The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

If it were another day, she would absolutely not want to get involved.

But today...

Thinking of this, Huo Sanniang did not hesitate and asked Fang Yun directly.

"Master Fang, this is the first time I've ever seen this Ghost Chariot. Would you be interested in accompanying me to investigate it?"

"It's a good opportunity to introduce Master Fang to the members of the Nine Families, excluding the Huo family."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat.

This Huo San Niang is really shrewd... She's only just met them, and she already wants the Tomb Raiders and the Mountain Movers to support her.

But... I still have to go.

The arrival of the ghost carriage in the city marked the beginning of the mine affair. Since his purpose was the mine, he naturally had to keep a close eye on the progress to prevent things from spiraling out of control.

Furthermore, that ghost train is quite interesting; seeing it in person is a must.

Therefore, Fang Yun did not refuse and stood up from the chair.

"Since Master Huo has said so, I can't refuse him."

"Ghost train...I'm quite interested in that too."

...........................

The train station wasn't far from the hotel.

Soon, Fang Yun and Hua arrived at the train station with Huo San Niang and Qi Guniang.

When they arrived at the train station, it was already completely surrounded by the city defense team.

Around the train station, countless people had gathered, probably to watch the spectacle, but no one dared to approach, fearing they might cause trouble.

Huo Sanniang had considerable influence, and when the city defense team heard that she had come to help, they immediately let the four of them pass.

The four of them walked into the train station, entered the platform, and immediately spotted the ghost train.

Fang Yun glanced at it intently.

The ghost carriage was very dilapidated. All the carriages were welded shut with sheet metal, covered with dust and rust, and had a strong earthy smell, as if it had been dug out of a tomb.

The ghost carriage was surrounded by city defense soldiers on both sides.

At the front of the vehicle, several soldiers were using oxy-fuel cutting cylinders to break down the door.

Behind those soldiers stood two men, dressed differently from the city guards in their yellow twill and leggings.

Both men were dressed in dark green military uniforms and tall boots, one of whom was also wearing a military cloak and gloves. Fang Yun could recognize the two officers at a glance.

One was Zhang Qishan, the city defense officer, and the other was Zhang Rishan, the adjutant.

The Zhang family...

"Sanniang?"

At this moment, Zhang Qishan, who was talking to Zhang Rishan, also saw Fang Yun and the other three entering the platform.

Zhang Qishan, accompanied by his adjutant Zhang, stepped forward and asked with some confusion:

"Third Sister, what brings you here?"

"Buddha."

"Greetings, Your Holiness."

Third Sister Huo greeted them with a smile, and Seventh Sister followed suit with a junior's bow.

"Master, Third Sister happens to be free today. Hearing that the Ghost Cart has entered the city, she thought she would come and see if she could be of any help."

After saying that, Huo Sanniang looked at the ghost carriage and frowned.

The ghost carriage was filled with a thick and dense aura of corpses.

If this isn't hiding rice dumplings, then many people have died inside.

A ghost train... it's really eerie!

"Then thank you very much, Third Sister. I've also invited Eighth Brother; he should be arriving soon."

Zhang Qishan nodded calmly, though he was puzzled, he didn't dwell on it.

Although there is competition among the Nine Gates, it is just competition. He has a good relationship with the other eight gates.

The next moment, Zhang Qishan turned his gaze to Fang Yun and Hua.

"Third Sister, since you've brought a friend, aren't you going to introduce them?"

He had seen Fang Yun and Hua, two unfamiliar faces, earlier, but hadn't asked them any questions.

In retrospect, these two unfamiliar faces are also kindred spirits.

Otherwise, Huo San Niang wouldn't have brought these two here.

"Of course I'll introduce it."

"However, since Third Sister's two friends have special identities, Third Sister cannot speak frankly, lest she break the rules."

Huo San Niang's eyes lit up as she looked at Fang Yun and Hua.

Damn, still pretending?

Bringing me and the flowers to Zhang Qishan was just a way to show off on social media...

1.3

Fang Yun inwardly complained, but still smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Qishan:

"Tomb raider, Fang Yun!"

"Move Mountain, Flower!" Seeing that Fang Yun had no intention of hiding anything, Flower also greeted Zhang Qishan.

"The Tomb Raider! The Mountain Moving Master!"

Zhang Qishan was startled, and he also clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fang Yun and Hua Yi, exclaiming in amazement.

"My name is Zhang Qishan."

"It is said that the tomb raiders and mountain movers always work alone and do not associate with other people in the industry. We have only heard rumors about them and never seen them in person. I never thought that I would actually meet my fellow tomb raiders and mountain movers today."

The four factions of tomb raiding are the leaders in the industry. The tomb raiders and the gold hunters are all one family. Apart from the powerful and numerous Unloading Ridge faction, it is harder than finding a needle in a haystack to see people from the other two factions on a regular basis.

Unexpectedly, I witnessed both the tomb raiding and mountain-moving rituals today.

Chapter 161 Zhang Huoqi, the Three Families Gather

Moreover... based on the rumors...

The two people in front of me are the ones who helped Xieling fall down the bottle mountain tomb, but two of them are missing.

If the information they gathered is true... the four members of the Tomb Raiders even managed to rob the tomb of the King of Xian, breaking the thousand-year-old legend that the tomb could never be robbed.

At the same time, Zhang Qishan also figured out Huo Sanniang's little scheme.

She didn't come to help at all...

He was clearly there to show off his strength, wanting to tell the Nine Gates that the Huo family and the Tomb Raiders were acquainted.

This alone will elevate the Huo family's reputation in the industry.

After all... the reputations of the Tomb Raiders and the Mountain Moving Masters are too great.

There are plenty of people who want to befriend these two factions. If these two factions were willing to settle down and open up to guests, they could quickly build a large gambling den.

Of course, he didn't think much of it, because he knew Huo San Niang too well.

Every leader of the Huo family has been so shrewd and calculating; this ability to navigate social situations is one of the key factors in the Huo family's rise to power.

Moreover, he was happy to befriend the top figures in the tomb raiding and mountain-moving trade.

Although he has already embarked on a military career, he started out by tomb raiding, so he will naturally be more friendly when he meets fellow travelers and won't be too rigid.

With the ghost train right next to us, having more people to help is a good thing!

"I've also heard of the name 'Zhang the Great Buddha' of Changsha City."

Zhang Qishan greeted them with a smile, and Fang Yun responded politely in return.

After a brief chat, Qi Tiezui, the eighth-ranked member of the Nine Gates, arrived late.

Fang Yun glanced at Qi Tiezui and saw that he looked like a thin scholar with a weak physique. Just running from outside the station to the platform had left him breathless.

"Hey...Buddha."

As soon as he reached the front of the car, Qi Tiezui began to pant helplessly.

Qi Tiezui was about to complain when he saw Huo Sanniang there, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Third Sister is here too? And why did she bring Little Fairy along?"

"And who are these two...?"

The Huo family has now fully transitioned to business and no longer engages in tomb raiding. Even the buying and selling of antique artifacts has been moved underground.

Huo Sanniang is usually a very busy person, so it's not easy to meet her.

"Old Eight, let me introduce you. This is Brother Fang Yun, who came from the tomb raiding profession, and this is Miss Hua, who came from the mountain moving profession."
