In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

The cow in the painting can move? Are you kidding me?

Old Hu recalled a story, "I once heard of an antique dealer who used paintings to deceive people. The painting depicted a traveler carrying an umbrella, and when it rained, the umbrella in the painting would open wide, revealing that two paintings had been secretly swapped… You…"

Old Hu didn't finish his sentence, but instead looked at Uncle Ming.

Uncle Ming smiled and immediately shielded the light: "Brother Hu, Brother Jin, take another look!"

Everyone looked at the old ox in the painting again, and they were all shocked.

Sure enough, the old ox was already lying down next to the hut, and the place where it used to graze was now empty.

Chapter 106: Are you trying to steal my business?

It's really gone!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, even if someone else told them, Lao Hu and the others probably wouldn't have believed it.

This is fucking unbelievable!

Zhang Yingchuan, Lao Hu, and the others looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions. Who would have thought that the ox in the painting would actually disappear!

Seeing the unsuspecting looks on everyone's faces, Su Mo smiled and explained, "This painting was simply dyed with some secret medicine; it's not particularly magical. Five thousand years of ancient wisdom have been witnessed by all, and wonders of the world are not few and far between..."

"........."

Uncle Ming was stunned. He hadn't expected that Su Mo, who looked so young, would have such extraordinary knowledge.

No wonder he was able to recruit several tomb raiders under his command!

Uncle Ming nodded in agreement, "Master Su is right. This painting was indeed rendered with a secret medicine from the palace, hence its spectacular appearance. However, such a painting is extremely rare in the world, and its value is immeasurable!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yingchuan and Lao Hu both nodded.

This was the first time they had ever seen such exquisite calligraphy and painting. If calligraphy and painting enthusiasts saw it, they would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy it.

At this moment, everyone looked at Su Mo, waiting for him to make a decision.

Uncle Ming also stared intently at Su Mo, hoping that Su Mo would immediately nod in agreement.

Su Mo remained unmoved, lowered his head, and took another sip of tea.

Others might not know, but he did; this was just the price for the three tomb raiders in the original story.

But now it's one tomb raiding general leading four tomb raiding captains!

You'll have to pay more!

Seeing that Su Mo remained unmoved.

Uncle Ming was at his wit's end. His two most valuable collections were the ancient jade and calligraphy in front of him. Although his other treasures were also worth something, they paled in comparison to these two.

Uncle Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Master Su, take whatever you want from here, whatever you like. How about it? I'll give it to you."

Old Hu asked suspiciously, "Boss Lei, I see you have a thirteen-whiskered porcelain cat on display. You're practically in the same business as us. Since we're in the same business, don't you have any way to suppress a corpse?"

Uncle Ming sighed deeply and explained to everyone, "My ancestors were indeed corpse carriers in western Hunan, but you may not know this. This 'corpse carrier' doesn't mean carrying the dead on your back!"

"It's a method of tomb raiding: dig a pit, remove the side panel of the coffin, and climb inside backwards. They don't dare face down; they always climb in with their hands behind their backs!"

Old Hu suddenly realized and said, "So that's what it was—a corpse carrier!"

Uncle Ming continued, "These mysterious and bizarre rules have been passed down from who-knows-when, since I can remember. Our family made a fortune by carrying corpses..."

"Later, when it came to my father's generation, he was carrying corpses in Zouma Island when, unfortunately, he encountered the Xiangxi Corpse King. As a result, he lost his life, and I was unable to inherit my father's craft!"

"In the end, he simply went to Southeast Asia to do business and eventually settled in Hong Kong!"

Old Hu, Fatty, Shirley Yang, and others looked at Su Mo with suspicion.

This is bizarre; there are quite a few zombie kings in that area of ​​western Hunan!

All three of them knew this. Back then, Blind Chen had also encountered the Corpse King of Western Hunan.

Old Hu comforted him, "Please accept my condolences. This Xiangxi Corpse King is not to be trifled with. It is said that only one appears once every hundred years. Every time it appears, it stirs up trouble and wreaks havoc on the region. Ordinary human beings cannot stop it!"

Uncle Ming nodded and said, "That's right, the Xiangxi Corpse King is considered the king of zombies. It's impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. My father was just unlucky to encounter it!"

"hehe…"

The fat man sneered, his face full of disdain. "Tch. What's so special about the Xiangxi Corpse King? It's just that it's impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. We've encountered plenty of monsters like that..."

"In the end, he still died by our Brother Su's sword. It's just that the Xiangxi Corpse King didn't run into us. If he had, we could have killed him again!"

The fat man wasn't exactly bragging, so Lao Hu didn't stop him.

Moreover, we still need to show our skills to this Uncle Ming.

The Iron-Headed Dragon King, the Huo Clan's Undying Worm, and the Queen of Jingjue—each of them was arguably no less formidable than the Corpse King of Xiangxi.

They each have their own ruthless methods!

Uncle Ming glanced at Su Mo, who was sitting there drinking tea.

Such a refined and gentle appearance, yet he possesses such great skills.

