Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Chapter 164 The Old Taoist 'Zuo Ci'

Once he felt the oppressive force dissipate, Black-backed Sixth Brother casually twirled his sword and charged towards Prince Xian.

Every strike is a critical hit.

The sound of blades piercing flesh echoed continuously, a sight that made the old Taoist's lips twitch.

"So fierce?"

In terms of combat strength, the old Taoist priest honestly admitted that he was probably no match for the Black-backed Sixth Brother in front of him.

Meanwhile,

Zhou Nanbei looked at the situation on the field and stroked his chin: "Huh?"

"Isn't King Xian also immune to divine intervention? How come he looks so much weaker than the guardians outside?"

Upon hearing this,

Jingjue chuckled and said, "Look behind the Prince of Xian."

Zhou Nanbei looked over upon hearing the sound.

On the spine behind the King, there was a gap, and inside, bloody, rotting flesh was writhing.

"This...this is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Tai Sui?"

Jingjue nodded slightly: "That's right, it's a ten-thousand-year-old Tai Sui."

Before his death, the King Xian cut open his body.

It was an attempt to create an opening to merge with the ancient Tai Sui, but it didn't persevere until it succeeded.

He died.

Although the body underwent regeneration after death, its original, unblemished state had long since dissipated; therefore, the body of King Xian...

Naturally, it can't compare to the outside.

That complete body of the tomb guardian.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nanbei immediately understood, and at that moment, Black-backed Old Six also beheaded the Prince of Xian with a single stroke.

The head fell off.

Blackback Sixth Brother swung his blade again, splitting the Prince of Xian's head in two.

Black-backed Old Six squatted down.

With a flick of the blade, the Muchen Pearl flew up, and Black-backed Old Six casually took out a piece of cloth.

After wrapping it up,

He then approached Zhou Nanbei: "Young Master Zhou,"

"I've got the Muchen Pearl."

He handed it to Zhou Nanbei, but Zhou Nanbei did not take it.

Instead, she pouted and said, "Having it in my mouth for so long..."

I don't want to take it.

"Have Wu Chan verify that it's real or fake. If it's real, we'll prepare to leave."

Upon hearing this,

Wu Chan rolled her eyes at Zhou Nanbei, then stepped forward to examine him, her eyes suddenly flashing with blue light.

After sensing the shared energy within it

Wu Chan nodded.

"It's true."

As he spoke, a flash of blue light appeared, and the Muchen Pearl in Blackback Six's hand vanished.

See here,

Black-backed Old Six wasn't surprised, but Zhou Nanbei turned to look at Fatty Wang and the others: "Fatty,

"Is everything put away? We should go now."

After Fatty Wang placed the last two bombs,

Retreat rapidly.

"It's all set up. Young Master Zhou, we can leave anytime."

Big Gold Tooth and the others also retreated to Zhou Nanbei's side.

Zhou Nanbei glanced at the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist priest,"

Go by yourself.

"Shall I take you away?"

The old Taoist chuckled lightly: "Of course, I'm very fond of you, young master."

I am not skilled in spatial magic.

He then swiftly approached Zhou Nanbei and the others. Upon seeing this, Zhou Nanbei no longer hesitated.

A time bomb appeared in his hand as he flipped it over.

After simply adjusting it to ten seconds,

They were thrown out, and then spatial energy flickered, and everyone disappeared from their original spot. When they reappeared,

Is already

We're on the small hill platform outside.

Once everyone had regained their footing, Partridge Whistle suddenly asked, "Miss Wu Chan, did you obtain the Muchen Pearl?"

Wu Chan turned to look at Partridge Whistle.

He nodded slightly at her: "I got it. I'll get it when I get back."

Within a month,

I will help you break the curse.

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle's eyes filled with tears, and he burst into unrestrained laughter.

Laughter echoed all around.

Chen Yulou stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Yang!"

A thousand-year-old wish has been fulfilled today.

Others offered their congratulations, and at the same time, a huge explosion resounded through the sky.

Everyone turned to look.

A huge fireball erupted from the mountaintop opposite, accompanied by thick smoke.

The old Taoist's lips twitched:

"Is its power really that great?"

