Chapter XVII. Intelligence
After a long time, under our repeated persuasion, he finally timidly put away the beads.
Instead, under the stunned eyes of everyone, the old man solemnly bowed down before getting up and saying, "Thank you for your generous gifts, from now on, you are my friends of the dragon hunting clan." Our clan marks the arm with a dragon mark like the old man's. If you encounter difficulties and difficulties, you can ask them for help. I will definitely not refuse! ”
Seeing him like this, it seems that he is preparing to leave. Although we still have a lot of curious questions, we can't stay long, so we have to say goodbye to him.
However, when he turned around and was about to fly off the wall to leave, Kuroko suddenly thought of a question that had to be mentioned, "Old man, please stay." ”
The old man immediately stopped.
Kuroko continued, "You're obviously very familiar with this place, I wonder if you know where there is such a mark? As he spoke, he handed over the note!
The old man only glanced at it, "What are you looking for that ancient tomb?" ”
Well? How so? Could it be that the mark refers to the tomb that the tomb robbers are looking for?
The old man looked at us with a puzzled look on his face, and then said, "It seems that for the sake of acquaintance, the old man still wants to advise you not to pay attention to that ancient tomb, not to say how dangerous it will be to enter and exit, but the things in that ancient tomb are essentially a hot potato, whoever gets it will be unlucky!" ”
It seems that there is a play" So, old man, do you know where it is? ”
The old man nodded helplessly, and then shook his head: "It seems that you have made up your mind." The old man knows that he knows, but he can't say it, and he has caused you to lose your lives in vain. If you insist on going, remember that tomorrow when the sun rises, think differently and be in it that distracts from your vision. Know that the salient features of these mountains are your shortcuts to success. ”
"Precious!" As soon as he finished speaking, probably afraid that he would say more obvious clues, the old man jumped towards the abyss. I was so frightened that I hurried to follow, thinking that he couldn't think of something, and he couldn't find death.
Who knew that when I looked down, I only saw a white shadow touching all kinds of small stepping stones, like a ghost, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Xiu'er looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "What a great kung fu!" It's like flying! ”
After such a thing was tossed, the sky was already white, I didn't sleep all night, coupled with various sudden emergencies, at this time, the three of us had dark circles under our eyes, and at this time, the chill that I had not felt just now seemed to hit my brain, and everyone shivered from the cold.
The tent was destroyed in the explosion just now, but I survived by hiding the backpack under a huge raised rock.
The three of them hugged each other with a cold wind, looking forward to the rapid appearance of the sun.
Suddenly, a faint human voice sounded, and I didn't know that I had completely forgotten the old feng shui man who was lying on the side and passed out. I saw that he was awake, and he was wailing and trying to get up.
I glanced at him, then at Kuroko and Xiu'er, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do?" ”。 The implication is that he is the only one left in their team, should we let him go, or what should we do about it?
Kuroko was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Speaking of which, there is no grudge between us and those people, and what happened before was also caused by that fragrance, so there is no need to kill more." However, since this old man is a feng shui master, it may be of some help to us in our search for the ancient tomb in the future, so it is better to keep him by his side for the time being and make plans! ”
When the words fell, Kuroko got up and walked over, and when the old man in feng shui saw this, he thought he was going to take his life, so he was so frightened that he even crawled on the side and shouted, 'Don't kill me, don't kill me'.
"Nobody wants to kill you." Kuroko bent down and stretched out a hand, pulling him up. After a little observation, I found that the old man was not injured, and he had been asleep for so long before, which was completely caused by excessive fright. "Now that your teammates are dead, we wonder if you're willing to use your knowledge to help locate the tomb?"
"Huh? Nature is good, nature is good. I saw on the train that a few people were not ordinary people, and in fact, I didn't have a good relationship with their group of tomb robbers, and this time I really had to come with them, which is equivalent to forcing them with a knife on my neck. It can be seen that several bosses don't look like murderous people, and the old man will definitely do his best to assist everyone in finding the ancient tomb this time! "This feng shui master is really too cowardly, the sunspot said that he would not kill him, and even provoked him to say such a series of good things.
"What do you call it?"
"The old man's surname is Shi, and his full name is Shicun, but you can just call me Old Man Shi! That's what their wave of people called it. ”
Kuroko nodded. "Okay, then sit down, warm yourself around the fire, there is still more than an hour before dawn, don't freeze to death"
Old man Shi followed behind Kuroko with a cowardly look, I looked at him, it was really hard to imagine, how could such a person who was terrified everywhere be able to blend into the last tomb robbery team, weren't those people afraid that the old man would make trouble on the way?
The next time passed for a long time, and we stubbornly sent away the darkness little by little with our eyes open, ushered in the light, and waited until the fiery red sun showed our heads, only to see a glimmer of warm hope.
Although the sunrise scene was truly beautiful, Xiu'er was the only one of the four of us who was still in the mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, and I saw that her eyes seemed to be shining with excitement, completely forgetting the strange things that she had experienced last night that she would never forget, and she just desperately absorbed such scenery into her mind.
Brightness slowly covered the mountains, and everyone saw that it had entered the daylight, and they were tired all night, so they hurriedly brought their backpacks and took out dry food, because Old Man Shi's equipment had long been discarded, and we only scored one share from him, and this action attracted him some words of gratitude.
After eating and drinking, Old Man Shi went through all the information he had obtained so far: "About ten days ago, an old man in the tomb robbery circle who was highly respected and equivalent to the eldest brother broke the news that there was a large tomb in the mountains, which attracted tomb robbers from all over the world to flock to it. Strangely, I searched through the ancient books, and almost none of them existed. This is not surprising, according to common sense, Huangshan has a long history, although in terms of feng shui, it is indeed a good place. But it's not the best. Moreover, to build the cemetery here, it is necessary to dig the mountain and dig the stone, and the amount of work is based on the technology of the ancients, and it is impossible to build a decent thing in five to ten years. Originally, I couldn't find a clue and wanted to give up, but they were so ruthless that I had to find a way. Fortunately, after nearly ten days, I finally found some clues in a wild history. It is basically certain that the owner of this ancient tomb is the prime minister surnamed Hu who was above 10,000 people under one person during the Ming Dynasty! ”
