Mr. Wei sat opposite the coffee table, holding the teacup in his hand, quietly watching the fragrance of tea waft in front of him.
He couldn't give a very clear answer to my question, Mr. Wei is only responsible for matchmaking, and I still need to explore and dig out a lot of this content by myself.
The only guarantee that Mr. Wei can give me is that there are a few righteous people among these people, and they are also well-known in the entire metaphysical world, so with them in charge, this team should not do too much rebellious things.
This was an important opportunity for me, and it almost determined whether I could use this opportunity to open the door to Nanjing and enter the metaphysical world of Nanjing.
After getting the address and time from Mr. Wei, he introduced a middle-aged man named Mo Fei. It is said that this gentleman's ancestral home is Sioux City, and his father and Mr. Wei used to have a friendship with each other, so they are considered his own people.
I quickly met a friend named "Mo Fei" on the outskirts of Nanjing, a muscular man in his early thirties.
Mo Fei is about 1.75 meters tall, has a very regular hairstyle, likes to wear a new and straight suit, a pair of leather shoes are shiny, no beard, dark skin, and looks like a veteran.
He didn't talk much, and the whole person seemed to be well-behaved to the point of being almost rigid, and after meeting, he just greeted me very simply, and then gave me a rough introduction to the activities of going down to the tomb.
Including me and Panda, there are a total of seven people who went to the tomb this time, which is a small and medium-sized team. The leader of the team is a native of Yunnan, whose real name is unknown, but his nickname on the road is "White Snake". White Snake himself brought two brothers over, the three of them knew each other well, and this was the only small gang in the tomb this time.
When I heard the nickname "White Snake", I had a bad feeling in my heart, because it was said in the notes of the big shopkeeper that nicknames such as snake, rat, and earth dragon were very common in the Xuanmen, and the people who called these nicknames were often from tomb robbers, because these animals were used to digging holes and lived underground. Like the "pit viper" in Xuzhou is a good example. Of course, there are exceptions to this, although Yu Sanlong of Sioux City is called a "fanged rat", but only because he looks like a mouse, not because he used to be a tomb robber. So although I feel suspicious in my heart, I can't treat White Snake as a tomb robber just because of his nickname.
In addition to the White Snake and his party, there is also an old-timer in the team who is said to be a local in Nanjing, the old-timer's surname is Tan, and he has rarely shown his face on the rivers and lakes in recent years, so he can't tell the origin of this old Tan, and he feels like a master outside the world.
However, I remember that Mr. Wei revealed before that there is indeed a senior in the team who seems to be very senior in the Nanjing metaphysics circle, and it seems that it should be this old Tan. But compared to Mr. Wei, Mo Fei knows more about Nanjing, since he doesn't know the true face of this "old Tan", it means that this "old Tan" is only a high senior, and his ability may not be strong.
After chatting with Mo Fei for a few words, Panda and I found that he was not the kind of person who likes to talk, so the two of us were too embarrassed to bother us more, so we hurriedly said goodbye and left, and made an appointment to meet again on the day of "going to the ground".
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and it was time to actually go to the ground.
How many imperial tombs in Nanjing, the feng shui dragon vein has already been carved up by the royal families and wealthy giants of all dynasties, so there are really not many treasures left in this land, but there are many tombs and mausoleums.
Despite this, the location of this landing is not near Nanjing, but from Chuzhou, to the southwest.
The leader of the team is from Yunnan, and there are only two people from Nanjing, Mo Fei and Lao Tan, I don't know why Mr. Wei thinks that this is a great opportunity for me to get to know the nobles of Nanjing Xuanmen. But since it is Mr. Wei's enthusiasm, and the fact that going down to the tomb is also an experience for me, of course I will not miss this opportunity.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the panda and I had arrived in a barren mountain southwest of Hefei. The geographical location here is not the same as the three-star Ming Dynasty tomb of the last Rouge Yaksha, it is more barren, there are only some dwarf vegetation on the mountain, and you can see the town in the distance.
Originally, we planned to come with Mo Fei from Nanjing, after all, we had met before, and we could be regarded as half friends. Who knew that Mo Fei was a ruthless character, who rejected our kindness in a few words, and resolutely decided to act alone.
When we arrived at our destination, we didn't see Mo Fei at the scene, there was only an old man in his sixties or seventies wearing a Mao suit.
