Shengrentang Village, Old Master Xiao’s home.
Under the mediation of his wife, Xiao Yuanfu had breakfast with his son. Then, they all went out in unison, walked deep into Tiantang Village behind the village, and entered the valley.
Xiao Wuwang looked at his father's stubborn figure, changed his tone and said, "Father, you'd better stop getting involved in this matter. I'm begging you."
Xiao Yuanfu didn't answer. He knew that Xiao Wuwang should have something to say when he found him.
"We have found Emperor Xu's tomb. According to the leader of Tianxia Huiming Sect, the secret to unlocking Tianwan's treasure is inside. We are going to enter the tomb tomorrow. You can't stop it no matter what. You have no chance of winning."
"What? Emperor Xu's tomb?" Although Xiao Yuanfu already knew about Emperor Xu's tomb, he still hesitated and pretended not to know.
"I said, you will definitely lose, so you should come back as soon as possible, even if I beg you. You know how the commander is, once the secret of the treasure is completely revealed, you will all be killed. You should come back At home, you can be a teacher safely, why should you go out and take these risks?"
The words Xiao Wuwang said were partly from his heart and partly to set a trap for his father. He knew his father's temper, and the old man would not be persuaded to come back by him. But he can no longer extricate himself. He has become one with Xu Hao. He will follow all Xu Hao's instructions because here, he can get recognition and a sense of accomplishment.
Although Xu Hao did not instruct him to do this, it was just a task assigned to him by Ming Xiang. Mingxiang knew that Xu Hao wanted to visit the tomb, but he would never say it himself to avoid telling the truth. However, "We cannot restrain ourselves," Mingxiang told him.
Therefore, Xiao Wuwang agreed to Ming Xiang's approach and made a decision for Xu Hao. Even if this decision is actually just an excuse for Mingxiang not to be involved in digging Xu Shouhui's grave.
But Xiao Wuwang felt that it was worthwhile for him to do so. He was sure that Xu Hao needed such a person now.
Since there are so many people who want to enter this tomb, why not let others go first? If we follow him in again, it will be someone else who opens the tomb.
This is Mingxiang's plan. Moreover, if someone needs to be responsible for this matter, Xiao Wuwang is undoubtedly the best scapegoat. Xiao Wuwang has obviously not thought of this level yet. Maybe he is not stupid, but just too naive, but people often have to pay the price for their naivety. This may be the pain of growing up!
Xiao Yuanfu turned around and stared at his son, and suddenly found that the son he had always been familiar with had completely puzzled him at some point. Is he just trying to persuade me? Or do you have ulterior motives? Xiao Yuanfu was not sure, but he would never back down. He should tell the Ming sisters about the news and let everyone discuss how to deal with it.
In addition, Xiao Yuanfu actually lives in conflicts every day. He feels deeply sorry for his wife and son. Seeing his son increasingly turning against him, he feels helpless and panicked.
In Zhong Mingxuan, everyone unconsciously felt the seriousness of the situation regarding the news brought back by Xiao Yuanfu.
Unable to wait for Xu Ying's instructions, even Chen Mo disappeared. Both Ji Bu and Huizhong were a little anxious, wondering whether he was troubled by the temple affairs or encountered some other changes.
Chen Quanzhong said: "We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, they will take away the treasure."
Many people think that Emperor Xu's tomb seems to be the location of the treasure.
Huizhong was a little moved. He looked at Ji Bu and moved his lips.
Ji Bu remained expressionless and still sat there.
Zhang Tiehan was anxious for a long time and said loudly: "Master, let's go first. Anyway, let's go and understand the situation there first so that we can deal with it."
What Zhang Tiehan said was not unreasonable, and Chen Quanzhong, Jing Yunpeng, Tie Lian and others also agreed.
If the bad guys were allowed to get the treasure out of fear of desecrating Emperor Xu, this would be a serious crime. At this time, the moral bottom line of digging people's ancestral graves no longer exists in everyone's mind. What everyone is thinking about is, what will they face if they continue so early?
Xiao Yuanfu slowly walked up to Ji Bu and said softly: "Master..."
Ji Bu seemed to have finally made up his mind. He raised his head, pronounced the Buddha's name, and said: "The situation has become inevitable. It seems that we have to do this." His eyes glanced at Li Rufeng and suddenly stopped.
"Young Master Li, do you see anything wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just... I feel like there's something fishy about this?"
Feng Yanlang also felt this way, and immediately asked: "Brother, do you feel anything?"
Li Rufeng shook his head. This feeling was not clear.
"Go, we are definitely going, but I think we have to understand something first." Fang Lingyan said firmly.
"What's the point?"
"Why is Xiao Wuwang telling us this? Is it just to persuade the old master?"
Xiao Yuanfu stroked his beard and said: "Yes, this is also what I am worried about. This evil obstacle really makes me unable to guess."
"Perhaps they deliberately let us go down first." Fang Lingyan said.
"Why is this?" Everyone was a little confused.
"Think about it, what is Xu Hao's banner for searching for treasure?"
"It's... Revival Tianwan!"
"So, should he inherit his grandfather's legacy?"
After Fang Lingyan said this, Zou Zheguo and other smart-minded people basically understood that they just didn't want to have a bad reputation in public from the beginning.
"Then let's not go down yet." Tie Lian said loudly after everyone understood what they were saying.
"No... we still have to go. Since this place is already public, if we don't go, they won't go either. Others will go. Gen Yue League, White Lotus Sect, and even Jimu Villa will not go. Those who give up easily have no scruples. Therefore, we not only want to go, but also set off immediately." Fang Lingyan's analysis impressed everyone.
"In my opinion, as a safe strategy, we can go in two groups, one in front and one behind them, and communicate with each other using secret codes." Li Rufeng added.
"In order to ensure the unity of action, I suggest that Master Ji Bu has the full coordination, and everyone agrees on a specific action plan, and then each prepares it. I have calculated that it is the beginning of Youshi, and we can set off at Yinshang time tomorrow morning." Xiao Yuanfu suggested arrive.
Originally, Ming Siyu wanted his sister to stay. But Ming Siquan felt that Ming Siyu should stay. After all, the tomb might not be as smooth as walking on the ground. Ming Siyu didn't know martial arts, so it would be very dangerous to go in. In the end, neither of them could convince the other and had to go together. However, Ming Siquan followed the first group of people led by Hui Zhong, while Ming Siyu followed the second group of people led by Ji Bu.
The reason why Huizhong was asked to lead the first group of people was mainly due to his full participation in the matter and his rich experience in dealing with Jianghu affairs.
Besides Ming Siyu, there were only three other people following Ji Bu: Xiao Yuanfu, Jing Yunpeng and Zou Zheguo.
