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

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella flew in from afar, and Wu Xie grabbed it, saying, "The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella will take you away."

"What about you, Brother Tian?"

"Leave me alone and go."

After Wu Xie and A Ning left, only Wu Tianjiao was left to face the ghosts. A short while later, Xiao Ge descended from above like a divine warrior, firing his gun as he flew down.

Wu Tianjiao was slightly taken aback. "Why are you here? Are you worried about me?"

Wu Tianjiao thought he wouldn't get a reply.

But after a short while, the guy suddenly gave a faint "hmm".

The young man never met his parents; he was taken to the Zhang family by a mysterious stranger at birth. As he grew older, around seven or eight years old, that same person frequently took him to tombs.

Chapter 147: Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers, Ghost Soldiers Appear Suddenly

The tomb contained not only various traps and mechanisms, but also all sorts of eerie and terrifying things, things that defied explanation. This would certainly be very frightening for a seven or eight-year-old boy.

Living this kind of life year after year, the young man gradually became more and more withdrawn.

Especially after he learned why that person did it, he began to distrust everyone and even avoid contact with anyone.

From the moment he was born, he had a special kind of blood flowing through his body.

This blood can repel insects and evil spirits, and ward off zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).

That's why he had such an unfortunate childhood.

As he grew up, the deep-seated childhood trauma often haunted him. Coupled with frequent amnesia and occasional personality splits, he became increasingly lonely, feeling that he had no friends, no one cared about him, and no future.

It wasn't until Wu Tianjiao appeared that he truly understood the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and the true nature of human emotions. However, he often didn't know how to express himself to the other person.

Sometimes he even feels a little scared, scared of a personality like his own at 16.

People get tired of him after spending a lot of time with him, and they may never become friends again. So, he secretly reads books, especially those about interpersonal relationships.

The book says that whether it's love, friendship, or family affection, we all learn to express it.

If you don't express yourself, others will never know what you're thinking, and gradually, their concern for you will fade. Therefore, learning to express yourself is the key to managing interpersonal relationships.

The young man's soft "hmm" was his way of expressing himself to Wu Tianjiao. Although it was a bit stiff and clumsy, it was the first step he had taken.

Hearing the young man's simple "hmm," Wu Tianjiao felt a mix of joy and mixed emotions.

Perhaps no one in this world understands Xiao Ge better than him.

Actually, the guy isn't incapable of expressing himself or speaking; he just becomes very lively when he puts on the bald man's mask.

This young man has endured far too much in his life; he simply doesn't want to face who he is now.

Suddenly, a masked figure attacked the young man from behind. Wu Tianjiao reacted swiftly, gripping his black gold ancient sword with both hands, and with a single, swift strike, he killed the masked figure who had attacked the young man from behind.

“Zhang Qiling, from this day forward, I, Wu Tianjiao, will be your friend for life. You are not a person without a future. Even if you disappear from this world, there will be people who will miss you. No matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you. No, to be precise, I will not let you disappear, absolutely not.”

As he spoke, Wu Tianjiao brandished the Black Gold Ancient Blade a few more times.

One after another, the blades of light slew and killed more than a dozen ghosts.

Upon hearing Wu Tianjiao's words, Zhang Qiling smiled. He smiled happily, more so than he had ever smiled in his entire life.

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xiao, I've brought A Ning back. You should come back soon too. Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xiao, did you hear me? The Thousand Chance Umbrella is in my hands now. Do you need me to go and return it to you?"

Wu Xie's voice came from the ship opposite.

While wielding the Black Gold Ancient Blade to slay the ghosts and the mutated human-faced Lian, Wu Tianjiao said, "Did you hear that, brother? It's not just me who's your brother, Wu Xie is too. He might say something silly, but it's from the bottom of his heart. So you're not alone at all."

Zhang Qiling was also wielding his sword to kill the enemy, then paused for a moment in thought.

How did he know who I was? Did you tell him?

Wu Tianjiao was taken aback.

“Hey, don’t wrong me, Zhang Qiling. I didn’t tell him your identity. But don’t underestimate Wu Xie. Although he’s a bit simple-minded and doesn’t have much experience in tomb raiding, he’s very smart. He can figure out many things with just a little thought.”

Wu Tianjiao truly couldn't imagine what Wu Xie would become when he lost his innocence. With his brilliant mind, it's no wonder he ultimately overthrew the entire Wang family in the novel *Sand Sea*. However, compared to the future "Evil Emperor," Wu Tianjiao still preferred his current innocence.

Sometimes it's better for people to live a simpler life. Living too complicatedly and having too many thoughts can be exhausting. Zhang Qiling nodded slightly after hearing Wu Tianjiao's words.

"know."

Just then, more and more ghosts and human-faced figures gathered around.

All of these things are built upon a foundation of human suspense. It's enough to show just how many people died in this underwater tomb.

Besides the usual burial victims, there were likely also those who were the victims of experiments conducted here. Failed experiments would turn into sea monkeys, but not every failed experiment could turn into a sea monkey.

Unable to transform into sea monkeys, they slowly turned into these vengeful spirits. Then, the vengeful spirits slowly evolved into human-faced shamans.

