Chapter 483: Digging a grave? Relocating a grave!
The shepherd girl must have suffered a lot. After returning to the camp, Chu Qing checked her.

His Qi and blood were weak, his spirit was severely depleted, and there were many kinds of poisons in his body.

Now the toxicity is suppressed by the detoxification pills she carries with her, but it can only be suppressed temporarily. Once the toxicity breaks out, it is hard to say whether it will take her life, but it will definitely not be easy.

After having some food prepared and sent over, Chu Qing reached out and helped the shepherd boy sit up.

A palm slowly pressed on her back, and the internal energy circulated, instantly running through all the eight extraordinary meridians and benefiting the five internal organs.

The shepherd boy showed a bit of pain on his face and spoke softly:
"It hurts...be gentle."

"Hold your breath and concentrate. It will be a little painful at first, but it will be fine after you get used to it."

Chu Qing instructed softly.

The shepherd boy hummed and agreed.

The corners of Wu Qianhuan's mouth twitched. What kind of weird dialogue is this? Why does it sound so familiar?

Wenrou sat on the other side, on her favorite little stool, supporting her chin with her hand and watching Chu Qing using his internal energy to cure the poison on the shepherd boy.

It didn't last long, just a cup of tea, and the shepherd boy screamed and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

His face also had a bit more color.

She seemed to have been hollowed out and fell limply on Chu Qing's body.

Chu Qing took her hand and put her head on the pillow.

I sat in front of the bed, reached out, took out a chicken leg and handed it to her:
"Eat something first before you talk, otherwise you won't even have the energy to speak."

The shepherd boy gnawed the chicken leg silently, not because the Xuan Emperor's daughter's manners were so outstanding... mainly because he was really bored and couldn't open his mouth too wide.

He ate the chicken leg like rice porridge. After eating half of it, he finally regained some strength and managed to sit up from the bed.

"Tell me, how long have you been trapped in there?"

Chu Qing asked with a smile.

"Ha ha……"

The shepherd boy sneered with difficulty:
“You think I would tell you such an embarrassing thing… Never mind, I’ll just be trapped here for about half a month.

“All the rations were gone, and we tried our best but couldn’t find a way out.

“The Dragon-Breaking Stone is too heavy, I really can’t push it open.

“With no other options left, we could only dig a hole upwards.

"Avoid rocks if you encounter them, and try to maintain your direction...

"We dug the tomb half a month ago, and at least half of the time was spent digging holes.

"I almost died in that robbery hole."

At first she wanted to show that she was nonchalant, but later on, her true fears were revealed.

Chu Qing thought that if it were someone else, they would probably develop claustrophobia.

In order to save energy, she would definitely not dig a particularly large tunnel. She would have to stay in that cramped environment for nearly ten days, and she had to constantly remind herself to move forward and upward, digging a tunnel that she didn't know when she would be able to dig through, and she wasn't even sure if she could dig through at all.

With that kind of torment, it’s no wonder that she was so depressed.

"Now you know why your father and your master didn't allow you to come, right?"

Chu Qing brought another bowl of porridge and handed it to her.

The shepherd boy took it and was about to say, "I'm a patient, how come you don't know how to feed me?"

Then she caught a glimpse of Wu Qianhuan and Wen Rou. She was too embarrassed to say what she wanted to say. While drinking porridge and eating chicken legs, she did not forget to say to Chu Qing:
"You saved me again...

"How can I repay you this time?"

"It's not like I dug you out."

"But if I hadn't met you, I probably wouldn't have survived."

The shepherd boy looked at Chu Qing:
"Don't worry, I've already said that I won't give myself to you. After all, it's not reasonable for me, the daughter of the Emperor Xuan, to be someone's mistress...

"But repaying a favor is a must. I can't owe you a favor."

Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, thinking, you girl, you still say you don't want to repay kindness with enmity?

When he stole a glance at Wu Qianhuan, Wu Qianhuan gave him a glare, then came up to him and said:

"It's not like we've just met. We're old friends, so I don't need to repay you for treating me to a meal or helping me with something I can do.

"But since Miss Mu is Senior You Zong's disciple, I think she must have a good understanding of traps and ancient tombs, right?"

"That's natural!!"

The shepherd boy patted his chest with his hands, making it jingle.

Chu Qing understood Wu Qianhuan's meaning, but was somewhat skeptical:
"If you have extraordinary attainments, can you fall into such a state?"

