Chapter 9 Preparation Before You Get Started

Before coming to Xintai, I had imagined the appearance of the Xuanming Shrine, thinking that the so-called Xuanming Shrine was at most an ancient tomb or temple or something, but when I heard what Old Wu Tou said, I couldn't help but gasp in my heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past, when I was in college, I also conducted archaeological excavations with an archaeological team, but I never came across the kind of place that Lao Wu Tou said. I have always been an atheist materialist, and I never believed in legends such as ghosts and gods, but the experience of Lao Wu Tou made me doubt my own cognition. And Lao Wu Tou said that the Xuanming Divine Palace had something to do with the mining disaster in Xinzhang Mine, which made me suddenly have a sense of awe that I had never felt before for the Xuanming Divine Palace we were looking for. If the Xinzhang Mine Disaster is related to the Xuanming Divine Palace, which can cause the death of hundreds of people, then the terrifying power of the Xuanming Divine Palace will be very powerful.

Seeing that we weren't talking, Old Wu Tou raised his head and said to me, "Uncles, you already know everything you want to know, can you let us go home?" ”

I looked at Old Wu Tou, thinking that I couldn't let him go back now, if I wanted to find the Xuanming Divine Palace, I still needed the help of Old Wu Tou and his son. Besides, they know that we are looking for the Xuanming Divine Palace, and it is not a good thing for us to let them out.

"Old Wu Tou, you can rest assured that you can live here with Qiangzi, I think we still need your help if we want to find the Xuanming Divine Palace" After speaking, I motioned to the fat man A Ning to go out with me, and let Yang Zhi stay there and look at the two people, Lao Wutou and Qiangzi saw that we didn't mean to let them out, and they also kept shouting behind their backs, saying that we were not trustworthy, but I didn't say that they told me about the Xuanming Divine Palace, and I was going to let him go!

When I came to the corridor, I said to the fat man and A-Ning, "What do you think of what Old Wu Tou said? ”

Fat man: "Hey, I feel that what Lao Wu Tou said is a bit mysterious, what a ghost is there!" ”

A-Ning thought for a while and said, "I feel that Old Wu Tou didn't lie to us, what he said should be true." ”

"If what Old Wu Tou said is true, will we continue to investigate?" I said to the two of them. In fact, this problem is the most urgent thing to solve now.

The fat man and A Ning fell into deep thought, they thought for a while, and A Ning told me: "Brother Xiao Jiang, I think we can continue, first of all, according to the information provided by the old Wu Tou now, it is definitely a rare underground ancient building in the world, and besides, I feel that with the strength of a few of us, if we add the help of the old Wu Tou and the strong son, it should not be difficult to figure out the secrets of the Xuan Ming Divine Palace." ”

The fat man also nodded on the side and said, "There are a lot of treasures in it, even if we don't figure out the secrets inside, we can bring some with us, and we can make a fortune." Haha"

Hearing the opinions of the two of them, I had an idea in my heart, because I really wanted to go to the underground cave that Old Wu Tou said to see what it was, and since my grandfather had also discovered the Xuanming Divine Palace, it meant that it definitely contained something unknown. Thinking of this, my head ached for a while, what did the silk paintings left by my grandfather mean, what secrets were hidden in the Xuanming Shrine, and did my grandfather also go to the Xuanming Shrine?

With all kinds of questions in my heart, I came to the room again, and at this time the old Wu Tou calmed down, sat there with his son and smoked, and did not react when he saw us entering.

"Old Wu Tou, there is something I want to discuss with you, what do you think?" I said to Old Wu Tou while laughing.

Old Wu Tou: "What's the matter?" People are here, do I have any other choice? ”

Old Wu Tou said without looking at me, it seems that Old Wu Tou is very dissatisfied with me for keeping them here.

I thought for a while and said: "Old Wutou, don't get me wrong, it's not that I won't let you go, you can go out by yourself with the door open!" With that, I pointed to the door.

When the fat man and A Ning saw me letting Lao Wu Tou go, they immediately panicked, took my hand and whispered to me, "You can't let them go, how can we go to the Xuanming Divine Palace when they leave." ”

I waved my hand and didn't say anything, Lao Wu Tou looked at me and said that they could go at first taken aback, and then hurriedly pulled up the strong son and prepared to walk out of the door, seeing that Lao Wu Tou was about to open the door, I said to Lao Wu Tou's back: "Don't you want to get the treasure of the Xuanming Divine Palace?" ”

Old Wu Tou was stunned when he heard my words, and after a pause, he turned around and said to us in surprise: "You want to go there?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, we don't just want to go there, we also have to explore there, it seems that you have no interest in there, it seems that all the treasures inside are mine." Haha"

Old Wu Tou listened to my words, scratched his head, pulled the strong son and walked back, sat down in the chair again, and said expressionlessly: "You're not joking with me, are you?" ”

I looked at Lao Wu Tou, thinking to myself that the best way to deal with people like Lao Wu Tou is to let him know that he has money to make by working together, and other methods can't impress him at all, sure enough, since he is back, this shows that he still can't let go of the treasure of the Xuanming Divine Palace.

