Chapter 1345 - 1345 Inviting Fang Qiu to the Tomb!
The Medical Guru
âOkay.â
When he heard what the young man said, Fang Qiu nodded in satisfaction and said, âIâll give you three days, okay?â
âOkay.â
The young man immediately agreed and said, âI should be able to finish it in three days, but if I make it, are you sure you will take me to see the real Wulin and teach me?â
âI never go back on my words.â
Fang Qiu said firmly.
âOkay.â
In no time, the young man took out his phone. With meticulous attention, he took a few photos of the words written by Fang Qiu on the ground and made sure that every word in them was recorded clearly. Then he turned around and went back to the tent joyfully, ready to tackle this task. After he walked a little way, he paused, turned his head, and said, âBy the way, my name is Wu Sanqing!â
After thatâ¦
He jogged to the tent and began to study the method.
âWu Sanqing?â
Fang Qiuâs lips curved in a smile.
âHis name is quite unique.â
Wu Sanqing worked attentively on the method in the tent while Fang Qiu looked at him from outside, eagerly anticipating the result. âIt would be great if this guy could make a puppet.â
âWith the puppets, we would have more confidence in dealing with the Nirvana Organization.â
At this time.ãã
âMy friend.â
The teacher in charge came over and asked, âMay I have your name?â
âThis place is at least five kilometers from the nearest village outside. Youâre already deep in the forest, but these students seemed to be quite unprepared for such an expedition. Isnât it a little thoughtless of you to take them into the wilderness in this manner?â
Fang Qiu didnât answer but asked bluntly.
âHaha!â
The teacher laughed and said, âHonestly, Iâve been here three times. Everything around this place is quite familiar to me. Thus, I brought these students here. And we are certainly not here for a camping trip. All the students major in archaeology, and Iâm their teacher. If they want to use what they have learned after graduation, they must face situations like this alone and frequently. So, I brought them here. You can consider this trip as an internship.â
âThey are all students, but there is strength in numbers. We are safe together.â
When Fang Qiu heard his explanationâ¦
He nodded.
The teacherâs words made sense.
âAre you sure there are relics or tombs around for archaeological studies?â
Fang Qiu asked.
âIâm not sure yet.â
The teacher shook his head and said, âHowever, I have searched for a lot of information to locate this place. There is at least a 70% chance that there is an ancient tomb here.â
âWell, I wish you success.â
Fang Qiu walked off to the side.
The students had tied up the wild boar, so he immediately went up and untied the ropes that bound it. Then, he smacked the boar hard on its head and woke it up. He released his Qi power and pressed hard against it; the wild animal was instantly scared out of its wits. It abruptly turned its head and darted away frantically. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
âHey, it was not easy for us to tie it up. How could you let it go just like that? What if it comes to attack us at night?â
The teacher hurried forward and said nervously.
âIt wonât come back.â
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, âBesides, I will wait here for Wu Sanqing for three days. You will be safe during these three days.â
After he said thatâ¦
Fang Qiu walked aside and sat down cross-legged to rest.
Since he had made such a promiseâ¦
The teacher did not pursue the subject.
The other students also felt relieved.
With this mysterious master here, they didnât have to worry about any attacks from wild beasts. Anyway, once this expert took action, he could knock down all the fierce animals!
At noonâ¦
Since Fang Qiu could protect the others, the teacher in charge, together with a few students, took some pieces of equipment and went deep into the mountains to do some archaeology studies.
An hour laterâ¦
âEureka! We found it.â
Fang Qiu had been resting with his eyes closed, but the shouts of surprise woke him up.
He turned to look at them.
He sawâ¦
All the students who had gone with the teacher had come back safely. Everyoneâs faces glowed with surprise and excitement.
âWeâve found a great tomb!â
Before the teacher could say anything, a student rushed forward and said, âIt is such a big tomb! Mr. Lu was telling the truth. There is indeed a big tomb here.â
As soon as he said thatâ¦
...
All the students immediately rushed over to ask questions, one after another.
At this timeâ¦
These students loudly cheered as if they were celebrating the New Year while the teacher went straight to Fang Qiu. He extended his hand to greet Fang Qiu with a handshake, and introduced himself, âYou did not tell me your name, but it doesnât matter. My name is Lu Jinzhou. You can call me Mr. Lu, like how these students address me.â
Fang Qiu nodded but did not shake hands with him.
At this time, he scanned Lu Jinzhou from head to toe. This man was a little chubby with a square and plump face. However, he was more burly than fat. His face under his short hair was pock-marked. At first glance, Fang Qiu could tell he had bad skin.
âMaster?â
Lu Jinzhou looked at Fang Qiu and said, âMay I call you that?â
âJust tell me whatever you want to say.â
Fang Qiu answered.
