C497 Mausoleum Keeper(part Ii)

Although these words were spoken with vigor, the inexplicable Lin Bai, Liao Luoyun, and Fu Chengguang could not help but want to laugh. Just because the words that came out of the forest were spoken in Shaanxi veritable language, saying 'eh' one at a time, making people think that it was the same as two years ago where a certain popular tavern in the north and south was in trouble?!

After a series of rustling sounds, a light suddenly lit up in the forest far away. A fat man walked out from the light. His body was covered with fat, and the sight of it made him extremely happy. If there was a film director present, he would definitely make this guy the king of the new generation of comedies. Just his face alone made the audience laugh!

"I've already let all of you go, and warned you to not enter the Emperor's Tomb. Why do you still insist on coming here even if you have to die?!" The middle-aged fatty swept his gaze over Lin Bai and the others as he reprimanded them harshly.

Hearing this, Lin Bai and the rest were confused. The three of them finally got out of the Eight Trigrams Assimilation Formation. Why did this middle-aged fatty say that they had been here before?!

"You are the Mausoleum of Emperor's guardian?" Looking at the middle-aged man's appearance, Lin Bai thought for a moment before cupping his fists towards him and saying in a warm voice, "Junior and the others were previously trapped on the mountain and just accidentally walked to this place after escaping from their predicament. I really do not understand what senior is talking about."

"That's right. I am the 60th generation guardian of His Majesty the First Emperor!" When the fat middle-aged man heard Lin Bai's words, he couldn't help but reveal a haughty expression. He stuck out his chest and put on a dignified appearance, but unfortunately, his figure was too plump and did not look majestic. On the contrary, it was somewhat funny.

In fact, the so-called mausoleum watchers were people who would help others protect the mausoleum. Usually, the royal family would assign some trusted family members with good skills to arrange an imperial decree for their descendants to guard the tomb for them, so that their tomb would not be harmed by the tomb robbers!

According to what Lin Bai knew, in China, the two places, Changling and Dingling, which were already open to the outside world, also had people who guarded the mausoleum. But today, they had already been recruited by the government. After the night visitors had dispersed, they were all dressed in uniforms and armed. They were stationed in the depths of the mountains, guarding the safety of the Ancient Emperor's mausoleum.

In fact, it could be said that the existence of the Mausoleum Protector was the best embodiment of the Chinese tradition with the word 'righteousness'. It was just an imperial edict, but regardless of how many years the dynasty was flourishing, regardless of what major events had occurred, the descendants of these mausoleum watchers would all guard the vicinity of the Royal Tomb, for generations to come, until they die!

"Is this really your first time at Lishan?" After the fat middle-aged man finished listening to what Lin Bai had to say, he narrowed his eyes that were not really big and began scanning their faces. It was as if he was trying to find some clues!

Seeing the situation, Liao Man Yun hurriedly said, "We are a group of donkeys who like to explore. After we climbed up the mountain in the afternoon, something happened to the team. We had been wandering around in the mountains the entire time and only now did we find a way out!"

"Save us, take us back to where we live, and send us down the mountain tomorrow!" Seeing this, Fu Chengguang urgently asked for help while looking at the fat middle-aged man: "It's best if you get us something to eat. After we go down the mountain tomorrow, I'll give you a cheque; no matter how many numbers you write on it, you can exchange it at the bank!"

"Eating, sending you down the mountain is no problem at all!" He looked at Fu Chengguang and said, "You are such a coward. I, the emperor, am personally ordered by the mausoleum guard, and I am still greedy for your small amount of money. If I were in need of money, then those grave robbers who have been going up the mountain these past few years would have brought ten thousand taels of gold into our house already!"

Lin Bai could not help but shake his head and smile wryly. What Fatty said was indeed true. The Tomb of the First Emperor was planned by Prime Minister Reese and built by General Zhang Han. It took thirty-eight years, and even Egypt's most famous pyramid was not as old as it was!

In "Records of the History", it was written that the First Emperor ascended the throne at the beginning, pierced the mountain, and conquered the entire world. In this world, over seven hundred thousand people had been granted the skills to pass through the Three Springs and go through the Three Springs. He made crossbows and arrows, shooting at anyone who was near. With mercury as the Bai Chuan River, the sea, the machine instill, astronomy, geography. With the man fish paste as a candle, the indestructible will last for a long time.

Emperor Qin Shi was the first emperor of China to complete the unification, and after sweeping across the six nations, he had even plundered all the savings of the six nations' many years.

