Never Wanted To Do This Chapter 9

Huh...

Greg glared at Felicity. From the tone of her words, it didn't sound like she was just saying it casually.

Since Felicity also knew that the secret of a great tomb of Western Chu was hidden in the Western Chu silk book, why did she come to ask for his advice?

Could it be that he was just showing off to himself?

Or does he want to take this opportunity to get his hands on another silk book?

Greg rolled his eyes and felt that the latter was more likely.

But Greg was not a pushover. He pretended to be confused, but nodded in agreement with a serious expression, "Miss Mo, what you said is indeed true. I have also heard that the ancients used celestial phenomena to locate graves and build tombs. But if the Western Chu Silk Book in your photo is really a complete photo, it only records a special celestial phenomenon called 'Heavenly Wolf Chasing the Sun', but does not mention the word 'cave' at all."

Not only did Greg speak seriously, he also deliberately emphasized the word "hole".

Felicity did not realize that Greg was driving quietly, and immediately took over the conversation and said, "Shopkeeper Xu is indeed very capable. He saw at a glance that the Western Chu silk book recorded the celestial phenomenon of 'The Wolf Chasing the Sun'. However, the ancients did not simply use celestial phenomena to determine the location of the tomb, but also based on the four fortunes and disasters! As long as we gather the other two Western Chu silk books that record the four fortunes and disasters, the 'burial site' will naturally come out!"

Felicity actually imitated Greg's tone just now and deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "穴".

And what Felicity said was absolutely correct. The location of the large tomb hidden in this Western Chu silk book was determined with the help of celestial phenomena, disasters, and the four movements, and then the information was recorded separately on three silk books and passed down to later generations.

In other words, as long as all the silk books recording celestial phenomena, disasters and the four movements are gathered together, the Western Chu tomb can be found based on their contents.

Didn’t you just say that you wanted to collect all four?

How come it has become three now?

As mentioned above, collecting the above three silk books is simply a matter of finding this Western Chu tomb.

Finding it does not mean being able to open it. If you want to open this tomb and get out alive after entering, you must rely on another silk book that records the taboos of the lunar calendar.

Therefore, if you want to find this great tomb of Western Chu, the four silk books are indispensable!

Felicity seemed to have done some in-depth research on the Western Chu Silk Manuscript, and most likely she had some ideas about the Western Chu tomb described in the silk manuscript.

Before Greg could say anything else, Felicity looked at Greg and said seriously, "Manager Xu, with your eyesight, you must have seen the secret of a great tomb of Western Chu hidden in this Western Chu silk book, so there is no need for us to hide it. If I guess correctly, the Western Chu silk book that your father bought from the three tomb robbers from Changsha should record the disaster, right?"

"Hey, you know this? Are you really so sure?"

Greg was even more surprised when he heard this, because in the past ten years, the Western Chu silk book in his family had never been seen by any other outsider. How could Felicity be so sure that the silk book in her family was the one that recorded the disaster?

Felicity smiled slightly and said, "I am very sure, because Xuan Dingzhai has another Xichu silk book that records the four movements. The one in our Mo Yuanzhai records the celestial phenomena, so the one in your Xu family must be the disaster!

Shopkeeper Xu, I won't beat around the bush with you. We, Moyuanzhai, have reached a consensus on cooperation with Xuandingzhai. We have each produced the Xichu silk book and gathered the most powerful masters in Luoyang City to jointly search for this Xichu tomb and obtain the treasures equally. Now we only need the silk book that records the disaster of your Xu family. As long as you are willing to contribute the silk book, we will give you half of the benefits, and also make room for you in Luoyang City, so that you can revive your Xu family's Yunlongzhai!"

Felicity's words were powerful and it was not difficult to find from her words that Mo Yuanzhai and Xuan Dingzhai were very enthusiastic about this Western Chu Tomb.

But why did Felicity only mention the silk book about celestial phenomena, disasters and the four movements from beginning to end, and not mention the other silk book that recorded the taboos of the lunar calendar?

Obviously, people who understand the Western Chu Silk Books must have thought that the ancients used celestial phenomena, disasters and the four movements to determine the location of tombs, and that there are only these three silk books that contain the code of the Western Chu Tomb, while ignoring the fourth one's monthly taboos.

