"He and I fight side by side, and the pot head lights the fire without breaking the knot!"
"MD! These bitches go too far! Do you really think we are easy to bully? I'm telling you, Hongmao, give me a few more detonators!"
Hearing the cliche coming from the other side, the mountain ghost was immediately furious.
Tomb robbing is a business that has more wolves than meat. There are only so many ancient tombs, so it is inevitable to meet a few colleagues down there.
There are rules for tomb robbing, and no one wants to risk their lives to get down there only to have a wasted trip. If you don't want to fight to the death, you can choose to cooperate. In line with the principle of first come, first served, if something is available, let the first group of people take it. Those who come after you can only take what others have left, and are not allowed to interfere in the middle.
What the woman shouted was the trap of this method, but this is usually said by the weaker party to back down and ask for peace. The trap means that everyone is friends in the same industry, and they should not fight or kill each other when they meet. Forge a grudge.
The current situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak. They captured Haozi and fired a series of empty shots at everyone. After showing off their prestige, they now said they wanted to cooperate. They would give you a few slaps and give you a piece of cake.
We are better than you, but we are very kind. We will not kill you. If you see something, stand aside and wait until we have something left. You can take it again. In the eyes of Chen Tao, Shan Gui and others, this is clearly bullying!
"Damn, this is too much! Uncle Long, we..."
Before Chen Tao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Uncle Long waving his hand.
"It may not be that the enemy is strong and we are weak... They must have encountered some obstacles that are difficult to overcome and need our help! Otherwise, according to the speed of those people, they would have entered the depths of the ancient tomb by now. Why stay here to guard us? , they are asking for peace with us."
It seems...that makes some sense.
"The mountains stretch out across the water, and you have to pass the threshold to cross the river. The river leads directly to the Dragon Tower Hall, so good chickens will be dug up from the Black Mountains!" Uncle Long said back in that direction.
It is said that there are three hundred and sixty professions in the world, and these professions are collectively called mountains in the slang. Baishan is the official, and Heishan is the underworld. Those who do business are called Jinshan, those who farm are called Nishan, and those who rob tombs are called Tushan.
The meaning of Uncle Long's first two sentences is that since we are all traveling together, explain your origins and recognize each other clearly. Passing the threshold means reporting one's own status.
Uncle Long's question was really clever. Since you want to cooperate, then reveal your identity. The people around them are not in the same boat now. If the other party dares to cheat, they will offend several forces.
And what he said in the last sentence was, since you have already arrived at the entrance of the ancient tomb, why didn't you go in and instead ambush us here? This is not only an accusation, but also a test of your own guesses.
The Dragon Tower Hall refers to ancient tombs with treasures. Selling chickens means getting in, and digging up Black Mountain means ambushing people.
"My master won't go out, and my palms will be pricked with fish bones!" the woman opposite continued to shout.
really! Chen Tao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The woman replied that the tomb was a good tomb, but it was a trap and they couldn't get in!
Master actually means the same thing as Longlou Palace, they are both large ancient tombs with luxurious burials. The fish bone refers to the mechanism in the tomb.
Uncle Long thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "Show the plate!" After saying this, he gestured to the people behind him to prepare to go out.
In slang, the plate refers to the face. Uncle Long wanted to meet them, which was considered as agreeing to the other person's request for cooperation.
Shan Gui and Yan looked at each other and stood up with their guns pressed down. Uncle Long got out of the boulder first, then Ah Cheng supported Uncle Wang, and Chen Tao and Boss Zhang followed and got out at the end.
The fire oil that had been blown up next to them was still burning. The mountain ghosts and others raised their guns and looked at the figures slowly walking from the depths of the fire.
"The Chen family's Lord Long is truly extraordinary."
The female voice sounded again, her voice cold and flat, without the slightest emotion. When those people approached, Chen Tao couldn't help but be surprised.
"How is that possible! It's her..."
The people in front of me were the same people who had broken down their cars on the road to Blackwater Town. At first there were only seven or eight of them, but now there were more than a dozen, and a few of them were actually foreigners with hooked noses and blue eyes.