âOkay.â
Lu Jinzhou immediately laughed and said, âYou heard it. I found a big tomb near a stream between two mountains ahead. But I did not dare to act rashly because I had my students with me. Besides, Iâve contacted my colleagues at the provincial institute of archaeology. They confirmed they would explore and protect the tomb on the phone. They will be here soon.â
...
âWhat does this have to do with me?â
Fang Qiu asked.
He only wanted to wait here for three days to see if Wu Sanqing could make a puppet. He didnât want to care about anything else.
âYou excel in kung fu, donât you?â
Lu Jinzhou immediately smiled and explained, âThe provincial institute of archaeology will send some people here, but almost all of them are researchers. Anyway, there are no experts among them like you. Thus, I would like to invite you to go to the tomb with us tomorrow. It will be safer for us if you are with us. You can also explore the tomb. You havenât been in a tomb before, have you?â
Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows.
He didnât expect that Lu Jinzhou would invite him to the tomb.
Howeverâ¦
Fang Qiu thought it over.
He had never visited a tomb, let alone go into one. He didnât know anything about it. However, he had watched many TV series about grave robbers. He wanted to see if these tombs were as grand and magnificent as shown in the TV series.
âIt doesnât matter. You can take your time to think about it.â
Seeing Fang Qiu hesitate, Lu Jinzhou quickly added, âIâve opened the tomb gate so that there is some airflow. Give me a reply before we set off tomorrow.â
âOkay, Iâll go to the tomb with you.â
Fang Qiu thought for a moment and nodded.
âGreat.â
Lu Jinzhou burst out laughing. With this master around, they would be safe.
That night⦠n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The provincial institute of archaeologyâs expedition team arrived.
They first met with Lu Jinzhou. Under his guidance, they rushed to the big tomb and decided to stay there for the night. But Lu Jinzhou returned.
Two staff members from the provincial institute of archaeology remained in the camp to ensure the safety of these students.
Night fell.
Lu Jinzhou went to chat with Fang Qiu.
âWeâve decided to go to the tomb tomorrow morning. The people of the research institute have come to help us, but they donât know that youâre going with us.â
Lu Jinzhou said.
âWill they spend the night guarding the tomb?â
Fang Qiu asked.
âThatâs right.â
With a nod, Lu Jinzhou smiled and said, âThey said they had to stay to guard it in case the grave robbers would sneak into it first. Also, they should be there to prevent anything from running out of the tomb.â
Fang Qiu heard that.
He was even more interested.
âIs there something that could come out from the tomb?
âWell, it seems thatâ¦
âI should go down to the tomb and have a look. I can satisfy my curiosity and protect these talents in passing.â
âWhat about Wu Sanqing?â
Fang Qiu asked, looking at Wu Sanqing, who was in the tent.
âHeâs not going.â
Lu Jinzhou shook his head and said, âThis guy wanted to stay outside to make something. Heâs not interested in the great tomb. After weâre done, he might go to see it.â
âMm.â
Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction.
It seemed that Wu Sanqing was responsible, whatever his purposes were.
Early the following dayâ¦
Just as Lu Jinzhou had said, some people in the provincial institute of archaeologyâs expedition team came at seven oâclock in the morning. There was a young man with them.
âMr. Lu, let me introduce him to you. He is Liu Qing, a martial arts practitioner with the provincial sports team. We specially called him over overnight to help.â
The leader of the expedition team said to Lu Jinzhou.
âIâve also found an expert.â
Lu Jinzhou laughed out loud and pointed at Fang Qiu.
âHum?â
The leader of the expedition team was stunned. While looking at Fang Qiu, he frowned and said, âWho is this person? He is wearing a mask. We donât even know what he looks like. If he goes in with us, he may break the artefacts inside.â
âHe is an expert in kung fu, a master.â
Next to him, several students quickly came up to explain, âIâve seen him catch a falling boulder from a cliff more than ten meters high with his bare hands. Yesterday, he knocked out a big wild boar with one hand.â
âHaha!â
As soon as the student finished speaking, Liu Qing, the martial arts practitioner in sportswear, suddenly burst out laughing and said, âYou are making up stories about him. A boulder falling from a cliff more than ten meters! It can smash a man into meat paste. How could he withstand it? And donât you know how destructive an adult wild boar can be? Knocking it unconscious with one hand? Seriously? He might be knocked out by the wild boar instead.â
While Liu Qing poured out these wordsâ¦
The other members of the expedition team from the provincial institute of archaeology also sneered and turned to look at Fang Qiu.
But to their great astonishmentâ¦
Fang Qiu had already stood up and walked toward a boulder. He grabbed it with his right hand and lifted it high with great ease. Then, he threw it effortlessly into the distance as if throwing an empty can. Ultimately, the huge stone fell heavily onto the mountain and sank halfway into the ground.
This scene was unbelievableâ¦
Members of the expedition team and the martial arts practitioner named Liu Qing stood rooted to the ground, horror and astonishment reflected on their faces!
They stared at Fang Qiu as if he were a monster.
They were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
