Chapter 22: Humans Light Candles, Ghosts Blow Light
Translator: Translated Henyee Editor: Translated Henyee
Zhao Guang is 36 years old this year.
He was born in Pingyang County in Gunung Walet Jin Agung Prefecture. In his early years, he worked as an alchemist in mines and was responsible for making gunpowder and blasting work in mines.
Later, the governor of the Walet Mountain area rebelled and brought all the craftsmen in the square to join him. He took advantage of the chaos and fled.
Three years ago, Zhao Guang ended up in Juhe County.
Experienced in mixing gunpowder and concocting explosives, he is recruited by a group of grave robbers and begins to do fraudulent business for money.
At first, he felt this was detrimental to his morals and he felt a little defiant.
However, as the amount of work the grave robbers completed increased, his savings also increased. Due to his unique skill set, he quickly becomes the second commander of a gang of grave robbers and gradually becomes addicted to the thrill of grave robberies.
With the stolen goods he had obtained from selling the items from the job of robbing his tomb, Zhao Guang managed to buy a mansion in the City in just one year. He's married and has a child. He even brought his old mother from the chaotic Swallow Mountain County to support him.
In this chaotic world, Zhao Guang's life could already be said to be extremely beautiful.
Therefore, he thought of washing his hands of this business more than once.
Especially after his son was born and his mother was brought in, this thought became even stronger.
Unfortunately, the leader of the mausoleum robbers and the others did not let him go.
There is a rule in the Big Jin: Kill all the grave robbers mercilessly!
Those who dared to do such a thing were all criminals without exception.
As long as Zhao Guang dared to retreat, even if he only mentioned it once, he would probably become a corpse the next day.
But three days ago, the King of Thieves, Wang Ba, suddenly gathered all his brothers together and told them something.
Wang Ba said that after many years of observing ama, he had found the location of King Lu's tomb.
As long as they could finish this job, they would not have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives. They will also be able to wash their hands of the business. They no longer had to risk robbing the tomb.
This moved everyone, including Zhao Guang.
King Lu!
This is the site of the King of the Territory's tomb. He had bestowed the land area upon the founding of the Great Jin, and the state of Lu was a prosperous land. The burial items in King Lu's tomb must have been priceless!
The wealth in them might exceed the combined amount they had gained from all the grave robbery work they had done in the past!
Hence, everyone agrees!
After a delicious feast of wine and meat, Wang Ba and Zhao Guang brought their comrades, a total of seven people, complete with all their equipment. Taking advantage of the night, they came to this forest that was over 10 li away from Juhe County.
The explosion!
After a loud explosion, a huge stone door finally appeared in front of them.
Due to the violent explosion, a crack appeared on the stone door.
Zhao Guang stood behind the group and nodded with a smile.
He was not the one who used explosives to blow up the road leading to the tomb, but he was very satisfied with the power of the explosives he had prepared this time.
According to past experience, as long as a crack appeared on the stone door, the mechanisms in the tomb would be severely damaged, increasing the chances of survival.
Judging from the size of the crack, it was impossible to damage the buried treasure.
“Hahaha, Second Bro's explosives are really getting better and better!”
Wang Ba laughed loudly and turned to Zhao Guang. “From today onwards, your mother is my mother. Your wife and children are my family.
“As long as we are in Giant Deer County, we will not let them suffer any complaints!”
“Haha, thank you Brother.” Zhao Guang cupped his fists and smiled.
Right now, he was still relying on his boss. He wanted to earn more after this job, so he naturally would not offend this boss.
However, he felt that what Wang Ba had just said sounded a bit strange.
“Sister, Second Brother, let's quickly open the door of the tomb and see what treasures are inside.”
“Ya yes. Let's do it fast. Recently, quite a number of young disciples from the martial sect had left the county town. They like nosy.”
“The explosion was a little too loud. We'd better find him soon. This is King Lu's tomb! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Everyone started talking one after another as they worked together to push the stone door open.
They were all experts in martial arts. With the combined efforts of the five of them, they quickly moved the stone door of King Lu's Tomb, which weighed thousands of catties, into a gap wide enough for two people.
“Haha, it's open! It's open! The treasure is ahead! ”
One of them cheered, feeling as if there was a mountain of gold and silver right in front of him. He immediately rushed through the crack.
“Wait for this dad!”
The other two also ran in.
Wang Ba and Zhao Guang were in no hurry to enter.
These are their rules. The younger brother will enter first while the two leaders will enter later.
After the three people in front entered, the two of them took out some lanterns and lit a candle inside before slowly walking into the tomb.
King Lu's tomb is very beautiful. It was practically built according to the style of the land belonging to King Lu when he was alive.
Even experienced grave robbers like Wang Ba and Zhao Guang were amazed. With each step they took, they could see the treasure that left them dumbfounded.
“Damn, treasure warehouse, it really is a treasure warehouse!” Wang Ba's eyes twinkled, and even his voice trembled slightly. He subconsciously smiled and said, “Mine, it's all mine ... ours!”
“...” Zhao Guang, who was walking beside him, frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong with Wang Ba today.
He seemed too excited.
He also realized that there were no more voices ahead.
The three brats seemed to know how to plunder quietly. Each time, they would make the tomb noisy like a wet market.
“What's going on?” Wang Ba also looked confused. He looked at Zhao Guang beside him and thought, “It shouldn't be the time ..”
Back then—
“Ahhh!!”
“Ghost! Ghost!”
“Running!”
An extremely frightened scream suddenly came from the front.
Immediately after, three figures dashed out from the grave like they were running for their lives.
All of their faces were pale, as if they were extremely frightened.
“What happened?!” Wang Ba shouted, “Don't run!”
“What ghost?!” Zhao Guang immediately became alert and took out a black donkey's fingernail from his chest pocket!
In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived in front of the two.
“Boy brother! Second Brother! Fast...”
The three of them wanted to shout, but their voices suddenly stopped. Their bodies twitched violently, and they actually died from bleeding from their seven holes in the blink of an eye!
When Zhao Guang saw this scene, he felt like his scalp was about to explode from fear. He hurriedly looked at Wang Ba beside him. “Kakak, why don't we ..”
However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy and his entire body was wracked with intense pain. He could feel a warm sensation coming from his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and seven holes. He might bleed.
Blood flowed from all seven holes!
“You?!” Zhao Guang's eyes widened as he looked at Wang Ba in disbelief. His eyes were filled with anger and hatred.
“Hehe, Brother, go quietly.” Wang Ba turned to look at him, his eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered, “Everything here should be mine from the start!”
“G-ghost!” Zhao Guang suddenly exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the area behind Wang Ba.
“What dog ghost? There is no such thing in this world!” Wang Ba had raided countless graves before. He did not believe in any evil things. As he mocked Zhao Guang, he turned to look.
However, this scene caused him to freeze as if he was struck by lightning on the spot.
He saw a young man wearing strange clothes slowly walking out of the gloomy and dark tomb, walking towards him step by step.
Somebody!
There's actually someone inside!
In King Lu's tomb, which had been sealed for over a hundred years, there was actually a sixth person besides them!
Hu –
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew from within the tomb.
Wang Ba was horrified to learn that the candle in his lantern had been extinguished.
Men light candles!
Ghosts blow the light!
“No! Don't come!”
Wang Ba was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he cried out in great fear.
At this moment, he felt something explode in his head. An indescribable fear instantly overflowed!
