Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 13: Tomb Robbers
Simu was a little confused when he heard this. What did it mean to make a breakthrough while practicing? When did practicing become so easy?
However, this is his own apprentice. Simu has seen many geniuses, but there is only one as talented as Jiale. He can't explain it clearly, he is just happy.
"Okay, but Jiale, you have to remember that although your cultivation level has improved quickly, there are always stronger people among the strong, and there are many more talented people than you. Remember not to be proud of this."
Simu remembered what his master had said: Your enemies may be those geniuses, but the enemy of a genius is only yourself.
Jiale nodded. He was only in the early stage of the Refining Essence Realm. What was there to be proud of? If he wanted to be proud, he had to wait until he became a true disciple of Maoshan.
Another ten days passed before Jiale and Simu finally entered Xiangxi. During these ten days, Simu watched Jiale advance from the early stage of the Essence Refining Realm to the middle stage of the Essence Refining Realm. After condensing the fifth essence, the energy beads produced by the green zombie were finally consumed . From now on, Jiale could only rely on himself.
After such an improvement, Jiale actually hoped that some more monsters would appear to generate energy beads for him. Of course, it would be best if they were small monsters that were too powerful for him to defeat.
Originally, Jiale came out with Simu only because he was afraid of the danger of staying at home, but now he kind of likes the feeling of driving corpses out. After all, there wouldn't be so many monsters and ghosts coming to his house. If he were at home, Jiale would probably only be able to condense the second essence at most, and there was no way he could break through to the middle stage of the Essence Refining Realm and condense five essences.
However, until all eight bodies were put down, no abnormal situation occurred.
Eight bodies, and I got eighteen dollars. Yes, there were two more bodies, and I didn’t receive the balance. This business is indeed unstable.
Next, they were going back to Xiangnan, and Jiale and Simu stopped at a charity cemetery to rest.
Boom boom boom!
In the afternoon, the noisy knocking on the door woke up Jiale and Simu, but this was not their own yard after all, so they didn't need to respond.
Seeing that Simu had no intention of getting up, Jiale looked out through the crack in the door.
The owner of the charity cemetery went to open the door, and a group of more than ten people were welcomed into the cemetery. The leader was about fifty years old, with a burly build and a fierce look on his face. There were more than ten people in the group, all of them had a fierce aura, and they were all covered with a strong smell of corpse, probably because they had just come into contact with the corpse not long ago.
Jiale has been staying with corpses every day for the past month, and he is still very sensitive to corpse qi. However, Maoshan has a method to block corpse qi, so he will not be infected by corpse qi. But these people are different. They look strong and powerful, but they are indeed ordinary people without any cultivation.
The owner of the charity cemetery should know this group of people and was quite respectful to the leader.
After a conversation, the leader took a look at the house where Jiale and Simu lived, and then entered other rooms under the arrangement of the owner of the charity cemetery.
"Those are grave diggers. Don't have any contact with them in the future."
Simu had sat up without knowing when.
After hearing what Simu said, Jiale suddenly understood. No wonder there was so much corpse smell on his body. It turned out that they were all tomb robbers.
"Master, do you know them?"
Simu nodded. "Such a strong corpse smell can only be found in these rats. We can smell it from a long distance away. Tomb robbing is rampant in the Xiangxi area, and there are many schools. The Xiangling school is the most prosperous. Do you know any schools of tomb robbing?"
Jia Le nodded subconsciously when he heard this, then immediately shook his head when he came to his senses. He certainly knew something, but that was all from what he learned from watching TV novels in his previous life, so it might not be accurate.
Simu didn't care and continued, "Tomb robbing has existed since ancient times. In the beginning, it was even tacitly approved by the dynasty, and monks participated in it. Some of the secret techniques came from that. This tomb robbing becomes more rampant during troubled times. For example, in Xiangxi, many tomb robbers have even colluded with local warlords. It can be said that they are blatant.
Legend has it that this tomb-robbing school has four branches that have been passed down to this day, namely the Mojin Xiaowei, the Banshan Taoist, the Xiangling Lishi and the Fachou Tianguan.
