I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 404: Tomb Raiders Notes

Views:

Now Jiang Beiran finally understood why Shen Tianhua was always secretive when speaking before, and refused to say in detail how the fragments of ancient books were robbed.

It turned out that he had always regarded the tomb robber business as a "hidden profession", so he covered it up.

However, things like tomb robbery have been occupations that can make you rich overnight throughout the ages, and it is normal to think about making a fortune silently.

After the astonishment, Jiang Beiran's mind also began to come alive. Of course he also loves this money-making business, and he also has a strong interest in the history of this continent.

"Looking for dragons and touching gold... Hehe." Jiang Beiran laughed, "I heard a friend talk about this profession before, but I didn't expect that Master Shen is also a master in this profession."

"I don't dare to be a master. If I were a master, I wouldn't be reduced to this level." Shen Tianhua said with some self-mockery.

"Where there are interests, there will be fights. Master Shen enters into this lucrative business, and he can still do his best to defend his feet. Naturally, he can be regarded as a master."

When Shen Tianhua heard this, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Because he knew what the master said was superficially praising him, but the real meaning was that, in such a risky business, you, a casual cultivator with no background, dare to compete with them, you are really overconfident.

But Shen Tianhua didn't know this.

Originally, he had a backer, but after all kinds of conflicts, he became what he is now.

At the beginning of the cooperation, it was agreed that he would rob the tomb, and Shengyangzong would be responsible for protecting him, and everyone would split the stolen treasures 50-50.

But as the treasures he stole got better and better, Shengyangzong began to become more and more unruly, always suppressing him when "dividing the spoils". In the end, Shen Tianhua left Shengyangzong out of helplessness and became a The lone wolf among the tomb robbers.

Now hearing Jiang Beiran's words, Shen Tianhua suddenly felt pain in his heart.

Who would be willing to be a lone wolf if he could rely on his elder brother

'Tsk, it seems that I was injured quite deeply. '

Jiang Beiran's original intention of saying this was to wake up Shen Tianhua, it's really bad that there is no one behind him who can do anything in this line of work.

Unless you are the only tomb robber left in the world, with such a big profit, once the two groups meet, it will inevitably be an endless situation.

But now it seems that Shen Tianhua is really scared by that Shengyang sect. He would rather take the risk to gamble his luck alone than find an organization as a backer, for fear of being tricked.

So since Shen Tianhua didn't take the initiative to speak, Jiang Beiran had to take the initiative.

"Piece... Tell me about this method of searching for dragons and touching gold in detail, and I will help you get back the fragments of ancient books."

When Shen Tianhua showed his cards, he naturally thought that Master Jiang would ask him for this method of finding dragons and touching gold, so when he heard the master proposed a deal, he immediately agreed: "Deal."

After finishing speaking, he took out a booklet from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran: "Master, this Guannan Russ records a series of secret methods for finding ancient tombs, but in our industry, there is a saying called three years to find the ancient tomb." Long, after ten years of acupressure, the matter of searching for the tomb will not be accomplished overnight, so please be more patient, master."

After receiving the "Guannan Rumors" handed over by Shen Tianhua, Jiang Beiran put it aside and said, "It's not easy to find the dragon and touch the gold. I'm afraid Master Shen can't take care of himself alone, right?"

After hearing this, Shen Tianhua burst out laughing, "Master is indeed an insider, Men Qing'er, I do have a few capable people in various fields under my command, who are responsible for finding tombs and opening acupuncture points, and there are also experts in the field to help me. Look at the shop."

Afterwards, as the two chatted more and more, Jiang Beiran felt that the only thing missing was "Eat me a Luoyang shovel", which was the tomb robber he was familiar with.

Of course, the fantasy world naturally has its cards. Those ancient tombs on the Xuanlong Continent are much more dangerous than the red rice dumpling and water monkeys.

Including but not limited to various ancient defensive formations, intelligent puppet fighters, and various prefecture-level mechanism techniques that are hard to defend against.

When Shen Tianhua said that Xuanzun-level powerhouses died in the ancient tomb, Jiang Beiran suddenly asked curiously: "This ancient tomb is so dangerous, how did you manage to get out of it?"

Shen Tianhua, who had already started talking, no longer kept secrets, and replied directly: "Generally, the tombs we find will not have such a big battle. When we find a place and break the battle, the organs inside can barely handle it. "

"Then what kind of tomb did you say just now that even Xuanzun-level powerhouses may die in it?"

