Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 108: The Great Tomb [Please subscribe for the third chapter! ]

"Quack quack-"

A few night crows flew across the sky, and everything became quiet.

The town that was once decorated with lights and colorful decorations disappeared, and with the death of the Ghost King, everything disappeared.

The place where Guan Shaoqing and his group were turned into a vast wilderness, surrounded by mountains on both sides.

"W-what's going on?!"

Bai Xiuzhu, who survived the disaster, looked around in horror, completely unable to understand how the town that had just been right before her eyes could suddenly disappear.

"It's a ghost den. A ghost den forms where there's a thick yin energy and evil spirits gather. It could be a shop, a village, a town, or even a city. So if you suddenly come across someone's house in the wilderness, it's best not to enter easily."

"Now that these evil spirits and ghosts have either died or fled, the ghost den has naturally dissipated, revealing the original appearance of this place."

Guan Shaoqing explained after hearing this.

"Thank you both so much for this. Without your help, we would have been in great danger."

At this time, the old man standing behind Bai Xiuzhu stood up and thanked Guan Shaoqing and Uncle Jiu, the master and his disciple.

"You're welcome. Even without you, we would still take action."

Uncle Jiu waved his hand.

"It may be just a matter of convenience for you two, but it is a life-saving grace for us. I haven't asked for your identities yet, so that we can have the opportunity to visit you in the future to thank you for saving our lives." The old man continued.

Uncle Jiu looked at Guan Shaoqing. It didn’t matter whether he told him his identity or not, but Guan Shaoqing needed to consider his identity himself.

Guan Shaoqing felt the gaze of his master Uncle Jiu and continued.

"My name is Guan Shaoqing. I don't know if you've heard of him. My father is Guan Zongtang, and this is my ninth uncle, a true disciple of Maoshan. He currently lives in Renjia Town, Luoyang County, eastern Guangdong."

The old man was shocked when he heard this. When he heard Guan Shaoqing's name, he guessed that he was the young marshal of Guangdong today, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"So it was the Young Marshal and Uncle Nine who were here in person. Please forgive my poor eyesight and my disrespect."

"Meet the Young Marshal and Uncle Nine."

The four bodyguards behind the old man also saluted quickly, and looked at Guan Shaoqing with a bit more awe.

"You are the legendary young marshal of Guangdong. I didn't expect you to be anything like what I imagined."

At this time, Bai Xiuzhu also immediately understood Guan Shaoqing's identity, and finally remembered why she felt Guan Shaoqing's name was so familiar before, because she had heard it when she just returned to Guangdong.

However, the Guan Shaoqing in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined.

Originally, Bai Xiuzhu thought that Guan Shaoqing, as a warlord, must be ferocious and murderous, but she didn't expect that Guan Shaoqing seemed so easy to talk to in private, like a modest gentleman.

And it is so powerful that it can even deal with evil spirits and ghosts.

Bai Xiuzhu, who had felt a special affinity with Guan Shaoqing the first time she saw him, couldn't help but become more curious about him.

"Thank you so much this time. I, Bai Xiuzhu, owe you my life. I will definitely find a way to repay you in the future."

Bai Xiuzhu said again.

"You're welcome. Now that the matter has been resolved, we'll take our leave."

Guan Shaoqing said indifferently, then he and his master Jiushu turned around and prepared to leave. They had originally wanted to stay in this town for one night, but they didn't expect it to be a ghost town. Now it seems that they can only find another town ahead.

"Hey wait, can we go with you guys?"

Seeing Guan Shaoqing and Uncle Jiu turning around and about to leave, Bai Xiuzhu quickly spoke again.

To be honest, after what happened just now, Bai Xiuzhu is now afraid of the dark night. Even though there are many people around her, they can't give her a sense of security. Only Guan Shaoqing and his disciple Jiu Shu can make her feel at ease.

"Okay, we're going to find a town ahead to stay overnight. If you're willing, you can come with us."

"That's great."

In this way, Bai Xiuzhu and her group of seven also followed Guan Shaoqing and Uncle Jiu, the master and his apprentice.

However, the two sides didn't talk much on the way. Bai Xiuzhu got on the carriage with her maid, while Guan Shaoqing and his uncle Jiu walked in front of the team.

In the carriage, Bai Xiuzhu's gaze would occasionally look through the carriage curtains at Guan Shaoqing on the road ahead.