The ones who were most familiar with the Emperor's Tomb were not the so-called archaeologists or experienced tomb robbers, but rather the mausoleum watchers who had existed for a thousand years. With such conditions in hand, how could those tomb robbers covet the Emperor's mausoleum not flock here like Fatty had said? In their hands were large amounts of cheques as they begged to give them directions.

This middle-aged fatty had the same personality as him; he was a straightforward person. After hearing Lin Bai and the rest's conversation, he didn't make things difficult for them and led them back to his residence.

It was different from what Lin Bai and the others imagined. The house that the Mausoleum Guard lived in was neither a courtyard nor a square, but rather a simple thatched cottage. Other than the usual daily necessities, there were no other decorations.

"Your emperor left you with such a big mission, so why didn't he leave any more money for you juniors so that you could live a better life?" Fu Chengguang teased Fatty after entering the thatched cottage.

Lin Bai glared at him when he heard this, then looked at the fatty and said, "Senior, I am truly sorry! "This kid is spoiled too much at home. Don't take his words to heart!"

"If I were to be angered by just a few words from this kid, I would have died from anger long ago!" Fatty grabbed a handful of straw from the ground and stuffed it into a nearby earth stove. He then lit up a fire and said with a smile, "I'm not here to look at the park. I don't know when I'll die, so all those decorations are useless here!" "In addition, we've all been used to it over the years!

Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of veneration. He had inherited the will of a thousand years, and silently protected the Royal Tomb. He didn't need a single needle and thread, and was calm and composed. Just his grandeur alone far surpassed countless people in the world!

"There's nothing to entertain our guests at home, please order some coarse tea and light rice!" After the middle-aged man burned up the fire, he turned his head to look at Lin Bai and the rest and said with an extremely innocent smile.

The middle-aged man said that it was a simple meal, but the truth was that Lin Bai and the rest could tell that this was probably the highest quality food that he could use to entertain his guests. Steamed eggs with Chinese toon, fried chicken with cold wood, and a bottle of old wine he had fished out from under the cabinet. The people of the mountain were like this. The mind was pure and good. If one wasn't an enemy, then they were friends. Friends had to have ten percent of their heart's effort.

"These things are all produced inside Mount Li. If you want to eat them, you probably won't be able to do so even if you want to. You guys came at the right time, and I went to the southern foot of the mountain yesterday to pick these toon sprouts!" If we were to arrive two days later, then the bud would grow into a leaf and we would not be able to eat it! " After the fatty poured each of them a cup of wine, he said with a smile.

Moreover, this fatty was a true person who did not reveal his identity. He actually had a good culinary skill, even a young master like Fu Chengguang, who was used to eating the delicacies of mountains and seas, had never stopped eating.

"This cooking skill is really amazing. If I had a restaurant outside, I would definitely eat there every day!" After Fu Chengguang finished off the three steamed buns, he patted his stomach and said with a face full of anticipation, "How about you follow me down the mountain. I'll pay.

"This is not a bad thing for a kid like you to say that!" Fatty heard this and laughed out loud. Then, he shook his head and said, "But no matter what, I won't open that restaurant! "It's good to be at Lishan. You don't have to worry about food or drinks, and you don't have too much to worry about!"

"Brother Fatty, you said you spared a bunch of people earlier, what do you mean by that?" He had wanted to ask this question when he saw Fatty, but he was afraid that Fatty might suspect that they were tomb robbers. Thus, he could only ask this question after three rounds of drinking.

The fat guy reached out to fill the bottles for the three of them, wiped his mouth carelessly and said blandly, "Before you three came, I drove an old guy to the woods where you three came from! He had gotten used to it now and then! Just now, I treated you and that old thing as one, brother don't be angry! "

"Is that person in his sixties or seventies with a medium build?" Lin Bai's eyes twitched as he heard this. He looked at Fatty and said, "I won't hide this from you, Brother Fatty. That person has some conflicts with these brothers. We came up the mountain to look for him!"

"This is going to get out of hand. Brother, if I knew about this earlier, I would have left that melon peel for you!" The fatty slapped his forehead and said.

Lin Bai waved his hand and whispered, "Brother Fatty, why is that person looking for you?"

"You can't tell me that. The secret left behind by the Old Ancestor must be brought to the grave. Don't blame Brother Fatty!" The fat man waved his hands and continued mysteriously, "That old pumpkin is nothing good. He won't be alive for long!"

Lin Bai's head was filled with fog, he had no idea what this meant. Just as he was about to ask again, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake, and waves of rumbling sounds came from deep within the mountain!