"A total of two such tombs have been discovered in the world today. One is in Zeng State and is called Longling, and the other is in Wei State and is called Cangming. So far, these two ancient tombs have only been explored. On the periphery, few people dare to go to the inner city to explore."

'So fierce...'

Although few people know about the industry of tomb robbery, the big bosses of various sects definitely understand it, so few people dare to go to the inner city to check it out, which clearly includes those mysterious saints.

And even Xuansheng didn't dare to enter the inner city, which means that these two ancient tombs are exactly the same as that of Xuanji Island in terms of mystery and danger.

'It seems that the exploration level of Xuanlong Continent is really low...'

Since coming to the Six Kingdoms, after reading and seeing many things, Jiang Beiran felt more and more that there are still many places on the map of Xuanlong Continent that are "all black", the kind that have not been explored at all.

It is also a headache.

After all, there is nothing more frustrating than the unknown.

Picking up the wine bowl and taking a sip, Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and asked, "So what kind of ancient tomb did you steal the fragments of this ancient book from? Of course, you just need to tell me what kind of ancient tomb it is. tell me where."

Seeing that Master Jiang was so bright, Shen Tianhua also replied happily: "To be honest with Master, this tomb has just been excavated, and not many people know about it. At present, I have only explored the outer area, and I have not gone there yet. Go deeper."

"Periphery...meaning that the ancient tomb you found is not small?"

"Yes, although it is incomparable with tombs like Longling and Cangming, the tomb I discovered this time is not small, but because I haven't dared to go deep, I don't know how big it is."

Jiang Beiran knocked on the table with five fingers rhythmically after listening, "Have those who robbed you of the broken copy already notified their respective sects?"

"That's not going to happen." Shen Tianhua shook his head, "Actually, why don't they want to leave the sect and do it on their own? , They will not tell their masters the news."

"Didn't you say that they have already killed you? Didn't they ask someone from the sect to deal with you?"

"No... they just rely on the backing of the sect, so they are more daring to do it."

Nodding, Jiang Beiran asked again: "Then the sect behind them doesn't put eyeliner around them?"

"Some have it, some don't, but even if they are planted with eyeliner, they have their own way of dealing with it."

At this time, Lu Yangyu, who had been listening in, said, "Since you already know who they are, have you never thought of telling their sect what they concealed and letting them fight?"

Taking a sideways look at Lu Yangyu, Shen Tianhua said: "Whoever does this kind of thing breaks the rules of this industry, it's a big taboo!"

"People are going to kill you, and you still care about this kind of rules?"

"They don't necessarily have to get my life, but if I let others know that I broke the rules, then I won't be able to hang out in this circle in the future. It's worse than killing me. In addition, once they let them The sect behind me knows about this ancient tomb, so I will never have the chance to explore it again, unlike now, I still have some chances."

Jiang Beiran couldn't help shaking his head after hearing this, and wanted to say that the expensive circle is really messed up.

In the case of complete distrust of each other, all kinds of cooperation have to be completed, and it is not known whether the sect behind them is a backer or a shackle.

After talking until late at night, Jiang Beiran had a clearer understanding of the profession of tomb robber.

The so-called skill industry has specialization. To be a tomb robber does not need to have a high level of cultivation. The most important thing is to master various mysterious arts related to tomb robbery. As long as the technology is high enough, all the puppets in the ancient tomb can actually be demolished There is no need for violent destruction at all.

In addition, compared to exploring ancient tombs, the ability to find ancient tombs is the most important thing.

After all, these ancient tombs are not just hidden in the ground. Some of them are guarded by ancient formations that can completely hide everything, some are hidden in different spaces that can only be opened by Qian Kun, and some must be found out with Feng Shui. Only where the context is, can it be safely reappeared in the world, otherwise, as long as one wrong step is made, the ancient tomb will directly "explode".

"Let's stop talking about the dragon hunt first." Jiang Beiran picked up the "Guannan Russ" on the table after finishing speaking, "I'll go back and study it carefully, and you will stay in Luzhou temporarily for a few days. The owner of the museum, someone will come to help you solve the problem of the ancient book fragments later."

"Thank you, master." Shen Tianhua got up and cupped his hands.

"Let's go first." Jiang Beiran was about to turn around and leave after speaking, when he heard Lu Yangyu shout suddenly.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, go slowly!"

Looking back at Lu Yangyu, Jiang Beiran asked, "Maybe Master Lu is looking for me?"

