At this thought, Yang Yu couldn’t help but feel that the world can sotis be really unfair.
Bad people can brazenly kill soone, wipe out their entire family, while good people are plagued with all sorts of concerns.
However, fortunately there are worldly laws and the concept of karma to rely on; although bad people can get away with their deeds temporarily, they can’t succeed forever.
Every evil deed one commits will receive its due punishnt.
So when Yang Yu acts, he only seeks to have a clear conscience towards heaven and earth, and within his heart!
While Yanjing was still in chaos over the death of Li Chengyang, Yang Yu’s Tianhai City remained peaceful.
After dealing with Xuan Liu’s funeral, Yang Yu spent his ti showing Mrs. Ryde around Tianhai City.
Mrs. Ryde wasn’t overly interested in other areas, treating them as just sothing to pass through, but she was particularly interested in Yang Yu’s Xia dical Chinese Herbal dicine Research Institute, and she lingered there a long ti, "Yang Yu, are you sure these tree barks and roots can cure all kinds of diseases?"
Yang Yu replied, "Humans have always lived within nature, and many components of modern dicine are also extracted from various substances found in nature, so it’s normal for tree barks and roots to have healing properties."
"Moreover, the Yin Yang Five Elents theory of Xia dical practices is very consistent with a simplistic materialist worldview. Those who don’t understand it think it’s feudal superstition, but I believe it’s an advanced philosophy from ancient tis..."
Yang Yu spoke at length, and surprisingly, Mrs. Ryde, a foreigner, listened with great interest, occasionally asking a question or two.
It was evident that Mrs. Ryde also had a deep understanding of Xia Country’s traditional culture.
After listening to Yang Yu, Mrs. Ryde said with a smile, "Yang Yu, let’s collaborate. I’ll give you the overseas agency rights for these herbal dicines outside of Xia Country. What do you think?"
"Mrs. Ryde, I’m sorry, but we have our own overseas agents," Yang Yu said with a smile. "If you would like to collaborate, we can work on other projects."
"Is that so." Mrs. Ryde appeared sowhat disappointed, "Then we’ll have to look for another opportunity next ti."
Mrs. Ryde continued her tour with Yang Yu, and to his surprise, she actually recognized quite a few Chinese herbal dicines.
If Yang Yu were to believe that Mrs. Ryde hadn’t studied Xia dical practices, he’d be doubtful, "Mrs. Ryde, it seems that you’re quite familiar with what you call tree barks and roots?"
"I’ve read quite a lot of books. I’ve also read your Xia Country’s ’Hundred Herbs Scripture’ and ’Bencao Gangmu’," Mrs. Ryde said with a smile. "It’s just that, I haven’t studied them as deeply as you have."
Yang Yu casually asked, "What else from Xia Country have you studied?"
"I love reading your Xia Country’s tomb raiding novels," Mrs. Ryde said. "I’ve read all the famous tomb raiding novels. This ti, I wanted to see if there was a chance to beco a Tomb Raider Captain for once."
Yang Yu couldn’t help rolling his eyes, "Tombs are dangerous. It might be okay for Housekeeper Adam to go, but Mrs. Ryde, you should probably pass."
"Don’t underestimate , I’ve done plenty of howork," Mrs. Ryde said seriously. "Faqiu Seal, Tomb Raider Talisman, Moving Mountains and Unloading Ridges Dragon Seeking Formulas. ’Man lights a candle, ghosts blow out lamps’, ’Prospecting land, inverting a bucket to search for star peaks’..."
Yang Yu rolled his eyes again, "Those are just incantations, if simply reciting them worked, then anyone could be a Tomb Raider Captain."
"With you and Housekeeper Adam, what’s the harm in taking to broaden my horizons?" Mrs. Ryde said with a smile. "After all, don’t you even have the confidence to protect ?"
"Fine, fine," Yang Yu grunted, "But we need a tomb to explore in the first place, eh?"
Mrs. Ryde smiled slyly at Yang Yu, "Then you promise , if there’s another opportunity to explore a tomb, you must take with you."
"Okay, I promise you," Yang Yu said casually, not really believing that there were still so many ancient tombs left to plunder.
Apart from the real Emperor Qin’s Tomb, there were hardly any ancient tombs left to explore in Xia Country.
With so many archaeologists in Xia Country, did he really think they were incompetent?
Yang Yu was about to continue shopping with Mrs. Ryde when his phone rang; it was Long Jiutian calling.
"Could it be that the boss has found out I was pretending to be Li Rong?" Yang Yu muttered to himself as he picked up the call, "Captain Long, what’s up?"
"An ancient tomb from Ancient Shu has been discovered in the southwestern part of Xia Country, our people have already secured the area. You need to take the Xiao Family there imdiately, figure out the situation inside the tomb, and then we can send in the archaeological team," Long Jiutian instructed.
"This tomb could fill a cultural gap that lasted thousands of years for our country, the higher-ups are taking it very seriously. Apart from you and the tomb-raiding Xiao Family, I can’t think of anyone more suitable for the job," Long Jiutian added.
"An Ancient Shu tomb?" Yang Yu’s brows furrowed, "So, Ancient Shu really did exist!"
The Yin Yang Nine Mysterious Scripture also had records of Ancient Shu, although just a little bit, and from it, Yang Yu knew that it too was a once-glorious culture, coinciding with the Xia, Shang, and Zhou periods of Xia Country, eventually conquered by Qin.
Many in the West questioned the existence of the Xia Dynasty, and if they could study more of the Ancient Shu civilization, it indeed would be the best evidence for the civilization of the Xia Dynasty!
Protecting this ancient tomb was naturally very necessary.
Of course, Yang Yu could imagine that if this ancient tomb truly existed, it would be full of grave dangers.
"It’s probably real," Long Jiutian said, "Enough talk, I’ve booked your flight already. Don’t tell you’re still in Yanjing."
Long Jiutian’s words struck like a thunderbolt, and Yang Yu’s face twitched fiercely, then he quickly responded, "Li Rong ca looking for trouble with Selin, I got back the night before last. Unfortunately, Li Rong got away."
"Hmm, it’s fine. We’ll continue pursuing Li Rong, just take care of the task at hand," Long Jiutian said, "Go to the Xiao Family and find a couple of helpers, set off imdiately."
"By the way, Captain Long," Yang Yu’s hand was tugged a few tis by Mrs. Ryde, and he imdiately understood what was happening. He quickly said, "I promised a foreign friend that I’d take her tomb exploring with ..."
"As long as you can keep the situation under control, bring whover you want," Long Jiutian said. "This is an ancient tomb, not a base. It will be made public eventually, no need to avoid foreign friends."
"Great, thanks, Captain Long, I’m leaving right away." Yang Yu hung up the phone and turned to Mrs. Ryde, "I’m going to find a friend, and we’ll all go tomb exploring together."
Xiao Long, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Liang, father and sons, lit up at the prospect of exploring a tomb: "Mr. Yang, is it really an official tomb exploration... oh, not robbery?"
"Yes," Yang Yu replied, "It could be dangerous, so just one of the three of you coming along with will be enough."
"If you need soone experienced, I’ll go," Xiao Long offered. "I haven’t flexed my muscles in places like that for a while, my hands are itching. If you don’t need soone experienced, then just bring one of these kids to get so exposure," he said.
"Though we’ve turned over a new leaf now, we mustn’t lose the skills passed down from our ancestors!"
