Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

I really hope Wu Xie can stay like this forever.

"Brother Tian, ​​I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little bit of both Chinese and Western food."

Wu Tianjiao picked up a tea egg. "I'm fine with anything. I'm not too picky about food."

"Wu Xie, do you know about the Nine Gates?" Wu Tianjiao asked while peeling an egg.

The two of them talked as if they were having a chat.

Wu Xie also picked up an egg, but after cracking it twice, he froze before he could even crack the shell. Then he nodded.

"I've heard of the Nine Gates; they're a mysterious organization formed by families of tomb raiders." Wu Xie paused for a moment, then realized what was going on.

"Brother Tian, ​​are you saying this snake-browed bronze fish is related to the Nine Gates?"

“But how is that possible? From what I understand, the Old Nine Gates was an organization that was only established during the Republic of China era, while this snake-browed bronze fish is an artifact from thousands of years ago. How could it possibly be related to the Old Nine Gates?”

Wu Tianjiao stopped peeling the skin.

He then said, "Because there isn't just one snake-browed bronze fish, but many."

"The Nine Gates are actually divided into the Upper Three Gates, the Lower Three Gates, and the Peaceful Three Gates."

“Wu Xie, your Wu family is actually from the Ping Sanmen.”

Wu Xie was taken aback. "Our Wu family is also part of the Nine Gates? Why has no one ever told me this before?"

Wu Xie only knew that his grandfather and third uncle were tomb raiders.

No one had ever told him that his Wu family was also part of the Nine Gates.

He only learned about tomb raiding before his grandfather passed away.

Grandpa said that tomb raiding was something from a long time ago, and the Wu family hasn't done that kind of business since the 1980s.

I've always been doing honest and straightforward antique business.

Even the third uncle later reformed and joined the archaeological team.

He met Chen Chengcheng's aunt, Chen Wenjin, after joining the archaeological team, and the two almost got married.

Wu Tianjiao was not surprised at all by Wu Xie's words.

It has to be said that the Wu family protected Wu Xie very well.

However, there are reasons for all of these, but the reason is definitely not as Wu Sansheng said, that Wu Xie, as the only son of the Wu family, was worried about his safety.

Rather, there were some things he shouldn't have known at that time.

"The Nine Gates were originally extremely loosely organized, but once again they decided to join forces in what was the largest tomb raiding operation in history. Their purpose in organizing this operation was for the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish."

"Wu Xie, don't you have the notebook your grandfather left you? There should be records in it, right?"

Wu Xie nodded. "Yes, there is, but a few pages of the notebook have been torn out. My third uncle only recently gave me this notebook, and there are many things I haven't had a chance to look at yet."

Wu Tianjiao nodded. "Tianzhen, I want you to tell me seriously, do you really want to know the secret behind this Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish?"

"If I tell you that this bronze fish could bring you a lot of trouble in the future, or even cost you your life, would you still want to know the truth behind this bronze fish?"

Wu Xie fell silent and did not speak again.

After a long silence, Wu Xie looked at Wu Tianjiao and said, "Brother Tian, ​​many people say I'm a bit naive, even heartless, and easily trusting, but I'm not actually that naive. Although neither my grandfather, my father, my second uncle, nor my third uncle would tell me about the Wu family, I know that our Wu family is not as simple as it seems."

Chapter 133: Chen Wenjin's Secret

"Moreover, I always felt that the reason my third uncle didn't tell me the origin of this snake-browed bronze fish was because he wanted me to investigate the truth myself." Wu Xie closed his eyes and sensed it. "My third uncle shouldn't harm me. So I decided to do as my third uncle said. At the very least, I have to figure out why my third uncle wanted to guide me to investigate the truth behind this snake-browed bronze fish."

Wu Tianjiao nodded, having to admit that Wu Xie was smarter and stronger than he had imagined.

“Besides your third uncle, there is another person who knows more about the origin of this snake-browed bronze fish than your third uncle does.”

"Who is it?" Wu Xie asked.

Wu Tianjiao took a sip of milk and slowly said, "Back then, she was the third young lady of the Huo family of the Nine Gates, and now she is the old lady Huo."

"Grandma Huo?"

