Chapter 1333: The ear of listening, the heart of six thieves
"Enough!"
Li Ergou's face was ashen, he gritted his teeth and muttered, and looked at Liu Shiba with sideways eyes.
Cuihua happened to walk back to Liu Shiba, Li Ergou and Solanta at this time. When she heard this, she said curiously:
"What, that's enough?"
"Nothing."
Li Ergou waved his hand and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, a look of solemnity on his face.
Cuihua seemed to feel something unknown, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she said eagerly:
"Ergou, don't..."
Li Ergou turned around, looked at his old wife Cuihua, whom he had been with for many years, and said with a bitter smile:
"Many years ago, my father asked you and me if we had decided to add a stolen door - I said: yes!"
A trace of blush appeared on Cuihua's face, and she echoed as if recalling:
"I also said: Yes."
"Um!"
Li Ergou's face was still so ugly, but he showed a touch of tenderness that he had never seen before, looking straight at Cuihua...
"Master? What's wrong with you?"
Cuihua asked in confusion.
Li Ergou shook his head, then looked back at Liu Shiba, and said solemnly:
"My husband and I are free to follow my father and follow your grandfather Liu Shiliu's sect.
When I was eighteen years old, Cuihua and I became husband and wife, and officially joined the robber family and entered the ninth stream."
Cuihua looked at her man with a smile and echoed:
"No regrets in this life."
Liu Shiba lowered his head and sighed: "Uncle Ergou, I'm sorry..."
"never mind!"
Li Ergou waved his hand and continued:
"On the first day of being a thief, your grandfather told me and my wife that if you join the ninth stream, you will enter the 360th line, and you will also be considered a world..."
"whee!"
Cuihua rolled her eyes at Li Ergou and added with a sweet smile:
"Three hundred and sixty years later, the number one scholar among the thieves is you, Liu Shiba."
Liu Shiba's eyes widened suddenly, pointing at himself and saying:
"Am I considered a loser? Number one scholar..."
"snort!"
Li Ergou rolled his eyes at Liu Shiba and said angrily:
"This is qualifications, you know? Just like the current Warring States Period in Japan.
Why historically, in the decisive battle between the Toyotomi family and the Tokugawa family at the Battle of Osaka, Katsunaga Mori, the most fierce and deadly general of the Tokugawa army, fought back.
His reputation and prestige are not as good as those of the Chosogabu and Sanada Yukimura who are greedy for life and fear of death?"
As expected, Cuihua was so sweet that she immediately helped her husband explain the next sentence:
"Because, Mouri Katsunaga doesn't have a good father or a strong family to back him up."
"All right."
Liu Shiba understood the cause and effect and agreed with Li Ergou's explanation.
The meaning expressed by Ergou is very obvious: because you have a good grandpa and a good father, you are: the number one in stealing!
Li Ergou slowly walked up to Liu Shiba, looked directly into his eyes, showed a cautious expression, and said in a deep and slow tone:
"Enter the world, return to the thieves' sect, follow your heart, and strictly guard your love..."
Cuihua also echoed:
"When you enter the martial arts world and return to the thieves' sect, you must follow your heart and abide by your righteousness..."
"Wow!"
Hearing this, Liu Shiba recalled the scenes of Li Ergou and his wife accompanying him through life and death.
There is also the tragic death of Li Dafu, Ergou’s biological father...
Liu Shiba could not help but feel sad in his heart. He stood up straight, folded his hands into fists and bowed deeply:
"Eighteen, on behalf of my grandfather and father, I would like to thank Uncle Ergou and Aunt Cuihua for their persistence and their many years of protection."
Li Ergou and Cuihua looked at each other and nodded at the same time...
"Eighteen! You are now the inheritor of the Six Thieves, and you shoulder a huge mission."
"I understand!"
Liu Shiba nodded carefully.
"Go ahead! Ergou, I'll give you a break..."
Cuihua looked at Li Ergou, then at Liu Shiba, and then shouted to Solanta, who looked confused:
"Foreign devil, follow me and look around, don't let anyone eavesdrop."
"OK."
Solanta looked at Li Ergou and Liu Shiba with confusion, then agreed happily, picked up her well-made 38-inch cap with a scope, and left with Cuihua to inspect the surroundings.
……………………
Be quiet all around...
Li Ergou looked at Liu Shiba and sighed:
"Actually! Everything is a game. We are all in the game and can't get rid of it..."
Liu Shiba showed a hint of horror and said in amazement:
"What situation? Are you saying that our coming to Japan during the Warring States Period was premeditated?"
"That's right!"
Li Ergou nodded, narrowed his eyes and said strangely:
"Don't you realize it's too much of a coincidence? Starting from the Zen Stone Sea, every step we take is a perfect coincidence.
Why is it just the old crow's mouth? Why is it just the landscape ditch? Why can we come from Guanxiangtang to this era that is not linked to any of us?
Why was it that after defeating the Tokugawa Army in the First World War, many of the surrounding daimyo were as silent as the sea, with no movement at all?
Why did the Hanyang-made modern rifles that were more advanced than the Peruvian guns spring up in the surrounding cities after they appeared outside?"
"yes……"
Liu Shiba touched his forehead and echoed:
"It seems! Are you waiting for us on purpose?"
What are you waiting for?
Thinking of this, Liu Shiba's mind suddenly opened up. He stared at Li Ergou with a sudden realization and said in surprise:
"They are waiting for us to find out this mysterious underground palace built by Xu Fu?"
"Maybe, that's the real situation."
Li Ergou nodded.
"But why?"
Liu Shiba was confused.
"Because, only you can find the entrance to this underground palace..."
There was a hint of ferocity on Li Ergou's face.
"I still don't understand?"
Liu Shiba was at a loss.
Li Ergou smiled sinisterly, turned sideways and pulled Liu Shiba to the city wall, pointed to the wilderness outside the city wall, and sneered:
"Because, among the eighteen Mojin captains that Cao Cao gathered, your grandfather was not the only one who escaped and survived."
Liu Shiba was shocked and said:
"How is this possible, anyway?"
"Well! Which of these top military captains, themselves and their descendants, are not world-famous people?
It's a pity that the thing they dream of most is only available to your grandfather, or in other words, only you..."
Li Ergou said, looking sideways at Liu Shiba.
Liu Shiba's eyes bulged, and he said in surprise:
"I? What do I have? Don't I know?"
"hehe."
Li Ergou chuckled, put his mouth close to Liu Shiba's ear, and whispered:
"The ears that listen carefully, the hearts of the six thieves..."
Liu Shiba looked surprised and whispered in confusion:
"I know about stealing hearts, but what is this listening ear?"
Li Ergou smiled lightly and explained:
“In the tomb robbing business, one of the most difficult and technical aspects that tests one’s patience is locating the tomb.
After the general coordinates of the tomb are completely determined, it will be time for the great masters of magical powers and the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers..."
Liu Shiba was dumbfounded, making gestures in the palm of his hand and saying:
"Who do you refer to with your magical powers?"
Li Ergou patted Liu Shiba on the shoulder, with an unusually sharp tone in his voice, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Eighteen Mojin Colonels are all good and bad, each one performs his own duties and is unique in his role.
But among them, the triggering condition for these people to display their respective talents is your grandfather: Six Thieves Listen!"