"I'm not kidding you, we're here this time for the things of the Xuanming Divine Palace." I affirmed.

Old Wu Tou shook his head and said: "There are many dangers inside, and there are zombies that can move, you can get in and out, I think it's better to forget it, I've already been there once, and I want to live a few more years" After speaking, he got up and walked out again.

I grabbed Lao Wutou's hand and said, "Old Wutou, since we plan to go in, we naturally have the ability to go in and come out, don't worry about this, besides, we still have this!" Saying that, I took out the map, put it in front of Lao Wu's face and shook it, Lao Wutou was not stupid to look at the map and his eyes lit up, at this time I quickly put the map away.

Old Wu Tou stared at me and said, "Do you have a map of the Xuanming Divine Palace?" ”

"Of course, otherwise how dare we go there. This map draws the situation inside clearly, with the map we can come and go freely in the Xuanming Shrine, if you are interested, we can go down together, anyway, we can't take the treasure there, just can divide some of you, in fact, it's nothing without you, you can go, but it's a pity if you go, the treasure in the cave has nothing to do with you. After saying that, I sighed, thinking to myself, how can I be so good at making up nonsense, where do we have a map of the shrine, this map is just the location map of a shrine thousands of years ago, my ability to lie is really another level, fortunately I didn't let the old Wu Tou see it clearly, otherwise don't want the old Wu Tou to join us. The fat man next to me and A-Ning secretly gave me a thumbs up.

After Lao Wu Tou saw the map, he lit another cigarette, and his expression seemed to be a little loose. Qiangzi, who had been silent next to him, saw that Lao Wutou was entangled and anxious, it seemed that Qiangzi especially wanted to get the treasure there, Qiangzi took Lao Wutou's hand and said: "Master, why don't we try it, this time it will be enough for me to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law." ”

After listening to his son's words, Lao Wu finally stopped hesitating, threw the cigarette to the ground, stomped on it with his foot, and said to us: "Fuck, damn it, starve the cowardly, support the bold." ”

The four of us were secretly happy when we heard the words of the old man, and I finally understood what the old man often said: People die for money, birds die for food.

In this way, the old Wu Tou joined our expedition, I asked the fat man to go to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes to the hotel, the six of us had a meal together, and the old Wu Tou said that although he was afraid of the Xuanming Shrine, he had a shadow on the Xuanming Shrine in his heart, but he also remembered the treasures inside, his son was not young, but it was also because he had no car, no house, and could not find his daughter-in-law, I hope that this time we can cooperate with more treasures, and will not let the strong son do this line in the future. A few of us heard Lao Wu Tou talk about this, and I also felt pity for the hearts of parents all over the world. Old Wu Tou also told us that it was best to bring some weapons when we went down this time, after all, there are dried corpses underneath, and this is not a joke. Lao Wu Tou left Qiangzi with us that night, and went home alone to get the guy, the fat man and A-Ning were not at ease at the beginning, afraid that Lao Wu Tou would go back by himself in case of calling the police or something, we would not be able to eat and walk, although we were here to explore, not to rob the tomb, but let the police catch us and we can't explain clearly. For the fat man and A-Ning's worries, I chose to believe in Lao Wu Tou, in fact, he himself knew that if he went home, we would suspect him, so he left his son here, and after Lao Wu Tou left, we also hurriedly prepared, because we didn't bring any weapons this time, so we had to procure, and we also lacked some emergency medicines.

We drove to contact a dealer who sold hunting supplies, in his shop, Aning chose a set of crossbow machines, the fat man chose and chose and finally did not find the weapon in hand, and finally bought a one-meter-long iron rod, I searched for a long time but did not find what I was looking for and finally had to give up. Originally, the fat man said to see if he could buy and rob it, but I directly organized the fat man's idea, after all, the state is now very strict about guns and knives, and it is impossible to buy a gun. This time we went out and bought not only weapons, but also liquor, cigarettes, lighters, kerosene and medicines for the lighters, and purchased a lot of them, which are necessary to bring with us when we go on an expedition.

When we returned to the hotel, Lao Wu Tou had already returned, looking at the tools that Lao Wu Tou brought back, I was also convinced, in addition to probing shovels, iron drills and other things, he also brought ink fountains, black dog blood, chicken blood, and a gossip mirror, it seems that Lao Wu Tou is really going to do a big job this time. Old Wu Tou looked at us with a helpless look on his face and couldn't help but tell us that these things may not be used underground, and finally Old Wu Tou also took out a package of gray powder to show us, at first we didn't know what it was, but after smelling it, we knew that it was gunpowder.

Just when everyone was sorting out the tools, I suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly said to Old Wu Tou: "Old Wu Tou, do you remember the location of entering the Xuanming Divine Palace?" ”

Lao Wu scratched his head and said: "I know the general location, it's not very clear after a long time, and the terrain has also changed in the past few years, but I can use a probe shovel to find out." ”

After speaking, Lao Wu Tou pointed to the probe shovel, and said confidently, I was relieved to hear this. After everyone cleaned up, we opened another room for Lao Wu Tou and Qiangzi, and then slept and waited for tomorrow's action.
