Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

Looking for an ancient tomb in the vast mountains, but the only clue is this incomplete code word. You can imagine the difficulty.

Wang Kaixuan said immediately.

"You never said it was so difficult before, no, you have to pay more!"

"After finding the ancient tomb, there should be at least one treasure for each person inside. This is the bottom line and there is no room for negotiation!"

Professor Sun was a scholar. When he met this arrogant and ridiculous person, he had nothing to say to him. He could only look at Ji Changsheng for help.

"Mr. Ji, the things in the tomb are all precious cultural relics. This..."

Ji Changsheng smiled lightly and said.

"I don't dare to be interested in other cultural relics. Only the Dragon Bone Book must be shown to me."

Professor Sun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

"It's okay to watch it, but after watching it, please hand it over to the state."

When Wang Kaixuan saw Ji Changsheng's words, he didn't dare to entangle any more. He just thought in his heart that no one would notice if he secretly took away a few treasures after finding the ancient tomb.

Hu Bayi said after thinking for a while.

"Although there are not many clues, at least we have a clue. Find Qingxi Town first. There should be more clues there."

After everyone agreed, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After resting for a night, the team set off for Wushan early the next morning.

Wushan is a remote county in southwest China. It is surrounded by mountains with sparsely populated areas and limited traffic.

Everyone first took a bus, and after getting off the expressway, they transferred to a long-distance minibus.

After more than eight hours of turbulence, we finally entered Wushan at around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Instead of going to the county town, everyone got off the bus in a small town, which was the closest to Wu Gorge.

There are only more than 10,000 local residents in the town. Since it is the only way to go to Wu Gorge, many tour groups stop here. There are many guests coming and going, and it is quite prosperous.

Looking up, I saw that both sides of the street were filled with shops selling small commodities, as well as some restaurants and inns. The endless flow of tourists brought great business opportunities to the town.

In order to attract tourists, the houses in the town have been planned and renovated in a unified way. They are all in the style of antique old houses. There is not a single modern building. At first glance, it seems as if they have returned to a hundred years ago.

After everyone toured the streets, they found a clean restaurant to eat.

While ordering, Hu Bayi and the shopkeeper had a casual chat, and even handed over a hundred-yuan bill as a tip.

Seeing his generous spending and extraordinary conversation, the shopkeeper decided that he was a wealthy boss. His attitude was particularly enthusiastic and he knew everything, and introduced the local customs in detail.

After the boss left, Professor Sun said.

"Mr. Hu, our search for ancient tombs this time is a private matter, so we should keep a low profile."

Hu Bayi smiled and said.

"Old Sun, you are a high-level intellectual. You have stayed in the office all your life and don't know the tricks of the world."

It turns out that what he did just now was not to show off, but to get some words out of his boss.

The profession of inversion is the same as traditional Chinese medicine, which pays attention to the four words of looking, hearing, asking and feeling, but the meaning is different.

Among them, asking is to inquire about information, which is called "picking up tongue leaks".

Wherever there are large tombs, there will probably be some related legends and stories. You can often get useful clues by asking the locals for clues.

When Professor Sun heard this, he showed an expression of admiration.

"As expected of Captain Mo Jin, did you ask anything?"

Hu Bayi shook his head.

"Qingxi Town disappeared more than seventy years ago. Only people over ninety years old know about it. After dinner, let's walk around the streets to see if we can find anyone who knows the news."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that hope was getting slimmer and slimmer. It was difficult to find an old man in his nineties, and even if they were found, they might not be able to provide useful clues.

But right now there is no other way but to give it a try.

After dinner, everyone came to the street. It was already seven o'clock in the evening.

As night falls, the lights begin to turn on, and the streets are filled with tourists who come out for a walk after dinner.

Everyone walked along and carefully observed each shop. When they saw an elderly man, they went up to talk to him.

But walking half a street, there was nothing gained.

Just when Wang Kaixuan was about to start complaining, Hu Bayi's eyes suddenly lit up and he stretched out his hand.

"There's probably a clue there!"

The others looked in the direction pointed and saw a deserted shop in the distance with a wine gourd hanging at the door, like a wine shop selling wine.

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously.

"Commander Hu, how do you know there are clues there? Is there anything different about this wine shop?"

Hu Bayi smiled slightly and did not explain.

"Go and have a look and you will know."

Everyone immediately came to the store and looked up.

The store is very big, and there is a small antique flag hanging at the door that says "Daily Necessities". It turns out to be a grocery store.

Look at the wine gourd. It is very different from ordinary gourds. The surface is covered with holes, large and small, and is riddled with holes.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but ask.

"This gourd has been dug into a hornet's nest. It can't be used to hold wine. What's the point of hanging it at the door?"

Before Hu Bayi could answer, Shirley Yang's eyes lit up and she smiled.

"Lao Hu, you are right, there will probably be some clues here."

After saying that, the two looked at each other, smiled, and walked in.

Wang Kaixuan muttered dissatisfiedly from behind.

"When you have a woman, you forget about your brothers. You really forget your loyalty!"

Everyone came to the store together. There was a large space inside. Several large containers were filled with a wide variety of goods, including daily necessities and general merchandise.

But the store was very deserted. Apart from them, there was only an old man dozing behind the counter.

The old man had chicken skin and a crane head, and looked at least 80 years old.

Hu Bayi stepped forward and said softly.

"Shopkeeper, there are customers."

The old man raised his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said casually.

"What do you want? Take a look for yourself."

Hu Bayi looked at the goods on the shelf and smiled softly.

"Old man, I want three pounds of brown sugar, nine white waxes, a stack of yellow paper, and two red ropes of 13 feet, soaked in cinnabar."

As soon as these words came out, the old man's expression was slightly shocked. He looked up and down at these people before saying.

"Except the red rope, there are other containers. Customers can take it yourself."

Hu Bayi shook his head.

"It's not polite to do it yourself, please give it to me personally."

When the old man heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in disbelief.

"Where is this guest from? What's his family name?"

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he thought it was a bit strange. He didn't ask people's family names directly, but asked what their family names were. Is there any question like this?

Hu Bayi gave Shirley Yang a look.

Shirley Yang immediately stepped forward and said slowly.

"Tea keeps famous mountain guests, and the door welcomes guests from all over the world. We are all mountain people, why ask about our roots."

The old man showed a look of joy, stood up and waved his hand.

"Dear guests, please come in!"
