My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

"Huo Xiu'er?" Hao Xie muttered, then frowned and thought in confusion, "Could she really come to see me? This girl."

He shook his head and pressed the connect button.

Huo Xiuer's pleasant voice came from the phone: "Hello, Brother Haoxie!"

Hao Xie smiled, put down the paper paste and the Secret Art of Paper Tie in his hands, picked up his phone and walked back to his room and asked, "Huo Xiu'er, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Oh, by the way, I heard from Uncle San that you came to me a few days ago? What's the matter that's so urgent?"

The voice on the phone sounded cheerful, so Hao Xie didn't think much about it and just thought it was Huo Xiu'er calling for fun.

However, the person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time before saying, "Brother Haoxie, I went to see Uncle Hao San a few days ago, and was about to go to see you, but something happened and I didn't go. Hehe, Brother Haoxie, you won't be angry, right?"

Hao Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought that if Huo Xiuer really came, he would have no place to stay.

Moreover, some supernatural things often happen in the inn now. They were all shocked when they first came, let alone a girl? If the hospitality is not good, they may be scolded by the old lady of the Huo family.

So he smiled and said, "Of course I'm not angry. It's the rainy season now, and the road here is not easy to walk. It will definitely be troublesome if you come."

After chatting for a while, Huo Xiuer suddenly asked, "If the road is not easy to travel, you can drive. I'm not walking. By the way, Brother Haoxie, I heard from Uncle Hao San that you don't rob tombs anymore? Then what about your family's inheritance? You are the only one in your Hao family!"

Hao Xie shook his head with amusement and said, "Whether it's tomb raiding or my current career, it's all for archaeology. Wouldn't it be better to take a path that's easier for archaeology?"

A sullen voice came from the other end of the phone, "Well, okay, but we found clues to King Kuiliang's tomb in Miaojiang and are planning to go take a look. Are you sure you don't want to come and take a look?"

"If King Kuiliang's tomb is really there, it would be a major historical discovery!" The voice was somewhat tempting.

"As an archaeology fan, this should be very important to you, right?" the other party continued to test.

Hao Xie frowned in confusion, glanced out the window, and then slowly spoke: "King Kuiliang's tomb? Or is it the clues found in Miaojiang? Are you going to Biancheng?"

He was well-versed in the strange stories of corpse-driving and had read about the tomb of Wutu, the King of Kuiliang.

This man was considered a local emperor among the Five Barbarians. Although he was not as famous as emperors such as Qin Shihuang, his tomb is of extremely high value in the archaeological world because it may contain unknown history.

However, Hao Xie's heart was full of doubts. Where did they get this clue from?
If it is given by someone else, then that person must have bad intentions.

After all, the Miao people are good at witchcraft, and the tomb of King Kuiliang is full of dangers.

Giving them this clue is tantamount to letting them be cannon fodder.

Huo Xiuer's voice on the phone was a little puzzled: "Yeah, how do you know it's Biancheng? Have you been there before?"

"Oh my God, could this be another tomb that has been visited by someone?" There was a hint of worry in her tone.

"Then wouldn't it be a waste of our trip?" Huo Xiu'er was obviously disappointed.

Hao Xie said sternly: "I have never been to this tomb, but I suggest you don't go there either. You can't get in at all, and you might even die there!"

"Ah?" Huo Xiu'er was very surprised. She asked in confusion, "Brother Haoxie, is what you said true? You haven't even been there, how do you know it's dangerous?"

"I heard that this clue is very reliable and there is no danger. You..." She obviously didn't believe what Hao Xie said.

"Are you trying to scare me?" Huo Xiuer continued to question, "Besides, although there was Gu magic in Miaojiang before, many people have been assimilated now. Who would still study this thing?"

"I think you're exaggerating!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.

Hao Xie touched his forehead helplessly and shook his head. Although he had never been there, in ancient times, a corpse-driving master had passed by there.

Those predecessors were all powerful people, and their names were recorded in “Strange Stories of Corpse Driving”.

If even they say it’s dangerous, then the degree of danger might be even more serious than what is recorded in writing!

