Chapter 155: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 37
Wu Sansheng said to Wu Xie with a serious face.
"That Warring States silk book was like a curse, causing many of my relatives to die or turn into terrible monsters."
His voice was filled with endless sorrow and regret.
These strange things happened so suddenly and so bizarrely that it is impossible to record them in detail.
After listening to Wu Sanxing's story, Wu Xie frowned, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said.
"Uncle San, I don't think this matter is that simple. Someone must have deliberately tampered with it! Otherwise, how could it become like this?"
After hearing this, Wu Sansheng's face changed and he shouted angrily.
"Xiao Xie! For all these years, what have I, your uncle, worked so hard for? Isn't it just to get you to completely leave our business, stay away from all the disturbances and intrigues, and become a clean, ordinary person!"
When he said this, Wu Sanxing became a little excited, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down a little, then hugged Wu Xie tightly in his arms and spoke earnestly.
"My child, you are the only descendant of our Wu family! Uncle San only hopes that you can live a peaceful and smooth life and not be involved in these endless disputes again."
Wu Xie heard this and retorted.
"Uncle San, I'm grown up. I can't let you take on everything. I'm not that fragile. Uncle San, believe me."
"You little brat, so what if you've grown up? You will always be a child in front of your uncle."
As Wu Sansheng spoke, he let go of Wu Xie, looked at Zhang Qiling, and asked unhappily.
"Brother Zhang, what happened between you and Yu'er? How did you go from a simple business relationship to a couple?"
Facing Wu Sanxing's questioning, Zhang Qiling remained expressionless and spoke in a cold voice.
"She likes me, and I like her too."
This simple sentence successfully suppressed Wu Sanxing's anger, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Treat her well, or Hei Xia Zi and I will fight you to the death."
"You don't stand a chance. She's fine."
As Zhang Qiling was talking, the image of Qi Yu feeding him grapes suddenly appeared in his mind. It was a beautiful scene.
Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Zhang Qiling's face.
When Fatty Wang saw Zhang Qiling's smile, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The power of love is so great that it cured the boy's facial paralysis."
Then, he looked at Wu Xie beside him and joked.
"Wu Xie, are there any singles among your classmates? Introduce some to Fatty. Fatty also wants to fall in love."
"Fatty, stop it. Now is not the time to talk about love. We are serious men."
As Wu Xie spoke, he glanced at Zhang Qiling.
Soon several cars appeared in front of everyone, and Wu Xie and Wu Sanxing got on the same car.
Zhang Qiling and Fatty Wang got into another car and went to the Seventeenth Inn.
Wu Xie followed Wu Sanxing to his private courtyard, which gave Wu Xie a new understanding of his wealth.
When his eyes swept across the dazzling array of antique fakes in the house, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel helpless and angry.
At the same time, Wu Sanxing on the side always maintained a condescending and self-righteous attitude.
Wu Xie really couldn't stand this atmosphere, so he decided to take some action to break this awkward situation.
He caught a glimpse of an exquisite Qing Dynasty teacup on the table, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: why not use this to annoy Uncle San?
Having made up his mind, Wu Xie reached out his hand without hesitation and gently picked up the teacup.
Then, he looked at Wu Sansheng with a provocative look, and when the other party was off guard, he suddenly threw the teacup to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound.
As the teacup shattered, Wu Sansheng's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
He stared at Wu Xie with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.
However, Wu Xie was not frightened by his uncle's glare. Instead, he showed a smug smile.
Wu Sansheng gave Wu Xie a somewhat angry look, then took out a bead that he had found in the ancient tomb.
He told Wu Xie that after he chopped off the monster's head in the ancient tomb, he entered the mechanism.
Inside, he found a relief of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Xuannv in the relief has a pretty face and a solemn expression, but what is most eye-catching is her pair of lively and deep eyes. Wu Sanxing thought they were two gems.
This gave him an idea, so he mustered up his courage and carefully reached out his hand, trying to pick out an eyeball from one of the statues.
However, just as he was about to dig out the other eyeball, something unexpected happened.
The eyeball that had just been removed suddenly exploded without any warning, accompanied by a loud bang and a pungent smoke rising into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a scarlet-bodied, hideous-looking corpse-bug flew out from the broken eyeball.
Wu Sansheng was terrified. Seeing the corpse-bug rushing towards him with its fangs and claws bared, he tried frantically to catch it.
But the corpse-bugs were extremely agile and flexible, rushing left and right, making them difficult to predict.
After all the trouble, Wu Sanxing still failed to get what he wanted and was left exhausted.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly critical, Wu Sansheng made a prompt decision and stopped harassing him. He turned around and ran towards the cave entrance.
When he got out of the cave, he didn't even have time to catch his breath. He hurriedly pushed the mechanism hard to close the heavy stone door tightly.
Afterwards, Wu Sanxing, still in shock, said he was lucky to have escaped death.
The red corpse-bugs are extremely poisonous and if you are not careful you could end up dying.
Later, by chance, Wu Sanxing met a traveling Taoist priest.
After hearing this, the Taoist priest told him that the seemingly ordinary eyeballs on the relief were not real stones, but a rare elixir.
The reason why Wu Xie's second grandfather suffered such a drastic change and turned into a terrible monster was because he was unfortunately poisoned by the corpse-eating bug.
After Wu Sansheng walked out of the cave, he looked at the corpses of his ancestors and felt filled with emotion.
He buried them silently, then stood up and stared into the distance.
Just then, a scream was heard from a distance.
Wu Sansheng's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that the voice came from Jie Lianhuan and Qiu Dekao.
He hurriedly ran towards the direction of the sound, praying silently in his heart that nothing would happen.
When he arrived at the scene, he was shocked by what he saw.
All they saw were Jie Lianhuan and Jude Kao standing there with horror on their faces, and some corpses were scattered around them.
Apparently, they were attacked by corpse-bugs after entering the cave, and many people were unfortunately poisoned to death.
And those ferocious corpse-bugs have now been buried by the collapsed cave and can no longer do evil.
Afterwards, Wu Sanxing couldn't help but recall the scene of forming the archaeological team back then.
At that time, Xie Lianhuan begged Wu Sanxing to help persuade Chen Wenjin to join the archaeological team and go to the underwater tomb.
However, ever since the archaeological team went out to sea, Wu Sansheng noticed that Jie Lianhuan's behavior was abnormal and he was always sneaking around.
So he began to secretly pay attention to Jie Lianhuan's every move.
Late one night, Jie Lianhuan attempted to go into the water alone while everyone was asleep.
Seeing this, Wu Sansheng followed without hesitation.
The two dived into the water and unexpectedly discovered a large number of strangely shaped corpses.
Wu Sansheng originally planned to teach Jie Lianhuan, who was deceived by Qiu Dekao, a lesson after he got ashore.
But unexpectedly, when they entered the underwater tomb, they found that there was very little oxygen left in Jie Lianhuan's oxygen cylinder.
