"Aunt Agu? Ah, she didn't tell you that she went to the tomb with a group of tomb robbers."
Aunt Wusang was grinding medicine and wiping sweat in the pharmacy.
Ming Lanruo stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold.
Fortunately, she had practiced Qing Gong recently and was able to stop the castration halfway and barely stabilize her body.
Ming Lanruo looked at Aunt Wusang speechlessly: "How could she get involved in tomb robbing? Why did I never know that she would do such an immoral thing as robbing graves?"
They are over seventy years old. The old ladies of other families drink tea, play horse games, and entertain their grandchildren. The old sisters drink tea and gossip, and they are most afraid of talking nonsense and saying the word "death".
Her old lady carried the Luoyang shovel on her back to rob tombs and pick up other people's graves without any taboo!
Instead of just burying them in the grave if something goes wrong later, the old lady could just take over the coffins and graves of the ancients and use them for her own use.
Aunt Wusang's eyes were a little wandering: "Since the Xiao family disappeared, the old lady has been living in the Ming Dynasty Duke's Mansion these years. Apart from taking care of you, she has no other pleasure, so she found something to do."
Aunt Wusang cleared her throat again: "For example... just by walking around the streets looking for some legendary objects related to the great god Chi You, or pouring some herbs, I got to know some people from all religions, including tomb robbers."
After all, the Great God Chi You is the ancestor of their Miao people, and Aunt Agu has nothing else to do.
I can't go back to my hometown, so I wanted to find something related to my hometown to miss me.
The Yellow River Basin in the Central Plains is also the place where the great god Chi You fought, so there are more or less things left behind.
Aunt Agu accidentally discovered that the tomb robbers had these things in their hands and became their patron.
Ming Lanruo frowned: "A customer is a customer, why would you risk your life and rob a tomb yourself!"
Aunt Wusang sighed: "You don't know that Agu was able to use a fake Gu God Cauldron to deceive the Great Wizard Long Cry and successfully transport the Gu God Cauldron to the capital, all thanks to these traffickers who robbed tombs."
Ming Lanruo understood that in the tomb robbing business, people were best at counterfeiting antiques, so they were able to create a fake Gu Divine Cauldron that was confused with the real one.
Moreover, there are some professional tomb robbers who have been passed down from generation to generation and have formed their own sect, specializing in digging into the nooks and crannies of remote mountains and forests and border areas.
This group of people also has a knack for blending in among the locals without attracting attention.
Therefore, with their cooperation and help, Agu was able to successfully transport the Gu God Cauldron to the capital after running for a month before being caught.
Ming Lanruo rubbed the center of his eyebrows. No one in his family was a calm and simple person.
The old lady’s interests are so “special”.
Aunt Wusang carefully explained: "Aunt Agu only goes there once a year occasionally. She knows how to bewitch and read the terrain, so she can help see where the big tombs are buried."
"Those beggars and people in the tomb robbing business respect her and protect her. They respect her as the old lady of Guanshan and won't let anything happen to her."
Ming Lanruo still couldn't help but said: "How can we guarantee this? It's too dangerous!"
"Miss, she never lets us mention this matter because she is afraid of your worries and taboos. This time she went because she heard something about the Gu God Cauldron, and she came back soon." Wu Sang
Auntie said.
This is why Aunt Agu didn’t tell Ming Lanruo. The old lady knew that her granddaughter would definitely object!
Jing Ming admired her very much and yearned for her: "Oh, you are indeed Auntie Agu. When I grow old, I will be like Auntie Agu and still have a status in the world!"
Ming Lanruo felt that she didn't want to talk now. She rubbed her temples and just wanted to be quiet.
What should I do if the old grandmother is trying to dominate the streets and the world of tomb robbing despite her age and crutches?
Aunt Wusang looked at Ming Lanruo and her expression was really not good-looking, so she could only whisper: "Do you have anything to do with Aunt Agu?"
Ming Lanruo cheered up and looked at Aunt Wu Sang, and said down to business: "That's it, that boy Chu Yuanbai got some of my blood and hair, do you think they can do anything?"
Forget it, the old lady has some hobbies, it’s not a big deal.
It is the old lady's ability to make the beggar gang and the famous but mysterious tomb robber sect call her "Guanshan Old Lady".
Ming Lanruo just thought about it casually at this time to comfort herself from worrying about her grandmother's safety.
But I didn't expect that when they rebelled in the future, the old lady was really proud of herself, and the people in the Jianghu were really helpful, but that was a story for another day.
When Aunt Wusang heard this, she frowned: "We are all Gu Dao people, why are you so careless? These things cannot fall into the hands of outsiders casually."
Ming Lanruo smiled faintly: "Mother Wu Sang, I am in this situation. There are many people who want to kill me. It cannot be avoided by being careful."
Aunt Wusang thought for a while and sighed, yes, who put her girl in such a status and situation?
She asked: "How did you find out?"
Ming Lanruo briefly talked about the situation this morning, and then talked about the strange reaction of the Gu God in his body just now——
"I thought about it, it's probably Chu Yuanbai's fault."
Aunt Wusang motioned to Minglanruo to sit down and take her pulse.
After a while, she muttered: "There is nothing abnormal so far. Logically speaking, you are the host of the Gu God. You are invulnerable to all poisons and invulnerable to all insects. They should not be able to do anything to you."
But Aunt Wusang still got up and took out a simple black and silver pendant from a secret compartment and put it on Ming Lanruo: "But you still wear this amulet, maybe it can protect you."
Ming Lanruo was stunned, looking at the pattern and the Gu God Cauldron, Chu Yuanbai's Chi You tattoo was very similar: "Does this have anything to do with the Gu God Cauldron..."
Aunt Wusang said: "Aunt Agu found this in a tomb of a Western Zhou prince ten years ago. It was because of this thing that Saint Aguna became interested in going to the tomb."
Ming Lanruo thought these things were very mysterious, so she nodded: "Okay, then I'll wear them."
Although she didn't really believe in these amulets or anything like that, it was difficult to explain clearly in terms of metaphysics.
It is very strange that she and Yun Ni can be reborn.
Wearing it is better than not wearing it.
…
Time flies and more than half a month passes.
"Your Highness... you left the court and left the carriage here. You have been looking at Concubine Ming's Mansion for an hour. Why don't you go in?" Ling Bo wondered.
Shangguan Hongye didn't expect that he would still hesitate, but he looked at the lanterns in Concubine Ming's Mansion.
His mood is extremely complicated...
What could he say to her?
Advise her to leave Cang Qiao? Don't disregard ethics. Once this matter spreads, her death will be near!
She wouldn't listen. That stubborn and blind woman, who used to be so courageous for him, could now do anything for Cang Qiao.
Shangguan Hongye was struggling when he saw a slim figure wearing a light green horse-faced skirt leading the maids out.
If it’s not Ming Lanruo, which one is it?
Shangguan Hongye's throat tightened, and his eyes couldn't help but chase the light green figure.
Then not long after, a carriage stopped at the door of the mansion, and a young figure jumped out of it. He approached her very affectionately and called out: "Sister Lanruo, you told me you don't need to come out to pick me up."
The pretty beauty smiled faintly, but didn't say anything. She just said, "Let's go, the kitchen will make lemongrass grilled fish tonight."
Shangguan Hongye watched them enter the house together with his eyebrows furrowed.
Since when did Ming Lanruo and Chu Yuanbai have such a good relationship? Are they like siblings?
