Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

The sun and moon took turns for more than a dozen cycles, and gradually people appeared at the foot of Mount Li with their teams, heading towards the camp, but no one went down the mountain.

In the chariot and horse terracotta warriors' chamber, which is located next to the main tomb chamber at the foot of Mount Li, four people are sitting together. Two of them are in a daze, while the person sitting next to them is holding a deck of cards and rubbing his hands together as if dealing cards. Some of the other people have stickers stuck to their faces.

"Who played a two last round?! It blocked all my cards! I've lost thirteen rounds now, is someone cheating?!"

Wu sat on the ground, his face flushed with anger as he glared at the people around him, gritting his teeth and snarling viciously.

"Hey, you're being unreasonable! You're just unlucky, there's nothing I can do about it! We gave you all the cards, and you still managed to play them terribly. Even if Hua'er and I wanted to go easy on you, we couldn't!"

Fatty Wang touched the little note on his chubby face, secretly pleased that his opponent was the card-counting Flower Master, unlike Black Bear, who was teamed up with Wu Xie—what a disaster!

"Ah, Wu Xie! It's not that your master is criticizing you, but how could you get such bad luck with your cards? Five dollars for the blind man, just like that, gone back to the Flower Master! Heavens above! Earth below... it's really not easy for a blind man to earn money..."

After playing cards for so long, Hei Xiazi has discovered a pattern: when playing against Wu Xie, he sometimes wins and sometimes loses, it all depends on the strength of his "evil spirit" (a specific type of card combination).

Swish!

Just then, a gentle breeze stirred, and Zhang Qilin, who had been sitting in a daze, suddenly stood up. Then, Hei Xiazi threw the cards in his hand on the ground, stood up, and looked at the other side of the terracotta warriors.

Seeing this, the others also became vigilant. With Zhang Qilin and Hei Xiazi providing food for them these past two days, the group had been living quite comfortably, and there was plenty of fun to do while they waited.

"Little Qilin, Blind Man, I'm back!"

A golden light flashed in the distance, a gentle breeze blew, and two figures suddenly appeared beside the group at the edge of the terracotta warriors.

One figure was familiar, while the other was someone they were seeing for the first time.

"Wife, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

The moment the person stood up, Hei Xiazi found the perfect angle and rushed over, grabbing the person who had been waiting for two days and nuzzling her in his arms.

"Hehehe... Well, I'm back now. Oh, let me introduce you. This guy next to me is my best buddy, Brother Zheng!"

Even while nestled in Hei Xiazi's arms, Qin Henian didn't forget to introduce his first good friend, speaking with a boastful tone.

"Brother Zheng? Which Brother Zheng? Is it the Brother Zheng I'm thinking of?"

After listening to Qin Henian's introduction, Wu Xie's eyes lit up. He knew this world was different! Oh, Zheng Ge!

"Ahem... Hello young men, I am..."

After watching the whole process of his little cabbage being taken advantage of, Zhao Zheng hadn't figured out what to say yet, but he knew that times had changed and he was about to speak according to the current introduction when he heard someone ask him a question. He quickly cleared his throat and put his hands behind his waist, wanting to introduce himself in the best way possible. But he was suddenly interrupted when he was only halfway through his sentence.

"Ying Zheng!!! Our ancestor!!!"

With a trembling hand and an excited heart, Wu Xie let out a scream and finished what Zhao Zheng was about to say.

"Ancestor!!! My God! I actually met my living ancestor in my lifetime!"

It is said that next to the Crouching Dragon, there must be the Young Phoenix. Under Wu Xie's enthusiastic introduction, Fatty Wang's heart was pounding and his face was flushed with excitement as he spoke.

How could Zhang Qilin, Hei Xiazi, and Xie Yuchen not be excited?

They were definitely excited, but the three of them were able to manage their expressions and emotions very well.

"Alright, we should get out of here. This tomb is large, but the air is full of mercury poison. The half-face gas masks you're wearing won't last much longer."

Qin Henian still cherishes his two partners and hasn't had a chance to properly show them off to his good brother. He didn't want them to be poisoned with mercury right after they came back to life... That would be too pathetic.

.................................. ....................................................

After everything had changed locations, another week had passed. Finally, Qin Henian brought the Chosen One and Zhao Zheng back to a classical courtyard house owned by the Qin family in Beijing.

After Qin Henian brought Zhao Zheng back, he was taken away by about a hundred old men to report on the current situation of the Qin clan. Many of the outsiders from Qin who were killed or captured in the tomb were also handed over to them.

Following Zhao Zheng's initial instructions, many things have started to get moving, and recently people have also been learning modern things.

At the far end of the narrow-in-the-front, wide-in-the-back corridor lies the main hall of this courtyard house. At this moment, the hall doors are tightly closed, and several people are sitting facing each other inside.

"Brother Zheng, you've now successfully taken over the power you left behind. What do you plan to do next?"

After completing his deal with Xiaotiandao, Qin Henian clearly felt that he was being rejected by the world. He called everyone over for two reasons: first, to chat with his friends a little longer, and second, to say goodbye.

"First, I'll gather strength and try to be elected as the number one elder during this period. I think that position suits me very well. After that, I'll send troops to the neighboring Sakura Island..."

Zhao Zheng didn't shy away from what he said; after all, according to what Nian Nian said, everyone here was one of their own.

"Alright, alright, I understand! Take another look at the world map. Don't rush, take it one step at a time."

Qin Henian didn't want to know what would happen to the world next, so he interrupted Zhao Zheng when he was halfway through his sentence.

"By the way, Brother Zheng! I'm entrusting Wu Xie, Xiao Hua, Fatty, and the others to your care in the future."

Qin Henian stared intently at Zhao Zheng. After spending so much time together, he knew the other man understood his meaning.

Are you leaving, Nian Nian?

Sure enough, an emperor's mind works fast, and Zhao Zheng noticed it instantly.

"It's not that I'm leaving, it's that both of my partners and I are leaving."

Qin Henian shrugged and looked at Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qilin. They must have already sensed the growing repulsive force of this world.

"What? You're leaving? Young Master? He Nian? Master? How could this be?"

Upon hearing that his good brothers were leaving, Wu Xie's expression immediately turned serious. Wang Pangzi and Xie Yuchen, in particular, all frowned and looked at the three of them with grave expressions.

"Wu Xie! We are not human, we do not belong here, it is normal for us to be rejected by this world."

Qin Henian explained to Wu Xie.

"My cheap apprentice, don't miss me now that your master's gone!"

Black Bear's cheeky voice rang out as he looked at Wu Xie with a grin.

"Wu Xie, we no longer belong here."

Zhang Qilin spoke much more simply. After learning from the Heavenly Dao what his fate would have been if he hadn't met He Nian, he didn't know what to say. But he knew that he was now a little Qilin and should go live in his own place.