Wu Xie lowered his eyes, lost in thought.

A day later, Wu Xie and Wu Tianjiao officially set off for the capital, accompanied by Chen Chengcheng and Hai Shao.

At the same time, the system gave Wu Tianjiao a new task: to cause a ruckus at the New Moon Hotel.

He watched Wu Tianjiao's departing figure, muttering to himself, "Who exactly are you?"

"Brother Tian, ​​will you be able to see your sister-in-law and niece when you go to the capital this time?" Wu Xie asked excitedly.

He truly couldn't believe Wu Tianjiao was so capable; what kind of woman could possibly be worthy of him?

Wu Tianjiao shook his head. "They're abroad, but I can introduce you to my other two good brothers."

After boarding the plane, Wu Xie and Wu Tianjiao sat together.

Hey Shao curled his lip, "You forget old friends when you make new ones. How come I have such a good brother like you?"

"Alright, young man, stop complaining. It's because you're nowhere near as good as Brother Tian."

As he spoke, Chen Chengcheng even raised his eyebrows.

"Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

After Wu Tianjiao and Wu Xie sat down, Wu Tianjiao took out a book.

"Innocent, I have a gift for you."

Wu Xie was taken aback. "What gift?"

"Now, this is it."

Wu Tianjiao handed a book that looked like an ancient book to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie took it, thinking it was some kind of book about the past.

"Forging, body, and resolving?"

Wu Xie read the words on the cover word by word, one by one.

Wu Tianjiao nodded.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. But with so many dangers ahead, how can you survive without any self-defense capabilities? Just follow the instructions in this book and practice diligently. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Wu Xie looked at the book in his hand, then glanced at Wu Tianjiao involuntarily, lost in thought.

"Brother Tian, ​​could it really be that God sent this to help me?"

In fact, there are indeed many suspicious points about Wu Tianjiao, such as why he approached me, why he was so nice to me, and why he knew so much about the Old Nine Gates.

They even knew the details of the Wu family's background.

However, Wu Xie could genuinely feel that Wu Tianjiao's kindness towards him was sincere and even selfless.

It seemed as if some unseen force was guiding him, leading him to choose to believe in Wu Tianjiao without hesitation.

That feeling was truly magical.

With Wu Tianjiao by his side, he always felt a strange sense of security.

"Brother Tian, ​​will we be brothers and friends for life?" Wu Xie asked.

The time spent with Wu Tianjiao was less than half a month, but it felt like ten years.

When Wu Xie asked this question, he even felt a sense of tension, afraid of hearing the kind of answer he didn't want to hear.

Wu Tianjiao stared at Wu Xie, bewildered, not understanding what was wrong with him.

Why would you suddenly ask this question?

Wu Tianjiao then nodded, "Of course, as long as you don't mind that I'm older than you."

Wu Tianjiao was joking, but Wu Xie didn't find the joke particularly funny.

However, Wu Xie was happy, even blissful, as if he had gained an older brother to protect him from now on.

"Brother Tian, ​​Wu Xie, I have a few books here, would you like to read them?" Chen Chengcheng asked, sitting in the row behind Wu Tianjiao and the others.

Wu Xie shook his head. "I'm not going to watch anymore. I'm planning to chat with Brother Tian for a while."

"Oh fine."

Chen Chengcheng leaned back in the back seat and started reading a book by himself.

Wu Xie glanced at her and, seeing that she was completely absorbed in her book, moved closer to Wu Tianjiao.

"Brother Tian, ​​can you tell me Chen Wenjin's story? Why did she also know about the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish?"

Wu Tianjiao smiled and said, "Shouldn't you be asking your third uncle or Chen Chengcheng this question? Why are you asking me?"

"My third uncle only told me that Chen Wenjin was the captain of their archaeological team back then. The two of them were in love and almost got married, but Chen Wenjin disappeared inexplicably during an archaeological expedition and has not been seen or found since."

"My third uncle still holds a grudge to this day, which is why he hasn't gotten married all these years."

"As for Chen Chengcheng, she was still young when Chen Wenjin disappeared, so she didn't know anything about her aunt. She only knew that her aunt was a very talented archaeologist."
