"Oh...it's all your father's fault and my lack of foresight." Dad sighed...

As time went by, the tomb robbing business also revived. Grandpa and his friends took the lead in establishing a foothold in Shu with the artifacts they brought out from the tomb of King Yelang and some surrounding ancient tombs. Following that, the northern and southern factions also

There have been many

As long as any industry flourishes, there will be more and more doors. Later, Grandpa and his friends were not limited to Sichuan and Chongqing, and from time to time they would join forces with some people in the south or north to do business.

Some big deals.

The more you travel, the more you know. By chance, my grandfather heard some incredible things from a Shandong native.

The Shandong man was almost 70 at the time and was also an expert. Seeing my grandfather traveling around many places, he asked my grandfather if he had ever heard of the "Sifang Mountains and Rivers Map". The two of them were drinking at the time.

My grandfather had never heard of it and didn’t take it seriously. He smiled and asked the old man what it was.

The old man sighed, but did not explain to my grandfather what the "Four Directions Mountains and Rivers Map" was. He just said that if these four pictures could be put together, everything in the world would be under control. My grandfather thought in his heart

It’s funny, I think this old man heard too much bragging when he was a kid.

But then, the old man very seriously begged my grandfather to help him find the "Sifang Mountains and Rivers Map", and even took out some extremely precious antiquities as a deposit. Only after seeing those rare treasures did my grandfather react, so

He continued to ask about the "Sifang Mountains and Rivers Map". But the old man just

He refused to explain clearly, and only told his grandfather that the four pictures were each hidden in an artifact. The old man himself didn’t know what the four pictures looked like. However, he knew the artifact that contained the pictures very well, so he

Tell my grandpa one by one about the shapes and possible places of those four things.

When he mentioned the last thing, my grandfather's mind buzzed, and he immediately understood that the old man was talking about "Blue Blood Dragon Pattern".

"Anyway, as long as you help me find these four things, money and everything, they are all the same as water. I will give you as much as you want. Even..." The old man lowered his voice and said to my grandfather,

"I can find someone to wipe your butts clean."

Grandpa knew before that this old man was unusual. After hearing this, he felt that the water behind this man was too deep and he could not reach it at all. Maybe this meeting was arranged early in the morning.

The business of tomb robbing has been hereditary in our family for who knows how many generations. Grandpa naturally understands that there are certain waters that cannot be touched. Although it has clues of "blue blood dragon pattern", looking at the old man's eyes, he is also half

He didn't even dare to say a word. Grandpa thought at the time that he would find this kind of thing anyway, so he casually agreed to the other party, and then let him wait. It is estimated that in a few years, the old man will be embarrassed.

.

Although it was ignored at the time, later on, my grandfather still often thought about the "Sifang Mountains and Rivers Map". When my father was about to take over, he even began to be tempted by the old man's words. This is not difficult to understand.

After all, the life of a tomb robber is not for human beings, and Grandpa did not want his descendants to continue in this profession. At that time, Grandpa was already old, and it was unrealistic to change anything on his own, so he put his thoughts into practice.

I told my father.

When my father knew about this incident, I happened to be born. He didn’t want me to follow the family’s old path, so he actively responded to my grandfather’s suggestion. However, it has been many years since the incident, and the old man may have matured long ago.

The bones are dead. Even if grandpa and dad want to find them, the hope is very slim.

Not long after, grandpa tried to contact those colleagues in the north, but was surprised to find that the old man was not dead yet, and after receiving the news, the other party planned to meet grandpa again.

My father said that my grandfather and the old man chatted all day long when they met for the second time. No one knew what they talked about, but after the conversation, my grandfather gave my father a fatal order, saying that he must find the old man’s address no matter what.

As long as our Yuan family can do the four things mentioned, we don't have to worry about anything in the future.

Although my father was willing, he was still worried that the old man would not live long enough to wait for that day. Grandpa reassured him, saying that the other party would naturally find a way. But before leaving, the old man also gave grandpa a warning:

"I am not the only one who wants a map of mountains and rivers in all directions. Among them, there are many people who are more powerful than me. If the matter is revealed, it will be very troublesome. By then... it will not only be you tomb robbers.

