Chapter 1672 - 1672: Bodhidharma's Personal Legacy, Power of Dragon Elephant
Ye Qing originally thought saying this would upset the fatty, but unexpectedly, Handsome Fatty Wang immediately laughed upon hearing it."You should have said earlier." Handsome Fatty Wang jumped off the bed, looked at Ye Qing and said, "Come on, tell me, what's up? Did you find a valuable great tomb? We can partner up, but let's make it clear. Whatever we find in the tomb, we split fifty-fifty. I've already given you a good deal, with others it's seventy-thirty!"
"What are you thinking?" Ye Qing glared at Handsome Fatty Wang and said, "Who asked you to go tomb-robbing?"
"Damn, if not tomb-robbing, what are you here to see the Fat Lord for?" Handsome Fatty Wang also widened his eyes and said, "The Fat Lord only knows how to rob tombs, if you're not here for that, what are you planning?"
Ye Qing said, "I'm asking you to help dig a tunnel, that's your expertise, isn't it? Do I have to ask you to rob tombs?"
"Dig a tunnel?" Handsome Fatty Wang was taken aback and said, "Why suddenly dig a tunnel? What's your plan, kid?"
"Don't worry about that, just say if you'll help or not." Ye Qing said.
"No help!" Handsome Fatty Wang replied bluntly.
"Why?" Ye Qing was puzzled, he hadn't even explained what it was for, and he already refused?
Handsome Fatty Wang lay back on the bed and said, "Nonsense, didn't the Fat Lord say earlier, don't come to me for laborious work. I'm not a laborer, why should I dig a tunnel for you?"
"How is this hard labor?" Ye Qing said, "Just ask you to plan it out, the actual digging needs to be done by others. If you're the only one digging, when will we ever finish?"
"Still no." Handsome Fatty Wang's answer was still blunt, "Planning such things also consumes brainpower. No money involved, and you expect the Fat Lord to do the work, who do you think I am, a servant?"
Ye Qing was speechless, it was clear this fatso just wanted money. Seeing Handsome Fatty Wang's carefree look, Ye Qing really felt like giving him a kick in the face.
"Fine, you won't help!" Ye Qing suddenly changed his tone, slowly walked to the door, and said, "If you don't want to help, then next time Corpse Ghost Dragon comes, I'll lead him here, and you can have a nice chat with him yourself."
"Hey hey hey..." Handsome Fatty Wang immediately sat up and said anxiously, "You... you're just exploiting personal grudges. Just because I don't want to help you dig a tunnel, you get someone to mess with me? You're so shameless!"
"How am I shameless?" Ye Qing said, "As long as Corpse Ghost Dragon, that old monster, isn't dealt with, we won't have any peace. I was asking you to help dig a tunnel to deal with him. If you won't even help in this bit, even if I don't bring him to you, do you think you can escape?"
"Deal with Corpse Ghost Dragon?" Handsome Fatty Wang jumped off the bed and exclaimed, "Oh damn, you should've said so earlier. If we can get rid of that old monster, not only will the Fat Lord help you dig tunnels, but even give up all my possessions!"
"Really?" Ye Qing's eyes lit up, seeing Handsome Fatty Wang shiver, he quickly laughed it off and said, "Of course, beating a monster like Corpse Ghost Dragon isn't something money alone can do. So, I guess you won't ask me for money. Let's talk about digging the tunnel first..."
Ye Qing was completely speechless, even at this time, this fatso was so stingy.
Ye Qing chuckled and said, "Dealing with Corpse Ghost Dragon, normal methods won't work, we need special ones. If you're willing, donating tens of millions would also be possible."
"Nonsense, if the Fat Lord had tens of millions, would I still be holed up in this dump with you?" Handsome Fatty Wang said, "With that money, I'd have gone abroad to enjoy life, fearlessly and worry-free from Corpse Ghost Dragon, that old monster."
"Impossible, right? With all your years of tomb-robbing, you've probably robbed more tombs than I've seen dead bodies!" Ye Qing looked in disbelief at Handsome Fatty Wang and said, "You have no savings?"
"Ah, speaking of this, the Fat Lord really has a lot of grievances!" Handsome Fatty Wang made a pained expression and said, "Actually, the Fat Lord is a very compassionate person..."
"Stop!" Ye Qing quickly interrupted. That fat man's words had no credibility, and there was no need to waste time.
"In a while, pack up and follow me to the city for an on-site inspection. Mainly, you'll be responsible for the tunnel planning." Ye Qing said, "This is your specialty, shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Digging tunnels is no problem, but are you really going to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon?" Handsome Fatty Wang looked at Ye Qing with a confused face, "Aren't you just trying to make me do the hard work? Can digging a tunnel really deal with that old monster? Who are you trying to fool?"