"…I did it for a reason, okay?"

The shepherd boy said angrily:

“I thought it was just an ancient tomb, but it turned out to be a tomb within a tomb. Logically, I had already destroyed the mechanism of the Dragon Breaking Stone, so it couldn’t have fallen down… But, there was another Dragon Breaking Stone in the tomb within the tomb, and I accidentally cut off my escape route.

"And even in the face of such a situation, I was able to escape. Do you know how much ability and courage this requires?"

"...Okay, okay."

Chu Qing didn't understand these messed up theories, so he just waved his hand and said:
"I'll give you credit for being awesome. If you really want to repay me, why don't you just follow us for now.

"We will enter the Ten Absolute Caves tomorrow to look for the Ghost Emperor."

"The Ghost Emperor is in the Ten Absolute Caves?"

The shepherd boy was startled, then his eyes began to roll around, and finally he clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, I'll help you! It's a way of repaying your kindness!!"

Chu Qing looked at her carefully, then suddenly smiled and said:
"This trip is to save the Ghost Emperor, which is the real business. You can also step into the Ten Absolute Caves, search for ancient tombs and steal treasures. I will escort you, so you don't have to worry too much about safety.

"After this is over, you don't have to worry about your father and your master finding trouble with you and scolding you...

"It can be said that I can kill two birds with one stone, and I can also repay a favor at the same time?
"Am i right?"

The shepherd boy had an innocent look on his face:

"What? What did you say?"

Chu Qing sighed:

"If you put your mind into martial arts, I think Emperor Xuan would have given up his throne."

"You are so young, but you speak like an old woman. None of the maids in my palace are as old-fashioned as you. Humph! I really don't know what they like about you."

The shepherd boy grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Third brother is good-looking, has great martial arts skills, and is very kind to me... He spends money to buy me food, drinks, and clothes, and I don't have to worry about anything."

She said gently, picking at her fingers.

Chu Qing only realized after hearing it that the girl was responding to the shepherd boy's question "What do you like about you?", and her response was very serious.

"Okay, let's all go back and have a good rest."

Chu Qing interrupted their conversation:

"Tomorrow morning, we will set foot in the Ten Absolute Caves."

Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou nodded, turned and left.

The shepherd boy was lying on the bed, wanting to cover himself with a quilt and take a rest, but he suddenly remembered something and looked at Chu Qing who had not left yet, with a bewildered look on his face:
"Why don't you leave?"

"This is my tent!"

Chu Qing glanced at her:
"Why don't you say I leave?"

"Then...then I'll go."

The shepherd boy struggled to get up and wanted to get off the ground. But her body was too weak and she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Chu Qing was quick and picked her up so that she didn't fall down.

The shepherd boy was a little shy, shrank his neck and said:

"You...what are you going to do? I don't have any strength now. I can't serve you."

"What do you mean? Now that you have the strength, you plan to serve me?"

Chu Qing almost laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

The shepherd boy was very angry, mainly because he could see that Chu Qing's smile was not a teasing smile, nor a flirting smile, but he was really making fun of him.

"nothing."

Chu Qing put her back on the bed, and the shepherd boy shrank back subconsciously:

"No, what on earth are you going to do? Just tell me the truth!
"Come if you want to, don't come if you don't want to, why are you being so fussy!?"

"Why are you chirping?"

Chu Qing looked at her mouth, which was like a machine gun, with shells falling like crackling when she spoke. She didn't know who she learned to speak so fast from.

"Leave me alone……"

The shepherd boy became even angrier.

Chu Qing just rolled his eyes at her:
"I just learned about your physical condition. Even if you rest for a night, it will be difficult for you to move freely tomorrow.

“So we have already discussed it before. You stay here tonight and I will help you practice Qigong and recover your strength.

"That way, you'll have work for us tomorrow."

“…Is that it?”

The shepherd boy's shyness disappeared, and he stretched out lazily out of boredom:

"Okay, come on, do whatever you want... Ouch!"

Before he could finish his words, Chu Qing knocked him on the head again:
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out."

……

……

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, everyone cooked a meal. After eating and drinking, Chu Qing called Liu Zhaonian and others over.

Inside the tent, Chu Qing sat on the alliance leader's throne... That's right, he brought the alliance leader's throne with him this time.

