The ship with the flag of the Gongsun family slowly sailed over. In the viewing cabin on the second floor, a group of Jianghu warriors sat around the table, drinking and chatting merrily.
Gongsun Xiu held a glass of wine and entertained the six newly recruited people with special abilities with a smile. The six of them were not weak. Two of them had even reached the peak of the Spirit Refinement State, which was enough for the Gongsun family to treat them as distinguished guests.
The one that caught Gongsun Xiu's attention the most was the old Taoist who called himself Taoist Qing Gu.
Warrior was good at fighting and killing, but exploring tombs was not his strong suit.
Those who knew geomancy were either Taoist priests or magicians. The former were mostly liars, while the latter were rare in Jianghu.
As for Taoist Qing Gu, Gongsun Xiu had tested the waters and knew a thing or two about arrays.
"Tonight's exploration of the Great Tomb of Nanshan will depend on you."
Gongsun Xiu raised her glass with a smile.
Warrior hurriedly raised his glass, knowing that Miss Gongsun was just being polite. The Gongsun family was one of the top local tyrants in Yongzhou, with a history of more than three hundred years. The current family head was Warrior of Transforming Strength many years ago.
He was only one step away from Rank Four. Once he reached that level, he would be an overlord in Jianghu.
In addition, there were more than ten Level Seven Spirit Refinement State and Level Six Bronze Skin and Iron Bones in the Gongsun family.
However, the leader of this generation of the Gongsun family was the young lady in front of them. She was beautiful, wearing a white dress with wide sleeves and a loose pleated skirt.
She was beautiful and gentle, like a well-educated young lady from a respectable family.
However, those who were familiar with her knew that she had just reached Transforming Strength last year. In the Gongsun family, only the family head could surpass her.
In addition, she was also successful in the business field. Under her management, the Gongsun Family's business was thriving. As a power in the martial world, the Gongsun Family respected martial arts. Even a woman could sit on the position of the family head.
There were countless young heroes in Yongzhou who were willing to marry into the Gongsun family.
After drinking, they continued to enjoy the delicious food and fat crabs. Gongsun Xiu had no appetite. She looked sideways at the scenery on the lake and the boats around.
She looked at the Wang Ji Fish Workshop, which was getting closer and closer. She saw several children running out of the cabin to play.
…
"We'll eat ours."
After saying that, Xu Qi'an shifted his gaze away and continued to chew on the crab legs.
Tonight, he planned to go to the underground palace and borrow the dried corpse's nails, venom, and corpse aura to plunder the thousand-year-old corpse.
However, the actions of the Gongsun Clan gave him a headache. If they continued to make such a big fuss, the bigger the commotion, the more people would die.
In front of the remains of the mysterious Daoist, what was the difference between a third-grade and a stray chicken and a stray dog?
Once that ancient corpse absorbed more and more essence blood, it would accumulate enough power to break the seal, and it would inevitably bring disaster to one side.
"When a country is about to perish, a demon will emerge. Everything is proving this saying …" Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.
A bell-like laughter came from outside the window. Turning his head to look, he saw a few children who had eaten their fill of crabs playing outside, chasing each other along the corridor outside the cabin.
The clothes they were wearing were quite good, and the material was of high quality. Presumably, they came from well-to-do families, but there was still a big difference between them and the rich and powerful.
In the middle of the chase, in order to cut the way, a strong-looking child forcefully bumped into the girl in front of him.
The girl lost her balance and screamed as she fell towards the lake.
Xu Qi'an put down the crab legs in his hand. A faint light appeared in his eyes, and his body suddenly disappeared. In the next moment, he drilled out of the girl's shadow and grabbed her collar.
The shadow of the Dark Insect jumped.
"Wow …"
The children around him looked at him with admiration.
Xu Qi'an flipped his hand, cutting off one scalp each, and scolded: "Go back to the cabin, if you dare to come out again, I will beat you to death."
His tone had a strong Jianghu style.
"Wang Ji Fish Workshop" was also a fishing boat. In order to conveniently pull the fishing net, there was no guardrail on the deck, so it was not very safe.
After being beaten, the children didn't dare to talk back and left with their tails between their legs.
He followed them back to the cabin. Not long after he sat down, a couple came over. The woman was holding a child in her hand, it was the girl who almost fell into the lake just now.
"Thank you for saving us, brother."
The young man cupped his hands to express his gratitude. He was wearing a trendy gown and looked very decent.
The young woman even wore a golden hairpin on her head.
Xu Qi'an waved his hand and impatiently said: "Don't talk nonsense, this table of crab is on you."
The young man was surprised, but was relieved and smiled: "Of course, of course."
After saying a few more words of thanks, he went back with a smile.
The girl was pulled away by her mother, but suddenly turned around and made a face at the grumpy uncle.
