Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn
Chapter 166 Yin Nanfeng's Plans
Yin Nanfeng stared blankly at Li Changsheng, who had white hair, beside her, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
She never imagined that there really were people in this world who knew Taoist magic.
The Qimen Dunjia formation diagram floating and glowing behind Li Changsheng was truly awe-inspiring.
However, this was followed by deep doubts.
Who exactly is Boss Li? Why would Zhang Rishan ask him to save him?
Yin Nanfeng's mind was in complete turmoil until he escaped the Suspended Soul Staircase and saw Zhang Rishan, Black Glasses, and the others at the tomb entrance, which brought him back to his senses.
"Nanfeng, are you alright?" Zhang Rishan was usually stern and unsmiling, and even his concern seemed very cold.
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't care about Yin Nanfeng, whom he had watched grow up, but rather that he knew he possessed the bloodline of the Qilin, which granted him longevity and made it difficult for him to bring happiness to others.
Yin Nanfeng shook his head and looked at Zhang Rishan.
"You old codger, you actually dared to leave the Crescent Hotel?"
Zhang Rishan usually stays at the Crescent Hotel and rarely goes out.
Yin Nanfeng often mocked him, calling him an old codger and an antique.
Zhang Rishan didn't mind, and simply smiled and introduced, "This is Boss Li, you've met him before."
At this point, Zhang Rishan paused and nodded to Li Changsheng.
"Boss Li, thank you for your help. If you need payment, you can find me in the capital. Also, I hope you can help rescue the rest of the people."
"Can."
Li Changsheng's words were concise and to the point.
He was just doing this on the side to earn some extra money. Getting a task like this was already a pleasant surprise.
In a good mood, Li Changsheng readily agreed.
However, at that moment...
Yin Nanfeng's eyes darted around, and he suddenly said, "Wait!"
Everyone looked at her in confusion, only to see Yin Nanfeng give a sly smile.
"Boss Li is exceptionally capable. I wonder if he'd be willing to take on another job. Don't worry, the old geezer's payment is his business, and my payment is mine. Let's keep things separate."
"Tell me about it..." Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but neither agreed nor refused.
"Although I couldn't unravel the mystery of the Suspended Soul Staircase, we haven't come away empty-handed these past few days. We discovered that this tomb is a nested tomb, a tomb within a tomb! Moreover, the burial chambers have come to life, forming a rare ghost tomb."
"Besides, what Li Chunfeng built wasn't a tomb at all. It was a treasure vault. The human-faced spiders kept outside, the suspended soul staircase, and other mechanisms were all designed to prevent outsiders from entering the treasure vault!"
Yin Nanfeng finished speaking in one breath, her face looking somewhat pale.
She was trapped on the Suspended Staircase for more than a week. Although she was not seriously injured, she was mentally exhausted.
Seeing this, Zhang Rishan's servant, Tingnu, hurriedly stepped forward, took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, and handed it to her.
Yin Nanfeng took the water and drank it all in one gulp. After a moment, he continued, "Wang Xiansheng and I discussed it for a long time, and we finally determined that the item hidden in the tomb should be the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book that Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, secretly ordered Li Chunfeng to find at the end of the Zhenguan era!"
"This edict of Emperor Taizong was kept secret, and Wang Xiansheng only found clues about it in Yuan Tiangang's tomb many years ago."
When Yin Nanfeng said this, both Zhang Rishan and Hei Yanjing were taken aback.
"The Dragon Bone Heavenly Book?"
Black Glasses repeated himself, then gasped, "Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou deduced the Eight Trigrams, and the final diagram was written on two pieces of dragon bone. It is said that the secret to immortality is recorded on them."
"That's right, it's King Wen of Zhou's Dragon Bone Heavenly Book!"
Hearing this, even Zhang Rishan was somewhat unsettled.
But he quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "No, it's too dangerous!"
Yin Nanfeng didn't even look at Zhang Rishan; instead, he stared intently at Li Changsheng.
"Boss Li, you'll escort me into the tomb and retrieve the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. The reward is negotiable. There are very few things in the world that our Crescent Moon Hotel can't afford."
Yin Nanfeng was full of confidence.
However, what she said was true; the Crescent Hotel has a long history, dating back to the Qing Dynasty.
With hundreds of years of accumulation, it has a profound heritage.
Especially the items they auctioned, every single one was a treasure. Many were genuine artifacts.
For example, during the Republican era, the Crescent Hotel once auctioned off a piece of deer antler grass that was said to have the power to bring the dead back to life.
I had known that deer antler grass was a legendary herb.
The fact that the Crescent Hotel was put up for auction speaks volumes about its strength.
Moreover, this kind of auction has happened more than once or twice.
Over the centuries, countless treasures have been auctioned off.
The Crescent Hotel's financial and material resources, as well as its influence, are unimaginable!
Li Changsheng looked at the confident Yin Nanfeng and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He lacks nothing, except perhaps funeral escort missions. But missions aren't as common as cabbages; they're not available everywhere.
After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng said, "Miss Yin, why don't you tell me what kind of reward you can give me?"
"The clothes Mr. Li is wearing are quite valuable, so he must be well-off. Using items from the Crescent Hotel auction as payment would probably just be copying someone else's work."
At this point, Yin Nanfeng paused slightly, glancing subtly at Zhang Rishan. He had clearly guessed Zhang Rishan's reward.
She continued, "How about this? The Crescent Moon Hotel has pretty good intelligence. If Boss Li needs any help from the Crescent Moon Hotel in the future, whether it's for finding out information or anything else, the Crescent Moon Hotel will definitely do its best to assist."
"make a deal……"
Li Changsheng readily agreed.
Yin Nanfeng truly lives up to his reputation as the heir to the Crescent Moon Hotel; he's very good at business.
With just a moment of observation, he accurately grasped Li Changsheng's needs.
Li Changsheng wasn't short of money, nor was he lacking in treasures. After all, he didn't care much for ordinary antiques, and even rare treasures like Deer Resurrection Grass, Corpse-Changing Grass, and Strange Pills were useless to him.
However, since he works alone, he does need some intelligence channels.
This also makes it easier to get things done and find potential mission objectives.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the cicada in the Spring and Autumn Period devoured the snake god so easily.
But that's because the serpent god had already perished, leaving only a remnant of his consciousness.
If it were the Serpent God at his peak, Li Changsheng estimated that even he and Chunqiu Chan wouldn't be a match for him.
There are still quite a few ancient gods alive, and he'll definitely encounter them in the future. Therefore, Li Changsheng still needs to continue improving his strength and completing more missions.
Yin Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Li Changsheng's words, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Boss Li, let's get going without delay. We don't need to bring Foreman Wang and the others along; just some water and food will suffice."
Li Changsheng nodded, and when Yin Nanfeng took a large backpack full of water and food from the waiter at the Crescent Moon Hotel, he grabbed her hand and flew into the Suspended Soul Staircase with her.
