Gu Ning’s sight fell on Du Shouyang. “Just because you don’t believe that there is a moving body in this world doesn’t mean that there isn’t. Your older brother really was killed by a moving body. I saw it with my own eyes.”
Du Shouyang still refused to believe it. “You’re a member of their group, so you naturally will defend them.”
Not only Du Shouyang, but the others who were with him didn’t believe it either. It was quite understandable because it was very hard for modern people to believe in ghosts and monsters.
Since they didn’t believe it, Gu Ning had no plan to explain further. However, she stared at Du Shouyang icily and warned him. “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. However, if you dare to hurt Li Maosong and his friends, I’ll throw you into jail and you’ll stay there forever.”
Meeting Gu Ning’s sharp gaze, Du Shouyang’s body trembled in fear, and he could hardly breathe. Even his partners felt the pressure from Gu Ning, which made them think that this young girl wasn’t simple at all.
“Now, disappear!” Gu Ning said.
Although Du Shouyang wanted to kill Li Maosong, he failed, and Gu Ning couldn’t kill them all. She didn’t want to be sentenced to jail after all.
Du Shouyang was reluctant to leave but didn’t dare stay here either. Besides, his wrist was injured and he had to go to the hospital right away. After that, a group of them escaped.
When they were gone, Li Maosong thanked Gu Ning with sincerity. “Miss Gu, thank you so much for rescuing us again!”
“Indeed! Miss Gu, thank you so much!” the other three men said.
“Miss Gu, you’re our lifesaver. If you need our help in the future, feel free to let us know, and we’ll spare no effort to help you,” Li Maosong said seriously.
“Yes,” the others echoed.
When Gu Ning met them again, she had thought to hire them. Since they showed their kindness towards her on their own initiative, Gu Ning, of course, wouldn’t deny it.
“Great. If I need your help in the future, I’ll let you know,” Gu Ning said.
“No problem!” Li Maosong and the others said. In their eyes, it was an honor if Gu Ning turned to them for help.
“Oh, Miss Gu, you must be here to find the ancient grave too, right? Those experts have searched several mountains in vain, and we also have searched around this mountain, but found nothing. Maybe there is no ancient grave at all,” Li Maosong said.
“However, if there is no ancient grave, why did some people pick antiques up here?” Zhao Jiangquan still believed there had to be an ancient grave around this place.
“It is hard to tell, but since we’re already here, let’s go find it!” Gu Ning said.
“You’re right. Miss Gu, would you mind joining us? If we find it, we can share the antiques by halves,” Li Maosong said. Although it wasn’t fair because Gu Ning was alone while they had four people in the team, they didn’t mind.
Li Maosong added, “However, if any weird things happen like last time, please help us as always, Miss Gu.”
Gu Ning was surprised by Li Maosong’s generosity, but since he was willing to do so, she wouldn’t reject it. As for Li Maosong’s request for help, Gu Ning agreed. “Don’t worry. Since we’re a team now, I’ll do my best to protect you.”

Afterward, Gu Ning joined Li Maosong and his friends to search for the ancient grave.
Although Li Maosong and his friends had searched around this mountain, Gu Ning still wanted to look around again on her own. After she didn’t find anything on that mountain with her Jade Eyes, she left with Li Maosong and the other men.
“All the nearby mountains have been searched, and we still found nothing. Maybe the ancient grave is in a farther mountain!” Zhao Jiangquan said.
“If we still can’t find it, the antiques could have been dug out already by others before us,” Guo Yiyang said. He seemed upset because they had encountered such situations many times before.
“Do you have a map?” Gu Ning asked.
“Sure,” Sun Chao said. He took out the map and a picture at once. “This is the map, and this is the full view of Nanshui Village we took from a plane when we came here.”
Gu Ning checked the map and the picture. Zhao Jiangquan immediately used the flashlight of his phone to light for Gu Ning. Even though Gu Ning didn’t need it, she didn’t say anything in order to not expose her secret.
She looked at the picture first. There were some mountains which were marked with red spots on it, which meant they had already searched for them. And those mountains without red spots were far away from Nanshui Village.
After a while, a place attracted Gu Ning’s attention. It was the temple of Nanshui Village.
Somehow, Gu Ning had a feeling that the ancient grave could be under the temple.
“Well, since we’re going to search for the ancient grave, why don’t we have a look in the temple?” Gu Ning said.
The temple? Nobody thought that the ancient grave could be in the temple because the temple was located right beside the village. Besides, people picked antiques up in the opposite direction of the temple, so nobody had searched it. However, since Gu Ning proposed to give it a try, Li Maosong and the others would follow her without a doubt. Then, the group of them walked to the temple together.
Even though Gu Ning had the sense that the ancient grave could be around the temple, she wasn’t completely sure. Therefore, she used her Jade Eyes along the way while they walked towards it. It took them nearly two hours of walking before they finally got there. It was 9 pm, which was a great time for gravediggers to start to work.
The temple was built at an altitude of two hundred meters, halfway to the top of the mountain. Except for the stairs which were the only access to the temple, there were only trees around it.
Normally, graves were in flat ground or low mountains, so gravediggers seldom climbed so high to search for an ancient grave.
Gu Ning and the others climbed the mountain, searching for the ancient grave.
Half an hour later, when they were only ten meters away from the temple, they smelled the disgusting stench of a corpse.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes looking in the direction of the acrid smell. There was a large piece of rock 20 meters away from them, and a half-rotten body was lying right under it. Most of it was covered by small scattered rocks.
The body was dressed in a common style. It wasn’t a monk, but it could be a tourist.
Gu Ning looked deeper with her Jade Eyes, and a round black hole appeared in her sight. Gu Ning was excited. Although she wasn’t sure that it was a grave hole, it was highly possible. If it was a grave hole, the body had to be a gravedigger.
Anyway, she decided to have a look.
