Chapter 78: Team up for Grave Robbing

Translator: 神锋无影

Many met here at the airport at noon the next day. There were 5 strange faces with Sun Yaxin and Sun Yaheng, and only one strange face with Cao Cao. Taking everyone into account, there was a total of 14 people in the team.

“Have you brought everything? Is everyone here?” Cao Cao was no doubt asking the rest of them, since Xia Mingyu had nothing to take but his Moon Crow Tang Sword. That was all the useful thing he had got.

Sun Yaxin counted the number of the people on his side and answered, “We’re all here. Let’s go.”

When he finished speaking, everyone started to walk out. Xia Mingyu was confused, wasn’t it a plane ride? Fortunately, Sun Yaxin was familiar with him, explaining that it was not easy to get past the safety check of the airport, and the only reason to meet here was because the airport was close to the train station, and they could also get rid of some stalkers this way. Their preferred means of travel was still the train.

Anyway, he doesn’t need to worry but follow. Xia Mingyu looked at the five people behind Sun Yaxin who he didn’t know. The headmost was about the age of Wangchuan, and the other four looked more like bodyguards. Curious, was he a young master from a certain family?

Perhaps seeing that he was too concerned, Sun Yaxin said in a low voice, “He’s from the Zhang family.”

Xia Mingyu was stunned and obviously sensitive when hearing the Zhang family, Sun Yaxin poked his head and said amusingly, “Don’t think too much. It’s not the exact Zhang family from the book Grave Robbers Chronicles”. This Zhang family was in the arms businesses. Did you see the leader? He is Zhang Chi, the only child of the Zhang family and the fiance of your senior sister He Nai.”

Uh… He didn’t connect him to Kylin Zhang. Xia Mingyu rubbed his head where Sun Yaxin had poked. If it wasn’t for He Nai to chatter in his ear “Why wasn’t he Kylin Zhang, why his last name was Zhang”, he wouldn’t be so sensitive.

Xia Mingyu glanced at the young man named Zhang Chi and asked Sun Yaxin, “Will the government allow arms businesses?”

“Don’t think that the government is in charge of everything. The Zhang family is a big family. Even if the government wants to look for trouble, it must weigh the costs. Should the arms supplies be cut off by the Zhang family, then the trouble will find the army. After all, the Zhang family also has a reputation in the underworld society at home and abroad. The government will not want to cause trouble.”

I knew, I knew. You were telling me that the Zhang family was very powerful, and one would not want to mess with them. Xia Mingyu was not interested in the Zhang family anymore, and he turned to look at the guy with Cao Cao. The man had a handsome appearance, and looked gentle and kind. When he smiled, there were dimples on his cheek, and his temperament was not like a modern man…

“You seem to care a lot about me.” The man suddenly spoke, which gave Xia Mingyu a good surprise, and he subconsciously move to Zhao Yun. Cao Cao shook head and smiled, introducing the man to Xia Mingyu, “I forgot , little kid, you must not know him. This is Guo Jia, my best assistant.”

Little kid my ass… Xia Mingyu gave Cao Cao a despicable look and saw that Zhao Yun didn’t feel suprprise at all, so he probably knew Guo Jia. Has this place been occupied by those from the era of the Three Kingdoms?Were zombies that easy to cultivate and achieve ascension? Cao Cao, how did you make it?

The group arrived at the train station soon, and someone led them getting on board. Xia Mingyu saw that almost every one of them carried an oversized travel bag, and he was little confused, so he went to ask Sun Yaxin, who probably was the only one with patience to explain.

“These people are definitely not ordinary travellers. Little Mingyu, you’re too simple. Do you remember where you first met your master?” The sixth carriage of the train was chartered by Cao Cao, so there was no other people, and they had already had their sleeping berths assigned, so Xia Mingyu and Zhao Yun sat with the Sun brothers.

What Sun Yaxin just mentioned reminded Xia Mingyu, “It was in the grave.” Saying this, he instantly realized, “Oh, is that it? You meant that the Master is in the business of robbing graves?”

“Not exactly. Mu Feng was a Taoist, but sometimes one can only find some things in graves, so he had to rob those places. So what I mean is that this train is only for graves robbing. It’s also a way to keep the news from leaking. Understand?”

“I understand, you guys are rich, I never expect you should charter a train to rob graves.” Xia Mingyu had a deeper understanding of graves robbing business, only to pray for not encountering soul-eating worms like last time when he was on the train with Wu Jiuge, but even if he had to face that situation once more, those worms won’t take any advantage from him. After all, there were five corpse kings on Cao Cao’s side.

“Then, that’s it. Only when there is a big news can there be so many grave robbers. Now it seems the people of the circle has known where Mu Feng went. However, it’s just their wishful thinking to have a finger in the pie. Even Mu Feng can’t handle it, it’s definitely a dangerous grave.”

How dangerous would the grave be? Would it be as dangerous as six corpse kings and a nine-tailed cat demon? Xia Mingyu could not help but pray for the grave, it was too easy for a corpse king going in and out of graves, not to mention there were a bunch of corpse kings.

So Xia Mingyu didn’t think that this action would be dangerous at all, but he was curious why Sun Yaxin could explain so many things, “Then, why are you so clear? Aren’t you just a psychiatrist?”

