Chapter 771 Thief of Saints

Liu Xia Zhi, Zhan Xiong?

The first thing that came to my mind was this name, because in history, Liu Xia Zhi Zhanxiong was called the Thief Saint. This person may be a little more obscure, but his brother is very famous, it is the famous Liu Xia Zhanxiong.

Hui, two brothers, one is a saint with perfect moral character, the other is a huge bandit who rose up against the princes and kings, and is known as the saint among the thieves.

However, this idea passed in a flash and was quickly overturned by me. The reason is that the thief saint Liu Xia Zhi Zhanxiong was a person from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Unless he had the ability to travel through time and space, how could he be able to steal now?

this tomb.

Besides Liu Xiatuo, I don't know who else has the reputation of being a Thief Saint.

"The Thief Saint I'm talking about is not Liu Xia Zhi Zhan Xiong, but Li Yantao, the governor of Yaozhou in the Tang Dynasty. Although the two lived in very different eras, they are not incompatible with each other. In fact, they are basically the same craftsmanship!

"

Brother Yaozi explained patiently: "Back then, Liu Xiazhi was against the princes and kings. He had a group of men who were proficient in strange and obscene skills. They dug up the ancestral graves of the princes and kings when they had nothing to do, and dug out the money from them to benefit the world. He said

Gold, pearls and jade, people's fat, people's treasure, taken from the people and returned to the people, made a group of princes and kings gnash their teeth in anger but could do nothing, just because these people came and went like the wind, hiding among the people and could not be found at all. The planers of that period

The method of digging graves was not the same as it is now. It formed its own sect and was gradually passed down. Therefore, people in this line were known as thieves. Li Yantao was the descendant of this lineage in the Tang Dynasty and even got involved in Yaozhou Jiedu.

With the status of an envoy, when the troubled times came, he simply started doing the things of his ancestors..."

Put it this way, I understand.

Li Yantao, this is also a name that sounds relatively unpopular, but he also has another name - Wen Tao!!!

If there was a ranking in the tomb robbing industry, this person would definitely be at the top of the list!

The great thief Sun Dianying of the Republic of China was nothing compared to him!

Everyone said that Cao Cao, who set up the gold-touching school captain, was a giant thief. In fact, Cao Cao was not even a junior in this industry. He really didn't do much tomb robbing. At the same time, Sun Quan from Jiangdong was better than

His robberies were much more ferocious. Poor old Cao ordered the villain, but he just took him with him and hugged him. He was splashed with a pot of dirty water as black as ink. He couldn't wash it off after thousands of years, but he was used to digging.

However, Sun Quan from the Renzu Tomb became a model of filial son and virtuous grandson, and he was evaluated as having a son as Sun Zhongmou. Comparing the two, Lao Cao would have to wake up crying in his coffin. How unjust!?

But whether it is Lao Cao, Sun Zhongmou, or Liu Quji, who we have been looking for now, these giant bandits are still nothing compared to Wen Tao!

This guy is the governor of Yaozhou, and he has the whole Guanzhong in his hand. What kind of place is Guanzhong? The emperor is buried in the loess of Shaanxi! From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, stretching for thousands of years, how many emperors and generals stayed there, falling into

In the hands of such a tomb robber, the results can be imagined. They were completely excavated. Almost all the tombs of the Li and Tang royal families were dug up. The only ones who escaped were the Qianling Mausoleums of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and the Qianling Mausoleum was not his.

He didn't want to dig, but every time he got close to Qianling, there would be lightning and thunder in the sky. This happened several times in a row. It scared him to death, so he had no choice but to give up.

If you really think about it, this guy still has a bit of a feud with our family. Many of the Tang Tombs were designed by our family at that time. Unfortunately, the thieves were powerful and arrogant at first. The emperor could only pinch his nose and tolerate it.

