"Grandpa!"

At this time, Xu Jie came with Hongming's subordinates one after another, although the beast died, but there were many good things in it, which were collected by them. These things can be auctioned at auction houses for a high price.

Xu Dongling smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't laugh at us, Hongming Company controls dozens of teams in total, and the annual expenses are astronomical, and in order to make a living, making money is also one of our purposes." ”

"Grandpa, should we leave directly, or continue to ......" Speaking of this, Xu Jie glanced at Jiang Lai next to him, seemed to realize something, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai shrugged, "Since you have something to talk about, then I'll go first." ”

Seeing him turn around and prepare to leave, Xu Dongling hesitated for a moment, then caught up with his footsteps and said, "Mr. Jiang, please stay!"

"Mr. Xu still has something to do?"

"Mr. Jiang, in fact, there is nothing to hide from you, there is an ancient tomb hidden in this vicinity, but we haven't found the exact location yet. If Mr. Jiang is interested, why don't you join us?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lai immediately remembered what he had overheard in the passage. The three members of the Xu family did mention an ancient tomb, and that ancient tomb seemed to be closely related to the beast behind the stone gate.

Thinking of this, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask an outsider to participate in this kind of thing, right? Aren't you afraid that I will be greedy and do something that harms your interests?"

Xu Dongling smiled disapprerovitively: "As the saying goes, those who see have a share, if I can really find the treasure, I am willing to share it equally with Mr. Jiang." After a pause, he groaned for a while, and then continued, "Mr. Jiang, don't hide it, that ancient tomb is a bit dangerous, I can't afford to take the risk alone, if you accompany you, then it's safe." ”

"You are a powerhouse of the Great Immortal Realm, and an ancient tomb should not pose a threat to you. ”

"That's right, but you don't know, besides us, there are people who are peeking at that ancient tomb, and those people are considered competitors of our Hongming Company, but their behavior is more low-key, and very few people know about their existence. ”

"And this?" Jiang Lai's interest was mentioned a little, "What is the origin of the other party?"

"I don't know. Xu Dongling shook his head, "I've been secretly investigating them, but they are very deep hidden and rarely show up, so I don't have a lot of information." However, I am sure that they have a lot of money behind them, and they have at least 30 teams under their hands, and they seem to have the same goals as me. Over the years, the teams of both sides have encountered many in the field, and each meeting will cause a certain amount of casualties. ”

"A few years ago, my second son was brutally murdered in an attack on Hongming, and then I received an anonymous phone call warning me that if Hongming continued to obstruct their operations, they would remove our stumbling block. In our Xu family, my second son has the best talent, and he broke through the Little Immortal Realm before he was fifty years old, but even so, he still died tragically at the hands of the other party, which shows that the strength of that group of people is not trivial. If we really have to fight hard, our chances of winning are not good. ”

"So you want to pull me in?" Jiang Lai finally understood Xu Dongling's purpose.

"Sort of, Mr. Jiang, as long as you are willing to join forces with me, with the resources and clues I have in my hands, I believe we can still find other beasts. ”

Jiang Lai's eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at him with deep meaning, "I remember you just said that what I killed is probably the last remaining cotton beast in the world, in that case, how can you be sure that there are other cotton beasts alive?"

Xu Dongling said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, since I sincerely invite you to cooperate, then I have nothing to hide." According to the information I have obtained from the literature, each pattern represents a cotton beast. In this world, there are eight such patterns, in other words, there should be eight cotton beasts alive in the world, and you are only killing one of them. ”

"I see. Jiang Lai nodded secretly.

After pondering for a moment, he changed his words and said, "When I was in the passage before, I noticed a lot of murals, and you must have seen all the contents recorded on them, I don't know how much you know about those things?"

"Those murals are closely related to the ancient tomb we are looking for, in those murals, there are three figures, an emperor, a general, and a mysterious strong man, and the ancient tomb we are looking for is where the general is buried. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Dongling suddenly asked: "Mr. Jiang, many years ago, someone once proclaimed himself emperor in Heyang City, but the country only lasted for a short period of a few decades, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, but I haven't studied it. ”

Xu Jie on the side took over the conversation, "The emperor's name is Song Huang, according to the local legend in Heyang City, Song Huang is the leader of the rebel army, and he unveiled the uprising in order to resist tyranny, but in fact, this statement is not correct. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Lai asked with interest, "How do you know it's fake?"

"Over the years, our team has traveled far and wide, and I don't know how many hidden tombs we have explored, and in those ancient tombs, we have collected a lot of documents. In those documents, the real history is recorded. In so many materials, we found information related to Song Huang. Song Huang, he was born in the Daomen, he was extraordinary, and he led the entire Daomen force when he was in his forties. At that time, he was ambitious and led a group of Taoist masters out of the mountain, nominally an uprising to overthrow tyranny, but in fact a rebellion. ”

"Because of the assistance of Dao Sect masters, and because he himself is a top powerhouse, in just a few months, he broke through several cities, and then chose Heyang City to be the emperor. In the more than 20 years when Song Huang was the emperor, he fought every year, and the people were struggling to make a living, which posed a huge threat to the dynasty at that time. It wasn't until later, when a mysterious powerhouse appeared, that all this was stopped, and since then, Song Huang's whereabouts are unknown, and no one has seen him again. ”

"However, before Song Huang disappeared, he left one thing behind, guarded by his generals, which is the cotton beast you killed. We guessed that Song Huang must have inherited some secrets from that beast, but unfortunately they are not known now. ”

After listening to Xu Jie's narration, Jiang Lai's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes unconsciously swept towards Xu Dongling.

The latter smiled slightly, "Mr. Jiang, did you guess it too?"

Jiang Lai nodded, "Actually, you already knew, since that's the case, why are you hiding it from me?"

"Haha! It is indispensable to guard against people, and please don't be surprised by Mr. Jiang. ”
