Chapter 463: Chapter 434 Strange Gold-Threaded Jade Clothing!_1

He Jingyu was knowledgeable, and the things he said should be credible.

"Oh, oh!" Village Chief Qi nodded repeatedly, "I will ride my bike to the county town to report this right away."

After returning home, Secretary Qi got on his bike and headed for the county town.

Qian Shikun and Sun Sihao went back to the livestock team.

He Jingyu didn’t dare go to the Peach Orchard alone, so he went home first and planned to call Qi Shuming and Qi Shugen to go with him later.

Qi Shugen was a hunter, and he had hunting guns at home. They could be useful for resisting the tomb robbers at a critical moment.

"Dad, why have you come back? Didn’t you go to the Peach Orchard?" He Tiantian had packed her things and was about to go to the livestock team.

"Oh, I came back to get some stuff," He Jingyu said. "By the way, Tiantian, you just work at the livestock team, don’t go to the mountain behind anymore."

"Why?" He Tiantian didn’t understand.

"I just saw a black bear, and I was so scared that I ran down the mountain. You’re a girl, so you better not go up there, do you hear me?" He Jingyu said sternly, hoping his daughter would remember his words.

"I remember." He Tiantian nodded. Today was a bit cold; it wouldn’t hurt to stay away from the back mountain.

When He Tiantian arrived at the livestock team, she heard Qian Shikun and Sun Sihao talking about the events of the previous night.

He Tiantian called out to the Snake King.

The Snake King was not in the Barrier Space at the moment but had gone to a cave.

The Snake King, happily soaking in the hot spring with He Tiantian’s betrothal jade pendant hanging around its neck, asked lazily, "What do you need from this great king?"

"Snake King, I heard that a robbery tunnel was discovered on the back mountain. Can you see if there are any ancient tombs inside the mountain?" He Tiantian asked in her mind, conversing with the Snake King while continuing to cut the dry grass for fodder.

The Snake King frowned, released its Divine Sense, and radiated it outwards from the cave as the center.

Oh my, a few hundred meters away, there indeed was an ancient tomb, filled with numerous gold and silver wares and exquisite jade objects for burial offerings.

This was a complete ancient tomb, well-preserved.

However, when the Snake King’s Divine Sense scanned the northwest corner, it found a long, narrow tunnel.

That tunnel clearly bore the marks of being dug out with tools; it must have been the robbery tunnel He Tiantian mentioned.

"Yes, there is an ancient tomb inside the mountain, and there is a robbery tunnel near the Peach Orchard," answered the Snake King. "Are you going to do something about this?"

He Tiantian shook her head and said, "I’d rather not. Tomb robbers risk their lives for money; I don’t dare to provoke them. You just need to ensure the safety of the villagers, we won’t interfere with the rest."

Those things weren’t hers; she didn’t care for them.

In her previous life, she had never heard of an ancient tomb in Qijia Village!

"Oh, that’s good, it saves trouble," said the Snake King. It needn’t deal with such thankless tasks anymore.

The Snake King was also startled as its Divine Sense passed over the coffin!

Inside this coffin made of gold, there was an ice crystal clear coffin, and lying inside was a man who looked lifelike, not as if he were dead, but as if he was asleep.

The man was about fifty years old, with long hair tied up high and fixed with a hairpin, wearing a bright yellow robe, and, astonishingly, covered with gold-threaded jade clothing made of pieces of jade.

From the gold-threaded jade clothing, a faint coolness emanated, mingled with rich spiritual energy.

"What’s wrong, Snake King?" Feeling the emotional fluctuations of the Snake King, He Tiantian guessed that the Snake King must have seen something special.

"Nothing!" the Snake King said, unable to wait any longer to explain to He Tiantian. The Snake King then entered the thief’s tunnel and crawled inside. It wanted to see why the gold-threaded jade clothing on that person had spiritual energy?

The gold-threaded jade clothing had an innate attraction to the Snake King.

As it crawled, it found no path ahead.

The Snake King estimated that there were still about twenty more meters to go.

These tomb robbers were also talents, always managing to find soft soil to dig their tunnels. The Snake King followed the direction of the tunnel, crawling towards the ancient tomb.

Once inside, the Snake King drew a barrier and moved forward slowly! Finally, it arrived next to the golden coffin.

"Gurgle gurgle meow······" He Tiantian was anxious, continually calling for the Snake King, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t reach it.

The connection between her and the Snake King was as if it had been severed.

He Tiantian, anxious, finished what she was doing and ran to the cave on the back mountain.

The Snake King was indeed not in the cave.

It must have found something in the ancient tomb that was beneficial to it. The Snake King had gone to the ancient tomb.

He Tiantian searched around for the thief’s tunnel; she passed by the tunnel several times without noticing it, feeling utterly dejected.

"Tiantian, didn’t I tell you not to come to the back mountain?" He Jingyu scolded his daughter upon seeing her.

He Tiantian, preoccupied with finding the Snake King, had completely forgotten her father’s words.

"I heard from Uncle Qian and the others that there are tomb robbers around here. I was worried about you all, so I came to check," He Tiantian explained. "Dad, let’s go back! We shouldn’t stay here."

"What is there to be afraid of in broad daylight?" He Jingyu said. "Your Uncle Shuming and Great Uncle Shugen are here, don’t worry! Hurry back and stop wandering around the mountain."

"Alright then." Seeing that her father was angry, He Tiantian dared not talk back and had no choice but to carry her bamboo basket down the mountain.

Underneath the peach trees, cabbages were planted. Seeing his daughter leave, He Jingyu didn’t idle either, cutting some withered grass to cover the cabbages.

"Who’s there?" Qi Shugen squinted his eyes and saw figures moving in the distance; after speaking, he lifted his hunting gun and aimed it.

He Jingyu and Qi Shuming stood next to Qi Shugen with sickles in hand.

"Shugen, it’s me." From a distance, the person shouted loudly, "It’s Sanchuan from Hujia Village."

Seeing that it was someone from Hujia Village, Qi Shugen relaxed slightly and asked, "Why are you wandering around our village’s back mountain instead of your own village back there?"

"Hehe, I was chasing a rabbit, and before I knew it, I ended up here," Hu Sanchuan said with a hearty laugh, a hunter from Hujia Village.

"Oh," Qi Shugen acknowledged. "Then you better head back quickly, in case someone sees you and thinks you’re here to damage our peach orchard."

Hu Sanchuan gave a forthright smile and said, "Alright, alright, I’ll leave now."

As Hu Sanchuan called his hunting dog and walked back, the smile on his face disappeared as soon as he turned around, replaced by a somber expression.

Qi Shugen wasn’t hunting, but he had brought a hunting gun to the mountain; he must have noticed something.

He needed to hurry back and tell the boss that their whereabouts seemed to have been exposed. If only they had killed those two people last night.

Hu Sanchuan reached the depths of the dense forest, found a cave, and several people were inside. These people had a particular scent on them; those who often entered graveyards would carry such a scent.

"Boss, Boss, we seem to have been exposed," Hu Sanchuan said. "Just now, I saw three people guarding the peach orchard in Qijia Village, and there was a hunter with a gun."

"Three people?" the gaunt man replied in a high-pitched, thin voice, like a big rat in the darkness, with a pointed face.

"Yes, boss, their position is directly opposite our tunnel. If we go now, we’ll be discovered immediately," Hu Sanchuan said. "Boss, what do we do now?"