Chu Qing had actually clearly expressed his refusal. After all, it was too inconvenient to move around with such a big chair... But Liu Zhaonian waved his hand and told him not to worry about it, and just leave these things to them.

In fact, the journey was not delayed at all because of this.

Now that all the leaders have gathered in their tents, Chu Qing sits on the throne of the leader, and the first thing he says is:

"Everyone, I plan to tear it all the way in."

"Tear it down?"

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and Liu Zhaonian looked at Chu Qing:
"Leader, do you mean to demolish the tomb?"

"Exactly."

Chu Qing nodded:

“The Ten Absolute Caves are known as the Desolate Land, and the greatest danger comes from the various ancient tomb traps.

“If they come in groups of three or five, they will naturally be helpless against these ancient tombs. Once they are trapped inside, life or death will depend on fate.

“But this time we have come in large numbers, with sufficient manpower!

“If we step directly into it and someone falls in, we will naturally have to rescue them. But if we do that, we will have to take care of both our heads and our butts. It will take too long, and we won’t be able to welcome back the Ghost Emperor.

"We have lost most of our men for no apparent reason, and we may not even be able to find the Ghost Emperor.

“Instead of wasting time like this, it’s better to just tear it down!
"If you see a grave, dig it up. If you see a grave, dig up the coffin!"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again. After a while, Ji Yexue spoke in a low voice:
"Will it be detrimental to one's virtue?"

"I can't take care of it."

Chu Qing said:

“Now is a time of chaos in the martial arts world. If we fail to bring back the Ghost Emperor, who knows how many more people will die.

“Even if we welcome back the Ghost Emperor, we have called on so many heroes to fight against the evil cult together. Can we not give them food and let them fight with hunger?

"It just so happens that the things we dug out from the ancient tomb can be exchanged for a large sum of silver, so I can share it with everyone.

"Even if I die in battle, at least I can leave some money for my family."

"Makes sense."

“Whether one’s hidden virtue will be damaged or not, no one can tell for sure, but there must be at least 800 martial arts masters who died in the Ten Absolute Caves, if not a thousand.

"Since they have killed people like this, digging them out might be a great merit."

"After all, it's better not to destroy it... After all, they live well there. If it really doesn't work... We can just relocate their graves!"

"That makes sense! It would be nice to gather the tomb owners together and bury them in a Feng Shui-rich place."

Everyone started discussing it one after another, and Chu Qing clapped his hands gently, and they finally quieted down.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Liu Zhaonian stood up:
"Just follow the leader's wishes and demolish it!"

"it is good."

Chu Qing waved his hand slightly, and the shepherd boy who looked like he was about to die yesterday now appeared vividly in front of everyone.

This was mainly due to Chu Qing's help in regulating her luck and restoring her energy and blood last night. After a whole night, with Chu Qing's level of cultivation, he had already helped her replenish her depleted energy.

Now he looks naturally radiant.

Everyone looked at her, but they were very unfamiliar with her, wondering where Chu Qing got this beautiful girl from.

Liu Zhaonian frowned, thinking that since Chu was a handsome young man, it was natural that women would like him.

But you can’t just like every person you meet, then where would that put our predecessors?
Looks like I need to find another opportunity to persuade him...

At least put it all into the bowl before eating.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Chu Qing say:
“You may not know this person, but I think everyone here should have heard of her master’s name.

"That's 'All the Stars in the Nine Heavens in One', the world's number one thief, the thief saint You Zong!"

"A disciple of the Thief Saint You Zong?"

"When did that old thief accept such a beautiful disciple?"

"A few years ago, he stole my Qianhua Sect's most precious treasure, the White Jade Green Scroll, saying he wanted to play with it... but when he returned it, the entire White Jade Green Scroll was pitch black. This is really outrageous!"

Daizong stood up angrily and was about to argue with the shepherd boy.

Chu Qing quickly waved his hand to quiet them down:
“Okay, if there is any personal grudge, it’s not too late to talk about it later.

"Now that the disciple of the Saint of Thieves is right before our eyes, you can go and ask your own disciples if there are any masters of this art.

“We can also select them all and form a team with Miss Mu as the leader. They will go ahead to explore the ancient tomb, lead the others to dig, and properly place the tomb owner… well, wait… move the tomb.

"What do you think?"

"Follow the leader's orders!"

Everyone stood up, clasped their fists, and agreed.
