Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Regardless of Yin Xinyue's status, just the title of the clan chief's wife alone is enough to command utmost respect from everyone when dealing with her.

The journey from Beijing back to Changsha by train takes about two or three days.

During the Republic of China era, trains were divided into three classes: first class, second class, and third class.

First class offers the best environment, but tickets are also the hardest to buy.

Only high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and foreigners have this qualification.

But those powerful warlords had their own dedicated trains.

Su Yitian bought a second-class ticket. The train was packed with people, and sometimes there wasn't even room to stand.

During the Republic of China era, there was no such thing as a seat on train tickets; you had to grab one yourself.

Fortunately, Su Yitian managed to grab a few seats before boarding the bus, so everyone had a place to sit.

"Brother Chen, look at those people."

After taking his seat, Su Yitian looked at the seats to his left and saw a man sitting in the center. He was dressed in coarse cloth and was thin.

A curly-haired man and a woman were sitting on either side of him.

The three men were dressed in Taoist robes, and their aura was completely out of place with those around them.

"Congratulations, host. You have come into contact with the story characters - Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, and Flower Spirit. Family progress bar +48%."

The system voice sounded.

The three people appeared to be Partridge Whistle and his senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Partridge Whistle is the last Mountain Moving Taoist, a descendant of the Grama tribe. He has extensive experience and is proficient in various local dialects and customs.

In order to break the curse of his own red spots, he searched for the Muchen Pearl, his footprints covering the whole country and even overseas.

His master was Master Liaochen, who inherited the Mountain Moving Taoist's skills of moving mountains and filling seas, his resourcefulness, and his expertise in ventriloquism.

Not only was he exceptionally skilled, but he was also adept at using two guns, wielding two German 20-shot mirror-finish pistols. His marksmanship was divine, and his grappling and fighting techniques were also unparalleled.

Later, they failed to find the Muchen Pearl, and Red Girl also died. In addition, he lost an arm. Disheartened, Partridge Whistle and Thomas went abroad.

Decades later, his granddaughter Shirley Yang returned to China and teamed up with Hu Bayi, forming an iron triangle with Fatty.

Partridge Whistle and his companions are formidable fighters, and Su Chen wants to recruit them into his ranks.

"Switch seats with the person sitting opposite him," Su Chen instructed. "Money is not an issue."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Su Yitian took several dozen silver dollars and approached the ordinary people sitting opposite Partridge Whistle.

A moment later, Su Chen, Su Renxiu, and Black-backed Old Six sat down opposite Partridge Whistle.

Partridge Whistle also vaguely sensed that these people in front of him were not ordinary, and he was even more curious about why they were sitting opposite him, so he couldn't help but feel a little wary.

Su Chen, however, calmly chatted with Black-backed Old Six, "Old Dao, do you think we'll eventually find the Muchen Pearl?"

Black-backed Old Six glanced at Partridge Whistle and the others, and slowly said, "It should be fine. Once we've finished what we're doing, we can go and explore."

Black-backed Old Six didn't understand Su Chen's meaning, but since Su Chen had spoken, he had to go along with what Su Chen said.

Upon hearing the words "Muchen Pearl," Partridge Whistle and the others visibly tensed up.

His junior brother, Old Foreigner, glanced at Partridge Whistle with a hint of nervousness. He knew all too well that his senior brother, Partridge Whistle, had expended a great deal of energy in searching for the Muchen Pearl.

But who would have thought that they would suddenly hear a clue about the Muchen Pearl on the train.

Partridge Whistle patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to rush and should wait and see.

"If the map is marked correctly, we should be able to reach the location of the Muchen Pearl as soon as possible."

Su Chen spoke again.

The surrounding passengers found their words confusing and couldn't understand them, so no one paid any attention.

Partridge Whistle and his companions, on the surface, seemed indifferent, but in reality, they were listening carefully to the conversation.

Su Chen smiled, not caring at all.

After exchanging a few words, they left a prelude and said no more.

The old man and Hua Ling were scratching their heads in frustration.

They seemed to have obtained many useful clues, but in reality, they hadn't overheard any specific information.

"May I ask you gentlemen, where did you obtain the clues about the Muchen Pearl?"

The old foreigner couldn't wait any longer and asked at the exit.

Partridge Whistle wanted to stop him, but he had already spoken.

"northeast!"

Su Chen gave a general location.

Seeing that the two sides had started communicating, Partridge Whistle decided not to pay any more attention, since the person in front of him was clearly a fellow professional.

Her demeanor is undeniably impressive.

So he asked, "May I ask which mountain you worship, and what path you follow?"

Su Chen smiled and revealed his origins: "When you visit a mountain, you must visit Dragon Tower Mountain, where golden light shines. The Tomb Raider Talisman bears the seal of the Tomb Raider, and the golden wind blows across your face."

Partridge Whistle belongs to the Mountain Moving Taoist lineage, but he apprenticed under Master Chen and learned the methods of the Tomb Raiders lineage.

Although Partridge Whistle obtained the Tomb Raider Talisman, he did not learn the essence of the Tomb Raider Captain. Therefore, strictly speaking, Partridge Whistle is not a true Tomb Raider Captain, but only half one.

To find the Muchen Pearl, we need the help of the Tomb Raiders.

"May I take a look at the Tomb Raider Talisman?"

Partridge Whistle wanted to confirm Su Chen's identity.

"I'm not exactly a real tomb raider; I just happened to inherit the tomb raider's legacy," Su Chen said.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle was somewhat disappointed.

I thought I had stumbled upon a real tomb raider by chance, but it turned out to be a half-baked one.

“However, I do know a little about the Muchen Pearl,” Su Chen said, “but these clues can’t be obtained for nothing.”

"Then may I ask what kind of payment you require, sir?"

In order to obtain clues about the Muchen Pearl, Partridge Whistle asked in a deep voice.

"I don't want any reward. I just need the three of you to join our Su family," Su Chen said. "At that time, our Su family will definitely do our best to help the three of you find the Muchen Pearl."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Partridge Whistle understood that the people in front of him already knew his identity.

"Can!"

Partridge Whistle nodded.

Over the years, he has become somewhat obsessed with finding the Muchen Pearl.

As long as there are clues about the Muchen Pearl, joining the Su family wouldn't be a problem.

"I am Su Chen, the current patriarch of the Su family!"

Su Chen introduced himself and told the others about the map of the Muchen Pearl he had obtained from the tomb of Emperor Taizu of Liao.

Upon learning that the map was on Jin Suanpan, Partridge Whistle let out a long sigh.

“Once Master Jin deciphers the map, he will definitely contact me,” Su Chen said. “At that time, we will go together to find the whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl.”

"After the deed is done, the Muchen Pearl will be yours, and the treasures will be ours."
