Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 28 Tomb Raiders Guild
Sun Tingting sat domineeringly opposite, and Alina sat next to her, slowly sipping a cup of coffee.I was sitting opposite, looking like I was being trained.

"Hmph, I'll let you off first for the sake of killing Alina this time." Sun Tingting said extremely annoyed, "Alina has already told me about your situation. To be honest, these things can be regarded as our organization. It’s a secret. Our organization has always been in a kind of semi-underground. Without a special reason, we will not let outsiders know about us.”

"Your second uncle is my uncle, and I'm not an outsider." I said hastily.

"That's up to you! If I didn't know that you may have some connections with our family, I wouldn't even waste the time drinking coffee here!" Sun Tingting gave me a blank look and said, "Anyway, let me confirm again, your master is called Li Tianjue. That's right."

"Hmm." I nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's start with our organization." Sun Tingting took a sip of coffee and said, "Our organization's name outside is Yaolong Co., Ltd. The main business projects are divided into two parts, one part is a subordinate university, The other part is the archaeological expedition. It may be a bit of an understatement to say so, then you can also think that our organization is the Tomb Raiders Guild."

"Tomb Raiders Guild?" The corners of my mouth twitched a little, thinking that it really was a group of tomb robbers.Looks like it's in a den of thieves.

"This company is just a shell. Our organization was established in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the genre of tomb robbers was declining. At that time, two schools realized the power of cooperation. So the two factions cooperated to establish the original Tomb Guild. The two factions are Xunlongtian The officials and the Taibao of the Tomb Road." Sun Tingting said, "As the name suggests, the Dragon-Xun Tianguan is good at finding dragons and acupuncture points, and you can know the pattern of the tomb passages underneath by looking at the mountains and rivers. It's hard to hurt him at all. His famous skill is Heng Yuanxiang who cultivates the three flavors of the human body."

"Wait! Something strange has entered our conversation. What is Heng Yuanxiang!" I asked strangely.

"It's sheep, sheep and sheep!" Sun Tingting gave me a blank look and said, "The original name of the exercise is "Sanyang Jue", and now the newcomers call it Heng Yuanxiang. Don't tell you that you don't know the name of the exercise after practicing for so long."

"go on."

"Since the merger of the two factions, the rise of the Tomb Raiders Guild has been out of control. However, the president of the past generations has been held by the Xunlong Tianguan. This has to mention a strange person. Also when the two factions merged, the Xunlong Tianguan A strange person came out of the officials. This person is well versed in the creation of heaven and earth, and is good at ancient rivers and mountains. Zeng watched the sky at night, and pointed out the locations of seven imperial tombs on the map. Shocked the tomb robbery world at that time. This person is extremely arrogant. Long Tianguan. Finding the dragon’s acupoints is as simple as fishing in the abyss. There is a rule in his lineage, that is, there must be a word Jue in the name of his descendants. There is jade in the soil, and gold has a price Jade is priceless. It is the pinnacle of tomb robbery. Among all the disciples, only one can inherit the title of Diaolong Tianguan." Having said this, Sun Tingting gave me a meaningful look.

"You mean that my master is the descendant of Diaolong Tianguan." I exclaimed.

"This is not the key point. The key point is that the names of the disciples of Diaolong Tianguan's inner sect are all three characters. My surname is one character, plus the word Jue, and another character. And your master named you Zhao Jue, there are only two words. Do you know what this means?" Sun Tingting said.

"You mean——he has decided that I'm the only apprentice!" I said a little unsure of myself.

"Senior Li Tianjue was the last president of the Tomb Raiders Guild. However, he never took in any apprentices, so the position of the Dragon Fishing Official has always been vacant, and he named you Zhao Jue, which means that you will be his only apprentice— —that is, the next Diaolong Tianguan." Sun Tingting paused and then said, "According to the rules, you should be the next president of the Tomb Raiders Guild."

I just felt like something exploded inside my head.For a long time, I only thought of my master as an unsuccessful folk expert, but I never thought that he would be the boss of such an organization.And without anyone knowing it, I was trained by him to be the next president.Tomb robbery is still illegal in my subconscious mind.One day someone suddenly told me that I, a young man living under the red flag, was the leader of an illegal organization.It's as if Ben suddenly came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Boy, I'm very optimistic about you, and the future of Al Qaeda is in your hands." It's as absurd as it is!

"That's the way it is. Do you have anything else to ask?" Sun Tingting said as she drank all the coffee in her cup.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked a little nervously.

Sun Tingting glanced at me, and suddenly laughed, a little sarcastic, "What's wrong with you? You really think of yourself as a character! Just do what you should do, our union is gone, Diaolong Tianguan has been 30 It’s been many years. What should I do or what should I do. Wouldn’t the earth turn around without Diaolong Tianguan?”

I was stunned for a moment, a bit unacceptable to this result.I always feel weird, looking at Sun Tingting's smile, there is still something in the ridicule, like—— Guilt!I see people very accurately, every frown and smile of people has a deep meaning.I actually saw a hint of guilt in Sun Tingting's expression, and it gave me the feeling that she was holding on.Look at Alina again, although she also looks very calm.But between the brows, there was also a strange look at Sun Tingting, as if she felt strange about her answer.

I suddenly realized that Sun Tingting could not believe everything she said.It was her own side of things from beginning to end, and a key point was missing from what she said.That's why my master left the Tomb Raiders Guild 30 years ago.It stands to reason that there is no reason to leave suddenly after a while.And she heard about the long-lost president, so she should have asked me where he was going right away.She gave me the feeling that she had no interest in my master.

Suddenly, a possibility formed in my mind.This is a mutiny!As she said, the Tomb Raiders Guild was divided into two factions, and Sun Tingting's faction rebelled back then.They forced my master to leave the trade union. It can even be said that my master fled.That would explain Sun Tingting's attitude.A former president who had to step down due to rebellion, she naturally hoped that she would never come back.As for the successor of the president, it is naturally best not to get close to the core of the guild's power.Both are best never to appear in their field of vision.

It feels like a dynasty was overthrown by a rebellious general.But the emperor took the prince to flee far away, and the prince came back after many years.The general was naturally terrified and did not want the prince to come back.My master is the first emperor, and I am that prince.

Thinking of this, I don't know how to change it for a while.It stands to reason that this situation is quite good for me, I don't want to be involved in this illegal business, and they don't want me to show up.We acted as if we had never met each other, and we ignored each other.So peacefully and forever.

But is this fair to Master?Maybe all the cultivation he did to me at the beginning was to let me take back everything that should belong to him for him in the future.Thinking of the ancient tomb that the master took me to, I spent 20 years in it without anyone noticing.All of this may have been arranged by Master.It's a path he paved for me.A way for me to return to the guild and get back what belongs to him.

As his disciple, shouldn't I inherit Master's wishes?Suddenly, I remembered my childhood.The way Master looked at me quietly from the side.It was like looking at one's own shadow, or one's own past.Why I have never understood, that is a kind of look that puts great hope on me!

There seemed to be two roads in front of me, and one retreated.If I leave here and stop asking about the Tomb Raiders Guild, then I guess I will have a safe rest of my life.And the other road is destined to be full of thorns. I have been timid, but I don’t know why when I think of the way Master looked at me, my heart feels like something is burning.

I took a deep breath, "The last question, why did my master leave the Tomb Raiders Guild?"