You don't have to think about it to know that if he is alone and older, he must be the old-timer Lao Tan in Nanjing, who Mr. Wei said was "extremely senior" but had no achievements.
The panda and I politely stepped forward and said hello: "Hello senior, I'm Yang Ye, this is the panda, and the two of us came over together today to go down to the ground." โ
The old gentleman looked up at us, and his eyes had become very cloudy because of the ravages of time.
"Oh? Haven't you heard of any new friends coming over? I heard that your accent is from the north, introduced by White Snake? The old gentleman smiled at the corner of his mouth when he spoke, but he was a very kind senior.
I hurriedly shook my head and replied, "No, we came from Suzhou City, and Mr. Wei from Suzhou City was introduced by Mo Fei through Nanjing." โ
I know the rules of this industry well, because "going to the ground" is still a very sensitive activity after all, and everyone in a team must know the roots and trust each other. Therefore, I must be careful to answer any questions that the old gentleman has, and if I am not careful, I am likely to be suspected by them, and the slightest suspicion will cause fatal consequences in the operation.
After listening to me, Lao Tan nodded, and did not rush to answer me, but took out two cigarettes and handed them to me and Panda.
I took it and saw that it was two very ordinary red Nanjing.
Panda and I didn't think much about it, so we just clicked on it.
At this time, Lao Tan suddenly smiled: "Young man, you dare to smoke the cigarette I gave you just when we met?" Aren't you afraid of what's in here? โ
The panda and I were stunned, the cigarette had already been lit, and it was not to smoke it in the air, nor was it to pinch it off, which was very embarrassing.
Lao Tan smiled and said: "When you meet strangers in the future, don't be in a hurry to relax your vigilance first, you can avoid smoking and drinking water, and it's almost too late to get rid of it when you find out the details." โ
I hurriedly nodded slightly: "Thank you seniors for your teachings." โ
Lao Tan was also not polite, mumbled, and suddenly asked again: "You two said that you came from Sioux City?" โ
I nodded again.
Lao Tan thought for a while and asked, "Have you two heard of a ghost fight between Rouge Yaksha and King Wu in Su City a while ago?" โ
Panda and I were stunned, I looked back at the panda, the panda smiled innocently, and took the initiative to reply: "I'm sorry, I heard that I heard about it, but the things of those big people are too far away from our two juniors, so I just heard about it." โ
may be because he didn't want to reveal the details, so the panda didn't tell Lao Tan the true identities of the two of us, which is also reasonable.
Lao Tan saw that the panda had made the relationship clear in one sentence, so he didn't ask again, nodded and said, "Oh, that's a pity......"
After waiting for another half an hour, Mo Fei came from a distance with a huge hiking bag on his back, and nodded when he saw us, as for Lao Tan, he didn't even mean to nod and say hello.
Lao Tan is a good-natured old man, and he and Mo Fei are both people in the Nanjing metaphysical circle, and they may have heard of his arrogant and cold temper, so they didn't care about anything.
The three of them arrived at the latest, and it was said that they had encountered a small accident on the way, and it was already past dinner time when they arrived. The location where we met was still a short distance from the entrance to the tomb, and whether we could get there before dark was now a big question.
White Snake is a middle-aged man in his forties, short in stature, and looks only about 1.6 meters.
But although he is short, the muscles on his body are very strong, which reminds me of Amon, the top thug next to King Wu of Sioux City.
The two brothers who followed him were Ah Hu and Ah Li. Ah Hu was a bald and strong man, a head taller than the White Snake, while Ah Li was as short as the White Snake, and he didn't have much flesh on his body, and he was skinny.
White Snake looked polite and apologized to us after we met, but I could tell that this guy actually didn't look down on any of us, and seemed to think that we were all rubbish, and he didn't look down on us at all. The air of arrogance that he inadvertently exuded did not escape my eyes.
Mo Fei has always kept a straight face, and he has no smile at anyone, and he may not be aware of the white snake's two-faced and three-faced.
Lao Tan is a good person, this old man just glanced at the white snake twice, and then ran to the side and sat down with a smirk, too lazy to say a word to the white snake again. With Lao Tan's life experience, seeing through the White Snake is only a matter of minutes.
In the end, I exchanged a few words with the White Snake in line with the principle of valuing peace, and asked about the specific situation of the tomb at today's destination.
