Chapter 60

Wu Xie drove Lin Yi to a place.

Looking at Wu Xie's car, and thinking about his own Range Rover, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. It was completely in a different league; this kid wasn't that well-off after all!

Just as they got out of the car, someone upstairs shouted, "Brat, I told you to hurry up, but you took your sweet time. What good is it to come now?"

Wu Xie's heart sank, and he called out, "No way, Uncle Three, you should have kept some good stuff for me too. You sold it too quickly."

The person upstairs also said helplessly, "You know it's good stuff, so why didn't you come faster? I was the first to notify you!"

Lin Yi looked up at the person upstairs and indeed saw Wu Xie's Uncle Three, Wu Sanxiong!

Actually, this Wu Sanxiong was an imposter.

Wu Sanxiong—the third son of Wu Laogou, the fifth family of the famous Old Nine Gates in Changsha, and Wu Xie's Uncle Three. The last true tomb raider of the Wu family.

His elder brother Wu Yiqiong was Wu Xie's biological father. His second brother Wu Erbai, the three brothers had a deep bond and raised Wu Xie together.

Wu Sanxiong started tomb raiding in his teens and had extremely rich experience.

Through his relationship with Wen Jin, Wu Sanxiong infiltrated Zhang Qiling and Wen Jin's Xisha archaeological team. Later, he was discovered by Jie Lianhuan for privately entering the underwater tomb at night and stealing items.

Jie Lianhuan tracked him to the underwater tomb and then reached an agreement with Wu Sanxiong.

The two used the identity of "Wu Sanxiong" together. Thus, Jie Lianhuan pretended to be Wu Sanxiong and rooted himself in the Wu family, accompanying Wu Xie's growth.

In other words, the "Uncle Three" upstairs was actually Jie Lianhuan, but he was also the "Uncle Three" who had watched Wu Xie grow up.

Lin Yi was looking up at the person upstairs when his gaze suddenly shifted to the main entrance.

A young man walked out of the main entrance, carrying a long camphor wood box wrapped tightly in cloth, with only one side of the lid exposed.

It was a sword case, used for storing precious swords or knives.

The appearance, the attire, the face.

Lin Yi recognized him at first glance—it was Xiao Ge, Zhang Qiling!

Zhang Qiling—suffering from soul loss syndrome, he would forget his previous memories every so often. For this reason, he constantly traveled through various ancient tombs to find his lost memories.

Following Lin Yi's gaze, Zhang Qiling also looked over, his eyes calm and deep, with a particularly ethereal quality.

The two passed each other.

Wu Xie also glanced at the sword case on Zhang Qiling's back. Just the case itself was worth a lot, and if there was a sword inside, it would be worth a fortune.

Lin Yi and Wu Xie went upstairs to see Uncle Three.

Wu Xie introduced the two and took out Lin Yi's "Wang Mian's True Work." Uncle Three observed it for a while and sighed, "What a treasure!"

He then looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Need money urgently?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Sell it as soon as possible!"

In this world, he only had some RMB in his space, and he wasn't sure if it was real or fake. He was indeed a bit short on cash.

But with his gold and jewels, he could always get a lot of money whenever he needed it.

"Alright." Uncle Three hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Wu Xie smiled and said, "Uncle Three has a wide network. I think it can be sold by tomorrow!"

He then took out a digital camera and explained the story of the Warring States silk book, saying that Lin Yi believed it was a map recording the location of the tomb of a noble from the State of Lu during the Warring States period.

"Oh? A tomb map?"

Uncle Three looked at Lin Yi in surprise, not expecting him to have knowledge of tomb maps. He took the digital camera and examined it. His expression changed when he saw the silk book.

Uncle Three put on a pair of reading glasses and examined it carefully, muttering, "This is the Eight Array Book Map, written in a special language to describe the detailed geographical location of a place. It looks like a bunch of meaningless text, but it actually contains a lot of information. It was a code used in ancient times for military operations."

He paused and then said, "This... is really a tomb!"

Uncle Three looked up at Lin Yi and smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you, young brother, to have such keen eyesight to figure it out."

He then looked at Wu Xie and said angrily, "I told you to learn more from me, but you never listen!"

Wu Xie looked miserable, and Lin Yi smiled and nodded without saying anything. The more he talked, the more he might slip up. If they asked about his background, he wasn't familiar with the tomb raiding business and wouldn't know how to bluff.

Fortunately, Uncle Three didn't press further and just said, "It's indeed the tomb of a noble from the State of Lu during the Warring States period. It's a good spot, worth a visit."

The tombs from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties might have treasures, but they were at most exquisite. However, the ancient tombs of the royal families from the Warring States period were so old that you could never guess what was inside. You might even find some ancient treasures.

This temptation couldn't be erased by money and was naturally irresistible to tomb raiders.

Lin Yi could see that this "Uncle Three" was interested, and Wu Xie seemed interested too.

The three of them stared at each other.

After a while, Uncle Three broke the silence and said to Wu Xie, "You're really honest, kid. Your father said you can't go down, so you really don't dare to. You're almost thirty, what are you afraid of? Afraid he'll beat you? So what if he does, it won't kill you. When I was your age, I went wherever I wanted and did whatever I wanted. Your grandfather couldn't control me."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes, thinking, "Who are you? Who in Hangzhou's Sanlitun doesn't know that your fart is fragrant, Uncle Wu?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Since we've encountered this map, it's a matter of fate. If you're going, remember to take me along."

This thing, if seen, is shared. He didn't believe Uncle Three could leave him behind; he was waiting to go live streaming!

Uncle Three nodded, lit a cigarette, and took a puff, saying, "Better early than late. Prepare and set out in the next few days."

He then looked at Wu Xie, who was hesitating, and smiled, "I know what you're thinking. You want to go down and see for yourself, right? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Wu Xie blushed and nodded.

Uncle Three chuckled.

Lin Yi was also pleased; he had hitched a ride!

The three agreed to go tomb raiding!
