Monster, come to my bowl

"I'm just having fun! I found a treasure!"

When Cai Ji discovered that the spell was successful and the ancient bronze seal was still there, he jumped up excitedly on the spot.

The reason for the excitement is simple.

Although he had successfully cast spells many times before, except for the crowbar, the weapons and props he used either shattered on the spot or turned directly into ashes.

Now this seal not only survived, but also remained intact!

This shows that Cai Ji’s idea of ​​collecting antiques and junk is not only completely correct in direction, but also full of possibilities of buying treasures with little money!

This is commonly known as picking up a bargain!

Of course, it’s not accurate enough to say that we found a bargain.

Because in this world, no one cares about things like antiques.

Ordinary people are struggling to survive under the shadow of demons every day, so how can they have the time to do this?

Even wealthy landlords would rather spend their money on building high walls and hiring servants to guard their homes than waste it on these things.

Even if you have money, you have to have the life to spend it. Why pretend to be elegant?

Cai Ji did not receive many items in Nanshan Town, mainly because Nanshan Town was small and had only a few households.

If the target is changed to a big city, we will definitely receive more!

"Developed, developed!"

Cai Ji was very quick-witted and he thought of this immediately.

He couldn't let go of the bronze seal and kissed it all over, then stuffed it into his arms.

Such a good thing cannot be wasted on strengthening the body!

It must be collected first and used as a self-defense weapon!

When you need it in the future, you can use it to perform a big move!

Judging from its performance just now, it is at least as good as a demon-slaying sword!

……

After two consecutive successful physical fitness exercises, Cai Ji was as hungry as a pig.

He ate a whole table of food and wine, plus fifteen meat buns, eighteen vegetable buns, and two large pots of rice wine.

Honghong and Lanlan were so scared that they almost ran away, thinking that he was possessed by a demon.

Eat and drink enough, then take a short rest.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!"

"Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!"

"..."

"One hundred and six, one hundred and seven, one hundred and eight!"

Cai Ji did another push-up to test his physical condition.

This time he did 108 in one go. He was not nervous or out of breath after finishing. He finally bid farewell to his sickly state and became a fitness expert.

Although he is not as good as those crude warriors, he is definitely among the best among ordinary people.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, just after I finished doing push-ups, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Oh no! Shopkeeper Cai, something big has happened!"

"The Second Young Master's grave was dug up!"

"The master has already brought people over."

"Madam, please come out and let me take you to see!"

Honghong and Lanlan looked nervous and spoke to each other.

"Ah?" Cai Ji was confused and asked, "Who is so bold as to dig up the second young master's grave?"

"I don't know!" The two maids shook their heads.

"I'll go now!" Cai Ji found that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he hurried out the door.

Although he was just a guest of the Xue family.

But since the madam has spoken, we must take action!

The Xue family cemetery is on a small hill not far from the Xue Mansion, less than half a mile away.

The reason why it is so close is mainly because we are afraid that the tomb will be destroyed by monsters and wild beasts.

Cai Ji is now strong and healthy, and he can reach the destination in just a few steps.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a large group of people gathered in a circle, talking.

"Who is so wicked as to do such a thing?"

"Not only is this immoral, this is simply a sign of wanting to die! They even dared to rob our Xue family's tomb!"

"Robbery is fine, but what's stealing the second young master's body?"

"This soil is very fresh. It must have happened last night."

"If we send people to check door to door now, we will definitely find clues!"

"I agree! It must have been done by a local. I haven't heard of any outsiders coming to town in the past two days."

"Master, give the order!"

In addition to the Xue family's servants and guards, there were also many Xue family members who watched the scene. They all looked furious and were ready to conduct a town-wide search.

But Mr. Xue, the head of the Xue family, said nothing.

"Boss Cai, what do you think?"

Xue Xiong waited until Cai Ji appeared beside him before he spoke slowly.

As a retired seventh-rank demon-suppressing guard, although Master Xue was furious in his heart, he appeared calm on the surface.

This is incompatible with his previous crude image.

I don’t know if it’s because a person becomes calm when he is extremely angry, or if this is just his hidden personality.

"Let me consider!"

Cai Ji did not dare to delay and immediately narrowed his eyes to observe the crime scene in front of him.

In order to prevent destruction by monsters and wild beasts, the tombs in this world are built very solidly.

Although the shapes are similar, the top is basically a hemispherical shape, but the base and the tomb body are generally built with bricks and stones.

The tombs of wealthy families would use giant stones as the main building materials, and the stones would be bonded together with mortar, making the built tombs extremely solid.

But Cai Ji was already worried after just two glances!

He was surprised to find that the tomb of the second son of the Xue family seemed to have been blown up from the inside by explosives, and dozens of broken stone slabs were scattered in all directions with the tomb as the center.

The coffin fragments in the tomb were also radially stuck on the surrounding tomb walls.

People in this world may find these extremely obvious signs of explosion unfamiliar, but Cai Ji can recognize them at a glance.

I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running away!

There shouldn’t be too many traces of explosions in Earth’s movies, TV shows, and the Internet.

What puzzled Cai Ji the most was that he had been in this world for eight years and had never heard of explosives or even seen fireworks!

So what exactly was it that blew up the second young master's tomb from the inside?

Cai Ji was filled with doubts.

He plucked up his courage, took a few steps forward, squatted down and carefully examined the fragments in the tomb!

Don't look at it, look at it!

Cai Ji discovered that there was no rotten meat or broken bones among the fragments in the tomb!

You know, it’s only been three months since the Second Young Master was buried. It’s impossible that even his bones have rotted away, right?

Could it be that this explosion...

Cai Ji had an ominous premonition in his heart. He stood up and looked around, saying, "Master, take everyone back! It's not safe here."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around.

"Unsafe? What does Shopkeeper Cai mean by this?"

"Yes! Can you explain it clearly?"

"Even if it was done by a monster, I am a seventh-rank monster-suppressing guard..."

Many people questioned Cai Ji's remarks on the spot.

Although the whole Nanshan Town was spreading the rumor that Cai Ji was the future eldest brother-in-law of the Xue family, there were many people who were dissatisfied, especially those direct descendants of the Xue family.

After all, if Cai Ji really became the son-in-law of the Xue family, their chances of inheriting the family property in the future would be greatly reduced.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these people started to make a fuss, they were hit hard on the head.

"Go back just because I told you to! Stop the bullshit!" Mr. Xue suddenly shouted angrily, scaring everyone into silence.
