Bai Yun Temple.
Bai Tian Yu and Lao Hu exchanged a glance, and both chuckled knowingly.
“Hey, you two! Don't just laugh! Tell me what's so funny,”
Wang Pangzi was confused. What were his two buddies laughing at? He wanted to know!
“Alright, Fatty, weren't you wanting to return to Niu Xin Mountain to see your blind dates?”
“So, we're going?”
Lao Hu didn't explain anything, instead, he brought up the topic Wang Pangzi had been constantly talking about.
“No, what are you two up to? Tell me! I'm the only one in the dark here, and I'm going crazy!”
Wang Pangzi was so anxious, he was scratching his head and ears, his face full of urgency.
Shaking his head, Bai Tian Yu felt a bit speechless towards his childhood friend.
Wang Pangzi was a good guy, but he couldn't keep secrets, was a chatterbox, and had a bit of ADHD. Ever since he entered the temple,
he hadn't been still for a moment. He was running here and there, like a monkey.
“Fatty, did someone say something to you?”
Bai Tian Yu knew Wang Pangzi well, he wouldn't have just blurted it out without a reason. Someone must have instructed him and Lao Hu to go back to Niu Xin Mountain.
“Well, someone did say something, but I didn't mention Niu Xin Mountain!”
Scratching his head, Wang Pangzi said sheepishly.
“Who was it?”
Lao Hu grew serious too, what if it was someone with ulterior motives?
“It was an antique shop owner. He liked the jade my father left me. I didn't want to sell it, so I accidentally mentioned the things I did in the countryside.”
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Wang Pangzi knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He lowered his head and told them the whole story.
“Is that really it? You didn't mention Niu Xin Mountain?”
Lao Hu nodded, he could tell that Wang Pangzi had started rambling again, but he still asked again.
“How could I? The villagers were so kind to us both. If those things could really help everyone get rich, how could I tell anyone?!”
When Lao Hu questioned him, Wang Pangzi didn't like it, he started arguing.
“Besides, that shopkeeper didn't seem like a good person. He had a gold tooth, definitely a shady businessman!”
A gold tooth! Wang Pangzi actually met Da Jin Ya beforehand, and he even spilled the beans about Niu Xin Mountain.
It seemed like a trip to Niu Xin Mountain was inevitable.
“What do you say, Lao Hu? I heard from Pangzi that you encountered a tomb in the countryside. Should we give it a shot?”
Bai Tian Yu turned to Lao Hu and asked.
Actually, Bai Tian Yu wasn't averse to the idea of tomb raiding. He had lived a very ordinary life in his previous life.
In this life, if he continued to be an honest person, what was the point?
The reason he worked so hard to cultivate was so that he could protect himself and his brothers when faced with situations like this.
And Lao Hu and Wang Pangzi would definitely go tomb raiding. Even with his professional ethics as a retired soldier, Lao Hu would struggle.
But the guilt he felt for the comrades who had protected him on the battlefield and died for him, made him constantly suffer.
For his comrades, Lao Hu felt compelled to go tomb raiding. It was the fastest way to make money, especially since he had his family's Sixteen-Word Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique.
“I, I'll think about it first.”
Lao Hu hesitated. The glory of his military career made him unwilling to do something that harmed Heaven and Earth.
“Hey, Lao Hu, don't tell me you're still thinking about that! Come on!”
Seeing that Lao Hu disagreed, Wang Pangzi became anxious and hurriedly spoke up.
“You think you're a Beijinger now, huh!”
“Hey, my ancestors were Beijingers!”
Bai Tian Yu shook his head. He wasn't in a hurry. There was no need to rush this matter.
Especially with Lao Hu, he was the key. After all, the half-book of the Sixteen-Word Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique was on Lao Hu, and he had definitely absorbed quite a bit of it.
Except for a lack of practical experience and a "Mog Jin Fu" (talisman used in tomb raiding), Lao Hu could be considered a "Mog Jin Xiao Wei" (tomb raider).
He would definitely take this path sooner or later.
“Hey, Lao Bai, you should persuade him!”
In his haste, Wang Pangzi even called him by his old nickname.
In the past, Bai Tian Yu was actually called Lao Bai because although he was the youngest of the three, he spoke with an old-fashioned air.
But after Bai Tian Yu regressed to his childhood, Wang Pangzi rarely used that nickname. Now he called him that again, which showed how anxious he was.
“No, Pangzi, what are you in such a hurry for? Did that shopkeeper give you something?”
Bai Tian Yu hadn't been paying much attention before, but this guy was even calling him Lao Bai, something was wrong.
Lao Hu also felt something was off and looked at Wang Pangzi.
Under their gazes, sweat immediately broke out on Wang Pangzi's forehead.
“This, that!”
“It seems you've already known. Let's go. We haven't been down the mountain for a long time. It's time to go for a walk.”
Having seen through Wang Pangzi's thoughts, Bai Tian Yu patted him on the shoulder and went back to pack his things.
Finally, it was time to go down the mountain!
Ten years!
“You!”
Lao Hu gave Wang Pangzi a slap on the back of the head in exasperation.
He really didn't know what to say about this friend.
For the sake of money, he even abandoned his brother.
“Hey, I just mentioned that you're a tomb raider. I didn't say anything else!”
“…………”
“I'm going to kill you!”
Without hesitation, Lao Hu kicked Wang Pangzi. He was furious.
This kid, he dared to talk about anything outside!
Could he just casually talk about being a "Mog Jin Xiao Wei"?
If the authorities found out, he would be executed!
“Hey, Da Jin Ya won't talk nonsense!”
Wang Pangzi stood up, patting his bottom like nothing had happened, and laughed foolishly.
“Get lost!”
Lao Hu angrily sat on the meditation cushion and took a sip of tea.
After a while, Bai Tian Yu came out carrying a pack.
“Hey, Lao Bai, you actually have a backpack! What is this, what year is it?”
Seeing Bai Tian Yu's backpack, Wang Pangzi, the chatterbox, couldn't help but complain.
“If you can find a backpack, I'll give you one to use!”
Rolling his eyes at Wang Pangzi, Bai Tian Yu tidied up the temple slightly, lit three incense sticks, and bowed.
“Let's go!”
He took one last look at Bai Yun Temple, smiled, and put his arm around Lao Hu's shoulder, walking down the mountain.
Bai Tian Yu had released all the creatures in the temple.
He hoped they wouldn't die at the hands of hunters.
“Hey, wait for me, you two!”