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Nanzi felt that his mood was a bit strange.
Xu Qi'an grumpily said: "Fuck, it's going to rain."
His mood suddenly became very bad.
Mu Nanzi blinked her beautiful eyes and looked outside the window. The sun was shining brightly, there was no sign of rain at all.
…
On the other side, Gongsun Xiu, who had witnessed the whole process, said:
"Guys, did anyone see how he made his move?"
The boorish Warrior frowned and looked at each other. They did not see what happened just now.
When Gongsun Xiu finished, everyone revealed a look of surprise, even though they were all experienced and knowledgeable, they still couldn't explain it.
However, the old Taoist with a goatee said:
"According to Miss' description, that should be the method of the Dark Voodoo Tribe. When I traveled to Southern Border in his early years, he saw their methods. They are good at jumping out of the shadows, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Only the Spirit Ascension Warrior can restrain them. "
Gongsun Xiu frowned: "Can the methods of the Voodoo Tribe be taught to outsiders?"
"Of course not."
"That person is not from Southern Border." Gongsun Xiu said.
The old Taoist Qing Gu was startled and shook his head: "Maybe I guessed wrong?"
Gongsun Xiu did not hesitate and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "I met an expert by chance, I will go and greet him.
She grabbed two chopsticks and threw them out.
The two chopsticks pierced into the lake and slowly floated up. Gongsun Xiu jumped out of the second floor of the cabin. She was as light as a feather, gliding over the lake. She tiptoed on the two chopsticks, which sank a little, but only caused slight ripples.
Using the momentum, she flew dozens of feet and landed steadily on the deck of the Wang Ji Fish Shop.
All the tourists who saw this scene applauded and cheered.
Xu Qi'an also noticed this scene, but he did not realize that this beautiful woman was looking for him. He even took the time to comment:
"Not bad, not bad. You are powerful even among the fifth-grade Peak Strength. Your Kung Fu is very good."
The Princess was very envious of this ability to fly.
If she had such skills, she would not have ridden a horse, and her butt would not be so sore.
Gongsun Xiu entered the cabin, glanced at the diners in the cabin, and quickly fixed her eyes on Xu Qi'an's table. She walked over with a smile and gracefully cupped her hands.
"I am Gongsun Xiu. May I know your name?"
Xu Qi'an looked at her and replied, "Xu Qian."
He changed the word "Xu" to "Xu" and "Qian" to "Qian".
Gongsun Xiu smiled. "I am very happy to meet you, Brother Xu."
"It's too early for you to be happy …" Xu Qi'an grumbled. Then he restrained his irritable mood and said lightly,
"What can I do for you, Miss Gongsun?"
Gongsun Xiu took the opportunity to say, "If you don't mind, can Brother Xu move to the junk ship of the Gongsun family for a chat?"
She looked at the big ship with the flag of "Gongsun".
Xu Qi'an's heart skipped a beat. He was worried that the exploration of the underground palace by the Gongsun family would help unlock the ancient corpse's seal, so he immediately nodded.
"Okay!"
He turned to the Princess and said, "Wait for me here."
Mu Nanzi squinted at Gongsun Xiu, looking like a willow willow. Then she looked away and nodded with relief. "Okay."
Gongsun Xiu, who was labeled as a willow willow by the number one beauty of Daibun, smiled beautifully and said,
"Please!"
The two went out of the cabin. Gongsun Xiu said, "I will ask someone to send a small boat here."
Then she heard the plain-looking young man in green beside her shake his head and say, "Just go back."
Gongsun Xiu did not say anything and nodded readily. She showed off her body movement again. She tiptoed on two chopsticks and flew dozens of feet away as light as a goose feather. She smoothly returned to the deck of her junk ship.
As soon as she landed, she seemed to sense something. She suddenly turned around and saw a black shadow coming out of her shadow. It turned into a young man in green.
Is he really a member of the Gu Tribe? Gongsun Xiu said calmly, "Brother Xu, good move."
Xu Qi'an nodded indifferently. Under the guidance of Gongsun Xiu, he entered the cabin and came to the observation hall on the second floor.
The hall was not big and was decorated in an antique style. Five vigorous men were sitting around the round table and an old Taoist in an old Taoist robe.
The six of them either looked sideways or turned around to look at him. Their eyes were full of scrutiny.
Gongsun Xiu smiled and introduced Xu Qi'an to the others.
"Brother Xu, where are you from?" A man in the Qi Realm asked.
"People from the capital." Xu Qi'an said.
The Warrior who was not interested in him at first had their eyes lit up and said with a smile, "Have you seen Xu Yinluo?"
Xu Qi'an took a seat and replied, "I have seen him a few times."
Gongsun Xiu heard this and joined the conversation with interest.
