Chapter 72: Focus on the overall situation
Longzhou, Mangshan, the Great Tomb

As the saying goes: Born in Longdu, buried in Mangshan.

Only the truly wealthy and powerful are qualified to be buried in Mangshan.

Later, when the dynasty was overthrown, Emperor Hao sent out tomb raiders to dig up Mang Mountain in order to raise military pay and reward the army. Oh, no, to cut off the dragon vein.

After the tomb was dug up, these tomb raiders were renamed grave keepers. They rebuilt the large tomb and were responsible for suppressing the remains of Emperor Wu.

As the chief gravekeeper of the Longzhou division, Elder Jing is now sitting in the center of the big tomb, looking intently at the [Longzhou Fengshui Map] with a frown on his face, looking worried.

"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect has received assistance from a master of the Yuanshen Sect?"

"Is this the reason why the Ghost King escaped the detection of the geomancy map?"

"If the geomancy map fails to work, the demons and monsters in this world will become even more unscrupulous."

This geomancy map is not an ordinary map, but a secret treasure tailored by the Sitianjian for grave keepers. It can sense the changes in the fortune of mountains and rivers, especially the changes in the fortune of ghosts, so that grave keepers can easily encircle and suppress demons and ghosts.

Because the imperial court is not afraid of masters, but is afraid of masters fighting guerrilla warfare.

There was once a demonic force called the Poison Dragon Cult. Their methods were extremely despicable. They did not engage in direct conflict with the court's masters, but instead slaughtered county magistrates, county assistants, runners and other middle and lower-level officials along the way.

This unscrupulous, random killing tactic caused serious damage to the court's ruling order and caused chaos in the southeast.

Finally the imperial court had no choice but to unite with the righteous forces, sending out more than a dozen Yuanshen-level masters at once, locking souls for thousands of miles and encircling and suppressing the rebels of the Poison Dragon Cult, and only then were they able to kill all of them.

From then on, the imperial court spent huge amounts of money to create geomancy maps and observe the movements of experts through the art of observing qi.

Now that the feng shui map is no longer working, Elder Jing is naturally very worried.

"Elder, Yanluo sent a letter using the mechanical bird, and it was marked as urgent."

Elder Jing turned around suddenly and shouted:

"Bring the letter here."

Elder Jing opened the letter, read it carefully, and immediately became furious:
"What a great Chu Wujiang."

"As the head of the Chu family, he actually disregards the overall situation!"

"Doesn't he know that after the remains of the Martial Emperor are seized, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect will be able to summon a clone of the Ghost Emperor. Even if it is only a part of him, it will be enough to rival a powerful God!"

"Why can't the Chu family understand the overall situation like the Ji family?"

"The Ji family has blocked countless attacks in Shengzhou alone without any complaints."

"The world is ruined by these bastards who are unwilling to sacrifice for the greater good."

"I have already given him a guard, but he is still not satisfied and wants something auspicious. How shameless!"

Elder Jing became angrier and angrier the more he looked at it, and was about to start cursing.

The messenger lowered his head and waited for a long time, until Elder Jing stopped scolding, then he whispered:

"Elder, there is news coming from Dragon City."

"Yes, yes..."

Elder Jing waved his hand impatiently:
"Qing Teng, just say what you want to say, don't hide it."

The messenger Qing Teng then said cautiously:

"The Chu family sent us intelligence saying that the production of spiritual rice has plummeted in recent years. The amount of spiritual rice and elixirs sent to Mangshan this year will decrease by more than 70%."

"Master Chu will wait until next year's harvest and send it over."

"Bastard thing!"

Elder Jing was furious. This was a naked threat. If you don’t work for me, I will not only impeach you, but also temporarily suspend the agreement and stop the supply of resources.

The grave keepers are the army, and the Chu family is responsible for providing food and fodder, and now the food and fodder are very unhappy.

Originally, the gravekeeper didn't care too much about the life or death of the Chu family.

If the Marquis of Jingping Mansion or the Marquis of Zhenhai Mansion succeed in devouring the Chu family, they will have to continue to provide food and fodder.

As a result, the Chu family joined forces with the Jingping Marquis' Mansion and seemed to care less about the gravekeeper.

