Chapter 98: If you don't have the strength to town, wouldn't you give away someone's head?
In the evening.
In a private room of a hotel in Beijing.
Shirley Yang was the east and hosted a banquet for Gao Xing, Hu Bayi and the fat man.
Actually, it's mainly about discussing the next step.
"Lao Hu, there are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it directly. Last time, I told you about the solution to the cursed mark, which is the legendary Dust Bead.
However, we are not very sure where the dust beads are going.
Back then, my grandfather once entered the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty in Bottle Mountain in Nuqing, Xiangxi with a tomb robber named Chen Yulou.
Because he heard that the dust bead was very likely in that ancient tomb.
Unfortunately, there was indeed a dust bead inside, but it was a high imitation.
It was on that occasion that my grandfather had an accident and lost an arm. Disheartened, he crossed the ocean and settled in the United States.
But he still hasn't given up looking for the whereabouts of the dust beads, and has been looking for relevant clues.
Later, my father came to China and found Chen Yulou with great difficulty. According to Chen Yulou, the dust beads are very likely to be in the tomb of the king of the ancient Dian Kingdom......"
Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Gao Xing's heart moved.
Although he didn't read all the books "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he roughly knew some of the plots.
The whereabouts of Yun Chenzhu should have been told by Hu Bayi by inadvertently meeting a person who claimed to be "Chen Blind".
And Chen is blind, it is Chen Yulou.
He did go to the tomb of King Xian, but he did not have the opportunity to enter, and was blinded by the poisonous fog on the periphery.
After meeting Hu Bayi by chance, he sold an ancient human skin map to Hu Bayi, saying that it was a road map for the tomb of the king.
And now, the plot has changed...... But that's fine, and it's a lot less troublesome.
Hearing what Shirley Yang said, Hu Bayi's expression looked very complicated.
"Miss Yang, didn't you talk about these things before? Since you know that the dust bead can lift the curse, and you know that it is in the tomb of the king in the ancient Dian Kingdom, then why take a huge risk to find the ghost cave? ”
"Like, do you have any secrets to hide from us?"
The fat man has always been distrustful of Shirley Yang, so he was questioned on the spot.
Shirley Yang sighed and said, "Old Hu, I have already told you before that the ghost cave is the source of the curse. If we don't find it, what's the use of getting the dust beads? ”
Hu Bayi was stunned, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Makes sense!" ”
Shirley Yang continued: "And this trip to the desert, I am really glad that not only did I find the ghost cave, but I also met the three of you. I believe that together, we will be able to find the dust beads. ”
"Wait!"
The fat man suddenly got his energy.
Because he heard the crux of the problem.
"Miss Yang, do you mean to let us accompany you to find the tomb of the king of the ancient Dian Kingdom? Or is it looking for dust beads? ”
"Yes, I wouldn't have been able to do it alone without your help."
The fat man snorted: "It's not impossible, it's impossible!" ”
"Well, fatty, I know what you mean. In short, I won't let you help in vain, as long as you agree to accompany me to find the dust beads, the reward is ...... You can mention the number. ”
"Hahaha, Miss Yang is really refreshing!"
As soon as he heard that there was money to take, the fat man laughed heartily, and glanced at Gao Xing and Hu Bayi and asked, "You say, how much is the right amount to drive?" ”
"This ......"
Hu Bayi seemed to be a little embarrassed, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Gao Xing.
"Well...... Gao Xing thought for a moment and said, "I'm different from you, money isn't the most important thing to me.
I make it my condition that if I find the Dust Orb, I can use it to cast a spell and completely dissolve the curse in you.
But, after the curse is resolved, the dust beads are mine. Because, I'm going to use it to refine magic weapons. ”
Hearing this, Shirley Yang couldn't help but say excitedly: "Great, I'll be relieved if you can help cast a spell to resolve it." I personally have no problem, Lao Hu, fat man, what do you say? ”
"I'm okay with that!"
"I'm okay with that!"
Hu Bayi and the fat man were also refreshed, and expressed their attitude on the spot.
"Okay, since Gao Xing has agreed, Lao Hu, you can make a price."
The fat man was afraid that Hu Bayi would be soft-hearted and offer a low price, so he hurriedly said, "Miss Yang, why don't you tell us the number first?" ”
"Okay fatty, don't just think about money all day long. To put it bluntly, even if Miss Yang doesn't look for Yun Chenzhu, I have to find it. Don't forget, we also have imprints on our bodies. ”
"Uh...... If you don't say me, I almost forgot about it. ”
"That's right, only by finding the dust beads can we hope to be free from the pain and shadow of the curse. Otherwise, our future generations will also be affected by it.
In this way, Lao Hu, Fat Man, Gao Xing, after the matter is completed, how about I pay you 200,000 US dollars alone? ”
"Two hundred thousand?"
Hearing this number, the fat man couldn't help but exclaim.
"Are you too little?" Shirley Yang couldn't help frowning.
After all, in those days, $200,000 could really be called a huge amount of money.
"No, no, no, enough, enough, hahaha...... By the way, when are we going to find the tomb of King Xian? ”
"Don't rush yet!" Shirley Yang shook her head: "I want to go back to the United States first, and deal with some important matters, which may be delayed for more than a month."
After finishing the work, I want to visit Chen Yulou again and inquire more about the tomb of King Xian, so that we will not blindly look for it. ”
Hu Bayi nodded: "This is the best, everyone is just taking a break from their bodies." And I learned a lot of new knowledge during this trip, so I just calmed down and digested it. ”
In fact, even if Shirley Yang asked to go to the king's tomb as soon as possible, Gao Xing would not agree.
Because he also needs a little time to digest the gains of this trip to the desert and improve his strength.
To put it bluntly, there are many organs in the tomb of the king, maybe you will encounter some powerful ghosts and monsters, and if you don't have the strength to town, wouldn't you give people away?
……
The next morning.
Pan Homestead.
"Yo, three masters, you can be counted as back!"
As soon as he saw the three of them, the big gold tooth called a passion, and quickly welcomed the three to the back room and made good tea.
"Master Jin, can you come and see how much these jade pieces are worth?"
The fat man was a little anxious to take out a few pieces of jade that he had found in the ancient tomb of West Night City.
"Oh? This is...... Where did you get it? It can't be a superb ancient city, right? ”
Obviously, these jade artifacts aroused the interest of the big gold tooth, and he couldn't help but ask as soon as he got his hands on it.
"It's not, it's an ancient tomb in the ruins of the West Night City......"
"Then have you found the Exquisite Ancient City?"
The fat man said proudly: "Of course I found it, otherwise it could be delayed for so long?" ”
"Awesome! To be honest, when you set out, I always thought you were going to give up halfway. After all, that big desert is terrifying......"
The big gold tooth looked emotional.
