Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 22
Man Lighted Candle, Ghost Blow Light
***
Zhao Guang turned 36 this year.
He was born in Pingyang County in Gunung Walet Jin Agung Prefecture. In his early years, he had worked as an alchemist in mines and was responsible for brewing gunpowder and blasting work in mines.
Later, the regional governor of Swallow Mountain rebelled and invited all the craftsmen in the square to join him. He took advantage of the chaos and fled.
Three years ago, Zhao Guang ended up in Juhe County.
Since he was experienced in mixing gunpowder and concocting explosives, he was recruited by a group of grave robbers and started a fraudulent business for money.
At first he felt that it was detrimental to his character and he felt a little against it.
However, as the amount of work the grave robbers completed increased, his savings also increased. Due to his unique skill set, he quickly becomes the second person in a graveyard robbers gang and gradually becomes addicted to the thrill of grave robberies.
With the stolen goods he had obtained from selling the items from the job of robbing his tomb, Zhao Guang managed to buy a mansion in the City in just over a year. He's married and has a child. He even brought his elderly mother from the chaotic Swallow Mountain County to support him.
In this chaotic world, Zhao Guang's life could already be said to be extremely beautiful.
Therefore, he thought of washing his hands of this business more than once.
Especially after his son was born and his mother was brought in, this thought grew stronger.
Unfortunately, the leader of the grave robbers gang and the others did not allow him to leave.
There is a rule in Great Jin: Kill all the grave robbers mercilessly!
Those who dared to do such a thing were all criminals without exception.
As long as Zhao Guang dared to retreat, even if he only mentioned it once, he would probably become a corpse the next day.
But three days ago, the Thief King, Wang Ba, suddenly gathered all his brothers together and told them something.
Wang Ba said that after years of careful observation, he had found the location of King Lu's tomb.
As long as they could finish this job, they would not have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives. They will also be able to wash their hands of the business. They no longer had to risk robbing the tomb.
This moved everyone, including Zhao Guang.
King Lu!
This is the burial site of the King of the Territory. He had been granted a territory of land after the founding of Great Jin, and the state of Lu was a prosperous land. The burial items in King Lu's tomb must have been priceless!
The wealth within might surpass the combined amount they earned from all the great robbery jobs they had done in the past!
Therefore, everyone agrees!
After a delicious feast of wine and meat, Wang Ba and Zhao Guang brought their friends, a total of seven people, complete with all their equipment. Making use of the night, they came to this forest that was over 10 li away from Juhe County.
The explosion!
Following the loud explosion, a huge stone door finally appeared in front of them.
Due to the fierce explosion, a crack appeared on the stone door.
Zhao Guang stood behind the group and nodded with a smile.
He was not the one who used explosives to blow up the road leading to the tomb, but he was very satisfied with the power of the explosives he prepared this time.
According to past experience, as long as cracks appeared on the stone door, the mechanisms inside the tomb would be severely damaged, increasing the chances of survival.
Judging from the size of the crack, it was impossible to damage the buried treasure.
"Hahaha, Second Bro's explosives have really gotten better and better!"
Wang Ba laughed loudly and turned to Zhao Guang. “From today onwards, your mother is my mother. Your wife and children are my family.
"As long as we're in Giant Deer County, we won't let them suffer any grievances!"
“Haha, thank you Brother.” Zhao Guang cupped his fists and smiled.
Right now, he was still relying on his boss. He wanted to earn more after this job, so he naturally would not offend this boss.
However, he felt that what Wang Ba had just said sounded a little strange.
"Sister, Second Brother, let's quickly open the door of the tomb and see what treasures are inside."
"Yes yes. Let's do it fast. Recently, quite a number of young disciples from the martial sect had left the county town. They like nosy.”
“The explosion just got a little too loud. We better find it fast. This is King Lu's tomb! Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone started talking one after another as they worked together to push the stone door open.
All of them are skilled in martial arts. With the combined efforts of the five of them, they quickly moved the stone door of King Lu's Tomb, which weighed thousands of catties, into a gap wide enough for two people.
“Haha, it's open! It opens! Treasure is right in front!”
One of them cheered, feeling as if a mountain of gold and silver was right in front of him. He immediately rushed through the crack.
"Wait for this father!"
The other two also ran in.
Wang Ba and Zhao Guang were in no hurry to enter.
These are their rules. The younger brother will enter first while the two leaders will enter later.
After the three people in front entered, the two took out some lanterns and lit a candle inside before walking slowly into the tomb.
King Lu's tomb is very beautiful. It was practically built according to the style of the land belonging to King Lu when he was alive.
Even experienced grave robbers like Wang Ba and Zhao Guang were amazed. With each step they took, they could see the treasure that left them dumbfounded.
"Damn it, the treasure vault, it really is a treasure vault!" Wang Ba's eyes twinkled, and even his voice trembled slightly. He subconsciously smiled and said, "Mine, this is all mine .. ours!"
“...” Zhao Guang, who was walking beside him, frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong with Wang Ba today.
He seemed too excited.
He also realized that there were no more voices ahead.
The three brats seemed to know how to plunder secretly. At all times, they would make noisy tombs like wet markets.
"What the hell is going on?" Wang Ba also looked confused. He looked at Zhao Guang beside him and thought, "It shouldn't be the time yet ..."
Back then—
"Ohhh!!"
"The ghost! A ghost!"
"Run!"
An extremely frightened scream suddenly came from the front.
Immediately after, three figures dashed out from the tomb like they were running for their lives.
All of their faces were pale, as if they were extremely frightened.
"What's going on?!" Wang Ba shouted, "Don't run!"
"What ghost?!" Zhao Guang immediately became alert and took out a black donkey's fingernail from his chest pocket!
In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived before the two.
"Sister man! Second Brother! Hurry up…"
The three of them wanted to shout, but their voices suddenly stopped. Their bodies twitched violently, and they actually died from bleeding from their seven holes in the blink of an eye!
When Zhao Guang saw this scene, he felt like his scalp was going to break from fear. He hurriedly looked at Wang Ba beside him. "Sister, why don't we ..."
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy and his entire body was wracked with intense pain. He could feel a warm sensation coming from his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and seven holes. He might bleed.
Blood flowed from all seven holes!
"You?!" Zhao Guang's eyes widened as he looked at Wang Ba in disbelief. His eyes were filled with anger and hatred.
"Hehe, my brother, go in peace." Wang Ba turned to look at him, his eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered, "Everything here should have been mine from the start!"
"G-ghost!" Zhao Guang suddenly exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the area behind Wang Ba.
“What dog ghost? There is no such thing in this world!” Wang Ba had raided countless graves before. He did not believe in the existence of evil things. As he mocked Zhao Guang, he turned to look.
However, this scene made him freeze as if he had been struck by lightning on the spot.
He saw a strangely dressed young man slowly walking out of the gloomy and dark tomb, walking towards him step by step.
Somebody!
There's actually someone inside!
In King Lu's tomb, which had been sealed for over a hundred years, there was actually a sixth person besides them!
Hu –
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew from within the tomb.
Wang Ba was surprised to learn that the candle in his lantern had been extinguished.
Men light candles!
Ghosts blow the light!
"No! Don't come!”
Wang Ba was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he cried out in fear.
At this moment, he felt something explode in his head. An indescribable fear instantly overflowed!