..."
The more Simu talked, the more Jiale gained a detailed understanding of the so-called tomb-robbing school.
The tomb-raiding lieutenant looked up at the stars in the sky and checked the veins of the earth. He was best at the art of dividing gold and locating burial sites.
The Taoist who moves mountains not only has the skills of dividing mountains and digging for stones, but also has the skills of moving mountains and filling the sea.
The strong men in Xiangling have secret skills of strength. They use big shovels and hoes, pull by oxen and horses, and use gunpowder and earth cannons. They use every means possible.
Fa Qiu Tian Guan, the Tian Guan blesses, there are no taboos, with one seal in hand, all ghosts and gods avoid you.
"Those who just came in should be from the Xiangling clan. Among the four tomb-robbing clans, the Xiangling clan has the largest number of people. It is said that there are more than 100,000 Xiangling warriors in western Hunan, which shows how powerful they are.
There is a seal for finding the truth, a talisman for mojin, a technique for moving mountains, and armor for removing mountains.
The "Xiaoling Lishi" is between the two kinds of livelihoods of the green forest and the hill digging. When there is a tomb, they dig it; when there is no tomb, the leader will pass down the armor plate, and gather in the mountains to rob property. They are always numerous and powerful. As long as they can find a place, they dare to dig even a huge tomb. Naturally, they are the most difficult to deal with. Although we monks have magic, we are no match for thousands of troops after all. Moreover, digging graves is detrimental to our virtue, so we monks must not participate.
It is said that the founder of Xianglingmen was taught a method to increase one's strength by an extraordinary person, so most of the disciples of Xianglingmen are extremely strong and well versed in martial arts, and thus they are called strongmen.
These people are quite powerful, so we should not have too much contact with them, to avoid any trouble. We should just leave at night."
Jiale seemed to be able to sense the deep-seated rejection of Xiangling Lishi in Simu's tone, so he didn't say much and nodded obediently.
After nightfall, Jiale and Simu ate the meal prepared by the owner of the charity cemetery, then walked out of the house and prepared to continue on their journey.
The group of people that they happened to see during the day seemed to be about to leave. The moment they saw Simu, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the person in the lead. He did not rush ahead, but let Simu go first.
Even though the people behind them were knowledgeable, they were still horrified when they saw Simu and Jiale driving away with sixteen dead bodies.
Seeing that this group of people were so nodded secretly. It seemed that this Xiangling Lishi was not the reckless man he had imagined. He knew who to offend and who not to offend. Before leaving, he glanced at the leader and met his eyes. The man actually nodded in a friendly manner.
Ding ding ding!
Jiale just took a look and rang the corpse-driving bell, "Get up! Jump!"
After seeing Simu and Jiale leave, those people started to talk, "Boss, these two corpse drivers seem different from those we have seen before. They have a fierce aura. If you have any bad thoughts, it will be very dangerous."
Tomb robbery is common in Xianglingmen, and the danger level is no less than that of the four-eyed corpse-driving gang, as the gang is the most sensitive to danger.
The chief nodded , "It is indeed different. We are underground, while they are in heaven. In my Xiangzhou, corpse-carrying is popular, but most of them are ordinary people. The two just now are different. They can do it to such a level with just a bell. I am afraid they are Taoist monks. They are not comparable to us. It may not be much more difficult to kill us than to crush an ant. In the future, when you see such people, stay away from them. We can't afford to offend them."
After hearing the leader's words, the others nodded. They only robbed tombs for money and were not afraid of trouble, but they never took the initiative to cause trouble.
It's just a little strange. "If they have such ability, wouldn't it be more effective to come and rob tombs? Why bother driving corpses? How can we make money faster than robbing tombs? Boss, didn't you say that it's difficult to rob tombs this time? Why not invite them and give them some when the time comes?"
The chief glared at him and said, "Don't say such things in the future, or you will bring disaster. If we had no other choice, would we rob graves? It would damage our virtue. You have wanted a child for so many years but you still haven't had one. Why do you think it's for? It's strange that people would be interested in this. Let's go."
