I finally understand what the Yan local scholars are so eager to find, the so-called "Xianmen".

After traveling with the scholars for half a month in search of the sword, we arrived at a green mountain on the border of Yan and Zhao.

It turns out that Xianmen is a graveyard!

Xu Madam's sword is actually to be found in her own tomb!

Watching these scholars skillfully take out various tools and start locating the tomb, excavating the graveyard, I felt the urge to retreat.

But at this moment, I only managed to ask half of the questions in the letter indirectly. If I were to leave now, it would be a wasted effort, which would be a pity.

I had no choice but to brace myself and follow them into the dark underground tomb.

Why do people step from the light into darkness step by step?

Perhaps the scholars are doing it for the promised reward from the Yan Prince.

I am doing it in search of a cultivation method.

In the end, it's all because of greed.

Longing for something that originally doesn't belong to oneself.

And within this "Xianmen" of Xu Madam, I witnessed the terrifying nature of greed for the first time.

But little did I know, as I took each fearful step into the cave, that once a person steps into darkness, they can never find their way back.

Alas.
