Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Even the slow-paced, gentle voice was curious.

Looking at Zhou Nanbei: "Yes, little Nanbei,"

You didn't say anything at the Crescent Hotel back then.

Now that it's right in front of us, we can finally say it.

Zhou Nanbei used his spatial perception to glance at the reservoir and discovered that it would take at least another half hour.

So we started chatting.

He paused for a moment and shook his head slightly:

"To be honest, I don't know who the body inside is."

The reason for coming here is

It was also to resolve the doubts in my heart.

Black-backed Old Six was taken aback: "You don't know either?"

Didn't Brother Zhou record this?

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly: "No, but I do know the general outline of the matter."

Sixth Master

Remember when you asked me why I was so sure Ninth Master was dead, given how shrewd he is?

Black-backed Old Six looked around the tomb chamber.

He looked down at Zhou Nanbei again, somewhat stunned: "You mean...?"

Is it related to this corpse?

Seeing Zhou Nanbei nod, Black-backed Old Six couldn't help but gasp.

Although Sheng Sheng Man was surprised

I guessed in my mind that this was an important person.

Seeing that the sixth brother was so distraught, he couldn't help but ask, "Sixth Master,..."

Why do you look like this?

Black-backed Old Six looked at Sheng Sheng Man and sighed softly:

Slowly,

You weren't in the same era as Ninth Master, so you don't know how terrifying he was. Among the Nine Gates back then...

There are only three people I can't understand.

They are Zhang Qishan, Eighth Master, and Ninth Master.

He paused before speaking:

"Among them, Ninth Master's incomprehensibility is the most frightening."

From an outsider's perspective,

Ninth Master's greatest strength is his intellect, but that's not actually the case. Years ago, by chance, Ninth Master came to see me...

They hired me to transport the goods.

Back then, although I acted recklessly because of my martial prowess, I wasn't brainless. It was just because of the slap mark on my back...

With the mindset of "live one day at a time, kill one who messes with me and I'll make my money; kill two and I'll make a profit," [the individual's motivation is unclear].

This demonstrates courage without strategy.

But his long-standing performance also became an opportunity, and it was that one time that Ninth Master miscalculated; he hadn't expected...

I can tell that it's a case of using someone else to do the dirty work.

So I made my move then and there, so swiftly that even to outsiders, Ninth Master didn't need to...

His most brilliant mind,

It was during that exchange that I realized that Ninth Master's talent in traditional Chinese martial arts was actually quite remarkable.

At least at that time,

Ninth Master had already reached the Transformation Realm, although he was only at the initial stage and much weaker than me. But you have to understand his strength...

Ninth Master never showed it.

At least back in Changsha, Zhang Qishan only knew that Ninth Master possessed hidden strength.

As he spoke, he looked at Sheng Sheng Man.

"Now you know why I lost my composure like that, right?"

Zhou Nanbei clicked his tongue twice.

"Tsk tsk, what a Ninth Master! Waiting for the assassins to kill him..."

Through layers of encirclement,

When I walked up to Ninth Master, I thought I was full of confidence, but that was probably when I felt most desperate.

After a pause, Zhou Nanbei continued:

"And that's not all; if you piece it all together..."

I'm afraid Zhang Qishan will also be the last one standing.

Only then did I realize Ninth Master's skills.

The two were somewhat confused.

So he asked, "Little Nanbei,

What are you saying?

Zhou Nanbei thought for a moment and then said, "This matter has to start with Zhang Qishan."

At that time, the country had only been stable for a few years.

When Zhang Qishan was drinking with a group of generals

He unintentionally revealed this while drunk.

The Zhang family's secret, but whether it was unintentional or deliberate, is a matter that requires much investigation.

As for the reason...

There were quite a few of these, and there were roughly two reasons, though my grandfather wasn't entirely sure which one it was, based on his records.

But it's all written down.

