If the book wasn't here, where would it be? Why would it bring us to this deadly place to tease us? And the coffins in front of me really made my brain tense and my forehead cold.

"If you're not here to find a book, why come to such a place?" Da Kui stared at the gloomy surroundings, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Waiting for someone!"

Lao Huang stared at the front.

"Who?"

I asked him.

But as soon as the voice fell, I heard that there seemed to be some movement in the backyard. Lao Huang cautiously led us out and pushed open a door inside, which was the backyard. Almost all the wooden buildings here have a backyard. The front is a shop, and the backyard is where people live, and it is also very quiet.

"He's here."

Lao Huang stood in the middle of the yard.

It's strange to say, why are those coffins placed in the front hall, while the backyard is very spacious. There are obviously signs of fire on the ground, but it is not very obvious and is full of dust.

Sure enough, in the backyard, I saw a man in his early twenties, who looked quite energetic. The man was not in a hurry, looking for something around the courtyard. He was also a little surprised to see us suddenly breaking in.

"Who are you?"

I asked quickly. It was really hard to understand why we came to this place.

The man looked at us, then stared at Lao Huang, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, the man said puzzledly, "Today the boss asked me to come here, saying that someone would come here. Could it be you?"

"Boss?"

We looked at each other.

"Wang Yishan, the boss of Jinshi Pavilion!" The man answered slowly.

Jinshi Pavilion is at the crossroads at the east end of the town. It is a little more prosperous there. After all, it is on the main traffic road. No matter whether you go north or south, you have to pass through this place.

Jinshi Pavilion has only appeared there in recent years. No one had heard of it before. It's just that the boss behind it is said to have made a fortune by digging gold and ran many times in the early years.

To be honest, this boss could make a fortune anywhere, so why did he come to this remote place?

Later, I heard that the boss found out that this place was a good place for Feng Shui.

As soon as we arrived, the man invited us in and brewed tea.

"Where is your boss?"

Old Huang asked straight to the point.

"Take a break, I'll call the boss out." The man walked into the inner room after saying that.

It seems that this boss has really seen the world. Although this is a reception hall, the layout, from gold and stone jade to wild animal fur, bones, and even live specimens in the mountains, are all displayed.

My eyes were attracted by the owner under the bookcase on the side. It seemed to be an ornament, but a closer look showed that it was taken from the deep mountains.

It was a mountain cat!

It is not surprising that there are a few in this mountain, but the mountain cat's eyes are actually dark green, like gems, staring at us.

It seems that it will pounce on us in the next second.

"Ahem——"

Suddenly a man came out from the inner room. The man was tall and burly, about forty years old, weathered, but very dark, and you could tell at a glance that he worked outdoors all year round.

"Hey, Master Huang."

The man saw Old Huang as soon as he came over, and hurried to greet him.

"It's you."

Old Huang was a little surprised. It turned out that Old Huang and Wang Yishan had known each other more than ten years ago. At that time, Wang Yishan almost took Old Huang's life. Fortunately, it was all misunderstandings. There are many stories to tell.

However, later, Wang Yishan was said to have left the town to venture north, saying that if he didn't make a name for himself, he would never return home.

I didn't expect that after so many years, I almost forgot the existence of this person.

"Hahaha..."

Old Huang said to me that this person was Wang Yishan, the owner of Jinshi Pavilion.

"Well, since we all know each other, then things will be easy. If I'm not mistaken, the old man of Tianyi Pawnshop gave you something..." Old Huang said.

Wang Yishan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, let me show you my new stuff." Wang Yishan seemed to be ready to take something out of his pocket.

"Who are these people?"

Wang Yishan just noticed me and Da Kui.

"The owner of that thing!"

Lao Huang replied.

"It's the descendant of Mr. Lin, no wonder." Wang Yishan looked at me and seemed to be interested in me, but then he didn't say anything. Wang Yishan took out something and put it on the table, and then asked Lao Huang to help take a look.

"This is..."

Lao Huang looked at it for a long time but couldn't see what it was.

It was a crystal clear stone, a perfect stone. Da Kui and I are field archaeologists after all, and we have seen a lot of things, such as gold, silver, jade, porcelain, and bronze. We can tell whether the good things are real or fake at a glance.

However, the stone Wang Yishan took out was the first time we saw it.

It would be a stretch to say that this was jade. The stone had no flaws and its surface was very smooth, as if it had been coated with oil. The strange thing was that there was a dazzling flame flickering inside the stone, as if it was about to burst out at any moment...
