"Zhang Chulan?"

"You're finally here!"

Wang Ye looked back and saw two figures appear on the stone wall, a man and a woman.

The man's hair is tied into a four-leaf clover at the back of his head. He usually wears casual clothes, a white T-shirt with a Tai Chi pattern printed on the chest.

The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, looked a bit sloppy, her clothes were very casually matched, she had messy long hair, her eyes were dull, and her face was expressionless.

But if you look closely, you'll discover that there's an occasional glimmer of wit in those dull eyes.

Zhang Chulan pointed his thumb behind him and said with a smile, "Not only us, but also that bastard. Besides us, we also met three new friends."

Six figures were seen with great skill, jumping down directly from the stone wall. Hu Bayi and the others were people who had obtained Qi after all, so they naturally did not underestimate the stone wall which was several meters high.

Zhang Chulan even turned into a flash of lightning and rushed down. Under him, the team of four officially joined the battle!

Wu Sansheng looked at the people who came over and frowned even more, because these people were not in the plan!

Who are they?

Which force does it represent?
Just when Wu Sanxing was frowning, Wu Xie stepped forward and asked calmly, "Today, everything in the world is sad. It is because the mountains are crossing the sea, the blue sky and blue water are covered by clouds, and the colorful clouds fall into this mountain and bloom."

"I wonder which mountain you are visiting, and which path you are taking? If you are traveling with me, please tell me your name!"

What Wu Xie said was the slang of the Outlaws, which was to ask about the origins of the people in front of him. These were introduced in great detail in the Fa Qiu inheritance, and Wu Xie also learned some of them.

He guessed that if the people in front of him were the unexpected events mentioned by the unknown being, then the Fa Qiu inheritance he had obtained might be useful at some point.

Just like now.

This kind of incision is also called asking about the mountain. For example, the street performers are called Moon Mountain; bandits are called Changsheng Mountain; carpenters and ink workers are called Black Water Mountain.

Each industry and profession has its own mountain, totaling thirty-six big mountains and seventy-two small mountains.

Hu Bayi and the others looked at each other. Hu Bayi now had the tomb-touching talisman and the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique, so he could barely be considered a half-heir of the tomb-touching school.

Hu Bayi then stepped forward, clasped his fists and answered: "The Eight Trigrams are worth a fortune, the geomancers are looking for the stars, there are seventy-two famous mountains in the world, only my Dragon Tower reaches the sky!"

Then Fatty Wang stepped forward and said, "He was born with great ambitions and was born to be the most powerful person in the Three Wus. He robbed tombs and proclaimed himself the king, and he drew up a map of the territory with a smile."

[After Wang Pangzi left the Dragon Ridge Cave, he practiced the Six Treasury Immortal Thief method, and became increasingly powerful. He won the favor of Chen Yulou, and obtained his Little Divine Sword and the inheritance of the Dragon Ridge Cave.]

Finally, Shirley Yang also clasped her fists: "Colorful clouds are below and mountains are above, Gaihu crosses the sea and two mountains are long, move to Baishan to show the treasure, stay in Heishan to pray for health!"

Wu Xie immediately understood what was going on. With the skills of tomb raiding, hilltop removal and mountain moving, plus the Fa Qiu inheritance he had obtained, this small Lu Palace actually brought together all four factions of thieves.

Then he looked at the other four people.

Feng Baobao then whispered to Zhang Chulan's ear: "Zhang Chulan, do you understand what they are saying?"

The corner of Zhang Chulan's mouth twitched. He had never learned these jargons of the Shan Jing, so how could he understand them?
However, Zhang Chulan was also smart. In order not to weaken his momentum, he compiled a set of mountain classics.

"Danshan has been here for thousands of years, and dragons and tigers gather at the North Pole. The clear water is a place of eternal purity, and Dachi practices Taoism and enjoys immortality."

Wu Xie was a little confused after hearing this Shan Jing. Could it be that my Fa Qiu heritage has not been updated and is out of touch with the times?

Fortunately, I still know some of the words in it. The dragon and the tiger are divided into yin and yang, and yin and yang converge at the North Pole. It refers to Taoist people, who implicitly regard themselves as immortals. The Great Red Heaven is the holy land where the Supreme Taoist Ancestor resides!
Wu Xie followed suit, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "So you are the seven top Yuanliangs!"

Hu Bayi immediately said modestly: "There is no Yuanliang, carrying firewood in the mountains and burning fire in the mountains. May I ask where this top Yuanliang has divided the mountain armor and how many gates he has disassembled?"

[Wu You (I don't dare to be called) Yuan Liang, I carry firewood in the mountains and burn firewood in the mountains (a skill passed down from ancestors), I would like to ask this top Yuan Liang, where did you get the mountain armor (where did you rob tombs? What is the range of activities?), how many Qiumen did you dismantle? (What dynasty's ancient tomb mechanism is your best at cracking?)]

