Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 157 Full of Doubts

Ding Lingling's face became more and more red, but Hongxing jumped out of nowhere, and said with a smile: "Lao Bai is awake? If you don't wake up, Sister Lingling will probably cry again!"

"How can I have it!" Ding Lingling jumped up suddenly, "What's that...... Let the Iron Bull come to see him, and I'm going to explore everywhere too!"

Tie Niu was actually following behind Hong Xing, and when he heard Ding Lingling calling him, Tie Niu smiled and immediately poked his head out from behind Hong Xing.

"I'm here, then let me look at Lao Bai here! I didn't know how to investigate, and besides, the little fat brother is on fire, you should hurry up and help him!"

Ding Lingling blushed and said casually: "Senior Brother Chen has such a temper, you don't have to pay attention to him!"

After that, he was embarrassed to look at Poplar again, and walked away directly.

Hongxing chased after her and shouted, "Sister Lingling, I'll go with you!"

Ding Lingling agreed, and the two girls walked hand in hand affectionately.

Bai Yang watched the two girls walk away, and then turned around and asked Tie Niu: "Little fat brother is hot, is it because the two of us collapsed the castle?"

"Not really!" Tie Niu smiled and sat down beside Bai Yang, "He is like this, before the two of us fell to the ground, except for Hongxing and Lingling, several men rushed to the front to save us! And after knowing that you were bitten by a poisonous scorpion, he was also anxious, and helped think of many ways to save you! But when he woke up this morning, he saw that you were obviously breathing smoothly and out of danger, so he changed his face and circled around in front of the collapsed castle. If it weren't for Boss Chu reminding him that there was a big scorpion nest under the castle, he would have turned over the collapsed beams with his bare hands so that all the cultural relics in the cellar could be taken out. ”

Bai Yang already knew Chen Xiaopang's personality and temper very well, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and said: "It was too urgent at that time, if we drill out of the hole, we will be 100% crawled by poisonous scorpions, and the only way I can think of is to hit the wall! Again...... As the leader of the group, I feel ashamed that I only cared about running for my life and did not put the protection of cultural relics in the first place!"

"What's there to be ashamed of, in that case, of course, it's important to save your life! Besides, Chen Xiaopang has already brought out the most precious things, and the notebook has also been loaded by Ding Lingling, and the few remaining things under the cellar are actually not that important, but Chen Xiaopang is too serious!"

When Tie Niu said this, he probably felt that his evaluation of Chen Xiaopang was not fair enough, so he smiled and added a few more words.

For example, those gold and jade jewelry in the wooden box should be worth a lot of money, right? If a few of us were greedy for those few things, Chen Xiaopang would definitely turn his face on the spot! But Hongxing saw with her own eyes that the old man Chen put the gold and jade jewelry in the wooden box into his trouser pocket in front of Chen Xiaopang, and when he came out, Chen Xiaopang did not chase after the old man and asked him to hand over those few cultural relics, and he has not mentioned this matter until now. ”

Bai Yang nodded and said: "After all, the old man has been fighting for a lifetime, and if he really wants to see the treasure and be completely unmoved, I'm afraid it's unrealistic! Besides, even if the old man doesn't take those few things, they will be buried in the ground and can't be taken out at this time, so why do you have to spit it out the old man!"

"Yes, I think so too! Fortunately, Chen Xiaopang didn't mention this matter, otherwise Old Man Chen's face would really have nowhere to go!"

"Little fat brother is just a little awkward with me, and he is still amiable with the rest of you! Besides, he has a good heart, and he is serious and responsible for his work, I used to want to put him in another group, not to be with us, but now it seems that Uncle Ding's arrangement is really much more thoughtful than we think!"

"Of course, otherwise he would be able to sit in such a high position?" Tie Niu smiled, and suddenly mysteriously lowered his voice, "But the two of us crashed through the castle wall, and you were bitten by a poisonous scorpion, but you were fine, they were all very strange! Chen Xiaopang had already chased after me several times, asking if there was something we were hiding from him! And that big boss Chu, I think he had already guessed what was going on!"

Bai Yang frowned and said, "So I said that it was a little rash for the two of us to break through the wall! Brother Xiao Fat is okay to say here, after all, he is also a core member of the tomb search team, even if he knows the things we encountered, he shouldn't spread it everywhere, but this big boss of Chu ......"

He was silent at this point.

Tie Niu immediately said: "Do you also think that this big boss Chu is chasing after us to find the Black Desert, I'm afraid it's not as simple as the reason he said?"

"And what do you think his reason would be?" asked Poplar with a smile.

"I don't know! Anyway, I think that with a big boss like him, his assets are tens of millions, and they are still US dollars, it can be said that he will be able to win the wind and the rain! How can he be willing to risk his life for the sake of an unfulfilled wish of his old father? Anyway, if I were a big boss, I would definitely be very sorry for my life, and if I have money, I can enjoy myself and do so much else!"

