"Brothers, please stay." On the empty street, two men in black stopped the two people who had just robbed the tomb.
It happened that dark clouds covered the moon at this moment, making it a dark and windy night.
The two members of the tomb-robbing team felt a little guilty and panicked. After all, looking at the posture of the two people opposite them, they didn't look like good people!
"You two just came out of the water, right?" asked the man in black.
Lao Que was no fool. He could tell from their clothes that they had probably gone into the water, but they were intact. He presumably hadn't run into that person, otherwise they wouldn't have caught up with them. So, the two men in black hadn't seen them.
"You have a keen eye. Just now, we were in the village behind and we had an argument with a scoundrel. Not only did she pour a bucket of water on us, she also beat my nephew.
If we hadn't seen that she was a woman, how could we have let it go? Well, I have to bear this sin, it's also destined by fate." The old lame man's words were completely watertight.
But the man in black didn't believe it. "Looking at the two of you, you must be skilled in martial arts! How could you be reduced to such a state?"
"Hey! Didn't I tell you? She's just a woman, and we're men after all, so we shouldn't resort to violence."
The two men in black exchanged a glance, and one of them came straight to the point, "Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Have you been to the underwater tomb just now?"
"What tomb? Are you two saying there is an ancient tomb nearby? I have never heard of that." The old lame man was determined to deny it even if he was beaten to death, and the little monkey also kept silent.
The man in black laughed at this. "You're still being stubborn. Do you really want me to take out the compass from your arms before you acknowledge it?"
"Why waste your time talking to them!" One of the men in black pulled out a gun and pointed the black muzzle directly at Lao Que's head. "Speak or not? If you don't, you will die today!"
Lao Que and the little monkey both swallowed their saliva. They had a natural fear of guns.
But even so, the old lame man didn't intend to say a word. If he didn't say anything, he might not die, but if he said it, he might die.
But the little monkey had never seen such a scene before. Although his fellow tomb robbers were always brave, tomb robbing was not like in the movies where there were no ghosts.
Now, facing death, the little monkey's calves began to tremble. Those who have never faced death will never know what it feels like to brush shoulders with death.
"I...I said...don't shoot!" the little monkey stuttered, intending to confess.
The old lame man gently nudged the little monkey. The man in black had obviously received professional training and saw the clue at a glance.
Bang~
The man in black slapped the old lame man in the face and said, "Old man, stop playing tricks on me. Young man, tell me the truth. Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, we won't hurt you."
The little monkey nodded quickly, "We...we did go into the water just now and found the cemetery."
"It really is you." The man in black said with a look of astonishment, "What about the things in the tomb?"
"We don't know. We didn't even enter the tomb. As soon as we reached the door, a young man came and kicked me like this. We hurried out. We really don't know what happened after that." The little monkey said hurriedly.
"Really?" the man in black asked suspiciously, obviously a little unconvinced.
The little monkey was afraid that the two would not believe him, so he quickly said, "Really, really, if you don't believe me, just search. We definitely don't have any treasure on us."
"What does the young man look like?" asked the man in black.
The little monkey thought for a while, "He's quite tall, about 1.8 meters, with a sturdy build, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome yet resolute. And he has a good cultivation level, too."
"It's the same as not describing it at all after all this time. I have paper and pen here. Who of you two can draw?" asked the man in black.
Bringing pen and paper when going out is a really... weird habit!
Lao Que quickly raised his hand, just like when the teacher forced him to raise his hand in class.
Soon, Lao Que finished drawing Qin Tian's appearance, and it was really 70% similar.
"Your painting skills are good. Okay, you can get out of here now." The man in black said disdainfully.
When they heard this, they were overjoyed and rolled away immediately.
The two men in black carefully examined the portrait and said, "This man seems familiar. Let's go back first and let the master take a look. This will be an explanation."
The other person nodded in agreement.
Old Lame and Little Monkey had escaped death, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Afraid that they would regret it, they found a secluded place to hide.
"It was so thrilling. You coward, you blurted out everything just with a gun. What do you want me to do? I really want to slap you." The old lame said with a look of disappointment.
The little monkey was naturally unhappy after being slapped. "That's a gun! You're not afraid, but I am. Besides, don't you think about it? Does it really matter whether we tell the truth or not? If those two are really murderous, won't we both end up the same?"
Although this statement made some sense, it still earned me a slap in the face.
"You know nothing. There must be something they want in that tomb, and it might be extremely important. Otherwise, why would they find us and interrogate you and me? You just...
"Oh, forget it! I'm lucky to be alive. I won't hit you this time." The old lame slowly lowered his raised hand.
Bang~
The little monkey had just relaxed his vigilance when the old lame man slapped the back of the little monkey's head again.
"Oh~ Didn't you say you wouldn't fight?" the little monkey said with great grievance.
"Why are you feeling wronged? I would feel wronged even if I didn't hit you!" The old lame man said angrily.
Rubbing his head, the little monkey looked at Lao Que and asked, "Lao Que, do you think we should go find that person of mine and inform him of the news? He's definitely not an ordinary person! Who knows, we might even get some opportunities."
After hearing what the little monkey said, the old lame man pondered for a moment, "That makes some sense, but this matter still depends on fate! If we are destined to meet, I will tell him, if not, forget it."
The little monkey nodded. They had no choice but to do so. After all, they didn’t even know Qin Tian’s name, let alone anything else.
…
At this moment, Qin Tian had returned home. In the room, Qin Tian took out the spiritual herbs. Now his cultivation level could reach the fifth level of Wen Dan. He was almost certain to win the battle with Ling Yuangang. However, if he wanted to refine the elixir, he had to wait until tomorrow to visit that strange old man.
After all, Qin Tian's cultivation is still limited now, otherwise he could use the imperial fire to refine pills out of thin air.
No matter what, tonight's harvest is huge. All the materials needed for the Fuling Pill have been found, and some of the medicinal materials for the Six-Turn Huiling Pill have also been found. It won't be long before he can break through to the peak of the Wendan realm.
Qin Tian didn't think about it anymore. He sat cross-legged and started practicing today.
