Today is the day to set off.
Before dawn, Chen Wenxuan climbed out of bed, changed himself into a short suit, and put on a camouflaged business robe on the outside.
When he came to the yard, he saw that Er Yuehong was already ready.
In order to see him and Er Yuehong off, Hua Ling, Hong Girl, and Yatou also got up early. After a simple breakfast, they said goodbye.
Chen Wenxuan and Er Yuehong walked towards the north city gate before dawn.
The mine is in the mountains and forests north of Changsha City, about sixty miles away.
Sixty miles is neither long nor short. Because there are official roads all the way, even if you walk, it only takes three or four hours.
The two walked very fast and arrived at the meeting point discussed yesterday, the suburbs, before the sun rose.
Zhang Qishan arrived even earlier.
When Chen Wenxuan and Er Yuehong arrived at the suburbs, Zhang Qishan was already waiting with his team.
""Master Buddha, isn't Master Eight coming?"
Er Yuehong asked in confusion when he saw that Qi Tiezui was not in the team. He didn't say yesterday that Qi Tiezui wouldn't come.
Zhang Qishan sighed helplessly,"Come, maybe he was delayed on the way."
"Adjutant, split into two teams and let them go first."
He had been to the mine once before and was very familiar with the road.
The reason why the team was separated was mainly to collect intelligence along the way and to find out if there were any Japanese soldiers. After waiting for about ten minutes, Qi Tiezui finally arrived.
Qi Tiezui was dressed as a fortune-teller Taoist priest, wearing small sunglasses on his face and a treasure bag on his waist, full of chivalry.
Changsha City has always been a strategic military base and an important hub for communication from all directions. There are many strange people and merchants coming and going from the south and the north, and it is not out of place to dress up as a fortune-teller Taoist priest.
""Master , I asked you to dress up in disguise, but I didn't ask you to ride a donkey."
Zhang Qishan frowned, a little unhappy.
No wonder Qi Tiezui was so slow, this donkey just walked like a stroll.
But Qi Tiezui smiled and said,"Master Buddha, this is a wild donkey. I bought it for 35 dollars.""
"Don't be fooled by the slow pace of this donkey. If it really runs, ordinary horses can't catch up. You may not know that in ancient times, there was an emperor who escaped for his life by traveling 800 miles at night in a donkey cart."
"Let's go!"
Zhang Qishan had no intention of arguing with Qi Tiezui. He led a few people onto the official road and headed north.
There were many villages in the north of Changsha City, and each village had hundreds of people, or even more.
However, most of these people were not local residents, but merchants from all over the place.
Because Hunan is rich in mercury, there are more than a dozen large mines in the area around Changsha City alone, with countless various types of mines.
The miners who went down to the mines basically lived and ate in the mountains, and only came out of the mountains once every one or two months. The goods brought by the merchants were sold specifically to the miners and mine owners. After walking for about two hours, the group found a forest to rest.
""Master Buddha, why don't we find a village to rest?"
Qi Tiezui said with some complaints while chewing on compressed biscuits and drinking water. There were so many places to stay around, but Zhang Qishan insisted on bringing them to the mountains to rest.
After walking for a long time, they didn't even have a hot meal.
Hearing Qi Tiezui's words, Zhang Qishan ignored him.
The donkey Qi Tiezui was riding was very slow, slowing down the team, and kept making noises along the way, which hurt him.
"Eighth Master, you don't know." (To read the exciting novels, go to Flylu Novel Network!)
Seeing that Zhang Qishan did not respond to Qi Tiezui, Er Yuehong smiled and said:
"This area is the territory of the Huo family. I heard that the Huo family recently dug several large tombs here and made a lot of money, so they sent a group of people here."
"The third master may have taken a fancy to this piece of land, so he has been keeping an eye on it recently."
"If we enter these villages, we will probably be recognized by the Huo and Li families, which will be very troublesome."
Qi Tiezui was stunned for a moment and swallowed the biscuit in his mouth.
"That really can't be discovered.
"We came here without any greetings. If the Huo family saw us, they might think we were here to help the Third Master deal with them."
"It's not good to let the Third Master's people see us, they will think we are helping the Huo family."
Zhang Qishan nodded silently and sighed.
He was not afraid of Huo Sanniang and Banjie Li, on the contrary, Huo Sanniang and Banjie Li were willing to give him face.
But it's better to keep it secret for now.
No matter how you explain it, digging a grave in someone else's lucrative territory will make the other party feel uncomfortable.
Compared with the people from the Huo and Li families, the more troublesome ones are the Japanese.
The mine was bought by the Japanese thirty years ago, so the Japanese know much more about the mine than they do.
What they can do is to enter the mine as soon as possible and dig out the secrets hidden under the mine.
After resting for about ten minutes, everyone continued on their way..
It was not until noon that Zhang Qishan, the guide, led everyone into a bamboo forest and said that the mine they were going to was a little further ahead. It took more than five hours to get here, which was much slower than expected.
Because Qi Tiezui's donkey walked too slowly, he would fall far behind every time he walked a certain distance. The time just waiting for him added up to at least an hour.
The two teams of twenty people that Zhang Qishan had sent out earlier had already been hiding and waiting in the bamboo forest.
After asking around, Zhang Qishan knew that there were no Japanese devils nearby, and his heart was a little relieved.
After gathering the team, Zhang Qishan asked Qi Tiezui:
"Lao Ba, the place we explored last time was different. I think you have been to this area before?")
""Hmm."
Qi Tiezui held the compass and pointed in the direction of the mountain wall.
"Last time I visited the mining village next door, I heard from an old man that there was a mine in this bamboo forest, but it was blown up by the Japanese more than 20 years ago."
"If we go in this direction, we should be able to see the mine."
"But now look at.....There's something wrong with this place."
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qishan immediately asked
"The terrain around this mine is dangerous. If we combine the places we have walked with the map, the entire mining area will be connected into a human shape."
"This kind of human-shaped tomb, I have only heard my father mention it once. He said that this kind of tomb is arranged according to the eight extraordinary meridians of a person, and is linked together. If one mechanism is opened, the whole tomb will be in turmoil."