Wu Xie shook his head, also modestly: "A river has two sides, the same is true of carrying firewood on the mountain and burning fire on the mountain. Partridges distinguish between pangolins and kites. Many have climbed the palace, but no dragon tower is found."

[A river has different scenery on both sides (taokou, meaning that although they are on different sides and far apart, they are in the same industry after all), and they both carry firewood in the mountain and make fire at the foot of the mountain (both are skills passed down from ancestors).

The partridge (which goes everywhere, also means in all directions, all over the world) divides the pangolins, and the kite (which means from ancient times to the present, also means from top to bottom, from front to back) solves the Qiumen.

Many times I have climbed the treasure hall, but I can't find the dragon tower (a trap, if you don't understand Feng Shui, you can't find the dragon tower or treasure hall by yourself. Even if you pass by an ancient tomb, you may not be able to find it. You can only do needle work, and you must know the exact target to fall.

Dragon Tower, the towering mountain is called Dragon Tower, and Treasure Hall, the majestic and flat mountain is called Treasure Hall. The Dragon Tower and Treasure Hall together refer to a super-large ancient tomb with luxurious burial objects.)

Finally, Hu Bayi said: "The black dragon lifted the treasure canopy, the mountains were moved and the hills opened to reveal the cave, the stars suddenly opened, and the Big Dipper gathered the southern light."

The general meaning is that we all make a living by working in the tomb-robbing business, and since we have bumped into each other, there must be a first come first served. We are the latecomers, so we dare not take advantage of others, so we'll just give them some convenience and leave.

After talking about this, Wu Xie understood the identities of the people in front of him. The cute girl was obviously in the same group as Zhang Chulan and they were inseparable, so there was no need to ask any more questions.

At this time, Wu Sansheng was not angry because of Wu Xie's unauthorized remarks. Instead, he pulled Wu Xie over with some surprise and asked, "Nephew, where did you learn to wear this cotton jacket and trousers?"

Wu Xie laughed and just said that he had read it in a book and found it interesting so he memorized it.

Now, only Wang Ye and Wang Zhenqiu have not introduced themselves.

Wang Ye and Wang Zhenqiu looked at each other, nodded, and then said:

"The leader of the Qi family of the Nine Gates is here, Wang Ye, greets you all!"

"The leader of the Jiumen Hong Clan is now here, Wang Zhenqiu, greeting you all!"

Wu Sanxing was a little shocked when he heard this. Because the people in front of him were speaking the Shan Jing in jargon, although he didn't understand it very well, he could guess most of it.

No matter how powerful the four great thieves' gangs were, that was in the past and could not affect anything.

But it just so happened that now two of the nine gates' leaders had appeared, and Wu Sanxing couldn't help but think deeply about it.

You know, the heads of the Qi family and the Hong family now live far away overseas and rarely interfere in the affairs of the Nine Gates. Now suddenly two people in charge have appeared. I wonder what the Qi family and the Hong family are going to do?
While Wu Sanxing was still looking at Wang Ye and Wang Zhenqiu, Wu Xie smiled and said, "Since we are in the same business, we are all guests to the tomb owner, so why don't we set up a pot together?"

After saying that, they looked at the seven people in front of them.

Zhang Chulan and Hu Bayi, as the leaders of the group, looked at each other and nodded. Naturally, there was no reason to leave the treasure mountain empty.

Wu Sansheng snorted, rolled his eyes at Wu Xie, and whispered, "You are so kind, but you are just touching my lips. You should get at least 50% of the profits, maybe even the lion's share."

Wu Xie said softly to Wu Sanxing: "Uncle San, these people in front of us are not simple, it is better not to hurt the harmony, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!" "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Wu Xie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw his uncle agreed. In his opinion, since these people in front of him were the changes mentioned by the unknown being, it would not be a losing deal to give up some of the interests in advance and make friends with them.

What's more, with his status, knowledge of the three Taoist sects, and true Taoist practice, he is naturally worth the price.

However, because it involved the Nine Gates, Wu Sanxing still wanted to approach them and said to Wang Ye and Wang Zhenqiu, "Two young men, we are all from the Nine Gates, and we are one family, so we don't have to talk about our differences. I wonder how the two old men are doing recently?"

Wang Ye and Wang Zhenqiu had no intention of hiding it, and said jokingly: "The two brothers are naturally in good health. After the master came back, they even ate more rice and meat."

"Senior...brother?"

"And Master?"

At this moment, Wu Sansheng's mind seemed to be hit by a meteorite, and dusty memories suddenly came flooding back.

When he was young, his grandfather once talked to his two brothers about the master that Er Yuehong and Qi Tiezui worshipped. At that time, his father's eyes were full of envy.

It is said that Qi Lao Ba and Hong Lao Er have found a good master. Where can you find such a good thing?
The most intuitive thing is that although they are nearly a hundred years old, they still look so young.

From Wu Laogou, Wu Sanxing learned that their master was an extraordinary man with many miraculous skills, and had deep connections with the Nine Gates, so many people had received his favor.

