  Seeking Dragon's Envoy? I've never heard of this title before. From my grandfather's stories, the tomb raiders are divided into four major schools: Mò Jīn (Touching Gold), Xiè Lǐng (Removing Ridge), Fā Qiū (Releasing Hill) and Bān Shān (Moving Mountain). These four schools already encompass all the principles of tomb raiding. No matter how many other titles there may be, they can't escape these four categories. Later, I heard my grandfather say that since tomb raiding has become a sunset industry, the leaders of these four major schools have long since converted to legitimate businesses and no longer engage in this shady trade.

  Secondly, there are also the Nanpai's Taosha Gang and Tufu Zimen, which also represent the tomb raiding level of the Southern School, but they don't have as many rules and mainly focus on spiritual theories, and aren't well-known to many people.

  However, just a few years ago, there was news that shocked the entire grave-robbing community. The leaders of the four major northern factions and the two major southern factions were all killed on the same day. Their bodies were secretly sent back to their respective factions, but the treasures they had brought out disappeared without a trace. It was precisely because of this that the six major grave-robbing factions in the north and south went silent for a long time.

  The rules of the rivers and lakes, killing your sect leader, taking away the treasure of the sect, are all signs of extermination. After all this happened, if you still don't disband the sect, everyone in the sect will definitely die. Therefore, five of the six major sects collectively disbanded, and the Six Tombs Thieves also disappeared from then on.

  In the end, only San Shu, the leader of Tusha Gang, survived, but his treasured Tuo Luo shovel also disappeared. From then on, he wandered around Jianghu and never returned to the gang or engaged in tomb raiding again. Many people wanted to ask him what had happened that day, but he remained tight-lipped.

  The Xunlong Sect also appeared at that time, because apart from the six major sects of grave robbers at that time, there was only this mysterious Xunlong Sect. Later, people speculated that it must have been the Xunlong Sect that lured the leaders of the six sects and killed them all to seize the treasure and return the corpses, in order to dominate the tomb raiding world and lead the heroes. However, no matter how people guessed, the Xunlong Sect also disappeared like the six major sects, completely unlike what people had speculated. Therefore, this incident left a mystery in the entire tomb raiding world.

  Grandpa didn't mention the Xunlong Sect much to me, and when he did, he just said it was a bunch of riffraff who couldn't accomplish anything significant. Just hearing the name made it clear that it was a group of uncultured and ignorant people.

  Now sitting in the Western Zhou tomb, I actually heard Lin Ruoshui mention this school, which made me even more curious. What kind of people are the Longxun School and the Longxun Envoy? Are Lin Ruoshui and Wu Liuqi those Longxun Envoys?

  To me, their identities have added another layer of mystery. Now I feel that they are not simple at all. Walking with them will definitely lead to more exciting and fun adventures. Handing them over to the police seems a bit too cruel, but thinking about it, I've already promised Luo Zheng, and it's not good to go back on my word. Everything has put me in a deep dilemma.

  "Are you okay?" He quietly and gently shook me awake, I was just too engrossed in thought, completely forgetting everything here.

  Wu Liu Qi had already stuffed the bronze head into his own pocket, and then he stomped something on the ground with force. After a while, he pointed to a place, and Lin Ruo Shui took out that extendable trowel again and started digging on the ground.

  "When are we going to catch them?" he whispered quietly in my ear.

  "Arrest them? Why arrest them?" I asked back.

  "Have you forgotten your mission? Now they've already admitted to stealing the Xinghou Gui, and are now tomb raiders, who knows what else they'll steal next. Looking at their skills over the past two years, and our injuries, I'm afraid we won't even have the ability to catch them." Momo said quietly.

  She's telling the truth, first her then me, it seems like we were both injured in a premeditated manner, and underestimated everything that happened in this tomb. They completely gave up on us, originally they were supposed to help them, but now it seems like I need their help more.

  "Luō duì gave me instructions, if it really doesn't work out, just shoot them on the spot and say they resisted arrest." Mòmò said quietly as she grabbed my hand and gently placed it on her waist. I seemed to have touched something hard, my first reaction was that it was a handgun.

  "How did you bring this thing here? Have you ever fired a gun?" I asked somewhat nervously.

  "When I was in police school, of course, I learned it, but this is the first time I've faced a person with a gun, so I'm a bit nervous." Mo said quietly, and at the same time, I also felt her trembling hands, as if she was trying to control her emotions.

  "Don't do that, absolutely don't fire carelessly. We still have to continue on our way ahead. If you fire now, we won't have any evidence left. Wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer." I comforted Mo quietly, and at the same time, my heart also became tense, with big beads of sweat occasionally appearing on my forehead.

  Lin Ruoshui suddenly threw the trowel in her hand to Wu Liuqi and quickly walked towards me, looking very angry. I wonder if she just heard my conversation with Mo Mo? Instantly, I tightly grabbed Mo Mo's hand, and she also put her other hand on her waist.

  Lin Ruo Shui quickly squatted down in front of me, reached into her bosom and pulled out something. I was startled and almost blurted out "I'm a police officer", but when I saw that it was just a handkerchief, my mood relaxed as well.

  "It must be very painful, Wu Liu Qi said he forgot to tell you that this medicine will stop the bleeding and pain at first, but after half an hour, when the medicinal properties start to take effect and heal the wound, it will become unbearably painful. Look at your sweat, you must have been enduring a lot of hardship." Lin Ruo Shui said while wiping my forehead with the handkerchief, her eyes filled with concern.

  I was almost stunned by Lin Ruoshui, who is now like an angel. She is so close to me that I can almost see the dirt on her face and the white teeth in her slightly open mouth. What brand of toothpaste does she use? Will it be Tianqi like mine? If so, she must look great when saying those two words "Tianqi". I'm already fascinated.
