Chapter 174: A Shocking Scam

Early the next morning, Lei Kun received a call from Tang Xiaotian.

It turned out that Tang Xiaotian had arrived in Nanchong City in the early hours of the morning.

When Lei Kun received this call, he was a little excited and a little apprehensive.

He really wanted to know what happened more than 20 years ago, but he was also afraid that once he knew what happened more than 20 years ago, he would be involved.

But in the end, Lei Kun still came to Tang Xiaotian's office.

Tang Xiaotian stood at the window, looking at the rising sun outside, which would have made his mood feel a little more comfortable, but his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

Until Lei Kun walked in, his heart calmed down a little, perhaps in his heart, hiding a secret for more than twenty years was too painful for anyone.

And now that he was going to tell the secret, maybe it would make him more relaxed, but he didn't know what would happen if he told the secret.

The room was silent for a few seconds, and then Tang Xiaotian slowly turned around.

He saw Lei Kun, who was already sitting on the sofa, and chuckled, "How is Yan'er doing?" ”

"She's fine." Lei Kun paused for a moment and continued, "But she misses you very much. ”

Tang Xiaotian suddenly turned into a kind father at this moment, and the sharpness in his eyes and the momentum on his body before all disappeared.

There was infinite tenderness in his eyes, but he quickly came back to his senses, but he could only sigh lightly, his identity was destined to not see his relatives for a long time.

Tang Xiaotian slowly sat opposite Lei Kun, knowing the purpose of Lei Kun's visit this time, but he hadn't thought about it for many years.

"You want to know what happened back then?" Tang Xiaotian finally asked slowly.

"I want to know everything that happened more than twenty years ago, and why everyone is so attached to that ring, and what secrets are in it?"

After all, there were so many things Lei Kun wanted to know, and these doubts had always haunted his heart.

Tang Xiaotian let out a long sigh and seemed to be in deep thought, and Lei Kun didn't bother him soundly.

I don't know how long it took for Tang Xiaotian to come back to his senses, and only then did he tell Lei Kun what happened more than 20 years ago.

It turned out that twenty-five years ago, Tang Xiaotian, Murong Cheng, and Zhang Wenhua were all high-spirited young people.

And among them, except for Tang Xiaotian, Murong Cheng and Zhang Wenhua's families are considered to be wealthy.

But that didn't stop the three from becoming friends, and the three of them got closer and closer because they both loved adventure.

Moreover, the team of three of them has also been to various extreme places at home and abroad, up to icebergs and snow peaks, and down to crypts and caves.

It is precisely because of this that the three of them are becoming more and more famous.

Just as they were climbing a snowy peak, they camped in the snowy mountains at night, but in the middle of the night, suddenly a person came out of the snowy mountains.

When that person appeared, Tang Xiaotian and the three of them were startled, but they quickly came back to their senses.

In the end, the four of them met and found out that the person had come to find them.

Because the man had a treasure map in his hand, and that treasure map was a treasure map that he had bought from a man at a high price and had been passed down for ten generations.

The man sensed that there must be a great treasure hidden in it, so if the three of them could find the place and bring him in, they would each be paid a good sum of money.

Tang Xiaotian was a little tempted by this rich reward, but Murong Cheng and Zhang Wenhua were even more tempted by that mysterious place.

So the three of them discussed it all night, and finally decided to take the man with them to find the location marked by the treasure map.

Later, they learned that the man's surname was Tuoba again, and as for the name, the man did not mention it.

Later, they found that this Tuoba seemed to be very strange, except when they were on the road, the rest of the time they sat alone, and held an ancient document in their hands.

Murong Cheng, who had studied this very well, recognized at a glance that the ancient document must have been the product of more than a thousand years ago, which also made them full of expectations for this expedition.

After a whole year of trekking, they thought about giving up countless times, but finally persevered, in order to find that mysterious treasure.

One day a year later, they finally found a cave entrance on a snowy mountain.

But the hole was leading underground, and it was bottomless, which made them all hesitate.

But Tuoba was like a demon at this time, and jumped like crazy regardless of anyone's obstruction.

Tang Xiaotian and the three of them saw that Tuoba had already jumped down, and there was no response, they were instantly disheartened, and the whole year's efforts were in vain.

But just as they were about to turn away, they suddenly heard an echo from under the cave.

The three of them were overjoyed and jumped out of the hole.

It didn't take long for them to see the pool below, and it was so warm that they couldn't detect the slightest cold.

The three of them were ecstatic, but when they calmed down, they realized that Tuoba was gone.

The three of them searched the cave for half an hour before they discovered a hidden hole.

There were no other openings in the cave, so they had to venture in.

After walking a distance of several tens of meters, another hole appeared.

The three of them walked into cave after cave as if they were being guided, but the height of the cave was getting shorter and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter.

But because Tang Xiaotian, who was at the forefront, could still see the "fresh" traces left on the ground, then this trace could only be left by Tuoba.

It seemed that after walking a distance of several kilometers, hot sweat had begun to break out on their bodies, and then Tang Xiaotian stopped.

For by this time he had come to the end, and a staircase appeared next to him leading to the bottom.

The three of them glanced at each other, and finally continued downward, after all, this kind of place is very likely to come once in a lifetime, and if you miss it, you will never have a chance again.

The stairs are very steep, and it seems that they were in too much of a hurry to repair it, but if you are careful, you can continue to descend.

As time passed, the light of their flashlights became fainter and fainter, and just as they were about to return, they suddenly saw a stone door appear in front of them.

There were five sigils on the stone door, and on those five sigils were five wall stone rings.

Step by step, they approached, and they knew that Tuoba was behind the stone gate.

But at this moment, the stone door was suddenly opened and a crack was opened, and a strong light suddenly shone towards them, making them suddenly aware of their situation.

By the time they came to their senses, the stone door was closed, and the five rings had fallen to the ground.

Tuoba leaned his back against the stone door at this time, panting hard, with an anxious look on his face, and then urged the three of them to take the ring and leave quickly.

Although the three of them were full of suspicion, when Tuoba spurted out a mouthful of blood, they realized that things had become a little unexpected for them.

But along the way, Tuoba has already told them the truth of the matter.

Originally, it was rumored that there was an elixir of life in it, but the moment Tuoba came out, everyone knew that it was just a scam.