Those people also held guns in their hands, pointing their guns directly at Chen Tao and others in front of them.
"I didn't expect this mixed-race beauty to be quite powerful!" Chen Tao said in shock as he looked at the curly-haired punk-style woman.
The leading woman raised her hand, and those behind them all put down their weapons.
"Ye family, I knew it was you." Uncle Long motioned to Shangui and the others to put down his gun, lit a cigarette and said calmly.
"My little girl Ye Rong, please forgive me if I have offended you."
Uncle Long spat out his eyes and looked at her, "Where is the person?"
Behind the crowd, Haozi was escorted out by someone with something stuffed in his mouth, his hands tied behind his back, and he kept moaning.
The man who was escorting him took out the rag ball from Haozi's mouth and pushed it to Ye Rong's side.
"Bah! Uncle Long, these people are so shady! They knocked me out as soon as I came up. If I hadn't woken up early, they would have done something to you!"
"This is called a war that never tires of deceit!" The man who was escorting Haozi stood next to Ye Rong and said, "I, Liang Shaokai, how do you know each other?"
Chen Tao frowned and looked at the guy in front of him who called himself Young Master. He felt familiar to him.
At this time, this man no longer looked as clean as before in the car. Looking at the chicken coop-like texture, the two narrow single-lidded eyes, and the long face with a lewd and evil smile under the firelight, the image of a certain person in my mind gradually overlapped with it. Recalling the original scene, I felt a tightness somewhere behind me, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
"##¥@#¥! Why do you look so familiar? Why is this stupid pervert like TND here? He's dressed like a human and almost didn't recognize him!"
Liang Shaokai also seemed to have noticed Chen Tao behind Uncle Long. He frowned and moved forward, smacking his lips and saying: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, oh, it's your boy! The taste is strong enough, brother dei! He even stole the bellyband. You've come to the ancient tomb, and I won't let you go for thousands of years!"
Saying this kind of thing in front of so many people, especially in front of that beautiful woman, Chen Tao wanted to slap him to death. He clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth almost broke.
Uncle Long looked at Chen Tao with a strange expression: "Taotao, do you know him?"
"I do not know him!"
"We know each other. Not only do we know each other, I also saved his life!" The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and everyone felt even more strange when they heard the sound.
"Go away, MD, who knows you!"
Liang Shaokai didn't care about Chen Tao's cold face. Looking at Chen Tao who was gnashing his teeth and turning green, he walked over and patted his shoulder carelessly and said, "You have no conscience to say this. Anyway, Mr. Kai." I saved you once. Don’t you know, this brother is really a role model for us! That day..."
"If you say anything more, I'll strangle you to death!" Chen Tao's eyes were on fire.
"Yes, yes, you are amazing, let's not talk about it anymore." Feeling Chen Tao's murderous intent towards him, Liang Shaokai shut his mouth at the right time. He said something lightly, turned to look at Uncle Long seriously, and said with a familiar look: "I can see that you are their boss. Since you are willing to cooperate, why don't we discuss it?"
Uncle Long glanced at Chen Tao with a strange expression. Although he didn't know what happened to the two people, it seemed that they knew each other so far. He relaxed his guard slightly and said, "How do you want to cooperate."
"Help us crack the mechanism, and we'll split everything 50-50."
Uncle Long nodded, this result was already expected.
The Ye family is one of the families that broke away from the Spiritual Alliance. It mainly deals with foreigners and is a rising star that only developed in modern times. They do not have the mature tomb robbing skills of the Spirit Alliance, so they can only rely on external technical power to search for tombs and treasures. This has always been looked down upon by some traditional tomb robber families.
Although the tomb-keepers can no longer guard the imperial mausoleum as they did in the past, some people still think that selling Chinese things abroad is too hateful.
Uncle Long nodded and accepted the conditions they proposed. Now everyone on Chen Tao's side is injured, and everyone has their own agenda. Regarding this muddy water, Uncle Long doesn't mind making it a little more lively.
"Next, it will be even more lively..."
