"Dead?"
"Dead. And it won't be coming back to life again."
"Good, good, good. When I get back, I'll burn a letter to the Great Ancestor. I'm sure the old man, after hearing this, will slap his thigh and say 'well done!' I sure did my part. Saw it with my own eyes, worth it."
"Lord Zhu, you're heading back already?"
"Yep, sneaked over here without even telling the Scorching Sun Department. If the Minister of Guanzhong County finds out, that guy will for sure give me that Sima face and complain in front of me every day. Now that I've seen the action, better slip away."
Lord Zhu dove into the tomb again, and the little ghost who hadn't left quietly sidled up to Wen Yan.
"Thanks a ton for saving my neck, bro. I don't got much else going for me besides digging. If you ever need me, just find an old grave nobody worships anymore and give me a call, I promise I'll be there in a flash."
