues amongst the shattered tombstones.

"Mr. Xiao, have you found anything?"

Zhao Yan sensitively approached Xiao Mu and asked.

"You have a look."

Handing the small piece of paper to Zhao Yan, Xiao Mu spoke.

"Martial arts secret script!"

Zhao Yan's face immediately showed surprise as she held the small paper.

Anyone who has practiced martial arts scripts would guess what this energy-filled paper is.

"What martial arts secret script is this?"

Wang Tong curiously inquired.

"It's just a fragment."

Zhao Yan casually handed the small piece of paper to Wang Tong and turned towards Xiao Mu. "Mr. Xiao, it seems there isn't just an aimless battle between the evil absurdity and the Yin spirits."

Xiao Mu nodded, "Besides the martial arts secret script, there might be other reasons. If there's just a single martial arts secret script, it doesn't seem to warrant such grand attention."

Zhao Yan suggested, "There might be other treasures."

Both of them came up with the idea at the same moment. As they said it out loud, they looked at each other and saw the excitement on each other's faces.

"Let's look around, there might be important things left behind, missed by the evil absurdity."

Xiao Mu immediately said.

His words were not spoken without cause. The logic was simple, if all the items were found, the evil absurdity may not be willing to destroy the tombstones out of rage.

From the scene, it seemed that after their defeat, the Yin spirits that were engaged in battle with the evil absurdity were probably taken away.

With the Yin spirits captured, the destruction of the tombstones is unimportant.

Destruction of tombstones to a large extent may be due to the venting of anger.

The purpose of this venting, needless to say, must be because the evil absurdity failed to achieve its objective, or else it would not be so infuriated.

"If there are clues, they should be in the ancient tomb area."

Zhao Yan was quick to comment.

The three of them once again drove the off-road vehicle back towards the ancient tomb. The Wrangler had excellent performance, was easily able to climb the hillside, and quickly ascended from this side of the hillside, entering an open area.

Ahead was the ancient tomb area.

Seeing the state of the ancient tomb from a distance, Xiao Mu's face darkened.

Something had happened at the ancient tomb. The tombstones they had seen before probably came from the graves here.

Many graves were dug up, the coffins were broken, and the tombstones were missing.

In addition, a variety of destroyed paper humans, paper horses, paper sedan chairs, etc., lay scattered next to many graves.

During the battle, these funeral goods were also involved and destroyed by the evil absurdity.

The trio got out of the car to look around and quickly made new discoveries.

To Xiao Mu's surprise, despite many graves having been dug up and coffins broken, the bodies inside the coffins did not suffer any damage.

Why was this the case?

Could it be?

Xiao Mu slightly furrowed his eyebrows, guessing in his heart.

The evil absurdity would certainly not be so kind as to leave the bodies of the Yin spirits undamaged during the attack.

Leaving the corpses means that the strength of the Yin spirits will not be weakened.

On the contrary, even powerful Yin spirits, once their bodies are destroyed, have to return to their original state and become wandering ghosts again, except for those that are officially canonized.

It seemed that these bodies were deliberately left by the evil absurdity.

Intentionally leaving the bodies to preserve the strength of the Yin spirits, could it be...?

Xiao Mu quickly made a guess.

The evil absurdity would not do this for no reason; it must be benefiting in some way.

This kind of benefit, could it mean sacrificing the Yin spirits?

By sacrificing the Yin spirits, the evil absurdity can obtain the most benefits from the bodies of the Yin spirits and enhance its strength. Many evil absurdities would choose to do so.

Xiao Mu specifically jumped into several graves to check, and in a few of them, he discovered traces of treasures.

Any kind of treasure would give off an aura. Even if it was just a regular martial arts secret script, it would have some residual energy.

As for special treasures, magic ones, for example, they would leave a very obvious trace.

"There are not just secret scripts, but also energy fruits."

A spark of surprise flashed across Xiao Mu's face, bringing a sense of joy and regret.

He was surprised to find traces of secret scripts and energy fruits here but regretted that these energy fruits and secret scripts might have been just consumed by the evil absurdity.

Huh? This is…?

In one of the graves, Xiao Mu made a new discovery.

It was residual evil energy.

This meant that some sort of evil zombie had been in this grave before.

Were the Yin spirits battling with zombies rather than evil ghosts?

In wild and deserted places, the chances of encountering zombies are much higher than encountering evil ghosts.

This let Xiao Mu confirm his guess.

At this moment, he had partially guessed the cause and effect.

If there were no surprises, there should have been some treasure appearing here in the ancient tomb area and it must have been discovered by the zombies.

Zombies, after finding the trace of the treasure, came to grab it, which finally led to resistance from the Yin spirits.

Yin spirits, being weaker than zombies, used their tombstones as weapons to fight.

After the battle, the Yin spirits eventually were defeated, with their tombstones being broken by the zombies out of anger as they were captured.

In order to search for the treasures, zombies dug open many graves, finding martial arts secret scripts and energy fruits.

So, what exactly is the so-called treasure that made the zombies take the initiative to find it?

Xiao Mu felt that even though the zombies found martial arts secret scripts and energy fruits in the graves, the reason that attracted them here may not be these two things.

It was clear that the zombies had found both the martial arts secret scripts and energy fruits only after defeating the Yin spirits and digging up the graves.

If it wasn't the energy fruits or martial arts secret scripts, then what was it?

Simultaneously guessing and continuing to move forward, Xiao Mu inspected one grave after another.

Huh!

One grave in front caught Xiao Mu's attention. Compared to other graves, this grave was obviously more splendid. Judging from the size of the coffin and the funeral goods scattered around, the person in this coffin was no ordinary person.

This is...

One of the funerary items caught Xiao Mu's attention. He jumped down and picked it up.

Upon careful examination, Xiao Mu's eyes lit up.

It was an official seal, the seal of a county officer. It was the official seal of a county in the Ming Dynasty.