As I said just now, these four silk books are indispensable. Even if you really find the Western Chu Tomb with only the other three silk books, without the silk book code of the lunar taboos, you will be 100% committing suicide, which is equivalent to being buried with the Western Chu Tomb!

Therefore, Greg was not interested in this at all. Without the silk book recording the taboos of the lunar calendar, he would surely die if he went there, let alone think about dividing the treasure equally.

Unless the fourth silk book recording the monthly taboos also appears.

"Manager Xu, although your house was confiscated by the warlords five years ago, the belongings they confiscated from you are probably far less than the treasures accumulated and collected by your Xu family for generations, right? I think you should have kept the Western Chu Silk Book, right?"

There was a hint of wisdom in Felicity's eyes, and she asked Greg cautiously and tentatively.

However, as soon as Felicity finished speaking, she felt Greg's originally calm expression suddenly turn cold. The look in his eyes as he looked at her emitted a faint cold light, which made Felicity subconsciously stand there in a daze, with a chill down her spine.

This Felicity is actually quite clever!

In fact, Felicity's guess was not wrong. The Xu family had been running the family business for several generations and had indeed accumulated some valuable goods. They were saved from disaster because they were hidden well. But they are not in Greg's hands now. Otherwise, Greg would not have fallen to the point of eating coarse food and living in a thatched hut.

"Ms. Mo, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

Greg did not directly answer Felicity's question, but continued to say indifferently: "Miss Mo, the Xi Chu Silk Book that you just mentioned that records the disaster was indeed owned by our Xu family, but unfortunately it was sold a few years ago. Yesterday, three employees of Xuan Dingzhai came to me before you and asked me about the Xi Chu Silk Book, but they returned in vain."

Greg spread his hands and made a regretful expression.

"It was sold? Shopkeeper Xu, such an important thing was sold so easily?"

Felicity had deep doubts about what Greg said.

"Oh... That's right. I remember that the buyer was very generous and directly offered fifty taels of gold. This is not a small amount of money. We are running a business, not a museum. We will sell it if we can make money."

Greg's expression is serious, and his body language is vivid without being exaggerated.

But Felicity still looked at Greg in disbelief and said, "Manager Xu, I still hope you will consider it. Now we have joined forces with Moyuanzhai and Xuandingzhai, and we have specially hired the retired Banshan Sect disciples to come back. Everything is ready, except for the disaster silk book in your hand."

"A disciple of the Banshan Sect? Could it be Partridge Whistle? It seems that Moyuanzhai and Xuandingzhai are really stubborn and determined to attack this Western Chu Tomb!"

Greg was muttering to himself while shaking his head like a rattle: "That's really a pity. The silk book was indeed sold a long time ago, and the money from the sale was given to you as a betrothal gift to your Mohist family."

"Miss Mo, look at my humble abode. Apart from a bare bed for sleeping, there is no hot tea or even a place to sit. If you have nothing else to do, I won't keep you any longer."

Greg ordered them to leave, and as he spoke he bent down and lifted up the door frame that had fallen to the ground.

In an instant, the dust on the door frame floated everywhere.

Felicity subconsciously took a step back. Seeing that there was really no way to easily get the whereabouts of the Catastrophic Silk Book from Greg, she could only shake her head helplessly, and finally said: "Boss Xu, I really hope you will think about it carefully. I came here this time to kindly remind you that the people in Xuandingzhai will definitely use any means to make you hand over the Catastrophic Silk Book. If you take it out now, everyone will naturally be in peace..."

After saying this, Felicity turned and left.

"Hello..."

Greg lifted the door frame, then opened the door, looked at Felicity's back and shouted.

Felicity turned back suddenly, thinking that Greg had suddenly changed his mind.

Unexpectedly, Greg smiled slyly again and said, "Miss Mo, please tell your father that he doesn't need to delay our marriage until I die, because I don't want you anymore. But if you insist, you can only be a subordinate!"

Hearing Greg's words, Felicity frowned slightly. She wanted to say something, but in the end she simply ignored Greg, turned around and strode to the intersection, got into a Ford car, and drove away...
