Chapter 336: What is the essential difference between being a bandit and tomb robber?
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but get a little excited. Milk tea next to her was extremely excited: "So there really are tomb robbers... There are more! There are more!"
Azhi continued:
“We have experts in our team who are good at breaking traps. The tomb is full of traps. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
But this brother of ours is very familiar with all kinds of traps and is also good at digging holes."
Lin Wanwan looked at him and thought to herself, assembly line, a one-stop service!
Master Bai looked at him and said, "Then tell me if there are any ancient tombs here?"
This involves Azhi's professional field. Azhi nodded and said:
“There is indeed an ancient tomb, near the mountain stronghold of Nanchu.
I have surveyed it repeatedly with a compass. The Feng Shui pattern there is extremely special, and there must be a big secret hidden underground.
Or it could be a large ancient tomb. If you are lucky, you might even find a long-lost treasure map.
How about I take you guys to find out what's going on sometime?"
Master Bai sighed and said, "We're bandits now. Do we have to become tomb robbers? This... this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Liu Quanzhou sat aside, legs casually crossed, and sneered:
"Come on! You've already committed robbery, and you're still trying to find excuses?
What's the fundamental difference between being a bandit and a tomb robber? One robs the living, the other robs the dead. Both are for survival and for money."
Master Bai sighed deeply and said slowly, "You're right. Let's go take a look. Maybe it's a treasure map!"
Liu Quanzhou sat aside and quickly walked over to Master Bai, nodding vigorously. "That's right! There aren't so many rules and regulations in this world. In our current situation, how can we survive if we don't work hard to make money?"
"Besides, we are not those shameless tomb robbers who would plunder everything in someone else's tomb.
What if the tomb contains corrupt officials from the previous dynasty, or bullies who have brought disaster to the local area?
If we take away their burial objects, we can be said to be doing justice for the heavens!" Liu Quanzhou said with a smile.
Lin Wanwan was dumbfounded when she heard this, with only one thought in her mind: he described the tomb robbery in such a fresh and unworldly way. After searching all over the world, perhaps only Prime Minister Liu Quanzhou had such ability.
Seeing that Master Bai was already somewhat tempted, Liu Quanzhou continued to coax him, "Tonight is a dark night with a strong wind. It's a good time to find out what's going on. How about we go and take a look tonight?"
Lin Wanwan was full of regret. She knew she couldn't go, so she could only stare at everyone with a look of loss in her eyes.
Naitang, Nai Cha and Pacifier were so excited that they jumped up and down behind Mr. Bai and the others, their eagerness almost written on their faces.
Master Bai looked at these little guys, feeling both angry and amused, and nodded in response:
"Okay! Take all of you with you.
And that little weasel, stop jumping, you probably want to join in the fun too, come along!"
Lin Wanwan wanted to go too. She groaned several times. Master Bai touched his nose and said, "You little kid, don't join in the fun. Just stay home with grandma and sleep well. Be a good boy."
Lin Wanwan really wanted to go! She also wanted to know what tomb robbing was like in ancient times.
She looked at Master Bai and after a long while, she could only utter one word: "Master..."
Master Bai's face was filled with disbelief. He stared at Lin Wanwan and said, "My dear, what did you just call grandpa? You... you... you... you call me that again."
Seeing this, Lin Wanwan tried hard to straighten her tongue and shouted out a single word: "Master!"
He was stunned at first, then his face flushed with excitement, his mouth stretched from ear to ear, and he laughed heartily: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? My granddaughter can call me grandpa! Hahahaha!"
Master Bai picked her up high in his arms, muttering to himself:
"How come you're so smart! Bring them all!
Qiaoniang, you all should come with us, we can just treat it as a night out to help digest our food."
Mrs. Bai stood aside and sighed softly, but there was a hint of doting smile on her face: "I see, you are really under her control. With just one word, she bought you off!"
Master Bai, along with Lin Wanwan, Liu Quanzhou, Naitang, Nai Cha, Pacifier and Little Weasel, headed towards the mountains near Nanchu Village in a mighty procession.
There was chaos and panic in the Nanchu village.
Qinglong woke up slowly, his head still feeling dizzy.
But when his eyes fell on the place where important supplies and precious sheepskin treasure maps were originally stored, his eyes widened instantly: "Where are the things?"
He almost roared, "Where are all our things? Even the sheepskin map is missing. What happened?"
Bai Hu had just woken up from his coma and was holding his head, shaking his head in confusion.
“I don’t know, we just passed out.
Do you think someone knocked us out?"
Suzaku's face turned red with anger:
"Who did this? These are the lifeblood of the Southern Chu Dynasty!
Without these things, we'd all be doomed!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanwu's brows knitted tightly into the shape of a "川" character, and he slowly spoke:
“Those who can come and go freely here are definitely not ordinary people.
I really don’t know what these people’s purpose is.
If they knew we were from the Southern Chu Dynasty, what would happen to us?"
Hearing this, Qinglong's face turned pale in an instant. He looked at Xuanwu and asked with difficulty: "What should we do now?"
Xuanwu sighed deeply and said:
“I think the most important thing for us now is to work hard to improve our own strength.
We should purchase some military supplies and be ready for battle at any time.
Fortunately, everyone in our village is safe and sound, which is a blessing in disguise."
Qinglong frowned: "We have lost all our money, where can we get more money?"
Xuanwu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qinglong, and spoke slowly:
"Let's first gather together all the money we can in the village to help with this emergency.
Besides, we are bandits. If we want to make money, what other ways do we have?
When this is over, we can go robbing people. As long as we have money, we can solve many problems."
Xuanwu continued:
“Actually, the most important places are those marked on the sheepskin map.
Those are the most important things. As long as we can find the treasure on the map, what do these stolen things matter?
These are just some of the lesser-known items from the Southern Chu Dynasty. The truly priceless treasures are the treasures hidden by our ancestors."
"Yes!" Suzaku couldn't help but blurt out, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Didn't our ancestors say that as long as we find those treasures, we can revive the entire Nanchu!
I want to let those who have bullied us know that the glory of Nanchu will never fade away!"
