Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

Page 5

"Old Hu, give me your compass."

Zhou Xun had always wanted to explain his identity to Huba and Fatty Wang and integrate into the group. This was a good opportunity, so he simply used the Dragon-Seeking Art to divide the gold and locate the acupoint to find the entrance.

Although Huba was puzzled as to what Zhou Xun wanted the compass for, he still handed it to him.

“To find the dragon and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains. Each winding is a breakthrough.”

"If there are eight dangers in closing the door, it will not be in the shape of Yin-Yang Bagua."

After Zhou Xun took the compass, he recited the formula while using the compass to locate the location.

After determining where the tomb was, he began to look for the tunnel dug by the previous group of people nearby.

Soon, the hole was found under a big tree.

"Found it. This should be the hole dug by the tomb robbers." Zhou Xun said with a satisfied smile.

Then, looking back, Huba and Fatty Wang were both stunned, while Yingzi was curious about what she was doing.

"Uncle Zhou, was that the Dragon Seeking Art you just recited?" Huba asked doubtfully. He really couldn't believe that Zhou Xun actually knew the Dragon Seeking Art, which was part of the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique.

"Mr. Zhou, have you found the entrance to the tomb? Why do I feel that you are much more capable than Old Hu?" The fat man was completely stunned.

"Old Hu, Fatty, since we are all familiar with each other, let's be honest. There are five tomb-robbing sects in this world. They are the General of the Grave and the Captain of the Grave-Robbing Sect established by Cao Cao. The other three are the Ridge-Removing Warrior, the Taoist Priest of Moving Mountains and the Guardian of the Mountain."

"Old Hu, needless to say, my ancestors have been tomb-raiding lieutenants. Fatty, I know that you also want to be a tomb-raiding lieutenant, and I am the Fa Qiu Zhong Lang Jiang of this generation."

"In terms of rank, the tomb-raiding lieutenant is my subordinate. So, since ancient times, everything that the tomb-raiding lieutenant can do, the general of the divination army can do too. It's just that your sixteen-character yin-yang feng shui secret technique, Old Hu, is different."

"The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Book was written by Zhang Sanlianzi, a tomb raider in the late Qing Dynasty, based on the tomb raider's inherited Dragon Hunting Secrets and the Sixteen-Character Heavenly Gua Quanxiang. Later, because the book was about the secrets of heaven and earth and would harm one's life span, half of the book was destroyed and passed on to his third disciple, Sun Guofu. Your grandfather was Sun Guofu's disciple, so, Old Hu, you only have half of the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Book."

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he quietly waited for the two to come back to their senses, while Yingzi listened to it as if it were a story, and was quite interested.

"Oh my god, Master Zhou, if this was during the Cao Wei period, you would still be a general."

The fat guy's train of thought was a little different, but he understood that Fa Qiu Zhonglang Jiang was very powerful.

"Master Zhou, didn't they say that General Fa Qiu has disappeared for a long time, and even the Fa Qiu Heavenly Seal has been destroyed?"

Since the Fachou faction and the Mojin faction have a close relationship, Lao Hu also knows some things about Fachou.

"There is a seal for Fa Qiu, a talisman for Mo Jin, a technique for moving mountains, and armor for removing mountains. The Fa Qiu seal that was destroyed is a fake."

After saying that, he took out the Fa Qiu Seal from the system space and handed it to Lao Hu.

Fatty Wang snatched it away and started reading it. "What's written on it?"

"Blessed by the Heavenly Official, there are no taboos." Old Hu took it from the fat man and then gave it back to Zhou Xun.

"So when I saved Fatty last time, I said I was saving one of our own. Wasn't that right?"

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he took the Fa Qiu Seal and put it away.

"Hehe, that's right, we are brothers from now on. Please take care of me, Uncle Zhou." The fat man said with a flattering smile.

"The fat man is right. We have come this far thanks to Master Zhou." Old Hu also complimented him and joked that since Zhou Xun was so skilled, he must be served well.

"Okay, let's go back and eat. After that, have a good rest tonight and go to the tomb tomorrow morning."

After that, everyone took their equipment and went back to eat.

......

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone started to go to the tomb.

Although Yingzi was very scared, since it seemed that the three men were determined to go down to the tomb, she also went down with a shotgun.

"Oh my God, this is so amazing." The fat man began to marvel as he looked at the tomb passage and the open tomb door in the distance.

Lao Hu and Zhou Xunyingzi also began to look around.

After all, it was the first time for the four of them to go to the tomb, so it was inevitable that they felt excited.

"Come here, Lao Hu. I'll give you an engineer shovel."

"Yingzi, this is a black donkey hoof that can ward off evil spirits. Take it."

"Master Zhou, I'll give you an engineer shovel as well."

The fat man, who was sober and fully prepared, began to distribute equipment to the three people.

Then he took out a bundle of rope from his bag, threw the other end to the other side, and began to shake it vigorously to test the mechanism.

"Brother Fatty, what are you doing?" Yingzi was very curious when she saw the fat man swinging the rope.

"I'm just testing the mechanism. Don't let a thousand arrows come at us when we're halfway there and we'll be shot in the foot."

The fat man explained as he shook himself.

"Brother Fatty, you know so much." Yingzi started praising Fatty for the first time.

"That's right, your fat brother has been studying hard all the way, and he is learning and applying what he has learned." Old Hu said with a smile.

