Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 12 Re-entering the Tomb of King Xiao

When everyone heard about it, they understood what was going on.Seeing that Xinran answered for me, I quickly said hello to the three senior brothers.They also briefly introduced themselves in turn.It turned out that the tall and strong one was Lu Yuan, and the other was Su Heluo.

Then our group of five set off towards Zhaole Village.

Compared with the trip the day before yesterday, this time it was much easier, at least I didn't carry any weight.Plus talking and laughing with Xinran all the way, it doesn't look boring.

But along the way, I also discovered one thing.When I was joking with Xinran, Su Heluo always glanced here intentionally or unintentionally, with a bit of hostility in his eyes. It seems that Xinran is quite popular.

I thought the three of them would enter the village with me and Xinran, but before they reached the village, Zhao Longyu led the other two to change directions.Said to avoid being too ostentatious, Master asked them to detour through the village and wait for us at the foot of the mountain.

After the three of them walked away, I asked Xinran in a low voice, "What's wrong with this?"

"Master arranged, come with me." Xin Ran gestured for me to follow him.

She led me to the other side, which was a winding mountain road, and it was not the direction to enter the village.After walking for about ten minutes, a white-haired old man wearing sunglasses suddenly appeared on the side of the road ahead, sitting on a stone with his legs crossed.I took a closer look and found that it was the old fortune-teller I saw at the village head's house that day.

"Grandpa!" Xin Ran ran straight to him after seeing him.

The old man touched Xinran's head, then looked at me: "Young man, we meet again."

"Hello Mr. Qi, I haven't thanked you for saving my life last time." I took a few steps forward and bowed to him.

Even if we only talk about the relationship between me and Xinran, he is definitely my elder, not to mention he has the grace of detoxification and saving lives, no matter how you say it, he deserves my respect.

"It seems that Xinran has mentioned me to you." Elder Qi said with a smile, and then said, "The last time I saw you, I felt that I was destined for you. Look, we met again so soon."

The old Qi in front of me spoke in an amiable manner, but I didn't dare to neglect the slightest, and hurriedly replied: "You are right, there is indeed a predestined relationship."

In fact, I have many questions in my mind at this moment, but for a while, I don't know where to start and how to speak.

I can't fathom this old Qi's way of doing things.Everything he did, from letting Xinran contact me, to concealing my identity from other brothers and sisters, and now sending them away, all these made me puzzled.

It seemed that I was tense all the time, so Mr. Qi smiled and told me not to be restrained.

He took out a pipe, filled it with tobacco leaves several times, lit it, took a puff, and then slowly opened his mouth again: "To tell you the truth, I stayed in the village to find a ruin. A It's been many weeks, and I haven't found any clues. But you just came here for a day, and you found it." At this point, he took another puff, and stopped talking.

"You're talking about the leash, right?" I took the initiative to answer.

He nodded and said, "Do you know what that is?"

"Yan Guo Yulezi." I said tentatively,

After hearing what I said, Mr. Qi was a little surprised, and said, "You know that it belongs to the Yan Kingdom, so do you know the origin of this thing?"

To be honest, I really don't know much about the origin of this thing.

The mural on the tomb of King Xiao depicts that this thing came from a treasure box in the dragon’s lair, but as a staunch materialist, I naturally don’t believe in ghosts, gods, ghosts and immortals. What is a dragon?No one has ever seen it.

"I really don't know, please enlighten me."

Elder Qi just shook his head, saying that it was too early to say something.

Elder Qi doesn't want to say it, and I have nothing to do.But thinking that he dismissed those three people and still didn't say anything at this moment, he couldn't understand what he meant even more.

"Don't think too much. When the time comes, I will tell you. Now I have to trouble you to lead the way. Let's explore the reality of that place together." Elder Qi stood up with Xin Ran's support, and patted me, " You can change your words in a while."

"Don't worry!" I agreed.