Zhou Nanbei chuckled lightly: "What's so special about this?"

This is nothing.

You haven't seen the truly powerful ones yet.

The old Taoist looked at Zhou Nanbei with surprise.

"Don't try to fool this old Taoist priest,"

"With such immense power, could it possibly be even greater?"

Zhou Nanbei shook his head with a smile.

Instead of explaining, he asked, "Old Taoist Master,"

We've been chatting for so long, and I still haven't had the pleasure of asking your name.

the people heard,

They also looked at the old Taoist priest with curiosity.

The old Taoist priest said gently:

"Old Taoist Zuo Ci."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, while Sheng Shengman reacted quickly.

"Master Zuo Ci,

Your coffin dates back to the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, according to historical records.

You were a figure from the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

That doesn't make sense, does it?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, Zhou Nanbei, and Hu Bayi...

I do remember,

At this moment, he turned to look at the old Taoist priest with a puzzled expression. The old Taoist priest chuckled and said, "I am from the time of Emperor Gaozu of Han."

It's just that he wasn't well-known before.

After achieving mastery of Taoist practices, he began traveling the world during the Eastern Han Dynasty, hence the accounts you see.

That's why I thought

The old Taoist priest lived during the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhou Nanbei smiled and said, "Then let's put it this way..."

Are you trying to act young, you old Taoist priest?

Then he continued, "It can't be recorded in the history books, but it is."

You are a child prodigy.

He was supposedly proficient in Qimen Dunjia and Taoist arts, but now it seems there's a lot of exaggeration involved.

Upon hearing this,

The old Taoist priest blushed, and the others also looked at him with mockery, unable to bear the gazes.

The old Taoist priest, with his neck stiff, said, "After studying for so many years..."

Not yet

"Shall we have the old Taoist priest perform a miracle before us?"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, but they didn't continue the teasing, since the person had already spoken frankly.

They naturally wouldn't hold a grudge.

Zhou Nanbei clapped his hands: "Alright, alright!"

Arrange everything.

We're about to eat, and after that we'll travel by water to retrieve the boat the foreman mentioned earlier.

After the giant blue-scaled python,

Then we set off back to the Crescent Hotel.

Everyone agreed and began making arrangements.

After a while.

Zhou Nanbei and the others gathered together, and Zuo Ci ate while praising the food:

"Not appearing for many years,"

I never imagined that such delicacies would exist in later generations; I truly regret it now.

I deeply regret it.

Everyone chuckled, but then Fatty Wang curled his lip and said, "You old Taoist, looking at your clothes..."

Even if you pluck all your coins, you won't have two taels of copper; you can't afford this meal.

Zuo Ci chuckled lightly: "You little rascal,"

It's just a sarcastic remark.

Why be so stingy?

Then he changed the subject and said, "This old Taoist has lived for so many years..."

They naturally had considerable wealth.

You know that the old Taoist priest was a figure from the Han Dynasty. According to you, he has quite a few antiques.

"And the golden ingots, let the old Taoist dig them up, what kind of food can't we afford?"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang quickly stepped forward:

"Old Taoist priest,"

How could I let someone as otherworldly as you do this kind of work? You should take me, Fatty, with you.

I'll help you.

How about I only charge you 20% of the fee?

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone shook their heads and laughed, but Zuo Ci said something completely unrelated.

"well,

"Old Taoist, why is my cup a little empty?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Fatty Wang gritted his teeth, took his cup, and poured the wine inside into Zuo Ci's cup.

How could that be?

"Isn't that what it is?"

Zuo Ci pretended to refuse: "That won't do, Young Master Zhou said..."

One cup per person,

How could an old Taoist priest steal wine from a junior?

Fatty Wang quickly said, "It wasn't robbery at all!"

This is a gift I'm giving to my elders.

"Filial piety?"

"Yes, yes."

This is a gift from Little Fatty to you.

Fatty Wang said this in a fawning tone.

Looking at Fatty Wang, Zuo Ci picked up his wine glass and drank.

Upon seeing this, Fatty Wang...

He then climbed up the pole: "Then you see, sir,"

This goes with you

"About taking the treasure?"

He looked at Zuo Ci with a hopeful expression.
