The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

From that moment on, the world lost an antique shop.

……

"My name is Wu Xie. May I ask how you should address me?"

Wu Xie asked.

"Just call me Fang Yun."

Fang Yun said calmly.

"Fang Yun, my third uncle asked me to prepare some things. You can rest at my house for half a day while I prepare everything, and then we can head to where my third uncle is."

……

At this moment, Fang Yun's heart was stirred, and his thoughts returned to those years.

The Nine Gates suffered heavy losses in every battle.

The people of the Nine Gates did not retreat a single step.

"The Nine Gates of this generation have withered away, and Changsha is no longer a place to stay for long. It's time to go to another place (Li Qian's)."

Fang Yun took one last look at Changsha.

I only hope that the Nine Gates will have successors.

……

In Fang Yun's view, living in seclusion in the deep mountains is not the mark of a true hermit.

The small hermit hides in the woods, the great hermit hides in the city.

To live in seclusion in this world is the mark of a true hermit.

They then went into hiding in the city, waiting for the descendants of the Nine Gates.

They hold the secret to immortality!

……

Now he sees Wu Xie coming to find him.

Fang Yun felt a pang of nostalgia for the passage of time.

Uncle Wu was someone Fang Yun had thought about a few years ago when he was bored and wanted to find some clues about immortality.

I just went to explore a tomb, and that's where I met Uncle Wu.

It was also because of the Nine Gates that Fang Yun stepped in to help Wu Sanshuqin.

Otherwise, Uncle Wu would have been buried in the tomb during that tomb raiding.

That's how the two of them came into contact.

It was around that time that Fang Yun told Uncle Wu about 'sacrifice'.

.......

Chapter 228: Encountering Zhang Qi Again!

"Brother Fang Yun, this is my antique shop. Please sit inside for a while while I go out to prepare some things."

After Wu Xie finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Fang Yun stayed inside the antique shop owned by Wu Xie.

Wu Xie was also busy outside collecting the things his third uncle needed.

The things that my third uncle wanted were neither easy nor difficult to gather together.

It took Wu Xie quite a while to gather all these hard-to-find items together.

After collecting all the items, Wu Xie drove back to the antique shop as quickly as possible.

……

Inside the antique shop.

"Third Uncle, I've prepared everything, and I've also called Fang Yun, the owner of that antique shop. Where should we meet?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

"Don't offend that master easily. We still need him to get to the tomb this time. Here's what I'll do: I'll send you my location. Come straight here and we'll meet up there. A few people I called are also waiting for us there. Hurry up."

After finishing his sentence, Uncle San hurriedly hung up the phone.

Wu Xie was even more curious about Fang Yun after hearing his third uncle's words.

This seemingly cold-hearted person actually commands such attention from Uncle Three.

In Wu Xie's memory, such a person is a rare find.

……

"Brother Fang Yun, Uncle San said to go here, let's drive there now!"

Wu Xie said as he packed his things.

And so Fang Yun followed Wu Xie all the way to where his third uncle was.

Along the way, Wu Xie wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

I could only drive silently.

After a long journey, Wu Xie was exhausted.

In contrast, Fang Yun acted as if nothing had happened.

Wu Xie sensed that Fang Yun didn't seem tired at all.

Wu Xie became even more curious about what kind of person Fang Yun really was.

"Hey, Uncle, I've arrived. Where are you?"

"I'll give you a location; drive over here."

Wu Xie's phone then received a location notification.

……

Inside the hotel.

"It is truly an honor for me to have Brother Fang here. Let me introduce everyone to each other."

"This is Fang Yun, Brother Fang. You will all know his abilities once we get to the tomb."

"This is Zhang Qi, a friend of a friend of mine. He heard about this and wanted to come and see."

"This is Pan Zi, we used to do business together in our early years."

"You must all be very tired after such a long journey. Today I'm treating you all to a good meal and a good rest. We'll continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Uncle Wu greeted them warmly.

At this moment, Fang Yun's attention was entirely focused on Zhang Qi.

……

That was on a day thirty years ago.

Inside an ancient tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

This was the first time Fang Yun and Zhang Qi met.

That was also the only time we met.

That was a secret about immortality.

Only Fang Yun and Zhang Qi survived in the enormous ancient tomb.

Even the most dilapidated tombs from the Western Zhou Dynasty may still contain fragments of secrets about immortality.

In this tomb, Fang Yun and Zhang Qi encountered no fewer than three groups of tomb raiders.

Unfortunately, they were just laymen, and the tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty were clearly not places they could visit.

Fang Yun saved Zhang Qi's life in a moment of crisis.

It was through this that the two began their relationship.

Inside the main tomb, the coffin slowly opened.

The trip yielded no results, which was within Fang Yun's expectations.

Immortality is nothing but a myth, a mere illusion.

Fang Yun never saw Zhang Qi again after that.

I didn't expect to meet you here again.

Judging from Zhang Qi's reaction, it was as if he had never seen me before.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Qi has hardly changed from thirty years ago.

"Zhang Qi? A member of the Zhang family? Or Changsheng... This guy is shrouded in too many mysteries."

Fang Yun didn't ask directly.