"Of course, I was the one who called you here. Didn't you ask me to introduce you to that ghost cultivator a few days ago? I have lived up to my mission and made an appointment for you."

Seeing that Lu Yangyu was so efficient this time, Jiang Beiran immediately cupped his hands and said, "That's really thanks to Master Lu."

"Small things, small things, it's just that she has something to do today, so I made an appointment for you tomorrow, what do you think?"

Jiang Beiran originally wanted to stay for a few more days to take in the younger brother, so Dang even agreed, "Of course it's no problem."

"Okay, then you can come to me directly at noon the next day, and I will take you to meet her."

"Okay, then I will definitely visit on time, and I will take my leave first." Jiang Beiran turned and walked down the stairs after speaking.

After Jiang Beiran walked away, Shen Tianhua sat back on the chair, looked at Lu Yangyu who was about to pour himself a drink, and asked, "Do you think it is reliable for me to join Master Jiang?"

"You judge this yourself, or you will blame me later." Lu Yangyu shook his head directly.

"It's not that you spent a long time with that Master Jiang, so I came to ask you. Don't worry, I will definitely not blame you this time. Just give me some advice. You know how difficult it is for me now. "

Hearing that Shen Tianhua had reached this point, Lu Yangyu thought for a moment and replied: "Among all the people I have met, the one I can't see clearly is this Master Jiang, but the most reliable one is also this Master Jiang, I don't know exactly how to express this emotion, so you can figure it out yourself."

"Your evaluation is so high... what else can I say."

After Shen Tianhua finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, recalling the opportunities he had lost due to lack of background, he was really hesitant to find another backer.

"Don't sigh, you can't be alone for the rest of your life, especially in your line of work, the risk is so high, there is no guarantee behind you, do you really plan to rely on luck to make it to the end?"

"Oh, I'm thinking about it." Shen Tianhua walked down the stairs after finishing speaking, left the Taiyi Pavilion after saying "I'm going for a walk".

Jiang Beiran, who had learned about a new group, was in a very happy mood at the moment, because the joy of learning new things always made him want to stop.

It was getting late now, and when he returned to the hut, he found that the two girls were still playing Legend of the Dragon. He glanced at Shi Fenglan's hand card, Jiang Beiran chuckled and walked straight to his room.

"Xiao Beiran! Don't leave! Let's continue to play the simulation of cultivating immortals tonight."

Shi Fenglan, who was holding four cards in hand, turned to look at Jiang Beiran and asked questions.

"No, I'm going to bed early tonight." After finishing speaking, he went straight back to his room.

Hearing the sound of "bang", Shi Fenglan had no choice but to turn her head and continue to look at the sly Shi Jiamu.

"I just went to talk, this game is considered a draw." Shi Fenglan suggested.

"Of course not, there is no one who leaves halfway, draw the card quickly, draw the card quickly."

"Okay~" Shi Fenglan reluctantly agreed, and then first glanced at Jiang Beiran's closed door before continuing to play with Shi Jiamu.

The next morning, Jiang Beiran got up and settled the brunch between him and the two girls. During the meal, Shi Jiamu looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Uncle, do you have any plans recently?"

"Go back to Sheng Country."

Hearing this answer, Shi Fenglan and Shi Jiamu had completely different reactions.

The former breathed a sigh of relief. For the past two days, Shi Fenglan has been having trouble sleeping and eating because she accidentally told Shi Jiamu that they were going back. Now it's all right. Xiao Beiran said it herself, so it has nothing to do with her up.

Thinking of this, Shi Fenglan drank the porridge much faster.

The latter was a little surprised, some didn't expect the uncle to answer so readily.

Of course, there is no need to hide this matter from her.

"Well... how long has it been since you've been back?" Shi Jiamu asked curiously.

"uncertain."

"I... can I go back with you?"

"no."

"Why!"

"There are so many reasons, drink your porridge."

Shi Jiamu, who was rejected verbally, was a little frustrated, but he quickly adjusted and lowered his head to drink the porridge.

After eating a light breakfast and lunch, Jiang Beiran saw that the time was almost up, so he said to Shi Fenglan: "Take a good look at the house, I'll go out for a while."

"Okay! Leave it to me!" Shi Fenglan patted her chest and said seriously.

Those who came to the Taiyi Hall familiarly came to the Taiyi Pavilion, as usual, and before Jiang Beiran could speak, Lu Yangyu's voice came from upstairs.

"Beiran, wait a moment, I'll come down right away."