"I heard that Xu Yinluo is a handsome man. He is a rare handsome man in the world."
She had heard too many stories and legends about Xu Yinluo. As an unmarried woman, she was more curious and interested in the appearance of this legendary man.
Xu Qi'an thought for a while and sighed, "He is the man with the best appearance I have ever seen. Every time I see him, I can't help but lament the unfairness of the heavens."
The best appearance … Gongsun Xiu's eyelashes fluttered and she muttered to herself, "What an amazing man."
Damn it, my bad habit of bragging still hasn't changed. I can't forget about the Orb of the Earth fragment … Xu Qi'an reflected on himself.
What followed was a round of flattery around Xu Yinluo. The Warrior admired the famous Xu Yinluo and said that without Xu Yinluo, there would be no Daibun.
The news of his regicide had spread to Yong Province, which was not far from the capital.
Gongsun Xiu ended the topic reluctantly and went back to business.
"Brother Xu, how long have you been in Yong Province? Have you heard about the great tomb that has caused a lot of uproar recently? The Gongsun family is recruiting capable people to explore the tomb together.
"I see that Brother Xu is very skillful and would like to invite you to explore the tomb together."
All the Warrior at the table remained silent. They had no objections. The tomb was dangerous, and it would be good to have someone to share the burden.
If they were strong, it would be reasonable for them to share the loot. If they were weak, they could only blame themselves if they died in the tomb.
Xu Qi 'an did not immediately agree. He pondered for a moment and asked,
He asked, "How much do you know about the underground tomb?"
Gongsun Xiu said slowly,
"The first person to discover the tomb was a hunter in the mountains. He accidentally fell into a collapsed cave and found a tomb in the belly of the mountain. Then, the news spread from Yong Province.
"In fact, before the Gongsun family sealed off South Mountain, many Jianghu people went to explore the tomb, but no one came back. After the Gongsun family got the news, they organized people to go to the tomb and lost contact with them.
"But we found that the tomb was made of Aquamarine. It's of high quality. There must be a great treasure inside."
"I've already taken the greatest treasure there. There's only a thousand-year-old corpse left …" Xu Qi'an said, "This tomb is very dangerous.
Warrior doesn't know geomancy and arrays. If he enters rashly, he'll be in danger. Young Mistress, please think twice. "
Gongsun Xiu smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Taoist Qing Gu.
The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled. "According to I's observation, the tomb had a terrible collapse due to its age. Even if there's an array inside, it's mostly broken. Maybe there's still some danger left. The previous groups of people probably died because of it.
"Therefore, the Gongsun family is taking the lead and organizing us to explore the tomb together. We can all get a share of the loot."
Xu Qi'an looked at the beautiful Young Mistress of the Gongsun family and said,
"When do you plan to explore the tomb?"
Gongsun Xiu said, "Tonight."
Tonight, I can use this group of people to explore the path and feel the ancient corpse's condition to see how much of its strength it has recovered … Xu Qi'an knew that it was impossible to dispel the group of Pugilistic World people's yearning for the tomb with just a few words.
He twirled the wine glass and pretended to be hesitant.
"I'm not talented, so I won't join in the fun. Thank you for your hospitality, Young Mistress. However, I still want to give everyone a piece of advice. This tomb is dangerous. If you encounter a crisis that you can't solve, you must say out loud, 'Have you forgotten your agreement with that person?!' "
Everyone was stunned.
He looked at Gongsun Xiu and said, "Young Mistress, please send me back."
Gongsun Xiu couldn't hide her disappointment. She arranged for someone to prepare a boat for him and send him back to Wang Ji Fish Workshop.
Xu Qi'an stood up and left. He walked to the staircase, turned around, and said with a smile,
"It's going to rain soon. The autumn rain is endless. Remember to bring rain gear when you visit the tomb tonight. Everyone, goodbye."
He went down the stairs. In the sound of his footsteps, a Mortal Realm Warrior curled his lips and sneered, "Young Mistress, you've made a mistake this time. You've invited a coward."
"Not only is he a coward, but he's also deliberately mystifying things. What agreement? What rain? Those are all excuses to save face."
All the Warrior shook their heads and made sarcastic comments.
They were afraid, but this person was not only cowardly, but also deliberately mystifying things to save face.
Gongsun Xiu shook her head and raised her glass. "Let's drink."
She was also full of disappointment. That person's speech and temperament were different from ordinary Pugilistic World people.
Everyone put this episode to the back of their minds and continued to chat and drink. After an unknown period of time, they suddenly heard a series of "Pa Pa" sounds. All the martial artists, including Gongsun Xiu, looked at the lake in astonishment.
Dense ripples appeared on the lake. The heavy rain was rustling, and the autumn was chilly.
"This …" Gongsun Xiu's eyes widened.
The hall instantly quieted down.