"Uncle Zhou, were they using Taoist magic just now?" After walking for a while, Bai Xiuzhu couldn't help but ask the old man driving the carriage. The old man's surname was Zhou, and his original name was Zhou Sheng. He was also a martial arts master of the Bai family and was ordered to follow and protect Bai Xiuzhu all year round.

"Not entirely. Uncle Jiu probably used Taoist magic, but Marshal Guan probably used martial arts."

Zhou Sheng heard this.

"Martial arts methods, are there such methods in martial arts? Why haven't I seen you, Uncle Zhou, use them?"

Bai Xiuzhu couldn't help but wonder when she heard that.

Zhou Sheng smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Miss, you think too highly of me. My limited strength can only deal with ordinary people. Compared with this young Marshal Guan, I am not even worthy of carrying his shoes. Comparing me with this young Marshal Guan is like a firefly competing with the bright moon."

Zhou Sheng's family knew their own business. Although his martial arts skills were good and he could easily deal with a dozen strong men, he was still one step away from becoming a martial arts master, let alone compared with Guan Shaoqing.

Although it is unclear what level of martial arts Guan Shaoqing is at.

But there is one thing Zhou Sheng can be sure of, even if Guan Shaoqing's martial arts skills have not yet reached the legendary realm of martial arts grandmaster, he has definitely surpassed ordinary martial arts masters.

Looking at the entire martial arts world today, there are probably only a handful of people with such martial arts skills.

The most important thing is that Guan Shaoqing is still so young. I dare not imagine how far he can go in the future.

"When practicing martial arts, whether it's external or internal skills, achieving great perfection in them earns one the title of Grandmaster. Grandmasters of both are incredibly rare throughout the martial arts world, and yet this Young Marshal Guan has probably surpassed the Grandmaster level."

"No wonder there are rumors that this young commander Guan once single-handedly killed a general and captured a city, helping the Guan family defeat their old rival, the Huang family, and unify the entire province of eastern Guangdong. Now it seems that the rumors are true."

At the same time, he also realized that the Guan family had such a powerful heir who was also a disciple of Maoshan. As long as Guan Shaoqing was not in trouble, the rise of the Guan family would probably be unstoppable, and it would definitely not be a flash in the pan.

At the same time, in front of the team.

Guan Shaoqing and his disciple Uncle Jiu also discussed in a low voice.

"Master, do you think there's a large tomb where those evil spirits appeared just now? Otherwise, how could so many evil spirits and ghosts gather together so easily? And that old Ghost King was dressed in luxurious clothes. It's obvious that she was either rich or noble when she was alive."

Guan Shaoqing whispered that he suspected there was a big tomb where the Ghost King Old Lady had appeared before, and those evil spirits and the Ghost King Old Lady might be the ghosts in the big tomb.

After hearing what Guan Shaoqing said, Uncle Jiu pondered for a while and nodded.

“This is indeed very likely.”

After all, under normal circumstances it is difficult for so many evil spirits to gather together. Moreover, judging from the old lady Ghost King's luxurious attire and extraordinary demeanor, she must have been rich or noble when she was alive. Based on this comprehensive inference, the possibility of a large tomb nearby is indeed very high.

"Why, you have an idea?"

Guan Shaoqing nodded directly. If there really was a big tomb, then he would naturally have some ideas. After all, a big tomb often meant a lot of treasure.

As for saying that tomb robbing will damage one's virtue.

I even killed the ghost of the tomb owner and I'm still afraid of this.

"If there really is a huge tomb, I do have some ideas. After all, when a person dies, everything ends. Why leave so much treasure behind? It would be better to use it to benefit the living."

"If you really have an idea, it's fine. But remember to use 10% of the treasure you take out for charity to help the people. Otherwise, the dead person's wealth will easily damage your virtue."

Uncle Jiu nodded when he heard this and did not object.

"Don't worry, Master. I had these plans myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to spend all the money by myself."

"Then Master, please help me check the Feng Shui to see if there is indeed a large tomb there and determine the location."

The point of finding dragon points.

This is naturally not a difficult task for Uncle Jiu, who is well versed in feng shui and geography.

In fact, Guan Shaoqing has learned some things himself, but he is still not very proficient at the moment.

So in order to ensure that everything goes well, Guan Shaoqing still plans to ask his master to take action. After all, why not ask for help when his master is already there.

"Ah."

Uncle Jiu also nodded.
