Chapter 485: The True Heir of the
"This fellow's attire was nothing out of the ordinary, but as he passed Half-Section Li, he caught a whiff of an earthy, loamy smell."
"Although Master Guo was a layman, in order to swindle people, over the years he had picked up about thirty percent of the real skills."
"The method of identifying someone by the smell of earth was naturally passed down to Half-Section Li as key knowledge!"
"The moment Half-Section Li sensed the visitor was a tomb raider, he got instantly thrilled, thinking a job had come in!"
"After that man entered Master Guo's room, Half-Section Li immediately went out to call his fellow disciples back."
"These fellow disciples were the people who had learned tomb-raiding alongside him, and among them was naturally the one who would later break both his legs."
"But at this point, Half-Section Li still treated these people as brothers of the same school!"
Pausing here, Zhang Lin stopped for a moment and took a sip of tea.
Yet the audience dared not relax, staring at him with great seriousness.
Everyone knew that this tomb raider who had suddenly appeared might very well be the fuse that led to Half-Section Li's first descent into a tomb!
Inside the mysterious room, Chang San looked at Zhang Lin, his expression never changing.
He still had not figured out the connection between Half-Section Li and Lei Cheng, so he could only continue listening to every single word Zhang Lin said.
"When the fellow disciples heard a tomb raider had come to see Master Guo, each and every one of them got wildly excited, and they all followed Half-Section Li running back to the courtyard."
"Some of these people had followed Master Guo for several years without ever setting foot underground, and they were itching to go terribly."
"The moment the group entered the courtyard, they saw Master Guo and that guest walking out of the room."
"Earlier Half-Section Li had been too impatient and hadn't observed closely. Looking again now, he noticed that despite the hot weather, that man was wrapped up very tightly, not a single bit of skin showing, and around his waist was wound a strip of lambskin."
"That getup was neither one thing nor the other, and Half-Section Li simply couldn't make heads or tails of it."
"At this moment a senior brother beside him suddenly nudged Half-Section Li and whispered: This isn't lambskin from around here, it looks like it's from the north."
"Hearing this, Half-Section Li didn't doubt it at all. Before this senior brother of his took up the trade, his family had raised plenty of sheep, so the man was a professional in this area."
"But whether it was the north or the south meant little to Half-Section Li, after all he had never been anywhere farther himself."
"Just then he heard Master Guo say to that man: Mr. Chale Gai, as you can see, this old man still has so many apprentices, I truly cannot accept your invitation to leave the mountain."
"Hearing this, how could Half-Section Li and the other apprentices not know the purpose of this man called Chale Gai?"
