Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Listening to the slow, gentle words,

After a moment's thought, Zhou Nanbei also remembered:

"It's the dog that I asked Old Wu to raise for me back then that has come to fruition."

Upon hearing this,

Slowly, she also recalled the past, but instead asked:

"Little Nanbei,

What do you need a dog for?

Then he added, "Although Fifth Master Dog certainly has a knack for raising dogs,

But it seems we don't need it, do we?

Zhou Nanbei chuckled lightly: "It was just a random move."

We certainly don't need it nowadays.

"That wasn't necessarily true back then. Do you remember the corpse dog I told you about?"

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly:

"That's natural, because the Wang family is behind Corpse Dog Hanging."

Xiao Nanbei

"You're the one who didn't accept the Huo family."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "That's right, and more importantly..."

The Corpse Dog Hanging incident was initiated by the Wang family.

The main purpose was to explore the tomb and find the secrets of Wang Zanghai, but they rarely went into the tomb themselves.

They were all organized to hang the corpse dogs down.

But still uneasy, he used a type of snake called the "black-haired snake" to control the corpse.

Or rather, living corpses.

Go down and monitor these Corpse Dog members, the dogs that I had Old Dog Wu train back then...

It is the dogs that can find these living corpses.

It was just a backup plan back then.

Thinking that if they really clashed with the Wang family, they had ways to keep them in check, even though they weren't needed now.

Sheng Shengman nodded slightly.

He then said, "Then we don't need it. Are we still going?"

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

"Why not go? Just because I don't need it doesn't mean Fatty and the others don't."

There are some graves I won't go down into.

The Nine Gates have long been under the surveillance of the Wang family, and given their various schemes, it's inevitable that they will encounter members of the Wang family later.

therefore,

I still need to go to the Wu family's house.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Sheng nodded slowly: "Alright then."

I booked the tickets.

We'll go there in the next few days.

Zhou Nanbei nodded, and then the two began to chat about other things.

…………

The date is November 6th.

Hangzhou, Wushan Residence

Zhou Nanbei and Sheng Shengman walked side by side ahead.

Behind him followed Black-backed Old Six.

As the three of them approached the door, the subordinate at the door bowed slightly.

"Young Master Zhou".

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "Take us to see Old Dog Wu."

Wu family subordinates

Having agreed, he then led Zhou Nanbei and the others towards Wu Shan Ju.

……

A moment later,

In a courtyard of Wushan Residence, after several years,

That's it

Zhou Nanbei saw Wu Laogou again, but as soon as he walked in and saw Wu Laogou, Zhou Nanbei was able to...

It is obvious.

I could feel the intense death aura emanating from it.

And the whole person,

She looks much older than she did a few years ago.

Old Dog Wu stood up:

"Young Master Zhou, it's been a long time."

Zhou Nanbei was brought back to reality by Wu Laogou's words.

He chuckled softly as he looked at Old Dog Wu:

"Yes, it's been a long time."

You've aged a lot, and you've become much more sensible.

Wu Laogou didn't get angry when he heard Zhou Nanbei's words.

Because he knows,

Zhou Nanbei was referring to the time when he didn't take Zhou Nanbei seriously because he was young.

So he changed the subject.

"Young Master Zhou, please have a seat."

Zhou Nanbei stepped forward and sat down, looking at Wu Laogou opposite him:

"Speak,"

"What do you want from me?"

Old Wu chuckled lightly: "It's nothing."

That's Zhou Xiaoye from back then.

The dog I was looking after is now well cared for. Please come and pick it up, Mr. Zhou. A feeding and care guide will be provided later.

Young Master Zhou

Just feed it according to the instructions above.

He then looked at one of his men and said, "Go and get Dog Number Seven from the East Garden."

Bring it over.

Wu's subordinate agreed and then turned to leave.

However, Zhou Nanbei,

He shook his head slightly: "Fifth Master Dog, what's the matter?"

Just say it directly.

I'll decide based on the situation. After all, you look like you're about to die. Logically, you should just have someone send the dog to me.

It shouldn't be so bad that I have to come all this way in person.

Old Wu shook his head bitterly: "Sigh, it seems I still can't hide it from Young Master Zhou."

