Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Obviously, Lao Li misunderstood.

I thought I knew how to summon spirits and ask questions.

Little did he know that what he saw before him was a mountain ghost that had existed for hundreds of years.

If I tell him the truth, I wonder if he will be scared to pee his pants.

Thinking of the dangers in Yu Shanqing’s tomb, I didn’t want Lao Li to take the risk.

At least Cui Hao and I have the Buddha's relics to protect ourselves, but if he and his two disciples go there, they will only be cannon fodder.

Moreover, the mountain ghost's behavior of actively luring them also made me feel uneasy.

I always feel like it's planning something.

"Old Li, Master Yu's tomb is very unusual. There are zongzi inside."

"Huh!" Old Li said in a disdainful tone.

"We did cooperate once, didn't we? It was pretty good, right? Are you thinking of having it all to yourself?"

“As the saying goes, it takes three stakes to make a fence, and it takes three men to make a hero.”

"As the old saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, and when you go out you rely on your friends."

"We all have to help each other, right?"

"If there really are zongzi in the tomb, can I watch you take the risk, brother?"

"Then I must follow you to help you solve your problems!"

What Old Li said was very convincing.

It seems that all the truth in the world is on his side.

I shook my head without saying a word.

As the saying goes, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost.

Since he won't listen, just let him be.

Jiang Nanle smiled and said, "There is strength in numbers, and more people means the work can be done faster."

"Hehehe, Jiang girl is still sensible."

After saying that, Lao Li waved at Daquan, signaling him to quickly get the things up there.

Then he said to me, "Brother Chen, let's go to Ganhe Village to look for graves together tomorrow?"

I nodded helplessly.

"Yes, that's settled."

"Well, everything in the tomb has been packed up, except for the golden well."

"Let's open the bottom of the coffin and feel for the golden well."

Lao Li pointed to the coffin.

Just now, the coffin lid and the coffin gang were smashed by the white snake.

Only the bottom of the coffin remained on the bluestone slab.

Together we moved the bottom of the coffin, revealing the bluestone slab that was covered by the coffin.

There is a fist-sized hole in the middle of the bluestone slab, which is where the golden well is.

Old Li rushed over and reached into the hole.

He quickly retracted his hand holding the object.

It is a white jade cassock ring.

The robe ring is half the size of a palm.

It is white with a slight bluish tint and has an oily sheen on the surface.

It is probably something used by a great monk back then.

Unfortunately, there are no words or symbols left on it, and it is impossible to verify which monk used it.

It's impossible to sell this thing at a high price.

You can only make money by selling the jade materials.

Old Li was a little disappointed: "It's just a cassock ring, at least you can get two gold ones."

"Master, everything has been brought up, let's go up quickly too." Daquan urged.

It's getting late.

If you delay any longer, it will be dawn.

We didn't dare to waste time and were pulled back to the ground one by one.

Finally, the white snake was also pulled up.

The donkey cart was filled with snake bodies. I planned to take out the snake gallbladders and skins and dry them in the air after I got back.

As for the snake meat, leave it for Lao Li and the others to eat.

Daquan and Ershuan quickly backfilled the stolen hole.

After cleaning up the scene, we left in the darkness before dawn.

The sky turned white.

We returned to the courtyard rented by Lao Li.

Jiang Nanle yawned loudly: "It's almost dawn, I'm going to sleep first."

After dawn, the mountain ghost could no longer control Jiang Nanle's body, so Jiang Nanle's own soul took over the body.

Only after dark will the mountain ghost come back to control Jiang Nan's body.

But Old Li didn't understand what was going on. He smiled and said, "Hey, you can still sleep?"

"Why don't we take a good look at the harvest and eat the snake meat before going to sleep?"

Jiang Nan smiled but said nothing.

Go into the room quickly and close the door.

Old Li hummed a little tune as he opened the bag and took out the various items inside to take inventory.

"The gold-inlaid jade belt and the Hetian white jade Zigang plaque, these two items are probably the most valuable."

"These porcelains are all so-so. This is a good harvest."

"No, there's also that knife!"

Old Li looked at the knife in my hand and his eyes suddenly widened.

"I'm a good boy!"

"I looked at it carefully just now, but now I can see clearly that this knife is not ordinary!"

"Let me take a closer look!"

Cui Hao and the others were attracted and stared at the knife together.

"It's so beautiful! I didn't know a knife could be made so beautifully!"

"The gem on it is so shiny, can you pick it off?"

"Scratch your head! It's only valuable if it's inlaid. I guess this is the royal sword!"

"For royal use? How much is it worth?!"

Old Li wasn't sure how much the knife was worth.

But he is sure the price will not be low.

"At least three to five thousand can be sold, and tens of thousands is not impossible."

"Hiss! So valuable!"

Selling a knife for tens of thousands of dollars was indeed a bit like a fantasy in those days.

But this knife is definitely worth the price.

And I think tens of thousands is just the starting price, the actual price can only be higher, not lower.

"I don't want to sell this knife." I took the knife back and held it in my arms.

Old Li frowned.

"Not selling?"

“Yes, not for sale.”

"What are you doing? If you don't sell it, how are we going to split the money?"

I laughed and said, "We don't want the 40% that belongs to us. It's the money that will be used to cover the loss."

Old Li's eyes moved back and forth between the pile of objects on the table and the knife.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes!"

"The knife is yours, and these things are ours."

After agreeing, I took the knife and went to skin the snake.

Cui Hao helped me.

After working for a long time, I finally removed the snake skin and gallbladder.

The snake meat, cut into several large pieces, belonged to Lao Li and his friends.

Old Li said shamelessly, "Don't take the snake gall."

"Soak it in wine with the snake meat. We'll split the wine in half."

I shook my head: "The snake gall is going to be given away, so forget it."

"Ugh."

Old Li sighed regretfully and asked his two apprentices to buy some wine.

Return to the room.

I found a rope to tie the snake's bile duct, and then hung the snake gallbladder, which was as big as a child's fist, to dry in the shade.

The same method is used for the snake skin, which is hung in the room to dry in the shade.

Cui Hao lay on the bed and whispered, "Brother, is Jiang Nanle a human or a ghost now? Could she be dead?"

"Hard to say."

"You take a rest first. I'll go see her next door."

I am also worried about Jiang's difficult situation.

I hope the little girl doesn't really die.

If she was already dead, and her body was taken over by a mountain ghost...

I'll have to make some other plans.

I gently pushed open the door of the next room and looked inside through the crack.

Jiang Nanle lay on the bed, his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

If he's breathing, he should be alive, right?

I went to the bedside and bent down to look at her face.

There was nothing unusual about the handsome little face that exuded a heroic air.

Even when he fell asleep, his brows were still furrowed, as if he was weighed down by countless worries.

When I stretched out my fingers to smooth her frown, her eyes suddenly opened and she stared at me.

This look...why does it look like he's dying with his eyes open!

Is she dead?!

My heart suddenly tightened and the hairs on my body stood on end.

My scalp felt like it was going to explode.
