Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

"Brother Wu Xie..."

She murmured Wu Xie's name, her face full of sorrow.

Among the Nine Gates, she had the best relationship with Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen, having grown up together since childhood.

"Brother Wu Xie, please wake up soon. I won't make you angry anymore, I've been teasing you so often..."

"Waaah..."

When Xie Yuchen saw Huo Xiuxiu wailing, he felt a pang of pity.

He could only cough lightly and say helplessly, "Wu Xie, stop hiding and come out."

Wu Xie scratched his head and walked out from the corner of the courtyard.

"Xiuxiu, long time no see!"

But who knew that after Huo Xiuxiu saw Wu Xie, her eyes suddenly rolled back and she fell straight down!

Seeing this, Wu Xie was terrified and rushed over!

If anything were to happen to Huo Xiuxiu, he would be held responsible.

On the other side, Xie Yuchen panicked when he saw Huo Xiuxiu faint.

He quickly lifted Huo Xiuxiu's wrist to take her pulse.

However, Huo Xiuxiu's pulse was steady, showing no signs of disorder whatsoever.

Xie Yuchen's heart skipped a beat, and when he saw Huo Xiuxiu's eyes darting around under her eyelids, he immediately understood.

He stood up without making a sound and gave his seat to Wu Xie.

Seeing that Wu Xie couldn't wake Huo Xiuxiu no matter what he did, he was so anxious that he almost cried.

Xie Yuchen was finally satisfied and quietly left the courtyard.

On the other side, while Wu Xie was anxiously scratching his head, not knowing what to do, Huo Xiuxiu on the ground burst out laughing.

"you……"

Huo Xiuxiu laughed and got up from the ground, her eyes full of cunning.

"Hehe, just kidding! I know you're still alive from your second uncle. How was my acting?"

The century-old ginseng was personally delivered by Wu Erbai. Before leaving, he had spoken with Li Changsheng and naturally knew that Wu Xie would wake up.

Wu Xie shook his head helplessly, only then remembering that Fatty Wang was still lying in the coffin.

He quickly stepped forward, lifted the coffin lid, and freed Fatty Wang.

"Ouch, I'm about to burst!"

Huo Xiuxiu glanced at Fatty Wang and quickly grabbed Wu Xie's sleeve.

"Brother Wu Xie, your second uncle said the owner of this shop is a reclusive master. Could I meet him?"

"this……"

Wu Xie hesitated for a moment.

The main problem is that Li Changsheng gives out business cards all the time, and judging from his attitude, most people who accept his business card are likely to die young.

Wu Xie himself is a living example.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie quickly gave a perfunctory reply.

"I'll introduce you another day. I have things to do right now!"

Hearing this, Huo Xiuxiu was somewhat disappointed. But she wasn't too bothered; she felt she had already made a huge profit by pretending to faint and scare Wu Xie.

After all, you don't usually see Wu Xie like this!

"Alright, alright, I just came to take a look, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, Huo Xiuxiu left the shop happily.

After she left, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang moved the mahogany coffin to Wu Shan Ju.

the next day.

Wu Xie, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, rushed into the backyard of Li Changsheng's shop in a great hurry.

He saw Li Changsheng sitting under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, but dared not approach. He only stood under the eaves, wailing, "Brother, why do I feel like I'm on fire when I'm in the sun? I almost lost my life!"

Li Changsheng glanced at him sideways and casually said, "Nonsense, you're not human anymore. But it's not a big problem. I'll have Fatty buy you a hoodie. You can just carry an umbrella with you when you go out during the day."

Wu Xie cannot be exposed to the sun, but the problem is not serious; he just needs to be shielded from the sunlight.

After all, he wasn't a complete zombie; he still retained a portion of a living person's soul and spirit, only his body was dead.

Wu Xie nodded as if he understood, and quickly called Fatty to help him buy clothes.

After most of the day had passed, he put on the clothes that the fat man had bought, and his appearance actually resembled Zhang Qiling.

"Oh, Tianzhen, you look exactly like that guy! You know, he always wears hooded clothes, so maybe he also...?"

Wu Xie thought for a moment, then shook his head in denial.

"No, he wasn't wearing a hooded coat when he was disguised as Baldy Zhang..."

"That's just some hair loss! Poor thing, so young and already balding!"

"..."

Wu Xie almost lost his composure.

He glanced at Fatty Wang and thought it best not to let the young man know that Fatty Wang was making fun of him like this.

After changing into a hooded coat and holding up a black umbrella, Wu Xie was finally able to walk in the sunlight.

He hurriedly ran to Li Changsheng's side, serving him tea and water.

"Brother Li... no, from now on I should call you Boss. Boss, is there anything you need to tell me?"

Li Changsheng thought for a moment. According to the plot, Lao Yang from Qinling should be coming to Hangzhou soon.

Lao Yang is Wu Xie's childhood friend. His real name is Xie Ziyang, and he spends most of his time tomb raiding in other places.

However... the Lao Yang who came back this time wasn't the real Lao Yang.

The real Lao Yang died three years ago in a cave in the Qinling Mountains, and he died at the hands of this clone he had created.

The clone Lao Yang inherited the original's memories and the ability to transform, but his memories are slowly fading, especially his memories of his mother.

The purpose of the clone Lao Yang returning to Hangzhou this time was to trick Wu Xie into touching the Bronze Tree in the Qinling Mountains.

He wanted to use Wu Xie's memories of his mother to conjure up a real person and resurrect his deceased mother!

The clone Lao Yang is both righteous and evil, his sole obsession being to resurrect his deceased mother. He is willing to sacrifice anyone for this.

Besides that, he didn't want to be erased by the original body, so after escaping from the cave, he didn't go back to save the original body. Instead, he directly blew up the cave, trapping Lao Yang's original body to death!

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng asked, "Wu Xie, don't you have a friend named Lao Yang?"

Wu Xie's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he asked with slight surprise, "Yes, boss, how did you know?"

"Never mind how I know, I'm giving you a task. These next few days, go to Wushan Residence and keep watch. If you run into Lao Yang, bring him to see me."

Wu Xie nodded in agreement, then explained, "Although Lao Yang and I are as close as brothers, he's been living in another city for the past few years and hasn't contacted me in a long time. I'm not sure where he is!"

"It's okay, wait a week. If there's no news, then forget about it."

Li Changsheng wanted to meet Lao Yang, firstly to see just how powerful the Bronze Divine Tree's transformation ability really was.

Secondly, there's the issue of the clone Lao Yang's condition; it's hard to say whether he's alive or dead. If he can trigger a quest, he remembers there's another cloned archaeological team near the Bronze Tree, with even more members. It's worth a trip; maybe he can exploit a bug and trigger a dozen or so quests at once!

Anyway, it won't take long, and the system doesn't have a time limit, so waiting a few days won't hurt.