Uncle Ming quickly flattered Su Mo, saying, "As expected of the Tomb Raiders and the Lieutenant General of the Grave Robbers. Others show fear when they mention the King of Xiangxi. Yet you gentlemen show disdain for him. Remarkable, truly remarkable!"

Su Mo smiled but didn't say anything.

Now his strength has reached 150 and his agility has reached 100. Zhang Rishan, who also has the bloodline of a ferocious beast, cannot last more than 10 moves against him.

The Xiangxi Corpse King is nothing special!

Then Big Gold Tooth asked, "If your business was doing so well, why did you start dealing in corpses?"

Uncle Ming naturally didn't mention that it was because of his son, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Of course it's because of making money. This stuff is much more profitable than doing business, you don't know. Those foreigners outside pay huge sums to buy these well-preserved ancient corpses."

"Moreover, anything bearing the name of a king or princess from some country is extremely valuable and highly profitable!"

"Those museums, galleries, and collectors are willing to pay high prices for them. You could say that finding just one of them is enough to support you for several lifetimes..."

Shirley Yang sighed helplessly; she was naturally aware of all these circumstances.

When they went to the Jingjue Ancient City before, didn't they run into people robbing ancient corpses from a stone tomb?

However, these foreign tomb raiders all met a tragic end at Cishankou in the ancient city of Jingjue.

Su Mo asked, "So you're also looking for an ancient corpse this time, right? Judging from the price you're asking, it's probably not some simple ancient corpse, is it?"

Su Mo was too lazy to continue rambling with Uncle Ming. He got straight to the point.

Seeing Su Mo speak, Uncle Ming didn't dare to hesitate and immediately said, "That's right. Not long ago, an overseas museum contacted me. They have an ancient scripture fragment that they obtained from Tibet!"

"It records the strange phenomenon of the death of a princess from a demon kingdom in Tibet. She died from a strange disease and was transformed into a glacial crystal corpse!"

"Therefore, it was considered a miracle, and they buried her on the snow mountain with a nine-story demon tower. The scriptures even mention some specific clues about the location of the tomb!"

The fat man said, "A glacial crystal corpse? A corpse turned into crystal... that must be incredibly valuable, right?"

The fat man looked like a curious child.

Su Mo looked at the fat man like this, and was afraid that Lei Xianming would say the word "valuable" the next second.

The fat guy who won't get up early for nothing might be able to develop a side business!

Old Hu and Shirley Yang glanced at the fat man.

Sure enough, the fat guy is still the same fat guy.

His eyes were shining and he was drooling!

Uncle Ming's lips twitched slightly when he saw the fat man's expression.

This guy... are you trying to steal my business?

Chapter 107: Move out, move everything out!

Seeing the fat man's smug expression, Uncle Ming suppressed the urge to attack and nodded, saying, "That's right, they're very valuable. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to hire a tomb raider and four grave robbers!"

"but…"

Uncle Ming changed the subject, "According to the intelligence I've gathered, this deal currently carries the greatest risk."

"This thousand-year-old glacial crystal corpse is extremely cold and possesses an overwhelming amount of yin energy. Without a stupa dedicated to Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) in Tibetan Buddhism, any ordinary person who approaches it will die..."

"To deal with something like this, ordinary corpse-suppressing objects are probably useless. So, if I don't have the ancient corpse-suppressing mirror, I'll have to ask a few of you to take action!"

The words "Tibet," "Demon Kingdom," and "Glacier" are all related to their next direction.

Su Mo was also frustrated, wondering whether the main characters were unlucky or lucky.

If we're talking about bad luck, then I've been cursed with red eyes.

If we're talking about luck, then Li Chunlai came along when we needed clues, and then we found Li Chunfeng's hidden treasure, the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, and finally we also obtained Chen Xiazi's map of the Tomb of the King of Xian.

Ok!

Now that the Muchen Pearl has been found, but its use is unknown, Uncle Ming uninvitedly presented the next course of action.

Over here, Old Hu asked in confusion, "Is this thousand-year-old glacial crystal corpse similar to the Xiangxi Corpse King?"

Uncle Ming shook his head. "Completely different!"

"The glacial crystal corpse on the snow-capped mountain is a revered evil god. Its body, crystallized inside and out, is unique in the world, making it the most valuable place..."

Old Hu felt relieved and looked at Su Mo: "Brother Su, what do you think...?"

Tibet was a matter of life and death for Lao Hu and his companions, so Su Mo was naturally willing to go. Whether it was the price Lei Xianpeng offered or their own need for Lei Xianming, a high-level "plot character," it was all beneficial to them.

Moreover, after the incident at the Sky Lantern and the Crescent Hotel, Su Mo's wallet was empty, and he would need money for many things in the future.

A tomb raiding and treasure hunt is now imminent!

Su Mo put down his teacup and said solemnly, "We can help you with your trip to Tibet..."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ming's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Su..."

"Hey…"

Su Mo interrupted, "Wait, let me finish. The ancient jade and calligraphy and paintings aren't enough; I need to select another batch of items from this room..."

Uncle Ming said, "You can choose. You can take everything in this house..."

Su Mo shook his head. "Take them all? Or forget it, I don't like collecting fakes..."