I guess what he meant was that the acting should be more realistic. My current status is as a junior apprentice, so naturally I have to be more particular about the way I call it. It is really inappropriate to call it old Qi verbally.At that time, he will be called Master in front of everyone, and the three will be called Uncle Yu, Brother Luo and Brother Yuan.

After explaining, he didn't say anything more.The three of us walked along this mountain road for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain west of Huya Peak, where the three senior brothers were already waiting.

When those three people saw Mr. Qi, they all respectfully visited and saluted.Elder Qi just waved his hand, motioning for me to lead the way first.In this way, a group of five of us officially set foot on Huya Peak.

Thinking about walking here with Ah Fei just two days ago, and even seeing some footprints and footprints left along the way, it feels quite different.

Mr. Qi has been walking behind me. Although he is quite old, he climbs the mountain road as if walking on the ground, and his steady pace even makes me feel ashamed.Xin Ran followed behind Elder Qi, and the three of Zhao Longyu were the ones who walked last.

In this way, we went all the way up to the giant stone platform, and I led them to change direction and head eastward.Then he walked around for a long time, and the surrounding scenes became familiar.

I took them to the place where A Fei and I used the Luoyang shovel to dig holes, and there were still circular hole marks on the ground there.

"Junior brother, is this your handwriting?" The hole in this place is indeed too eye-catching, Su Heluo, who was walking behind, saw that I brought them here, and asked suddenly.

I didn't know how to answer, so I had to smile awkwardly.After all, in the eyes of their experts, the hole we made should be regarded as a joke.I have heard people say that the masters of this way can easily find out the location of the tomb and shovel at the most suitable position.

Elder Qi didn't pay much attention to these holes. Instead, he walked down the slope a few steps and looked in the direction of the entrance of the tomb with a thoughtful expression on his face.Xinran supported Elder Qi and waved in my direction.

I leaned over, pointed to them, and said, "Then a little further down is the entrance to the tomb and the robbery hole. They were built horizontally. They were already there when I came here. They must have been robbed not long ago. "

Xin Ran let out an "ah" when she heard it, and looked in the direction I pointed.On the contrary, Mr. Qi was very calm. He looked at me and said, "This is the tomb of the Han Dynasty. I was touched when I came last time."

Hearing this, I was taken aback immediately, I dare to believe that Mr. Qi had been to this tomb before me.Originally, I wanted to pretend that Nalezi was found on the murals in the tomb, but if Mr. Qi had entered the tomb, then this theory would obviously not work.

Just when I was considering whether to tell him Le Zi's true origin.

Xinran who was on the side suddenly asked: "Grandpa, have you ever gone in here?"

Qi Lao said that when he first came here, he noticed that the feng shui here is very good.He found this tomb when stepping on the position. He only entered the front room and found that it was a Han tomb that had been touched, so he left directly.

Hearing that Mr. Qi had only entered the front room, I breathed a sigh of relief.If you really want to tell the story of this Lezi from the beginning, even if I am willing to say it, I am afraid that Mr. Qi may not believe it.

Right now, I just need to explain clearly about the Lezi and the Han tomb, and let them figure out the whole story by themselves.

Afterwards, with Elder Qi's consent, I called those three senior brothers over, and they sat around and listened to me tell the general experience of exploring the tomb here the day before yesterday.

It's just that regarding the part of Lezi, I lied that I found it in a pit on the mural, while the other two pits were empty when they were discovered.I saw that the leash looked good, so I strung it up with the rope I carried with me and put it on my hand.

Besides, I didn't say anything about Ah Fei and the box of funeral seals.I just lied that I passed out after walking down the mountain, and it was the villagers who brought me back to the village.

I believe that since Mr. Qi and Xinran are willing to forge their identities for me, they will not expose the matter about A Fei. After all, the existence of A Fei will make the claim that Mr. Qi accepts me as an apprentice more suspicious.

"It turned out to be Liu Jianglu's tomb, which is interesting." Mr. Qi said after hearing it, and he really didn't expose me.

