Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 37 Stone Tomb Pond

"Hello, Uncle Xu, I'm Ye Xinran, and these two are my younger brother Huang Li and younger sister Jiesheng." As soon as Xinran sat down, she took the initiative to introduce us.Jiesheng and I hurriedly saluted Xu Teng and said hello.

"Hi, you don't have to be rigid, just call me Uncle Teng." Xu Teng poured tea for us, nodded his head, and said straight to the point, "You must have some intentions when you come here. Tell me what you think."

Xinran roughly told the story of leaving Linzi and returning to Anshan.

After hearing this, Xu Teng was thoughtful, silent for a while, and said: "I have heard about the tomb of the king of Chu, but one thing, can you be sure that the old man went to the tomb of the king of Chu? This is not a joke Yes, how sure are you?"

After hearing this, several of us looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.In the final analysis, it is just our speculation that Mr. Qi went to the tomb of the king of Chu. If we want to say how likely it is, we really can't say.

Seeing this, Xu Teng continued: "Guys, I have something to say first. From time to time, when the old man and Zhao Longyu were here, they only needed to show their faces, and the partnership could be done. That's because Their influence is there, and everyone is watching their faces. Right now, there are only you, and those people are all profit-seeking desperadoes. If you want to persuade them to cooperate, you have to be able to throw out enough temptations, take Give enough benefits."

"Uncle Teng, to be honest, we really don't know much about the rules here. But grandpa said that he can find you for something, and you are trustworthy. I believe in grandpa's vision, so I hope to entrust you with full authority on this matter Deal with it." Xin Ran said sincerely.

"You girl!" Xu Teng sipped his tea and said with a smile, "I did promise some things to the old man, and I also received a lot of benefits. But what the old man entrusted to me was not to help you go to the grave. Originally, Zhao Longyu was gone, Some things have already been resolved. But now the old man is in danger again, after all, I can't take those benefits for nothing, how many people do you need?"

Xu Teng's words left us at a loss.As for how many people are needed, we don't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that we were not talking, Xu Teng smiled and said, "Well, I will contact you today and find four experienced veterans from my hands. In addition, let my assistant Lao Cheng be with you. It can also deter these people. As for the things in the tomb, just follow the old rules, and I will share [-]%."

Seeing that he agreed, we were also overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.Now that there are manpower, the matter of finding old Qi can be regarded as a clue.

"Uncle Teng, when can we leave here?" Xin Ran asked again.

Xu Teng leaned back and said, "It's up to you. You will be ready in the afternoon. It's just that the tomb of King Chu is in Wuyang County, and it's hidden in a deep pool. If you want to go down, you need diving equipment. You'd better prepare early and tell me when you leave, so that I can let them join you."

After thanking Xu Teng again, we left the teahouse and returned to the old house.

As soon as I entered the door, Xinran and Jiesheng gave me the heavy responsibility of preparing the equipment. I bargained and got 5 yuan from Xinran as the preparation fund.

The diving equipment for this trip to the tomb is essential, and we use it ourselves, so I try to choose the best quality.I looked through the store recommendations several times, and finally ordered eight sets of equipment that cost a few thousand yuan more. Looking at the reduced numbers on the card, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my stomach.

Most of the other equipment was prepared according to the previous list. Following the principle of proximity, we gave priority to purchasing from stores in the province, but this time we did not order the Luoyang shovel, so there is a high probability that we will not need it for underwater operations.In addition, I changed the brand of the engineer shovel and ordered a few more to avoid the embarrassment of being broken halfway and having no shovel available like last time.

After ordering the equipment, all that is left is a long wait.

Fortunately, three days later, the last batch of diving equipment has arrived, and now the only thing left is to meet with Uncle Teng's staff.

We called Uncle Teng, and within an hour, a slightly larger commercial van stopped at the door of the old house.It seems that this trip has to drive to the destination by itself.

Five people got out of the car, except for the leader who was slightly older, who looked about 50 or [-] years old, and the other four were all in their thirties, with strong bodies and capable actions. in the car.

"Three, let's go then?" The leader greeted with a smile, and then introduced, "I'm Gai Cheng, a few of you call me Lao Cheng, and these four are the ones chosen by Master Teng. Qi, Chen Xiaoyun, Xu Mao, and Guo Yu are all first-rate players, Tang Qi is from Wuyang, so he is very familiar with that place."

When Gai Cheng introduced, the four of them stood behind in a row, with no expression on their faces, as if what they said had nothing to do with them.

We briefly introduced ourselves and got into the car.

It takes nearly four hours to drive from Luoyang to Wuyang County, Luohe.Chen Xiaoyun was driving all the way ahead, and the others were dozing off on the seats. I wanted to chat with Xinran and the others, but because of the awkward atmosphere, it was difficult for me to speak.

Then I couldn't hold it anymore, I patted Gai Cheng in front of me, and said softly: "Uncle Cheng, you said earlier that there is a person from Wu Yang, can you ask him to tell about the tomb of King Chu, and what local rumors and stories there should be?" Bar?"

"Tang Qi, how much do you know about the tomb of the King of Chu we went to this trip? Say a few words, so everyone will listen to it." Gai Cheng said to Tang Qi who was sitting on the left.

Tang Qi sat up straight and opened his mouth. This was the first time he heard him speak since he got in the car: "The tomb of the king of Chu is very famous in our place. We have a ruins of Dongbutang City. The old Outside the city wall is a moat called Shahe. According to legend, there is a deep pool under this river. At the bottom of the pool is a stone tomb. The owner of this stone tomb is King Chuping, so this deep pool is also called Stone Tomb Pool. "

"What? This tomb of King Chu is King Ping of Chu?" Hearing this, I couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly confirmed, "Is it King Chu Ping who was whipped by Wu Zixu?"

"That's right! It's King Chu Ping. According to legend, Wu Zixu cut off the Shahe River, drained the stone tomb pool, pried open the tomb of King Chu Ping, dragged the corpse out of the tomb, and whipped the corpse three hundred times." Tang Qi added.

Xin Ran suddenly asked: "If this is the case, wouldn't the tomb of King Chu be opened long ago?"

Tang Qi continued: "It is said that Wu Zixu just whipped the corpse three hundred times and did not touch the things in the tomb. I heard when I was young that someone fished in the Shahe River and touched a piece of gold from Chu State. Later, I heard that it was melted." I made more than ten bracelets."

Hearing this, I am even more convinced that the bottom of the pool is indeed the tomb of the king of Chu, and the gold plate Tang Qi mentioned should be Ying Yuan of Chu State, an ancient gold coin.

"It's strange. It's not common to use the bottom of a pond as a tomb. From the perspective of Feng Shui, it's a lot of talk." Jiesheng's focus is really strange.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qi suddenly smiled and said: "There is really a story. It is interesting to tell it. It is said that King Ping of Chu was a tyrant who ignored political affairs and was licentious. He only got a son when he was old, so He treats the prince as the apple of his eye, and is extremely pampered. He usually obeys the prince in everything. So when the prince grows up, he is arrogant and domineering. When he was dying, he called the prince to his side. King Chu Ping knew that his son would always play against him. The high hill to the west of the imperial city is a treasure land of geomantic omen. If he said it clearly, his son would have buried him in the pool of Shahe So I intentionally left my last words and buried myself in the pool of Shahe River. Unexpectedly, the crown prince suddenly became enlightened, saying that he had been against his father all his life, and now that his father is gone, he will fulfill his father's wish this time. Finally King Ping of Chu was really buried under the deep pool of the Shahe River."