In the end, the fire in the nest could only be poured out on our family. I don’t know how many people were pushed to the market and had their heads chopped off. I don’t know if it was because of the ritual officials offering sacrifices to heaven and their boundless power. The emperor found himself again from our family.

When Chao got the chance, he immediately killed Wen Tao, a bitch.

This is a common occurrence throughout the history of our family. When I looked up, I saw two gods fighting in the sky. When I looked down, I saw dead ritual officials all over the ground.

Well...that's it!

Precisely because of such a dispute, when Brother Yaozi mentioned this guy, I felt a little bit disgusted with my face.

However, if Wen Tao robbed this tomb, everything would make sense.

Wen Tao not only robbed tombs, but almost all the wealthy families in Guanzhong were in his hands. The descendants of Shouchun County Lord were blackmailed and couldn't get the money, so it was completely expected that the address of Jiangxia King Li Chengyu's tomb was sold.

Brother Yao Zi naturally knew about this festival. He raised the corners of his lips, but could not laugh out loud. He patiently said to himself: "As for that golden thread, it is not a serious eight hundred gold. Have you ever seen it in the soil?"

Gold that has been buried for thousands of years and does not rust? How pure it is!

This kind of golden thread is exactly the method used by the Thieving Saints. They call it the golden anaconda. The production method has long been lost. The only thing that is certain is that it was something made by the Qi refiners of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Liu Xia Zhi originally

There was a Qi practitioner under his command during the Zhanxiong period, and this thing came from the hands of this Qi practitioner. It is said that when the Qi practitioner poured his own power into the golden anaconda, and then used the jade talisman, the golden anaconda would become like a living being.

The golden anaconda will burrow through the cracks in the surface soil. Once it comes into contact with the sealing soil, or the top of the tomb, the wall of the tomb, etc., the golden anaconda will start to tremble, and the Qi practitioners above will immediately be able to determine that there is a tomb below.

, much more powerful than the Luoyang shovel or something."

Several mercenaries were already going crazy at this time. Some tried to pull out the golden anaconda, but found that the thing was not tough and could easily be broken if brute force was used. So they began to dig the collapsed cave and tried to

Excavate a whole golden thread completely.

I turned to look at Crazy Bear, whose face was red with excitement, and asked, "So, the person behind you is actually interested in Wen Tao?"

"I don't know much about your Chinese history."

After hearing my question, Crazy Bear calmed down a little and shook his head: "I don't know what the boss's purpose is. When we received his commission, he once told us several things, saying that as long as we

If he finds these things in the tomb and brings them back, he will definitely be rewarded heavily, and this golden thread is one of them. He paid three million for this golden thread alone!"

So rich?

I was shocked by the amount. The golden anaconda may be of some value, but it is definitely not worth so much money. It only shows that this thing is very important to the family in Qinling!!

From this point of view, they probably came not for Liu Quji, but for Wen Tao, the Thief Saint!

The soil in the thief's cave was very thin. In the time it took to speak, the little white man named Bullet under Crazy Bear had already got most of his body in, leaving only one pair of legs exposed. Among them, he was the shortest in stature.

, it’s a good time to do something like this.

"Hurry up!!"

The man nicknamed Jarhead kicked Bullet's foot and cursed: "This is three million. Can you show some respect and enthusiasm that you should have when facing three million?"

None of us paid attention to the actions of these people. Most of us were immersed in the affairs of Wen Tao and the family at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, wondering if there was any conspiracy here.

When I heard Jarhead cursing, I looked back and saw that the bullet was indeed crawling motionless in the burglar's hole!

However, the soil beneath him quickly became fluffy, like dry steamed buns thrown into water, and spread extremely quickly, gradually taking on a strange bright red color!

"Step aside!!!"

Seeing this, I yelled, rushed forward, used my shoulder to push open the lid of the pot in front of the burglar's hole, grabbed the bullet's legs and pulled it out.

As a result, there was also a huge force coming from inside, and it was having a tug-of-war with me.