He recalled the records in "Strange Tales of Corpse Driving" and explained: "Although King Kuiliang did not achieve much, he was very petty. Before he died, he raised many poisonous insects next to his tomb. One of them is called the death worm, which is a kind of annelid. Ordinary death worms are not scary, but legend has it that the worms raised by King Kuiliang are ten meters long and huge in size, and can easily swallow elephants. They are highly poisonous and will kill anyone who touches them. It is difficult for human power to resist. This creature will not move in spring and winter, but will wake up in the rainy season in summer and autumn. Now is the rainy season, and you can easily encounter them if you go at this time!"

"Tell me the truth, who told you the news about Kuiliang's tomb?" Hao Xie's tone revealed a hint of seriousness.

Huo Xiuer's voice on the phone sounded even more puzzled: "Death worm? The source of this news seems to be the Kyoto archaeological team. They have been there before, and it was not long ago, only about a month ago."

"Nothing happened to them?" She was obviously skeptical of Hao Xie's warning.

"By the way, I heard that one of the people who went there last time was from one of our Nine Gates. Her name seemed to be Chen Wenjin. Hehe, I heard that your third uncle had a crush on Aunt Wenjin when he was young." She tried to use this information to dispel Hao Xie's concerns.

"The information she gave me should be correct, right?" Huo Xiuer said with some confidence.

"Someone from the Nine Gates?" Hao Xie frowned. He didn't know much about the Nine Gates. He only knew that after the mysterious head of the family suddenly disappeared, the Nine Gates gradually faded out of people's sight.

It was only when Huo Xiuer mentioned the Nine Gates at this time that he remembered this relationship.

He looked at the phone worriedly and said earnestly, "Huo Xiu'er, I think you'd better not go. From what you said, it seems that the tomb has not been found yet. If the tomb has not been found, then the archaeological team that went there last time will be fine. But if you really find the tomb, it will be dangerous. There are not only this kind of terrible creatures in the Kuiliang Tomb, but also many poisonous insects and mechanisms that you can't even imagine. If you are not prepared in advance, it will be really dangerous if you encounter them!"

However, although Huo Xiu'er was skeptical, she couldn't help but want to explore it when she thought that it was the tomb of Kuiliang, the tomb of a generation of emperors.

For an archaeologist, the rewards of discovering the first tomb are absolutely unimaginable.

She thought to herself that Hao Xie said he had never been there, so she wondered where he got all these alarmist news from...

This made Huo Xiuer feel a little suspicious.

She wanted to ask about the source of Hao Xie's information, but when she saw the flight attendant approaching, she knew there was no time to ask, so she said, "Okay, Brother Hao Xie, don't worry about me. Don't worry, I will be fine! I'm on the plane now and will take off soon. Brother Hao Xie, let's not talk about it for now!"

Hao Xie wanted to give a few more instructions, but the phone had already been hung up.

He shook his head helplessly, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "This girl... I hope she didn't find the tomb. If she did... Hey! The senior in "Corpse Driving Strange Stories" said that there is something wrong with this place!"

……

At the same time, a plane at Tanzhou Airport was slowly approaching the runway. The flight attendant stood in the aisle and smiled as she reminded the girl in seat 37A: "Miss, the plane is about to take off. Please turn off your phone or turn on the flight mode on your phone."

The girl in seat 37A was Huo Xiuer. After hearing the stewardess's reminder, she smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll turn on the flight mode right away." After that, she switched her phone to flight mode and gestured to the stewardess.

"Thank you for your cooperation!" the flight attendant smiled and continued to check other passengers along the aisle.

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting next to Huo Xiuer asked curiously: "Xiao Huo, I just heard you say on the phone...what death worm?"

Huo Xiuer looked at the middle-aged man, shrugged and smiled: "Well, my friend... seems to know something about the Kuiliang Tomb. He reminded me to be careful. But it's okay, don't worry, I will never waver in my determination! This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is rare to encounter such an undiscovered tomb. If I can be the first to explore the Kuiliang Tomb, then my time in the past few years will not be wasted!"

She then asked, "Professor Jin, do you think there are death worms next to Kuiliang's tomb, as my friend said? I heard him say that these animals seem to be very large and dangerous, and they can eat an elephant in just a few seconds."