Wu Tianjiao looked at Zhang Qiling.

"Young man, could you let me witness the power of the Ghost Seal?"

The young man didn't have the Black Gold Ancient Blade in his hand before, but it suddenly appeared out of thin air. Wu Tianjiao guessed that this Ghost Seal must also have the ability to manipulate space.

Wu Tianjiao wasn't sure what other functions it had, but according to his understanding, it also had the ability to teleport.

However, no matter what other skills this Ghost Seal may have, its greatest skill is the ability to summon ghost soldiers.

The last time it appeared at the Seven Star Lu Palace, the ghost soldiers only appeared briefly and then disappeared. They did not unleash their true power.

Wu Tianjiao was genuinely curious about what kind of Yin soldiers would be summoned by the Ghost Seal under Xiao Ge's control. Zhang Qiling remained silent for a long while in response to Wu Tianjiao's request.

The Ghost Seal is not only a divine weapon, but also the key to unlocking the ultimate gate.

In a sense, its existence is far more precious than the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish. Therefore, this thing is a secret. Let alone showing it to others, even if that person accidentally learns that the Ghost Seal truly exists in this world...

He also needed to find a way to make him forget. But these 760 people were Wu Tianjiao, and the young man couldn't refuse his request. Although he still didn't know Wu Tianjiao's identity, which sect he belonged to, or who his master was.

There's absolutely no way a master like Wu Tianjiao could appear out of nowhere. But Zhang Qiling trusted Wu Tianjiao and his intuition. Zhang Qiling took out the Ghost Seal.

It was a piece of pure black jade, with a lifelike jade unicorn carved on it, almost identical to the tattoo on the young man's body. The only difference was that the unicorn on the Ghost Seal was stepping on three little ghosts, which is the legendary "Qilin Stepping on Ghosts".

After taking out the Ghost Seal, the young man slowly closed his eyes.

After a spell was chanted, a miraculous scene unfolded: many ghostly soldiers actually appeared.

There were even more ghostly soldiers than Wu Tianjiao had seen in the Seven Star Lu Palace, and they appeared to be much more robust. The moment the ghostly soldiers appeared, both the spirits and the human-faced demons were terrified and tried to flee.

"Brother, let your ghost soldiers stop for a bit. Since you're being so generous, I can't be stingy either." Zhang Qiling slowly opened his eyes, not understanding what Wu Tianjiao meant by that.

Wu Tianjiao smiled mysteriously, then took out a handful of soybeans from his spatial pouch. He scattered them into the air, and immediately a whole platoon of red-clad soldiers appeared.

Backup relay group

They stood neatly at the top of the stairs.

They protected the path of those vengeful spirits.

Zhang Qiling narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Scattering beans to create soldiers."

Chapter 148: Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, Ghostly Steps

Wu Tianjiao was taken aback. "Brother, you actually know this unique skill of mine."

Wu Tianjiao was somewhat disappointed. He had originally wanted to show off in front of the young man, but he never expected that the young man would actually recognize his newly acquired skill.

This is understandable, though. The young man is a seasoned veteran; he's seen it all. After all, he's lived from the Republic of China era to the present.

Of course, Wu Tianjiao didn't know that although the young man remained expressionless, he was incredibly shocked inside. "Scattering beans to create soldiers" wasn't a divine weapon, but a skill.

It was created by Fuxi, the senior brother of the Queen Mother of the West.

This skill is probably much harder to preserve than divine weapons.

Because the Ghost Seal is always there, regardless of whether you possess it or not.

But spells are different.

It requires extremely high talent to inherit it. And judging from the quality of the divine weapons that Wu Tianjiao just conjured, it cannot be said that he has reached a state of perfection.

But he's pretty much mastered the basic skills. Is Brother Tian a descendant of the Fuxi clan?

The soldiers that Wu Tianjiao conjured from beans were so lifelike that even the ghost soldiers looked at each other in disbelief.

The vengeful spirits that were trying to escape were once again terrified.

"Hey buddy, we should get down to business."

The reason Wu Tianjiao asked the young man to take out the Ghost Seal was actually...

It wasn't just to witness the power of the Ghost Seal.

He didn't use the "scattering beans to create soldiers" skill just to show off.

Instead, he wanted to find a soul among them. These ghosts were their souls. And the number of Yin soldiers inside the Ghost Seal was not infinite.

These ghosts can also increase the number of his ghostly soldiers. As for these ghosts, being taken in by them gives them a home, which is better than them being wandering ghosts on this ship.

Humans may fear them, but humans aren't pushovers either. If they encounter a few capable individuals, they probably won't even be able to become ghosts. The young man nodded.

Being more than four cycles older than Wu Tianjiao, he naturally knew better than Wu Tianjiao how to deal with these ghosts and human-faced curtains. However, he also greatly admired Wu Tianjiao's insight, considering he was only in his forties and still living in the new society.

Such extensive knowledge is truly rare. The black-armored ghost soldiers and the yellow-armored bean soldiers moved out simultaneously, attacking the ghost.

In no time at all, the ghost and the human-faced figure were captured by a group of ghost soldiers and bean soldiers. Zhang Qiling took out the Ghost Seal.
