"We have already explored the general location of the Immortal Ancient Building, and the young lady did not dare to act rashly, and planned to wait for the two of us to discuss it before taking the next step. ”

"It's rare for her to have such respect for other people's opinions. Li Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth and muttered casually.

After walking a rugged mountain road not far away, Li Qing finally saw the light of the stars in front of him.

"Electricity?" Li Qing blinked, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"We brought generators. Hu Feng replied, "After all, the follow-up excavation also needs to use electricity, and we are fully prepared." ”

Hu Feng said, holding the strong flashlight and shaking it towards the dark woods beside the path, and shouted: "It's me, I just brought someone back!"

Immediately after, a loud whistle sounded in the woods.

"Let's go. Hu Feng beckoned to Li Qing again and said with a smile.

Nodding slightly, Li Qing followed behind Hu Feng and his party and walked into the decadent walled gate.

Hu Feng stretched out his hand and pointed on both sides: "This is a small village, originally estimated to have nearly 1,000 people and more than 300 households. We've only put together this decent area for temporary living. This kind of ghost weather in Longxi, only the village of the guest tribe is dampproof, if you set up a wild tent on the spot, the rain can flood into the quilt when sleeping, and you really can't live there. ”

Babbling about the introduction, Hu Feng suddenly stretched out his hand and said hello: "Oh, old gun, I haven't slept yet." ”

Li Qing followed the sound and looked over, only to see a thin man in his fifties leaning against the door smoking, his shirt shirtless, and his coarse cloth pants pulled down to his knees. The sallow cheeks seemed to be covered with a thick layer of mud, and it seemed that you could smell a smell of mud from a distance.

"This is..."Li Qing sniffled and turned his head to look at Gu Yue.

Hearing Hu Feng's greeting, the man known as the old gun also raised his eyelids, looked at Li Qing and the others, grinned at the corners of his mouth to reveal a row of big yellow teeth, and sneered: "Here are a few more offspring who have not lost their hair..."

The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but the thick contempt between the words could be felt by anyone. Obviously, in the eyes of the old gun, these descendants came here purely to give away their heads.

Hu Feng's face changed, and he waved his hand at the old gun: "Your brain is rusty, these two are not mortals." The head of the Li family, Miss Gu, told you. ”

"Oh, it's the head of the Lingang Li family who has arrived. The old gun looked suddenly realized, nodded slightly at Li Qing, and then stared at Gu Yue tightly, as if he wanted to see her whole person through.

Gu Yue was not happy, she took out a dagger from her thigh and threw it out directly, slamming it on the side of the old gun's head, and her voice was cold: "If you don't want that pair of dog eyes, I don't mind helping you dig them out." ”

The old gun's lips moved, and he immediately took a half step back, bowing respectfully to Gu Yue.

"It's my pair of dog's eyes that are misplaced, and the people who face the ancient gate are too disrespectful. ”

Both Li Qing and Hu Feng were amazed by this scene, this thing just had the virtue of coaxing, how could he be convinced in an instant when he saw Gu Yue?

Gu Yue snorted coldly: "Do you want to go down to the river with mud legs on a dry road, aren't you afraid of being drowned?"

"Hehe, the water rushed to the temple, and the Bodhisattva ran away from the monk. The old gun raised his head and replied with a smile, "The head of the Xie family has a good reward, if this ticket is successful, he will not worry about food and clothing in the future, and he will not be able to go to the ground again." ”

Gu Yue didn't speak again, and walked over with Hu Feng and Li Qing. The old gun followed two steps behind him, and raised his hand with a smile: "Miss Gu walks slowly." ”

Li Qing frowned: "Why does this guy smell fishy?"

Hu Feng looked at Li Qing, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he gave him a thumbs up: "He is worthy of being the head of the Li family, and his vision is amazing." This old gun was invited by the young lady's orders, and he used to live in the Guannan area, and occasionally came to Longxi. He has a vote of brothers under him, and he does this..."

As he spoke, Hu Feng stretched out three fingers and hooked them in mid-air. When Li Qing saw this scene, he instantly understood. No wonder he always felt that something was wrong with this old gun, it turned out that he was digging holes in the mountains.

Digging caves, as the name suggests, is tomb robbing.

The pass in the south of the Guannan refers to the Dalong Pass, and the geographical location is in the southwest of Longxi. Guannan and Longxi are adjacent to each other, and both belong to the territory of the Chinese Empire. However, unlike Longxi, there was no war in Guannan, and the people's lives were poor but quite stable. In several Longxi wars, many local people in Longxi could not bear the pain of war and moved to Guannan to survive.

The population continued to increase, but the backward economic development of Kannan made it impossible for the land to support more people, making regional conflicts more and more intense, and further triggering social chaos. Under such circumstances, many people have sought other ways and begun to take risks and engage in all kinds of illegal activities. Robbery and theft are all small samples, drug trafficking, and tomb robbery are all big things.

