Lu Lao Er was too lazy to look for his eldest brother, and at the same time guessed that his eldest brother was probably no longer alive, otherwise he would have returned to the family long ago.
Once they get their hands on the large tomb here, they can inherit the position of family head, so they don't want to waste time looking for Boss Lu.
After returning, I gathered a few brothers and made thorough preparations.
Lu Lao Er was meticulous. Because there were always people on the mountain behind Qijia Village, it would be very difficult to succeed without making a sound.
At the same time, Lu Lao Er was also a bold man, using this feint attack strategy.
Everyone was against it at first, but now it seems they were right to do it.
The tunnel dug from this mountain cave is estimated to be completed by tomorrow afternoon, and the day after tomorrow they can take their belongings and leave.
Hua Shan frowned, thinking to himself, "These tomb raiders are indeed very clever, but is the large tomb they want to enter and what they are looking for in the same place?"
“Once this job is done, Second Brother will be the head of the family, and from now on we will all be his direct subordinates,” Ma Si said. “Second Brother, I will only ever acknowledge you. It is only after following you that we brothers have the good life we have today.”
“Yes!” another person echoed, also hoping that Lu Lao Er would become the head of the family so that they could get more benefits.
Lu Lao Er was brimming with confidence and said, "We've all been through thick and thin together. I remember all the good things you've done for me. Once this job is done, everyone will definitely get their share."
The five people spoke very enthusiastically, but their work did not slow down.
When he was descending Mount Hua, he concealed his whereabouts, but when he reached the halfway point, he was stopped by someone.
Actually, it wasn't really a blockade, but rather someone standing on a small hillside, right on the only path that Huashan could take.
"Who are you?" Hua Shan asked, assuming a fighting stance.
"Hehe, Nephew Hua, coming to the back mountain in the middle of the night, you wouldn't happen to be here to enjoy the scenery, would you?" The young man turned around, clearly recognizing Mount Hua.
This man, named Cui Heng, is Cui Ying's uncle and also her master's junior brother.
Hua Shan was taken aback when he heard the voice. He recognized the voice and said, "Junior Uncle, what brings you here?"
"My senior brother was worried about you, so he sent me along," Cui Heng said. "I'm an archaeological expert at the Huai City Museum now. What have you found?"
When Hua Shan saw that his junior uncle asked, he knew that they were on his side, so he didn't hide anything and said, "There is a group of tomb raiders on the mountain. They are the same tomb raiders who robbed this large tomb a few years ago."
"What are their backgrounds?" Cui Heng asked. "Are they the Ma family from Guangdong Province, the Hu family from the North Province, or the Lu family from the South Province?"
Hua Shan thought for a moment and said, "It should be the Lu family in the Southern Province. I heard someone call one of them 'Second Brother Lu'!"
"Oh!" Cui Heng nodded. "Keep these people around and let them clear the passage into the tomb. We'll use this to our advantage and have them do things for us. By the way, do you know when they can go down into the tomb?"
"It'll probably be tomorrow night," Hua Shan said. "Uncle-Master, how's the archaeology going over there?"
Cui Heng sneered and said, "Those people only know how to fight for fame and fortune. Apart from Director Yang, how many of them have real talent? It will probably be a few days before they find out that those tomb raiding holes are fake. Let's use this time to go down into the tomb and find something useful to us."
"Yes, Uncle-Master," Hua Shan said. "Shall we follow these tomb raiders down into the tomb?"
“Okay.” Cui Heng said, “We two can go down there and handle this. Let Ying’er keep watch for us up here.”
"I've got it, Uncle-Master," Hua Shan said. With Uncle-Master here this time, they're sure to complete their mission successfully.
"It's getting late, you should hurry down the mountain," Cui Heng said, urging Hua Shan to leave.
After leaving Mount Hua, Cui Heng went up the mountain to survey the terrain and returned to the archaeological team's camp just before dawn.
After Cui Heng left Mount Hua, Huo Yingjie arrived gracefully.
interesting!
He also wanted to see what was inside the tomb that made so many people flock there.
Cui Heng's figure moved like a ghost, unnoticed by anyone. Even those in the same tent as him remained oblivious, fast asleep.
After daybreak, the archaeological team continued their orderly exploration.
Director Yang was anxious and kept urging his staff to speed up and be more careful.
Unbeknownst to He Tiantian, who was busy being Qi Xiaoyan's bridesmaid, there were undercurrents swirling in the mountains.
He Tiantian was busy with everything, even busier than the bride!
At night, Lu Lao Er finally managed to break through the tunnel.
"Brother Lu, we finally succeeded!" one of the men exclaimed excitedly. "Shall we go down now?"
Lu Lao Er was also very happy; the time was about what he expected, and everything went relatively smoothly.
"Don't go down yet. Let's air it out first. We'll eat first and then go in later tonight," said Lu Lao Er. Such large tombs are sealed for a long time and contain a lot of filth.
As Lu Lao Er worked, he lit a candle beside the tomb entrance.
Even without wind, the flame of this candle was small and flickering, as if it could be blown out at any moment.
The group went to eat, leaving one person behind to watch the candles.
After eating, these people rested and recharged their energy.
As night deepened, the candlelight grew stronger and stronger. Seeing the flames growing larger, Lu Lao Er said, "Brothers, let's get to work."
Everyone was ready and went down into the tomb one by one, leaving one person upstairs to keep watch.
Not long after Lu Lao Er went down, Cui Heng, Hua Shan, and Cui Ying arrived and easily knocked out the lookout tomb raider.
"Ying'er, you stay up here and keep watch. Huashan and I will go down. If anything happens, you can use the teleportation talisman to tell us," Cui Heng said, not wanting his niece to go down with him.
"Uncle, let me go. I want to see what we desperately need is inside," Cui Ying pleaded. Those tomb raiders were nothing to worry about; she wasn't afraid at all!
Cui Heng frowned and said, "The yin energy down there is too strong, so you shouldn't go down. This mission is very important, and we must finish it quickly."
"Junior sister, you keep watch outside for us," Hua Shan said. "Once we get the goods, we'll leave immediately."
"Time is running out, hurry up and get down here." Cui Heng said with a stern face. If this niece didn't obey, he would knock her unconscious right now.
Seeing her uncle's unpleasant expression, Cui Ying had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright, I'll wait for you upstairs."
"That's more like it," Cui Heng said. "Don't worry, I'll bring you something good."
"Thank you, Uncle." Cui Ying was a little happier after hearing this.
Cui Heng went down the tunnel through Huashan, and Cui Ying took over, idly guarding the place.
Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, Huo Yingjie arrived, followed by the Snake King in human form.