As soon as this word comes out,

Black-backed Old Six chuckled: "You old dog, you've got a lot on your mind."

Back then, Master Zhou was still young.

I haven't seen you place any bets; now that Young Master Zhou has gained momentum...

"So you've come begging to my door."

Then he said sarcastically, "What?"

Do you want Young Master Zhou to protect your Wu family, or do you think Zhang Qishan...?

"Can't be relied on anymore?"

Hearing what Black-backed Old Six had said, Old Wu's expression remained unchanged.

After all, what they said was true.

Upon hearing the following words, Wu Laogou's expression changed, and he looked at Hei Bei Lao Liu with surprise:

Sixth Master,

How did you come to know Zhang Qishan?

Black-backed Old Six curled his lip: "Who was Brother Zhou back then?"

People you interact with,

From lowly laborers to the most powerful and influential, news about Zhang Qishan...

What could be so difficult?

Upon hearing this, Old Dog Wu sighed and remained silent for a long time.

However, Zhou Nanbei,

Looking at Wu Laogou, he said, "Fifth Master, Zhang Qishan is looking for you?"

Or did you, Wu Jiacheng, abandon your son?

Old Wu, regaining his senses, shook his head slightly at Zhou Nanbei:

"At least they weren't abandoned as pawns."

However, the Buddha is currently suffering from a qi deviation, and the Wu family dares not interfere in what he is about to do.

Zhou Nanbei was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

"Zhang Qishan is nowhere to be found these days."

How did I contact you?

Furthermore, Zhang Qishan did something that even you, the mighty Fifth Master, dared not get involved?

As soon as he finished speaking,

Black-backed Old Six and Sheng Shengman also looked at Wu Laogou.

Old Wu paused for a moment and said, "Zhang Qishan contacted me."

It happened two months ago.

Zhang Qishan visited the Wu family once, stayed for less than an hour, and then left.

He paused, then added, "As for where he went,

After that, I don't know anything.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nanbei briefly considered the matter in his mind.

He looked at Sheng Sheng Man and said, "Sister Man, if I remember correctly..."

Two months ago,

Was it around the time we came back from the desert?

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly: "Yes, it was when Grandpa Zhao came to the New Moon Hotel."

The days surrounding Zhang Qishan were around that time.

It seems that Zhang Qishan came to Hangzhou around that time after he left.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

Looking at Wu Laogou: "Tell me, what did Zhang Qishan say to you?"

What makes you so fearful?

Old Wu sighed, "I'll keep this matter brief."

Zhang Qishan invited me.

He re-established the Nine Gates after leaving the mountain, and he subtly hinted to me that he wielded or controlled an even greater power.

I was actually quite happy at the time.

So I asked, "What are the different factions?"

As he spoke, a look of worry appeared in his eyes: "But Zhang Qishan subtly indicated..."

They are powerful and influential figures in many places.

He said with difficulty, "It was precisely this sentence that kept me tossing and turning all night after Zhang Qishan left."

The so-called re-establishment of the nine gates

I've come to understand this over time; actually, calling it a complete overhaul isn't entirely accurate, because...

Zhang Qishan pushed us out.

This allows us to attract outside attention.

Zhou Nanbei listened to what Wu Laogou had to say.

Suddenly, a line formed in my mind.

Since Grandpa Zhao returned home and there had been no news for a long time, until now, with Old Dog Wu's words...

Zhou Nanbei

I finally understand.

Turning to Sheng Sheng Man, he said, "Sister Man, what were our guesses about the Ghost Cave back then?"

It seems it has come true.

Sheng Sheng slowly stood up: "Xiao Nanbei, are you referring to these powerful and influential people?"

All……"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Nanbei nodded firmly: "That must be it."

After Grandpa Zhao left, he never called again.

They must have discovered it.

That's why Grandpa Zhao hasn't contacted me for so long.

finished,

He suddenly looked at Wu Laogou: "You haven't finished speaking!"

Zhang Qishan said,

It's definitely more than that.

Old Wu gave a bitter smile and dipped his finger into the teacup.

Then on the table,

After writing two large characters, Wu Laogou seemed to have instantly exhausted all his strength.

He slumped back in his seat.
