Chapter 117: Is the Mountain Underground?

Zhang Jiayong and Zhang Xian came to the exit of the supermarket, and it didn't take long to see Zuo Xiong coming out with a big bag and a small bag, not only him, but also a big bag and a small bag in the hands of Lu Dandan and Zuo Xiong's two subordinates.

Lu Dandan showed a helpless face, he was originally going to buy a woman's necessities, but he was used as a coolie by Zuo Xiong.

"Brother Xiong, you are ...... It's too exaggerated, isn't it?" Zhang Jiayong's eyes widened, and through the transparent plastic bag, Zhang Jiayong saw a set of barbecue seasoning boxes and some fresh gift boxes.

"Hey, hey. Zuo Xiong just smirked.

"Don't worry, I think you look like you're out on a picnic. Zhang Jiayong said speechlessly.

"My boss above me said that this can be slowed down, and there seems to be other progress in the laboratory, so it is difficult to come out this time, so I can't have a good time?" Zuo Xiong explained.

"I see, okay then. However, Zhang Xian and I saw an ancient map, which may be helpful for us to find the correct location of Devil's Mountain. Zhang Jiayong nodded, and then said.

"Then buy it. Zuo Xiong said.

"Ten million. Zhang Jiayong said.

"Ten million. 10 million? What kind of ancient map, 10 10 million? At a certain auction, a nautical map of Magellan was only sold for more than 1 million US dollars, can this map be comparable to Magellan's nautical map?" Zuo Xiong said with some surprise after reacting.

"yes, it's a bit expensive, so don't I discuss this with you? Zhang Jiayong said.

Zuo Xiong squinted his eyes, found Zhang Jiayong's cunning eyes, and suddenly understood in his heart, and said, "You want me to pay for it, right?"

Zhang Jiayong was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect to be broken by Zuo Xiong, but it was not surprising that Zuo Xiong, an old fox in the shopping mall, was broken by his insight.

"Let's go, let's take a look, I'm really curious, what kind of ancient map, so expensive, this boss, I'm afraid he also wants to rip off customers." Zuo Xiong analyzed.

Zhang Jiayong took Zuo Xiong back to the antique shop, but at this time, there was an extra group of people in the antique shop, all carrying khaki hiking bags, which looked like an expedition team. This group of people is standing in front of the display case where the ancient map is stored at this moment.

The boss was waiting on the sidelines, and when he saw Zhang Jiayong and them coming in, he just glanced at them lightly.

"Boss, I want this ancient map. Zhang Jiayong vaguely felt that this group of people also took a fancy to the ancient map, so he hurried over and said to the owner of the antique shop.

"You want it, but these friends want it too. The boss said in embarrassment, but there was a little pride in his eyes, and he said in his heart that you didn't buy it just now, but now it's okay, there is another group of people competing with you for this ancient map!

The group of people were generally men in their thirties, and they looked at Zhang Jiayong, a "little child", at this time.

"A few friends, what are you going to do with this map?" asked Zhang Jiayong with a smile, as if he had said hello.

However, it is a pity that these people ignored him, but directly gave a bank card, and the owner of the antique shop took the bank card, and his heart was happy.

"I'll give you a discount, I'll charge you thirteen million. The corners of the antique shopkeeper's smile reached the base of his ears.

"No, boss, why did you sell it for 13 million? You sold it to me before, but it only cost 10 million!" Zhang Jiayong said.

The owner of the antique shop secretly said that it was broken, blaming himself for being a broken mouth, how did he blow up the charges, and he also secretly annoyed that he didn't take into account that Zhang Jiayong was here.

"Boss?" one of the men frowned slightly. Obviously, very dissatisfied with the difference offer from the boss.

"This ...... Then I'll take you 10 million. The boss said awkwardly.

"No, this map doesn't have to be. The man who spoke looked like a team leader, took back the bank card from the boss, and then left with the others very simply.

The boss looked at the departing people, lightly slapped his mouth, then turned his head to look at Zhang Jiayong, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "Little brother, this map, 10 million, no, 9 million is sold to you, how about it?"

The boss was not in a hurry to sell this ancient map, but I don't know what's going on, recently, there have been a lot of copies of ancient maps, and they have been bought by many people, and now there are more and more copies of ancient maps on the market.

The ancient map displayed in this display case is actually a sample, a real complete map, which was collected by the owner of the antique shop.

However, with the advent of facsimiles of ancient maps, the real ancient maps are depreciating because the correct routes on the ancient maps are exposed, and the ancient maps lose some of their value.

"Five million. Zhang Jiayong said.

"Five...... Five million, no, at least eight million!" the antique shop owner shook his head.

"Five million. Zhang Jiayong insisted.