Chapter 9: Exploring the Tomb of a Jin General

Zhou Xun noticed the fat man's behavior and thought that he was quite professional. There was nothing wrong with being careful.

"Let's go. There shouldn't be any traps. After all, someone has already helped us explore the way. But Fatty is right. It's better to be careful. Traps can be reused."

After saying that, Zhou Xun began to lead the way.

After the four people entered the tomb, they found that it was very spacious with a black stone platform in the middle.

Zhou Xun knew that the coffin was inside the stone platform, it just needed a mechanism to be triggered.

"what!"

Yingzi suddenly screamed.

Zhou Xun, Fatty and Lao Hu quickly shone their flashlights over there.

"Don't be afraid, Yingzi. This is a mural. There are murals all around. Besides, Brother Zhou will handle any problem."

Zhou Xun looked at the mural and said soothingly.

Old Hu and the fat man couldn't help but pat their chests. It was obvious that they were also scared.

"These murals should be scenes of fighting on the battlefield, scenes of victory and triumph..." Lao Hu began to explain the murals.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the selection option. ]

[Choice 1: Actively open the coffin, use the mace to kill the zongzi, and be rewarded with the Minghong Knife]

[Option 2: Actively open the coffin, burn the Zongzi to death with the Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Roof, and be rewarded with the Tiger Wing Knife]

[Choice 3: Do not open the coffin actively, cooperate with others to kill Zongzi, and be rewarded with the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife]

......

Of course, the choice would be Xuan-Yuan Sword’s brother, Ming-Hong Sword.

"System, I choose 1."

[Ding! The Minghong Sword has been sent to the system space.]

After Zhou Xun had made his choice, he heard Lao Hu still explaining the murals and went straight to the burial chamber.

The first thing he saw were weapons and shields. Zhou Xun looked at the many bottles and jars on the floor and table, and realized that these were not all earthenware jars, but quite a few porcelain jars.

It’s right that Lao Hu and Fatty are so poor in the original book. Judging from their vision, there’s a reason why they’re poor.

Moreover, from Zhou Xun's point of view, these porcelains are of great value. If the two of them could have taken one out at the beginning, they could have guaranteed themselves food and clothing for ten years.

All the porcelain was directly put into the system space, and the rest were some worthless things.

When they were about to leave, Lao Hu, Fatty and Yingzi also came in and looked around.

"You see, this general is quite poor. All he collects are broken pots and jars or scrap copper and iron."

The fat guy, who got nothing, started complaining.

"What is this?" Yingzi exclaimed as she looked at an animal corpse.

"Dinosaur." The fat man was startled and shone the flashlight at it and said something random.

Zhou Xun burst out laughing when he heard the word "dinosaur". You know what, it really does look a bit like a dinosaur.

"What dinosaur? You're giving up your pear. This is the war horse that will be buried with the general. Do you understand?" Old Hu, who was already frightened, looked down on the fat man when he heard his nonsense.

"Why is there not even a coffin?" Yingzi asked curiously.

"It was probably stolen by tomb robbers." said the fat man angrily.

After saying that, he came to the mace and tried to pick it up with both hands, but the mace did not move at all.

Old Hu also lifted it and said, "It's really heavy. It must be several hundred kilograms at least. I didn't expect this general to be born with supernatural powers. No wonder he was later made a marquis and a prime minister."

Lao Hu and Fatty lost interest in the mace that required only two people to shake.

"Come on, I'll take you to find the coffin."

As he said this, he picked up the mace with one hand, which only Old Hu and Fatty could shake, and walked towards the main tomb chamber.

"Oh my god, Master Zhou is also born with supernatural powers." The fat man was shocked.

Lao Hu and Yingzi were speechless. If it were the 21st century, they would probably shout 666.

"Uncle Zhou, you found the coffin." The fat man came to his senses and immediately chased after him with a smile.

Lao Hu and Yingzi also hurriedly followed out.

"All of you retreat to the door. I'm going to press the trigger. It could be dangerous."

Looking at the three people coming out, Zhou Xun made arrangements.

The three of them knew that Zhou Xun's skills were not theirs, so they all stood obediently at the door.

Then Zhou Xun took the mace and pressed in every square stone on the mural.

"Kachakakachaka."

The next second, the mechanism started to activate, and then hundreds of arrows with blue flames were fired.

"Swish swish swish swish!"

The three people at the door were terrified by this scene.

Zhou Xun threw the mace aside. These arrows had a corrosive effect, and Zhou Xun didn't dare to guarantee whether the mace could withstand the attacks, so he simply threw it aside.

Then, relying on his flying skills on the grass and his strong physical condition, he began to dodge by rolling around.

Hundreds of arrows were shot in less than ten seconds.

He didn't even touch the corner of Zhou Xun's clothes.

"Damn it, the tomb owner is too cruel. If it were the three of us, we would have been shot into pieces."

The fat man came into the tomb, looked at the pits on the ground and walls one after another, and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

"Master Zhou, I surrender."

Old Hu gave Zhou Xun a thumbs up.

"Brother Zhou, you are so amazing."

Just as Yingzi finished speaking, the central stone platform emitted a "clang, clang, clang!"

"Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka!" business.

Everyone shone their flashlights over there and saw that the stone platform was actually open.

Inside, a crimson coffin slowly rose up.