Sun Yaxin pointed at Sun Yaheng who sat next to him and smiled, “Have you forgotten? My brother and Mu Feng are in the same business.”

Sun Yaheng glanced at his brother, then turned around to nap. Little Yaxin was getting bold-faced. He didn’t feel any shame when lying. After Gongjin woke up, he had to pay close attention to him, in case Gongjin would be led astray.

“Besides, since Cao Cao made the proposal, which meant he was the man who picked up the teamates, and naturally he had to pay us. It will only do us good. Do you understand what I mean?” Sun Yaxin continued, but this time Xia Mingyu did not understand, he really did not.

The young man shook his head blankly, and Sun Yaxin sighed and said, “I mean the reason I agreed to come over and afraided not that you would be kidnapped by Cao Cao was that he should agree to bring others to rob graves, then most of the work will not necessarily need us to do but carry things. We do not need to worry about our safety.”

Of course not, even if the grave had something powerful, would it match a bunch of corpse kings? Xia Mingyu had never thought about something like that, he just didn’t understand Cao Cao’s sudden kindness: “Safety is the second thing I care. I’d rather to know why Cao Cao was so kind.”

“There are only two reasons. First, he must get the thing in the grave, but he needs us to help clear those little potatoes, just take a look at how many grave robbers there are on this train. I guess Cao Cao disdain to take care of them, so he leaves them to us. Second, maybe the thing in the grave can only be obtained by some of us. But he may also want to do us a special favor.”

Sun Yaxin stretched out and lay down to sleep, “Okay, you have too many questions. I don’t want to answer them all. I’m going to sleep and rest my mind for grave robbing.”

The Sun brothers on the opposite side were asleep, and it was not good for Xia Mingyu to ask other things. Eight-Tail was being unreasonable, as a cat, it occupied one whole berth and their luggages occupied another one, so Xia Mingyu and Zhao Yun had to stay on the bottom berth, and the two of them lay down face to face.

“Xiaoyu, you must stick with me before and after you enter the grave, understand?” Zhao Yun clearly knew that the action would not be that simple, and Xia Mingyu nodded, “Well, I know, I won’t cause trouble.”

“Good Mingyu, go to sleep.” Zhao Yun reached out to touch the young man’s head, this action had became his habit. Xia Mingyu moved a bit to lean against him, then closed his eyes and slept. Evil Soul who hid in the inner vision yawned, and found that the smell of the hidden corpses on the Sun brothers was gone, and he guessed that they had covered the smell up, maybe in fear of being looked through by Cao Cao, but they didn’t have to do it because he was the only one to find out the smell.

There was no movement of the Poisonous Qiansi Parasite recently, it should be entering the first mutation stage, which might take about a few days. When he came out of the grave, the demon werewolf that he sent to Nanjiang should’ve returned. If he could get the burning flowers and the poisonous star grasses, it might be possible for him to detoxify the poison of the Qiansi Parasite.

Evil Soul stretched out and fell into sleep. He must also preserve his strength, there must be something horrible in the grave, even Zhao Yun would fall into danger. Not to mention that the grave was built on the middle dragon vein. If the person who built the grave intended badly, something big might happen.

Compared to the sound sleep on this side, the three on Cao Cao’s side were discussing the route on the map. Guo Jia knocked with his folding fan on the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan on the map and smiled, “Ma Chao’s grave was on a wasteland, but he probably didn’t choose it on his own. It must be Zhuge Kongming who arranged this.”

“Ma Chao was a fierce general. If on the battlefield, he was invincible. But when it came to Feng Shui, he naturally didn’t understand.” Cao Cao spoke objectively, and Guo Jia nodded and continued, “Look at this, through the direction of the dragon veins and the position of the five mythical creatures, it is a place of extremely ominous. But it is also possible that Zhuge Kongming has played some tricks and turned this place to an auspicious land. So before seeing the grave, any speculation is premature .”

“It doesn’t matter. This grave is just for bewilderment. We just need to take the thing from the main grave.” Cao Cao smiled and didn’t care about the things Guo Jia analyzed. Based on what he deduced, Zhuge Liang would never bury Ma Chao in such a conspicuous place. Just like Zhao Yun, Ma Chao might also lie in a hidden grave of his own family.

“You’re right, my lord.” As soon as Guo Jia’s voice fell, Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan walked over, “My lord, the identity of those from the fourth carriage has been confirmed. They’re from the Ma family in Shandong Province”

“The Ma family? Are you sure?” Guo Jia asked suspiciously, and Xia Houyuan nodded with certainty, then said, “We’re sure, because they carry the Ma’s Jade. My lord, if the Ma family came in person, would Ma Chao really be buried in the grave?”

Cao Cao didn’t answer directly, leaning against the table, he looked at his son Cao Pi and smiled, “How do you think? Ziheng (Cao Pi’s literary name)?”

Cao Pi closed his eyes and replied gently, “If it is Ma Chao, then this is the family grave of the Ma family. They won’t allow anyone else to interfere. But I don’t think anyone will build the grave at a place so far away. Because that’s not good for his own family. Therefore, the Ma family may just want to enter the grave and find out the truth. However, from any aspect, the Ma family is not a friend.”