Professor Jin sneered disdainfully, waved his hand, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled complacently: "Haha! I don't know where your friend comes from, and I don't know where your friend heard this news, but I think your friend must be exaggerating. I have been doing archaeology for a lifetime, and I can clearly say that there is no need to worry this time. And your friend not only doesn't understand archaeology, but also doesn't understand biology! First of all, we have searched this tomb many times, and there are no surprises. Secondly, the death worm is a creature that appears in the Gobi Desert and the desert. It will definitely not appear in places like Miaojiang with high humidity and heavy rain. So your friend... Haha!"

Huo Xiuer frowned, a little unhappy, but still asked: "Why? Why can't this creature appear in places with high humidity and heavy rain?"

"I don't think my friend is lying to me," she insisted.

Professor Jin narrowed his eyes and smiled, then looked at Huo Xiuer and asked, "Has your friend been there?"

Huo Xiuer hesitated for a moment, then shook her head gently, "That may not be the case."

"Haha! You're so sure without having been there?" Professor Jin laughed again, "You know, the death worms hibernate. In spring and winter, they burrow underground and look for a dry environment to sleep."

"They only appear in seasons with abundant rainfall, and, due to geographical restrictions, they only exist in the north and will never appear in places like Miaojiang."

"Don't worry!"

"Besides, your friend hasn't been there himself and is just guessing. We have explored it so many times. You should know who to trust, right?"

Huo Xiuer shook her head helplessly, with a hint of resistance in her tone, "I don't think my friend is lying to me."

"only……"

"It's just that the truth may not be as exaggerated as he said."

"Maybe the death worm really exists, but it's not as big as he described. But it doesn't count as him lying, he's just concerned about my safety."

"Oh, okay, I won't say any more. The plane has taken off and I need to rest!"

After saying that, Huo Xiuer put on an eye mask, tilted her head, put on headphones, turned on the cached music, and began to take a nap.

Professor Jin on the side shook his head in amusement. When he heard the soft music coming from Huo Xiuer's headphones, he turned around and started chatting with his colleague next to him.

"Guess what Xiao Huo just said?"

"do not know."

"She said her friend warned her that there would be death worms where we were going."

"Pfft! Are you kidding me? Death worm? It's still unclear whether this thing exists or not. Even if it does exist, it must be in the north, right?"

"I asked Xiao Huo if her friend had been to that place. Xiao Huo said her friend hadn't been there, but she knew about it."

"Huh, is this really a friend? He knows what's there without even being there. Is he a god? Can he predict the future?"

"..."

The plane has taken off, and the music in Huo Xiuer's ears stimulates her nerves.

She was both excited and worried. She was excited because she was about to explore an undiscovered ancient tomb, but she was worried because what her friend Hao Xie said was true.

But she found it hard to believe that someone who had never been there could know so much about the place!

Shaking her head, Huo Xiuer stopped thinking and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

In the Yin Yang Inn, there was a table in the yard.

Fatty Wang was lying on the table, looking at the needle and hammer in Zhang Hao's hands with fear on his face.

Yesterday, Zhang Hao had already drawn a circle of tattoo outlines on his body. Just the outlines were enough to make Fatty Wang feel like he was dying.

Today he was going to tattoo a complete pattern, and Fatty Wang had already anticipated that the following process would not be easy.

Fatty Wang found it strange because normally, although it would hurt when pricked by a needle, it wouldn't hurt particularly much.

However, when I got the tattoo yesterday, it was really painful!
Zhang Hao clearly inserted the needles into his chest, but it seemed as if each needle pierced his bone marrow and his brain.

Fatty Wang even felt that it would be more convenient to throw him into the frying pan.

Despite this, Fatty Wang still decided to complete the tattoo!

At this time, as an employee of Yin Yang Inn, Hao Xie squatted aside and ate a cucumber while watching the show.

Even Zhang Qilin gave up practicing sword skills and came over to watch Zhang Hao's tattooing.

"Are you ready?" Zhang Hao touched the tip of the needle, then looked at Fatty Wang and asked.

Fatty Wang pouted, stiffened his neck, patted his chest and said, "Come on!" (End of this chapter)