The first possibility is that Yin Xinyue has contracted a strange illness, and Zhang Qishan wants to use the Zhang family's blood transfusion technique to treat her.

The second possibility is that Zhang Qishan hopes to achieve this through this method.

Let Yin Xinyue obtain the Zhang family bloodline,

This was to prolong their lives, so that they could stay together forever.

And the power of the Zhang family

Sixth Master is probably aware that Lu Jianxun, who was vying for power back then, was killed by Zhang Qishan through a proxy.

Surrounded by multiple forces

He was killed by the Zhang family, which led to Zhang Qishan's return to the pinnacle of power.

He paused, then looked at Sheng Sheng Man.

"If you still don't understand, Sister Man, then you can refer to Zhang Qishan."

He was merely a member of a collateral branch of the Zhang family.

To have come this far, you should consider just how powerful the Zhang family's direct descendants are.

Upon hearing this, the sixth black-backed man nodded slightly:

"I do know about this. Lu Jianxun died in the basement while surrounded by enemies."

He paused for a moment and then spoke again:

"As for Zhang Qishan being drunk, I can vouch for it."

He did it on purpose.

How could someone like him allow himself to get drunk?

Especially among those generals.

As for whether it was to cure Yin Xinyue's illness or to prolong her life, I have no idea.

Slow and gentle doesn't have that many problems.

Instead, he looked at Zhou Nanbei and said, "Little Nanbei,"

Go on.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "It's precisely because Zhang Qishan knows the strength of the Zhang family..."

Therefore, he needs to rely on external forces.

He then revealed the Zhang family's secret: the Qilin bloodline, and their highest-ranking general...

This moved me deeply.

The end result was that they established a force called "It," and during this time,

Zhang Qishan then led his men.

We began to explore the secrets of the Zhang family. I won't go into the details, but anyway, after several major operations...

The Nine Gates have lost most of their elite forces.

Now let's talk about Ninth Master. Around that time, Zhang Qishan, seeing that things were going nowhere, decided to fake his death.

Or the years before or after his death and disappearance.

Ninth Master finally understood.

Everyone was just a pawn in Zhang Qishan's game, so he dared not trust anyone anymore, only himself.

Around the 1970s,

After the life of "its" organization's supreme leader ended, those members of "its" organization...

They organized an archaeological expedition.

But the real reason for the funeral was that they believed that if the body were buried in the mysterious Zhang Family Ancient Building, there would be a chance of resurrection.

It was at this time that Ninth Master seized the opportunity, after the archaeological team entered Banna, Guangxi.

Ninth Master, along with the Xie family,

Disguised as a member of the archaeological team, he planned to kill them and take their place.

But in this matter...

Something unexpected happened: in those days, there was a food shortage.

Seeing the archaeological team's extravagance, the villagers harbored malicious intentions. When Ninth Master and his men arrived...

They discovered they were already dead.

So Ninth Master went along with it and replaced those people. Meanwhile, during this period...

Ninth Master arranged for people to disguise themselves.

They deliberately and extensively destroyed those lists and even the documents. After doing all this,

Ninth Master made a desperate gamble.

They took the body from the funeral procession, but due to the identity of the body, and the people it had organized at the time,

Not all of them died.

A large-scale manhunt was launched. With nowhere else to turn, Ninth Master arrived in Hangzhou.

We found Dog Fifth Master.

Because of his marriage to a woman from the Xie family, Fifth Master Dog could not possibly sit on the sidelines.

So, after discussing it,

Thus, this Southern Song imperial tomb came into being. They placed the body here, knowing later that it wouldn't allow him to live.

So he committed suicide.

They told the public that he would "die of old age," but that was just an excuse.

My question is,

Whose body is this?

Little ones, guess who the corpse I'm about to write about is?

Haha, there were three people last time.

You guessed right, the one wielding the knife was "Black-backed Sixth Brother".

The author expresses his gratitude.

Thank you, little darling!
