"Xia Guo Nine Gates Exploration Agent?"
"Little Master Zhang, that name sounds so imposing, but why are you so fixated on the overseas market, and overseas tombs?"
Wu Tianzhen asked as they walked.
After all, he had to consider if he agreed, his future tomb-raiding would be confined to foreign territories, which would be a bit disheartening.
However, even though he said that, Zhang Tian hadn't said it had to be only abroad, so Wu Tianzhen still thought he could look back at Xia Guo after the tomb was dug.
"Young Master Wu, think about it. Those foreigners have stolen so many of our tombs, and countless of our treasures have been lost overseas."
"So, I want to take back what belongs to our Xia Guo."
Zhang Tian spoke, and Wu Tianzhen's expression also became solemn.
Wu Tianzhen's original intention was to help Xia Guo retrieve cultural relics. Now that Zhang Tian had this idea, and he also had this idea, wouldn't it be a perfect match?
However, why did Zhang Tian choose him specifically? Wouldn't Hu Bayi be better?
"Little Master Zhang, why did you choose me specifically?"
Wu Tianzhen asked with a puzzled look.
"Because, who else but you? You are extraordinarily talented, and I think highly of you."
Zhang Tian gave Wu Tianzhen a thumbs-up.
Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but touch his cheek bashfully. So, his standing in Little Master Zhang's heart was this high.
Well, he was touched.
"Then, if I agree, Little Master Zhang, can I return to Xia Guo? Or can I only return after I've completed the task?"
"Wouldn't that be..."
Wu Tianzhen asked, his voice filled with some uncertainty, he hesitated.
Zhang Tian thought about it. It was indeed unrealistic to not let him go home.
To further convince Wu Tianzhen to agree, Zhang Tian pretended to think for a moment.
"How about this, you can go back, but you have to promise to rob at least one tomb of a famous person and three noble tombs within a year."
Zhang Tian said, and Wu Tianzhen clapped his hands, looking excited.
"Okay, Little Master Zhang, I agree. When will you teach me?"
Wu Tianzhen didn't hesitate at all. What was there to hesitate about? This was something that could be carved into the family history. Anyone who hesitated was a fool.
"Holy crap, Tianzhen is about to soar, Tianzhen, take me with you."
Wang Banyue saw that Wu Tianzhen was about to take off and quickly grabbed Wu Tianzhen's hand, his small eyes blinking.
"Fatty, don't worry, as long as there's soup for me, there'll be some for you."
Wu Tianzhen patted Fatty's shoulder, very seriously.
"This will be done after we've finished exploring the tombs," Zhang Tian said. After all, it would be too much of a waste of time to teach Wu Tianzhen before the tombs were finished.
Wu Tianzhen nodded, his heart filled with excitement.
This was much more useful than his grandfather's true words.
"Um, Little Master Zhang, do you think I'm useful? Am I also extraordinarily talented?"
Wang Banyue shamelessly squeezed over.
Zhang Tian glanced at the guy.
"Your talent isn't that extraordinary, just like my Fatty. However, you and Young Master Wu can form a small team to fight together. I'll give you a cultivation method, and you'll kill all the foreign graves together."
Zhang Tian gave a thumbs-up.
Wang Banyue also became excited.
The two of them already envisioned themselves constantly retrieving national treasures, being worshipped by thousands, stepping on small graves in the west, and punching small tombs in the south.
It sounded thrilling.
"Boss, there are people ahead," Hu Bayi said suddenly from the side.
Zhang Tian's gaze followed Hu Bayi's to the mountain.
It wasn't unusual to see signs of human habitation on the mountain. Although Fuji Country was economically developed, there were also many poor people, and many in the mountains.
"It's getting dark, how about, Boss, we stay for the night?" Fatty suggested.
The setting sun in the sky cast an orange glow over the entire mountainside. At the same time, looking out from here, apart from the dense vegetation, there was a vast expanse of golden sea in the distance.
It was evident how beautiful the scenery was here.
It was also evident that this was definitely a place with excellent feng shui.
"Fatty, are you sure you're going to ask for lodging?"
"Besides, we don't even know if they'll welcome us. Instead of lodging, why don't we find the tomb tonight?"
Zhang Tian said, and Hu Bayi also felt it made sense.
This Fatty was definitely lonely and cold and wanted a good night's sleep. Zhang Tian could see through his little thoughts.
Seeing that both Hu Bayi and Zhang Tian had said this, Fatty could only shake his head and say no more.
Zhang Tian followed Hu Bayi's gaze upwards.
He saw that in the central area of the mountain range, on a small hill, wooden houses appeared.
In front of the wooden houses were large areas of farmland, looking very peaceful.
Looking in the direction of the setting sun, it was like a painting from a Hayao Miyazaki anime.
"This place..."
Zhang Tian murmured, his brows furrowed.
Isn't this a Dragon Spring?
Could it be...
Zhang Tian suddenly woke up. He looked at Hu Bayi.
"Old Hu, is there a possibility that this is the location of a tomb?"
Zhang Tian suddenly asked.
Hu Bayi's expression also became serious. He took out his compass.
"What's this?"
Wu Tianzhen also leaned closer.
Zhang Qilin looked towards the sea behind him. He really liked this kind of scenery.
"A compass, for finding the way."
Zhang Tian explained simply.
Hu Bayi held the compass and kept calculating.
"The Azure Wolf star is to the left, the Wood Kui Wolf is to the right, and there's the Kang Jin Dragon star in the center, with twin wolves guarding a pearl, and the moonlight can shine here all the time."
"Forming a 'Twin Wolves Yin Moon, Dragon Star Illuminating Auspiciousness' situation. Boss, this is a grand tomb."
Hu Bayi said. By then, the sky had darkened, and the moon was hanging in the sky.
The moon's descending path almost formed a straight line with the entire small wooden house.
"Holy crap, that sounds amazing, although Fatty didn't understand a word," Wang Banyue muttered.
Wang Kaixuan gave him a look of mutual understanding.
"It's very simple. Two wolves stir up yin energy, which then falls into the tomb, is transformed by the Golden Dragon, and finally absorbed by the tomb's owner. This is an extremely good natural feng shui spot."
Zhang Tian said, and Wu Tianzhen and the others nodded. This way, it was understandable.
"Then, Boss, how do we get in? There's a family living here," Fatty asked from the side.
He scratched his head.
"I suspect this small house was built later, and the people inside are probably not ordinary."
"They are likely tomb guardians."
Zhang Tian said, and then looked around again.
"Old Hu, have you found the exact location of the tomb?"
Zhang Tian asked.
"I've found it. It's in the center of the twin wolves, in that well."
Hu Bayi pointed to a well within the three wooden houses, inside the houses.
It was difficult to dig a well on a mountain, even if it were possible, it would be impossible for the owner of the small house alone.
Therefore, this well looked problematic at first glance.
"This wooden house is right around the well, and it looks like it has some significance."
"Let's go, we'll go meet them."
Zhang Tian said, also intrigued.
Hu Bayi followed with his compass.
"Damn, so much knowledge about a tomb," Wang Banyue muttered, touching his head. He hadn't understood anything.
Zhang Qilin walked in a corner, his unique eyes under his hat flickering, and he looked at a willow tree inside the wooden house with sharp eyes.
The willow tree was on one side of the ancient well, giving off a feeling of an inverted willow.
Soon, at the door, before Zhang Tian could even knock, an old man walked out.