"Elder, what should we do?"

Elder Jing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"The Ghost Festival is approaching, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect will definitely make a big move. We have to put the overall situation first and can only endure it."

"We also dug up a lot of ancient tombs some time ago. He wanted auspicious items, so we gave him some."

"Oh, right, don't give him good fortune, good luck, or good fortune. Pick some more secret treasures of bad luck for him!"

Elder Jing also had a bad temper. After being beaten up by Chu Wujiang, he also wanted to teach him a lesson.

The gravekeepers have never forgotten their part-time jobs. In the name of destroying the Wangui Sect, they dig graves everywhere, and these antique treasures count as their extra income.

Although they nominally have a noble mission, in fact they live a very comfortable life. Chu Wujiang also knows this, which is why he asked the gravekeeper for the treasure.

The messenger Qing Teng was a little worried:

"Elder, the Ghostly Treasure can easily attract ghosts. Will it cause an accident to the head of the Chu family?"

There are all kinds of luck in the world, good and bad.

Ghost luck can be good or bad.

People with this kind of luck will have stronger spirits and souls, but they will also be more likely to attract ghosts and even misfortune.

Elder Jing said disdainfully:

"What are you afraid of? With Yanluo here, she can handle any ghosts that the secret treasure can attract."

"Scare that bastard, and he'll know the value of a gravekeeper."

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief and quickly complimented:

"The elder is wise!"

Elder Jing pondered for a moment and said:

"Also, you should ask Yanluo to work harder. You can also use the honey trap."

"If she can get pregnant with Chu Wujiang's child, the foundation of the gravekeeper will be secure."

Elder, the saint will not agree.

The gravekeepers already have a strong enough military force, and it would obviously be very dangerous if they were to be self-sufficient in resources.

Qing Teng opened his mouth and finally said:
"The elder is wise!"

After Elder Jing arranged a way to teach Chu Wujiang a lesson, he said with satisfaction:

"If you're alright, go down."

The messenger Qing Teng quickly spoke:
"There is one more thing. The orphan of the Ji family is seeking help and wants to see the elder."

Elder Jing's face twitched and he said:

“Focus on the overall situation.”

"Tell her not to bring shame to the Ji family."

Qing Teng was startled and asked quickly:

"But the Ji family's inheritance in Shengzhou was divided up by other families. Didn't the elder say..."

Elder Jing changed his expression and said:
"The Ji family used to be willing to sacrifice for the greater good. Now that Shengzhou has finally stabilized, she wants to rebuild the family, which will cause a lot of trouble."

"Tell her that the gravekeeper is willing to protect her safety, but he can't help her revive the Ji family."

The messenger felt a chill in his heart, and he understood.

The Chu family has the power to stir up trouble and is valuable, so the gravekeeper will take his feelings into consideration. Even if he asks for something auspicious, he can only meet his request given that he has been in the wrong recently.

As for the Ji family, they are all finished. I don’t really know who they are.

"And order everyone to be on high alert. This Ghost Festival is very special."

"The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect released a ghost king as bait. The disaster will be greater than we imagined."

"Yes, elder."

Elder Jing understood Qing Teng's dismay. After he left, he couldn't help but close his eyes:

[This is also to stop the Ghost Emperor from coming. We must use all our strength on this.]

[Emperor Wu is resurrected, and the others still have a chance to survive, but the gravekeepers will be killed completely.]

【This is the fate of betrayers. 】

The former tomb raiders were the nobles of the Longmai Dynasty. They betrayed Emperor Wu at the critical moment and obeyed Emperor Hao's orders, and they were doomed to have no turning back.

Once the Ghost Emperor is resurrected, others can surrender, but the gravekeepers will have no future.

……

Just when the gravekeepers were on high alert, Chu Wujiang received another piece of bad news.

"Mr. Mingyu of Baojianzhai is dead?"

Shopkeeper Chen said quickly:
"Yes, my lord."

"News came from Fengyu Tower that the host saw something filthy and was frightened to death."

He also promised me ten auspicious items!
How could he die?
Even if you are going to die, you have to return the things first.
