Chapter 339 The Patriarch is Such a Good Person
Hei Xia Zi and Wu Xie chose to dig graves honestly, while Zhang Mo Yu, who had originally agreed to follow them, changed his mind halfway.
The reason was that Zhang Moyu felt that with Hei Xia Zi and Zhang Hai Lou, two skilled fighters, and Wu Xie and Wang Pang Zi able to protect themselves and being clever, nothing serious would happen on their side.
Instead of following them all the way boringly and waiting for the right time to get out and get rid of other people, it would be better for them to take another route, explore the situation more, and see if they can try their luck and pick up something good.
Zhang Qiling never refuted Zhang Moyu's words. He thought his proposal was good and there was nothing wrong with it.
As the protected person, Nan Xihe had no decision-making power at all and could only cling to the two big bosses.
Zhang Moyu calculated in a few steps that he had reached a secret exit of the tomb. It was hidden behind bushes, about half a person's height, and had a very hidden stone door with a mechanism.
After opening the stone door, Zhang Moyu shone the flashlight inside and found that it was a passage sloping downwards with a layer of simple stone slabs on the stairs under his feet.
He squatted down, swiped his index finger across the ground, felt the touch of his fingertips, and glanced at the dust on his hands. Without saying anything, he led the way down, followed by Nan Xihe, and Zhang Qiling, who consciously stayed behind.
At the end of the stairs are identical tomb passages on both sides. On the walls of the tomb passages, there are brackets for placing torches at regular intervals. However, now there are white skulls hanging on the brackets, some of which are human and some of which are animals.
"Master, which way are we going?"
Nan Xihe pulled Zhang Moyu's sleeve, whispered something to him, and shrank behind him.
To be honest, ever since he followed her to the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West last time and met the Queen Mother of the West who was so hospitable that she got up to greet them even though she was dead, Nan Xihe has been extremely sensitive to things related to corpses.
If it weren't for the fact that his own bloodline was involved this time, Zhang Moyu and other knowledgeable bigwigs would have said that there might be ways to increase the concentration of blood in the blood-related tombs.
In addition, the person behind him ran over from afar and gave them two precious gold ornaments as bait to lure them into the trap, so Nan Xihe was unwilling to come.
In fact, the Zhang family has medicine that can increase blood concentration, and it is universal and effective for various special bloodlines, but the effect is not as good as for the Qilin bloodline.
Things like this that can continue bloodlines to the greatest extent were basically possessed by all the noble families with special bloodlines. After all, the basic theory is there, but some herbs need to be screened and fine-tuned for different bloodlines.
After Nan Xihe learned about this medicine, he tried taking it.
He drank it with the determination to risk everything, but even if he was sealed with silver needles and knocked unconscious, he still couldn't get it down, so Nan Xihe gave up.
He later heard that Zhang Qiling and Zhang Haiqing had both taken this prescription for a period of time, and he was amazed at how beautiful they were.
For a moment, he felt even more in awe of Zhang Qiling, the clan leader. At the same time, he was also certain that Zhang Haiqing, whom he had never met before, was definitely a ruthless person. He heard that he was in charge of personnel matters, and he must not let anyone be put in his hands in the future.
He didn't want to take medicine, but wanted to improve his blood. He wanted to gain a buff that made him immune to all poisons while strengthening his physique. He could only seek wealth and honor by taking risks.
Moreover, the clue that the group gave was two heavy gold ornaments, plus some gossip about the Maurya Empire, it is really hard to say how valuable this tomb is.
Nan Xihe was still secretly speculating in her heart, if there was a golden house in the tomb, or a treasure mountain of gold, silver and jewelry, after Zhang Moyu and the others got the things back, would they give him some dividends because he was a descendant of the dynasty.
But now is not the time to think about those things. Whenever Nan Xihe thinks of the corpses in the ancient tomb, he always feels that those dead bodies may not be completely dead, or that it is Schrödinger's death.
The kind that might open the coffin and jump out at any moment...
Before you open each coffin, you have no idea what kind of scientific element compounds are inside, a dried corpse waiting to be cremated.
Or maybe it's zombie friends from another unknown world, waiting to welcome you with open arms.
He saw a white skull hanging on the opposite wall, facing them. Under the light and shadow effects, the eye sockets appeared hollow, dark and deep, which made his scalp tingle.
And the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the skull was smiling at him, and the more he looked at it, the scarier it became.
At this moment, Nan Xihe, who was lost in thought, suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. He shuddered with fright, and clenched his hand that was holding Zhang Moyu's, and almost cried out.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Zhang Qiling walked out from behind him, slowly withdrew his hand, and gave him a calm look.
Nan Xihe was so frightened by his sudden slap that her expression was out of control.
With a wooden face and moving his shoulders unnaturally, Nan Xihe cast a suspicious look at Zhang Qiling.
For some reason, he felt vaguely that Zhang Qiling was playing a prank and deliberately trying to scare him.
However, after seeing Zhang Qiling's attention to him and responding with gentle concern, with a calm look mixed with a hint of doubt, Nan Xihe, who did not notice anything unusual, suppressed his inexplicable intuition.
The clan leader is so gentle, approachable, bright and clear, pure as ice and jade... Well, the word "pure as ice and jade" seems a bit strange, but it feels inexplicably appropriate.
Anyway, the conclusion is: How could the patriarch, such a good person, deliberately play a prank to scare him!
The patriarch just showed concern for him and even went out of his way to comfort him, but he actually doubted the patriarch's intentions. That was really wrong!
Nan Xihe reflected deeply on himself, and then returned to his previous state of being a little fan with bright eyes.
Zhang Qiling met his eyes that seemed to glow even in the dark, and thought about how he had just disturbed people's ears and worn out their spirits in order to teach this kid a lesson.
So when she noticed that he was a little shy, she deliberately restrained her breath, moved up behind him and put her hand on his shoulder unexpectedly, which scared him. Suddenly, she felt a little guilty and her eyes drifted away unconsciously.
Zhang Moyu, who had watched the whole process and knew everything, tacitly approved of Zhang Qiling's little prank. The corners of his mouth curled up in a subtle arc, and he raised his hand to touch Nan Xihe's head comfortingly, his eyes soft and with some pity.
This poor silly kid, he clearly realized the truth, but he was still using PUA in his imagination. How could he be so sharp and stupid at the same time?