"Seven million, seven million at the minimum!" the antique shop owner lowered his price again.

"Six million, if it doesn't work, forget it. Zhang Jiayong said.

"Cheng, six million is six million!" The owner of the antique shop gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhang Jiayong's offer.

After paying the money, the owner of the antique shop went to the back and took out the complete ancient map of the treasure, as well as the small black piece of paper, and handed it to Zhang Jiayong.

"Alas, I don't know what's going on in the past two days, many people are collecting ancient maps everywhere, and there are also many copies of the correct routes of ancient maps that have been exposed, and the ancient maps are worthless. The owner of the antique shop said when he handed things over to Zhang Jiayong.

"Someone collects ancient maps, boss, is there more than one ancient map?" Zhang Jiayong frowned.

"There is indeed only one real ancient map, and my one is true, but there are many other ancient maps of the era. However, I don't know why, the routes and markings on these ancient maps have been exposed, and many copies have been made, so I wonder, this ancient map of mine has never been exposed, how can anyone know the route drawn on it?" said the owner of the antique shop depressedly.

"Boss, do you mean there's a copy of your map outside?" Zhang Jiayong said as he stared at the owner of the antique shop, Zhang Jiayong only fancy the routes and landmarks on it, and was not interested in historical value at all.

"Ahh

"Forget it, buy it all. Zhang Jiayong shook his head speechlessly, anyway, it wasn't his money that was spent, and if he was trapped, he would be pitted. And, what if there is anything special about the authentic ancient map?

However, judging from the news revealed by the owner of the antique shop, it seems that there is something unusual in this, there are people collecting ancient maps, is this a pure hobby, or is there another purpose?

But judging from the fact that a large number of facsimiles of ancient maps have been circulated, it should have other purposes, could it be that there are also people looking for something?

Or is there some particularly powerful force looking for Devil's Mountain?

Zhang Jiayong felt that no matter what, when he went to Devil's Mountain this time, he had to pay extra attention to beware of some other forces suddenly intervening.

After everything was ready, Zhang Jiayong and his team officially embarked on a journey to find Devil's Mountain, and their first destination was a prairie 30 kilometers away in Mengchuan County.

This prairie has been here before, but there is no harvest. However, Zhang Xian still suggested coming here first, because referring to the map, he felt that there was a great possibility that Devil's Mountain was here.

"Are you sure you're here? I've been here before, and besides, if a mountain were on this prairie, it must be very abrupt and conspicuous, how could you not see it?" Zuo Xiong said.

However, Zhang Xian didn't say anything, just ordered the driver to drive the car and continue to circle the grassland a few times, and during the whole process, Zhang Xian kept his eyes closed, as if he was perceiving something.

Zhang Jiayong suddenly became enlightened, Zhang Xian should be using spiritual energy to detect the familiar breath, Zhang Xian has been here before, as long as he has come, he will leave clues, some things that are invisible to the naked eye, even time cannot easily erase them.

After driving around the periphery of the entire prairie several times, crossing and running through it several times, the tires of the car pressed almost every inch of this prairie, but unfortunately, Zhang Xian just shook his head in the end.

The next destination is another steppe, and this place is almost all grasslands. It was also spent several hours in another grassland, and still nothing was gained.

On the first day of the exploration trip, there was no surprise that there was no gain, but everyone's mentality was good, after all, if Devil's Mountain could be found so easily, Zuo Xiong would have found it a long time ago.

The next day, they set their target on an abandoned mining area, this place, Zuo Xiong also came, and even sent precision machines to dive into the depths of the mining area, it can really be said that they dug the ground to find out the Devil's Mountain, but Zuo Xiong did not find it.

"I feel it, I feel the smell of familiarity. As soon as he drove into the mining area, Zhang Xian opened his eyes and stared at the inside of the mining area with glowing eyes.

"Devil's Mountain is here, but I've been here before, and there are no mountains here!" Zuo Xiong said.

"I don't know if it's Devil's Mountain, but it does have a familiar aura. Zhang Xian said.

"Can you feel it specifically?" asked Zhang Jiayong.

"Go ahead!" Zhang Xian showed the driver the way, and the car went all the way to the mine.

Everyone got out of the car and walked to the abandoned mine, there was a black hole inside, I don't know how deep, could it be that the Devil's Mountain is inside? It is underground? This is a bit unbelievable!

"Are you sure it's here?" asked Zhang Jiayong, pointing to the depths of the mine.

"The familiar aura I feel is in here!" Zhang Xian nodded affirmatively.

"I sent someone down to check it before, and it's an abandoned mine, there's nothing, and a mountain, how big is that, although this mine is quite big, but it can't necessarily fit a whole mountain, right?" Zuo Xiong questioned.
