When Yang Yu heard Bai Zhantang's words, he immediately recalled the spiritual energy he had obtained from the zombie. Although the amount of spiritual energy was not much, it was very condensed and greatly beneficial to the body.
"Do you know where that Nine Unity Zhenren is going and what he is going to do?”
Yang Yu became interested in the tomb raider, Adept Jiuhe. He planned to take advantage of the time when he entered the capital to take a look. If it was a grave robber, he would also take the opportunity to see what the supernatural events in this world were like.
"I don't know. It's been more than a month since this incident, but I haven't heard of any tombs being robbed. I think that person might be visiting a friend, but I've heard some rumors about that Nine Unity Immortal.”
"It is said that they didn't enter the tomb for money, but for the pearls. Normally, if one entered a tomb, as long as there were no orbs, they would return intact. He just didn't know if this rumor was true.”
Bai Zhantang ate a mouthful of food and spoke about the rumors of the Nine Unity Immortal with some disbelief. After Yang Yu heard this, his hand that was holding the wine bottle paused. The way Daoist Master Jiu Gong acted was somewhat similar to the Mountain Moving Daoist in the Ghost Extinguishing Lamp world in his previous life.
"Bai Zhantang, have you heard of the four sects, General Hair Hill, Gold-searching Commandant, Mountain-moving Daoist, and Mountain-guarding Warrior?”
Yang Yu asked Bai Zhantang about the four sects in his memory. Whether it was news of theft or grave robbing, he should have heard some of it. If the four sects existed in this world, then as God Thief, he should have more or less heard of them.
"Of course I've heard of them. They're the top four sects in the thief fighting industry at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Starting from the Hongwu period, they all declined. Now, it was rare to see the disciples of these four sects. Even if they were discovered, they would inevitably be hunted down.”
Bai Zhantang sighed as he told Yang Yu about the four great sects, causing Yang Yu to be shocked. This world actually had traces of the existence of the Thief Sect in it.
However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, there was spiritual energy in this world. It wasn't surprising that there were zombies and dumplings, and the corresponding four tomb raiding sects weren't a big deal.
"Tell me how these four sects declined. Did the court make a move?”
Yang Yu asked Bai Zhantang about the four sects. Tong Xiangyu and the others, who were not familiar with this industry, were all curious and waited for Bai Zhantang to continue. However, he did not expect that the one who spoke this time was not Bai Zhantang, but Xing Yusen.
"It could be a sudden decline, but the court must have made a move. Our county government still has a notice to arrest the members of these four sects. The imperial court even sent Mountain Guardians to deal with the disasters caused by tomb raiding.”
Xing Yusen clapped his hands after he finished speaking, obviously agreeing with the court's decision. Yang Yu understood Xing Yusen's thoughts. After all, there were zombies in this world.
Although it was very difficult for zombies to form now, those that had already formed were also degenerating. However, there were still bloody corpses and dumplings. Those tomb raiders often encountered mutated corpses or strange creatures in the tomb after opening the coffin, but they could not deal with them themselves.
Most grave robbers would run away when they encountered those terrifying creatures. In the end, those creatures that ran out of the tombs would only attack the nearby villagers who were unprepared. This was how most Corpse Calamities were formed, and it was inevitable that ordinary people would hate them.
"Indeed. It was said that the Mountain Guardian's coronation ceremony at that time suggested four measures to Emperor Hongwu according to the characteristics of the four sects to completely cut off the inheritance of the four branches.”
"There are also the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the local yamens to suppress and kill these grave robbers, so that the four sects have yet to recover.”
Bai Zhantang could not help but feel proud when he saw that everyone was engrossed in listening. Back then, he was the same. Those were the four first-rate sects, and each of them was like Shaolin and Wudang in the thief industry. However, they disappeared so easily.
"These four measures are to destroy the seal to destroy the hair mound, remove the talisman to retreat the gold, abandon the pill cauldron to resist moving the mountain, and eliminate the group of thieves to go to the imperial ridge.”
Yang Yu thought of the mountain viewing method in the Ghost Extinguishing Lamp world in his previous life and could not help but ask Bai Zhantang. Now, Yang Yu was more inclined to believe that this was the Ming Dynasty in the Ghost Extinguishing Lamp world, rather than the world he was originally in.
It was unknown if it was a single Ghost Extinguishing Lamp world, or if the stolen pen was mixed in, or if there was an even more terrifying existence.
"It turns out that you also know about these four decisions. It was indeed these four decisions that ultimately led to the downfall of the four great sects. In addition to the Jinyiwei, the government, and some Taoist sects, it was rare to see people from these four sects exterminating people.”
Bai Zhantang nodded in agreement. However, Tong Xiangyu and the others didn't understand why the four great sects had fallen after making these four decisions.
Even though they saw the puzzled looks on their faces, Bai Zhantang and Yang Yu tactfully stopped talking. After all, it was the secret of the four sects. There are seals on the hills, talismans on the gold, magic on moving mountains, and armor on the mountains. This was the evidence of the four sects, and also the basis for them to enter the tomb.
"Have you heard of Wang Zang Hai and the Wang Clan?”
Yang Yu then asked Bai Zhantang about the important figures in the theft of the brush. As expected, Wang Zanghai was from this period. If there was, then this world would definitely have a story of stealing pens in the future.
"It sounds familiar. I seem to have heard someone mention it before, but I can't remember.”
Bai Zhantang shook his head and replied to Yang Yu. He was only God Thief, so he knew more about the Thief lineage. However, he knew very little about the Fengshui Burial Art lineage and the pursuit of immortality. However, when Yang Yu heard his name, he knew that stealing the brush would not be able to escape.
"Why are you asking Wang Zang Hai? This Wang family is a hereditary centurion of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works of Ming Dynasty. Tell me honestly, who are you and what are you doing? Why are you asking about my Ming officials? I might have to ask you to come with me to the yamen.”
Xing Yusen listened as Yang Yu first asked about the tomb raiding and now asked about the Wang family of the Qing Ming Dynasty. And this Wang Clan specialized in building the Imperial Tomb, so they became suspicious of Yang Yu. He stood up and asked Yang Yu with his saber in hand.
"Old Xing, stop. This is Huashan receiving the seal of Perfected Qing Wei, don't be stupid.”
Bai Zhantang quickly pulled Xing Yusen back and explained Yang Yu's identity to him, in case Xing Yusen offended Yang Yu. Yang Yu was a Zhenren, and his rank was two levels higher than that of a county magistrate.
Furthermore, there was the Huashan Sect behind him. If he offended Yang Yu, he would not even need Yang Yu to do anything. Just the disciples of the Huashan Sect would be enough to make Xing Yusen feel like dying.
"I am the Sect Master of the Huashan Daoist Sect and have been conferred the title of Perfected Qingwei by the imperial court. He was currently heading north to Jingdou to attend the Empress 'birthday and pray for her. I'm also the lecturer at the Huashan Mountain Conference of His Majesty. Do you still want to follow me to the capital to investigate?”
Xing Yusen was so scared that he dropped his knife and knelt down. He was obviously shocked by Yang Yu's identity.
Previously, he had heard Bai Zhantang calling him Daoist Master, and thought that he had encountered an unorthodox existence like Daoist Master Jiuhe. He had never thought that he would be the Huashan Sect's Daoist Sect Leader. He was at least on the same level as the magistrate.
"Alright, get up. Don't be so rash next time. I'm just resting for the night. I'll leave tomorrow. Don't bother with the reception.”