Tie Niu's words are not unreasonable, in fact, Chu Changjiang's motive Bai Yang has always been suspicious.

But after all, he is a patriotic overseas Chinese who funds the domestic archaeological cause, and since he has followed, the only thing he should do is to protect the safety of Chu Changjiang.

So Poplar smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, no matter what he is doing with us on an adventure, we have to take him in and out of it......!" He probably guessed what was going on with the two of us, and we didn't need to explain much to him! After all, he was a big boss, and he must have been more shrewd than most people, and we had slipped through several times in the cellar before, and he must have been suspicious at that time. Not to mention...... When we enter the Black Desert, if there is really a living alchemist in the Black Desert, he will understand what is going on at that time!"

"So do you think we should tell Chen Xiaopang about the two of us taking the immortal medicine in advance, otherwise he will ......know about it at that time."

Tie Niu suddenly stopped when he said this, as if he had thought of something.

"What's wrong?" Poplar asked immediately.

Tie Niu swallowed his spit and asked quietly with careful wording, "What do you think...... Could Chu Changjiang also know that there was a living alchemist in the Black Desert? Could it be ...... Back then, his father had actually entered the Black Desert and seen alchemists?"

Poplar was taken aback and asked, "Why do you think that?"

"I just guessed it according to common sense! Because if I were a rich boss like him, I would definitely have nothing to be dissatisfied with! The only thing I want is to live forever, because then I can make my flowers and wine last longer!"

Poplar couldn't help but be stunned.

Tie Niu is usually rough, and his thinking about things is very simple and straightforward.

But it is precisely because of its simplicity and directness that it can often be said in one sentence.

Since ancient times, the poor want to be rich and rich, and the rich want to be powerful, but when a person has money and power, and he has all the money and wine, the only thing he wants is to live forever.

That's exactly the same as Qin Shi Huang.

Could it be that Chu Changjiang really has the purpose of "seeking longevity"?

"Forget it, I don't want to do so much!" Poplar shook his head, "Anyway, this is China, even if he knows that the two of us have taken immortal medicine, he can't tie us up for experiments......!" We have to keep an eye on him, and we must not let him carry us behind our backs and quietly take possession of something related to the elixir of immortality!"

"I know! Since I have done this business, and you are still the group leader, I will definitely support your work! Although it is unlikely that I will be as enthusiastic as Chen Xiaopang, I will definitely try my best to be conscientious and responsible!"

Iron Bull rarely talks about work with Poplar so seriously, especially the words of "enthusiasm", which made Poplar's teeth almost sore.

Tie Niu didn't finish his words, and he laughed sourly.

Just as the eagle chirped, the golden-eyed eagle probably saw the poplar wake up and fly down from the sky.

Bai Yang hurriedly stretched out his hand, let the Golden Pupil Condor fall into his arms, touched the little head of the Golden Pupil Condor lovingly, and turned over the feathers on the abdomen of the Golden Pupil Condor to see if the previous wound had healed.

The self-healing ability of this divine eagle is really remarkable, but in just three days, the wound can no longer be found.

After all, the Condor is a hunter in the sky, and it will be very uncomfortable to be on the ground for a long time, so after making out with the poplar for a while, he spread his wings and flew high again.

Tie Niu looked up at the shadow of the Condor, and sighed: "This Condor is so useful! After the wind stopped last night, we all took out food and piled it up in front of it, thanking it for saving its life, but it didn't expect it to eat at all, but spread its wings and flew away! We were wondering if it was because you were unconscious, so it refused to pay attention to the rest of us, but we didn't expect it to fly back and throw a yellow sheep from the air. I don't know how it was brought back, and after we roasted it, several people didn't finish it...... By the way, you haven't eaten yet, I'll give you the leftover yellow mutton from last night!"

Tie Niu said as he turned out the yellow mutton, and said: "It's hot, I'm afraid that the meat will spoil, so I can only leave the roasted one dry!"

Poplar took the yellow mutton and chewed it slowly, although the piece left was too dry, but it was much more delicious than the canned dry food that he was tired of eating in the past few days.

In the afternoon, Baiyang's spirit was a little better, and with the support of the iron bull, he also took a turn around the ruins of Yunlang City.

When I came yesterday, it was a sandstorm raging, and I couldn't see the situation of the ruins clearly, but I thought that it was only in a patch of yellow sand, and occasionally a half-cut wall was exposed.

But now the yellow sand has been blown away by a heavy storm, and most of the ruins have been exposed.

Although all the roofs are gone, and only a broken wall remains, from the overall arrangement, the place was quite prosperous at the beginning.

There were several vertical and horizontal streets between the houses, the widest of which led to the tallest and most majestic castle in the whole town.

It's a pity that this castle has completely collapsed, and the yellow sand on the back is covered, which looks like there is an extra sand mountain.
