Ancient Rock: Imprint a Thousand Years, Carve All Things

This book is also titled "Runshu, Why Are There So Many Villains Around You? Oh, Turns Out I'm One Too"

A little spice-shop owner who had given up on ambition and started enjoying retirement early accidentally set off on a path with no return because of a bet.

In the Qiu Dragon Tomb, demons guarded the dead while Qiu Dragons coiled around the pillars. Gazing at the bronze locks and golden coffin in the distance, someone remarked, “Nine bronze dragon pillars lock the golden coffin. Once it touches the ground, you'll become an immortal.”

That was when I realized what they were after.

But at the same time, I met someone I never expected to see.

I looked at him and asked, “What's your name?”

“Wen Baisheng.”

When I heard the name, I smiled. No wonder he looked familiar. We'd actually met before.

Later, in the desert at the Desert King’s Tomb, I tossed him a package and grinned. “A little care package for you.”

He accepted it, completely baffled. Only after opening it did he discover it contained sunscreen, some candy, a dagger, and... drinks?

Even stranger, the candy and drinks were all his favorite brands and flavors.

As we visited more places, the truth became clearer and clearer.

So he was the mastermind behind it all?! So he was one of them?! So he was carrying a “curse”?!

Huh? Why are you all looking at me?

I'm just an ordinary little spice-shop owner. Later, I couldn't beat them, and even lost my shop.
