Chapter 627 - 627: Sheepskin Scroll
"Silly girl, don't be sad, this leg of your godfather's probably won't heal in this lifetime!"The Dragon King reached out with his rugged hand, gently wiped Bai Weiwei's eyes, and said with a smile.
The more the Dragon King said this, the more guilty Bai Weiwei felt, her eyes turning redder and redder, "Godfather, your daughter swears, she will definitely make your legs better!"
"Mm, godfather believes you!" The Dragon King smiled and comforted Bai Weiwei.
Then, the Dragon King laughed and looked at Lin Fan, "Isn't my goddaughter great?"
"She's good, just a little short-tempered!" Lin Fan commented.
"Hey! You jerk, who are you calling short-tempered?" Bai Weiwei glared angrily at Lin Fan, shouting.
"Alright, alright! You're not short-tempered, okay? Gentle, elegant, and unique!" Lin Fan said helplessly.
"Who said I'm gentle, this lady is not gentle, gentle my foot!" Bai Weiwei retorted again to Lin Fan.
At this, Lin Fan was rendered speechless, whether he said she was short-tempered or not, women really are a strange bunch!
Meanwhile, the Dragon King and Ye Shouxin watched the two bickering back and forth with a meaningful smile on their faces, then the two old fellows silently exchanged a glance, full of a mysterious vibe!
Subsequently, Lin Fan returned to the main topic, asking the Dragon King, "So tell me, what's the deal with this ancient tomb?"
Speaking of serious matters, the Dragon King became much more solemn, "The origin of this tomb is unknown, it suddenly emerged after a landslide, just in time to be discovered by a group of grave robbers who beat us to it and infiltrated it first, stealing quite a bit of treasure."
"With your capabilities, don't you know what kind of tomb it is? If it were just an ordinary tomb, there wouldn't be any treasure." Lin Fan pondered.
"We haven't investigated thoroughly yet, because these past few days there have been continuous heavy rains in the Northeast, causing another landslide, and the tomb has been buried again, making it not easy to excavate it anew," the Dragon King explained.
"Northeast? Are you saying the tomb is in the Northeast?" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, why?" The Dragon King asked curiously.
"Throughout history, the Northeast has not produced any famous tombs since it's far from the imperial capital of each dynasty and due to the cold weather, many emperors would have themselves buried in the southern geomantic areas, making the chances of a famous tomb appearing in the Northeast quite slim." Lin Fan analyzed.
This time, the Dragon King pondered for a while, not speaking immediately.
Instead, Ye Shouxin took a sip of hot tea and said, "It's not impossible. Precisely because there are so few tombs there, someone might have chosen to deceive others and bury the tomb there."
"Don't forget, the Northeast is close to Mongolia, and back in the day, Genghis Khan led his armies to conquer all of Asia and even Europe. After his death, no one knows where he is buried!"
Ye Shouxin's words were astonishing, causing Lin Fan and the Dragon King to fall silent.
Compared with the currently developing Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, more people are interested in Genghis Khan's tomb because of its mystery!
This great figure once created the largest territory in Huaxia, a lifetime of military exploits, establishing countless great feats, and is one of the Huaxian ancients admired even by foreigners!
Seeing Lin Fan and the Dragon King not speaking, Ye Shouxin continued, "Although the possibility is not high, I think it may be related to Genghis Khan."
"Looks like this trip to the Northeast is necessary!" Lin Fan said after contemplating for a while.
Got to say, Lin Fan's interest was piqued!
Even if the object of his quest wasn't there, he still had to go check it out!
Then, the Dragon King continued, "After the grave robbers looted the tomb, they went to a black market and held an auction to sell these things. We heard there's a mysterious parchment scroll being auctioned."
"A parchment scroll?" Lin Fan asked, intrigued.
"That's right, a parchment scroll. It's said that many foreign merchants rushed to the Northeast for this scroll, but we haven't seen it yet, and can't verify what it actually is." The Dragon King spoke seriously.
"Could it be the location of a tomb? Or some kind of secret recorded on it?"
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then immediately got up and went aside, took out his phone, and dialed a number stored in his mind, it was to the old man Lin Kongxian.
The old man has lived for over a hundred years, surely he knows more than I do!
Beep, beep, beep~
After three rings, the call was answered, and a voice came from the other side: Self-drawn, bonus round, pay up!
Whoa~
Overwhelmed with surprise, the crowd expressed their astonishment!
Hearing this voice, Lin Fan was drenched in sweat, as a Sect Leader, instead of staying busy with sect matters, often sneaks down the mountain to play mahjong, Lin Fan was speechless!
After a while, Lin Kongxian's voice came through, "Boy, what do you want calling this old man?"
"Of course, it's something important." Lin Fan replied with a smile.
"Speak up, don't dawdle." Lin Kongxian scolded, as the sound of mahjong tiles being shuffled came from the other side.
"An ancient tomb has appeared in the Northeast!" Lin Fan stated directly.
Click~
The sound from the other side suddenly stopped!
Seeing this, Lin Fan's facial expression instantly became three degrees more serious, apparently, the old man was quite knowledgeable about this tomb!
"Kid, are you serious?"
At this moment, a deep, powerful voice came through from the other side, Lin Fan recognized it as his Second Junior Uncle Lin Badao's voice.
"Second Uncle, do you know this tomb?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Damn it, your master and I searched for so many years and couldn't find it, yet now it shows up in the Northeast, damn it, we were only focused on looking in the south before and ignored the Northeast! You got to admire the intelligence of the Supreme Ancestor, knowing the Northeast was the most easily overlooked, so it was buried there."
Lin Badao's excited laughter came through!
"Wait! Second Uncle? What did you say? Supreme Ancestor?" Lin Fan's eyes widened in surprise, his face full of shock!
"That's right! It's the Supreme Ancestor, the founding ancestor of our sect." Lin Badao explained.
"Holy crap! What a coincidence? It's actually the tomb of the elder!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.
"Kid, hurry to the Northeast to find this tomb, and figure out a way to get inside, you'll find what you want in there," Lin Badao said loudly.
However, compared to Lin Badao's excitement, Lin Kongxian was much calmer, realizing that Lin Fan's call was no trivial matter, he asked, "Why did you suddenly call about this fellow?"
"Old man, the tomb's been robbed, and lots of stuff inside must have been stolen!" Lin Fan stated truthfully.
"What about the parchment scroll? Has it surfaced?"
Lin Kongxian's voice suddenly became rushed and somewhat anxious!