More than 20 years ago, as the prices of international collectibles climbed all the way, tomb robbing in Kannan was rampant. It has even reached the situation where there are tombs and there are caves, which has caused quite serious damage to history and culture. After repeated key blows, coupled with the fact that Guannan had indeed reached the embarrassing situation of having no tombs to fall, this trend of tomb robbery gradually subsided.

Li Qing didn't understand why the old gun behaved so respectfully when he saw Gu Yue, could it be because the Gu family guarded the tomb of the Immortal Ancient Building, and the ancestor Tang Huaijin also went in and turned around, so he was regarded as the ancestor of the tomb robbery? But this doesn't make sense.

Hu Feng was present, Li Qing didn't want to ask too much, so he had to put this question in his heart temporarily.

"These people are so unreliable, for a little profit, even if they are biological brothers, they can do it. Hu Feng said in a low voice, "But we want to enter the Immortal Ancient Building, and this group of people is indispensable." So pay more attention between the rounds and don't capsize in the gutter. ”

Li Qing didn't answer, a few people walked forward for a while, Hu Feng suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "It's so late today, my young lady is a little uncomfortable, I'll let my subordinates take Miss Gu to rest first." ”

"Oh. Li Qing nodded, "Indeed, it's almost eleven o'clock, let Yuyan have a good rest, and I'll see her again tomorrow." ”

After saying that, Li Qing turned around and was about to leave, Hu Feng hurriedly called behind him: "Master Li, I mean to ask Miss Gu to go and rest first, my young lady... I'm still going to see you..."

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes were cold, and her face became more and more unkind.

Hu Feng was also embarrassed, with an apologetic smile on his face: "I... It's hard to do. ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Yue with a little hesitation: "This... You say..."

"Forget it, I'm so tired, I might as well go to sleep. It's like who is rare, I really don't know what your young lady is doing in Longxi, is it to hook up with a man?"

"Miss Gu, don't say it so ugly. Hu Feng looked embarrassed, but he deeply hid the dissatisfaction in his eyes, "My young lady and the head of the Li family are close friends, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and now it should be normal to talk about it." ”

"What are you still doing in a daze? In the middle of the night, run to your daughter's boudoir to talk about it. Gu Yue stared at Li Qing coldly, then turned around and left.

Hu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Miss Gu doesn't know the way, and it's raining again, you go and take care of it." ”

After successfully sending Gu Yue away, Hu Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded at Li Qing: "Master Li, come with me." ”

Li Qing stabilized his mind, gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and followed Hu Feng to turn a corner in the stockade, and walked forward for a while before stopping.

"Miss, the head of the Li family is here. Hu Feng bowed slightly, said quite respectfully, and then took a step back and looked at Li Qing, "Please, there will be people outside, after the head of the Li family talks to Miss, someone will lead you back to the house to rest." ”

"Thank you. Li Qing nodded, then walked up the tattered steps, came to the door of this Hakka traditional stilted building, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open.

The furnishings in the room were quite simple, with a folding bed, a small wooden table covered with a plastic tablecloth and a few things, and two chairs leaning against the wall.

Although it is a little dilapidated, it looks quite clean after some cleaning.

Xie Yuyan was wearing a dark cyan woolen coat, holding a stove in his arms, and was sitting cross-legged on the bed, staring at Li Qing with beautiful eyes without blinking, with an inexplicable expression.

Li Qing looked around, and then fixed his gaze on Xie Yuyan's beautiful cheeks, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's really a family with four walls, the humble house is hidden, is this what you mean?"

"That's the Golden House, you can really learn and use it. Xie Yuyan pursed his lips, "Close the door, it's cold." ”

"Hmm. Li Qing nodded, and closed the door tightly, "You are born with a cold problem, I'm afraid it won't get better." ”

While speaking, Li Qing pulled a chair from the corner of the wall, and before he could stabilize it, he had to hear Xie Yuyan suddenly speak: "Come and sit, let me see you." ”

"What are you doing?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows, "The two of us want to talk about business, so it's better to keep our distance." ”

Xie Yuyan's eyes fluttered, and he said softly: "Can't you talk about business and private affairs together?" Or are you afraid?"

"I'm going to be scared? Li Qing put down the chair and walked to Xie Yuyan and sat down, "Anyway, I have to thank you for saving my life." If you hadn't sent Daddy Tashi to pick me up, it would have been really difficult. ”

Xie Yuyan stretched out a white jade hand and gently stroked Li Qing's cheek: "You don't have to thank me for this." The Xie family still has to rely on you to help pass on the ancestry, how can I be willing to let you die. ”