Ye Qing smiled faintly and explained his plan to Handsome Fatty Wang. Handsome Fatty Wang was silent for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Alright, I'll pack up immediately and start working on that tunnel. Don't worry, Fat Lord here may not be good at other things, but when it comes to digging tunnels, few can compare to me in this world!"
The reason Ye Qing approached Handsome Fatty Wang for this tunnel planning was precisely because of this. Handsome Fatty Wang may not excel at other things, but tomb-robbing was his specialty. Tomb-robbing inevitably involves tunnel digging; he once dug a tunnel that allowed him to move everything out of the Treasure Pavilion from the Shen Family Manor, showcasing his immense skill. Entrusting him with tunnel digging made Ye Qing very confident.
After settling matters with Handsome Fatty Wang, Ye Qing left the orphanage directly. He used to circle around the orphanage every time he returned, checking the situation here. But this time, he didn't have the time. The Corpse Ghost Dragon could return to Shenchuan City at any moment; they had to be ready before it came back.
Upon leaving the orphanage, Ye Qing also received a call from Li Lianshan. Ye Qing instructed him to find the King of Explosives, whom he had already contacted. The King of Explosives, upon hearing that it was Ye Qing's matter, agreed without any hesitation to come help in Shenchuan City.
"Even the King of Explosives has been found. Everything is finally ready!" Ye Qing's face flashed with a hint of coldness. With all the people gathered, he had prepared a big trap for the Corpse Ghost Dragon to fall into. Whether he could kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon depended on the results this time.
After arranging for Handsome Fatty Wang to be sent to Helian Tiehua's residence, Ye Qing did not return to the city but went to the manor where Sha Men lived. Over the past few days, Ye Qing couldn't return home because Yelu Ying and others were still staying at his place. While Yelu Ying was one thing, the two Tomb Guarding Elders of the Yelu Family Ancestral Tomb kept demanding Ye Qing hurry back to resolve the marriage with Yelu Ying, so Ye Qing dared not return.
The most troublesome part was, Old Wang Ba had been staying with the Yelu Family people during this time. Ye Qing wanted to find Old Wang Ba to see if he had any way to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. However, he was afraid the Yelu Family people would find out he had returned and force marriage on him, so Ye Qing refrained from seeing even Old Wang Ba. After all, neither Shijia nor Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue knew how to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, let alone Old Wang Ba!
Ye Qing was already familiar with the people of Sha Men, and upon arriving, they exchanged greetings before inviting the Bloody Monk.
The Wolf Monk had also been staying with Sha Men during this time, appearing alongside the Bloody Monk. It was apparent from their expressions that they were not in a good mood, but what had happened was uncertain.
Upon seeing Ye Qing, the Bloody Monk's expression improved slightly. He casually gestured to the chair beside him, saying, "Sit."
Ye Qing had known the Bloody Monk for a long time and understood his temperament. Though the Bloody Monk had only said one word, it was already highly commendable. It's worth noting that even Peak Masters, if the Bloody Monk didn't think much of them, he might not even see them, let alone personally invite them to sit.
"Blood Robe Sect Leader, I've come this time mainly to meet with Broom Star." Sitting beside him, Ye Qing didn't hesitate to express his intentions.
"Alright!" The Bloody Monk didn't hesitate a bit, immediately gesturing, and Cui Yu stepped into the inner room to bring Broom Star out.
After many days of not seeing each other, Broom Star's stature hadn't changed much, but his demeanor seemed even more composed than before. His face always carried a slight smile, calm and indifferent, as if nothing in the world could affect his mood. Of course, when he saw Ye Qing, he nodded slightly, considered as a greeting.
Ye Qing knew Broom Star well, so seeing him like this was not surprising. He took out the notebook he carried with him, revealing the Buddhist Texts he had copied from the Demon Hideout Cave. These Buddhist Texts were left in the cave, the final content from one of the last five caves, where the monk entered.
Previously, Ye Qing sought Old Wang Ba to help translate the Taoist Incantations part, discovering that the Carefree Movement was a Secret Technique left by Ancestor Chen Tuan. Hence, Ye Qing was even more curious about the Buddhist Texts part, taking this opportunity to come to Sha Men specifically to have Broom Star translate it.
Handing the notebook to Broom Star, Ye Qing explained his purpose. After listening to Ye Qing, Broom Star took the notebook and examined it carefully. The Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk also came over; they knew about the Demon Hideout Cave but had never entered the last five caves, curious about the later situation.
Gazing at the Buddhist Texts on the notebook for a while, even before Broom Star began translating, the expressions of Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk simultaneously changed, indicating they also recognized the Buddhist Texts.
"What's written here seems to be..." Broom Star carefully examined for a while and slowly said, "Personally left by Bodhidharma, Power of Dragon Elephant!"
