Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

At night, Zhang Qiling kept guarding outside Zhang Hanyan's door. He wanted Zhang Hanyan to take him with her when she went to the Elders' Council. He wanted to see the method she mentioned to make Qingsong speak.

Creak—Zhang Hanyan quietly opened the door and tiptoed out of the room.

"Han Yan."

The sudden sound almost made Zhang Hanyan, who was feeling guilty, scream out in surprise. She looked at Zhang Qiling who came out from behind the shade of the tree, and the anger that was surging in her heart instantly disappeared.

"Hehe, little brother, why are you not sleeping so late at night?"

Zhang Qiling looked at her silently, then walked over and stood beside her. "I'm waiting for you. I want to see the method you mentioned."

"You..." Zhang Hanyan looked at his determined expression and knew that she couldn't escape. If she wanted to go, she had to take him with her.

Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to slip away from under his nose.

"Okay then, I'll take you with me, but! We agreed in advance that no matter what you see, you must not make any noise."

Zhang Qiling reached out and held the fingers she extended, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zhang Hanyan calmly pulled out her hand and looked at the moon hidden in the dark clouds.

"Then let's go, the sooner we go the sooner we can return."

The two of them easily dodged the patrols and approached the gate of the Elders' House. They stopped at the gate. Zhang Hanyan took out two talismans from his pocket and handed one of them to Zhang Qiling.

"Here, this is an invisibility charm. Once you put this on, no one can see you. Don't be afraid!"

Zhang Qiling looked at the talisman in his hand over and over again with doubt. He couldn't believe that there was such a magical thing in the world.

"Brother, stop looking, look at me!"

He looked up and saw Zhang Hanyan, who was talking to him the moment before, disappeared in front of him the next second.

"Han Yan..."

Zhang Qiling cried out softly. Zhang Hanyan’s disappearance made him feel inexplicably panicked.

"I'm here." Zhang Hanyan took off the talisman on her shoulder and looked at him with a smile, "It's okay, I'm always here."

As she spoke, she took out a red rope and tied it around the wrists of the two people, tying a knot at each end to ensure that it would not fall off.

"After we use the invisibility charm, we won't be able to see each other. As long as we have this rope, we won't be separated. Okay, let's go in!"

After confirming the firmness of the knot, Zhang Qiling followed Zhang Hanyan's example and stuck the talisman on his left shoulder.

"Little brother, remember not to make any noise. If anything happens, pull the rope."

"Yeah. I know."

Zhang Hanyan avoided the bronze bells and silk threads arranged around the Elders' House and walked slowly inside with light steps.

Zhang Qiling easily kept up with Zhang Hanyan's pace by pulling the rope in the direction. Although the two could not see each other, the red rope kept them tightly connected.

The two stopped in front of Qingsong's door. Zhang Hanyan gently pulled Zhang Qiling's little finger along the red rope. After the two determined the direction of movement, they jumped into the room together through the open window.

Zhang Hanyan looked around the room. Apart from Qingsong who was lying unconscious on the bed, there was no one in the room to take care of him.

Even the charcoal brazier in front of the bed was about to go out, and the cold wind blew in through the window, making the whole room feel like an ice cellar.

She pulled Zhang Qiling closer to Qingsong's bed and waved her hand to set up a small barrier around the room.

With this barrier, they can remove the invisibility talisman and just move around. No matter what sound they make, no one outside will know.

"Brother, take off the invisibility charm. It's okay. They won't know we are in this room."

Zhang Qiling took the talisman as he was told, and the two of them appeared in front of each other.

He looked around vigilantly, and even though he had confirmed that there was no one around, he still didn't dare to do anything rash.

His nervous look made Zhang Hanyan laugh. She smiled, patted his shoulder and spoke soothingly.

"It's okay. I put something like a barrier around the bed. No matter what we do, people outside can't see us.

Now, I have to wake up the Second Elder first. Only by waking him up can we know about Master."

Zhang Qiling looked at Qingsong with a serious face, drew out the dagger he carried with him and stood beside him to prevent him from waking up and doing anything extreme.

[Host, you better be careful. You have tortured him for two years. I am afraid that the first thing he will do when he wakes up is to take revenge on you.]

I won't give him that chance!

Zhang Hanyan recited the spell and formed seals with his hands. The red light in his hands gathered more and more. The light was soft, clear, and hazy like mist.

She turned her palm over and waved it over the sleeping Qingsong. The red light gradually enveloped his body and seeped into him bit by bit.

Zhang Qiling was stunned by what he saw. This was the first time he saw Zhang Hanyan perform her magic in front of him.

The red light disappeared for just a moment, and Qingsong's sunken eyes slowly opened.

"Zhang Hanyan? Zhang Qiling? Why are you here? Are you trapped as well?"

Qingsong was stunned for a long time before he realized that this was in his own room, not the ice and fire purgatory that tortured him day and night.

“I’m out? Hahahaha, I…I’m really out!!!”

Zhang Hanyan calmly looked at Qingsong, who looked excited and crazy. She silently took out the bronze spike that had been used to curse him before and handed it to him.

"Answer my questions honestly, otherwise, I will send you to the place that tortures you all the time again!"

Qingsong forced himself to suppress his excitement. When he saw the runes on the bronze cone clearly, he remembered what Zhang Hanyan had just said.

"You said, send me back? The one who cursed me... is you!"

He looked at Zhang Hanyan in disbelief, unable to believe that her abilities had become so powerful that she could easily control a person's life and death.

If she wants you to live, you can live; if she wants you to die, you can only die. Of course, there is another situation, which is like Qingsong, enduring torture day and night, and living a life worse than death!

"Yes, it's me." Zhang Hanyan casually stroked the runes on the bronze spike. She looked at him coldly and put the spike against his neck.

"Tell me! When will my master come back? How do you usually communicate?"

Qingsong smiled arrogantly, raised his hand to wave away the sharp weapon against his neck, and looked at Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling indifferently.

"So, this is your purpose today? Zhang Yecheng, huh... Does he know that the two wolf cubs he raised care about him so much? Hmm?"
