Chapter 203: The Entire Net Is Stunned

Even Li Li Weisi's descendants did not believe that Li Li Weisi had unraveled the secret of the Heart Gu.

Let alone the audience filling the entire theater.

Everyone was buzzing with discussion, and the whole theater sank into a clamor of voices.

Zhang Lin did not stop them, however, and let the audience talk to their hearts' content.

After all, the less they believed now, the more shocking the truth would be when it was revealed!

While the audience was discussing, Tianzhen and Fatty, who were inside the ancient tomb, were also thrown into immense shock.

Tianzhen truly had not expected that his grandfather could have gone through such a heart-pounding past.

Fatty, on the other hand, was purely yearning for that bizarre and wondrous world.

In those days, travel was difficult and communications were undeveloped.

Yet there were still things like Gu seedlings and Holy Maidens appearing; listening to this story was, for Fatty, just like listening to a martial-arts tale!

From it he savored an entirely different kind of spirit.

For a while this gave Fatty the illusion that the jianghu of tomb-raiding, like the jianghu of the martial-arts world, was full of chivalry and tender passion—until Tianzhen's words woke him up.

"You really ought to read fewer martial-arts novels! The jianghu of tomb-raiding is completely different from the jianghu of the martial world!"

"Tell me, why did Laojiu Sect raid tombs? Could it be out of lofty character, wanting to seek out the severed history and national treasures of the country for the nation?"

"You're thinking too much! It was simply for survival!"

"In those years, survival was already hard enough, and there was still the chaos of war. For craftsmen like Laojiu Sect, if they didn't raid tombs, what else could they do?"

"As for growing big later, opening more gambling dens, and slowly laundering themselves clean—that's all talk for afterwards."

"Laojiu Sect's original purpose in tomb-raiding was money!"

"You think my grandfather's Miao-border past was thrilling and stirring, but that's only because you're listening to it as a story."

"But if you were the one living through it, the experience would hardly count as wonderful."

Fatty got a thorough dressing-down from Tianzhen, and immediately rolled his eyes, plopped his backside down, and squatted there.

Muttering under his breath: "Pfft! You think Fat Lord doesn't understand these great principles?"

"Anyway, I only know one thing—your grandfather can't die!"

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be a you!"

"But if you look at it that way, that's bad news—feels like that old bastard Li Li Weisi was up to no good."

"It must have been he who finally persuaded Miss Lan Ling to stay in Old Changsha, and saved your grandfather's life."

Tianzhen thought so too, but the contradiction within it left him somewhat unable to figure it out.

Clearly his grandmother was a Jiangnan woman; after Wushan Residence moved to Hangcheng, only his grandmother lived there alone.

As a child Tianzhen spent a lot of time with his grandmother, and never noticed anything unusual about her.
