Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nanbei paused, then looked at Zhao Qing'er.

And Zhao Gang,

Looking at the expressions on their faces and the anticipation in their eyes, I couldn't help but smile.

Then he looked away.

Turning to Zhao Xuan, she teased, "Grandpa Zhao, can't we choose both?"

Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Nanbei:

"You little rascal, you're quite greedy."

After a lighthearted remark, Zhao Xuan's expression turned serious: "Choosing both is impossible."

There are only two descendants of my Zhao family in the third generation.

In conclusion,

Let's leave one for the old man to inherit his mantle?

Zhou Nanbei smiled and said, "Alright, but Grandpa Zhao..."

No matter who you choose,

Following me for now won't do any good.

As you know, I'm doing this now. Look at Sister Qing'er and Brother Gang, they're both so tall.

"You can't keep up with me."

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly: "That's alright, it's good to have them do some logistical work."

It's not like we absolutely have to go down.

Zhou Nanbei nodded helplessly: "It seems you're determined to send one over."

No way.

"Let's choose Sister Qing'er. Brother Gang can be left to Grandpa Zhao to inherit the family business."

Zhao Xuan chuckled lightly:

"You're being hypocritical, getting a good deal for nothing. So many people want this but don't even have the chance."

He then looked at Zhao Qing'er.

"Qing'er, did you hear that?"

From today onwards, you will be living with Old Zhou's younger brother, and you will be eating from the same pot from now on.

We can't be willful.

Otherwise, how this little guy will deal with you is none of Grandpa's business.

Hearing this,

Zhou Nanbei and Zhao Qing'er reacted differently; Zhou Nanbei, in particular, felt a sense of helplessness.

This is only our first meeting.

She became the younger brother, and the subordinate she was supposed to be became the older sister.

But thinking about it is one thing.

Zhou Nanbei could only grit his teeth and accept it, after all, Zhao Xuan had treated him well, and was a close friend recorded in his grandfather's notes.

I'll need his help in the future.

Sister it is then.

As for Zhao Qing'er, she nodded excitedly, then looked at Zhao Xuan and said reproachfully, "Grandpa, am I really that unreliable?"

He stood up as he spoke.

He bowed slightly to Zhou Nanbei: "Little brother,"

"From now on, your older sister will be following you."

Looking at Zhao Qing'er in front of him, Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "Sister Qing'er, please get up, there's no need for that."

The Zhou and Zhao families,

The two generations have been friends, and now it's the third generation, so it can be considered a family friendship.

Zhao Qing'er chuckled.

"Hehe, then I won't be polite, sister."

He stood up as he spoke.

Zhou Nanbei waved his hand helplessly, then remembered what Zhao Xuan had said earlier.

So first he flipped his hand,

A booklet appeared in Zhou Nanbei's hand, and he pushed it in front of Zhao Xuan.

"Grandpa Zhao, this is a copy of Toad Kung Fu."

What you said before,

What is it that you want to tell me?

Zhao Xuan didn't look at the booklet in front of him, but instead looked at Zhou Nanbei and said, "Grandpa Zhao's visit this time..."

There are only two objectives.

First, they're here to clean up your mess. After all, you're going to live on this land, and you want to establish yourself and build your influence here.

The matter of tomb raiding,

We still need to handle this prudently.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "That is indeed a problem."

Grandpa Zhao,

What are your plans to do?

Zhao Xuan waved his hand: "It's too serious, there's no point in talking about dealing with it."

I've come up with a solution to this.

I will be affiliated with an archaeological team under the Dark Guard, and you will all be affiliated with the Dark Guard.

All procedures are complete.

With archaeological certificates in hand, you'll be considered a regular team. As long as you complete each tomb raiding mission...

The ancient martial arts tradition,

Submitting one copy is sufficient.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "That's acceptable."

But isn't anyone going to do anything about it?

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly: "Little fellow, you probably don't know Old Man Zhou yet."