Su Heluo on the other side also spoke: "Historically, Zhou Yafu quelled the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. The next one didn't participate, and the fiefdom is in Linzi. It seems that he is indeed Qi Xiaowang Liu Jianglu. I just didn't expect him The tomb is actually buried in this mountain."

"I'd like to know, the younger brother just said that there was a humming sound in the main tomb at the end, what is that?" a muffled voice asked suddenly, I looked over there, and it turned out that it was sitting beside Zhao Longyu Lu Yuan.

"In my opinion, that voice should be the hallucination of the younger brother. He was stabbed by the fragrant corpse poisonous scorpion at that time, so it is not surprising that he had hallucinations." Su Heluo laughed.

In fact, I know very well that the humming sound that sounded in the main tomb at the end was by no means a hallucination, because I was the only one who was poisoned at that time, but Ah Fei also heard that sound.But at this moment, I can't say this, because I didn't mention A Fei from the beginning to the end of my description.

Elder Qi did not answer Lu Yuan's question, but said lightly: "It seems that the clues are still in the tomb, let's go to the main tomb to have a look."

Seeing that Mr. Qi had spoken, several of them got up to pack their things, happily made faces at me, and then turned around to help Mr. Qi get up.

After a while, I led them to the pit.Elder Qi roughly arranged the sequence for a while.

Zhao Longyu and Su Heluo were at the front, followed by Mr. Qi, Xinran and I followed behind him, and Lu Yuan was at the end.

The few of us got into the narrow little soil hole in front of us one after another.

Thinking about the experience last time, I still feel a little scared in my heart.But fortunately, there are so many people together this time, and they are all masters in the Tao, so I feel a little relieved.

I have to say that they are indeed much better than me and A Fei.The chain of flipping pits that scared us before, the two leaders just walked by without looking at them.When I walked to the front room, I found the backpack that A Fei had dropped before. It contained some of my equipment, which was just in use this time.

Maybe it was because I said that there was nothing valuable left in the ear chambers on both sides. The two leaders didn't enter the ear chambers at all, but took us straight to the main tomb.

With trepidation, I stepped into the main tomb again.

As soon as the leader Zhao Longyu came in, he went straight to the coffin, took out a bottle of white things from his bag, and sprinkled it on the coffin.

"What are you doing?" I patted Xinran beside me and asked in a low voice.

"The scorpion that stung you last time is called the Fragrant Corpse Poisonous Scorpion. It lives in the interlayer between the inner and outer coffins. Because in ancient times, spices were put in the interlayer before burial, and that thing survived on spices and corpse aura. The temperature is very sensitive. You said earlier that when you reached in to get something, those scorpions jumped out, and they felt your temperature." Xin Ran pointed over there again, and continued: "Uncle Yu sprinkled scorpion poison powder, which is specially designed to That thing, those scorpions won’t dare to come out after sprinkling it.”

After listening to her explanation, I suddenly realized and gave her a thumbs up.It seems that there is a huge difference between professional and amateur.

At the moment, Lu Yuan and Zhao Longyu are packing things into the coffin, Su Heluo is studying the big stone tablet, while Qi Lao has been staring at the mural near the wall, as if thinking about something.

I leaned over to Mr. Qi, pointed to the treasure box and the three small pits in the mural with the light of the flashlight, and indicated to him that it was here that I found Le Zi.

Elder Qi sighed and said: "Everything really has a definite number, what they haven't found is actually hidden here."

Old Qi's words made me a little confused.But he didn't intend to continue, instead he was groping for the small pits with his hands in front of the mural.

I looked back and saw that Xin Ran was standing by the coffin, watching those two people packing things.Seeing me light her with light, she also walked towards me.

"Hey, what did grandpa say?"

"I don't understand either. It seems that what they said they didn't find just now is hidden here. Who are they?"

He also shook his head with pleasure.

At this moment, the sound of "woo woo woo" that Ah Fei and I heard before sounded again in the tomb.The next second, I felt Xinran beside me grabbed my arm...
