Chapter 608: Help! Help!


    No problem! I will help you!After thinking about the arrogant faces of the two strangersst night, I felt so angry that my teethitched.


    Althoughthose hunters were stronger than ordinary people, they didnt know much about our profession. If we didnt help them, they would be harmed. More importantly, they were the locals here. Building a good rtionship with them would facilitate us in searching for the Undead Grass.


    Baji looked excited when I agreed to help him. He blurted something with his fellows. Then, everybodys attitude toward me was much better. Baji, tell them theresno need to be so polite and distant.


    We returned to our campsite to pullSenior Shuout of the pit. I then toldhimmy idea, which he supported.


    He gasped for his breathand cursed, When we get those two, we will have to teach them well. Its not good to dig upthe graves of other peoplesancestors!


    He took a big biteofthe roast pig thigh. He then turned and asked Baji, Brother, do youhaveany garlic? Please give me a clove


    At night,Senior Shuand I waited in the tent. The ck and white freaks looked tough to deal with. I asked Baji and his team to go home since theywould be ofno helpeven if they decided to stay.


    Senior Shu, arent we going toenragethe spirits on the mountain if we take action?AsI started to think about the missing case of the entire Kuomintang regiment, my heart raced.


    Senior Shushook his head. Dont worry, were helping the locals. Their ancestors here wont trouble us, saidSenior Shuwitha smile.


    I had also thought about this. I exhaled in relief.


    Anyway,although I hadprickedmy ears the whole night, I didnt hear anything. It was a quiet night. The fox didnt cry.


    Did they alreadyrunaway? Imumbled.


    Baji had told me that the two robbers didnt dig the graves every day.They would disappear for a whilebefore showingup tomit anotherrobbery. As they had done their job yesterday, it would be in vain forSenior Shuand me to wait the whole night.


    Senior Shuthought then took me to Bajis grandmothers tomb to take another look.He kneeled,pinchedsome mud,andsniffedit.


    They will take action again,saidSenior Shuwith a smile.


    Howdoyou know that? I was skeptical.


    Senior Shupointed at the graveandexined, Thegeomancyin this ce is just average, and there isnt much prosperous energy.This means that there werent many grave goods here. The tomb robbers want to be rich.Sincetheyhavent foundenoughtreasures yet, they wontstop.


    Prosperous energy? It was the first time I had heard this term.


    Senior Shusmiled.Prosperous energy is also called good energy. Its some sort of gas emitted by the grave goods.Tomb robberscancheckthe amount of prosperous energy to guess if the tombhastreasures. Once the prosperous energy is produced, it canst for a while. It wont disappearimmediately afterthe robbershavetakenthe goods away.


    Those two fellows lookedprofessional. How could theyhave missedit?


    EvenSenior Shuknew about this prosperous energy thing, so it wasstrangethat the real robbers didnt know about it!


    Senior Shufrowned. Idontknow what they are doing or what they want to do. We will have to wait and see.


    We returned to the campsite and removed our tentsto showthat we were leaving. When we arrived in Tengchong County, I called Bajiand toldhim about the situationst night.


    Baji was a hot-tempered person. You cant leave like that!


    I answered,Dont worry. We left because we wanted to show those guysthat wewere no longer there. You shouldcontinueyour patrol shifts and pretend as though you are waiting to capture the robbers.However,you shouldnt engage in a fight with them.Do youunderstandmy meaning?


    From the situationst night, I feltthatthe two freaks wereonlywary of me andSenior Shu. Baji and his hunters had beenchasingthem for days, but noonegot hurt. It meant the tomb robbers didnt want to harm them for some reason.


    It was good thatwecould use the hunters to distract them!


    Anyway, Horse Saddle Mountain wasnt far from the town. Incase ofemergency, wecould inviteaspirit to carry us over there. We would reach the ce withina few minutes.Senior Shuand I werent that worried. We looked around to find a hotel to rest in.


    However, a few days had passed andI hadnt received Bajis call.I decided to call him.


    The mountain has been quiet these days,he answered.


    After hanging up the call, I couldnt help but curse.


    Senior Shuwore a calm face. Dont be dispirited.Im sure theyll be back.


    When he said that, Ifelt relieved. Istarted my preparations and alsocalled Yin Xinyue. She told me thatbusiness atmy antique shop had been mediocre these days. She decided to close the shop for now. Li Mazi was recoveringwes he was taking the medicines prescribed bySenior Shu.


    The stone pressing on my heart finally fell off as I knew Li Mazi was fine. I started to chat with Yin Xinyue.


    Hubby, after this case, can youtakesome time to visit my parents? asked Yin Xinyue.


    I nowrealized that I had never visited my mysterious inws.


    Im sorry, honey. Of course, I will make time after this case.


    AsHorse Saddle Mountain had been quiet these days, I wasnt tense anymore. When night came, I went to bed early. At around midnight, I was awoken bymyringtone.


    Drowsily, I nced at the phone. It was a call from Baji! I pulled myself togetherand receivedthe call.Did the two freaks appear?


    Help Come save usHurryBajis voice was feeble. Although he couldnt speak fast, he sounded panicked. As soon as I was about to ask him what happened, the call was hung up.


    I didnt dare to linger. I put on more clothes and took my bagbefore goingtoSenior Shus room. Unexpectedly, the old manwasalready prepared.


    He winked at me. Then, in a gravevoice, he said,Grandson,wasI right?


    You still have the mood toshow off? If we linger here, Baji and his hunters will befinished!


    I didnt have time to talk nonsense withSenior Shu. I pulled him downstairs and quickly read the spell to beckonaspirit. We wanted to rush to Mount Horse Saddle as soon as possible.


    I thought we would go there directly. However, when we reached the middle of the mountain nk,Senior Shushooed away the ghost that had carried us there. Before I could ask him, I saw his stern face. He pointed inthe direction ahead of us.


    I lifted my head to see. The peak of the mountain was shrouded by red fog. I could hear some people screaming in pain there. I guessed it was Bajis teamas other people wouldnt go to this mountain at night.


    Senior Shforted me.Then, heused the Yang Concealing Talismans to concealour Yang energy. With the Holy Mother Scepter in hand, he took the lead and dashed to the mountain peak.


    Looking at his anxious gait, I knew he must have seen something. I didnt askand followedcloselybehind him.


    When we were close to the peak, we heard Baji and the others screamingand screeching. From the source of the sound, they seemed to be at the ceSenior Shuand I had camped before. Worrying that we would be busted, I crouched and moved forward. When we came near, we finally saw the two freaks!


    They stood on bothsidesof the trap Bajis team had dug before. Baji and his people were lining up and jumping into the trap one after another. When a man jumped into the pit, he would scream horribly


    After everybody had jumped into the pit, the freak wearing white clothes lifted his head to see the bright moon and roared. One more time, I heard the fox cry.


    Finally, I knew it was him who had madethestrange sound. I clenched my fists and continued to watch. After the freak in white roared and cried for a while, he exchanged looks with the freak in ck. Then, they grabbed the shovels andstarted to fillthe pit!