How petty you were when you were young

Who dares to interfere? Although Old Zhou is gone, he left behind a lot of connections, plus you have all the cards up your sleeve.

Who can control that?

finished,

After organizing his thoughts, he continued, "And also,"

This isn't actually a new thing; there are quite a few organizations affiliated with the Dark Guard that resemble archaeological teams.

That's what I'm going to talk about next.

Zhou Nanbei pondered for a moment,

Only then did he speak: "Grandpa Zhao, please speak."

Zhao Xuan paused for a moment,

Then he spoke: "This matter is quite complicated."

Simply put,

There are actually quite a few unusual or supernatural events happening all over China these days, especially among teams like archaeological expeditions.

Basically during the excavation of ancient tombs,

They would always be accompanied by members of the secret guards, in order to prevent the corpses from rising or any other unusual phenomena.

The most famous is,

In the 1960s, the organizational structure was incomplete.

During the excavation of a Han Dynasty tomb

The entire archaeological team was wiped out after a zombie apocalypse, and that wasn't all; the zombies even escaped!

A nearby village,

They suffered a direct loss; if it weren't for the villagers who managed to escape and report the news, who knows how many more people would have died.

This is just one example.

Furthermore, unusual things are happening all over the world, both domestically and internationally.

The most famous in China

One is the bronze gate of Changbai Mountain, and the other is the one on the border.

Yumen Pass

Emperor Wu of Han dispatched sorcerers to seal various mythical beasts within a small space, and later sent the Imperial Guards and magicians to guard it.

Ordinary people can't get in.

Only specific individuals can emerge from inside; otherwise, they can only rely on a strange technique left behind by a sorcerer.

Only then can we obtain supplies from the outside world.

It can be said that the inside is hundreds of years behind the outside, and both of these are fixed abnormal locations, with troops and secret guards dispatched by China.

They are stationed there year-round.

This is only in a fixed location, and there are quite a few unusual events.

In the 1980s,

Not long after the reform and opening up, a group of people from the Ten Thousand Mountains were selling a strange beast called the "Earth Owl," claiming it could grant immortality.

According to our later investigation,

That's all nonsense. The reason those people say that is because they're influenced by those strange beasts that can control people.

They were brought under control, and after the group was arrested, we were able to ascertain their background.

Their ancestors can be traced back to the time of the First Emperor.

According to them

Back then, the First Emperor not only sent Xu Fu eastward, but also dispatched an army known as the "Head-Wrapping Army."

Heading into the Ten Thousand Mountains

Searching for a strange beast called the "Earth Owl"...

When they capture it,

They went out to gather information and discovered that the Qin state had been destroyed, so they discussed it and decided to set up camp there.

A village was formed.

In the early 1980s, everyone was so poor they were practically urinating blood, so these descendants of the turbaned soldiers...

They set their sights on the Earth Owl...

.........

Other than that,

There is another method that can control abnormal events in people.

They are called "water demons".

Unlike land-based tomb raiders, they were underwater tomb raiders; their ancestors had acquired a kind of...

Something called water crystal,

After being fused, they could breathe freely underwater. Later, they discovered that simply fusing...

The body will undergo abnormal changes.

So they made three clan amulets, which, when worn, would also have the effect of allowing one to breathe underwater.

This led to what we know today.

The Three-Surname Water Demons specialized in building underwater vaults and even tombs for ancient people.

Storing other people's valuables

In the early 1990s, the Yi-surname water demon was fighting in Kaijintang, which is similar to the slang term used by tomb raiders on land.

But this time they turned the tables.

The Yi family suffered heavy casualties, with only one direct descendant surviving.

When we intervened in the investigation, we discovered that these people who were supposed to be dead were indeed still alive.

But they are no longer who they were.

They were being controlled, and based on our investigation, we suspect that the control over them was caused by something called "water spirit."

But we can't stay underwater for long periods of time.

So this unusual event

That meant it had to end abruptly. Of course, the situation in China is not like that.

There are many more unusual events.

That's roughly the situation domestically.