It’s something.”

The meaning behind these words almost gave Dad a chill in his heart, so in the following years, while he was busy with family affairs, he desperately searched for the other three artifacts.

Grandpa and Dad had already discussed it at that time. Before finding all four items, no one should know about the blue blood dragon pattern, especially the old man. In this industry, trust is absolutely non-existent.

It's just mutual interests. Therefore, Dad is cautious in everything he does, for fear that something will go wrong.

After listening to this, I immediately understood what kind of mood Dad would feel when those idiots came to him. For ordinary people, the pressure of career and life is enough to make us unable to bear it.

However, when the lives of a group of people, the future of future generations, and the fate of the family are all concentrated on the shoulders of one person, it is understandable that that person will make any crazy move.

I guess by this time, Fatty should be able to understand some of my dad's thoughts at that time.

"If I die, the matter can still be left to your second uncle, but if the blue blood dragon pattern is taken away by others, then our old Yuan family..." In the shadows, my father seemed to be looking at me.

Suddenly, I began to understand why people like Qin Feng were so loyal to my father. If the circumstances were different, I would really stand up and shout to my father: "Man!"

After being quiet for a while, Dad said again: "When we took down the three copper bricks, you should have seen those virgin incense, right?"

"Hmm." I nodded, "Do those things have anything to do with me and this ancient tomb?"

Dad sighed again, "Yes, I used your blood to make a 'blood lock' in this tomb."

"Blood lock?" The fat man was very surprised, "Sixth Master, isn't that the evil magic from the southwest? Why are you doing this?"

"Huh, what else can I do? I just don't want others to enter the main tomb?" Dad sighed.

I quickly asked what the "blood lock" was, and the fat man explained it to me.

The so-called blood lock should actually be called "blood bait", which originated from the area in western Hunan. In ancient times, Taoists often trekked continuously in order to lead corpses on their way, which was very difficult. Later, there was a middle-aged Taoist named "Liu Ji"

The Taoist priest invented a very strange magic. He found some baby's blood and used it to

When removing corpses, he would sprinkle the blood on the ground at certain intervals and do some special processing at the place where the blood was sprinkled. Then, after he finished removing the corpses for the first time, if he came back for the second time, he would not need to do it for the second time.

Walk in front of the zombies, and the zombies will follow the route he marked to the end.

This method is indeed trouble-free, but some people say that the magic behind this method is very scary. Those babies whose blood is taken will be inexplicably infected with corpse gas when they grow up, ranging from paralysis to paralysis, or even dying.

However, this spell of Taoist Liuji gave an inspiration to subsequent masters in various fields. By the time the tomb robbers started using "Blood Lead", great changes had actually taken place.

It is not easy to find a fat bucket at any time, and even if you find it, most of the things in it cannot be taken out at one time. At this time, the tomb robbers will follow the "blood bait" method to take it from themselves.

Get a certain amount of blood, then mark a path in the tomb passage, and finally use the "blood lead" to make a "blood lock". In this way, unless you encounter a magic master, others will definitely not be able to get it in the end.

Those things that are locked in blood.

The fat man told me that there are actually many ways to make blood locks, and the one my dad uses is virgin incense.

When I heard it... I seemed to understand half of it. After thinking about it for a long time, I still felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched.

The fat man continued: "No wonder, those stone-armored spiders only recognize your blood, so they have this skill. Haha, miss, I'm afraid this ancient tomb will give you a share of the property rights. If you want to develop this place in the future, you

You can still make a fortune by taking advantage of this opportunity.”

I wasn't in the mood to joke with the fat man, and what he said made me even more suspicious of Dad's explanations. However, Dad had already said a lot at this time, and I could tell by the sound of his breathing.

He was very tired, so he quickly let the old man rest.

Just when I moved forward, I saw the outline of Peanut's face appearing in front of me. He seemed to be looking at me, and he slowly shook his head at me twice.