Master Jie Jiu, Blackback Laoliu, Wu Laogou, Qi Tiezui, Er Yuehong, and even Master Zhang Dafo all saved their lives.

Not to mention other things, let’s just talk about Brother Xiaoman, the beloved one that Old Dog Wu loved most during his lifetime. His ancestor was the alien species that he personally trained when he had nothing to do.

Brother Xiaoman also inherited the blood of his ancestors and can understand the method of changing his body. After his body suddenly grew, he became as strong as an ox, walked as fast as the wind, had bones as hard as steel, and his fur was not afraid of water or fire. His barking was like thunder, and he could scare away the evil spirits in the tomb.

Since the old man passed away, Brother Xiaoman has become the mainstay of the Wu family and he is rarely seen taking action.

Now, that person actually appeared!

This made Wu Sanxing think more about whether the appearance of this person would cause any obstacles to his plans.

While Wang Ye and Wu Sanxing were talking, Zhang Chulan couldn't stay idle. He looked at the blue-eyed fox corpse and was a little surprised: "I didn't expect this thing to still exist?"

"Ok?"

"Have you seen this thing before?" Wu Xie asked curiously.

"Before coming to the Seven Star Lu Palace, Brother Hu and I went to Biaoziling and found a tomb there. In the tomb, we found thousands of blue-eyed fox corpses, like an army."

“Plus, we found an interesting story.”

"Biaoziling?"

Wu Xie was shocked. In the notebook his grandfather passed down to him, there was a bloody corpse tomb in Biaoziling, and his great-grandfather and others died there.

From then on, that tomb became a demon for Wu Laogou.

Zhang Chulan smiled faintly, as if he could see what Wu Xie was thinking, and then said: "The tomb we found is not the blood corpse tomb, but another one."

"Although, after that, we also went down to the bloody tomb."

Zhang Chulan pointed at the blue-eyed fox corpse, and suddenly an object that looked like a blood-red jade sceptre appeared in his hand. He then slowly told a story about the jade sceptre.

"During the Warring States Period, there was a tomb robber named Heng. One day, Heng saw the corpse of a fox in a large tomb. He also found a jade sceptre on the fox's neck."

"At that time, jade products were only used by the royal family and were difficult to sell. He sold the valuable treasures and took the remaining hard-to-sell jade sceptre back home."

"Heng made a little fortune from that tomb-robbing, got married, and built up a family business. Within a year, his wife gave birth to a big fat boy.

"Heng felt that her life was happy and she gradually forgot about being a tomb robber."

"But who would have thought that as his son grew older, he looked more and more like the fox he had seen in the tomb, and fox hair began to grow on his body and face!"

"Heng was anxious and looked for doctors everywhere to treat her son. Until she met a hermit master, who told her that if she wanted to save her son's life, she should put the jade sceptre back to where she got it from!"

"Heng then obediently did as she was told and placed the jade sceptre back into the tomb, on the fox's neck."

"Surprisingly, his son really got better after that, but he had a tuft of fox hair on his face that would never go away."

"This is the story of the so-called Blue-Eyed Fox and the Jade Sceptre. Although it is mostly made up, it is possible that the Jade Sceptre can make a normal person grow a fox face!"

Zhang Chulan tossed the jade sceptre in his hand, then said with a smile: "After our experiments, we found that this jade sceptre can indeed slowly transform a person into a blue-eyed fox, and has the ability to confuse people."

"The tomb we went to seemed to belong to a general. He must have used this jade scepter to create an army of green foxes and was proficient in illusion."

"And this general is King Lu Shang!"

"Would you like to try it?"

Having said that, Zhang Chulan handed the jade sceptre to Wu Xie again, but Wu Xie looked quite fearful and kept waving his hands.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan stopped forcing it.

Even though this jade sceptre is a demonic object, it is still a treasure after all. When the time comes to hand it in, it will be a credit to me.

Zhang Chulan is a cowardly person who is as cautious as can be. After all, this is his first time to go out on a field trip. For his own safety, before coming to this world, he has already learned about the general situation of the world through intelligence from the Heavenly Court.

In his opinion, many of the so-called monsters and ghosts in the tomb-robbing world were created by the forces that have been pursuing immortality since ancient times. Of course, they were also the secret moves and arrangements of "it".

To put it simply, the Queen Mother of the West's corpse-eating pill can make people immortal, but it also comes with extremely strong side effects.

If the transformation fails, it will turn into the monster Jinpo. For example, if the jade figurine given by the Queen Mother of the West to King Mu of Zhou was taken off prematurely without molting nine times, it would turn into a bloody corpse.

There is also the King of Ten Thousand Slaves who lives in symbiosis with centipedes, and many monsters that are half human and half corpse, all of which are closely related to immortality.

Then, Zhang Chulan said, "Later, we went to the Blood Corpse Tomb, but there was no blood corpse in it at all. Instead, there was only a statue of the Four-Eyed Nine-Sky Goddess and two Corpse-Eating Pills."
